2012 Audi R8 LMS Ultra

The Audi R8 is synonymous to racing success. Previously used to name perhaps the greatest Le Mans prototype racer, the R8 was used to represent Audi’s supercar. The R8 name did not stay on the road though, as the R8 name made its way back to the track. Thanks to the R8 LMS GT3, Audi was able to dominate the touring car scene for the last 3 years, winning 12 different championships and winning a grand total of 115 races.
However, Audi, not resting on its laurels, created its successor that aims to continue the tradition. This successor is the 2012 Audi R8 LMS Ultra.

Thanks to the work of Audi’s subsidiary Quattro GmbH, the daunting task of improving an already strong sports car has been accomplished with great results. Using the inputs of those that owned the R8 LMS GT3, these inputs are then utilized to improve the Ultra. The result is a car that is made to keep winning and exceed even the loftiest expectations.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Only a few names like the Ford Mustang are more revered than the tagline Boss. It is best known as the performance package for the 1970 Mustang that went on to win Trans-Am races. And now, for the current crop of Mustangs, the Boss name has been revived, much to the delight of enthusiasts of this legendary sports car. But how does the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 edition stack up?

Tradition

True to the tradition, the new Boss is developed for the performance enthusiast. As for the looks, it gives a great salute to the Mustang’s colorful past, complete with racing stripes and hockey stick graphics. And with a new yellow paint job that gives a salute to 1970 Trans Am champion Parnelli Jones; the nostalgia is taken to another level.

Performance

But nostalgia is not just the only thing that makes the new Boss stand out from the others. Improved performance, true to the design ethos of the original Boss, has been accomplished thanks to a long line of modifications. A 302 cubic inch/5.0 liter engine is used for this car.

Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena ‘Su Misura F101′

When it comes to supercars, there is just one name that instantly comes to mind – Ferrari. However, with the release of the new Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena Su Misura F101, the term “supercar” becomes an understatement.

The development of new materials used for construction of skyscrapers and modern spacecrafts has been the driving force in incorporating the concept of aerodynamics and ergonomics for the new Ferrari.

Superb Performance

The Fenice Milano Ferrari 360 Modena Su Misura F101 has the ability to effortlessly accelerate form 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.5 seconds and can reach up to 295 kilometers per hour. This kind of supreme speed is enabled by the lightweight materials used in building this super machine such as carbon fiber and fiberglass. Carbon fiber is basically plastic that is reinforced by graphite textile giving it a very desirable weight-to-strength ratio.

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550

Mercedes Benz has always been known to stir the imagination with high quality cars that possess a combination of luxury and speed. Among their recent models, only a few have created a larger stir than their CLS. Best known for being a “4 door coupe”, its styling has been well received by both fans and critics alike.

2011 Mazda Takeri Concept

Mazda, with their Zoom-Zoom ethos, has always sought for ways to improve their technology. And during the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, that ethos was in full effect with their theme “Environmental Technology, Pushing the boundaries of the emotion of motion”.

With their new concept, the 2011 Mazda Takeri, they are integrating their new style concept into the sedan.
Design

The Takeri employs Mazda’s new design language: Soul of Motion. This imparts sharpness that can only be seen on a few cars outside Mazda. True to its design language, they have managed to create a sedan that has a strong beauty and identity. Not only that, this body is both lightweight and aerodynamic, enhancing both performance and efficiency.

Technology

But don’t think for a second that this car is just for style, as this car has an abundance of substance too. It employs a lot of Mazda’s new SKYACTIV technology. The SKYACTIV-D engine, a new diesel engine, provides more than adequate performance, fuel efficiency, and smoothness for the Takeri.
