In addition to the extravagant high-tech carbon-fiber body program for the gullwing the tuner also offers ultralight forged wheels, an electronically adjustable Ride Control smooth-ride suspension, a titanium high-performance exhaust system with electronically controlled sound management and custom Brabus interiors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;To give the SLS an even more muscular appearance the Brabus designers have developed custom-tailored Brabus Widestar components for the rear axle. Like all other body components they are made from extremely light yet very strong carbon fibers identical to the ones used in Formula 1 racing. The add-on parts for the rear fenders and the rear fascia create an even more spectacular look and make room for special wheels that widen the rear track by 20 millimeters for even further improved driving dynamics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN3Vj4VNrJp2Zwc0xtZH9EfBy-VZtO0BChvUBc0Sc-WaQi5U7PEfDygp_uGpt4kMtXJDFeW9AoisYeTCZxRp68Xdggjqs1gkOUzbBGavk3QQOT-GEUcvqDm9aNL35_2YkD4k962ik1abU/s1600/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Front-Side-View-588x390.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN3Vj4VNrJp2Zwc0xtZH9EfBy-VZtO0BChvUBc0Sc-WaQi5U7PEfDygp_uGpt4kMtXJDFeW9AoisYeTCZxRp68Xdggjqs1gkOUzbBGavk3QQOT-GEUcvqDm9aNL35_2YkD4k962ik1abU/s400/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Front-Side-View-588x390.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Widestar&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The suspension engineers developed custom-tailored versions of the ultralight Brabus Monoblock F Platinum Edition forged wheels in sizes 9.5Jx20 in front and 11Jx21 on the rear axle for the wide version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. These wheels are available with a brushed-design or ceramics-polished surface and can also be painted in any desired color. The staggered wheels with 20- and 21-inch diameters on front and rear axles further emphasize the wedge-shaped look of the sports car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6rb1nc5aFEOQCRygEM0Jh0AiKn0XhPdmpRhP24uxJ4vsfmkwMsK0knRBKYoLRXUZx2yEljt8IjvfYzSHywiYzPhgPzRKSRTyt0Is9Jagey-JSjpQizUKG56Abi_90di7xZTrhSn88BQ/s1600/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Side-View-588x390.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6rb1nc5aFEOQCRygEM0Jh0AiKn0XhPdmpRhP24uxJ4vsfmkwMsK0knRBKYoLRXUZx2yEljt8IjvfYzSHywiYzPhgPzRKSRTyt0Is9Jagey-JSjpQizUKG56Abi_90di7xZTrhSn88BQ/s400/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Side-View-588x390.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Widestar&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Despite the wheels’ bigger size they deliver a weight reduction of up to 12 percent compared to the SLS production wheels. The reduced unsprung weight further results in even more agile handling. Brabus technology partners Pirelli and Yokohama supply the optimal high-performance tires in sizes 275/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 21.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ride-height lowering by up to 30 millimeters (1.2 inches) also plays an important role in the striking appearance of the Brabus-modified SLS. The Brabus suspension is height-adjustable and was developed in cooperation with technology partner Bilstein. At the push of a button its integrated Ride Control function also offers a smoother ride than the production car. From the cockpit the driver can at any time – even while driving – switch between damper settings that offer a more comfortable or a sportier ride than the production car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZydkaLLmhXTbiVwLxQCrXUR09GL4S2MAr2-IPKxrkvTlMKqOv9eK7H2-Ta8Luj3WrVqiSEi8LS_hkfxtBeEkw7Tc1L79QboDAx1sMrbpBJ4pQz1sGStPvi-ylKTm-0TVnuZFHHnns48A/s1600/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Rear-Angle-View-588x390.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZydkaLLmhXTbiVwLxQCrXUR09GL4S2MAr2-IPKxrkvTlMKqOv9eK7H2-Ta8Luj3WrVqiSEi8LS_hkfxtBeEkw7Tc1L79QboDAx1sMrbpBJ4pQz1sGStPvi-ylKTm-0TVnuZFHHnns48A/s400/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Rear-Angle-View-588x390.