Ford Shelby GT500



The Shelby GT500 was the fastest Mustang to 1967. With his 360 horsepower this Ford Shelby was the best choice for the buyers.
Now - 2009, Ford Shelby GT500 is here again. It have 500hp, because it in other case it will not be GT500
This Shelby GT500 can develop speed of 60mph for just 4,6 sec and this Ford can pass quarter-mile for just 12 seconds.
The brakes in this Shelby GT500 are really good - it is with Bremo brakes feature four-piston calipers, two-piston calipers and 11.8-inch discs in back and 14-inch rotors up front - that gives stability and you will be able to stop as you start this Ford

Volkswagen Blue Sport Roadster



Volkswagen's new two-door roadster sports a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four mounted amidships. It puts out 180 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and pushes just 2,600 pounds via a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Expect a 0-60 of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 140, all while returning about 35 mpg on the European cycle and upwards of 62 mpg in "Eco" mode.

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon



The Jeep Wrangler stands alone. It is the only car in America you can buy with easily removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a heritage going back to World War II. Incredibly, the years have left not only the look but also the character intact, despite a thorough redesign and parts from the corporate bin.The Wrangler is a better off-road vehicle than many rugged trucks costing twice as much, (including any Ford, which do have boundaries), but there are natural tradeoffs. You get to take off the roof and doors, but the cargo area is miniscule.

Mercedes-Benz SLK 350



I'm six hours into my first drive of Mercedes' new SLK and after spending most of them on the fabulous, twisting mountain roads of Majorca it's time to head back to base for the inevitable debrief with the project engineers. Most of them have lived and breathed the baby Benz for the last three years so any sort of criticism is taken almost personally.
Hellmut Polz is product manager of the new SLK and he tells me that its main benchmark rivals were the BMW Z4 and Porsche Boxster. It's pretty obvious he's chuffed with the result, especially with what he claims are the class-leading dynamics of the SLK compared with its two deadly rivals.

Tata Nano



Honestly, you can’t really ask for much when you’re buying a brand new car at just $2,500 like the Tata Nano. It has become extremely popular in its native India, and is gearing up to be released in other territories, including Europe.
But it seems that Tata isn’t happy with shipping an India-spec Nano to these countries, and is considering implementing some upgrades to the model, among which a better acceleration and … wait for it … a tailgate. No, I’m not kidding, it seems that future Nano owners will be able to push the 33 HP engine to a new redline at 6,000 rpm, but due to safety considerations, the top speed will still be limited to 65 mph. Also, the Indian engineers are considering shipping the Nano with a five-speed gearbox in Europe, and keeping the four-speed one in the local market.

Zero Pollution Motors MDI Air Car

If you can, imagine a vehicle that runs on air, achieves over 100 gas-equivalent mpg and over 90 mph, has zero to low C02 emissions, seats six, has plenty of space for luggage, cuts no safety corners, and costs no more than an average economy to mid-size vehicle.This is the expected performance of the revolutionary Air Car that Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) is introducing to North America. The vehicle runs on the Compressed Air Technology (C.a.t.) developed by Motor Development International (MDI), a 15-year old company based in Nice, France, and headed by inventor and Formula One race car engineer, Guy Negre. ZPM is the exclusive representative for MDI in the United States.


Saturn Sky car review

The Saturn Sky is one of the most exciting new vehicles to come down the pike, not because of its blazing speed (it’s not all that fast), its excellent cornering and road feel, or its technology; but because it provides the looks of the first-generation Dodge Viper in a cute, sporty, small package. The Sky is one of those rare cars that makes heads turn - both male and female heads - and causes kids to drop what they’re doing, gape, and yell “nice car!” Driving the Sky is an enjoyable experience even without an audience; the rubber grips the road with surprising tenacity, and you find yourself taking ever-sharper, ever-faster turns and enjoying it more.
