Porsche to Launch High Performance Panamera GTS 2010 2011

Porsche Panamera Diesel ? Ok, but why they not put the mighty 6.0 V12 500 HP engine from Audi Q7 in this 4-door coupe ? I think that this motor, even it's a heavy machine, will fit ok in the Porsche reputation. I'd have to agree, this wouldn't make sense at all following tradition, the Turbo S is always above the Turbo. I figured they would build a GTS but thought it would be in line with the Cayenne GTS. Who's to say, as much as I love Porsche, I have to question their ideas at times. Only problem is, every time I question them, they prove me wrong... So far anyways. I just hope they bring a manual trans over to N.A. so it will at least be an option for some! PDK only? This means the GTS will likely boast more than 500 horsepower, which should enable it to beat the 4.0 second 0-60 mph time of the Panamera Turbo. The GTS is also expected to ditch the Turbo's heavy air suspension system, in favor of traditional coil springs.

According to Autocar, Porsche is also considering a diesel-powered Panamera. If such a model were to be built, it would likely adopt a modified version of the Cayenne's 240 bhp 3.0-liter V6 or the Audi A8's 322 bhp 4.2-liter V8.

New Sportec SPR1 M 2009 2010 full details released

One word: Beautiful! That right there, ladies and gents, happens to be my dream car! The very definition of a no nonsense sports car (minus the exotic flare) where form meets function while managing to staying in line with it's heritage. Pardon me for just one moment, but I must say... ahem... Porsche rules! While based on the Porsche 997 the SPR1 T80 will most certainly show the factory unit its massive rear spoiler should it come to that. Using the 3.6-litre bi-turbo flat six, SPORTEC went to the workshop with something making around 350kW (476hp) and came out with a 640kW (858bhp) hurricane. The maximum torque is 870Nm at 4,800rpm and is split within all four wheels via the 6-speed manual gearbox.
Full use of the launch control system that includes a limited slip differential sees the car leap from 0 - 62mph in 3 seconds flat, with the 300km/h indicator coming up in just 18.9 seconds and the top speed is more than 380km/h. This was achieved at Nardo in Italy.I'm also thinking how many more 911 tuning packages can there be?? Is there really such a big market for them? To be honest, if I would have money for a GT2, I wouldn't do any tuning. Wheels would be the maximum.
But of all the tuning packages I saw until now, this is one of the best!

Audi Sportback 2010 Concept official details, photos and video

Why are the postponing the models? So if they are production-ready, putting it in the fridge and take it out a year later, wouldn't that kinda be a disadvantage to the designs, technologies, and whatever else considered "new" and might not be so new a year later? This is just gorgeous! Awesome job by Audi, that tail reminds me of some great cars from the past. CLS was (and still is) striking, but let's give Audi the kudos it deserves for creating such a beautiful concept!oh yeah, the white dash looks really lovely but in the production model it's probably gonna be toned down to dark brown or black... because white won't be good when you try to see through the windscreen on a sunny day. the A7 has been moved back by a year and will only appear on showroom floors towards the end of 2010. The car will share some design elements with the A5 Sportback but is positioned higher than that. Effectively it will compete with cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLS, the Porsche Panamera and the Aston Martin Rapide.
Shaped like a coupe in the sense that it features a narrow window line and a coupe-like roof line, the A7 is unlike conventional sports coupes because, like the aforementioned cars it has four entry doors and not two. It also only has sitting space for four adults instead of five.
Engines said to have made the cut include the new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 used in the A6 and the S4/S5, as well as V8s. We reckon a 550hp-plus RS 7 would not be out of place in the company of rivals like the Panamera Turbo and the CLS 63 AMG.

New Nissan Murano 2009 2010 Reviews and Specification

Overview
In a world of nothing new, something new. A sporty design that combines real street presence with a relaxed ’let’s do it’ attitude. The comfort and refinement of a premium sedan. The soul of a big-engine sports car. And road-grabbing, go anywhere All-Mode 4WD. All combined in a vehicle that’s different. Original. Inspiring.
Far in advance, the new Murano is evolution on wheels. Better to drive and be driven in. Equipped for anything. Admired everywhere.
Inspired and Inspiring
The Murano combines height with a wide, stable stance. Its body flows tightly around confident wheel arches and big 18" alloy wheels, giving a clear hint at the gripping drive that awaits you. Bi-Xenon headlights and twin exhausts emphasise its bold design.
Inspired thinking has fashioned the details too. The tailgate is made of a strong yet lightweight composite material so it’s easy to lift, and the doors cover the sills, ensuring that your clothes stay clean when you step on board. Just another thoughtful extra that makes the Murano stand out, wherever it is.
Unprecedented Design
It takes seconds to feel at home in the new Murano. Imagine the sheer indulgence of heated front seats. Add an electric powered driver’s seat and electric door mirrors. The steering wheel incorporates remote controls for audio and Cruise Control, and the multi-speaker BOSE CD audio system includes a sub-woofer for impressive bass reproduction.
The Murano is as intelligent as it is elegant. The rear sill is low for easy loading and the back seats fold down with an effortless pull of two levers, creating a large flat space. The centre console is deep enough to hold your laptop, and there’s another concealed storage area under the boot floor. There’s also a useful sunglasses holder and various other clever storage areas, and the front door pockets expand outwards for bulky items.
Functionality has not compromised luxury. Front and rear legroom and shoulder room are amongst the best in its class, and even the rear passengers have the ability to recline their leather seats for a relaxing journey.
Climate control is standard, and for extra fresh air, there’s a tilt and slide electronic sunroof. The Murano was designed for life, and with it, life is good.

Power-assisted speed-sensitive rack and pinion steering responds positively to your input, bringing reassuring agility to the handling, so you can enjoy sweeping curves and tight bends with equal enthusiasm. The sport-tuned, independent suspension minimises body roll and provides a smooth, stable ride.
