Audi R8 V10

Audi is cranking up the juice on its flagship R8 sports car with the introduction of the Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro, which got an early reveal on the web today. The Audi R8 shares some less visible bits with its corporate cousin, the Lamborghini Gallardo, but until now the Lambo's V10 engine has remained exclusive to the Italian side of the family.



The Audi R8 V10 will be the street going version of the Audi R8 LMS that debuted a couple of weeks ago at the Essen Motor Show in Germany. It's 5.2L V10 is rated at 525 horsepower and 390.91 lb-ft of torque in European spec form. Those numbers fall a bit shy of the latest Lambo Gallardo LP560-4 even with the same displacement, which ensures that the Lambo can still command a price premium over the German machine. The U.S. version of the Audi R8 V10 should remain pretty close to these numbers. That will be enough to push the 0-62 sprint under four seconds to 3.9 seconds. Unfortunately, the R8 is still saddled with the same craptastic 6-speed R-tronic as the only alternative to its proper manual gearbox.

The Audi R8 V10 now also inches closer to the magical 200 mph mark with a terminal velocity of 196 mph. The Audi R8 V10 version gets a new set of all-LED headlights for both high and low beams and the scoops on the side blades now bulge out to suck in the extra air needed to feed and cool the larger engine and new design wheels and tires.

A new rear diffuser also helps keep the rear end planted where a set of twin oval tailpipes replace the quad exhausts on the standard model. The R8 V10 will be available in Germany starting next spring with a base price of EUR 142,400 (approx $180,000) and will make its official debut in January at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. This car now should hang with some serious motorcycles now.

Toyota Winglet

Toyota surprises us again. It has come up with this beautiful and gladden the eye vertical, mechanized scooter intended to help us to move about in public areas.



The scooter is called the Winglet because of its fleet nature, it is the first gadget to duplicate the celebrated, and often mocked, navigation system of Dean Kamen's Segway Transporter: self-balancing through gyroscopic sensors detecting the gentle directional tilts of a rider.

The newest model can go up to 12.5 miles per hour (versus the Winglet's 3.7 MPH), and the slightness of the Winglet's frame probably wouldn't survive a Police chase.

Lotus Eco Elise

First of all the fact is Henry Ford experimented with hemp to build car bodies. He wanted to build and fuel cars from farm products. It is known that now BMW is experimenting with hemp materials in automobiles as part of an effort to make cars more recyclable. Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil. And there is the green car, Lotus Eco Elise wich body was made out of hemp. "This Eco Elise is a great example of the advanced and affordable green technologies Lotus is developing. We are at the cutting edge of environmental technology and are determined to push forward with our green agenda. The Lotus brand values of lightweight, fuel efficient, and high performance are more relevant today than they ever have been. We are keen to ensure that Lotus as a company and its products offer an ethical, green option that appeals to our customers". says Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus plc.



The project focuses on developments in:
Sustainable materials
Cleaner manufacturing processes
Renewable energy generation
Reducing carbon miles
Efficient driving techniques

Supercar Scorpion

Really it sounds great - a 200mph-plus supercar that takes 3.5 seconds to get to 60mph, and still gets 40 miles per gallon. I mean a new hybrid-powered sports car The Scorpion. The supercar also boasts a high performance V-6 engine, capable of delivering 289 hp, with an additional option for a 450 hp model.



Unlike other hydrogen vehicles, the Scorpion does not require a high pressure, on-board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fuelling station. And consequently, the system seems to tampering with the dark laws of thermodynamics.

New investors in Ronn Motors are currently being encouraged, via the company website. Ronn Maxwell of the company, says he expects to start deliveries in this year autumn, with no price announced so far.

Subaru Exiga

This is a new Subaru Exiga concept that debuted last year at the Tokyo auto show (2007 Tokyo Auto Show Preview: Subaru Exiga). At that time it was rumored that it would see production in the not too distant future.




Subaru has been promising a seven seater for years, but have yet to deliver one to their own home market as the Tribeca isn't sold this side of Pacific. A couple of years ago it was leaning towards a minivan-style MPV, but for this year's show they have chosen to throw a couple of seats in the back of Japan's best selling station wagon, the Legacy, to make the EXIGA Concept.

