Aston Martin V12 Vantage - 'Top Gear' Review

Here is video from last episode of this season Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson share with us experience and information about exclusive new Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Great video review so I just can't skip that and don't share with you...

New Vantage GTR Porsche Cayenne

TOPCAR Company has prepared a limited series Vantage GTR Porsche Cayenne. Only 25 cars will be manufactured, each of them manufactured in compliance with client’s wishes and will have its personal number.

While tuning the car, designers of TOPCAR Company combined aerodynamic kits from Advantage GT and Vantage – each of 25 Porsche Cayenne will have this integrated aerodynamic kit, where front optics remains standard, but the car receives enlarged rear wings with impressive air inlets from Advantage GT. In this way, SUV visually transforms into coupe, but it has no round lights of 911 model in 997 body. It means that in the near future another 25 fierce and aggressive Porsche Cayenne, will be on road, making horror to their standard fellow creatures.

When a new body kit is installed, hood, radiator guard, front bumper, sills, rear bumper are replaced and rear wings are equipped with moldings. Knobs of rear doors disappear. Neat buttons replace them; they are thoroughly hidden in big side air inlets, as in Advantage GT Project. Similar to the previous aerodynamic body kits from TOPCAR Company, Vantage GTR body kits are manufactured of reinforced Kevlar, and some elements are produced of dry carbon.

But TOPCAR Company places its stake not only on exterior of the project. As usual, the interior is also subject to substantial re-development. TOPCAR Company offers even more expensive leather, alcantara, exclusive woods, parts of carbon, and also clear stitches and decorative solutions, including, among other, a plate with individual number on the central console.

German company 9FF is a traditional partner of TOPCAR Company in tuning of engines of Porsche Cayenne.

Within the frame of this project TOPCAR Company has already manufactured 7 cars. The price of aerodynamic body kit for Vantage GTR is EURO 45,000. This aerodynamic kit can be created on the basis of any Porsche Cayenne, even from previous generation.

Video : Mercedes-McLaren SLR

I suggest you to watch 2 videos of new Mercedes-McLaren SLR. The first video features you a track test by Bruno Spengler (Canadian racing star). In the second video we can see photographer René Staud. He is talking about his thoughts on shooting the awesome 650hp.

''Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition''

World famous tuning company “Gemballa” presented new modification of Porsche Carrera GT. The name of this supercar is “Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition”.

This Mirage GT has 650hp and is capable of 0-100km/h (62mph) in 3.7 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the stan­dard car. 0 – 200km/h is also dealt with in 0.2 seconds less, 9.7 seconds in total. It tops out at 335 km/h (208mph).

The exterior looks stunning as always with Mirage GT’s. The mix of matte black paint work and silver accents really make the car stand out. As with most tuners, Gemballa have added a garish ‘one-off’ theme to the car. A mixture of black material, blue alcantara and a space age-looking silver material...

The “Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition” will be sold in extremely limited numbers with a price tag of $420,000.

'Top Gear' review: Jaguar X-FR vs BMW M5

Top Gear's latest episode Jeremy Clarkson makes a review about Jaguar XF-R and puts it against the mighty, powerful BMW M5. The Jaguar XFR is the fastest car the company has ever built with a top speed of 225.675mph (363.188km/h). This speed is recorded in January on the Bonneville Salt Flats (Utah, USA) . The Jaguar XFR is powered by a supercharged V8 engine which develops 510PS and 625Nm of torque and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Although - official information says the Jaguar XFR is limited to 155 mph, Clarkson manages to take it well beyond that mark...

Bugatti EB 110 Crash During Bavaria Moscow City Racing

Bugatti EB110, the model shown in the video here crashed in Moscow. The car, one of only 139 ever produced, crashed into a cement gutter and embankment on the side of the road during the Bavaria Moscow City Racing 2009 event.

At 25-second mark you will see the rear passenger wheel snap off and fly up into the air. The rear bumper looks to have been partially torn off, which also forced open one of the scissors-doors.

The EB110 was built to celebrate the 110th birthdate of Ettore Bugatti, and is the predecessor to the Veyron. The four-wheel drive car features a mid-engined 3.5-liter quad-turbo V12 that produces up to 542 horsepower. It has a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds, and a 343 km/h (213 mph) top speed. A year after its 1991 debut, Bugatti released a SuperSport model that shaved the 0-100 km/h time by 0.2 seconds, while increasing the top speed to 348 km/h (216 mph). The SS debuted at $350,000.

According to newspaper the accident took place during the second supercar parade. Behind the wheel was a Russian man with a "supermodel girlfriend" sitting in the passenger seat. Both seemed to be undamaged physically, but the destruction of a $2 million car likely caused some emotional damage.

