The modern, sustainable legacy of BMW M GmbH began in 1985 when engineers placed the snarling, race-bred inline-6 engine from the M1 supercar into the production BMW 5 Series sedan, reworked the suspension and brakes, and created the first M5. Through this industry-first combination of attributes, the M5 redefined the capabilities of a sedan with levels of power, precision, balance, and linear control never before imaginable. Since then, finding new ways to expand the boundaries of what is possible with existing BMW models has been the singular purpose of the craftsmen at BMW M. Now the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are the first all-wheel-drive models to offer the remarkable performance, dynamic driving experience, athletic design, and premium quality of a BMW M product.Both models are powered by a newly-developed 4.4-liter V8 M engine delivering 555 hp at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque from 1500 to 5,650 rpm. This new M engine is the world's first with a pulse-tuned exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders combined with high-performance twin-scroll twin turbo technology.For the X5 M and X6 M, engineers at BMW M pushed the capabilities of BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system and the Dynamic Performance Control system to manage the power and performance potential of these two new vehicles. The special M suspension includes Adaptive Drive and newly-developed Servotronic power steering. These features combine to push the limits of what was previously possible with a sports-oriented vehicle, and guarantee driving behavior characteristic of a BMW M product: incredible stability and precisely controlled steering qualities abound throughout the performance envelope.
BMW presented the racing version of the new BMW M3 at the Chicago Auto Show. Powered by a 485 bhp eight cylinder engine, this impressive race car has been designed to compete in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) beginning in 2009. The car is based on the fourth generation of the BMW M3, the high-performance sports car produced by BMW M GmbH.
BMW’s 2009 entry into the American Le Mans Series will be driven by a partnership between BMW of North America, LLC and Rahal Letterman Racing, co-owned by US motorsport legend Bobby Rahal. In the course of developing the race version of the BMW M3, BMW’s engineers were faced with an ambitious task: to improve upon the sportiness of an already sporting car. A better base would, though, be difficult to find. In standard form the vehicle delivers powerful dynamics and sporting aesthetics. Thanks to an eight cylinder engine producing 414 bhp, BMW’s customers are provided with a unique driving experience. Those engine blocks, cast in BMW’s light alloy foundry in Landshut - the very source of BMW’s Formula One castings - selected for race duty need to withstand even more power: the BMW P65 race engine delivers 485 bhp. In order to enable the BMW M3 to make full use of this performance on the race circuit, the experts in Munich have not concentrated solely on the engine, but have race-tuned the chassis as well. The race version of the BMW M3 is wider and significantly lighter than its production equivalent, enabling it to perfectly transmit the power of its V8 to the track. Widespread use of carbon-reinforced plastic (CRP) provides proof of substantial weight reduction. As with the production version, the race car’s roof is manufactured from this high-tech material.

Again we continue to prove that being eco-friendly does not mean the car has to be slow and ugly, as proven by one of Saab’s most amazing cars yet to be created, the Saab Aero X. This amazing Concept car was revealed in the 2006 Salon International de L’Auto. The Aero X is clearly a car inspired to fit the 21st century. The entire car from inside out was inspired by modern day fighting jets and is a 2 seats sports car. The car’s body is made out of carbon fiber making it lighter and stronger. The Aero X offers a unique one of a kind “door”. These are unlike anything you’ve ever seen. To get in the car the entire roof, along with the wind shield and “door” section opens up, just like in a jet. As you enter the car you come upon an entirely new world. The instrumentation are displayed in a mind blowing 3-D image. The 3-D image covers the entire area were you would usually have the air condition and radio instrumentation as well as were your performance information is usually at hand. The Aero X also hosts great comfort with 2 leather covered seats which further submerge you in its new world. However, another utterly amazing and unique characteristic is its windshield. This new windshield offers a complete 180 degree look, improving visibility and aerodynamics. This, and all the other futuristic concepts gives the car an amazing new environment. Nonetheless, the design of the car is not the only exceptional characteristic. The Aero X is an amazing eco-friendly machine. At the core of this is an state of the art V6 twin turbo BioPower engine producing 400 hp with a four-wheel drive. Because the Aero X uses 100% bioethanol it produces ZERO CO2 emissions. On top of being an eco-friendly engine, it propels the Aero X from 0-100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The Aero X also poses advanced 380 mm ventilated disks to keep it as safe as possible and enjoyable to drive. A very innovative aspect is that the wheels are designed to cool the brakes, so in terms act the blades in a jet turbine. Finally, if the car is well received by the public it may go into to production making it a must have for anyone interested in having one of the most modern cars. Again we can see that combining eco-friendly technology with unique extravagant designs is no problem for today’s people and technologies.
Unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show 2009, the new generation of 2010 Jaguar XK sports coupe and convertible has all-new engines giving more power and performance with greater efficiency; revised exterior styling and interior enhancements. All-new AJ-V8 Gen III direct-injection engines are the most advanced and efficient engines Jaguar has ever produced: 5.0-litre naturally aspirated AJ-V8 Gen III engine delivers 385PS (385bhp SAE), 515Nm of torque and propels XK to 60mph in just 5.2 seconds.

The innovative and technologically advanced extruded and bonded aluminum chassis has high side sills that reduce the complexity of the chassis structure. The engine with VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift – intelligent) is mated to a Roots-type Eaton M62 supercharger with air-to-air intercooler to give a maximum power output of 243 bhp at 8,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 174 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm. On production versions, an entry-level naturally-aspirated VVTL-i engine will also be available with 190 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 138 lb-ft at 7,000 rpm. Engine management control is provided by the bespoke - mapped Lotus T4 system and a drive-by-wire electronic throttle.
Ideas sometimes come together to give life to even the most fantastic ideas. In some cases the dreams finally become reality, making way for part-real, part-fantasy automotive designs. The result of such an idea is the 308 RC Z concept cars. The 308 RC Z concept cars is a new Peugeot interpretation of driving pleasure. The car is a 2+2 coupe, with true versatility and at the same time a style that is modern, original and well-balanced. Attention initially focused on making the vehicle as light as possible by the use of numerous aluminum components, for example the two roll over protection bars that separate the passenger compartment and give shape to the exterior styling, and the use of a polycarbonate rear windscreen and a large number of carbon fiber body parts.
Now when talking about power, you can’t help but wish that you had access to a FT-HS. So far, most of these have been concept cars. Not this one though, as this vehicle is scheduled to go into production in 2009. Soon we can all be salivating at the beauty of its advanced hybrid - gasoline system, capable of moving you from 0 to 100kph/60mph in an astonishing four seconds flat. Now that’s what we call power!
The Karma’s performance specs rev out at 0-60 mph in 6 seconds, and a top speed of 125 mph. At $80,000 USD, The car is a plug-in hybrid based on technology of Quantum Technologies. The Q DRIVE consists of a small gasoline engine which in turn charges the lithium battery packs in the car. According to Fisker, if charged properly, the hybrid would need to use no more than a fuel tank per year, quite a claim
Looking at, how it actually functions. As we put the car in start mode and accelerate, the electric motor takes over the engine. The Honda Civic Hybrid offers the exhilarating style, advanced level of safety and cutting-edge technology. And, with its dual feature of gasoline and electric functioning,Honda Civic Hybrid is rated among the best fuel efficient cars.

