Protoscar Lampo 2 Concept

2010-02-27T09:50:00.000-08:00

This car is a somewhat unique piece of machinery. Other than its strange and unusual design, it uses green technologies similar to the Tesla Roadster. There are two electric motors (one for each axle, offering an AWD) and a lithium-ion battery pack combined for 408 hp and 472 lb.-ft. of torque.

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style Concept

2010-02-27T09:44:00.000-08:00

The F800 Style Concept, as some would say, is a preview of the upcoming CLS four-door coupe with a futuristic design. It is unlikely that the sliding rear door and the yoke steering column will make the cut but the full-hybrid drivetrain probably will. The F800's dynamic visage will spawn the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz styling, but the production versions might have to tone it down.

Jaguar XKR Special Edition

2010-02-27T09:40:00.000-08:00

Best Cars of the Decade

2009-12-31T18:16:00.000-08:00

Porsche Carrera GT

The Porsche Carrera GT is truly a work of beauty that one has to appreciate. Everything from its 605hp V10 engine to the fact that it drives as if it were weightlessness. The feeling of being one with the car is probably what makes the driving experience so amazing.

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Few cars can leave a amazing impression like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. It's 5.5L 626hp V8 engine can go an austonishing 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds. Priced at US$495 000, around 1 700 had been sold making it one of the most exclusive cars ever.

Audi R8

Any person that tells you that any car worth $150 000 is good car, they're wrong.What really makes a car special is that it has to look nice and it has to have not just good, but excellent performance, and this is what sets this car apart from the others.

Bugatti Veyron

This is $1.7 million sports car with a 8-litre V16 engine has 4 turbochargers to produce 1001hp. This is a car that brings joy to the driver and can be used for almost any purpose for almost anyone. Most of all, this is one of the best cars of the decade.

Rolls-Royce Phantom

Rolls-Royce is generally regarded as one, if not the best, of luxury car makers, and the Phantom is no exception. This is a car that is a symbol of luxury, a symbol of wealth, and last but not least, a symbol of dominance.

Leblanc Mirabeau

2009-12-24T15:46:00.000-08:00

This flashy sports car (or should I say race car) would cost you $861,798 with the $76,000 semi-automatic shifting option. It has a 4.7L V8 Supercharged engine and has an astounding 700hp with a top speed of 230 mph. The body was made using carbon fiber monocoques for superior rigidity and security and the other parts of the chassis are either made with titanium or magnesium. Most would say that the fact that this Swiss beauty is worth the price, simply because of the fact that this is street legal, yes I said it, street legal.

Lotus Evora

2009-12-24T15:29:00.000-08:00

This is the first new Lotus in 13 years. Creating a brand new $90,000 sports car in the middle of a recession isn't the smartest of ideas but who can argue about the exotic and tasteful design. Although the outer shell is quite attractive, the inside is not quite the same, under the hood I mean. The Evora has a V6 Toyota 3.5L engine similar to the Toyota Camry. The only differences between the two engines is that the one in the Evora has a new electronic control unit, a re-energized flywheel, starter and clutch. Overall this is a great car to drive although we think that it could have some, not too much though, improvement.
