Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Car

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X  is offered in two trim levels. The entry-level GSR is offered with a five-speed manual transmission, Recaro Sport seats and Enkei wheels, as well as optional spoiler, HID headlights, and upgraded sound system.

The upgraded MR includes Mitsubishi's new Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission (TC-SST), Eibach springs and Bilstein shock absorbers, lightweight brake rotors and BBS forged-alloy wheels, and extra sound insulation, as well as optional navigation, upgraded audio with Sirius Satellite reception, and leather seats.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X will be capable to produce maximum power of 291 bhp at 6500 rpm and peak torque of 492Nm at 3500rpm. Mitsubishi lancer Evolution X comes with 16 Valve, MIVEC, DOHC, Turbo engine along with 5-speed manual transmission.

The S-AWC system, which regulates torque and braking at each wheel includes a bevy of acronyms: ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Center Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS, an ABS system designed for aggressive driving. The biggest difference over the outgoing car is the large number of yaw sensors included in the system, all designed to keep the Evo X on its intended path. The S-AWC system can be set for three different road surfaces: tarmac (standard), ice and gravel

The Twin Clutch SST on the MR appears similar to Audi /VW's DSG system; even and odd gears are on separate clutches for rapid-fire shifting and no torque loss between gears. Shifting of the TC-SST is controlled by alloy paddles on the steering wheel or the gear shift lever when in manual mode, and by the engine computer in automatic mode. The system has three modes: Normal, Sport and S-Sport, the latter providing the most aggressive, fast shifts.

Safety measures include the Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) unibody system to disperse energy in front and side impact collisions and protect the fuel system from rear impact, and front and side impact air bags, plus a driver's knee air bag.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 offering 465 horsepower and 465 lb-ft. of torque, the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is by far the most powerful Jeep ever offered. As a result, Jeep says that it should be capable of sprinting to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds with a mid-13 second quarter mile figure. Top speed is limited to 155 mph.

That power comes courtesy of an all-new 6.4-liter HEMI V8 that builds on the outgoing 6.1-liter model by offering an additional 45 horsepower and 45 lb-ft. of torque. Chrysler says that its engineers worked especially hard to make 90 percent of the engine’s peak torque available between 2,800 and 6,000 rpm.

To reduce fuel consumption, an active valve exhaust system cuts out four cylinders, which Jeep says helps increase fuel economy by 13 percent on the highway. Combined with a large gas tank, Jeep says the Grand Cherokee SRT8 should be capable of a 450 mile range.

Inside, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 gains steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to control the five-speed automatic transmission.

Jeep says it worked hard to further refine the Grand Cherokee SRT8's handling by building on the all-new WK2 platform with a new Selec-Track traction-enhancing system. With a name that conjures up images of Jeep’s SelecTrac transfer case, the new Selec-Track interacts with the stability control, adaptive damping, transmission shift strategy, transfer case torque proportioning, electronic limited slip differential, throttle control and cylinder de-activation. Five modes – Auto, Sport, Tow, Track and Snow – ensure ideal traction for any situation. Unlike the previous Grand Cherokee SRT8, the new SUV is designed to be used year round for a variety of uses – even towing. This car can be obtained at a price of $ 55.295.

2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang

With shaved pounds and a supercharged engine, the Ford Shelby GT500 has the stellar performance to complement its stunning piece of design. Lighter by a little over 100 pounds (with the coupe weighing 3,820 pounds and the convertible packing in 3,969 pounds) yet more balanced and fuel-efficient, the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 is a

At first glance, the news in the engine bay isn't all that promising. It's still a 5.4-liter supercharged and intercooled V8 backed by a six-speed manual transmission. Peak power climbs just 10 hp from 540 to 550 thanks mostly to a increase in exhaust-pipe diameter from 2.5 inches to 2.75 (The larger pipes reduce back pressure). Torque remains at 510 lb-ft, but it occurs 250 rpm lower, at 4250. A larger intercooler has also been added, for more consistent performance.