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Widestar&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Brabus high-performance exhaust system with four slanted exhaust tips with diameters of 84 millimeters (3.3 inches) is somewhat atypical for traditional tuning. Its sound management, controlled by the driver and activated by a pneumatic flap, includes a ‘coming home’ setting that is quieter than the production exhaust. In ’sport’ mode the 6.3-liter eight-cylinder engine produces an even more powerful exhaust note than with the production exhaust. The Brabus exhaust system is manufactured from extremely lightweight titanium and weighs 12 kilograms (26 lbs.) or 40 percent less than the production exhaust. Another welcome by-product of this exhaust is an increase in power output by 10 hp / 7.4 kW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2OUmOJnrEw0fzCHhHVMSRTvncdt5XgEyKqW4-VnzAxak4mXJum_8u_9ZA5H3CeVbsJdpHKH-ZSWtCpZ2tiDq7dQ1S8vxVAXlhPta_YPkd-snbFjA74_q1bJ_u4DtlTklNP7kohnhQP8/s1600/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Side-Door-Open-View-588x390.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2OUmOJnrEw0fzCHhHVMSRTvncdt5XgEyKqW4-VnzAxak4mXJum_8u_9ZA5H3CeVbsJdpHKH-ZSWtCpZ2tiDq7dQ1S8vxVAXlhPta_YPkd-snbFjA74_q1bJ_u4DtlTklNP7kohnhQP8/s400/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Side-Door-Open-View-588x390.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Widestar&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://carpartners.blogspot.com/2010/12/brabus-mercedes-benz-sls-amg-widestar.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1QfDXqcnqqEfxYnEEi_FKLIT5uwf2u7ZifMGEfkZHIRozZ3YpgnG2njeME3sBz0k7NVD8V2GzdlUJsOJzDipBhxpMgdKPHyb-WsV0Ly-dggvcY4d1Fn5Od8gATA4aH4sCPvSSIxYy3vk/s72-c/2011-Brabus-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG-Widestar-Front-Side-Door-Open-View-588x390.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563261660350819856.post-4906844688736314141</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-12-05T00:25:42.831-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">BMW</category><title>BMW X5 Mansory</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbvszAe-z31UIojw-0IyHQJOOPHvMK_EzommNQU8SOg2K9m2SRIGmiMJEvHZFT280_HyFqMNJOLyX1uPZgqeluJ5fNDvMpXi0DllOo1zTvLpP5_FUIJjlnDtHAJYSxdAxKhCGMzTXuDs/s1600/2011-Mansory-BMW-X5-Front-Side-View-588x441.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpbvszAe-z31UIojw-0IyHQJOOPHvMK_EzommNQU8SOg2K9m2SRIGmiMJEvHZFT280_HyFqMNJOLyX1uPZgqeluJ5fNDvMpXi0DllOo1zTvLpP5_FUIJjlnDtHAJYSxdAxKhCGMzTXuDs/s400/2011-Mansory-BMW-X5-Front-Side-View-588x441.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;BMW X5 Mansory&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The striking appearance of the Mansory BMW X5 is assisted by a wide range of performance kits for the standard engines. The highlight is a vigorous upgrade for the BMW X5 M aggregate. Approximately 670 hp /493kW and a torque of 950 Nm at a rate of 5900 Umin (series: 555 hp / 408 kW and 680 Nm at a rate of 1500 – 5650 Umin) results from the use of a completely new exhaust system along with headers as well as optimised engine electrics.

The silver monoblock cast wheels with the description M10 are fitted with tyres of the dimension 315/25R23, which guarantee proper grip. In connection with lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity by 40mm with sport springs on the front axle as well by 40 mm on the back axle with adjusted vehicle height, the masculine appearance of the MANSORY BMW X5 M is glamorously rounded off. In addition, the sports suspension improves handling.

However, the 5 exhibits a nimble nature that will have it running tight little circles around conventional minivans. The sharp, communicative steering is particularly impressive. However, the 5 is still a tallish vehicle, and it certainly feels more top-heavy and tippy than the compact sedan on which it&#39;s based.

