German automobile giant, Audi AG, has finally released the official concept design of the A5 DTM concept race car which will make its debut during the International Frankfurt Motor Show this year. The A5 DTM race car has been called the R17 internally and is set to replace the A4 DTM four-door model, the one that has earned Audi its four Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters titles.
While the German automaker was hush-hush about the A5 DTM race car concept design’s specifics, the brand, however, confirmed that the A5 DTM race car will be unveiled with a heavy duty carbon-fiber monocoque. It will also have a steel roll cage, which, that the automaker confirmed, has passed the latest regulations on automobile safety. Furthermore, the front and rear crash absorbers requirements have been upgraded as well. The sidewalls of the A5 DTM race car boasts of a hybrid concept that combines Rohacell, carbon, and Zylon for increased side impact protection by almost four times.
Under the hood, the A5 DTM race car will roll out with a V-8 Engine with 460 horsepower or 340 kW of power. The A5 DTM will have a six-speed transmission.
The production of the initial prototype of the A5 DTM race car or R17 has been reported to be in full throttle in Audi Sport in Ingolstadt, Germany. While we have seen the outstanding rendering of the A5 DTM concept race car, we just have to wait for this year’s International Frankfurt Motor Show for its full unveiling.

Do you remember the Frankfurt Motor Show? Well I do and I can tell you that this car is one that stood out to me. It is the Lexus LF-Ch Concept and I have to say that this particular Lexus is not only going to be awesome, but it is also causing a lot of waves in the automakers blogs.
For example, Autoblog.com just reported that the Lexus LF-Ch Concept is going to be shown again at the LA auto show as well as the Detroit one.
While this car is already accepted very well in Europe simply because of its size, the US is still on the fence about it looks like. Personally, I would love to have a smaller call and I think that the Lexus LF-Ch Concept is definitely the best option for me!

Infiniti is a car company that is making all sorts of different jaws drop and when the Infiniti Essence concept car came out, I have to say that it was commanding the room all over. At the Geneva Motor Show that happened in March, this beautiful car was debuted and I have to say that the combination of gas and electric is something that every single man and woman in the world would not want to drive – after all, in the UK there are not a lot of green cars.
The cool thing about the Infiniti Essence is the overall feel of the car. It is a sports car and it is certainly one handsome looking car. The interior is just as important as the exterior and while this car has not hit production yet, it is something to think about. After all, the Infiniti Essence has hit the press and the press wants to know when this beautiful car is going into production.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Infiniti Essence and I’ll keep my ears open and keep you updated!
