2014 Nissan GT-R

2012-01-16T20:51:00.000-08:00

Nissan will be producing a new-generation GT-R only five years after introducing the original, and that we’re going to make it a hybrid, are totally unfounded. GT-R the car’s future will be decided in three years, and we are now entering that third year.

As cited from Road and Track that “These reports that say we’re planning on producing a new-generation GT-R only five years after introducing the original, and that we’re going to make it a hybrid, are totally unfounded. I said when we introduced the GT-R that the car’s future will be decided in three years, and we are now entering that third year. Therefore, we’ve been too busy making sure that this GT-R makes a positive mark on the world to think about the next car,”

For the interior, say goodbye to steering wheel as Honda replaces the conventional steering wheel with two joysticks. The aquamarine blue light theme provides bright and futuristic atmosphere inside this green vehicle. What we love the most about Honda Micro Commuter concept is the compatibility to load Motor Compo, a two-wheel electric scooter, in the space between the driver’s seat and the side door. Thank you to a great collaboration between Honda’s motorcycle and automobile R&D centers. The detachable battery of this compact scooter can also be used as a power-source for USB-powered gadget.

Future of Hybrid Cars

2012-01-16T20:41:00.000-08:00

There are many design concepts being considered for maximum public exposure and benefits on the drawing board of car designers today that look to the future hybrid car needs and considerations that will serve the public well in the course of the next century. Many of these hybrid car designers are taking past and proven sales performers and have begun reworking their designs from the ground up.

Instead of a front wheel drive platform, there are automobile designers that are building on a rear platform design for one of the nation's best selling and widely recognized car frames in America and worldwide. The hybrid car designs of the future are including sports car models that have been all-time favorites with the world in the past and are now being revived with the brand new hybrid engine in mind.

There is an aggressive training program in place at one of Americas largest car manufacturing companies that is preparing their technicians to repair the growing styles and variations of hybrid cars that are emerging onto the automobile market.

With the extreme difference in battery features and dramatic variance in voltage levels, there is a void that needs to be filled by someone who is equipped with the necessary battery cabling devices that can handle 270 volts instead of the normal 12 volt battery systems. Regular car technicians are typically capable of handling battery recharging requirements, but with the futuristic applications that are applied in hybrid battery design, the best service these car technicians can provide at present is that they can still provide oil changes and tire rotations should the need arise.

With a mindset of grasping and expanding the propulsion features that are somewhat limited in today's hybrid car designs, there are retro styling efforts that are focusing on providing hybrid cars with optional V8 engine capacities.

There are considerations in place to use solar cells in the framework of hybrid automobiles. The electrical power will be produced through the boot lids and bonnet placement of these solar cell modules. Through the use of solar cells it will then be possible to utilize the battery charging capabilities when the car is not turned on or in motion to replenish batteries that have been depleted through the use of air conditioning or through continuous operation when the hybrid automobile is delayed in traffic jams at different times of the day. This lightweight body structure design would benefit the energy savings to the consumer and make the car more manageable on the highway.

There is an effort in hybrid car design that is turning the out of the ordinary hybrid vehicle into a replica of what is parked in the driveway every day of our life. This blending in effect is meant to bring the hybrid full circle into the acceptable graces of the American public.

The future hybrid car will need to focus more on greenhouse gases that negatively effect the environment as well as a hybrid car that will be even more fuel efficient. Without these changes, the production and sales of any type of vehicle will not be possible due to the degradation of our atmosphere.

There are many views about hybrid cars in the futures that will change its fuel source from the heavy duty batteries in use today, to hydrogen-power fuel cell. This will take away the need for hybrid cars to have to use gasoline completely in order to transverse down the major highways.

Can the 2011 Dodge Caravan Impress the Judges?

2011-10-20T03:41:00.000-07:00

Can the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan impress the judges? At first glance the Grand Caravan for 2011 may look like another plain-Jane minivan-style family conveyance. However, it is not only auto show judges but, more importantly, customers from all walks of life who are duly impressed as soon as they take a closer look at this reliable, yet comfortable and powerful, mini-van.

