2011 Audi A2 Concept

The Audi A2 joins the S6 sedan and Avant, S7, S8, the Urban Concept, and the Urban Concept Spyder. The concept is loaded with contemporary Audi connectivity tech, including Bluetooth, wireless internet, Google Earth and Street View navigation screen overlays, Audi traffic information, and Google point-of-interest search.

2011 Volkswagen Amarok

The pickup's active and passive safety systems and convenience features all match up to passenger car levels. Yet the Amarok is extremely rugged. The cleanly sculpted curvatures of the pickup's side body panels and engine hood give the Amarok the typical rugged look of a pickup. The pickup comes with a standard six speed transmission.Volkswagen Amarok customers can choose from three different driveline versions: permanent all-wheel drive, selectable four-wheel drive (both 4MOTION) and rear-wheel drive (4x2). The Volkswagen Amarok 4MOTION with a black "4" makes its appearance with permanent all-wheel drive and greater comfort. It exploits the...

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8

The previous Dodge Charger SRT8 had “just” 425 hp and 420 lb-ft from its 6.1-liter V-8. The new Hemi’s intake features active air flaps that vary the ram length based on engine speed, and new variable cam timing increases the duration of the intake-valve opening with the goal of stuffing more air in the cylinder. We clocked the old Dodge Charger SRT8 from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, and that’s about where Chrysler pegs this new car’s abilities (in addition to a stated top speed of 175 mph). . The five-speed automatic carries over from the last car, but this time it’s equipped with steering-wheel-mounted paddles to augment the side-to-side...

2012 Honda Pilot

The 2012 Honda Pilot provides a hushed ride, thanks to refinements in the chassis and increased insulation. Every Pilot model now features an acoustic windshield with double-pane glass, so outside clamor is significantly lessened. Exterior Design The Pilot's tailgate offers convenient access to its spacious cargo compartment. Gas-pressurized struts assist the opening process, while a sturdy handle built into the inner panel makes closing the tailgate easier.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S

Some of the improvements made on the Porsche sports car. Line design of this car seems to have a change of the existing models, as well as the design on the front and aft of the vehicle. Exterior design The familiar athletic appearance of the 911 is given further dynamism with a 100mm longer wheelbase, reduced height, and up to 20-inch diameter alloy wheels. At the same time, the typically compact exterior dimensions have been retained. Seen from the front, the eye is drawn to the trademark wide-arched wings, emphasising the wider front track and making the new 911 Carrera models adopt a particularly sporting stance on the road. The redesigned...

Chrysler 300 SRT8

With 425-horsepower 6.1-liter Hemi V8, replaced the pent star’s new 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine that first appeared in the new Challenger SRT8 392. The new V8 produces 465 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, up 40 ponies and 45 lb-ft versus the outgoing engine. What's more, that upgraded output is also more usable for 2012, as Chrysler tells us we can expect an additional 80 lb-ft of torque at 2,900 rpm, which translates into more thrust from a standstill. How much? Official estimates are 0-60 "in the high four-second range," and a quarter-mile time of fewer than 13 seconds. The transmission of choice will be the carryover five-speed automatic,...
