2010 Audi R8 Spyder




It will be released in Frankfurt this September and will be in America by summer 2010. It has arrived, a convertible version of the Audi R8. And that's not all, you get to choose the engine. You get the choice to have the 420 horsepower V8 or the 525 horsepower V10. Another thing you get to choose is the gearbox. Either the 6-speed manual transmission gearbox or the R tronic 6-speed gearbox. Isn't that awesome!

Aston Martin V12 Vantage




There's a new kid on the block. Meet the Aston Martin V12 Vantage. First of all, when you get in to this car, you know you're in something extremely luxurious. And second of all, it doesn't take, long to notice that you piloting 510 horsepower V12 engine sports car by the noise. And that's not all, this car only weighs 3700 lbs. But best of all, press the Start button and you will rise to a top speed of 190 mph. And then, press the Sport button and it seems that you have just kicked of 20 afterburners. But the sad thing is that it takes a firm hand to charge gears that go up to 6. And also, Aston has lowered the suspension by 0.6. in. from the the V8 Vantage, along with 45% stiffer springs, well, that was required, especially on the rear to accommodate the bigger tires. The tires on the front are 255/35ZR-19 ones. It is the most focused Aston you can buy today, with exceptional engineering.

Ferrari 599XX Fiorano






It's Ferrari's newest 599 model and it was released in Geneva. The Ferrari 599XX is compared to the original model, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. Well, it's compared to the 599 GTB Fiorano but it is also an improvement car to successful Ferrari models, just like the Ferrari FXX. It's not road-legal because it's a race car. This 700 horsepower monster is certainly very fast. It has a 6 liter V12 engine. Lap times will be very quick because of Ferrari's 'Actiflow' system which increases down force. Ferrari will organise a series of track days specifically for 599XX owners in 2010 and 2011.

Tune Up Cars





You all know the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 right? Well it has been tuned up to have 710 horsepower and have a 6.5. liter V12 engine. It's 0-60 mph acceleration is 3.2. seconds and it;s top speed is 224 mph which makes it the fastest Lamborghini ever! Due to it's succes, they named it after the tuner. It's name is the Lamborghini LP710 Christian Audigier Edition. It is the LP710 because 710 is the number of horsepower it has.
