Pagani Zonda - The New Italian Super Car

http://www.jd3.com/pagani_zonda5.jpg



This monster if a car is called Pagani. It was originally developed by the same people that were working for Lamborghini, but they developed their own independent project and celled it Pagandi. This baby uses a 7.2 liter AMG engine from Mercedes, and it goes from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. As you can see this car not only looks nice, but it preform nice too!

Here is some more eye candy for you:

I labeled the Pagani Zonda as the "New Italian Super Car" because it combines some elements that the "old" Italian Super Cars are missing, and that is unique design. Some people might say that the Pagani looks strange, and it does, but that is the beauty of it! Truth is people get tired of the Lamborghini, and Ferrari design, they want something new, and Pagani brings that in a nice 7.2 liter, AMG, package.

10 Craziest Concept Cars from the Tokyo Motor Show


On the 26th of October, the Tokyo Motor Show kicked off with a roar . Some of the highlights included the Lancer EVO X and the highly anticipated Nissan GT-R. Manufacturers also introduced a handful of concept cars that can only be described as "unique." Here are my picks for the 10 Wackiest Concept Cars from the Tokyo Motor Show:

A company called Solar Electric Vehicles has put out what Prius owners have been waiting for: a solar roof panel. It apparently costs about $2000-4000 and will pay for itself in 2-3 years.

If you wanted a super-slick, futuristic vehicle that could propel you at speeds of 150MPH, what do you think you'd power it with? Rocket fuel? Regular gas, perhaps? How about steam? Yeah, steam

This crazy vehicle is an entry in the British Steam Car Challenge, and it's powered by four boilers that'll give juice to the steamliner's turbine engine with some serious steam pressure. I never even knew steam could power a modern car, let alone one that could move alone at speeds as high as 200MPH on the Utah salt flats. I'm not sure where you'd fill this thing up or how efficient it is, so it's probably not quite practical for bringing the kids to soccer practice, but damn if it isn't a sweet piece of machinery. — Adam Frucci

Nissan 350Z


After a three year absence, the Z returned in 2003 to great acclaim. Richard's page is closing in on half a million hits. Tad is stationed in Germany and cruises his Z on the Autobahn. Nothing has been left untouched on Gina's Z (below). Traland's car is very wide and very orange. Rob's car was the top rated 350Z when I wrote this post. Ryan has been steadily improving his 04 Track Edition. This Z was Fine Tuned. Tolga-Onur's car won SOTW last year. This roadster got Lambo doors. And Juan's car underwent an AWD conversion.

So that's it for this week's WOTW. What should we do next? And who wants to write the next one?

Keep a track of your car’s consumption!

Want to keep a track of your car’s gas mileage, but you think it might be too much hassle? Well, you might want to take a look at the Track Your Gas Mileage website. With 2 simple steps, it takes care of all the hassle for you.

Now why would you like to keep a track of your gas mileage you say? Well, there are several benefits to knowing your vehicle’s mileage over time. An obvious suggestion would be that you could improve your driving habits and save gas and money at the pump. Aggressive driving alone can lower your gas mileage by anywhere between 5 and 33%. Seeing improvement in your mileage might give you the inspiration to keep driving conservatively and saving dollars.

Another less obvious reason is your car’s health. A clogged filter alone can cause you 10% loss in gas mileage. Other problems like faulty oxygen sensors can increase gas mileage by as much as 40%. Keeping track of your gas mileage you can easy see how much mileage your car used to get, and compare it to how much it’s getting now. This way if your vehicle is losing gas mileage gradually over several weeks or months, you’ll be aware of the problem and you can get it checked.

So how do you calculate mileage? Well, next time you are at the pump, reset your trip meter (or write down your total odometer reading, if you don’t have a trip meter) and fill a full tank. Next time you’re at the pump fill a full tank again, but write down the distance you drove since you last filled the tank before you reset your trip meter again. Then divide the miles you drove by the amount you filled. That’ll give you your miles per gallon (If you’re metric, you’ll want to divide your amount filled by the kilometres driven and multiply by 100 to get Litres per 100Km) for that particular tank.

