Welcome to the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show!

Officially open to the public from November 30th to December 9th. If you would like to provide post-show coverage, there would be the time to do so.

Press days run from November 28th to November 29th. You must reveal your cars on or before the press days.

BE MOVED: That’s the tagline that headlines the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the world, and with 2018’s fin de siecle, automakers are certainly expected to drop some big vehicles at the show this year. We as a species have been conditioned to expect improvement and success, so what can you do to move our crowds? Some of the biggest reveals last year were the ErinSport GT 18, Zenshi Shinden Concept, Scagliati La Serenissima Quattrocento, and much more.

As usual, we welcome the world’s automotive press to join us with open arms. Anyone from MotorNation or its affiliates would be a wonderful addition to the press, but anyone else who would like to commentate are more than welcome as well.

Teasers, Pre-show reveals, engine reveals, and modified cars are all encouraged.

Our full yearly auto show schedule is available here.

New from Atlas Automotive at the 2018 LA Auto Show:

Atlas ST-R Concept

The ST-R concept car was created for this years 2018 LA auto show, Its name meaning Six-cylinder, Turbocharged, Racer. The ST-R concept is designed to take to the track and rip apart its competition. It utilizes a track tuned Flat 6 motor capable of reving as high as 9000rpm’s and equipped with twin turbochargers with ceramic bearings and high strength titanium turbines/housing. Also includes a retractable fully adjustable spoiler(think porsche panamera style spoiler) that is tuned on the fly by the cars computer, adjusting for wind and how aggressive the driver is pushing the car.

Not only that but the tires are racing grade slicks and the rims carbon fiber. Much of the chassis and interior are all made from carbon fiber, keeping weight at a minimum. The Flat 6 engine mid mounted also help give a low center of gravity, pushing handling to the maximum of 1.43g’s. The ST-R is one of two hand crafted cars from Atlas Automotive group, the first will be put in Atlas’s collection and the second will be auctioned off at a currently undisclosed time.

Specs:

Engine: 3.0L Flat 6 Twin turbo DOHC Transmission: C12 Competition Sequential straight cut
Horsepower: 588HP @ 8400 RPM Torque: 378LB-FT @ 7600 RPM
Weight: 2680 lb Skidpad: 1.43g
0-60(mph): 2.8s Top speed: 179mph(drag limited)
1/4 mile: 10.36s MPG: N/A

If testing is desired, PM me and I will provide the file for review.

*some stats will be different in Automation due to the lack of Straight cut gearing and Carbon fiber interior(and other weight saving techniques)

588 horsepower and only 179 mph? It might be due to the sheer amount of downforce (and drag) it generates. A road-biased low-drag version could theoretically reach 200 mph or more with the same amount of power.

179mph is realistic with 588 and the areo kit this thing has. If you removed it and made an adjustment or two to the transmission likely it could reach higher top speed(the viper acr has a similar effect with its aero kit vs the regular vipers). It’s a track car as I intended.
