Ferrari California - 2dr Conv

Ferrari California - 2dr Conv
The 2010 Ferrari California is a throwback to one of the all-time great Ferraris-the 250 GT California Spyder. But the similarities end there. The new California is the first retractable hardtop the company has ever offered, and the entire package offers owners all the benefits of a nimble grand tourer and a top-down cruiser.

As with any Ferrari, the heart of the California is its powerplant. In this case it is a high-revving 4.3-liter V8 mounted in a front-midship design, which places the unit as close to the center of the car as possible and allows for optimum weight distribution. The twin-overhead-cam engine utilizes direct fuel injection for increased efficiency--a Ferrari first, and power is rated at 460 hp and 357 ft-lb of torque. The only transmission offered is a 7-speed, F1-inspired, dual-clutch, fully automated manual with launch control, which is activated by paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel.

The California's suspension is all aluminum, with double wishbones up front, while the rear is an all-new multi-link design. With all that power and handling, stopping is achieved thanks to carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes.

Ferrari 599 GTO

Ferrari 599 GTO
The engine itself has been modified from the factory vehicle with friction reducing components as well as a redesigned crankshaft and new new intake system to make all 670-hp at 8250 rpm, while a total of 457 ft-lbs of torque is available at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims a 0-62 mph time of 3.35 seconds and a top speed in excess of 208-mph. Helping to achieve quicker acceleration is a reprogrammed six-speed F1 transmission with 60 ms shift times and the ability to drop several gears at a time.

Ferrari engineers also focused on weight reduction, dropping the GT car’s curb weight to 3,538 lbs. Along with lighter bodywork, including thinner aluminum panels, the GTO also gets thinner glass, a lighter exhaust and transmission and an even lighter second-generation carbon ceramic brake setup.

New aerodynamic improvements were also made resulting in improved downforce but no more drag. New ducting around the wheels reduces drag, as do wheel doughnuts. A new front lip creates more downforce at the front axle, while new side skirts help streamline airflow under the body. It’s also hard to miss the new racing-style rear diffuser.
Ferrari 599 GTO
Suspension improvements have also been made with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar, as well as a second-generation magnetorheological suspension control system (SCM2). More importantly, Ferrari says the SCM2 setup works with a tighter steering ratio, VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) and the updated F1-Trac traction control systems to be incredibly responsive to inputs.

Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited overviews

Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited overviews 2010Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited overviews 2010
  • MSRP Range: $17,795 - $24,550
  • Fuel Economy: 21 MPG city / 25 MPG highway
  • Seating capacity: 5
  • Basic Warranty:
    Basic: 3 Years/36,000 Miles
    • Drivetrain: 5 Years/100,000 Miles
    • (fully transferable with no fee)
    • Corrosion: 5 Years/100,000 Miles
    • Emissions: 2 Years/24,000 Miles
    • Roadside Assistance: 3 Years/36,000 Miles
 
The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited  very boxy exterior helps provide an extremely roomy, useful interior. The front seats have a more car-like position than Jeep's other models, but they command a good view of the road. Seating is also comfortable in back, with adequate legroom and plenty of headroom, though there's barely enough width to fit three adults across; up-level models get a reclining seatback. For cargo versatility, the back seats fold forward flat and increase the dimensions of the remarkably convenient, box-shaped cargo area. The front passenger seat can also fold all the way forward to act as a table or to make room for especially long cargo.

Sport and Limited trims are offered with either front- or 4-wheel drive. The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited    includes all the safety equipment but is otherwise very basic-manual wind-up windows are standard-but it does include air conditioning, a rear defroster and a 4-speaker CD sound system. Limited models make a huge jump and pile on the comforts like heated leather seats, cruise control, keyless entry, an auxiliary power outlet and an upgraded sound system-in addition to 4-wheel disc brakes and alloy wheels.

The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited  has a wider range of options than is expected from a vehicle that starts at well under $20,000. An especially noteworthy option is the ?UConnect tunes' system, which includes a 30-gigabyte hard drive for storage of music and pictures; the system can read CDs, DVDs or USB memory sticks. Another system called ?UConnect GPS,' optional only on the Limited, includes a hands-free phone interface and voice-activated commands, plus real-time traffic information for the navigation system.

  • MSRP Range: $17,795 - $24,550 
  • Fuel Economy: 21 MPG city / 25 MPG highway 
  • Seating capacity: 5 
  • Basic Warranty:
    • Basic: 3 Years/36,000 Miles

    • Corrosion: 5 Years/100,000 Miles

    • Emissions: 2 Years/24,000 Miles

    • Roadside Assistance: 3 Years/36,000 Miles


The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Sport  shares much of its mechanical components with both the Jeep Compass and the Dodge Caliber, including a layout that's much more car-like than any of Jeep's larger models. With a MacPherson strut front suspension and rear multi-link setup, quick-ratio rack-and-pinion steering and a very manageable 174 inches of total length, the Patriot is very maneuverable.

