By doing so, Volkswagen doesn’t actually boast off rather making their vehicle an example of sheer power and performance. It not only adds performance to the car but also brings some economical benefits as well. If we talk about this technology in reference with Amarok, it together with BlueMotion Technology will not only enhanced off-road skills, but also offers comfortable riding experience. Furthermore, it will offer economical fuel consumption as compared to the model equipped with manual gearbox.

The 2012 Amarok will come with a new 132 kW (180 PS) 2.0-L bi-turbo TDI engine mated to 8-speed automatic transmission. It will be offered with a permanent all-wheel drive system. The 2012 Amarok with 8-speed transmission will achieve 7.6 liters per 100 km and 199g/km of CO2 emission. As far as eighth gear is concerned, it is setup as a fuel-saving overdrive gear that will operate at reduced engine speed.

It is completely absurd to check the performance of a diesel-powered truck on 0-100km/h basis. All it need is superior in-gear acceleration. The Amarok achieves 80-120 km/h in about 8.5 seconds and reaches the maximum speed of 179 km/h.

Another advantage that is brought to Amarok with this new 8-speed automatic gearbox is its increased towing capacity which has increased to 3.2 metric tons.

After following the video, you will forget about the Ken Block and Tanner Foust. These Arabian drifters don’t opt for any racing track or safer place to boast their drifting skills, rather doing it on the public roads. Although it seems pretty awkward, but it is somehow an interesting experience. These Arabian drifters opt for family sedans, Accord, Sonata and Camry to perform drift on an open road.

You might find Jeremy Clarkson statement right in which he said, “This is what happens when you don’t let people drink,” after watching the video.

The new 364 PS petrol/electric luxury sedan sprinted quarter a mile in 13.9031 seconds (average time of all attempts) at the United Kingdom’s Santa Pod Roadway. The standard version ended each run with more than 100 mph, pretty amazing! The vehicle accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds.

Considering the performance of M35h, the most astonishing feature is its economical data. It achieves 40.4mpg 7.0-L on combined cycle with 162g/km of CO2 emission. Another important feature of this hybrid car is its looks – it appears similar to any other Infiniti and no one can easily judge if it is a hybrid or standard version.

The Infiniti M35h proves that hybrids can be fast as well as frugal,” said Tim Pollard, associate editor of the UK’s CAR Magazine, who drove the car in its record-breaking run. “At Santa Pod you could feel the instant torque of the electric motor away from standstill – the car just leapt off the line. I did try changing gear manually, but it was fastest left in automatic. That was when we achieved the fastest single run of 13.8960 seconds.

“But what impressed most was the M’s duality of purpose: it might be quick, but it’s also comfy and very easy to drive. It felt like it could do these runs all week long.”

The car is powered by a similar 4.4-L, 400 hp V8 engine used in regular 650. The intelligent all-wheel drive system of BMW makes the car a bit heavier that also affect the speed as well. But with this intelligent all-wheel drive system the car receives excellent stability and traction. The rear-drive system sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds.

The car comes with a price tag of US$86,000. Although, it seems much expensive than the regular 650, it gets additional features as well such as Onboard Navigation System with Traffic Alerts, Voice Command, Climate Zone Ventilation, iPod and USB Adaptor Bang & Olufsen Surround Sound System BMW Apps, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Adaptive LED Headlights, Full Color Head-Up Display, Lane Departure Warning, Night Vision, BMW Assist with Bluetooth Wireless Technology, and so on.

It is somehow hard to believe this report because up till now they had not kept their promise of introducing 2500 hp version nor even 2000 hp yet. We won’t believe until they show up the class.

We are so curious about this 2700 hp Dagger and really hope that the TranStar will reveal it with the disclosed specs to make it a proper hyper vehicle rather than a mere dragster. Only in this way they can show the top automakers like McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari which are yet to make 1000 hp version that how talented and capable team they have under their shed.

Although, the Standard SLS version is also a top class model, we can expect to something even better in the form of Black Series. From the experience of previous Black Series AMGs, we can conclude that this Black Series SLS will something like a hard-core racing cars for streets. Majority of the earlier Black Series AMGs came with air conditioning, automatic gearbox and other standard features.

AMG didn’t tell much about this car, but we can expect to have vehicle with racing body kit, not as aggressive as GT3, but still with a potential of 700+ horsepower. MT states that the street legal version of the SLS AMG GT3 racer is also in the development process.

As for power specs, the Roadster receives more power than the Supersport. The standard hardtop version came with 630 hp, but this particular Roadster generates 650 hp and torque of about 700 Nm. The car sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 320 km/h.

Some of the other features include a set of three-part 20-inch RS-1 wheels, stainless steel exhaust system and adjustable suspension.

This is more of a fun than a match. Axel Stein, a comedian and car nut supports the 700 hp Lamborghini Aventador, while Matthias Malmedie, a German racing driver goes with the 620 hp Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Let us have a look at the video to know what happened in that friendly match.

This is a mix race that anyone can take part in it. Let us have a look at this amazing race video.

Although, the kit is really remarkable, it is not as prominent because of the white exterior of the vehicle. Despite the fact that it is not noticeable still it gives Cayenne more elegant and lofty looks.

Some of the other designing cues included are horizontal and vertical rows of LED lights at front, buffed up fenders and Kahn’s RS wheels. Furthermore, the top end bespoke interior treatment is another major part of this kit.

Kahn this time treated the diesel version of Cayenne and also claims to introduce some massive engine upgradation. Details are still coming. So, stay tuned, we will come back to you.
