Audi A8 is preparing an amazing version of A8 (probably called RS8). The new model will be powered by a 5.5 liter V12 engine with an maximum output of 550 hp and 811 lbs-ft of torque.
a limousine with these characteristics appears rather anachronistic (without limiter and with the long relationships it would become, probably, one partner of the club of the 400 timetables!). That does not remove that an equipped street car with a motor from winning race to the Mans is one proposed (...)

The pattern of ‘clustering’ most frequently occurs with upper midsize cars like the Acura Integra, which accounts for eight of the top 25 most stolen vehicles. The Integra, along with the
Suzuki Aerio (positions 12 and 13 on the list), are also part of a trend among what is commonly referred to as ‘tuner’ cars. These cars are popular with street racers, who look for vehicles packing a powerful motor in a lightweight and efficient package.
Perhaps most surprising is (...

Audi’s new A8 will meet strong competition on its introduction. In the same year,

One of the world’s most modern eight-cylinder engines is now available for the
Audi A6 and A8 model lines. The 4.2 FSI, closely related to the high-revving V8 in the Audi RS 4, develops considerably more power than its 335 bhp predecessor. With the aid of petrol direct injection, it now generates 350 bhp (257 kW). And at the same time, its fuel consumption is around 10 percent lower. The immense power of the eight-cylinder engine is transferred via 6-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro (...

This is not quite a news. Just something I found this days while surfing the net. It’s about a very rich sheik and his unique car, a silver car. And no, it’s not about the colour. Simply the car it’s made out of silver.
The weight was almost tripled and it required special tires to support the load as well as all of the "Shock Absorber System". How long do you think this would last in the 5th ward of Houston, Texas to avoid a "Car Jacking"?
Amazing what 2.75$ a gallon gas can buy, isn’t (...)
