It seems that the latest fun in Los Angeles is chasing cars with helicopter. A Lamborghini Gallardo and a Gallardo Spyder are being chased on the Pacific Coast highway. Why? Because they were bad guys!
Hummer announced today details on the 2010 H3 and H3T models. And there are some very "environmental-friendly" details. Both models will get E85 capability and new colors for the 2010 model year. The prices on the other hand remain the same as for the 2009 models.
All 2010 Alpha series’ models will be powered by a 5.3L V8 Flex Fuel engine rated at 300 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a Hydra-Matic 4L60 electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. Is not much of a green car, but according to James Taylor, Hummer CEO: "This is just the first step in HUMMER’s evolution to offer responsible, yet highly capable all-terrain vehicles. Future models will be lighter, more efficient and will continue to offer the best blend of off-road capability and on-road performance."
Besides the new engine, the 2010 models will be offered with three new premium colors: Red Rock Metallic, Silver Stone Metallic, and Canyon Metallic.
When revealing the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor R, Ford announced that for the 2011 model year the company will offer the FR Raptor XT. But until then Ford presented a concept version of the car at SEMA Show.
The production version will be powered by a 500-hp (est.) 6.2-liter naturally aspirated engine mated to a Six-speed automatic transmission. There will only be 50 units built, ad each will be priced at $99,950.
While General Motors has not decided yet the official launch date of the Camaro Convertible, there are lots of tuners out there who are already offering a convertible version for the American muscle car.
And Newport Convertible Engineering is one of the tuners. The car has been on display at SEMA Show for those who wanted to see it, and for those who want to ride it the car is already available for ordering.
Except for the roof the car is pretty much a standard Camaro SS. It is also with about 100 lbs heavier, and can be offered with Forgiato cast-aluminum wheels — 22" in front and 24" in the rear.
The guys from AutoCar had the luck to got behind the wheels of the new Ferrari 458 Italia and of course they had all the fun in the world. Check the video to see what do they think about the latest Ferrari.
Short reminder: the 458 Italia is powered by a 4.5 Liter V8 engine that delivers 570 HP at 9000 RPM. Weighing in at only 3042 pounds, the new Ferrari will rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds and won’t stop until it hits a top speed of 202 MPH.
The 1967-68 Shelby GT500 Mustang is for sure a legendary car that needs no presentation. And like every legend there are lots of people out there who will do anything to get it back. So did Carroll Shelby, no surprise here no? He gave Classic Recreations the license to recreate the car.
"I am humbled and honored by the opportunity to work with a legend like Carroll Shelby," said Classic Recreations owner Jason Engel. "We pride ourselves on building the finest coachbuilt muscle cars in the world, and I’m thrilled that this new opportunity will allow us to build some of the fastest and coolest supercars on the road today. Other shops build cars. We sit down with a client, listen to their fantasies, and then turn those into reality."
Each of the Shelby GT500CR will "leave the shop with an official Shelby serial number, badges and will be included in the official Shelby Worldwide Registry."
And how the classic car delivers between 535 and 770 hp, the GT500CR will have for sure the same horse power and performance level.
Even if the Aston Martin DB9 is a car that needs no improvements, the German tuner Wheelsandmore revealed a new tuning package for the sporty convertible. Their kit makes modifications to both the exterior and engine performance.
The exterior package includes: side skirts, front and rear aprons, a rear lid spoiler 9.0×20" Kahn RS-V wheels for the front and 11.0×20" Kahn RS-V wheels for the rear. Also the ride has been lowered by 25mm thanks to a H&R springset.
Thanks to a "small" ECU upgrade and the installation of a 200 cells sportcatalysts and a valve controlled, but also a new stainless steel exhaust system the engine’s output has been increased by 60hp and 50lb-ft of torque. The stock was 476hp.
The new Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing has already received high praises from arguably everybody in all corners of the world. We figured that Mercedes didn’t have to do anything anymore to convince anyone that their new supercar isn’t drool-worthy.
But just to be on the safe side – literally and figuratively – Mercedes recently released a new video of the new SLS AMG undergoing a series of crash test in the company’s safety labs.
In the video, the SLS AMG undergoes a series of metal-crunching crashes, including one head-on collision and another after being dropped on its roof. As you can imagine with a car that has the full support of Mercedes, the SLS AMG managed to pass the crash test with flying colors, even after being subjected to some pretty nasty s----and collisions.