The power catapults the C25 with a torque of 1320 Newton metres at 3750 r.p.m. which is electronically limited to 1,150 Newton metres from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 352 km/h.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAs6iV-6rx0nNgJ7tN8SagHXYbC3TI4T44CLNWmNP3ZgxQdxBhtS6Kt0f2QrQcRMVw3XA9cn5mcWybgc-tHP_sF8RUobzPL6jE54vMt5lbJOw9UCjwAMLN-LgDYoS4iKzqJuADCT7yqFo/s1600-h/2010-Carlsson-C25-Super-GT-Concept-Side-View-588x203.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 229px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAs6iV-6rx0nNgJ7tN8SagHXYbC3TI4T44CLNWmNP3ZgxQdxBhtS6Kt0f2QrQcRMVw3XA9cn5mcWybgc-tHP_sF8RUobzPL6jE54vMt5lbJOw9UCjwAMLN-LgDYoS4iKzqJuADCT7yqFo/s400/2010-Carlsson-C25-Super-GT-Concept-Side-View-588x203.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Carlsson C25 Super-GT Concept &quot; title=&quot;Carlsson C25&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Carlsson C25 Super-GT Concept also comes with an ultra-light and forged wheels 1/10 UL in the dimensions 9,5×20 and 12×20 inches have been especially designed for the C25 and are equipped with high performance tyres measuring 265/30 at the front and 325/25 at the rear live axle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRJS5vezQ3SKgFZ8Wuz7WNpeXA3Iq4arUJHyMTm1HfGtepX9SrwS8AmrwumbDeUntZVD98alMMaFb1ZCe2o7Xs6Z_Pes7yyOMX7lvsF2uaAQwLRAWzd52U7wOCsJqx_D17I_ueC3Kb-0/s1600-h/2010-Carlsson-C25-Super-GT-Concept-Side-Studio-View-588x243.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 165px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRJS5vezQ3SKgFZ8Wuz7WNpeXA3Iq4arUJHyMTm1HfGtepX9SrwS8AmrwumbDeUntZVD98alMMaFb1ZCe2o7Xs6Z_Pes7yyOMX7lvsF2uaAQwLRAWzd52U7wOCsJqx_D17I_ueC3Kb-0/s400/2010-Carlsson-C25-Super-GT-Concept-Side-Studio-View-588x243.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Carlsson C25 Super-GT Concept &quot; title=&quot;Carlsson C25&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://carpartners.blogspot.com/2010/11/carlsson-c25-super-gt-concept.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrpPJq6iYZgKIvXRcBzmi66u18taF279zRHOvfFREjfpsRczofRhnnG5yP6SaT8NcVMFIiQaYwzY0tRzHtDPX3xorT8-U9qPt2d_9zKu-2TOcchvoVRxqYZlFL4XHodtBdbFXlrIG8HvU/s72-c/2010-Carlsson-C25-Super-GT-Concept-Front-Side-View-588x343.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563261660350819856.post-3146447426121813641</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Nov 2010 20:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-13T12:16:20.461-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dodge</category><title>Dodge Viper SRT10 2010</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCl9DS8mbgbeXs86tFFw-LlRlLCA48dp78myEyTx_N0gCTWNMAL2F53VdBtRDWnNfWoChMT6W2oLigI7nzj9lw0Dl3xKvUzdX0ZtzaAbn6GxDM0E0-JIgTTiqeYZF4dGFVMDN0N-yZyjE/s1600-h/2010-Dodge-Viper-SRT10-Front-Angle-Top-View-588x441.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCl9DS8mbgbeXs86tFFw-LlRlLCA48dp78myEyTx_N0gCTWNMAL2F53VdBtRDWnNfWoChMT6W2oLigI7nzj9lw0Dl3xKvUzdX0ZtzaAbn6GxDM0E0-JIgTTiqeYZF4dGFVMDN0N-yZyjE/s400/2010-Dodge-Viper-SRT10-Front-Angle-Top-View-588x441.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Dodge Viper SRT10 2010&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;At the heart of the 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 remains the venerable 8.4-liter (510 cu. in.) V-10 engine that produces 600 (450 kW) horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. (760 Nm) of torque. Benchmark performance numbers, including 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds, quarter-mile time in the mid 11-second range and 0-100-0 mph in 11 seconds flat, and a top speed of 202 mph, continue to prove how the serious, race-inspired, street-legal two-seater performs without apology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4H6Xq7SB6hNBrykZQU6wN1x6VMGYI9mbA3hqpTJHzDsrdFr1cXpQA6oz2Rbk-DJw1qLFRWDqVqt5tQoHRpOmlkPlliQoY8QOXzvvGQRfNdWJZlfF25j4B8Cf4yon6AjUnS7UC-wzna1c/s1600-h/2010-Dodge-Viper-SRT10-Front-Top-View-588x441.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4H6Xq7SB6hNBrykZQU6wN1x6VMGYI9mbA3hqpTJHzDsrdFr1cXpQA6oz2Rbk-DJw1qLFRWDqVqt5tQoHRpOmlkPlliQoY8QOXzvvGQRfNdWJZlfF25j4B8Cf4yon6AjUnS7UC-wzna1c/s400/2010-Dodge-Viper-SRT10-Front-Top-View-588x441.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Dodge Viper SRT10 2010&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Stopping power is another carefully developed part of the Viper SRT10 equation, with 14-inch brake rotors gripped by Brembo 44/40 dual-opposing piston calipers in the front and Brembo 42/38 dual-opposing calipers in the rear. This system results in world-class braking performance of 60-0 mph in less than 100 feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the introduction of two new exterior colors–Toxic Orange Pearl Coat and Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat–Dodge Viper SRT10 is now available in 12 different colors – the most regularly available choices in one model year.