The Most Popular.

Each year brings us the top of the most popular, most economy and most fuel-efficient or greenest cars vehicles. The rankings determined by the number of automotive experts, cars sellers and buyers have shown that Mazda and Toyota are a success permanently. And it’s no wonder because their many years circulation in the automotive market is a living proof of quality and performance that catch the interests and attentions of various auto users and aficionados from all generations. It also helps to make the fastest-growing full-line automotive brands in whole world last years. The Mazda CX-9 were chosen as the car and truck of the year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The winners were selected by a jury of 46 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. Jurors have considered a variety of factors, including innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value.



The Mazda 6 is from these automobiles which distinction in the affordable midsize class can be earned as a sporty, stylish alternative to the somewhat conservative class-leading competition. Also the car has very attractive pricing and this is supplementary key reason to choose this sedan over midsize models. Motor Trend writes, "The Mazda 6 delivers a lot of sporty car for the money, especially when compared with Japanese rivals that usually cost more when equally equipped." And it seams that Mazda does not just promise to put the soul of a sports car into everything it makes but it actually delivers on that promise.

And what about turbo-diesel engine cars? So, the car vehicle that offers both better performance and fuel efficiency in addition to higher equipment levels and overall better value is Land Cruiser Toyota Prado of course, Toyota has delivered on its commitment of taking a position of leadership in responding to the needs of the four-wheel-drive market. As a result Toyota took the global sales lead from General Motors in the first quarter of 2008, capitalizing on growth in China and Europe. The new standard offers the choice of manual or automatic transmission, ABS anti-lock brakes, cruise control and a leather gearshift lever.

Mercedes GLK 2009.

Mercedes-Benz has not be waiting till the 2008 Beijing China Auto Show that is scheduled to start on April 20 in Beijing, the Chinese and published first images and details of the new version of small crossover SUV - Mercedes-Benz GLK.
The smallest SUV ever to come from Mercedes shed its camouflage to reveal styling details and confirm some basic specifications. Built on the same chassis as the compact C-Class sedan, the GLK shows a wheelbase and overall length similar to the C-Class. This should put the GLK right in line with other entry-level luxury sport-utilities like the BMW X3 and Land Rover LR2.



Chassis-related changes over the C-class 4Matic include a new steering rack, bigger brakes, and a modified independent suspension that permits more wheel travel for extra axle articulation. A handling package (adaptive dampers, quicker steering, fatter antiroll bars) will be available, and wheel sizes should top out at twenty inches. Curb weight should fall between 3400 and 3700 pounds.

The U.S. market likely will see the following models: the GLK280 V-6 4Matic (228 hp); the GLK350 V-6 4Matic (268 hp); and the GLK320 CDI V-6 4Matic (221 hp). All will be fitted with a seven-speed manu-matic. Of course, no Mercedes-Benz lineup would be complete without an AMG version, so the near-500-hp GLK63 AMG 4Matic should come along shortly thereafter.

Bugatti 2008.

New Bugatti officially unveiled by Hermes at the Geneva Motor Show has become the most expensive automobile. It’s major difference from prefabricated Veyron is the Hermes inspired leather interior of course, plus the wheels as well as the H logo throughout the car.



It is assumed that issue of these cars will be limited with 5 ones only. That is just the pint! So, every next Bugatti will cost to potential buyer a pretty penny - 1 550 000 euro.

Every owner and big fan of Chevrolet can tell you that Corvette is definitely one of the best American cars and you need not worry about this legendary sports car which is able to beat the shit out of a Mustang and other muscle cars models, that the base Corvette is faster than the most expensive Mustang, the GT500 and that’s matter of fact. Also they will say of course that if that Corvette is a ZO6, it can beat a few Ferrari's.




I’ve written already about announced in Detroit the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, which designation refers to the cubic-inch displacement for the highest-performance engines offered between 1966 and ’69 with the first ever offered a red metallic tint coat paint. This is really highest performance production car in Chevrolet and GM history. “The heritage of the 427 designation with the Corvette is legendary,” said Harlan Charles, Corvette product manager. “Recognizing the tie-in of the original 427 engine and the LS7’s 427-inch displacement has been on the Corvette team’s mind since the Z06 was introduced, and we’re thrilled to express it in this special model.”

