After a long period of time and a lot of  spy photos, it was announced: Ferrari 458 Italia. The car is powered by a new direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 pumping out 560 horsepower at 9.000 rpm. The car name, 458 comes from the engine 4.5-leter V8, not a very inspired name in my opinion. Like all Ferraris, it’s a fast car that can reach 62 mph(100 kmh) in 3,4 seconds. With an aluminum structure, like its predecessor it`s not a heavy car with an weight of 1380 kg.

The top speed is worthy for super car, 202 mph (325 kmh). First, the car was codenamed F142, than f450 and now it`s called 458. Speaking about technical specifications, we have some dimensions: length 4527mm, width 1937mm, height 1213, wheelbase 2650mm. The gearbox is dual-clutch, seven-speed F1.

With an aerodynamic shape and a great design, this car will be the next generation of Ferraris.

Official BMW sources announced that the bavarian car company is working on a bold project mainly focused on developing a ‘green’, environmental-friendly sportscar. The model, known as the  Z10, is going to be produced as a limited version, and the technology used will be implemented in all of BMW’s future models. The Z10 is basically BMW’s response to the Audi R8, and quite frankly, with BMW’s history, it will probably top Audi’s golden ghild. The supercar will have an impressive, aggressive, look and will be a pure,aluminium and carbon fiber speed demon.

The lightweight elements used in the construction of the car are said to bring it down to an impressive 1.100 kilograms,making it even lighter than the Lamborghini Gallardo. Let’s focus on power.  Supercars are known particularly for their powerful engines and obscene top speeds.

The Z10 does not let us down- it’s V10 turbocharged 5.0 liter engine, adapted from the M6, offers 550 bhp. That power to weight ratio is more than enough to keep you glued to your seat while you’re accelerating up to 312 km/h, the vehicle’s top speed. Impressed yet ? No ? Well listen to this- the naughty Z10 can reach 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. BMW has adapted a lot of Formula 1 technology into the supercar,making it nothing short of super. So there you have it. The Z10. Direct and head-on competitor with the R8, the F430 and the Gallardo. An extraordinary machine delivering brutal power refined through F1 technology, into a nice aluminium,magnesium and carbon fiber,road devouring package.

Audi, the company that showed the world how a truly stylish SUV is made, is announcing it’s newest creation : the Q7 2010. The company came out strong three years ago with an aesthetic, beautiful, powerful and sporty looking SUV – the Q7 and was immediately a huge success.

The 2010 Q7, however, is nothing groundbraking.The company,simply put, has made a number of modifications,both in terms of performance,and looks. The car has also seen some improvement on it’s MPG consumption, something SUV’s are not exactly famous for. The new Q7 has received numerous upgrades, such as aluminium parts,  making it a bit lighter; it’s front side has been redesigned, giving it a meaner, yet cleaner look. New LED front and tail lights provide a futuristic look to the car.Front and back sections were also modified, but the car remains essentially the same.  Audi offers its customers four new colors to choose from, thus the potential buyer may pick from a total of 11 finishes.

Having a SUV brings loads of advantages, besides punching nature in the face- the car has a lot of space to offer,and we mean a LOT: 2000 liters of space, to be exact. Comfort is not an issue, with Audi’s new child delivering state-of-the art suspension systems, with three setting levels :comfort, automatic, and dynamic. This means you’ll never have a rough ride, no matter where you go.

Audi gives a multitude of choices when speaking in terms of power.The 3.0 TDI engine delivers about 241 bhp, which is the smallest engine, then we have the 4.2 liter TDI version offers an impressive 340 bhp, while the biggest version, the cherry on top, the absolute monster is the V12, 6.0 liter TDI, punching in at a staggering 500 bhp. Audi has given some impressive technical data about this bad boy :  1000 Nm torque, a top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph) , and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds. Not bad at all, for an SUV. And it does all that, with a fuel consumption of 11 l/ 100 km.( 21 MpG). In case you didn’t know, this is the world’s most powerful TDI engine.

Audi,while bringing nothing new to the table, has made some impressive changes in it’s upcoming model, delivering and impressive, sporty, fuel-efficient(in suv terms),high performance, and stylish SUV.  All in all, we are seeing a facelift that will probably be successful, in a world and time where SUV’s  are decreasing in popularity.