The standard wheelbase version gets 19-inch wheels and a revised trunk lid with integral spoiler. The long-wheelbase L version now has massaging front seats as standard as well as contrasting stitching and piping for the upholstery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;2010 Audi A8 Vehicle Overview&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Introduction&lt;br /&gt;For many of the wealthy among us, a full-size luxury sedan is more than a way of getting to soirees, art gallery openings and the cottage in the Hamptons. In addition to providing sumptuous, speedy transport, a luxury sedan must also provide prestige. And there are plenty of obvious choices that trumpet that message to the masses loud and clear. But for those who prefer a more understated aesthetic, the 2010 Audi A8 is a compelling proposition, even if it won&#39;t necessarily raise as many eyebrows in the country club parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it always has, Audi&#39;s flagship features an impeccably finished cabin, powerful yet refined performance and polished road manners. Audi&#39;s adaptive air suspension handles interstate cruises and serpentine mountain roads with equal ease, while the standard all-wheel drive provides an extra measure of confidence when the weather turns nasty on the way to the ski lodge. Even now, in its last year of this generation (next year brings a redesigned A8), this Audi&#39;s timeless styling manages to look muscular and elegant at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, despite its many charms, including a price tag thousands lower than its rivals, the 2010 Audi A8 trails the BMW 7 Series, Lexus LS 460 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the sales chart race. This seemingly illogical situation can likely be attributed to the A8&#39;s slight but undeniable lack of cachet compared with its chief German rivals, as well as its inability to compete with the LS 460&#39;s sterling reputation for quality. But if one can set aside these mostly perceived deficiencies, the A8 is certainly worth a close look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2010 Audi A8 comes in two trims: standard and long-wheelbase L (which provides more room for rear seat passengers).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both A8 models come standard with alloy wheels (19-inch on standard A8, 18-inch on L trim), xenon headlights, a sunroof, Audi&#39;s Multi Media Interface (MMI) system, a navigation system, cruise control, leather upholstery, 16-way power front seats, heated front and rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a parking system with a rearview camera, keyless ignition/entry, a power trunk opener, power door closers, Bluetooth and a 12-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with satellite radio, iPod connectivity and a CD changer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The L adds four-zone climate control, ventilated/massaging front seats, contrasting stitching and piping on the upholstery and lumbar adjustment for all passengers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Options include 20-inch wheels, carbon-fiber interior trim (standard A8), massaging front seats (standard A8), a solar-powered venting sunroof, upgraded leather interior trim, a 1,000-watt Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen audio system and a Technology package that adds adaptive cruise control, a lane departure warning system and a blind-spot warning system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Powertrains and Performance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both the standard and L models come with a 4.2-liter V8 that makes 350 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. It comes matched to a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission that drives all four wheels through Audi&#39;s Quattro AWD system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite its substantial size, this is a quick luxury sedan. Either version can hit 60 mph in the low 6-second range and cover the quarter-mile in the low 14s. Fuel economy ratings are the same for both at 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8Q4W7_XJZNzX_IWJhb7HXGfL0Op4Dr2CnPKUoqAwxmj-0WTmSRF47Bbc_i517Rhcmi1tKW7QivGJUogOj42aPWWrF1RpsZM1vHDv_izasydNP3A2cusQgiDlBvTbA3QK88Guz7Bcwgw/s1600-h/2010.audi.a8.20305209-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8Q4W7_XJZNzX_IWJhb7HXGfL0Op4Dr2CnPKUoqAwxmj-0WTmSRF47Bbc_i517Rhcmi1tKW7QivGJUogOj42aPWWrF1RpsZM1vHDv_izasydNP3A2cusQgiDlBvTbA3QK88Guz7Bcwgw/s400/2010.audi.a8.20305209-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Audi A8 2010 Review&quot; title=&quot;Audi A8 2010&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Safety&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Standard on all 2010 Audi A8s are antilock brakes, stability and traction control, full-length side curtain airbags, front- and rear-seat side airbags and active front headrests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Interior Design and Special Features&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interior of the A8 provides first-class comfort, especially in the L version, which boasts a limolike 42 inches of rear legroom. In typical Audi fashion, the fit and finish is superb, with generous amounts of wood, Alcantara and aluminum accents lending a luxurious ambience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a 16-way power-adjustable driver seat (including upper seatback angle) and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, finding a comfortable driving position is easy for folks of all body types. The dash is uncluttered by buttons thanks to Audi&#39;s MMI, which handles everything from the navigation and audio systems to the adjustment of the driver-selectable air suspension.

Moreover, the powerful and easily modulated brakes have no problem reining in this luxury liner. While the air suspension works just fine in automatic mode, the &quot;Dynamic&quot; setting tightens up body control considerably, making the A8 feel more like a sport sedan than a large flagship luxury car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5P2xiejFZMn_ruaiVS2CH-f_k5e1zT4zTf1qDEEgyO4hEcAd9Sebto4JDBOWF4SXhIrBQJTb45i_HP1pJkiLsqvpSGCstI_e5ChduCrvYy0WHGgthYIhK7LgXVVVEJmdmEwql72gXkTE/s1600-h/2009.audi.a8.20241673-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5P2xiejFZMn_ruaiVS2CH-f_k5e1zT4zTf1qDEEgyO4hEcAd9Sebto4JDBOWF4SXhIrBQJTb45i_HP1pJkiLsqvpSGCstI_e5ChduCrvYy0WHGgthYIhK7LgXVVVEJmdmEwql72gXkTE/s400/2009.audi.a8.20241673-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Audi A8 2010 Review&quot; title=&quot;Audi A8 2010&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://carpartners.blogspot.com/2010/11/audi-a8-2010-review.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZgkxpcju1aVoHA9l_cSZeskToWAxp87DP28JBSwpP1DOkZwTaR2fjvyv4Ise7TJZD_VJThzytNrJ-yv3FHzRV50qWHbcvme7gayIPOy2R-jUM4kPF3sbCuBPwxttLjn_e-ebbmszykp8/s72-c/2010.audi.a8.20305204-E.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563261660350819856.post-7734121178766977681</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Nov 2010 09:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-11T01:46:01.315-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mitsubishi</category><title>Mitsubishi ASX</title><description>&lt;ins style=&quot;height: 280px; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 336px;&quot;&gt;     &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbilrr9r31Cogz4w5VlQtsGzvQnew_XpClsY32592m_sJ3aG_tU3neo_FAbVMLUk2gS-MevblbpPochB-YAOs6oAVyMEW8BIwzEYk-hM4aFsrFVnTAvGwzU7f_eesPIauNVMK_6hkXxY/s1600/2011-Mitsubishi-ASX-Front-Angle-View-800x600.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxbilrr9r31Cogz4w5VlQtsGzvQnew_XpClsY32592m_sJ3aG_tU3neo_FAbVMLUk2gS-MevblbpPochB-YAOs6oAVyMEW8BIwzEYk-hM4aFsrFVnTAvGwzU7f_eesPIauNVMK_6hkXxY/s400/2011-Mitsubishi-ASX-Front-Angle-View-800x600.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; mitsubishi=&quot;&quot; asx=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Mitsubishi ASX&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Amongst other available powertrains, the Mitsubishi ASX European-spec version will be fitted with an all-new Euro 5-compliant 1.8L turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine jointly developed by MMC and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and will feature “Automatic Stop &amp;amp;  Go” technology.

