Duesenburg Custom Coach has delayed the launch of its Duesenberg II Torpedo Coupe. Based on the Mercedes CL500, the Duesenberg II Torpedo Coupe was originally slated for an August introduction but is now expected to bow in mid-2008. No official reason has been given for the delay
But, When the Torpedo finally does break cover, it will be powered by a conventional engine as well as a new engine-technology known as Cylindrical Engine Model. The CEM engine –which was designed by E.P. Industries — uses a rotating 12-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower yet can achieve 80 mpg. Now That's Thinking Green in a Good Way.
The Ford 427 concept is a modern, all-American sedan inspired by the exuberance of the companyÌs landmark sedans of the 1960s, replete with the uncompromising, 590-horsepower engine that inspired its name. The wheels feature an iconic five-spoke wedge-shaped configuration wrapped with 19-inch rubber. The nomenclature is a modern rendition of the 427 logo that saw use on the Galaxie 500 XL 427. When all of these elements are combined, they cast a silhouette that is unquestionably Ford and unabashedly American.