Maserati is an Italian manufacturer of racing cars and sports cars, established on December 1, 1914 in Bologna. The company’s headquarters are now in Modena, and its emblem is a trident. It is a luxury car manufacturer competing directly with Aston Martin and Jaguar, and sometimes with large German mass-producers, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Today, it is owned by the Italian car giant Fiat S.p.A. since 1993. Inside the Fiat Group, Maserati has been initially associated with Ferrari S.p.A., more recently it is part of the sports car Group with Alfa Romeo. The Maserati brothers, Alfieri Maserati, Bindo Maserati, Carlo Maserati, Ettore Maserati, Ernesto Maserati and Mario Maserati, were all involved with automobiles from the beginning of the 20th century. Alfieri, Bindo and Ernesto built 2-litre Grand Prix cars for Diatto. In 1926, Diatto suspended the production of race cars, leading to the creation of the first Maserati and the founding of the Maserati marque. One of the first Maseratis, driven by Alfieri, won the 1926 Targa Florio. Maserati began making race cars with 4, 6, 8 and 16 cylinders (actually two straight eights mounted parallel to one another). Mario, an artist, is believed to have devised the company’s trident emblem, based on one the Fontana del Nettuno, Bologna. Alfieri Maserati died in 1932 but three other brothers, Bindo, Ernesto and Ettore, kept the firm going, building cars that won races.In 1937, the remaining Maserati brothers sold their shares in the company to the Adolfo Orsi family, who in 1940 relocated the company headquarters to their hometown of Modena, where it remains to this day. The brothers continued in engineering roles with the company, however. Racing successes continued, even against the giants of German racing, Auto Union and Mercedes. In 1939, a Maserati 8CTF won the Indianapolis 500, a feat repeated the following year.
Hamann offers its clients three different engine tuning options. The high revving 5 litre V10 with 507bhp and 520Nm is limited to 250km/h as standard. By removing the engine limiter, the racy Bavarian can reach a top speed of 300km/h, depending on the wheel and tyre combination.The second option is made up of a combination of removing the engine limiter and optimising the engine characteristics by reprogramming the standard engine computer. Hamann manages to tease an additional 30bhp/26kW and 15Nm out of the V10 engine.The "HM/M +60" sport kit provides even better performance. The kit is made up of high performance headers, metallic sports catalytic converters, a sports rear silencer, a sports air filter, an engine map optimisation and the removal of engine restrictions. As the name of the sports kit already suggests, the engine then provides around an additional 60bhp/44kW and can provide an extra 54Nm of torque, meaning that a notably faster top speed of up to 320km/h can be reached.
SSC - Ultimate AeroThe latest high performance variant of the SSC Aero made its debut at the 2005 Concorso Italiano in Monterey, CA. The car was specifically created to challenge the 250 mph barrier, and with recent top speed attempts by Koenigsegg and Bugatti, the car will have to achieve that number if it wants to hold the title of 'World's Fastest Production Car'. Following the creation of the 787 horsepower 'Standard' Aero, the Ultimate version features enhanced body work with improved downforce at higher speed, as well as a more powerful version of the supercharged V8 engine in the standard car. An increase in boost, a modified cam, and an upgraded fuel delivery system help the engine make over 1,000 hp, topping the Bugatti Veyron. The car is also lighter by 200 pounds due to lightweight materials. The bodywork alone weighs under 150 lbs. The visual differences can mostly be seen in the rear of the car, which is sloped behind the cockpit and ends in a small spoiler. Using the testing in the windtunnel, the 250 mph should be achievable if a suitable track can be found. High speed test runs are planned for later this year.Car maker SCC plan to prove their Aero can beat the 250 mph mark. SSC has yet to verify the cars actual performance values, but they say that the car should be capable of of 260 to 273 mph. Each Aero has a heavily modified Corvette engine which is forced fed by a supercharger which the final result is 1050bhp. It's has a steel space frame and is covered by the carbon fibre body panels.

Remember when we started referring to the Nissan GT-R as Godzilla? You probably thought it was just us making a clever commentary on the prospects of the new Nissan as a sales leader (though not everyone agrees that'll happen). Nope. We were talking about how freaking ginormous the thing is. Thanks to the folks over at i-club, we now can represent this idea visually.
Nissan GT-R
What we know about the GT-R is that it will share its underpinnings with the Infiniti G35 coupe and sedan and the Nissan Z. Power will come from a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, with power rumored to be somewhere between 400 to 450 horsepower, believable considering the size of the twin exhausts we saw on the prototype we photographed earlier this year in LA. The GT-R has also sported all-wheel drive since the 80s, and we're confident that the newest one will, too.