This package includes a front lip, side skirts, a rear diffuser and special mirror casings.

In an effort to make the &#39;wagden&#39; (half wagon, half sedan) look more appealing, Schnitzer added front and rear spoilers, a ventilated hood, aggressive side skirts, a redesigned rear fascia, chrome exhaust tips, and new wheels (available in a number of different styles, in sizes ranging from 19- to 22-inches). Inside, the company installed aluminum pedals, velour footmats, and a new cover for the i-Drive controller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSzwzvrocHi3GvG3y1B4YZpVKskSzjA9PZUsw9wXdqdsBIekIr40uW21Hto1naai6x0L-rPSszu5barSf8a0VbazFJezEviRGGm7v-T2G-aA9cgaQo0t0H-SGxO_fWqlZdbWNPKl9l_U/s1600-h/5342609.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSzwzvrocHi3GvG3y1B4YZpVKskSzjA9PZUsw9wXdqdsBIekIr40uW21Hto1naai6x0L-rPSszu5barSf8a0VbazFJezEviRGGm7v-T2G-aA9cgaQo0t0H-SGxO_fWqlZdbWNPKl9l_U/s400/5342609.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; bmw=&quot;&quot; series=&quot;&quot; gt=&quot;&quot; by=&quot;&quot; ac=&quot;&quot; schnitzer=&quot;&quot; debuts=&quot;&quot; in=&quot;&quot; geneva=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;BMW 5-Series GT&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On the performance side, the engine in the 530d has been tuned to produce 286 HP (213 kW / 289 PS) - an increase of 41 HP (31 kW / 42 PS).

Everything you&#39;d expect from a luxury car is standard, along with 21-inch wheels, run-flat tires, an adjustable air suspension, power-closing doors, bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, a two-piece &quot;picnic&quot; trunk lid, a five-layer convertible soft top, parking sensors, front and rear heated seats, power front seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, memory functions and multizone climate control. Electronic features includes Rolls-Royce emergency telematics, keyless ignition/entry, voice commands, Bluetooth, a navigation system and a 15-speaker Lexicon surround-sound stereo with an in-dash single-CD player, in-glovebox six-CD changer, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio with a lifetime subscription.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that list seems incomplete, rest assured that Rolls-Royces can be customized to your heart&#39;s content. Besides the infinite color palette available, other optional features include different wheel designs, front and rear camera systems, visible exhaust tips, a brushed stainless-steel hood and such frivolities as champagne fridges and humidors.

A six-speed automatic transmission sends that massive power to the rear wheels. Rolls-Royce estimates that the Drophead will go from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.

