chevrolet camaro Z28

We don’t care who you are; everyone has to love the Camaro Z28. This gorgeous piece of machinery looks and sounds like a dream and now Chevrolet has gone and made it even better. How much better, we don’t know yet, but luckily we have the artistic abilities of Jon Sibal on every car lover’s side. Sibal has prepared a rendering of the muscle car classic using all of the rumored characteristics the 2012 Camaro will most likely receive. Thanks to him, we are all getting a piece of drool-worthy treasure to gaze at.

The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 will feature a 6.2L LSA V8 engine, even though the Corvette ZR1’s 638 hp LS9 was cruising around the rumor mill for awhile. The awesome news regarding the new Camaro’s engine is that it will more than likely feature more than the 556hp found in the Cadillac CTS-V. Stooping power will come from the 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers.

New details of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 have surfaced recently as the hardcore version has been spotted again doing test runs. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is expected to hide under its Transformers skin a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster that will spit out around 550 hp. Some rumors say the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 could get even more extreme by having the same LS9 engine from the Corvette ZR1 which is good for 638 hp. The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is expected to offer a below 4 seconds acceleration time to 60 mph and a limited top speed of around 155 mph.

Luckily, in another sticker-related misstep, someone opened the door and revealed one of the most poorly placed communiqués we’ve ever seen: a tag on the dash that confirms that this is a Camaro Z28—a vehicle often rumored but not officially announced. Even better, the sticker reveals that this mule is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 backed up by a six-speed automatic transmission. Chances are very good that this is the Cadillac CTS-V’s LSA powerplant, which is rated there for 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque, as opposed to the higher-powered LS9 V-8 from the Corvette ZR1. 

mercedes-benz E63

Hailing from one of the GCC countries - Saudi Arabia to be exact - By Design Motorsport works with many different tuners to bring together an array of projects for everyone’s viewing and buying pleasure. We’ve already featured two Porsches, a 911 Turbo by Protomotive and a 997 TT Porschat Edition by BD Motor, but this next tuning project takes the trip from a different German company: Mercedes. By Design Motorsport (BD Motor) has just prepared a package for the Mercedes E63 AMG sedan that provides it with just a bit of aesthetic change.

Every experience we've had with Mercedes-Benz's new eighth-generation E-Class has been a positive one. From the near-stately luxury of the E350 and E550 sedans to the sporty thrills of the E-Coupe to the "ineffable joy"of the E-Cabrio, we've been big fans. Except we all seem to end our reviews saying something like this, "While there is no doubt that the [whichever E-Class] is a first rate automobile, we can't help but wonder what the AMG version would be like." Well friends, let me tell you.

t's like driving veal. No, the E63 AMG is smoother than that. It's like driving veal fat. Citroëns wish they had rides as glassy. Potholes, ruts, expansion joints (i.e. Interstate 5 near Downtown Los Angeles), it really doesn't matter what the road surface is like. The E63 wafts you over it in serene comfort. And should you (somehow) become uncomfortable, just switch on the massaging seat. The max setting is stellar. "Wait a second," you say, this is an AMG product. It's not supposed to be all soft and cushy. Well, I'm kind of pulling a fast one, because I'm talking about driving the E63 with all of the adjustable stuff turned off. This is also known as "Comfort" mode, and truer words have rarely been printed in an owner's manual.

Nissan Cub


The Nissan Cube had been sold in Japan since 1998, and it had developed a cult following over there, but Nissan waited until 2009 to bring the third-generation Cube to the U.S.

The Nissan Cube has an unusual, asymmetrical exterior with a side-swinging cargo door and a rear window that actually wraps around one of the sides, plus beveled window frames all around; inside it's just as odd, with a lot of rounded design cues and a flowing interior design that was modeled after Jacuzzi tubs.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices* (MSRP) for the 2011 Nissan cube include: Model/Transmission
cube 1.8 M/T $14,290 USD
cube 1.8 S M/T $15,650 USD
cube 1.8 S CVT $16,650 USD
cube 1.8 SL CVT $17,750 USD
cube 1.8 S Krom Edition CVT $21,190 USD

About the 2011 Nissan cube
The front-wheel drive cube is built on Nissan's proven B-platform and is offered with a standard 122-horsepower 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and a choice of Nissan's advanced, smooth shifting Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or 6-speed manual transmission.