With the arrival of Nissan Navara had disappeared the previous generation, but with current legislation, pick up have suffered a significant price increase, which has left an important gap for those who need a more basic than a Pathfinder pickup. For all these reasons, arrives at the Spanish market Nissan NP300 .
With a trade name unattractive, the new Nissan joins the range of vehicles targeted a mixed use work / leisure, with a price more attractive and generally good qualities. The diesel engine is the same as that used in previous Nissan Navara, with 2.5 liters and 133 hp.

Coupe Reports 2 Door Coupe Reviews, Ratings, & Reports Hyundai Coupe To Steal Sales from BMW and Mercedes
0 comments Posted by angelina joulie at 3:43 AM
The Hyundai Coupe isn’t a vehicle that has gotten a lot of attention in the luxury car market. However, luxury coupe sales like those of the BMW Coupe and the Mercedes Coupe have gone down as the economy has begun to shift. For that reason, Hyundai’s slightly more affordable luxury Genesis may be able to steal some of the market away from higher-end cars.
Luxury Coupe Sales are Down
In general, luxury coupe sales have declined. Mercedes Reviews and BMW Reviews indicate that these vehicles are still well-liked but sales show that the Mercedes Coupe and BMW Coupe (along with higher-end Infiniti Coupes and the Lexus Coupe) are declining.
Hyundai Coupe is Affordable
The Hyundai Coupe is in a unique position because it is a luxury coupe which is considerably more affordable than the Mercedes Coupe or BMW Coupe. However, the Hyundai Coupe is a high-priced car in terms of Hyundai Cars. This means that Hyundai could use the change in coupe sales to attract a higher-paying buyer than in the past despite the fact that the coupe is lower in price than the other luxury coupes that are out there.
The Tiburon has been restyled with lower-profile headlamps that give Hyundai's sports coupe a more mainstream Japanese look. Hyundai has also tweaked the top-of-the-line SE model's handling to enhance its appeal to enthusiasts.

We’re still in the dark when it comes to specs but we do know that the all-new C5 is based on the Peugeot 407 chassis and like the current C5, it too will be equipped with Citroen’s fabulous hydropneumatic suspension. We also now that Citroen’s designers have “sculptured” a beautiful and dynamic shape for the new C5 which will be offered initially in sedan and station wagon variants. Same goes for the interior though we could have done without that weird steering wheel with the fixed hub and the 20,000 buttons.
Citroën Sport is pleased to announce the arrival of Red Bull as a new partner of its programme with the Citroën C4 WRC and its crews Sébastien Loeb/Daniel Elena and Dani Sordo/Marc Marti in the FIA World Rally Championship.
It is the combination of the Citroën brand's international reputation, Team Citroën
Total's outstanding performance record and the exceptional personality of the
drivers (three Manufacturers' titles, plus four consecutive world titles for
Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena) that perfectly matches the vision of Red Bull –
creator and global leader of the energy drinks market – which is looking at
developing closer ties with the French market.
Citroën Sport Director Olivier Quesnel is delighted with this association which will
begin from the very next round of the 2008 World Rally Championship, Rally
Argentina (March 27-30). "We are extremely happy to have this exciting new
opportunity to work with such a dynamic company as Red Bull. The images of our
respective firms are very complementary and this partnership will be beneficial
since it slots in perfectly with rally sport and with Citroën, which is a particularly
active brand."
Red Bull GmbH is based in Fuschl am See, near Salzburg in Austria, and is
present in more than 130 countries across the world. The philosophy behind Red
Bull's partnerships in the world of sport is based on building strong associations
with sportsmen and women who excel in their particular domains.
Red Bull joins Team Citroën-Total's existing partners for 2008, namely Pirelli, Le
Coq Sportif, Eurodatacar, Citroën Financement, Magneti-Marelli, Sabelt,
Transalliance, OZ Racing and Météo France Sports.