The argument could be made that the GT500 didn't need more power. What it really needed was less weight, especially over the nose. And thanks to an aluminum block, the engineers trimmed 102 off the front, which should be a welcome change. More on that in a bit.

Like all Mustangs, the GT500 now has electric power steering, and SVT used this opportunity to retune the effort curve. The stock suspension has not been changed, but there's a new optional Performance Pack that should tighten this car down even more. With this optional model, the front spring rates are 20 percent stiffer, the rears go up eight percent and there's also a stiffer rear antiroll bar. Ride-height and rake changes (it's slightly lower in the front) attempt to increase corner-exit traction.

Perhaps most critical are what's in the fenders: New forged 20-inch wheels are lighter than the 19s and wear wider, Mustang-specific Goodyear performance tires. SVT engineers claim that the Performance Pack car is nearly 3 seconds a lap quicker around Gratten Raceway, a Michigan track that the local car companies use for testing. For those not accustomed to racing times, 3 seconds is an eternity. Acceleration figures should be better, but by only a tenth of a second or so. We expect it to hit 60 mph in the low 4-second range and cross the quarter-mile in less than 12.5 seconds.

Cosmetically, the changes are minor. Performance Pack cars will wear those massive wheels, and their stripes will be slightly thinner. Only fanatics will recognize the difference.

In other news, a glass roof becomes available on the GT500 for the first time. The convertible model returns, but it's been stiffened structurally by 30 percent and now sports standard 19-inch wheels.

2012 Carlsson Mercedes-Benz SLK


The new sport car generation of marcedes-benz Carlsson is One of the best tuners in the world, they are able to turn Mercedes Benz cars into well rounded supercars that set the standards on how Mercedes Benz cars must be modified. This time, they have taken the Classic SLK and turned it into a total masterpiece.

The aerodynamics system, consisting of a front spoiler and rear apron insert (for cars with the AMG sports package, code 950), underscores the car’s sporty geometry and guarantees an additional downforce at the rear axle (the front spoiler and the rear insert are available for 620 Euro each, excluding VAT). The car’s front is perfected by the new front spoiler lip RS (available for 549 Euro and optional in real carbon) while the grille inserts made from electropolished stainless steel (449 Euro) replace the standard synthetic honeycombs in the front apron. The rear view meanwhile is dominated by the stainless steel sports silencer with two stainless steel pipes left and right in the typical oval Carlsson shape (available for 1298 Euro). The acoustic engineers at Carlsson have developed an amazing sporty sound in a way that optimises flow and really underscores the character of the SLK. The diffuser insert and the well-designed rear spoiler cause the contact pressure at the rear axle to increase even further.

Carlsson has drawn on its years of experience in enhancing engine power to present, for the first time, the Carlsson C-Tronic for the current generation of CGI engines. Thanks to the additional control units, the engine power is boosted by anything between 27 and 40 hp. The new C-Tronic makes use of the unit’s existing reserves and, thanks to the connection to the car’s electronics system, ensures that the relevant safety limits are adhered to and that the engine is not exposed to any excessive wear. Through elaborate endurance testing, Carlsson has developed a new generation of additional control units for the current four-cylinder CGI engines. Durability is guaranteed by the car maker by way of a three-year warranty, valid from the date of installation.

The C-Tronic CB20 enables the SLK 200 CGI to achieve 211 hp (155 kW) while the C-Tronic CB20S allows it to reach 224 hp (165 kW), compared with the standard model’s basic power of 184 hp (135 kW). Meanwhile, the C-Tronic CB25 boosts the power of the SLK 250 CGI from 204 hp (150 kW) to 231 hp (170 kW) while the CB25S enables the engine to achieve 239 hp (165 kW). (The C-Tronic CB20 and CB25 are available for 1190 Euro and the C-Tronic CB20S and CB25S for 1690 Euro.)

The lowering of the car’s centre of gravity by up to 30 millimetres further increases the car’s dynamics without impacting upon comfort levels. Furthermore, the suspension lowering kit (309 Euro), used in conjunction with tyres of up to 20 inches, add the final touches to the car’s upgrade. Complete wheel sets starting at 18 inches are available from 1930 Euro.
