New Nissan Juke Cars

The good thing 0f Nissan Juke is that, out of the box becoming more and more frequent for first time vehicles, the look works much better within 3d as compared to 2.A weird mix of coupe and also crossover, the actual Nissan Juke mashes numerous Nissan design cues in to a crazed pastiche: the particular swollen steering wheel arches and also elongated change signal lighting of the Leaf, the actual rounded rear hatch-out with the Infiniti crossovers, the particular 370Z’s tail lighting (having a sprint regarding Volvo C30 combined in) and also the Z-meets-Kia Spirit greenhouse actually blend for a appear that’s utterly special, and not totally uncomfortable. Merely the front-end remains truly difficult face-to-face, together with Nissan-consistent turn sign lights combating with regard to interest with the protruding, nostril-like circular headlights. An even more brand-consistent front-end end could have extended the actual Nissan Juke’s attractiveness on this nation, however alternatively, privacy gets rid of in the under-publicized subcompact crossover segment (observe: Suzuki SX4). However even failing to remember the fact appearance are a great certainly summary matter, it simply wouldn’t end up being reasonable to blame the particular Juke’s designers regarding ruining the vehicle. That’s simply because Nissan’s product-planning as well as market-research groups experienced basically damage the particular Juke just before just one stylist had the chance to feel that. According to Nissan’s representatives, the Juke was created using a extremely certain marketplace in mind: 18-34 year-old men producing $45k+, or as Nissan telephone calls them, “Urban Encounter Hunters.” This emphasis ‘s what permitted the particular adventurous outside style, but more to the point this obviously directed the expansion group to stress design over compound upon just about any crucial selection.

This is most obvious in the Nissan Juke’s the labels, which usually scrupulously prevents any kind of hint of usefulness. The actual concealed back door handles give the Juke any surprisingly coupe-like look, but they additionally hint on the raise bench’s coupe-like visits. Knee and also headroom tend to be seriously restricted for anybody approaching the six-foot tag, and claustrophobes associated with a dimensions do not need to use. Involving the pinched-off green house, along with a moonroof (common commencing at the midlevel “SV” trim) that brings the headliner actually lower (before terminating several in . From your raise passenger’s temple)

The actual Nissan Juke’s again seat is really a darkish, unsatisfied spot. Because the rear seats don’t fold smooth, and cargo space under the hatch is limited, the particular Juke plainly wasn’t developed to use being a actual crossover.

Nor has been the Juke designed to help to make excellent about it is elevated, SUV-inspired pretensions. Nissan didn’t supply any possibility to check the Juke upon some thing severe compared to difficult tarmac, as well as the Public relations reps lightly fended away from questions about the Juke’s capability on difficult terrain simply by emphasizing it is objective like a “urban crossover.” And with justification: the black plastic material faux-skidplate around the Juke’s nostril may appear to be it’s made to increase the approach perspective, but usually this basically conceals (as opposed to shields) the low-hanging radiator that could be profoundly vulnerable within a good rock-strewn grime road circumstance. Moreover, Nissan will not make any off-tarmac promises concerning it’s actually torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive method, centering as an alternative upon it is “enhanced agility” and also ability to lessen understeer inside on-road cornering.Using its pretensions associated with crossover practicality and SUV capability removed aside, the particular Juke’s leftover identity can be as any slightly-practical sports activities coupe having a large with capacity of place, and also on this kind of level it really works much better than you could possibly expect. Sure Virginia, underneath the Juke’s shock-factor styling as well as tiers associated with exactly what do only end up being appropriately described as marketing and advertising bullshit, Nissan’s technicians possess constructed a really amazing tiny automobile.You start with the platform that supports the Nissan Versa (a car which exactly no one good remarks for the dynamic skills), Nissan’s technical engineers widened the particular monitor by a complete 3 inches, and also were paid having a large, chuckable small automobile that’s a lot more entertaining than it has any kind of directly to become. Regardless of the jacked-up mass necessary to retain Urban Experience Searchers through experience like they’re generating one thing greater than a simple car (within AWD/CVT reduce it’s a 3,Thousand lb B-segment car), entire body roll is virtually nonexistent. Although steering is around the mild part by fanatic requirements, it’s nevertheless sensitive and also exact. Using a small controls in the improved “command-style” driver’s chair adds the actual Juke a unique feel in passionate driving that’s entertaining in the completely unserious method. Imagine a cross between the Little plus a Subaru Forester XT, and you’re having the picture.

