Alonso and his team are planning to build just three cars, each at a cost of $150,000, at a the painstaking slow rate of just one every eight months and plans to promote them to possible buyers in cities like Dubai, New York and Moscow. The car is styled after the original Bentley S3 from the 1960s and includes the same... Full article...

Unfortunately for displacement-heads, that’s not the case. Still, the motor shared with the G35 sedan provides plenty of power for daily duties. Easing 303hp from its 3.5L V6, the FX35 comes up only 87hp short of its 5.0L V8 brother. Both come standard with seven-speed automatic that can optionally be... Full article...

Audi’s R8 looks to be getting a V8 TDI motor soon, and the Jetta TDI Cup in the U.S. is helping to bring diesels back into the American public’s consciousness, albeit slowly. German performance tuner Abt has already done most of VW’s lineup, but now it’s turning attention to the latest Touareg 3.0 TDI. Focusing on power upgrades and appearance modifications, the Abt...

Demand for the car worldwide has surged, no doubt spurred on with the help of the car’s starring role as KITT in the new Knight Rider series, so this time 175 cars will be headed outside of the U.S. Like the current 40th anniversary limited edition, the 2009 Shelby GT500KR will feature the same 540hp 5.4L...

Just yesterday, we quoted Bob Lutz as suggesting that the Camaro could get a four-cylinder engine option. Now we hear that Mark LaNeve, VP of sales and marketing for GM North America, says that, "We won't position it as a muscle car," speaking again of the 2010 Camaro. Sure, you could spend hours debating the terms "muscle car" and "pony car", but we're pretty sure that very few ever thought of the Camaro as a fuel-efficient option. But, that's... Full article...

The all-new 2009 FX50 will not share the showroom floor with a rumored "FX37." Instead, Infiniti has chosen to keep the less-powerful sibling designated as the "FX35." That means the engine is the award-winning VQ35HR right out of the Infiniti G35 sedan -- not the sweet 3.7-liter 330-hp gem from the G37 Coupe. Under the hood of the FX, the slightly smaller six-cylinder is rated at 303 hp down just a few horses from the sedan's... Full article...

This is what happens when you dream up an idea that combines a vintage Bentley S3's coachwork and chassis with a 300-horsepower BMW 4.4L V8, a ZF 5-speed auto, a custom dual exhaust, and a deluxe interior with all the modern amenities. Tweak the look to give it the feel of a late-model Bentley, add 20-inch forged wheels, slam it to the ground and you have Arturo Alonso's Bentley S3 E design concept... Full article...

The merger has been in the works since last February, and now that the government’s antitrust division has given the all-clear, the final hurdle is the FCC. Initial rumors about the deal popped up in mid-2006, with both companies’ CEOs admitting it would be necessary to combat the growing competition from conventional radio, online radio and downloaded music. End-users should see the benefit in... Full article...

However, the one attribute considered above all else by consumers according to a new study conducted by America’s AAA is a car’s fuel-economy. The results show that a majority of consumers, in the U.S. at least, are not buying cars based mostly on emotional decisions such as looks and brand, but rather financial reasons in order to...

We suspect the diminutive hatch won’t be 007’s primary mode of transport. Instead we envisage it being used in a similar fashion to the Ford Mondeo’s appearance in Casino Royale, a hire car Bond used to travel from an airport. You can catch a glimpse of the 2009 Ka right now in... Full article... Article added: 2008-03-25 07:30:59 Article Views Rating: 11100 |