It was the first Dodge Caravan that created the entire mini-van concept back in the 1984 model year. Today, with the sweeping changes and updates that Dodge has implemented for the 2011 model, the Caravan has come full circle as it re-establishes itself as the most valuable player of the mini-van league.

The main improvement is to be found inside the roomy cabin, where "Stow 'n Go" seating modifications allow drivers to easily convert the same vehicle they use to transport their children to soccer practice into a tough hauling and transport van that can easily be filled with lumber and cement for a do-it-yourself home remodeling project, or sports and camping gear for an extended vacation or nature excursion. That is not the only interior improvement, though, as the 2011 model of the Grand Caravan also boasts a new design that is flawlessly executed with higher quality materials.

Dodge has also updated the basic engine for the new Grand Caravan, replacing an older, less efficient engine with the highly acclaimed and powerful 283-horsepower Pentastar V6 that also powers its sports cars and SUV models. This engine delivers very respectable fuel mileage, and combined with a six-speed automatic transmission, it makes the Grand Caravan the quickest and highest performing of any minivan model available in the United States for the 2011 model year. Torque steering adds to the performance and versatility of the new Caravan.

Of course, a mini-van is first and foremost a family vehicle for which safety is a paramount consideration, and the Dodge Grand Caravan is a leader in that realm as well. With active front head restraints, and a full set of airbags including driver knee airbags as well as side curtain and front seat side airbags, the Grand Caravan provides ample protection in the event of a crash. Antilock disc brakes are standard as are stability and traction control, with safety-oriented options including rear parking and cross-traffic sensors, a rearview camera and a blind spot monitoring system.

Price is another factor that makes the Dodge Caravan quite impressive, as it is the minivan that provides the best set of options for its base price of just under $30,000. It is available in five trim packages, from the stripped-down commercially oriented C/V and entry-level Express through the Mainstreet and Crew and up to the luxurious R/T that adds both higher performance and top-class interior amenities to the Grand Caravan package.

At first glance, the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan may just look like another mini-van. However, a close look at the redesigned exterior, and a test drive that showcases everything it has to offer, presents a very impressive picture indeed.

Mercedes - Automotive Heritage for the Masses

2011-10-20T03:33:00.001-07:00

In the 1960's Mercedes was aligned with German luxury. Their sports cars were exotic and their large models combined comfortable transport with a certain cache. The Gullwing Mercedes was particularly esoteric. Owning a Mercedes Benz was once the privilege of the famous and the wealthy.

With the advent of the Ford Sierra/Mondeo sized Mercedes 190 in 1985, Mercedes Benz ownership became more accessible. Granted, the three pointed star will never be synonymous with cheaper brands, but owning a Mercedes is no longer as expensive; neither is it as pricey to maintain as other luxury barges.

Mercedes have steadfastly branded their classes of vehicle according to the alphabet for many years. The A class is the smallest of the hatchbacks and the S class the largest of the saloons, with the Ford Mondeo sized C class, and the Range Rover competitor M and G classes residing somewhere in the middle amongst the B E and R classes.

The current S class is a technological marvel, loved by ambassadors embassie sand royalty around the world and always has been in previous incarnations. Famed also for its tank like construction, unfortunately the leviathan that was the 1991 - 1998 S Class was unable to save the life of royalty when it crashed at high speed in a Paris tunnel.

The baby Mercedes A class came along in 1998 and admittedly received mixed reviews, failing the now infamous Elk test (this is where Swedish car testers made cars swerve abruptly at 65 mph) Unfortunately the tall baby Merc toppled over! The problem with the car's electronics is obviously is now fixed. However in general terms this economical car opened up Mercedes ownership to a new group of people and made the marque more affordable to a wider clientele.

Mercedes has a reputation for innovation with inventions such as the Electronic Stability Programme, pre tensioners and curtain airbags. Most rear wheel drive cars, including Mercedes will punish you if you turn a corner too fast in the wet. I was in the supermarket car park in my Mercedes and the car almost pirouretted during a rainy morning. Thankfully the ESP did its thing and the car twitched briefly like an electrocuted eel before it retained its composure.

