Audi A5 Cabriolet

Audi A5 Cabriolet

The four-seater with the fabric top combines a sporty character with the fascination of open-top driving, refined comfort, and great everyday utility. Seven powerful engines, an agile suspension and a wide range of high-end options make the new Audi model the most attractive mid-range convertible. The top-of-the-line model of Audi's new family of convertibles is the Audi S5 Cabriolet.

Like all open-top Audi models, the new Audi A5 Cabriolet too has a classic fabric top - which endows it with a striking silhouette of dynamic elegance. When opened, the Audi A5 Cabriolet top folds down so effectively that very little trunk space is used up - leaving 320 liters (11.3 cu ft) of unused storage volume, clearly the best value in its field of competitors. The softtop compartment lowers itself automatically when the top is opened. Automatic seat belt extenders round out the comfort in the interior. Neck-level heating is optionally available for the front seats.

The Audi A5 Cabriolet is being launched with three gasoline engines and two diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 132 kW (180 hp) to 195 kW (265 hp). Available power trains include a six-speed manual transmission, the continuously variable multitronic, and the lightning-fast, seven-speed S tronic. In addition to front-wheel drive, Audi also offers quattro permanent all-wheel drive for the higher-power engines. via desktopmachine

2010 BMW X6 M

2010 BMW X6 M

The new 2010 BMW X6 M performance crossover is the sort of vehicle that's hard to figure on paper. A 555-horsepower twin-turbo V8, hatchback body style, SUV ride height, four seats, limited hauling capability -- it all sounds like a recipe for irrelevance. Yet the X6 M wears the distinctive "M" badge of BMW's Motorsport division, and that's something BMW doesn't take lightly. Purists may scoff at the presence of not one but two SUVs in this exclusive ultra-performance club (the mechanically identical X5 M is also new this year), but one drive in the X6 M should be enough to convince you that it's a worthy member.

Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang

Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang

Veyron “Pur Sang”, a two-tone study of pure materialness showing the car’s true essentials: carbon and aluminium.

The carbon monocoque holds the engine plus the passenger cell, while the polished aluminium panelling is enhanced by reflections in the sculpted bodywork. Interestingly, the rawness of the materials even more strongly highlights the dual character of this car: performance power coupled with cruising comfort, structure and body, dark and light. This lends shape and a unique body sculpture to the car, covering the wheels in a muscular and powerful expression by way of elaborately shaped fenders. Highly polished, these perfectly tensioned shapes strongly visualize the fascinating surface reflections that define every Veyron.

F430 Black Miracle Hamann

F430 Black Miracle Hamann

Front impressions of the F430 “Black Miracle“ through HAMANN’s front spoiler provide a distinct racing sports face and minimize front axle buoyancy. Further reminiscence of sports racing awakens at the rear end through the HAMANN diffuser and a powerful rear wing which provides more downthrust on the rear axle. HAMANN air dams for the downforce generating Venturi Tunnel boosts the effect.

Additionally included in the “Black Miracle“ design are finished aerodynamic parts in red, orange or yellow as well as coloured side mirrors and brake callipers, tinted rear lights, a coloured engine cover framing, dark tinted windows (including front window), bi-coloured leather furnishings (any choice of colour combinations), HAMANN logos within the head rests as well as the wheels finished in the colour of the aerodynamic components and with completely covered black matt rim flange.

2008 Jaguar X-Type

2008 Jaguar X-Type

The Jaguar X-Type has always seemed like a television spin-off of a popular film. And not in a good, "M*A*S*H" sort of way. Rather, more along the lines of "My Big Fat Greek Life" or "RoboCop: The Series." All the things that made the big-budget versions a success leave something to be desired in a smaller, less expensive medium, especially when it comes to production values. Although the 2008 X-Type tries its best to act the part of a baby Jaguar XJ, it ultimately feels like a lesser car half-heartedly tarted up with wood, chrome and leaping-cat hood ornament.

Toyota Yaris 1.5

The Yaris’ rising belt-line and curvy body look more 21st century than. The frenched-in windshield and curvy slashes of light are very chic, while large wheel arches and chunky door handles present the illusion of tiny car.

The Yaris matches the Jazz in all measures, and betters it in some. The cushions are softer than the Jazz’s pews, and the front seats are mounted high inboard, giving you more knee and elbow room. The reclining rear seats also make for great headroom. While shuffling back and forth between the Jazz and the Yaris reminds you that there’s tons of space in the Jazz, the Yaris makes you more aware of it. In the “incredible cargo capacity” department, the Yaris rates as incredibly small. With the rear seats folded down, there’s more space still, but after seeing the Jazz’s Origamic-ULT- one-thousand-liter-cargo-bay trick for the thousandth time, the Yaris’s cargo flexibility comes off looking a little limp.
