Shooting Brake number two for today, but this one is a lot less realistic.

Do you know Dany Bahar still available? This ex-ceo of Red Bull and Ferrari came four years ago at Lotus with a megalomaniac plan to the British brand back to profitability. Of his ambitious plans, including six conceptcars, came little. He was also very busy with exorbitant expenses on the business account. It led to a dismissal + lawsuit. Lotus is now in calmer waters, but Danyboy is back. And how.

New tuningbedrijf: Ares

In an interview with Car&Driver says Bahar that he is a new tuningbedrijf in the Italian Maranello founded: Ares. Named after the god of war. ‘Tuning’, we must, in this case, a very broad one. Bahar wants to start offering bodykits for the exclusive modelletjes. Were called, the Bentley Continental GT, Range Rover (Sport), Rolls-Royce Ghost and Wraith. Sounds like an attack on the clientele of Mansory, which is also purely focused on the exclusive automobile.

Ares’ ambitions reach a bit further (could not be otherwise with Bahar at the helm). The company also wants to become so popular shooting brake-form on the Aston Martin Rapide and the Bentley Continental GT. Either, Bahar goes carrosserieaanpassingen run. Says ‘ie. They have already a bunch of photoshops released in which the result is to see. Well, it looks like something many a professional player like a world cup premium piece in their hands.

Bahar also has a handful of people at Lotus taken to Ares, including the 26-year-old designer Mihai Panaitescu who joined in Lotus’ conceptcarfiasco, and Wolf Zimmermann, a former AMG ceo at Lotus any time the R&D took. Zimmermann (cool hairstyle) claims even that they are with Ares in the long term a fully private car in the market are:

“There are a lot of new cars and new ideas that we already have in the pipeline, and Ares is also looking forward to building its own cars in the future.”

We are curious where Dany Bahar is going to come. we expect at the Geneva motor Show at least 14 conceptcars with Veyron-like performance – on paper – that are presented by a handful of rappers.
