Thanks to a Roots-type Eaton supercharger bolted to its all-new, cast-aluminum engine block, the special 5.4-liter four-valve V8 delivers 550 horsepower and 510 lb.–ft. of torque at 6,200 rpm!! The engine also is 102 pounds lighter than the 2010 model,.

Other interesting features:
• 19-inch wheels live up front while 20-inch wheels work from the back
• Tremec six-speed manual transmission
• limited-slip rear differential with 3.55 performance gear ratio
• engine uses state-of-the-art Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) liner coating
• Brembo four-piston front brake calipers and 14-inch vented rotors
• Standard HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps
• MyKey™ programmable vehicle key
• Integrated spotter mirror
• Fold-down rear headrests

In my opinion- the model looks awesome. this is the GT500 I was hoping to see when the last model came out. An improved GT engine that's 102 lbs lighter with better fuel economy and finally an option for a "real" performance suspension, but what do you think?
Do you think that this model has a chance to be sold out;) in a green and eco-friendly world?

Audi A6 as been the bestselling car in its class globally for the last several years.

The new A6 was revealed at the end of 2010. In the world of new mid-size executive saloons, there has been a ton of activity and new model roll outs. The new 2010 Mercedes E-Class and 2011 BMW 5-Series and the all-new 2011 Infiniti M sedan made already a huge impact on the mid-size executive saloons market.

Here we have few features which will help the A6 to become more compete in this new world of mid-size saloons:
• LED day headlights,
• the same bumpers used in the A5
• new air intakes
• first to Receive New Aluminium Steel Space Frame

• top speed limited to 155 mph, will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 6 seconds.

I think that 6 seconds that’s pretty good performance. The Audi A6 continues a legacy of dynamic excellence and exceptional comfort, with impressive attention to detail both inside and out. Being packed with technology that enhances convenience and driving dynamics, the A6 model might stay the bestselling car...

The Renault Wind was originally concept car and it was first introduced at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show as a 2+1 roadster. The new version of its latest model will be unveiled also in Geneva, next month.

Renault Wind is aimed at motorists who lust after a car that is not only distinctive and compact, but also convertible yet practical enough for everyday use.

The main feature is a novel electric roof that pivots open in just 12 seconds. Engine choices will include an entry-level 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 100bhp. This promises 0-60mph in 11 seconds. A more powerful 1.6-litre will deliver 128bhp, and complete the sprint in nine seconds. Both models should be capable of returning at least 40mpg, and they promise low CO2 emissions, too.

The Wind will go on sale in the UK in June – just in time for summer with a starting price of around £17,000.

The Shark Concept by Kazim Doku reinterprets the Audi's design language in a futuristic way. It placed first in the Desire Design Competition launched in 2008 by Italian Domus Academy. While the Shark may wear the four ring Audi badge, it’s not a car but a hovercraft. Still, you can see some familiar elements of Walter de’Silva’s signauture style, something Doku told us he tried to emulate when designing the Shark.

The styling borrows elements from the R8, TT and S5, and looks thoroughly Audi right down to the LED lighting. A front-hinged canopy and air foils replacing the wheels are straight out of sci-fi, though...

I need to say that I really like it. Looks like it came out of Star Wars. I'm only curious when that kind of cars become a normality on our roads- I mean sky?

British has their MINI, the Italians have the Fiat 500 and now the French have the DS3...

Citroen claims the DS3 is more practical than both its rivals and makes a stronger style statement. The car maker will base an aggressive ad campaign, starting next month, around the theme of “anti-retro”. The unusual ads will feature film clips of John Lennon and Marilyn Monroe criticising the very idea of nostalgia.

Perhaps the most striking details on the DS3 are its ‘floating’ roof – available in black, white, red and blue – and the ‘shark fin’ B-pillar, the upper portion of which is overlapped by the rear windows. It will be available with a range of two diesel and three petrol engines. Both diesels emit less than 115g/km of CO2 while the petrol motors produce between 136g/km and 160g/km.

The 285-litre boot and a 60:40 split rear bench ensure that the DS3 surpasses its target rivals. The DS3 will go on sale in spring 2010, priced from around £12,500.

Volvo released a new driving video of its upcoming sedan yesterday.

The Volvo S60 can be equipped with Pedestrian Detection - a groundbreaking safety feature that can detect pedestrians in front of the car and brake automatically if the driver does not react in time.

Volvo omitted any interior shots, so we'll just have to wait for the S60's debut in Geneva for a glimpse inside.

In the meantime, make the jump for the video.
The new model will go to production summer 2010 this year.

The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car that was originally manufactured in Northern Ireland by the DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981-1982.

It is most commonly known simply as the DeLorean, as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The DMC-12 featured gull-wing doors with a fiberglass "underbody", to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels were affixed.

A modified version of the car became iconic for its appearance as a time machine in the Back to the Future film franchise, however a spectacular mirror finish to put the previous version of that car to shame.

The idea comes from John McCarty, Delorean-owner, who wanted to polish his car to a mirror finish and spent about forty hours per panel hand polishing the cars stainless body panels to ultimate perfection. He started with 400 grit wet sandpaper and went all the way diamond polishing paste. Awesome!!!!

This is absolutely amazing Mercedes AMG advert! I have actually goose bumps when I watch it:) Its rather hard to believe that was real ;) but holy crap that was sweet! I like the SLS more and more!

There is no doubt that Mercedes-Benz is really proud of its new SLS AMG supercar!

In addition to the G Sport Series FT-86 and Prius at the Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota revealed a concept based on the third generation MR-S (ZZW30). This odd looking roadster is based on the rear-drive MR2 Spyder last sold in the U.S. in 2005. T

Toyota and Gazoo Racing have stuffed the company's 3.3-liter V6 up front (the production MR2 had 1.8-liter I4, you'll remember) along with an electric motor. The latter drives the front wheels, while the V6 motivates the rears through a continuously variable transmission (CVT).. Oh yeah, the MR2 Sports Hybrid Concept is all-wheel drive, and between the two mills, it's churning out over 400 horsepower through a continuously variable transmission and will go to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds!!

A teaser shot of what is said to be the Kia Ray concept car has made its way onto the interwebs.

Not much is known about the concept but this official teaser sketch shows some details, revealing a sporty fastback profile, a panoramic glass sunroof, some very muscular haunches and what appears to be LED detailing on the rear tail-lamp assembly.

The sporty-shaped sedan was penned at Kia's American design studio and it's supposed to hint at a possible design direction for a plug-in hybrid vehicle.

As for the Kia Ray, it seems we’ll have to wait until the 2010 Chicago Auto Show before we’ll know more about what the Korean carmaker has in store...