Sound tricky? Well if you sign up with Track Your Gas Mileage, all you have to do is write down the trip meter readings on your gas receipts at the pump, and bring them home. Plug the data into your account, and all the calculations are done automatically. It keeps a history log for you, with all your fill ups, average mileage over time, and handy graphs to show you development over time. And best of all, it’s totally free!

Get Paid To Drive Your Car

There are lots of websites on the internet that offer all kinds of get "paid to" programs and one of them is to get paid to drive your car.

Is this for real?

Most of the websites on the internet that offer the get paid to drive your car offer are scams, although there are some websites that are legit, most of them are phony. To actually get paid to drive your car you will need to know someone locally or actually talk to the person. I am not saying that it will be impossible to do it over the internet, but you are risking more, since these programs ask for personal information, I rather do it in person.

What is it?

It is quite simple, advertiser use cars to put vinyls on them for more unique advertising. The vinyls do not damage the paint of the car and can easily be removed, so that leaves no commitment, unless you sign a contract. Some of the advertiser even give you their own car, and you don't even have to have a car, but that depends on the advertiser. Some of them don't pay money, but pay for your gas based on your gas receipts, which is really good, because you basically drive your car for free!

What does it look like?

http://www.auto-graffix.co.uk/images/Planetarium.jpg

This is an example of a car with vinyls that advertise a website. In this case you would have a little trouble removing the vinyls, but it is doable, and it won't ruin your car's paint.

If the idea sounds tempting to you check it out, and most importantly do your research ahead of time!

Spy Shots: Subaru Impreza







This is what the new Subaru Impreza looks like, and if you ask me it is not better then the old one. This one looks like a Volkswagen Golf or a Ford Focus, but the old Subaru had a more unique look to it which made it more likable.

2008 Bentley Brooklands Coupe

This is the introduction of the new car by Bentley and it is done at the New York Auto show which took place earlier this year. The look of the car is something pretty typical for Bentley, but that only means one thing, extraordinary for everyone else. Enjoy this eye candy!

Neons On Your Ride

http://www.magicmanu.com/tuning/tutoriaux/images/28-ford-mustang-cobra-neons.jpg

Most car owners today add neon lights to the side skirts of their and the front and back bumpers of their cars. This practice is greatly influenced by the movie " The Fast and The Furious" and all its sequels as well as from the game "Need For Speed:Underground" and all its sequels.

The addiction of neon lights is a very cheap and effective way to pimp out the looks of your car. There are some cheap alternatives to neon lights, such as LED lights, but the effect that you get is not as good. You know what they say, you get what you paid for.

Good and cheap neon lights can be easily found on eBay, and when you think about it anything that has to do with anything can be found on eBay. In a previous post I wrote about Lamborghini Styled Doors, and there I gave a link to an eBay seller that sells cheap door hinges so that you can convert your ride to a Lamborghini Styled one. So this is one more cheap way ti enhance the looks of your car and you can find it on eBay!

2008 Mercedes GLK-Class Spy Shots

Spy Shots: 2008 Mercedes GLK-Class 2

These shots were taken by Hans G. Lehmann and are of the all new GLK-class of Mercedes. The new SUV by the German giant is meant to compete with the BWM X3 and Audi's upcoming Q5. This is the reason why the new Mercedes GLK will be smaller the the usual SUVs made by Mercedes and it will hopefully be more affordable.

The Peugeot here is hidden with the green covers, because the guys from the company don't want the public to know that its the new car. These pictures were taken while the company was at Africa trying to shoot a commercial.

Volvo coming out with new SUV 2009



The new SUV that Volvo is supposed to launch for mass production in 2009 will be called the XC60 . The new SUV is supposed to be a rival to Land Rover's Freelander. This new car is not officially announced, but the UK magazine publisher autoexpress has "spy" pictures of it. They say and I quote " At first glance, the car in our spy pictures looks like an ordinary XC70. But look closely, and you'll notice it's a test mule wearing a raised and shortened version of the estate's body."

