We almost thought it will never get built ..
The specs look great , a 2.2 diesel engine and a 2.5 l turbocharged petrol engine . 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds at 173bph

Ford has built something we can call a Muscle Mondeo , muscle in all aspects , power and looks

Also not to forget the sports suspension and bi-xenon headlights .

The price will be around £25,355

Jaguar is launching the F-Type .

Looks like Hyundai has done its homework for the i800

The new Audi TT Clubsport will soon be on the streets .
Packed with a 2.0l engine (taken from the S3) that unleashes 300bhp . This makes the Clubsport a very competitive car . Unfortunatelly we do not have a release date , but we will find it :)
All i can say is that the new TT will be a head turner , it is a beautiful car

We will get back to you soon with more info

The Black Blood Veyron is here . You can say what you want but this car gives me the shivers . A superb 4 wheel monster that will rule the roads
The Veyron Sang Noir – The latest Volkswagen owned supercar . We do not have a price for this beast , but if we take into consideration that the Sang Noir will have a lightweight carbon fibre bonnet , bright orange leather mirror clad and an overall exclusive cabin we can bet that it will cost more than the Pur Sang .

The price of 1 million pounds (and more) will make this Veyron a very exclusive car

This funky Alfa Spider will be made in only 200 examples . The Limited Edition will cost £25,500 and will have a 2.2 l 185bhp petrol engine (0-60 mph in 8.8 seconds) – Top Speed 139mph

It will cost the same as a standard Spider , but as you can see it will be stunning , four colours to choose from and a lot if perks on the interior . Leather Interior and electric heating in the seats are just two of the many improvements

This Spider is on sale as we speak , i am sure there are many Alfa fans already lined up for it

Vauxhall launches the soft top Tigra ?
The answer is no , it is just an illusion

It is called the Sport Rouge edition , and the metal roof is wrapped in Red cloth. It will cost aprox 15.700 £ and will be available in 1.4 and 1.8 l petrol engine and a 1.3l diesel engine.
The Sport Rouge edition costs more than the standard version but it has more eyecandy , a new audio system , default alarm , and a wind deflector

Why buy a car with a metal roof but covered in cloth ? Some say that people love the idea of a soft top but will dot buy it because it is so fragile . The Sport Rouge edition has both and if i may say it looks perfect

At a price of 22,000 £ the new entry level Audi TT will be the cheapest TT on the market. Don’t be fooled by the price , this car can still pack a punch. With a 1.8 TFSI 158bhp engine that will do 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds this TT will be fast. The front wheel drive version will reach 140mph – now isn’t that a bargain, cheaper than any TT arround but still strong enough to be called a true Audi

Can’t wait to see this marvel on the road