However many of the models, such as the 2000- 2007 C Class, retained the quirky foot applied parking brake and the dash mounted release handle for it. The company is also known for a fantastic range of diesels as well as some blisteringly fast V6 ands V8's. The AMG sport range of Mercedes cars melt tarmac.

Some say that Mercedes has declined in quality but that has not put off millions who own the marque throughout the world. The German car giant will always be associated with quality engineering, comfort and reliability.

2011 Ferrari 458 Italia Berlinetta (Coupe) Overview

2011-10-20T03:31:00.000-07:00

People usually do not think that Ferrari can improve on their cars because they're already considered perfect and cutting edge, but at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, Ferrari had no trouble proving the world that they can still make a more perfect car than before. They did that with the introduction of the 458 Italia. The 458 Italia was announced as the official replacement for the Ferrari F430, which was produced from 2005 to 2009.

The Ferrari 458 Italia is a current production model for Ferrari from 2009 and is considered one of the best looking Ferrari's that is also capable of challenging the Enzo around the track. As of 2011, a replacement for the 458 Italia has not yet been announced. The 458 Italia comes in four known variants: the 458 Italia Berlinetta (coupe), 458 Italia Spider, 458 Challenge and the 458 GTC (Grand Touring Challenge).

Although the 458 was announced as a replacement for the outgoing F430 model, it was actually based on an entirely different design that was driven by Ferrari's learning experiences from Formula 1 rather than the F430. The 458 was designed by Pininfarina. There have been unconfirmed reports that the inspiration for the design was drawn from the Ferrari Enzo and was designed to be Ferrari's best V8 car, significantly distinguishing itself from the current Ferrari California model. Although it would be hard to notice, the design was actually driven heavily by the aerodynamic capabilities and efficiencies.

The car itself doesn't look like it was engineered to produce a certain amount of drag, rather it looks like it was designed with passion and fury in mind with the end result being extremely aerodynamic. Michael Schumacher, Ferrari's former Formula 1 driver also provided input on the 458's design from things such as the steering wheel to the dashboard layout of the interior. A few key notable details of the 458 distinguish it from a number of other Ferraris, such as the triple tailpipes - last seen on the F40, and the five-spoke rims that emphasize the 15.7 inch carbon ceramic Brembo brakes.

The Ferrari 458 Italia features a 4.5 liter V8 engine that produces 562 horsepower at 9000 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6000 rpm. Despite the low peak torque, Ferrari claims that the Italia has access to 80% of the torque band below 3250 rpm. The 458's engine is only approximately 3% larger by 150cc than the F430's 4,300cc engine but displaces 16% more horsepower and torque. A tremendous increase can be attributed to a new direct injection engine design that Ferrari created in collaboration with Maserati, a first for mid-rear Ferrari engine setups. The 4.5 liter V8 gets the Italia from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds and a top speed over 202 mph. That is 0.6 seconds faster than the F430, 1.1 seconds faster than the 360, 0.4 seconds faster than the F40 and only 0.3 seconds slower than the Ferrari Enzo. The Italia is Ferrari's fourth road-car to receive the Getrag dual-clutch 7-speed transmission. It shares the same technology with the Enzo, 360 Challenge Stradale and the F430 Scuderia. The Italia is the first common production car that will not be offered with a traditional manual transmission.

The Ferrari 458 Italia has impressed Ferrari fans since the initial announcement was made in 2009. The Italia has impressive performance figures and has made a strong statement about perfection that will be hard to top, but then again, we are talking about Ferrari here. You can expect to see the Ferrari Italia 458 Berlinetta (Coupe) sell at a MSRP ranged between $225,000 and $250,000 depending on the options. The 458 Spider is expected to sell around $257,000 MSRP. A used 458 Italia rarely sells below $270,000 due to the low availability of the car.

Audi A2: Concept Car of the Future

2011-10-20T03:28:00.000-07:00

With an elegant, sporty, and sophisticated look, the Audi A2 Concept says a great deal about automotive innovation even with just a single glance. It has a detailed exterior that speaks much of its functionality and high level of quality that modern car users look for in conventional cars. Even in its stationary status, one can easily tell that this is no ordinary car. Its overall look creates an impression of high- level automotive efficiency that topples down most conventional cars in every aspect of the unit.

