Luxury Car

 

When you're buying a Lotus, you don't want to be driving it in the city. Sitting in traffic jams, praying for temporary lights to stay green ("please don't change!"), and avoiding potholes and speed bumps is hardly fun. No, a Lotus is meant for the open road - the wide, open, twisty roads of the British countryside where the only hold up is when you pull over to admire the view.

I don't pretend to know much about cars, but I know what I like and I like Lotus cars. They're sexy, fast, fun to drive and you're guaranteed to turn heads when you're driving one, and isn't that what driving is all about? The model I like in particular is the Lotus Exige S. Ok, so it's not the easiest of cars to get into, but once you mastered the art of that it's actually a very comfortable ride. There's not buckets of space inside the cabin, but this isn't a car you'd take on a camping trip - this car was made for driving. The Lotus Exige S is an absolute joy to drive along twisty roads; it has excellent cornering abilities and exceptional grip. With the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, the Lotus Exige S isn't for the faint-hearted. However, it isn't as 'cash guzzling' as you might think, you can get around 200 miles out of one tank of petrol, which isn't too bad, and you can rest assured that the rev-hungry Toyota engine is reliable.

One of my favourite places to drive is in the south-west of England, particularly Devon and Dorset where the roads are clear of traffic and the views are simply stunning. Maybe one day I'll drive my new Lotus Exige S in Dorset, but for now I'll have to stick with my trusty Ford Fiesta.

New Car models Gallery

 

Six brand new models made our Top Picks this year: the Chevrolet Silverado and Traverse, Mazda5, Nissan Altima, Subaru Forester, and Volkswagen GTI. This marks the first time in six years that a few down home models earned spots or that an European auto made the list.

Several of final year's picks, the Toyota Highlander and RAV4 SUVs, were passed over this year. At the time of circulation, bargains of certain adaptations had been halted. We have suspended our proposal until a possibly unsafe part that might create unintended increasing speed is fixed.

The Ferrari California has had its power boosted and its performance systems improved again by tuner Novitec Rosso. A previous programme took the car up to 368kW (500mhp). From the factory the 2+2-seater’s 8-cylinder motor develops 338 kW (453 bhp / 460 PS) and 485 Nm (358 lb-ft).

Body Kits to Style Car

 

Body kits help you alter your vehicle in some shape. You can do this to nearly any exterior auto part.
Just analyze for one that may meet any needs you have got for the re-design. Jim Hall invented the body kit in 1961 as a technique to improve his auto’s aerodynamic capability. Aerodynamics is how wind travels your auto’s fringe with minimal effort. When done correctly your auto faces less air resistance and your engine is also cooled down concurrently. What Hall’s body kit did was force the vehicle downward so the air resistance will be reduced. Your vehicle’s speed is improved with the reduced air besiege

2011 Simbol Design Sports Cars Lavazza GTX-R The New Super Sports Cars

 

Italian brands The Lavazza GT-R unveiled, Simbol Design has some pictures and specifications for the new super sports car. Simbol Design has created this impressive new V12 supercar producing 620 hp while weighing a mere 2380 lbs. This gives the car an exceptional power to weight ratio of 3.8 lb.

Lavazza GTX-R body made of carbon-Kevlar built atop a tubular steel frame. And since German powerplants have emerged as the new crate engine of choice for niche manufacturers from Spyker and Wiesmann to Gumpert and Pagani, the Lavazza packs a BMW-sourced 5.4-liter V12, picking up Lamborghini's tractor-origins mantle with an electro-pneumatic transmission reportedly sourced from a bus. Sources differ on the engine's output – alternately claiming 489 horsepower or 620 – but either way, 0-60 mph times quoted around the four-and-a-half second sound conservative.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Pur Sang Edition

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.

The carbon monocoque holds the engine plus the passenger cell, while the polished aluminum panelling is enhanced by reflections in the sculpted bodywork. Interestingly, the rawness of the materials even more strongly highlights the dual character of this car: performance power coupled with cruising comfort, structure and body, dark and light.

Luxury Sports Cars: Stories: Pagani Zonda S repair bill

 

One of Britain's largest insurance companies is paying through its teeth as an insurance claim for one luxury sports car has come in at a record-breaking (for the company at least) £300,000. The car in question is the Pagani Zonda S which is a £500,000 two seater luxury sports car.

The Pagani Zonda S was badly damaged by a clearly inexperienced driver who lost control of it on a test run on a country lane near Glasgow. The collision ended leaving the face of the Pagani Zonda S in a poll and a fence.

The car insurance company question is Aviva and they have decided that the car is not beyond repair so have decided to have it shipped back to Modena, Italy where only 10 Pagani Zonda S’ are made in a year. Materials such as titanium and aluminium are used in this luxury sports car and Aviva said in a statement: "It's the biggest repairs payout we've seen."

Amanda Ellis and Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

 

Fewer things go together as nicely as hot girls and high performance sports cars. We have to admit that there’s not much to say here, we will just let the photos do the talking! The only comment necessary is that both the girl and the  car, a amborghini  Murcielago LP640 are two items that we would love to have in the Top Speed garage!

Miss Tuning 2009 Calendar featuring the lovely Daniela Grimm

 

The lovely Miss Daniela Grimm was honored with the privilege of being the exclusive model featured in the 2009 Miss Tuning Calendar. The almanac is sure to become a best seller as Daniela shows off her finer points dress up as everything from Cat Woman ready to pounce in front of the classic Batmobile to showing off her behind along with the back of an Impala.

 

 The calendar has something for everyone from fans of high revving imports clad with carbon fiber like the tuned G37 that is about to run down the 1320 against a very fast gold Supra to the classic American automobiles like a bodacious bubblegum pink Cadillac as well as giving a good look at the interior of a first generation Corvette. Don’t despair high-end fans, because Miss Tuning 2008 found a sweet silver S Class with a pair of suicide doors in the back. There will only be 150 examples of this fine piece of automotive art, so not only does the calendar have Ms. Grim going for it but it is also a very limited edition. We thought it would be a good idea to share a few more of the photos with you.Miss Tuning 2009 Calendar

Kim Kardashian’s cars

 

Kim Kardashian is a celebrity that needs no introduction, from her scandalous home video with rapper Ray J to her hit reality cable show on TV, Ms. Kardashian is becoming a piece of contemporary pop culture. But did you know that aside from being a hot chick, the daughter of O.J. Simpson’s defense attorney is also an automotive aficionado. It looks like Kim has made friends with the crew over at Platinum motorsports because all of her exotic rides are wearing the tuning shop’s decorative plate on the front of all her vehicles.

The superstar’s lineup consists of a white Range Rover complete with obligatory Strut grill and what look to be 24 inch rims. Kim K owns a pair of Bentleys, a white four door Flying Spur and a blacked out drop top Continental GTC. She also enjoys taking some time out of her day to pose for a few quick snapshots in front of her Lamborghini Gallrdo Spyder. The latest addition to the Kardashian garage is a smooth silver Ferrari F430.