But if the Nissan Juke’s framework is just a lot better than you’d assume, its common 1.6 litre, direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder engine is actually without having issue the only finest cause to ignore all of the Metropolitan Knowledge Seeker twaddle as well as push the odd tiny Nissan. Producing 188 h . p . as well as 177 lb-ft, this small cracker of an motor fizzes along with brio and motivates the Juke along with aplomb. Turbo be is small, despite the fact that it’s enough in order to gradual position commences noticeably. However in return for your sacrifice, a carefully-driven Juke must very easily come back the actual 25/30 Miles per gallon it’s with a rating of in the thirstiest trim. Besides, in-gear acceleration is really a far more essential real-world feature, and the Juke contentedly pushes through just about all 6 (handbook) gears having an transmittable, physical, zinging complain. If downsized, direct-injected, turbocharged search engines are the potential (and they’re), the Nissan Juke’s lively work will be cause of positive outlook.

So too may be the Continually Varied Transmitting (CVT), that retains its simulated gears with tenacity (specifically in “Sport” setting), keeping the particular engine’s wonderful increase in a continual express associated with readiness. When the adversary of enthusiasm (as well as in underpowered programs like the Dice, it’s nevertheless a burden), the CVT’s digital heads have been well-refined, as well as it’s a great unobtrusive however intuitive companion in a kind of traveling design. The industry great point, thinking about the AWD system (a $1k upgrade) furthermore requires the rubber-band-box (a $500 alternative). However, the particular AWD’s positive aspects were hardly noticeable actually about rough sections of English Columbian back streets, and its particular excess weight and removal of under-floor safe-keeping in the shipment region rely in opposition to this.Provided the actual Juke’s wearing design, it’s difficult to recommend something other than the particular front-drive, guide transmitting drivetrain. Neither torque steer or understeer is a major problem within the Juke, as well as caning the actual fizzy tiny motor through 6 guide ratios is actually pure satisfaction. Such as its off-road pretensions and also stubborn design, the actual AWD choice appears to are present solely to satisfy the particular summary desires associated with Metropolitan Encounter Hunters rather than to truly increase the risk for Juke an improved car. As well as provided it’s actually disadvantages when it comes to usefulness, the extra space for storage inside FWD versions is likely to be used more often than any AWD advantage. Nonetheless, the actual Juke’s abundant generating character comes through in most of its drivetrain configurations.

dodge challenger srt8 392 kowalski edition picture

A lot of us may be too young to remember the glory days of auto movies in the 70s, but for those old enough to remember a movie called Vanishing Point starring Barry Newman, this little tuning project may be if interest. In the movie, Newman plays the role of Kowalski, man who makes some sort of bet that he could take a white 1970 Dodge Challenger and drive it all the way the from Colorado to San Francisco in just 15 hours. Apparently, Vanishing Point was one of the most iconic car movies of the era, having enjoyed cult status to its fans, including one Bob Frederick.
As the dealer of New Wilmington Dodge and a long-time fan of the movie, Frederick decided to do something really cool to pay homage to one of his favorite flicks by unveiling a special edition model of the 392 Inaugural Edition Dodge Challenger SRT8 and calling it the “Kowalski Edition”.