Engine and Power

Another innovative feature is the electric-only powertrain. The development of electric mobility in the current automotive industry is seen to influence much the future of the whole car mobility technology. Electric mobility, in itself, presents its own set of advantages and disadvantages; especially when compared to conventional car engines. However, the overall performance is noiseless, smoother, and carries enough power for a satisfying drive. Moreover, this electric- only power source make the car environmental- friendly.

Exterior

The power and elegance of this concept car can easily be spotted at first glance. With a high- level of elegance, this concept car manages to combine simplicity and grandeur. It has a clean appearance and a neat finish intensified by its dark glass roof. The most noticeable feature in this concept car is its matrix beam, using the next step in LED technology. This produces a high- resolution but non- glaring high beam light. The exterior lightings of the A2 concept are amazing, as it adapts to the visibility conditions of the environment. The intelligent tail light become more visible as visibility drops, while the rear fog light powered by laser diodes does not only serve as a fog light but also projects a red triangle that serves as road warning.

Aside from the superb beam lighting feature, this vehicle sports a chic appearance. It only measures 3.80 meters long, 1.69 meters wide and 1.49 meters high.

Interior

The inside of the vehicle compliments its exterior nicely. It has a flat interior floorboard, and a center console connected to the driver's seat. The front part has enough space to allow sufficient mobility while inside the car with extra spaces under the cushion seats. The four seats add lightness, instead of crowding up inside the car. Even the colors and materials used in the car's interior showcase functionality and lightness, making long drives a lot more comfortable.

Clifford Concept 650 MK2 - Superior Car Security

2011-10-20T03:25:00.001-07:00

For outstanding car security, the Clifford Concept 650 Mk2 is all you need. It features a multifunction remote control, allowing the system to be controlled and adjusted from the palm of your hand. Silent arm and disarm, auxiliary output control, and sensor manipulation are all possible from the remote. Add to this anti-code grabbing technology and remote battery low alerts, and the result is a superb quality vehicle security system.

Clifford Car Alarm

The 650 Mk2 Clifford car alarm comes with two distinctive five button remotes. The first four buttons feature:

   1. Arm / Disarm
   2. Auxiliary output A - usually boot release
   3. Star button - remote start the engine if fitted
   4. Double star button - silent arm/disarm

Button one is self-explanatory, however if the system is wired up to the car's central locking system then this switch will also lock and unlock the car doors remotely. Button two is usually connected to the car boot release, if it is fitted with a motor and therefore capable. The star button activates engine remote start, if an extra remote start module is fitted. Button four can be used instead of button one for a silent arm and disarm function.

The remote control also features a fifth, and very distinctive Clifford "G5" button. When this button is used in combination with the first four buttons an extra set of functions are achieved. For example pressing G5 once followed by button two will activate Clifford SmartWindows if fitted. Pressing the G5 button twice gives another set of control functions including the ability to disable sensors and enter valet mode.

Clifford Sensor Adjustment from Remote Control

Unlike other alarm brands the Clifford 650 MkII has the ability to adjust sensors from the remote control. This means the proximity and warn-away sensors can be turned up or down by remote button combinations, and may be necessary to suit different customer needs or situations.

Remote sensor adjustment is activated by pressing the G5 button three times, followed by the single star button for proximity sensor fine tuning. To then adjust the warn-away sensor, the double star button is pressed. Sensitivity is increased by pressing button two and decreased by pressing button three in either mode.

Pressing button one will exit warn-away adjustment, and pressing button one again will exit sensor adjustment mode from the remote.

High Quality Vehicle Security

Clifford alarms are all round high quality vehicle security systems. For example all G5 remote devices feature Anti-Code Grabbing technology (ACG2) resulting in the generation of a random code encryption each time the remote transmitter is used.

Another quality feature is the remote low battery alert. With all these advanced functions available from the remote, it is easy to run down the cell battery. When this happens a low-pitched tone is heard on disarming the car alarm system.

