Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid

I think if I had the money or even had the courage to drive this car.. I seriously would. If any of you readers adore fast, luxury, world renowned cars.. this is the one. Who does not know Porsche? If you don't, it's time you do. You will understand why I say "if I had the money". You may agree that this brand has a reason for it being world renowned. Keep reading and I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Many roads lead to your destination. But which ones take you further? To a new future? With a sports car for the road and for the 21st century?

E-mobility is the next big step. With the Panamera S E-Hybrid they are bringing to the road a total concept that networks the car and its driver in an intelligent way. Its performance puts most sports cars to shame. Yet its fuel consumption is far below the rate you would usually expect of a sports car.

Die-hard Panamera fans will probably notice the subtle cosmetic updates which include re-shaped headlights, LED taillights, new turn signals, front bumper with larger air intakes, and new placement for the license plate.

In the new Panamera S E-Hybrid, innovative battery technology and a powerful electric motor herald a little revolution in alternative drives: driving pleasure. Porsche round off their concept with practical solutions, which have had them realise with e-mobility services – smartphone access and control functionalities – and with practical charging systems. Now you can top up your car’s energy levels by plugging it into an electrical socket using the Porsche Universal Charger (AC) provided as standard. For an all-electric range of up to 36 km (in NEDC). Drive forces are transmitted as standard by the 8-speed Tiptronic S. Also fitted as standard are the adaptive air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the speed-sensitive Power steering Plus.

The Panamera S E-Hybrid maintains its visual identity with the customary ‘e-hybrid’ logo on the front doors, the ‘Panamera S’ logo on the rear hatch with an Acid Green surround, the same as the needles of the newly developed power meter in the centre of the instrument cluster. The brake calipers are also finished in Acid Green as standard. The features it shares with the S model – the exterior design and the exquisite styling of the interior – are similarly characteristic. It almost goes without saying that a comprehensive range of personalisation options is available.


Are you starting to agree with me yet? This Porsche really defines the word 'sleek' and fast, don't you think? Not only is the engine strong, but the exterior blows away my mind and what can I say, so does the interior. 




I can't help but adore this car even more! If I ever owned this a Panamera, I actually think I would name it.

The new Panamera S and 4S are now offered with twin-turbo V6 engines, instead of V8’s.  These V6 engines produce 414 HP and 384 pound-feet (520 Nm) of torque, mated to 7-speed PDK automatic transmissions.  The V6 engines produce 20 HP and 20 Nm of torque more than the V8 engines they replace.

G-Class SUV.

Everyone knows them and I guess you have all heard of them? Yep that's it, Mercedes Benz. One of my personal favourites and the dream car,

the G-Class.



So, have you ever heard of them or this 'it' car? No? Then... wait till you hear about it now. You'll know why it's one of my favourites. I'll tell you one thing; girls dig this car.


I think, no other vehicle frames three decades of legendary craftsmanship, capability and civility with such undaunted enthusiasm. With advanced new technology and a dramatically refined cabin, the icon remains a thriving legend.

Refined style.
Dramatically new cabin.
Entirely unabridged soul.

I tell you.. it sure has an 'iconic' design, epic character
Created to endure the most grueling challenges on six continents, the 34-year evolution of the G-Class reaches a new pinnacle of refinement, from more windswept mirrors to more advanced lighting. And yet its upright, uncomplicated elegance reinforces that its purposeful design is both unmistakable and irrefutable. What you see on its surface reflects its confident capability on any surface of the earth.

I totally agree, when they say; it has an 'artisanal quality, state-of-the-art luxury'

From its rugged ladder frame to its sustainably forested wood trim, the G-Class is impeccably crafted like no other SUV: by hand. And yet its redesigned cabin is a showcase of modern-day luxury. Heated and Active Ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a multifunction steering wheel, all hand-fitted in supple Premium leather, are just a sampling of what the G-Class considers basic survival gear.

Crafted by hand, easy to handle

In the G-Class, unexpected rewards are always awaiting your discovery. The galvanised steel body is hand-welded at over 6,000 points for exceptional rigidity, a benefit you can feel in the satisfying precision with which each door closes. The single, side-opening rear door is counterbalanced to open with minimal effort, even on an incline, and despite carrying the full-size spare tire where it's easy to reach.

Now girls, listen to this!