Almost every surface is adorned in beautifully crafted veneer, shiny chrome, soft cashmere or the sumptuous hides of Bavarian cattle. The dashboard has so much wood on it that you might mistake it for a clothes bureau. The driver is greeted by classically simple gauges and a minimalist control panel. The climate controls are mounted a little low on the dash, however, and consist of strange thumb wheels instead of dials or buttons with a digital display. More complex functions like the navigation system are managed by an interface similar to BMW&#39;s iDrive system, with the trademark mouselike controller hiding inside the center console when not in use and the LCD screen disappearing behind the classic analog clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to the rear-hinged &quot;coach&quot; doors, ingress and egress are far easier than in traditional coupes. The doors are impressively large and quite heavy, though one doesn&#39;t have to yank them shut, as they are power-operated. Although not nearly as spacious as the Phantom sedan&#39;s enormous rear quarters, the Coupe&#39;s backseat still provides plenty of adult-sized comfort for hours of high-class travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HIV74UR8ptK9NyEv36oWn7-2nPbWgb0tcDVc1BdnzFGMryt0Ksh0nllW98NnkuUCy07jmIH7sSQ3SS6gnK2qybr1XnA-uIx4r9Y1amptAjb94462jjIU73wUCBXo7qncEvByKgqDqGk/s1600-h/2010.rolls-royce.phantom+drophead+coupe.20317489-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HIV74UR8ptK9NyEv36oWn7-2nPbWgb0tcDVc1BdnzFGMryt0Ksh0nllW98NnkuUCy07jmIH7sSQ3SS6gnK2qybr1XnA-uIx4r9Y1amptAjb94462jjIU73wUCBXo7qncEvByKgqDqGk/s400/2010.rolls-royce.phantom+drophead+coupe.20317489-E.jpg&quot; alt&quot;Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Review&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Driving Impressions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Big. That&#39;s the best word to describe the 2010 Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe, a vehicle that is enormous in every dimension despite being 10 inches shorter than its sedan comrade. As such, piloting it through tighter streets can be daunting, with its wide body and huge front end perched in the distance like the bow of a ship (the Spirit of Ecstasy perched atop the grille may start to look like Leo DiCaprio yelling, &quot;I&#39;m king of the world!&quot;). Thankfully, the optional split-view front camera provides a left-right side view of crossroads ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given its size, the Drophead is definitely happiest out on the open road, dominating high-speed thoroughfares like a road-going ocean liner. The ride is smooth but not floaty, absorbing broken pavement with nothing but muted thumps, and the open-roof structure feels impressively rigid. You could probably hit a land mine and barely notice.

The Honda Odyssey is completely redesigned for 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minivan isn&#39;t as popular as it once was, but it remains the quintessential form of transportation for families big and small. No other vehicle offers the type of versatility and space for kids and the copious amount of stuff that invariably comes along with them. The 2011 Honda Odyssey is a completely redesigned entry among this dwindling number of minivans, replacing a model that was widely considered to be the best in its class for a decade. In other words, it has some very big shoes to fill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM4OQoDRjuJn-FUb0sdGJQFWNWEaswMNFZzSC1a72WDQykuy_bPqpLo223_0RIgbYrEQqaZYUB1vxrQH4EZ7CmaScgFcFzYcbzJgcSPi7xuGsyF5VQ9i7Ml5R_XlNo77w-yBCCSN1z2A/s1600/20340104-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyM4OQoDRjuJn-FUb0sdGJQFWNWEaswMNFZzSC1a72WDQykuy_bPqpLo223_0RIgbYrEQqaZYUB1vxrQH4EZ7CmaScgFcFzYcbzJgcSPi7xuGsyF5VQ9i7Ml5R_XlNo77w-yBCCSN1z2A/s400/20340104-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Honda Odyssey Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The 2011 Odyssey is an inch-plus shorter in height than before, but has gained an inch-plus in width, creating a slightly sleeker appearance aided by a wedge-shaped front fascia and unique &quot;lightning-bolt&quot; character line. Aside from being a design flourish, this character line also improves visibility for passengers in the third row of seats, who will also enjoy a greater amount of knee and shoulder room. Honda says three adults can sit back there, but we&#39;re thinking the middle spot&#39;s fold-down armrest will be utilized more frequently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2oYnPcJ3xQGCYJq7EGbQgYV79Ibxu1cOTKIdbHKWcXgkGPfd6uOUMHZdLruHlqJOONO6rPdd0uWp0YV9VOvFxRl5mX3ygsMKzyC2hBK4rdyTiU9WRyAhs2SQ3AZGqvrJJ_Jdux-vthzM/s1600/20340105-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2oYnPcJ3xQGCYJq7EGbQgYV79Ibxu1cOTKIdbHKWcXgkGPfd6uOUMHZdLruHlqJOONO6rPdd0uWp0YV9VOvFxRl5mX3ygsMKzyC2hBK4rdyTiU9WRyAhs2SQ3AZGqvrJJ_Jdux-vthzM/s400/20340105-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Honda Odyssey Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Minivans are renowned for setting themselves apart with never-before-seen features. Some, like the Odyssey&#39;s flip-and-fold third-row seat became an industry standard, while others, like the last Odyssey&#39;s middle-row Lazy Susan storage bin have been quickly forgotten. This time around, the Odyssey introduces a small refrigerated storage compartment beneath the center stack controls, a trash bag holder, second-row seats that shift laterally to make room for child seats and a wide-screen entertainment system with an HDMI input. The new Odyssey also improves upon previously introduced features, like a simplified process for lowering the third-row seat and an enlarged second-row removable middle seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOEKlRCgbdMXtwc3ym7Dlk5URkKrUERnk5p_rrYhZPYGdFq7Hm61lLyenkrkzMl3X8hob3MhlCq8p7uLB4pqt3JlLrS5K3SpewZZ8pkOSe21v8A3Wj3IN5FBUsmbI3ZfJbbCK5O-rrV8/s1600/20340101-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYOEKlRCgbdMXtwc3ym7Dlk5URkKrUERnk5p_rrYhZPYGdFq7Hm61lLyenkrkzMl3X8hob3MhlCq8p7uLB4pqt3JlLrS5K3SpewZZ8pkOSe21v8A3Wj3IN5FBUsmbI3ZfJbbCK5O-rrV8/s400/20340101-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Honda Odyssey Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Honda has not yet released full details about the 2011 Odyssey&#39;s powertrain, but we do know it will continue to only be available with front-wheel drive and a 3.5-liter V6. Honda&#39;s cylinder deactivation system is now standard on every Odyssey and fuel economy is estimated to be 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. This is a significant improvement versus the last Odyssey (especially those trims without cylinder deactivation) and better than the new Toyota Sienna&#39;s four- and six-cylinder engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqXBkydq9YTj1bWXAsYZ7t4tLSfViFPQwlud6FO4RLt4p_Ipca_ah6WvXxTfb_XotopOpmWPKYHfsU5WTatPZEDHBZyno3mDBsc7k_1p4zfU9S0MSKOtl18eWiV87_rsPF1e-IqplANQ/s1600/20340113-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqXBkydq9YTj1bWXAsYZ7t4tLSfViFPQwlud6FO4RLt4p_Ipca_ah6WvXxTfb_XotopOpmWPKYHfsU5WTatPZEDHBZyno3mDBsc7k_1p4zfU9S0MSKOtl18eWiV87_rsPF1e-IqplANQ/s400/20340113-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Honda Odyssey Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;More details about the 2011 Honda Odyssey will be coming soon, including available trims and equipment, as well as exact dimensions and specifications.