Since the start date of the new F30 series three approaches, more details will start to operate on the web and in magazines. It will not be too terribly long before we began to study first driving impressions and begin to hear the complaint of the world fanboix above to choose every aspect of one or more of the new 3er to complain.

2012 bmw 3 series

What BMW BLOG expects the new 2012 BMW 3 F30 collection is based on what we can discern the press releases, our understanding of BMW "platform matrix", and seeking to advance in March Efficient Dynamics. As we wrote earlier, the latest X3 is usually a good place to look for new ideas for the 3rd.

Collection 3 is the source of revenue for BMW, then look no exaggerated style due to the 3rd actually has to use a very large market in North America, unlike the first example. Wait in the car shown to reflect the style idioms built inside the 7er and 5er. The wheelbase is stretched a bit, probably 3 inches or less, while the total length of the vehicle must be less than 180 centimeters. The style should be crisp, with a minimum of redundant lines, but with subtle details that are exposed to light and shadow.

Honda Crossroad

2011-10-10T17:40:00.000-07:00

Honda Crossroad

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. announced the release of the new Crossroad, an automobile which transcends existing categories by combining the design and functionality of an SUV with the convenient size of a compact car and the 3-row seating and 7-passenger capacity of a minivan. The new Crossroad will go on sale throughout Japan on Friday, February 23.

The Crossroad was designed as an "active life navigator"-a car that helps people enjoy their active new lifestyles, unbound by conventional thinking.

The square motif of the exterior design conveys a feeling of solid presence and strength, while areas around the center pillars and windows are deeply beveled to achieve a sturdy, robust look.

The interior design features sculpted molding around the instrument panel to achieve a fun, confident feel. The square motif is continued throughout the interior, creating a refined, urban tone.

With its innovative packaging, the Crossroad offers a confident presence and versatile 3-row seating, yet is a breeze to handle around town thanks to an overall length of just 4,285mm. And the distinctive angular design around the front headlights gives the Crossroad an effective minimum turning radius1 at the top of its class2.

The Crossroad comes equipped with either a 1.8-liter or a 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine that combines responsive low-to-mid-speed driving performance with outstanding fuel economy. The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission to deliver nimble performance. The 4-wheel-drive model is also equipped with Hill-Start Assist function, which temporarily maintains brake pressure after the brake pedal is released when starting on a hill to ensure smoother starts and enhanced ease of use.

Packaging

The refreshing, smart packaging creates a versatile space inside a convenient body size.

Versatile 3-row seating offers plenty of convenience yet the overall length of 4,285mm makes it a breeze to handle around town.

The Crossroad's effective minimum turning radius of 5.6 meters3 puts it at the top of its class4.

The rear doors feature a wide opening angle of around 80ï, making it easier for passengers in the second- and third-row seats to get in and out.

The seating can be set in a variety of arrangements with easy operation. The second-row seats tilt and slide forward with the pull of a lever located on the shoulder of the second-row seatback, making it easier for passengers in the third-row seats to get in and out.

The Crossroad is equipped with an emergency puncture repair kit, replacing the spare tire and securing more space for third-row passengers while helping to make the vehicle lighter.

Advanced features and safety performance

The IHCC (Intelligent Highway Cruise Control)8 vehicle speed and distance control system helps reduce the burden on the driver during freeway driving.

The Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS)8 provides audio and visual warnings and braking to alert the driver and to help avoid a rear-end collision or mitigate damage and injuries in the event that one should occur.

Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body enhances passenger protection while mitigating impact on the other vehicle.

The vehicle is also designed to mitigate pedestrian injury in the event of a collision.

The rear frame features a large cross-section along with two internal impact-absorbing frames. The frames have a polygonal cross-section to enable them to effectively absorb the shock of a rear-end collision.

chevrolet orlando

chevrolet orlando

Chevrolet Orlando is a car that is produced from the State of South Korea. Although including a new car, but this car has a special characteristic with the old Chevrolet car. Only for this car is a car Chevrolet Orlando from the incorporation of an SUV with a station wagon. This car has a shape that looks sporty appearance and is very strong. Chevrolet just unveiled the Orlando at the Paris Motor Show last week, and it is one of the cars debuted that looks like it could have a future here in Thailand.The Orlando is a 7-seat people mover, crossover, SUV, small 4-wheel drive with no aspirations for off-roading type car. It's actually very similar both in form and function to the Honda Crossroad.
Small Image

Honda don't sell the Crossroad in Thailand because it would compete somewhat with the CR-V. Honda also had a poor run of it with the 7-seat Stream, that eventually bowed out of the Thai market when the Wish clobbered it in what was already quite a small segment of the market.

