Porsche 918 RSR


Porsche reveals the latest weapon in their arsenal, the 918 RSR at the North American International Auto Show. This car packs a punch, a lot of it. It has a 563 BHP gas engine and an electric motor that take it to another level, 767 BHP. This is really not a Prius.

Top Gear America


As you've noticed, Top Gear America has just been recently aired and I noticed that it has its own highs and lows. First of all, I kinda liked it. Although their not that funny as the original trio are, but, they have their own way of putting a smile on my face.

They don't have that sense of being friends for a long time unlike the originals have. I guess that's because the show's young. I'll just have to give them a little more time.

Furthermore, I am really dissapointed that they don't do the news portion. I'm sure America has a lot of things going on as far as cars are concerned but why won't they share it. I think that "The News" should be on the show because it's very informative.

Overall, the show has a lot going on for a duration of an hour. I expect them to be good and they are, differently. I don't see them to be as great as the original but they are good.

Ferrari 458 Italia


Settle down folks. Worry no more, if you are a huge fan of the Ferrari F430 and is mourning for its death. The glimpse of the new Ferrari 458 Italia has now arrived. It's a mid-engined beast with a new 4.5-litre direct injection V8 putting out – ready for this? – 562bhp. It is unbelievably fast and quick. It can reach speeds of about 202mph and it has 0-60mph time in under 3.4 seconds. It also has a new gearbox which was derived from the Ferrari California.

New Audi A8


Here's the new Audi A8, or at least its headlight.

Audi recently released the teaser sketch of the Audi A8 which is coming into production next year. It's just a sketch but it's pretty damn good-looking.

Jaguar XFR


The 2010 Jaguar XFR has now arrived. TopGear hosts says that it will surely be a huge threat to the BMW M5. This new addition to the sport saloons will definitely shake the saloon world. The new Jag has a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 with 510bhp and a 0-62mph time under five seconds (4.9 to be exact). The XFR is capable of speeds like 198mph but it's limited to 155mph. Sad ,but still, it's sure is quite a lot.

Honda FCX Clarity

Everyday, I remind myself of what kind of fuel cars will be run a few or let's say 50 or a 100 years from now. Will it be light? Alcohol, perhaps, or some fancy stuff from aliens? Who knows?

I was a bit relieved when I saw an episode of TopGear wherein they tested the new Honda FCX Clarity. It was a four-door sedan which produces 134 Break Horsepower. I saw a hero in-the-making. I saw the messiah of the internal-combustion-engine powered cars.

The New Lamborghini Murcielago


The Lamborghini Murciélago is one of the most extraordinary super sports cars of all time. Automobili Lamborghini has now expanded its model range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model - the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murciélago LP 640. With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp and a weight reduction of 100 kg (220 lbs), the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs) per hp. This catapults it from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds and powers it on to a top speed of around 342 km/h (212 mph). Distinctive design refinements ensure that each of this 350-unit limited edition series conveys its full potential from the very first glance.

With its outstanding performance, razor-sharp precision and exceptional high-speed stability, the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is the ultimate performance car for advanced sports car drivers. The super sports car has been extensively redesigned with a new front and rear, an innovative engine bonnet and a choice of two aerodynamic set-ups featuring either a small or large rear spoiler.