Cube's roomy interior is designed as an inviting social space for up to five passengers, with comfortable front seating and a three-position sliding, reclining theater-style rear seat. Unique interior features include asymmetrical Fine Vision gauges, "Water Drop" interior accents and detachable multi-hooks. Available cube technology includes the Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription required, sold separately), RearView Monitor and Interface System for iPod.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Vantage 2 The Russian automotive beauty experts, TopCar, are taking yet another opportunity to remodel the new generation Porsche Cayenne by providing another package with exterior and interior updates. It is called the Vantage 2 and is basically the non-GTR version of the Vantage GTR2 provided by the same tuner.

For the exterior, the package adds a long list of carbon fiber elements, including a new front spoiler bumper, front fender extensions, and a new bonnet. More carbon can be found on the side skirts, rear spoiler, roof spoiler, rear fender wings, and diffuser with LED brake light strip. The package also includes a new set of wheels available in either 22" or 23" dimensions. The in

The Cayenne now wears a body kit that makes it more aggressive, with the list of exterior goodies including a front apron element, extensions for the front fenders, a new bonnet, side skirts, rear fender mods, a roof spoiler and a diffuser (the tuner has chosen to integrate the auxiliary LED brake light in the diffuser). All the aforementioned parts are made of carbon fiber and kevlar.
TOPCAR is ready to present the new aerodynamic body kit for the Porsche Cayenne Vantage GTR 2. The car is also elaborated in the vein of the off-road coupe using Porsche Cayenne 2 base.

In comparison with the original version the renovated Porsche gained the accipitral appearance and self-asserting nature. The whole fresh body shape forms with the front spoiler bumper obtaining menacing arrowy lines perfectly accompanied by the new bonnet, wide fenders and a rear spoiler bumper with a diffuser. The masterly implemented idea makes the car provide an impression of the infuriated beast of prey...

Ferrari FF

Ferrari melalui laman web rasminya telah mendedahkan tiga keping foto model terbaru mereka Ferrari FF yang akan membuat kemunculan rasmi di Geneva Motor Show 2011 Mac depan. Sesuai dengan gelaran FF (FF untuk Ferrari Four), jenama dengan logo kuda berdiri yang bernilai jutaan ringgit itu merupakan model pertama dengan sistem pacuan empat roda 4WD serta empat tempat duduk penumpang. Tiada lagi alasan untuk anda yang sebelum ini keberatan membeli Ferrari F430 Italia.. ;)...


Direka bentuk oleh Pininfarina, FF menampilkan teknologi 4WD pertama di dunia untuk kereta sport keluaran Ferrari, juga pertama didunia apabila model ini mempunyai empat tempat duduk penumpang. Tidak pernah meminggirkan kuasa dan prestasi, Ferrari FF dijana enjin V12 6,262 cc suntikan terus yang membekalkan 660 kuasa kuda dan 683Nm tork, dipadankan pula dengan kotak gear dual clutch F1. Kuasa yang terhasil mampu membuatkan FF memecut dari 0-100 km/j dalam tempoh masa 3.7 saat.


Ferrari FF turut membekalkan ruang interior yang selesa untuk penumpang, termasuk ruang bagasi seluas 450 liter dan boleh diubahsuai kepada 800 liter, cuma apa yang terkurang mungkin pintu penumpang masih lagi dua. Alangkah lebih baik jika model ini mempunyai empat pintu seperti Porsche Panamera. Nantikan persembahan ‘live’ Ferrari FF di Geneva Motor Show 2011, sebelum itu saksikan dulu tiga keping foto diambil oleh Giovanni Gastel....