Back to Chevrolet, and the Orlando, the situation is a little bit different. Chevrolet are enjoying a relatively successful run of it in Thailand.

The Chevrolet brand has a very good image in Thailand, where many Thais I've spoken to seem to believe that American cars are stronger than their Asian counterparts. Whether this reputation is founded or not is another issue, especially considering that the Aveo, Optra and Captiva all have Korean origins, and the Colorado is little more than a re-boxed and badged Isuzu D-Max.

But Chevrolet is doing okay in Thailand. Based on sales volume they are ahead of long-established rivals including Mazda, Mitsubishi and Nissan.

So for Chevrolet Thailand, there might be a bullish feeling that adding a new model to the line might be worth a try. Although the Orlando could possibly step on the toes of the Captiva somewhat, it also has the potential of outshining the Captiva altogether.

Should Chevrolet choose to replace the Optra with the Cruze next year, then the Orlando is even more possible since it is based on the same platform as the Cruze.

Additionally, it is possible that Chevrolet may wish to use Thailand as the production hub for the vehicle, and export to other Asian markets. However, they also have Korea as an option for this, as it has already been confirmed that the Cruze will be produced there.
Engines

Assuming that it is produced here, it is likely that the engine line up will be the same as the Cruze. Possibly up-rated 1.6 and 1.8 litre petrol units like the current Optra.

The engine that I would love to see in the Orlando is the 2.0 litre 150 hp unit from the Captiva, and this is one of the units slated for inclusion in the high end Orlando, but Thai punters could be some way from embracing the diesel in this type of vehicle.
Drive

Chevrolet has a new 6-speed automatic that it is likely to pair up with the new Cruze, but it has yet to be seen if that will make it to Thailand. This would be a really impressive feature in a car in this segment, and if the Cruze gets it, the Orlando will also.

Initially the Orlando will be front-wheel drive, with 4-wheel drive models to be introduced later on. In Thailand, the front-wheel drive variant would be sufficient, and it would allow Chevrolet to put some additional distance between the Captiva and Orlando.

Koenigsegg CCX Cars Wallpaper

2011-10-10T04:12:00.000-07:00

The Koenigsegg CCX combines raw power with an attractive style that makes it perfect for a Sunday drive down the coast or a quick race at the track. This Swedish supercar is a sight to behold if you're a fan of sports vehicles. The body itself is enough to induce a purchase from many.

The two-door car has a sleek and stylish body that looks more like a fighter jet than a conventional car. The removable top is able to be stored under the trunk, so changing on the go isn't a problem. The carbon-fiber construction also adds a lightweight durability to the body. Similar to Lamborghini, the actuation doors add another stylish and convenient touch to the exterior.

Koenigsegg released their CCX (Competition Coupe X) in 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. Another model was also released, the CCXR, that ran on bio fuel, making it very eco-friendly, but the original model is the one that's stuck in the hearts and minds of sports car enthusiasts everywhere. After this lightweight, powerful roadster with a wide wheelbase and picturesque body arrived at the show, it was clear Koenigsegg had developed a real contender.

The CCX's engine isn't as large as some of its competitors, but the size doesn't matter nearly as much as most people think. Even still, the 4.7 liter V8 with dual overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder is nothing to sneeze at. The engine is comprised of aluminum alloy, making it stronger, thinner and lighter than other engines - and with 806 bhp, it's more powerful than some larger engines. The CCX can reach 0 to 60 in 3.2 and is rumored to achieve speeds of up to 259mph.