ford shelby gt500 super snake picture

The legendary Ford Mustang line has spit out many iterations in its decorated history, but of all the versions of that line, none has been more powerful than the Shelby GT500 Super Snake.
First introduced in 2008, the Shelby GT500 Super Snake has been the crown jewel of the Mustang line, a car that blends torque-twisting muscle with a supercar-like power that very few American-made cars can reach.
This month, the latest incarnation of the Shelby GT500 Super Snake will slither its way to New York when it makes its official debut at the New York International Auto Show.
The car’s debut in New York is symbolic of the rich history between the annual event and the American marquee. According to John Luft, president of Shelby American Inc., the New York International Show holds a special place in the hearts of Shelby. "The very first Shelby car was introduced there in 1962, as well as the 1968 and 2008 Shelby GT500KR and the 2006 Shelby Hertz GT-H," he said. "This year, we’re returning with one of the most powerful and important Shelbys ever built."
Needless to say, we’re all gearing up for the New York Auto Show, especially for the unveiling of this American icon.

2014 Mercedes C-Class Convertible


mercedes c-class convertible picture

Now that Mercedes has a sedan and a coupe version for the C-Class, anyone would expect to find a convertible staring at them in the near future. These people would absolutely be right, but the new convertible may contain a few differences compared to the current C-Class models. While the general design lines will remain the same, the C-Class Convertible model will not compete with the usual BMW 3-Series and Audi A5. Instead, Mercedes may be opting for a model that will be placed in a class below these competitors. This decision shouldn’t be too surprising considering the company has just brought the E-Class Convertible on the market and offering a similar model wouldn’t make good business sense.
Following the usual trend lines, the C-Class Convertible will also get an AMG version, but while the entry level models will get a four-cylinder engine, the AMG version will use the same 5.5 biturbo V8 engine used in the CLS63 AMG. The only difference provided for the engine will be that power will be reduced to about 420 HP compared to the current 525 HP. Customers will also have the possibility of opting for a Performance Package that will increase the total output to about 450 HP. This will ensure a 0 to 60 mph sprint of about 5 seconds, while top speed will be limited to 155 mph.
Expect to see the Mercedes C-Class Convertible on the streets at or a little before 2014.

New Bmw Cars

New Class

The New Class (German: Neue Klasse) was a line of compact sedans and coupes starting with the 1962 1500 and continuing through the last 2002s in 1977. Powered by BMW's celebrated four-cylinder M10 engine, the New Class models featured a fully independent suspension, MacPherson struts in front, and front disc brakes. Initially a family of four-door sedans and two-door coupes, the New Class line was broadened to two-door sports sedans with the addition of the 02 Series 1600 and 2002 in 1966.
Sharing little in common with the rest of the line beyond power train, the sporty siblings caught auto enthusiasts' attention and established BMW as an international brand. Precursors to the famed BMW 3 Series, the two-doors' success cemented the firm's future as an upper tier performance car maker. New Class four-doors with numbers ending in "0" were replaced by the larger BMW 5 Series in 1972. The upscale 2000C and 2000CS coupes were replaced by the six-cylinder BMW E9, introduced in 1969 with the 2800CS. The 1600 two-door was discontinued in 1975, the 2002 replaced by the 320i in 1975.

2011 Project 599 GTB Eligos & 612 Adonai by SR Auto Group


project 599 gtb eligos amp 612 adonai by sr auto group

We’ve just recently discovered the fabulous tuning projects from American tuner, SR Auto Group, whose packages transform any ordinary car into a beautiful work of killer art. Anyone that remembers their Project Pur R8 ’Phantom’ knows exactly what we are talking about. But now, the tuner has moved on to two more sports cars that need little to no tuning to be awesome in their own right: the Ferrari 599 GTB and the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
The tuning packages for the 599 GTB and the 612 are called Eligos (Great Duke of Hell) and Adonai (Hebrew name for God), respectively. The Eligos combines a matte black exterior paint with a dark metallic color, and a new set of ADV.1 wheels. The Adonai package comes in white exterior paint or a matte white wrap. It is combined with a black roof and a new set of ADV.1 wheels. Both cars feature a red trim for that extra little splash of devilish charm.