First Official Images and Information About New ''Audi A5 Sportback''

Audi released official details and images of the new 2010 A5 Sportback . A5 Sportback follows the same coupe-styled sedan as the Mercedes CLS but it is a five-door coupe! You can put it in the same category as BMW5-series GT, but it’s much prettier than the Bimmer. Audi A5 Sportback is made on Audi A4 platform.

Of course we already know how it’ll look like. In front it’s a normal Audi, impossible to mistake it with anything else! but the back end is the car’s party piece. It features some nice and elegant curves which result in a beautiful shape, a combination of style and practicality.

When it hit the market in 2010, it’ll be available with 5 different engines three of which are diesels. This TDI range includes a 2.0 liter with 125 kW (170 hp) and 350 nm (258 lb-ft), a 2.7liter with 140 kW (190 hp) and 400 nm (295 lb-ft) and a 3.0 liter V6 with 176 kW (240 hp) and 500 nm (369 lb-ft) torque. As for the TFSI petrol engines you’ll have two options , a 155 kW (211 hp) 2.0 liter and a 3.2 V6 with 195 kW (265 hp).

Being a 2010 model car, the Audi A5 Sportback has no shortage of computrized gizmos such as adptive suspension, electronic differential lock, dynamic steering, Audi drive select system, advanced ESP.

The car will start at €36,050 (~$50,000) for the basic diesel model and it is not U.S. bound.

Porsche Panamera - Fastest 4-door Production

A German magazine is reporting that a Porsche Panamera Turbo driven by racing legend and Porsche test driver Walter Röhrl has lapped the Nürburgring race track in 7:56, a time that would shave about three seconds off of the record-setting 7:59.32 time achieved by the Cadillac CTS-V.

According to Sportauto, the Panamera Turbo used for the timed lap featured the optional Sport Chrono Package, including ceramic brakes.

The Nürburgring is extensively used for new car development. The record-breaking CTS-V, which was driven around the track last May by former General Motors Performance Division chief John Heinricy, was sold by the automaker at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona earlier this year.

New record set:

Panamera Turbo

4.8L twin turbo V8

500 PS (493 hp/368 kW), 700 N·m (516 lb·ft)@2250-4500

2010 Jaguar XJ Official

The all-new Jaguar XJ made its official debut at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London. The car is now available for order and prices for UK starts from £52,500 for the standard wheelbase 3.0-liter V6 diesel luxury.

The 2010 XJ is the first Jaguar model built on Jaguar’s aerospace-inspired aluminum body technology. It will be available with a choice of new ultra-efficient Gen III petrol and diesel engines: 3.0-liter V6 diesel, 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 and 5.0-liter supercharged V8.

Jaguar will offer both standard and long-wheelbase versions, the last one adding an extra 125mm of legroom. Also all the latest Jaguar technologies will make their way into the new model: air suspension, Adaptive Dynamics (continuously variable damping), Active Differential Control and quick-ratio power steering.

The XJ's rear graphic is completely unlike any Jaguar we can recall, with a simple, sheer dropoff in the trunklid (under which you'll find a vast 18.4 cubic-foot trunk), a pair of tapering vertical LED taillamps, a sizable metal leaper and nicely integrated exhaust outlets. In person, if anything, the rear end feels a bit Gallic or Italian, reminding alternatively of the Citroen C6 or perhaps the Lancia Thesis. Of minor note for American customers, the car's license cutout was clearly designed with Europe's longer, thinner number plates in mind, and we suspect that their U.S. counterparts will protrude unflatteringly below the bottom edge of the bumper (we suspect our plates are going to look a bit awkward up front, too). Perhaps more than any other view, the XJ's rear aspect is the one that translates least well to photographs, but it fits well in person, even if it will take a bit of time to get used to. Either way, with a .29 cD, officials reckon it's the most aerodynamic Jaguar ever built.

At the background event, we were given the chance to see the XJ in several different shades of paint, and the design has real presence. It looks particularly sensational in black, where it could pass for Bruce Wayne's limo in some Anglicized futurethink Gotham City. Lighter colors bring out the surface detailing more, but in that ebony shade, the darkened rear pillar ceases to become a controversial detail, the panoramic roof blends in, and the whole car looks at once fantastically menacing and impossibly upscale. Democratize this.

While we'll have to wait to get behind the wheel to assure that the driving experience and everyday usability of the technology is there, our first impressions left us mightily impressed. Far from representing "the democratization of luxury," not only does this XJ appear to be the measure of its German competitors, it may well play as a strong foil for higher-end offerings like the Maserati Quattroporte and perhaps even more overtly sporting propositions like the Porsche Panamera. And while we haven't entirely stopped worrying about our friends in Coventry, there's more reason than ever to think that the Leaping Cat's claws are sharp once again.