2011 Mazda 3 MPS

2011-10-10T04:05:00.000-07:00

One main concern for many consumers is the cost of costly car repairs. If one thing goes amiss that could end up costing a pretty penny. However, Mazda has taken care of that by providing owners with a warranty program. Cars receive a three year or 36,000 mile warranty and a five year or 60,000 mile warranty for the powertrain. An extensive warranty like this is a plus during tough economic times; extensive car repairs can make a serious dent in a budget plan. The issue of safety has been thoroughly addressed by Mazda with the inclusion of a comprehensive air bag system, traction control, dynamic stability control plus seat belts that automatically adjust to the passenger's height. The 2011 Mazda four door and five door vehicles receive a total score of four out of five stars during government crash testing.

There are many options to choose from if you are interested in buying an affordable compact car. The Mazda3 is definitely a choice to keep in mind since it is easy on the wallet, offers sweet features plus it comes with a state of the art suspension system for a fun and sporty drive. The 2011 model is competitively priced around fifteen thousand dollars.

Latest in Luxury Cars in 2012

2011-10-10T03:55:00.000-07:00

It is believed that a car is an extension of one's self. The rich and the famous take this belief to heart and so they purchase premium vehicles, which make them the envy of the common man. The meaning of luxury cars varies depending on whose point of view is being considered. For the masses, anything beyond their price threshold for a car is considered a luxury car. To the privileged few, it's about the brand.

There are car brands that conjure up images of sports cars zooming around a racing circuit burning rubber, while other brands are much more connected to royalty and the ruling class. Automobile manufacturers like BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Mercedes Benz have car models that specifically target wealthy individuals. The pricing scheme is rather oppressive, but such is the appeal of prestige cars, at least to the insanely rich.

The Porsche Cayman

2011-10-09T06:47:00.000-07:00

To many sports-car enthusiasts, the Porsche Cayman has been viewed as a mid-market, version of the Boxster. Yet upon closer inspection, the Porsche Cayman is clearly a "real driver's" car that has exceeded the expectations of many who thought it was simply a "stop gap" for those who couldn't afford the 911.

For those of you who are looking for a cheaper alternative to the Carrera, the Cayman is a smart place to begin. Offering you upgraded engine performance over the Boxster, the Cayman's all-round driveability simply cannot be beaten.

It has even been claimed that the Porsche Cayman "S" version actually outweighs the base model Carrera 3.6 in all areas!

The Cayman was born

To some, the Cayman is simply a Porsche Boxster with a slightly more convenient hard-top. This is simply not the case.

Although the Porsche Cayman shares the same mid-engine arrangement as the Gen 2 Boxter, in 2006 the engine head was replaced with the 3.6 litre head from the Carrera, allowing the use of the Vario-Cam system, also seen in the 911. The engine itself has had an upgrade from a 3.2 litre, to a new, more powerful version displaced at 3.4 litres.

On first glance.

The body of the Cayman is very similar to the Boxster, with an obvious difference being the hard-top roof. The Cayman also borrowed body parts such as the doors, fenders and trunk lid from the Boxster. The dash is also identical. But as the saying goes, "never judge a book by its cover", this could not be more applicable when talking about the Porsche Cayman.

Let's take a look at the set-up.

With the Cayman now having a hard-top roof, this gave the engineers the option to stiffen the suspension system for better road handling. With that in mind, the engine now boasts another 15 more horsepower than the Boxster S, with the manual version giving speeds of 0-62 in just 5.4 seconds. These factors have greatly increased the overall performance of the Cayman that has an engine output of 295 horsepower, with torque reaching 251lb at 6,250 rpm. With the Boxster reaching a top speed of 167mph, the Cayman takes you to its limit at 171mph.

Another feature that makes the Cayman a huge improvement over the Boxster is its rigidity. Lower springs and strut-stop springs, coupled with larger roll bars gives an overall rigidity increase of 150% over the Boxster S. The Cayman also comes with an active spoiler for extra-down force. This spoiler will activate at speeds of 75 miles and over.

Cayman sales

In the first year of production, Cayman sales actually accounted for 40-50% percent of all of Porches sales, showing the Cayman to be a clear success.

Something extra?

The Cayman offers a huge range of options for your car. Starting with up-grades, you can find yourself spending extra money on things such as sport seats or rear-parking sensors.

