In stock form the Bugatti Veyron is one of the most expensive cars in the world and recently set a top speed record. However, that wasn’t enough for the famous Swiss high performance tuner Mansory.
Mansory has created a Bugatti Veyron that is probably the “blingiest” and most expensive cars I’ve ever seen. The car is called Mansory Bugatti Veyron LINEA Vincerò and is made entirely out of hand-crafted carbon fiber and what’s not covered in carbon fiber, is covered in either leather or gold.
Nissan is releasing a few variations of their powerful sports car, the GT-R. In addition to the standard version, there is the Spec V, Club Track and the luxurious GT-R EGOIST special edition.
The GT-R EGOIST seems to be targeting luxury supercars such as the Maserati Gran Turismo and Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. If you hide the GT-R logo from the steering wheel, this car can easily be mistaken for Italy’s finest grand touring car (on the inside only). In addition to the seats, everything on the inside of the car is covered in leather – the door panels, center console and the dashboard – just the way we like it. The seating surface is quilted and customers can choose four different leather colors for the upper area and ten for the lower area. The seats are hand-made by a company in Germany.
As much as we love fast cars, we also have a thing for crazy off-road vehicles; we showed that love with the STARTECH Land Rover Defender. Now we bring you another cool off-road vehicle, the 2011 Land Rover Defender X-Tech Limited Edition, which will be revealed at the Brussels Motor Show.
Although the X-Tech Defender is not as luxurious as its STARTECH cousin, it does offer upgrades with leather upholstery and it comes with a set of matching floor mats. The center console is finished in body matching color, giving the plain interior of the Defender a bit of an upscale feel.
For our second official car review/test drive, we got a chance to play with the deliciously good Jaguar XFR. This is no ordinary four door family sedan: it comes with more horses than the Calgary Stampede, and it constantly urges you to go hunting for BMW M5’s and Mercedes AMG’s, which I did. I spent two and a half days looking for those German thoroughbreds, but I guess they migrated south for the winter.
Performance:
The Jaguar XFR is powered by a 5.0 liter supercharged V8 engine that produces a supercar-like 510 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 461 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm. That’s more horsepower than the all new Porsche 911 Turbo and the outgoing Ferrari F430; not too shabby for a “sedan”. All that power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts. The XFR sprints to 60 miles per hour in a very quick 4.5 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph, but it can actually go over 165 mph. I didn’t push it to that mark because I didn’t want to end up in jail and I didn’t have access to a track, but various magazines have taken it over its supposed limited top speed.
Mercedes-Benz just released quite a large number of pictures of the 3rd generation M-Class luxury SUV; you guessed it, in response to some recently leaked magazine or brochure pictures.
The 3rd generation Mercedes ML’s design stays true to the previous generation, with quite a bit refinement in the front and the back; from the side it looks very similar to the 2nd generation M-Class. The interior, however, sees a major upgrade and it looks like there is optional leather covered dashboard and other surfaces that are normally all plastic. It’s about time Mercedes started to use softer materials on their dashboards, I was very disappointed with the Chrysler-esque hard plastic dashboards on the E and C-Class cars.
Jaguar is known for making some of the sexiest cars available in the industry and the Jaguar C-X16 Concept car doesn’t fall far from the tree; it’s one sexy little machine! Unlike the C-X75 concept, this coupe looks more production ready and isn’t going to cost you an arm and a leg (among other body parts).
The C-X16 Concept is smaller than the XK and is meant to be more of a Porsche Cayman fighter. The car is powered by a 3.0 liter V6 supercharged engine producing 376 horsepower and 332 pound-feet (450 Nm) of torque. The car is also equipped with a 1.6 kWh battery pack mounted behind the seats, giving it a 50:50 weight ratio, that powers an electric motor that has been integrated into the 8-speed gearbox. The electric motor provides an additional 92 HP and 173 lb-ft (235 Nm) of torque with the push of a button on the steering wheel, just like in Formula1 cars.
Land Rover would like to gauge customer interest in the concept DC100 by showing it at the Los Angeles Auto Show; the DC100 is speculated to replace the Defender in a few years.
Land Rover will be showcasing two versions of the concept SUV, the hardtop and the open top (DC100 Sport). The Land Rover DC100 concept is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine while the DC100 Sport is powered by a 2.0 liter gasoline engine; no power figures were provided.