But Honda is hoping that people are ready for a car that not only gets very good fuel economy but also happens to be fun to drive -- a hybrid without the drive-induced narcolepsy, if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXJhWIpObySSCvBbBulWhru3SDPDndmTEU1aX4NPOfuNrP2FYm5xoKHvOQvAdwITY_Tp2LYGgKFXfo3QJNCIc5zSnGNkQVH7prCUaVjKlzxa4wQ_Y_y1gY95ecPcnL8pmtzzO9tv0-z10/s1600/20340181-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block;

For short trips up to 60 km, the Ampera will run only on lithium-ion battery power charged via a standard 230v outlet. For longer distances, the car will continue to drive on electricity that is generated by a small internal combustion engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ampera will be well-suited to the daily driving schedule of most European customers. For example, approximately 80 percent of German drivers travel less than 50 km daily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional information on the Opel Ampera will be released March 3 at the Geneva Motor Show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ho-RRPnKwdxkV0pCgULqjLXbAKKQSd1ERr1bvpQ_IqGDjFPIIqJ_4GVGD2sOOkSeAcEN3yGkDOp22jVEROdVRDCRAFcoPAt_2Ek2PddH0Qf_VWBUHNwEDaV079xuseCr9qUeHlq4LYs/s1600/2010-opel-ampera-interior-588x441.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ho-RRPnKwdxkV0pCgULqjLXbAKKQSd1ERr1bvpQ_IqGDjFPIIqJ_4GVGD2sOOkSeAcEN3yGkDOp22jVEROdVRDCRAFcoPAt_2Ek2PddH0Qf_VWBUHNwEDaV079xuseCr9qUeHlq4LYs/s400/2010-opel-ampera-interior-588x441.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Opel Ampera 2010&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://carpartners.blogspot.com/2010/11/opel-ampera-2010.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpKk4qNfDoiPP6UliLv9LVwCC7kUMyf6GVHb8bc891DzWNdid7j9hZpocQ4bgi3x0ewFbfAmlc9cQ3dDL7c_nHOvEelm4VdPlJLNc7KCqZEcg_aPb13GYO71GSrz9Ood_Y2iuDnrSeoQM/s72-c/2010-opel-ampera-front-angle-588x441.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563261660350819856.post-3950402076550424114</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Nov 2010 15:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-07T07:51:02.430-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mitsubishi</category><title>Mitsubishi Eclipse 2011 Vehicle Overview</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7orXyvL0oDkVDFc2OBGqe5I_vxfUfqv5LthvG_3wbp3v-iXrfKnmuharx5mY5_Id1ziHSrHoKovSUqKmaLuqwtw95vCAua9H-gtbcmnoGzYDix7a50AIAUIaU4oSlmFNhKi2kNSRpUA4/s1600/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329765-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7orXyvL0oDkVDFc2OBGqe5I_vxfUfqv5LthvG_3wbp3v-iXrfKnmuharx5mY5_Id1ziHSrHoKovSUqKmaLuqwtw95vCAua9H-gtbcmnoGzYDix7a50AIAUIaU4oSlmFNhKi2kNSRpUA4/s400/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329765-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mitsubishi Eclipse 2011 Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse coupe, however, just can&#39;t keep up with the latest sport coupes and hot hatches. Pros, Avant-garde styling, one of the few convertibles in its price range, powerful V6 in GT, comfortable front seats, relatively roomy cargo area. Cons, Poor outward visibility with convertible, sluggish acceleration with GS models, torque steer with GT, small backseat, no telescoping wheel, lackluster interior quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The dearth of similarly priced convertibles makes the Eclipse Spyder  worth a look. The base 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse gets a price reduction for 2011 and standard alloy wheels. Heated leather front seats and a power driver seat are now standard on the GS Sport. The GT can no longer be had with a manual transmission. All Eclipse coupes get a blacked-out roof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Powertrains and Performance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse is front-wheel drive. GS models are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 162 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The GS comes standard with a five-speed manual, while a four-speed automatic is optional on the GS and standard on the GS Sport. Estimated fuel economy with the automatic is 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Eclipse GT gets a 3.6-liter V6 good for 265 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed automatic is standard. This engine requires premium fuel and its estimated fuel economy is 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6mwhwqS8E_qin9nluT6KyGXRm9UAfRnwqGye8IcdM0A0PqdJlCC0awU8maAb5xVUHpezXaor6E2r_nwn41sS8yZ6nZih0KOAatWcSDu0mXT21FY0FurDV8L8iPuMDdTK4zQPSYwkVcFw/s1600/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329759-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6mwhwqS8E_qin9nluT6KyGXRm9UAfRnwqGye8IcdM0A0PqdJlCC0awU8maAb5xVUHpezXaor6E2r_nwn41sS8yZ6nZih0KOAatWcSDu0mXT21FY0FurDV8L8iPuMDdTK4zQPSYwkVcFw/s400/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329759-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mitsubishi Eclipse 2011 Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Safety&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2011 Eclipse comes standard with four-wheel antilock brakes, stability control and front seat side airbags.