19 inch wheel up-grades are also available for you to purchase.

If you like to keep yourself at a constant temperature, you can opt for heated or cooled seats.

Ceramic non-fade brakes are now on the options list.

The navigation system, which actively (and accurately) shows you where the traffic jams are, is a popular option for many.

The P.A.S.M, which stands for Porsche Active Suspension management is an option that gives you a sport setting complete with active dampers.

Both interior and exterior options are also available.

Finally, a Porsche Chrono package, which allows you to change control functions and even gives you a lap-timer.

With all of these options in mind, you should also compare the luggage space that the Cayman gives over the Boxster. The Cayman offers both a front storage compartment and a trunk at the rear. All in all, the Cayman will allow an overall storage space of 560 litres, with a 410 litre trunk and front storage space of 150 litres. Considering this, the Cayman is one of those rare sports cars that combine both performance and practicality.

Extra modifications on the current Cayman include LED front lights that give the car a more aggressive and up-to-date look.

The PDK double clutch 7 speed semi automatic gearbox now replaces the older tip-tronic gearbox, giving a better driver experience at both low and high speeds.

The Cayman limited edition models

Porsche offer two limited edition Cayman's. Firstly the Cayman Porsche design edition 1 that was manufactured in 2007. With the only color being black, the design edition 1 was built with Porsche time pieces being the inspiration behind the design. The interior consists of dark colors and only 777 were built, making this a rare car indeed. The 19 inch wheels are also in black and are borrowed from the 911 turbo complete with bigger brakes.

In 2009 the Cayman S "Sport" was released. This car is offered in six individual non-metallic colors and includes limited edition, 19 inch wheels. The engine has also been tuned to an impressive 303 B.H.P, making this a very attractive purchase to the Porsche enthusiast.

2012 ferrari 458 spider

2011-10-07T20:48:00.000-07:00

2012 ferrari 458 spider

The Ferrari 458 Italia is the best car I have ever driven. You might assume the Italian supercar earns that distinction on sheer performance and sex appeal, but the truth is that the 458 is a much more complete car. Its excellence is in how it combines measured balance with raw capability unlike any other vehicle. The 458 Italia is sophisticated but visceral. Aggressive yet refined. Elegant and brutish. With the Spider, Ferrari aims to add one more contradiction to the 458's achievements: a convertible that's also a coupe.

Ferrari's task in building a Spider is not quite as intuitive as it sounds. The open-air 458 is certainly a predictable and modest evolution of the Italia, but the buyers of the two cars are very different. The average 458 Italia will see most of its action on the weekend, without a passenger, and on shorter trips. Spiders, on the other hand, are more likely to be daily drivers exposed to city streets, often with a passenger in the right seat. More notably, Ferrari asserts that Spider owners drive with a sporty -- not aggressive -- style.

Even with buyers using their cars in an entirely different manner, Ferrari won't compromise any of the intensity in its mid-engine coupe to deliver a droptop version. Despite the fact that the Spider is 30 percent less rigid than the coupe, the spring rates are unchanged. And while the magnetorheological dampers are specifically tuned for the Spider, you won't notice a difference in the ride quality between the two cars. The Spider is every bit as firm, controlled, and focused as the Italia. The steering is just as sharp, the throttle pedal just as responsive, and the suspension just as poised. Twist the manettino to Race mode, however -- perhaps an unlikely move for the less aggressive convertible buyers -- and the Spider can't hide the fact that it's missing a major structural component. With the dampers firmed up, the bumps aren't just felt through the seat. They're seen in a small wiggle of the windshield and heard in the muted rattle of the aluminum chassis. Nothing unusual, but this is the one clear difference between coupe and convertible.

The 458 Spider's retractable roof is a two-piece hardtop inspired by the 575 Superamerica. Like that car, the roof rotates -- rather than folds -- into its stored position. Unlike that car, the 458 Spider uses an aluminum skin instead of glass. Ferrari claims that the 458's hardtop assembly is actually some 55 pounds lighter than the 430 Spider's fabric roof. It adds roughly 110 pounds to the Italia's 3400-pound curb weight.