This is a bald move by Volvo as they are not as experienced as Land Rover in making SUVs but I think, based on the cars that they make, that the SUV should be nice, however I don't think it will be able to match up to the Freelander, but thats just me.

The Volvo SUV XC60 will be have a all-wheel-drive system focused for on-road driving because of the fact that Volvo is trying to make more sales. This feature will hopefully make people prefer the XC60 over a regular car. The SUV will be borrowing the Freelander's 128bhp 2.2 L diesel engine, making the SUV a gas burner. Over all the XC60 appears to be nice, but if you prefer class and heritage, then you will definetly get a Land Rover

Audi R8 - Audi's Sports Car

Great curves

This brand new car from Audio totally changes the way people see Audi, and totally change Audi's image. This new car goes against everything that Audi has ever made, and this was exactly what they were going for. Audi is currently trying to increase its sails in the U. S. because the car doesn't have a good image here. Audi engineers hope that the new sporty look of the car will help Audi's marked in America.

The Audi R8 isn't just innovative on the outside, but on the inside as well. The dashboard includes all the gadgets that you would expect from the S class of Mercedes, or the new Lamborghinis, but now Audi has it too. All these new innovations would probably explain the mind blowing price tag of $112,000 which very few people can afford.

I would say that this car is worth every dollar that they ask for because, first of all it is a German car and everybody knows what that means, and second of all it has a 420 hp , V-8 engine that will blow your mind, making The R8 a real sports car by any standard!

Civic 'Cossie' - Better then the Type-R

Honda Civic Type R

When the Honda Civic Type-R came out it was the hottest and sportiest Honda out there. Now the news for the competition got even worst. The engineers from Japan have came up with a new Honda to compete with the Ford Escort Cosworth. As you can see from the picture above, as far as looks go, the Honda Type-R-R or also known as 'Cossie' , has beat the Ford by a lot!

When the new Honda Type-R-R was being created the engineers took the basic Type-R and made some serious modifications to it so that it can not only look more sporty, but actually perform like some of the top sports cars. To achieve that Honda reduced the weight of the car to a minimum. They did that by removing anything from the car that is not absolutely necessary, and there were quite a few things that were removed. The major thing that has been removed from the original Type-R to form the new Type-R-R is the car stereo, and also the sound deadening. To some people these things are very important, but I personally would trade a stereo for some extra torque or a few extra miles added to the top speed. Honda also added new sports seats so that the car is more comfortable for the driver, and so that he can see and maneuver better. The suspension of the car has also been lowered to give the car a even sportier look and better grip of the road.

The most fascinating thing about the new Honda is its engine. The engine of the Type-R-R is supposed to be a secret, but the Honda engineers couldn't keep something so awesome to themselves so they shared the news. The new engine in the car is a 2.0 liter i-VTEC , and for Honda this is something new, because there engines are usually smaller. What is more unusual then this sit that the engine has 250bhp, which is amazing for any car, let alone for a car that has such great weight reduction! In order to get the most of the engines power the new Honda comes standardly equipped with a ECU to help fuel distribution at the different RPMs and to there for help fuel economy.

The new Honda also has a brand new gear system, which allows a 80 millisecond gear change, which means that if this car needs to go fast it can do it very quickly, just by simply flooring the gas and going trough the gears really fast!

The Honda Type-R-R is the best sports Honda so far, because it took all the good things from the originally good Type-R, and replaced all the flaws that it had to make what some will call a masterpiece!

Ford recalls 527,000 Escape SUVs

http://www.puredieselpower.com/catalog/images/fordescape.jpg


Ford is recalling 527,000 Escape sport-utility vehicles because of a problem in the antilock braking system that could cause fires, the company said Tuesday.

Missing or incorrectly installed wiring harness seals on the Escape's antilock brake connector could allow water and other contaminates such as brake fluid or road salt to enter the ABS connector causing corrosion.



