A decade in the automotive industry is like the passing of the Mesozoic era; a lot changes. In 2001, Hyundais were questionable and Toyota was infallible. Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Plymouth existed. Scion did not. So it may come as a bit of a surprise that it's been 10 years since Volvo pulled an all-new S60 out of the oven. With the exception of an ornery transmission and navigation system, the 2011 S60 was worth the wait. Volvos have always been long on safety and (with a few exceptions) short on sporty. The company knew that if it was intent on positioning the S60 as competitive against the segment's leading performers like the Audi A4 and BMW 3 series, engineers were going to have to channel their inner Emeril Lagasse and "kick it up a notch." To wit, the engine in the S60 T6 all-wheel drive I tested (base price is $38,550) was a three-liter, turbo-charged six-cylinder gem that pumps out 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The power comes on smooth, the tur

LOOKING at the Audi e-tron sports car, you'd hardly be surprised to learn that it can go from 0 to 100kmh in under five seconds. But this fact might surprise you - it runs completely on batteries. The concept car, which was on display at the Clean Energy Expo Asia last week, is the first electric vehicle the German carmaker has built from scratch. It will likely cost more than the Tesla Roadster, another battery-powered sports car also displayed at the expo. But wait. Aren't electric vehicles usually fuddy-duddy golf cart lookalikes that are more suited for grocery shopping than the race track? Mr Martin Freudenhagen, head of Audi's Project Management Electrification A-Sequment, doesn't think so. He told The New Paper: "People think that electric cars are boring. We want to show that it's possible to create an electric car that delivers the performance and excitement of a sports car." Though still in the concept phase - limited production of the e-tron is

Three new models of the new DB9 are going to join the lineup of Aston Martin products. The event would be best labeled as a sports car bonanza. The names of the three models to come have been decided and are “Carbon Black”, “Quantum Silver” and “Morning Frost”. The cars would be available in coupe or convertible design. The design of the Morning Frost model gives it a luxury car look and feel. It has a pearl white color as paint job and has silver for grille and brake calipers. The interior is done up with a center console that is piano Black in color scheme. The stitching is of silver color and there is polished glass switchgear along with bronze leather trim. For the Carbon Black model and the quantum Silver one, the makers have given it an aggressive look and touch as the model is leaning more towards the sports model. They even sport a blacked out grille and a sportier exhaust system with graphite tail pipes. For wheels the cars come with two sets of 10 spoke 19 inch alloys for the

Cadillac, and that should say it all, but does it? Pushed by a 469 horsepower supercharged dual overhead cam 4.4 liter V8, the STS-V is lighting fast. Yet it's nowhere near the fastest car in its class, a distinction held by the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. The STS-V uses a six speed automatic transmission with "manual shift" capability, but no true manual transmission is available. That's surprising for a high performance car. The exterior appointments and the mostly leather and wood interior give the single trim model of the STS-V the high quality feel that you expect from a Cadillac, but again there are disappointments. Perhaps the best looking car in its class, the front seat ride is fine and the handling is everything you would expect from a Cadillac sports sedan. However, the back seat is a bit cramped. While the trunk is large enough, the trunk opening is not. Of course, like any Cadillac, the STS-V comes standard with lots of amenities. Those not standard can be ord

MAYBACH MODELS, the most expensive car,luxury car , 2011 MAYBACH photo gallery Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH (IPA:[ˈmaɪ.bax]) (founded 1909) is a German luxury car manufacturer. It was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach with his son Karl Maybach as director. The company was originally a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH and was itself known as "Luftfahrzeug-Motoreinbau GmbH" (literally "Airship Engine Company") until 1918. Today, the brand is owned by Daimler AG and based in Stuttgart. 1909-1940: EARLY HISTORY Maybach has historic roots through the involvement of Wilhelm Maybach, who was the technical director of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. The company originally developed and manufactured diesel and gas engines for Zeppelins, and then rail cars. The company first built an experimental car in 1919, with the first production model introduced two years later at the Berlin Motor Show. Between 1921 and 1940, the company produced various classic op

Looking back on the past decade of sportscar racing, there have been many iconic prototype and GT cars that helped shape the era that was filled with close competition and technological innovation. While Audi will be remembered for its R8 prototype, arguably considered the most successful LMP car of its time, and later conquering Le Mans with diesel-powered machines, the German manufacturers’ sister brand, arguably boasting an even deeper racing pedigree, also left a significant mark in the 2000s. Seven years since fielding a factory prototype in sportscar competition, Porsche returned to the LMP ranks with an all-new contender in 2005. While many expected the RS Spyder, Porsche’s first purpose-built prototype since the GT1-98, to raise the bar in the evolving LMP2 category, not many could have predicted the level of success it actually achieved. Porsche engineers Roland Kussmaul and Owen Hayes were instrumental in the RS Spyder's success as well. (Photo: Porsche Cars North America
