Ferrari Hamann F430 Black Miracle

Hamann Motorsport now offers the mid-engine Ferrari a special outstanding design that equally provides a racing car look standing out from the crowd. It's called "Black Miracle" and will be responsible for great deal of turned heads.

Moller Skycar

So much of the automotive industry runs on the fumes generated by hype; how much air can you blow? And it’s very easy, even for jaded industry veterans, to fall for it, generally because you want to believe. One look at the 4-passenger Moller M400 Skycar and we don’t much care who you are, this is a dynamo—hustler and hooker, the collective futurecars dream.

The safety. Emergency parachutes (you won’t likely see that again anytime soon in a car review).

Future Lexus

Overview
Lexus introduced the all-new Taurus at the North American International Auto Show in January, and it's quite a change from past years.
While Lexus has aimed to turn the Taurus into its flagship car, the company has also shifted the car’s appeal. Instead of making the Taurus a staid family car with a high seating position and capable but conservative handling, Lexus has targeted fun driving dynamics and a high, sportier design. The roof line has been lowered by about three inches and the driving position has been lowered about two inches

Ferrari 360

The 360 Modena is a clean-sheet design which anticipates trends for future Ferrari road cars. These include lower weight combined with greater chassis rigidity - seemingly contrasting objectives that have been achieved by employing innovative construction technology. The 360 Modena is the first production Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminum. Chassis, bodyshell and suspension wishbones are all made from this light-weight material, allowing the engineers to provide the best overall performance and handling ever achieved in a mid-engined Ferrari, along with levels of comfort unheard of before.

Mazda RX-8

The car's revised suspension, which drops the ride height by almost 1 inch, improves the standard car's class leading dynamics and adds to the concept's visual impact. Suspension modifications focus on new specification, stiffer Eibach springs that help improve the already impressive grip offered by the RX-8's multi-link front and rear suspension. The revised suspension settings, which help reduce body roll, further sharpen responses from the car's electric-driven rack and pinion steering.

Subaru Impreza

Subaru has announced a new special edition Impreza WRX STI in memory of rally hero Richard Burns who died in November last year of cancer.Called the RB320, the new car features around £6,000 worth of extra equipment including the 320 bhp Prodrive Performance Pack, yet costs £29,995 on-the-road - an increase of only £3,500.

Maybach Exelero

Just imagine an automobile that combines the elegance and first-class quality of a high-end limousine with the powerful suppleness of a sports coupe. Create a vehicle in your mind's eye which, with an unladen weight of over 2.66 tons and the dimensions of a small transporter, achieves a maximum speed of over 210 mph. Conceive an ultra-high performance tire which not only copes with the aforementioned weight, the dimensions and the speed, but also makes the automobile safe, stable and comfortable. Such a vehicle and such tires do not exist? Now they do. Meet Maybach Exelero with Fulda tires.

Fiat Grande

This new model, the Esperante GT-LM, takes the remarkably composed and refined touring version of the Esperante platform and gives it a decidedly more sporting tone. A new rear sub-frame, developed with technical partner Multimatic Inc. reduces mass while increasing stiffness and features a motor-sport oriented suspension geometry.

Ford of Europe revealed the exciting new look for its 2009 FIA World Rally Championship campaign as the team was unveiled at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham.

2009 Ford Mustang GT

The 2009 Ford Mustang GT and 6 cylinder Mustang variants should continue to sell like hotcakes to muscle car fans and those who see the Ford Mustang as a way to recapture their childhood dreams of drive-in movies, drag races and all that nonsense. The 2009 Mustang is still nearly exactly the same near-sports car that thrilled the automotive world when released for the 2005 model year, a big step up from the previous model in terms of performance relative to base price, and handling. Still, carrying a fixed real axel even in Mustang GT trim, the 2009 Ford Mustang can't touch the sports car capabilities of other models in the class.

2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is the first vechicle to come from Ford's Special Vehicle Team in some time. With none too much R&D money on the books, Ford SVT does not exactly have the resources to build niche market cars that may not sell. So why all the hubbub about the F-150 SVT Raptor? Marketing.

Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermes

As if the Bugatti Veyron supercar wasn't enough, Bugatti has gone and released three special edition Veyrons to date, of which the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermes could be called the most luxurious. Not that the standard Veyron, an Italian sports car costing nearly 2 million dollars if you can convince the most exclusive brand in sports cars that you are worthy, could not be called the ultimate luxury in itself.

2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the exciting new holder of the title of world's fastest roadster, has made its exciting debut at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang Edition

Visitors to the Atelier in Molsheim are always intrigued to see the Bugatti Veyron's high-tech components being meticulously assembled into an automotive work of art. Watching the car coming together, coupled with an admiration for the technical beauty of its structure, gave the designers the idea of finishing the car in its pure material configuration - meaning no color coating. The result is the EB 16.4. Veyron "Pur Sang", a two-tone study of pure materialness showing the car's true essentials: carbon and aluminum

2007 Bentley Continental GT

But finding the correct basic seat position for those in the front was only the start. Mindful of the fact that drivers do not all come in the same convenient size, Bentley's packaging team resolved to ensure that the GT coupe fitted a wider range of potential Bentley customers than any other coupe in its history. And job one in this quest was to travel to New York and measure some professional basketball players. This led to exhaustive adjustment and extension of the seat runners until the car was capable of accommodating people for whom supercars could hitherto not even be considered.

2007 Bentley Azure

At the IAA Motor Show, Bentley Motors revealed the production version of the new Azure.

2008 BMW AC Schnitzer ACS3 Sport Specifications

When beads of perspiration form on the brow of experienced sports car drivers, it's not necessarily down to a faulty air conditioning system. With the 420 bhp V8 of the BMW M3, the ACS3 Sport catapults even its keenest challengers into the rear view mirror. The sporting coupe is ideal for anyone seeking to gain advantage on twisting tracks. A normal M3 would be a tough competitor here, because in comparison with the "civilized" 3-series Coupe it has a totally different axle construction. With racing suspension developed on the legendary Nürburgring, AC Schnitzer has succeeded in refining the handling potential of the chassis even further. And fitted with the Short Shift from Aachen, the ACS3 Sport becomes the automotive hero of the day: No-one is changing gears faster!

2009 BMW Z4

The BMW Z4 is ever present in any car city, especially in Los Angeles where BMW convertibles are treated as fashion accessories like pairs of shoes.

Many BMW faithful turned to roadsters from Porsche, Audi or Honda for a better all-around driving experience.

2009 BMW 7 Series Specifications

The last generation, 2002-2008 BMW 7 Series, employing BMW's first attempt at what the German luxury car company calls "Flame Surfacing" under the direction of BMW design director Chris Bangle, was loved by some and much maligned by most others for its "unique" design direction.

The all new Audi S4, to be released in the spring of 2009 as a 2010 model, not only continues Audi's stunning yet simplistic new design language, but carries killer performance specs superior to those of 2009 and earlier S4 models. Audi does not merely bump up the displacement of the 2010 S4 engine, rather opting to develop a revolutionary forced induction system that falls somewhere between turbocharging and supercharging.

2009 Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Concept

German sports car maker Audi received such a strong reception to the original Audi TT Clubsport Quattro concept that they have released a new Clubsport, based closely on the new Audi TT.