The corrosion, in turn, could "lead to an illuminated ABS warning indicator, an open fuse, and in some rare instances smoking, melting or burning of the electrical ABS connector," the company said in a statement.

The recall affects 444,880 Escapes from the 2001-2004 model years in the U.S., as well as 82,000 Escapes in Canada, Mexico and Europe, Ford said.

The hybrid version of the Escape is not included in the recall, although the Mazda Tribute, which is essentially a twin of the Ford Escape, is being included, according to spokesperson Kristen Kinley.

Ford said there had been about no reported accidents or injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating the issue.

Under the recall, Ford dealers will inspect the antilock braking system for corrosion and replace it if necessary.

New York Auto Show - Impreza saloon booted out in UK!



Neither the four-door version of the new car nor the sporty WRX variant will make it to British showrooms.

We revealed details of the all-new line-up last week (Top Story, Issue 955), and the family car was displayed at the New York Motor Show in both hatchback and saloon guises. However, the booted model won't come to the UK as the brand seeks to rival the Honda Civic and VW Golf, which both sell in greater numbers with five doors rather than four.

A spokesman said: "We've sold more saloons in the UK as our rally car has always been a four-door, but the next WRC Impreza will be a hatch."

While normally aspirated 1.5 and 2.0-litre five-doors arrive towards the end of the year, performance fans will have to wait until 2008 for the hot STi model. This will deliver 300bhp from its turbocharged 2.5-litre boxer engine.

That means the 225bhp WRX available in the US will be axed here. "We're trying to sell more normally aspirated cars and lower the range's average CO2 output," added the spokesman.

The Best Cars of 2006 - Chrysler 300

Chrysler 300

This is a big, beefy sedan that's American and proud of it. Sounds simple, but that cupboard was bare for years before Chrysler released its award-winning 300.

Some say that the 300's success is only about its signature grille and muscle-man styling, but it's equally about the muscle under the hood, in the form of the optional 340-horsepower Hemi V-8. Some of the car's excellence can be traced to corporate sibling Mercedes-Benz, which had a hand in the transmission and suspension.

Flaws are few, including mediocre plastics inside and a center control panel with too many dinky buttons. The Hemi shuts down half its cylinders during cruising to boost mileage, though fuel- and price-conscious buyers should check out the 3.5-liter V-6 version.

The Best Cars of 2006 - Audi A6

Audi A6

Judging a luxury car comes down to how well it can juggle. Can it excel in design, performance, features, quality -- all while leaving you thoroughly entertained?

Among $40,000 to $65,000 sedans, the Audi A6 deserves top billing. The four-wheel-drive four-door topped our recent test of five mid-size luxury cars (January 2006) by perfectly balancing beauty and brawn, comfort and sportiness.

The body is modern but not too flashy; the sleek and comfy cabin again asserts Audi's leading position in interior design; the switches and knobs don't feel at all plasticky or flimsy. The 335-hp, 4.2-liter V-8 model is certainly potent, but it's the 255-hp, 3.2-liter V-6 that offers the most muscle for the dollar: That engine has a healthy amount of power but also delivers fuel economy of 21 mpg in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway.

The Best Cars of 2006 - Honda Accord

Honda Accord

Despite strong new competition from Toyota and Ford, Honda still sits at the head of the family-sedan table. The Accord is as roomy, comfortable and safe as its main rivals yet still feels more sporty and refined whenever the road throws you a curve.

Four-cylinder, 166-hp models are so smooth, affordable and economical that there's little reason to opt for the 244-hp V-6. The 2006 model gets a mild makeover for the exterior and interior, including new rear-end styling, as well as a new steering wheel, driver's gauges and seat fabrics.

All Accords feature side- and side-curtain air bags, six-cylinder models add standard electronic stability control, and the EX V-6 now offers a six-speed manual transmission.

The Best Cars of 2006 - BMW 3 Series

BMW 3 Series

After serious challenges from Infiniti and Lexus, BMW released a new 3 Series last year, and its subtle gains in power, braking and handling have vaulted the four-door to the top of the pack once again.