Though you were happy owner of Corvette, going to buy it or just “typical” American male who loves sports cars, Corvette Guide is the service which will help you to learn all about this true icon of American muscle cars, including history, news, features, racing, shopping, high quality photos, articles, reviews and more. Everyone is welcome, this is real world of Corvette!

Suzuki Concept Kizashi 3

Suzuki announced that new concept car called the Concept Kizashi 3 will be introduced at the New York Auto Show in two weeks.

The Concept Kizashi 3 will represent the completion of the Kizashi concept series as well as providing a closer-to-production vision of a future Suzuki sport sedan offering.



First Suzuki Kizashi Concept we have met at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, next the Kizashi Concept 2 - at the Tokyo Motor Show. At the New York Auto Show later this month, we'll meet the Concept Kizashi 3, the most production feasible Kizashi concept to date and the last one in the series. Cast in the form a sport sedan, the Concept Kizashi 3 portends a future performance four-door for the Japanese brand, and we're down with that given Suzuki hasn't played in this space with a decent offering, like, ever. We have no other information on Suzuki's big debut for New York, so no word on what powers it, which wheels are driven or what the interior's like, but we'll find out soon enough when Autoblog goes to Gotham.

Nissan Murano 2009.

Nissan took the wraps off its 2009 Murano crossover in Los Angeles. This auto calls the all-new model a "super-evolution" of the first-generation Murano.

Murano crossover first went on sale in 2003 as a 2004 model and helped popularize the crossover segment. The Japanese automaker is obviously hoping to build on that success with the substantially reworked 2009 Murano making its world bow the 2007 Los Angeles auto show.



The crossover features a new exterior and interior, more standard technology, and an improved driving experience thanks to a new platform — the new Altima's "D" architecture, to be exact. New Murano design includes an available dual panel power sliding glass moonroof and 2nd row skylight. Other available Murano features include a new foldaway cargo organizer, heated front and rear seats, power liftgate, rain-sensing front wipers and RearView Monitor.

Truck and Car of the Year awards

General Motors started off the 2007 North American International Auto Show with a bang when its new full-size pickup, the Chevrolet Silverado, and its new midsize sedan, the Saturn Aura, won the North American Truck and Car of the Year awards.

"I just want to go, 'YES!'," said Jill Lajdziak, Saturn vice president for sales, service and marketing, while she pumped her fist in the air. "Sometimes you have to speak from the heart. This is a great day for General Motors, for Chevrolet and for Saturn"


Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper was a little more restrained but also pleased as he accepted Chevrolet's award. "Inside, we have always felt we had the best truck, but this award validates those feelings," he said.

The North American Car and Truck of the Year awards are voted by 49 independent journalists from the United States and Canada.

Good Coverage by Reasonable Price.

As a rule many auto manufacturers offer the standard three-year or 36,000 miles new cars protection warranties and only some of them such as Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Volvo, Saab, Mercedes, Lincoln, Lexus and Jaguar provide four-year or 50,000-mile ones. Majority of consumers prefer to buy extended warranties when they buy cars or other appliances and that is normally. Extended car warranty also called as service contract provides extended service agreements directly to consumers avoiding dealership markups and designed to protect customer against the costs of sudden breakages of the motor vehicle. There are several most common types of warranties and service programs such as warranties limited and unlimited, extended warranties, certified vehicles.

As regards used-car buyers they have to pay attention that not all factory warranties get transferred at the time of purchase. So in case you have bought a used car without getting an auto extended warranty, you perhaps think about purchasing ones as long as the vehicle is within certain mileage limits and that is normally. Now using the internet you have great chance to get the answer to any your question and comparing prices to pick up the most comprehensive auto extended warranty right now, online. You must admit that it is much better to know exactly what to expect instead of to be nasty surprised with sudden and unforeseen failure of specified component and to find out that it was in the excluded section of your contract. Anyway extended warranty is good deal in case it offers good coverage at a reasonable price of course.
