Hamann does up the Ferrari 599 GTB
Hamann, the tuner of all manner of exotica, has gotten their grubby little paws on Ferrari's finest grand tourer, the 599 GTB.
To begin with, the Hamann treatment does not augment the engine, exhaust or suspension in any way, instead leaving the 600+ HP, V12 to do its job as Ferrari's engineers saw fit.
Hamann opted to focus their attention on the 599's bodywork, adding a chin spoiler, extending the side skirts and tacking on a new rear diffuser. Although down force is rarely a problem with Marnello motorcars, Hamann added a duo of wings: one gracing the edge of the bumper, while another sits atop the rear window.
Naturally, wheel choice is where the tuner excels and in the case of the 599, 21-inch wheels are fitted at all four corners, with 245 tires up front and 345s in the rear.
If you've got the coin, you could certainly do worse, but we think the 599 GTB speaks for itself quite well, right from the factory.

Audi R8
We won't get to see the Audi R8 running around in real life until springtime 2007 when the car is launched, but luckily some squatters on the look for prototypes lapping the famous Nurburgring in Germany caught the car doing hot laps while testing. If a picture's worth a thousand words, this video leaves nothing left to be written in anticipation of Audi's ultimate mid-engine road warrior. The slightly detuned V10 sourced from the Lamborghini Gallardo sounds sonorous as the driver blips the throttle while downshifting in turns. Along with the 450-hp V10 from the Gallardo, the R8 will share many mechanicals with its Italian cousin, as well. It's name is culled from the R8 Le Mans racer in order to emphasize its performance potential, while the R8's shape is a faithful reproduction of the Le Mans Quattro concept car first shown at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. ...

Cars - Trailer # 2
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship. CARS opens nationwide June 9, 2006. |

Ferrari i skogen? Nya X5 är här!
Det var över sex år sen den gjorde debut och då var den redan långt efter Mercedes M-klass men ändå gick försäljningen otroligt bra. I dag offentliggjordes bilder på den andra generationens BMW X5 som ska upprepa succén.
BMW skryter lagom med sin nya suv. Fast de kallar den inte själva för suv utan för SAV - Sports Activity Veichle. Nya X5 är som alla andra nya bilar från BMW fullsmetad med tekniska finesser till såväl motor som chassi, till exempel xDrive och aktiv styrning. Självklart finns det också en hel del i kupén som föraren kan fingra på.
Motoralternativen blir tre stycken i Europa. En 4,2-liters V8 som ger 350 hästar, en 3-liters rak sexcylindrig som ger 272 hästar och en 3-liters sexcylindrig dieselmotor som ger 231 hästar. Till alla dessa kommer en sexväxlad automatlåda som standard. Utvändigt har det inte hänt särskilt mycket sen den första generationen men det är antagligen det under huven och karossen som ska sälja bilen.
Sedan starten 1999 har BMW X5 sålts i över 580 000 exemplar världen över och BMW räknar kallt med att upprepa succén.
