The 2004 Nissan 350z is a V6, 287 bhp sports car that can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6 seconds. The body kit is somewhat radical in looks, yet the longer you look at it the better it becomes. If you love this car, you will also love the remote control version. Powered by a .15 cubic inch, 2-stroke engine, the nitro powered model can reach a top speed of 27 mph. This is more than fast enough especially if you are new to remote control cars. Here is a side-by-side comparison of the real 2004 Nissan 350z versus the 1/10 HPI Super Nitro RS4 RTR (w/ a Nissan 350z Nismo body kit). Also links...

Thus, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 becomes the fastest production car in the world. It has a very powerful engine pushing 1002 horse power!

This car has everything except a high class badge. The 3.0 V6 feels like an ordinary saloon if driven in economy mode, but switch to sport and it'll growl, throw you back in your seat and take flight (not a good idea coming away from the lights with another car right in front of you). It has a smooth Porsche Tiptronic gearbox, so you can drive in full automatic, or change gears yourself (sans clutch) if you prefer. The only probably with the manual gear mode is that if the car doesn't think the revs are right, it won't change until it's ready... defies the point a bit. ...

First seen at the 2000 Geneva Autoshow, the big cat inspired Peugeot 607 Feline was designed at the La Garenne Design Centre. Usually concept cars are created to preview and perfect upcoming models. The 607 Feline didn't follow this trend, since it was designed after the introduction of the 607. Peugeot's original brief for the 607 Feline was to concieve a luxurious, racy roadster with some design elements borrowed from the 607 sedan, such as the front end and the rear light cluster. All four wheels are pushed to the extreme corners of the Feline, possible for a one-off concept,...

The new generation Focus will continue a family tradition that has seen the model provide the backbone of Ford's motorsport activity since 1999.

"Ford's long-term commitment to the WRC will provide a great boost to the sport," said Jost Capito, director of the Ford Team RS.

Ever since 1927, Horch had made a ‘Horch 8 Sport Cabriolet’. These were initially two-door, two-seat open cars with two side windows only, and two ‘dickey’ seats at the back. As the years passed, the models acquired more space at the back. In 1932, the relevant model in the Horch catalogue was the Type 780. Its successor in 1935 was the 853, one of the most beautifully styled cars of its entire era.

When the evolutionary version of the Cosmo Sport was launched, another sensational vehicle was also introduced to the market in July 1968. Mazda developed a brand-new Familia Rotary Coupe based on the design study model, the Mazda RX-85, which was first unveiled in front of the public during the Tokyo Motor Show the previous year. The Familia Rotary Coupe featured an identical rotary unit to that powering the Cosmo and, at the same time, offered cabin comfort comparable to a family vehicle. The company also took this high-performance touring car to the racetrack. In the Grand Prix of Singapore,...
