Jaguar C-XF Concept



Hi,
I would like to talk a bit about new concept car from Jaguar. C-XF or XF presented on 2007 Detroit AutoShow is official replacement for old and ugly S-Type[At last Jag...] I could write something about how it looks but as picture says more than 1000 words, I've post a video to achieve even better effect.Just

Just to cover this car fully some power details, at first Jag is going to offer this astonishing car with four engine variants: 3.0-litre V6, 2.7-litre twin-turbodiesel, 3.6-litre diesel V8 and the legendary blown 4.2-litre petrol V8 that's found in the current XKR.

Even thought that this engine options are definitely enough even for users with biggest expectasions, Jaguar is planning to expand his offer with 5.0-liter supercharged V8[God save the drivers that will drive with this monster].

2007 Jaguar XKR coupe and convertible

Hi,
I would like to talk a bit about Jags newest baby. XKR the sport version of XK is complete drastic makeover of Jags car design style, not only body has changed. The main difference in this 2006-2007 model is driving.

One of the biggest disappointments in Jags was always driving. Maybe it wasn't tragic but you would expect something more for that price. Old XKR wasn't exception from this rule and it was pretty hard to get over this problem as it was supposed to be a sports car.

Ok, lets get back to look of this car cause there is what to talk about. When I've first saw it I thought that this is some new Aston Martin?! And as I think that Aston is guru in car design so I was surprised when I've found out that this is actually Jags car.

But what are the differences between XK and XKR? This are small but significant details that increase this cars charisma like: aluminium power vent near the front wheel, mesh grille or red hot "R" brake clippers, I leave finding other differences to you as I don't want to spoil fun part.

The thing I love most in this car body is window line, it makes this car look much more sporty and chrome around adds bit of elegance which creates really sexy mixture. It is so hot that I think you can find some teenagers doing you know what watching this cars pictures... of course dreaming about it you perverts!

Now there is time for power I think and XKR has something to show off, as officially fastest Jag ever made 2007 XKR with its 4.2-liter supercharged V8 that has 420HP achieves 60 mph after only 4.9 seconds[convertible 5.0s] and this is so called super-cars territory.

With this car Jaguar officially tries to beat such "car players" as Porsche 911 Carrera S or BMW M6 even thought that XKR still isn't ready for this competition for sure Jag is going in right direction, so CONGRATULATIONS Jaguar.

Audi A5 in 2007?

Hi,
New Audi A5 is coming. There is big rumor about it now as no one knows exact details about its looks. There are some talks that it will be based on look of Nuvolari which is Audi's concept car presented on the Geneva Motor Show in spring 2003[you have Nuvolaris photo in left corner].

I actually hope that they will base new A5 on Nuvolari as it is superb. For me Novulari looks as connection of Skoda Octavia RS[check out front lights and say it isn't] with Bentley Continental GT[As for me they have similar body shape]. And lets be honest Audis designers made a hell of a good work putting this all together.

OK, enough about the look lets talk a little bit about the power. If you have heavy foot and you like to drive fast you will have a blast, due to recent power race between German producers[BMW, Mercedes, WV and of course Audi] A5 will be available with two engines: 3.0-litre TDI V6 and monster 3.2-litre FSI V6 that has 255 HP which is more than enough in something that pretends to be small sport limousine.

Even better news are that some time after releasing this car[end of 2007] Audi wants to make a soft-top convertible, there are no photos of it yet but look on that Nuvolari-A5 photo and imagine it without roof, can you do that? Now imagine yourself driving in it in a sunny day with beautiful girl next to you laughing and looking on all that jealous people around you, doesn't it feel great?

Ok, lets get back to reality. Here you have some spy photos of this car.

WTCC ultra concept, again


Hi,
Last time when I was writing about this car it was only a drawing and you could do many forms of activity with it except driving. But yes it has changed, Chevy showed working prototype of this car and stunning thing is that it looks exactly like on drawings.

Something even more surprising is that Chevrolet claims that this is how normal version of this car will look!? Are they lying? I don't know but it looks really cool, like some super futuristic space ship.

When you will be able get one? If you want it bad you can get it now! Yes, you just have to pay 1 000 000 British pounds and this working concept is yours, but if you want to buy it for little bit more affordable price you will have to wait till 2008 when it will be officially sold in saloons.

So, you have 2 years...

Yeah, Chevy confirmed that this car will drive on 190hp 2.0l turbo-diesel engine which with super light body made partially from carbon and other such stuff, for sure will give much pleasure from drive.

Zonda loosing hair?


Hi,
Welcome again lets continue my summary of 2006 Paris motor show.

Pagani Zonda Roadster F 2006

Pagani is really a high end car producer in super car industry. It is so exclusive that most of people haven’t even heard about it, Ferrari or Lamborghini are legends but Pagani is definitely keeping up with them.

Zonda Roadster F is continuation of standard Zonda, the main difference is convertible top and great looking more aggressive “face”. I have personal theory that you can love this car or hate it, there is nothing between.

Paganis cars are great cause they are really crossing the limits. For example Zonda Roadster F weights 1230kg which is exactly the same as coupe! This is outstanding result cause normally when you are making convertible, by cutting the roof you are reducing stiffness of whole body, so car is acting like “drunk”.

So to make it ride like before you have to add some pipes or other stuff[I am not car engineer] so overall weight of the car is growing and this affects performance that’s why this achievement is worth admiring. Ok lets end this fluff talking and check out some technical details:

Engine: 7,3l, V12
Horse power: 594hp
Weight: 1230kg[2800 pounds]
Acceleration: 0-60mph = 3,6s
Max speed: 345km/h
Price: Unique for every customer, about 700 000$