The GT&#39;s V6 produces plenty of power, but getting all those horses to the pavement can often result in a large dose of wheelspin and torque steer. In contrast to the V6, the four-cylinder struggles with the Eclipse&#39;s heavy curb weight -- acceleration with the smaller engine could best be described as anemic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another item of contention would be the large turning circle, which necessitates many more multiple-point turns than with other vehicles. Overall handling should satisfy most drivers, but those with an appetite for performance would likely find inspiration in any number of competing sport coupes or hatchbacks. The Spyder exhibits a little more chassis flex over bumps than we&#39;d like, but it&#39;s not enough to spoil an otherwise enjoyable driving experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluaAxJTc55CZ-7XqlPgloepnufSO1rWX34052c_X9EysvKav0qU0EtjHMD3i-sHy0_Debv7jDWGD_speFNDEI-WYgVPYOsgHrttYLTfJAoRJKfkbjNKfB6yQabWjk70WvaDx3muee1Mc/s1600/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329768-E.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgluaAxJTc55CZ-7XqlPgloepnufSO1rWX34052c_X9EysvKav0qU0EtjHMD3i-sHy0_Debv7jDWGD_speFNDEI-WYgVPYOsgHrttYLTfJAoRJKfkbjNKfB6yQabWjk70WvaDx3muee1Mc/s400/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329768-E.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mitsubishi Eclipse 2011 Vehicle Overview&quot; title=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://carpartners.blogspot.com/2010/11/mitsubishi-eclipse-2011-vehicle.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7orXyvL0oDkVDFc2OBGqe5I_vxfUfqv5LthvG_3wbp3v-iXrfKnmuharx5mY5_Id1ziHSrHoKovSUqKmaLuqwtw95vCAua9H-gtbcmnoGzYDix7a50AIAUIaU4oSlmFNhKi2kNSRpUA4/s72-c/2011.mitsubishi.eclipse.20329765-E.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563261660350819856.post-7311825761938614747</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Nov 2010 15:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-07T07:49:22.466-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mercedes-Benz</category><title>Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG Black Saphir</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YhKwbKZVq5OmdbO_GdRLfhpOVXzoryLCZT7-X7olLI7gBC1pl_GCMPJo6MzHvDAU8a-p1sZ8rhM8t3dYvOdNYYoUiXiuGDwYUWfnldvt_S9tLcrsmVDxY2kUN1l-HNuAFr2BFfFxXUQ/s1600/2010-INDEN-Design-Mercedes-Benz-SL-63-AMG-Black-Saphir-Front-Angle-Top-Up-View-588x392.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YhKwbKZVq5OmdbO_GdRLfhpOVXzoryLCZT7-X7olLI7gBC1pl_GCMPJo6MzHvDAU8a-p1sZ8rhM8t3dYvOdNYYoUiXiuGDwYUWfnldvt_S9tLcrsmVDxY2kUN1l-HNuAFr2BFfFxXUQ/s400/2010-INDEN-Design-Mercedes-Benz-SL-63-AMG-Black-Saphir-Front-Angle-Top-Up-View-588x392.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG Black Saphir&quot; title=&quot;Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG Black Saphir&quot; border=&quot;MY CAR MY PARTNERS&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The INDEN-Design &lt;a href=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Mercedes-Benz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://carpartners.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt; SL 63 AMG Black Saphir&lt;/a&gt; body kit has a value of 19.900 euro for additional 3,500 euros you can get a hood, for 800 euros the tail diffuser in carbon and for 999 euros a front Flap of PE in addition.
