Bentley GTC

 Cars | Bentley GTC| The Bentley GTC has only been out for two years and a bit, but you might not know that; the car is so popular in some parts that it has become something like Ugg Boots for the monied-up automotive fashionista. Like its other Continental stablemates, Bentley has finally taken the drophead into their Speed garage for the transformation from really fast to “Egads!” fast.

It emerges from said garage with its twin-turbo W12 producing 553 lb-ft. of torque and 600 horsepower – 100 ponies more than the Azure T, making it the most powerful convertible Bentley has ever made. The Speed treatment alters the front end, with a more upright, dark-tinted matrix grille flanked by chrome bezels around the headlights, and the face is framed by firmer lines sweeping up from the lower air dam.

 
Bentley once again prove their superior craftsmanship and sense for both elegant and striking design lines with the recently unveiled limited-edition GTC Speed droptop. The distinctive presence is as characteristic for a Bentley as the power from the typical huge horse count. The classy dark paint and the sublimed 20-inch alloy wheels nearly lusts to be whiped by the 600-horsepower of the twin-turbo W12 engine which simply achieves the same output as the  GT Speed with a 4.3 second 0-60 mph sprint and a top speed of 203 mph as long as the cloth roof remains closed. A top-notch technology package accompanies the Bentley as a matter of course.


Bentley buyers can get aluminum dash panels, contrasting stitching on the seats and door panels, embossed seat surfaces, a four-spoke wood and leather steering wheel, front lambswool rugs, premium veneers, and an alloy fuel filler cap. A chrome and aluminum wind stop installs over the rear seats, and the Continental GTC includes an advanced rollover protection system that instantly pops two protective hoops up from behind the rear seat headrests.

2006 for the V6 powered Mustang


introduction last year of the all-new Ford Mustang. The best-selling and award winning 2005 Mustang showed GM that it made a mistake by discontinuing production of the Chevy Camaro. The 2005 Mustang V6 and V8 sales figures were over 190,000 units, and that equates to one of every two sports cars sold last year.

Ford says that 70% of Mustang sales were for the 210hpV6 powered edition, and 30% for the GT edition that comes with a more powerful 300hp V8 engine, a sport-tuned suspension, stronger brakes and bigger, 17in. wheels and tires. Styling differences between the two are slight as the GT gets two big fog lamps set between the Pony emblem inside the front grille, GT badges on the front fenders, and dual exhaust tips under the rear bumper.


To rev up even more sales in 2006 for the V6 powered Mustang, Ford presents the 'Pony Package' with more styling, performance and safety.



The package includes a customized grille with GT-style round fog lamps, and a chrome bezel or corral around the Mustang prancing horse. On the side of the fenders are special Pony badges, and a lower door tape stripe. The rear gets a spoiler mounted on top of the rear deck-lid to increase down-force.



Handling performance is increased with the addition of a larger front stabilizer bar, and the addition of a rear stabilizer bar. Taking advantage of the re-tuned suspension, the Pony package also includes bigger P235/55ZR17in.


These high-performance tires are wrapped by 17X8in. bright machined and painted, cast aluminum wheels with unique tri-bar Pony center caps. These are the largest wheels and tires ever fitted to the V6 powered Mustang. On the inside are carpeted front floor mats with special brushed chrome 'Mustang' logos.
The Pony package is priced at $1,195.00 and definitely worth the money because you get bolder styling, better performance and added safety on the road

Alfa Romeo 8C Car



Alfa Romeo 8C Red


 
Alfa Romeo 8C Silver



Nissan GT-R



This is the interior of the new twin-turbocharged V6 2009 [ Nissan GT-R ], a monster supercar, chicks-with-leather-and-attitude magnet and a wonder of engineering which we would probably only drive in the next Gran Turismo. Ironically, anyone who buys one starting tomorrow will be playing Gran Turismo too. All the time, in fact, since the multifunction display that is the star of its interior was designed with Polyphony Digital, the developers of the famous PlayStation GT games. And it shows, because it just looks awesome up close


According to Nissan, the multifunction display monitors everything from engine coolant temperature to steering angle and longitudinal and lateral G-Force, which in my case will read something between "Wimpy" and "Drivetard." The panel can also display data recorded from your races to the supermarket, telling you how effective your driving is. If you are interested in the whole car, you can see Jalopnik's video showing Nissan-Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn on Japanese television.

Nissan 350Z


 The | Nissan 350Z | is a two seat sports car manufactured by Nissan Motor Co, LTD. The 350Z is the fifth (and current) generation of Nissan's Z-car line, originally introduced in 1969 (as a 1970 model year) as the Datsun 240Z. The 350Z entered production in late 2002 and was sold and marketed as a 2003 model. It is currently available in several trim packages and is sold as both a coupĂ© and roadster. The 350Z is a front engine rear-wheel-drive two door sports car designed by Ajay Panchal of Nissan Design America.


The vehicle features the long-hood short-deck design common to the Z-Car family. Currently, external design highlights include: sloping fastback style roof line, unique brushed aluminum door handles, high waistline, and bulging fenders that are pushed out to the corners of the vehicle. Interior cabin design is straight forward with brushed aluminum accents. The main gauge pod is mounted directly to the steering column allowing their movement to coincide with steering wheel adjustments. Additional gauges are mounted in a centre triple gauge cluster. The 350Z’s interior does not have a conventional glove box, instead it makes use of various storage compartments located either behind or between the two seats.


