The Legends: Aston Martin


Aston Martin is a name that needs little introduction. It has always stood for luxurious high performance sports cars.
The Aston Martin comes in 3 models: DBS, DB9 & V8.

The Aston Martin DBS is a 6.0-litre V12 powered two-seater. This race-breed is just as comfortable on winding mountain roads as it is on the open country road.

The Aston Martin DB9 is a sports car and a a very capable grand toure.

The V8 Vantage Coupe and Roadster are powered by Aston Martin’s 313 kW (420 bhp) 4.7-litre V8 capable of propelling the car to a maximum speed of 290 km/h (180 mph).

Evolution X


Since its launch in 1992, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has been building a reputation as the supercar slayer. After nine generations, this vehicle really has proved the theory of evolution.

New body, new engine, new transmission and new all-wheel drive system - this isn’t evolution, it’s revolution. But, while this new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X may look as though it’s been graced with a stylist’s wand, its mission to manipulate air remains single-minded - cool air in, hot air out, and always employed for maximum downforce. The new chassis is stronger, with 40% more torsional rigidity and 60% greater flexural rigidity. The track is wider, the centre of gravity lower and weight has been redistributed 3% rearwards - all resulting, impossible though it may seem, in an even more sure-footed stance. The ride is calmer (but never, ever soft), the steering less nervous and road noise reduced. This Evolution is still the stuff of legends. It remains an extreme, almost maniacal supercar-slayer, which dares you to attack every twist and turn. But this time there is more than a hint of sophistication. Whisper it… the Lancer Evolution is growing up.

BMW 335d - Diesel


Oh how BMW does diesel!

BMW recently unveiled the new 3 series sedan -the 335d. With this model, BMW are poised to revolutionize the way we look at diesel.

The 3.0 liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine delivers 265 horsepower. The 335d is rear wheel propelled with 36mpg on the highway.

And if you are concerned about the environment, as we all rightly should, the BMW Advanced Diesel has been re-engineered to have a 99% lower emission rate and a far greater fuel economy than past diesels. Not to worry tho', this environmentally friendly diesel does not sacrifice performance. In fact, the BMW 6-cylinder engine has more torque than most V8s.

The Escalade Hybrid has arrived!


The future of luxury!

The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Hybrid is out of the box. And aint it a beauty!

It combines luxury & performance with a 2-Mode Hybrid system which provides 20 MPG (miles to the gallon) city & 21 MPG on the highway. The 2-Mode Hybrid system seamlessly transitions btw the electric motors & the combustion engine as speed & power demands vary. Allowing for 50% improvement in fuel economy in the city.

For the Escalade die-hards, the 2009 hybrid comes in a 322 hp V8 engine that generates 367 lb-ft of torque at 4100 rpm. Not what you'd expect from a hybrid! But hey, we are talking about a Cadillac.
