2011 Land Rover Range Rover Review

Perhaps no other vehicle bridges, a considerable gap between luxury uptown and let the muscle just like the Land Rover Range Rover 2011. The bones still remember in the same mountain goat-ready rock that made its debut more than 40 years ago, but the inside and outside, bears hallmarks of England ambition and taste for the finer pleasures of life.


Last year, the Range Rover has received the engine and interior renovations, including new direct-injection 5.0-liter V8. 2011 Range Rover carries over the changes, and with the addition of updates for its Terrain Response System and the interior. Reclining rear seats with headrest with wings, similar to the airliner, now an option, and the new engine represents a significant improvement over the previous 4.4-liter V8 and 4.2 liter. The current basis for Central makes 375 hp and produces 510 hp supercharged version devastating. Fuel economy, however, remains in a poor, but considering the general trend, it is a trade-off you can live with.

2011 Lexus GS 350 Review

For his merits, 2011 Lexus GS 350 is a fine selection of luxury sports sedan. It offers performance prestige, comfort and a lot of high-level functions in order to please some of the most demanding buyers. GS 350 pit against some of the competitors in Europe, but its charm fades as sedans seem to be doing more things just a little 'better.

GS 350 incidents, small as they are, are a little 'less headroom and less responsive suspension. For an average-sized drivers, who have little desire for sporty handling, these defects can be easily forgiven, given that the Lexus excels in almost every other category. A quiet house offers the segment leader in convenience enveloping quality materials, craftsmanship and passengers.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Review

Two new models debut Lamborghini Gallardo 2011: 570-4 Superleggera coupe and Spyder convertible 570-4 Performance. Both are light versions of the Gallardo, which uses extensive carbon fiber components. As the name suggests the model they also have more power than the standard Gallardo.

There are things about the 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo that we can not share with you in this review model. Oh, it's not something taboo, such as illegitimate children, or the fact that both wet the bed. Rather, there is simply no way to properly express through words, the aspects to be heard, seen and felt. For example, we could come up with clever metaphors comparing the majestic roar of the V10 Lamborghini talents of Pavarotti singing, but they would never do it justice.

Therefore, we leave the sound on YouTube, the video of our own gallery of photos in hand and the feeling of your local Lamborghini is expected to consider worth a test drive. But here are the cold, the meat and potatoes in the analysis Gallardo that could help determine if this is the car exotic to add to your garage.

2011 Koenigsegg Agera R Review


Koenigsegg seeks to challenge the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport for the title of fastest car in the world, with 1,115 new horses AGER R. unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show in mid-AGER R engines are 205 hp more than the standard Ager. Believe us, by most measures recently introduced AGER and is fast enough.


Powered by a 910-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine, developed and built by Koenigsegg, Standard joint has a top speed of around 245 mph. To better the Almighty Bugatti Veyron, the joint action of R need to exceed 268 mph.


The fastest car in the world

Not long ago, Koenigsegg has shocked the automotive world, when he was about to buy General Motors Saab. Now, this small Swedish company has once again do what he does best, the construction of fast exotic cars and expensive, and the new R AGER as called high-performance sound card.