With either of the Patriot's two 4-cylinder engine offerings under the hood, the Patriot is reasonably energetic on the road while also returning decent fuel economy. The base front-wheel-drive Sport models can be equipped with a 158-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, but also available on the Sport as well as standard on the rest of the lineup is a 172-hp, 2.4-liter four cylinder.

The 2.0-liter Sport comes mated to either a 5-speed manual or to a continuously variable automatic transmission. With the 2.4-liter, a 5-speed manual transmission is standard and the CVT is optional. The combination of the 2.4-liter engine and 5-speed manual returns the best fuel economy, of 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway.

Although the Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Sport  is the most car-like Jeep, it doesn't forget about its off-road roots. Three different drivetrain configurations are offered: front-wheel drive, Freedom Drive I and Freedom Drive II. Freedom Drive I is an active all-wheel drive system that sends more power to the rear wheels when it's needed for traction; it also has a Lock mode for deep snow or mud. For those who plan to do occasional off-roading, there's the Freedom II Off-Road Package, which brings a 19:1 low range gearing for the CVT, plus skid plates, a full-size spare, all-terrain tires, tow hooks, fog lamps and an engine oil cooler. With the package, the Patriot sits an inch higher than the other models, for a full nine inches of ground clearance, plus 19-inch water fording capability and better approach/departure angles than many more truck-like SUVs.

nteresting review here of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder.

To help it stand apart from the regular Spyder the LP560-4 Gallardo gains new daytime running lights, rear LED lamps and a subtlety reshaped rear diffuser that hints at some significant retuned aerodynamics to improve high-speed stability.

The new Spyder is also some 20kgs lighter than the standard roadster, while under the bonnet in comes a larger direct injection 5.2-litre V10 that boasts 552bhp and helps the small Lamborghini storm from standstill to 62mph in just 4.0s while topping out at 201mph.

Lamborghini Gallardo - 2dr LP560-4 Conv Spyder 2010
As well as the added performance the new engine is 18% less polluting, with a similar reduction in the Gallardo's fuel consumption, but when this is on a car that costs £149,500 we doubt the expected target audience will notice. Instead, they will be far too busy experiencing one of the most intoxicating automotive experiences money can buy.

Having a car Lamborghini Gallardo - 2dr LP550-2 Valentino Balboni as prestigious and iconic as a Lamborghini created in your name means that you more than likely did something monumental in your life to deserve it. Valentino Balboni was a huge asset to Lamborghini through his 40 years of work. He began working for Ferrucio Lamborghini in 1967 as an assistant test driver alongside driver Bob Wallace. Their job was to test drive each prototype and report back to Ferrucio Lamborghini in order to better the cars. Along with this job, they drove every Lamborghini to come off of the production line to make sure everything was in perfect condition for the customer that the car was going to. After Wallace retired, Valentino Balboni became the chief test driver for Lamborghini and continued his work for 40 years with Lamborghini and has just recently retired. In honor of all of the years of hard work that Balboni devoted his life to, Lamborghini named their newest special edition Gallardo after him.

2010 Audi S5

Alongside the new A5 coupe, Audi launched the 2010 Audi S5 model onward. It features Audi's direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 engine, basically a detuned version of the one found in the RS4 and R8, which produces 354hp and 325lb-ft of torque instead of the 420 hp /317 lb-ft. Like the A5, the new S5 features an engine placement behind the front wheels, resulting in better weight distribution between the axles. The A/S5 is underpinned by Audi's newest platform, B8, making its debut here. It is also the floorplan for the 2009 Audi A4, and its flexibility will allow it to underpin future A6 and even flagship A8 models. Detuned or not, the motor is good enough to propel the S5 to 60mph in under five seconds, and carry it onto an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.

2010 Audi R8

When it was released in 2007, the Audi R8 became an instant sensation. But seemingly before the car even turned a wheel the inevitable follow-up question was asked: when is the more-powerful variant coming? After all, Porsche is never content with just a base 911 and with comparisons aplenty between the Stuttgart legend and upstart rookie from Ingolstadt, it was obvious Audi would eventually up its R8 game.But what engine route would it take? Early reports of a more powerful R8, dubbed the RS8 by some, spoke of it receiving a version of the beastly 575 hp twin-turbo V-10 from the RS6.

Those literally went up in flames when a test mule overheated and burned to the ground late last year. The R8 V12 TDI that made its way around the auto show circuit earlier this year with its monstrous 500 hp, 738 lb-ft 5.5L diesel V-12 will for numerous reasons remain a concept - for now. Instead, Audi dug through ready supply of high-power engines to choose from and decided upon the naturally-aspirated 5.2L V-10 found in the S6 and S8, modified it for mid-engine duty, increased output to 525 hp at 8000 RPM and 391 lb-ft of torque at 6500 RPM, with redline coming at 8700 RPM. And at 569 lbs, the aluminum V-10 weighs just 68 lbs more than the V-8.