The car is used in import events and drifting, where in the latter, some drivers have started to use them in the D1 Grand Prix and Formula D series. At the 2006 D1GP exhibition event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Tanner Foust became the first driver to score a perfect 100 points in a 350Z. In the non-Japanese domestic D1GP spinoff series, D1 Great Britain (D1GB), there are two Z33s that compete in the series. Of the 2007 season, both SVA Imports and Sumo Power 350Z currently competes in the EDC (European Drift Championship), which is run by a different organization to D1, and in Formula D, Foust took runner up spot at round 1 and at round 2, Chris Forsberg would score its maiden victory in his Roadster equipped with a VK56DE from a Nissan Titan. His win for the 350Z was followed up by Youichi Imamura's win during the Las Vegas round of the US D1GP series in his RB26DETT engined car. Foust would eventually take the Formula D title. The SVA Imports Z33 is significant for being the other drifting car other than the Team Orange Impreza to feature a rear radiators with air ventilation on both sides rather than just on one on the Impreza.

BMW M3


Auto Zone | Autocar compares a BMW M3 opposite a Audi RS5 | One of a many renouned automobile comparisons these days is a one between a BMW M3 Coupe and Audi’s latest RS5. According to Autocar, a Audi RS5 is somewhat quicker than a M3 and Audi’s best automobile after a R8. Here are a technical specs of a dual sporty coupes.

The M3 is powered by a S65B40 engine, a naturally aspirated, high revving 4-liter V8 (based on a S85B50 5-liter V10 that powers a E60/E61 M5 and a E63/E64 M6 to date) delivering 414 horsepower (309 kW; 420 PS) during 8,300 rpm and rise torque of 400 Nm (300 lb-ft) during 3,900 rpm.Based on a A5 coupe, RS5’s 4.2-liter V-8 creates 450 hp during 8250 rpm – coincidentally, about 30 horsepower over a 4.0L V8 of a M3 – and limit torque is 317 lb-ft, accessible between 4000 and 6000 rpm. The hand-built engine is direct-injected and closely associated to a 420-hp V-8 that powers a R8 supercar.



 Top speed is electronically governed during 155 mph or 174 mph, spec’d to your order. Zero to 62 mph is achieved in a claimed 4.6 seconds.

BMW 550i Gran Turismo 2010


Auto Zone | BMW 550i Gran Turismo 2010 | BMW seems to be on a query to emanate new automobile categories. The meant beast X6 is a sport-utility automobile for us, though not for a creator, that calls it a Sports Activity Coupe. With a attainment of a 5-Series Gran Turismo, BMW is holding another shot during producing a singular form of vehicle. It might be partial of a 5-Series family, though it’s indeed formed on a 7-Series’ platform. (Photo: Matthieu Lambert/Auto123.com)

Off a bat, we don’t cruise a Grand Touring automobile to be a five-door hatchback; a German brand’s 6-Series CoupĂ© is, for us, a loyal Grand Touring car. But anyway, let’s forget about a name and figure out if this 550i GT reinvents a wheel.It might be partial of a 5-Series family, though it’s indeed formed on a 7-Series’ platform, given it shares a 3,070-mm wheelbase. As for a 2011 5-Series sedan, it uses a condensed chronicle of that same architecture.

The rear-wheel expostulate 550i GT advantages from a twin-turbo, 4.4-litre V8 that develops 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. It’s bolted to a new 8-speed involuntary with primer mode. Nineteen-inch wheels with 245/45R19 tires adult front and 275/40R19 tires in behind are also partial of a deal, nonetheless 20-inch wheels with tires of a same breadth are partial of a Sport Package that’s enclosed on a exam chariot.


No doubt, with all that flesh underneath a hood, a Gran Turismo is quick: 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.7 seconds. Yet it isn’t as discerning as a 400-horse Porsche Panamera 4S we recently tested, and one reason for that is since it’s approach heavier. In fact, a 550i tips a beam during over 4,900 pounds, or about 800 some-more than a Porsche. It’s also heavier than a 750Li xDrive.

Our fuel expenditure normal of 13.7 L/100 km isn’t quite extraordinary, though it’s about what we expected, so no surprises here.

Though reduction renouned than a likewise sized Toyota Matrix, Volkswagen Golf and Nissan Versa, it but has one point that’s rather critical to many drivers opposite a country. Like a Subaru Impreza, it offers a definite advantages of all-wheel drive, quite appreciated in winter. The Suzuki SX4 hatchback is one of a few compress cars featuring all-wheel drive. (Photo: Matthieu Lambert/Auto123.com)In a box of a bestselling Suzuki in Canada, a AWD is discretionary in a way, as we can also squeeze a front-wheel expostulate SX4. The compress automobile also comes in a FWD, classical sedan chronicle (with trunk). The SX4 distinguishes itself in another approach as well. In 2010, a Japanese automaker motionless to reinstate a normal 4-speed involuntary transmission, discretionary until now, by a CVT. The pierce was done in a name of fuel efficiency.

FWD or AWD
The SX4 hatchback comes in 4 flavours: Base, JX, Aero and a high-end JLX. The three-mode i-AWD is charity usually on a JX (as an option) and JLX (standard).

The SX4’s profile, combined by Ital Design, hasn’t altered most given a vehicle’s introduction. All a better, as a superb lines are aging well.


The cabin, however, has jarred things adult a small for 2010. New dials have cropped adult behind a steering wheel, that boasts backlit controls for a stereo and journey control system. Note that a sloping steering circle still isn’t telescopic.

The seats have been lonesome in new, geometric-patterned fabric. The JLX is a usually various charity a comfort of exhilarated front seats.

The worldly stereo of a JLX and Aero versions now facilities a ninth shrill orator housed in a center of a dash. The atmosphere conditioner of both these variants has hereditary new digital controls, while chrome accents now support a doorway handles.