The new 3.0-liter inline-six engine now produces 255 horsepower for the 330i. The small four-door remains one of the best handling cars on the road, period.

The interior isn't groundbreaking, but at least BMW's oft-lambasted iDrive controller (a big console-mounted knob that operates almost everything in the car -- and does so in a confusing fashion) is an option here, one you can happily skip.

The Best Cars of 2006

http://static.blogo.it/autoblog/mazda3_06_3.jpg

In the next couple of days I will be covering the best cars of 2006, based CNN.

Today's car is Mazda 3. Here is what Money Magazine said about it:

Any shortlist of compact cars is sure to include the Toyota Corolla and the all-new 2006 Honda Civic, but the Mazda 3 is simply a cut above. It's practical and easy on gas, but also stylish and fun to drive.

Sedan shoppers can choose the 3i model's 150-hp, 2.0-liter 4 or the 3s model's 2.3-liter 4 with 160 hp. The handsome five-door hatch gets the 2.3-liter only; that engine is paired with a new five-speed automatic and anti-lock brakes, both of which are standard.

Options include a navigation system and satellite radio. Go easy on extras and a well-equipped 3 can be had for $16,000 to $17,000.

Expect more soon.

Review - Honda Fit

http://www.autonews24h.com/img/200602/Honda-Fit-hybrid.jpg

The Honda Fit is the all new "car" from Honda. I say "car" because this is not a mid sized car and its not a mini van either, its both. The Honda Fit is called Fit for a reason. Although it might not look like it it is very roomy. This car has more room on the inside then most SUVs have, but it looks more stylish and it is more gas efficient.

What makes the Fit so roomy is what is know as 2nd-row Magic Seat. What this does is it fold the second row of seats and creates so much room that it makes the room of the SUVs look small. This car is now being introduced because people need smaller cars with more room, and with today's soaring gas prices the Honda Fit is the perfect solution. The Honda Fit 5-speed automatic averages 31 miles/gallon in the city and 38 miles/gallon on the highway, and this is the reason why some people buy this car.

The image “http://www.motiontrends.com/2006/m01/honda/honda_fit_sport_console.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Another reason why people buy it is because the Honda Fit Sport. The Sport model is basically the same except it comes with 15 inch alloy rims and some bumpers and side skirts. The regular model costs around $13,000 and the Sport is about $15,000. The price, the space, and the gas efficiency are some strong reasons for people to consider buying this car, but I personally won't buy it because I don't like that type of cars, but hey that's just me.

Attempt at a New Diesel Land speed Record

The image “http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/04/dieselmax.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

British construction equipment manufacturer JCB aims to set a new diesel land speed record with this Bonneville streamliner powered by two backhoe engines. Really. The JCB Dieselmax H1 is motivated by a pair of JCB444 diesels normally used with the company's backhoe models.

The firm announced Thursday that the streamliner is scheduled for an August attempt to break the 33-year-old diesel speed record of 235.756 mph, set by Virgil Snyder in the Thermo King Streamliner. The Dieselmax will be driven by Britain's own Andy Green, holder of the unlimited land speed record.

The two LSR four-cylinder diesels use a standard production engine block, cylinder head and bedplate, upgraded with direct injection, two-stage turbocharging and a host of other mods to boost power output to 750 hp. Redlined at 3800 rpm, each engine produces nearly 1,100 ft-lb of torque. The engines will run with about 75 psi (!) of boost at full power. At 150 hp/liter, JCB claims the Dieselmax engines are the world's highest specific power diesel car engines.

Chevy Impala SS - Every Rapper's Dream

This is the car that every rapper dreams about at night. This particular one is a 1964 Impala SS. These cars, although they might not seem like powerful cars, have a 200 horsepower engine. If you watch rap videos you probably have seen one of those in between the dozens of girls with their boobs half way out of their bra's. This car, hooked up with hydraulics and some 8 inch wheels will make some rapper very happy, or some white spoiled suburban kid who knows?
