Luxury Cars: BMW wanted to surprise us before Christmas and unveiled this week the new Z4 sDrive35is, a more powerful version of the sporty coupe-cabrio which will make its debut as a 2011 model at the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
So, what is so special about this new model? Well, according to the German manufacturer the new Z4 model is characterized by instantaneous response to the accelerator pedal, a new sound of the engine and a “free-revving spirit”. Under the hood of this car we find a powerful 3.0-liter gasoline engine capable to deliver 335 hp @ 5,900 rpm and an impressive torque of 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) from 1,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm.
Luxury SUV: The second coming of the Lexus GX 460 Luxury SUV for 2010 is a traffic stopper. Three major changes to the new car were shown at the introduction of the all-new GX 460 luxury utility vehicle. Its new V8 engine with a six-speed transmission and 301 horsepower engine is more powerful and efficient. The already-roomy interior has been redesigned with the addition of a standard third row. Safety features have been improved upon too, as 10 airbags are standard in the 2010 GX 460. Additionally, there is an optional “pre-collision” system available as well.
Luxury Cars: To be hailed as the “ultimate, most advanced road car Ferrari has ever made” sounds ambitious but wait until you learn what the car, initially codenamed F70, has up its sleeve.
This flagship car is bound to beat its rivals including the Lamborghini Reventon and Bugatti Veyron. These illustrations show how the model is expected to look. Compared to the Enzo, the F70 is faster, more focused, smaller, lighter, and more fuel-efficient. There’s speculation that powering the vehicle is a twin-turbo V8. Since the F70 is the first production Ferrari to use turbos since the 1987 F40, it can certainly be regarded as the spiritual successor to that hypercar.
Luxury Cars:The first super-tuned version of the new Ghost EX200 is now available on JamesList and is priced at €450,000. The tuning specialists at Deutsche Manufaktur wielded their talents onto what is considered as the “baby” Rolls-Royce and dubbed it the “Numero Uno.”
Luxury Vehicles: Airstream announced today that it is expanding its line of iconic travel trailers and touring coaches in an effort to welcome new consumers to the Airstream lifestyle.
According to Bob Wheeler, Airstream President and CEO “Our brand is synonymous with adventure. By providing products at a broader range of price points, sizes, and decors, we’re creating an opportunity for more people to answer the call of the open road.”
Luxury Cars: On the eve of the 2009 L.A. Auto Show, Audi is across the continent at the "Art of Progress" exhibition in Miami, with Lucy Liu presenting the new 2011 Audi A8. Our own Marty Padgett is on hand to bring us the latest, updating live from the floor of the event in the widget below.
The 2011 Audi A8 will come in two flavors, the shorter of which--dubbed "Normal Wheel Base (NWB)"--was unveiled tonight. The long wheelbase will be revealed next year.
Luxury Cars: While the first two months’ worth of the 2010 Lotus Evoras ticketed for North American dealerships are already sold, the lucky buyers now know that the base price of their new car is at least $73,500. The automaker also announced that the only mid-engine 2+2 sports car is going on a 44-city tour of Lotus dealerships, the Open House Tour, from mid-November 2009 to mid-February 2010. The highly anticipated 2010 Lotus Evora hits the U.S. market in the first quarter 2010.
The base price serves as only the beginning, as there are numerous several packages and optional equipment that raise the selling price. There are sports, premium, and technology packages that add $1,275, $1,990, and $2,995, respectively, as well as a sports ratio six-speed gearbox and various alloy-wheel styles that also raise the price. Additionally, special paint jobs and features, such as a reversing camera and a set of power-folding mirrors, add to the price.
Luxury Motorcycles: With Ducati recently announcing its 2010 models, it reintroduces an argument that could have motorcycle and automobile enthusiasts going back and forth forever. Many savvy motorcycle followers are adamant that Ducati is the best thing on wheels ever made in Italy despite its sharing of the land with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. The company, which began in 1926, has won more motor-sports events than any other brand worldwide. While some changes have been made for 2010, the organization is confident its championship legacy remains intact.
The 2010 Superbike has three changes over the 2009 version. There is an aluminum cam belt tensioner pulley and a brighter LED illuminated dashboard. A 30 mm mirror-extension kit is the third new feature for 2010. For colors, a Nicky Hayden Edition special graphics option is available as well as bikes in red, pearl white, and matte black. The Nicky Hayden model, at $14,495, is the most expensive and black matte comes in with an MSRP of $12,495.
Luxury Cars: This is the Lotus Scura, the so-called Exige Stealth Edition which will be showcased at this year's Tokyo Motor Show. In fact, the Scura is a tweaked Exige S capable to deliver an impressive 260 hp, with 40 hp more than the standard Exige.
Luxury Cars: The all-new Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon takes driving to the next level while offering all the luxuries you've come to expect from Cadillac. As Cadillac's first-ever North American wagon, the 2010 CTS was designed to offer the cargo space of an SUV with the compactness of a sedan.
The Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon is based on the popular CTS Sport Sedan and features a dramatic design that leaves yesterday's wagon in the dust. On the outside, the wagon is essentially the same size as the sedan, yet its carrying capacity is nearly doubled. Unlike the traditional wagon, the roof load management system blends with the roofline, creating a subtle fin effect at the trailing edges of the rear panels. Inside the CTS, the rear cargo area offers an integrated cargo management system that stows neatly under the floor when not in use.
Luxury Cars: In a throwback design that takes the best ideas of yesteryear--there is no replacement for displacement, after all--and builds on the modern 6.1-liter Hemi block with a 7.2-liter all-aluminum spec, the SpeedFactory 440 Hemi-Powered Dodge Challenger coming to this year's SEMA show promises to deliver serious performance for the muscle car enthusiast.
With CNC ported Mopar aluminum heads, all-forged rotating internals and a Vortech V3 centrifugal supercharger helping extract the full potential of the engine, it's expected to deliver 700 horsepower on 91 octane pump gas.