Mountainous torque,
muscular power

While its capability is legendary, the strength of the G-Class is epic: The 382-hp 5.5L V-8 in the G550 generates a 391 lb-ft torrent of torque and 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds. A new handcrafted 5.5L Direct Injection bi-turbo V-8 in the G63 AMG develops 536 hp and 560 lb-ft, and reaches 60 in 5.3 seconds. On either model, dual exhausts with genuine side pipes unleash a throaty rumble under acceleration while reining in emissions to certified ultra low levels.

Widest gear range of any SUV

With its versatile driver-adaptive 7-speed automatic transmission and 2-speed transfer case, the G-Class offers the broadest span of gear ratios in the SUV kingdom. So whether you're crawling up a mountain, merging into traffic or cruising on the open road, the ideal balance of torque and efficiency is at your command. And with standard new shift paddles, it's always close at hand, too.


I'd say... it's not only an ultimate car for anyone in particular, but the ideal 'guy' for a girl.. don't you think?


You can tell why I like it so much right? I'm guessing... you have fallen in love with it too? Now maybe, it's your dream car!

Audi R8.

Sharpening up the sporty spearhead.

Source: http://cdn.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/2013-Audi-R8-Track-Review-Philip-Island-08.jpgAudi is making its R8 high-performance sports car sharper and more attractive than ever. The S tronic makes its debut in the model series, which is now topped by the new R8 V10 plus. The all-LED front headlights and the new dynamic turn signals in the back are standard with all models; distinctive design details set accents. The R8 V8 Coupé weighs just 1,560 kilograms (3,439.21 lb) thanks to the Audi ultra lightweight construction principle.

The updated R8 showcases the full extent of Audi’s expertise in ultra lightweight construction. The aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF) of the Coupé weighs just 210 kilograms (462.97 lb), that of the Spyder 216 kilograms (476.20 lb) The body, which in the model with manual transmission includes a load-bearing engine frame made of magnesium, is the basis for the dynamic handling, the vibrational comfort, the crash safety and the precision fabrication. It is the primary reason that the R8 V8 Coupé with manual transmission (without driver) tips the scales at just 1,560 kilograms (3,439.21 lb); for the Spyder this figure is 1,660 kilograms (3,659.67 lb).

The R8 V10 plus, available only as a Coupé, has a curb weight of just 1,570 kilograms (3,461.26 lb), 50 kilograms (110.23 lb) less than the R8 V10. A lot of effort went into this weight reduction. Weight savings were extracted from the alloy wheels, the insulating materials, particularly in the area of the bulkhead between the cabin and the engine compartment, and from the seats. The ceramic brakes, the newly developed running gear, the front splitter and the rear diffuser also contributed to the weight reduction. The new top model has adjustable bucket seats with folding backrests and a chassis made of fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP).

Audi has been the leading brand in lightweight construction since the development of the first A8 in the 1990s. In ASF technology, the body's supporting structure is made up three wrought aluminum components; each component combines high strength with low weight. In the R8 Coupé, extruded sections comprise 69 percent of the body-in-white. Vacuum-cast nodes comprise eight percent, and the aluminum panels that close and stiffen the framework make up 23 percent. The R8 Spyder has a higher proportion of extruded sections (75 percent) and fewer panels (17 percent).

Audi R8 popularity forces the top European tuners to create different customisation options for that extreme car. Both interior and exterior design of the car could be changed in order to better the vision and make the car even more unique. Moreover packages to increase the overall performance are also available that enables the car to reach a maximum speed of around 40 km/h more than the non-tuning version. Also handling and braking are improved significantly.

Most popular tuning packages are:
  • Audi R8 Toxique
  • Audi R8 Supersport Edition
  • Audi R8 V10 Biturbo





So, which colour would you get?

The GOLF.


THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY APPRECIATE A VOLKSWAGEN IS TO EXPERIENCE ONE YOURSELF.

Unmistakable Golf.
Bigger may mean better, but it can also mean beautiful. At least, that’s what our product designers think. This is why they’ve kept the distinctive Golf look in the Wagon, with its signature powerful lines and distinctive front. Like its brother, there’s the powerful and broad lower air intake, decorated with a slim line radiator grille and framed by upward angled headlights. And even though the boot is bigger it’s still got those elegant rear light clusters, subtle full body coloured bumper and exposed dual exhaust tail pipes. 



All the creature comforts
We’re not sure how you’ll feel about the Golf Wagon. Maybe you’ll first need to feel the ergonomically designed, height adjustable driver’s seat. Or the dual zone climate control air conditioning*, which keeps you comfortable any time of year. Perhaps you want the hands-free communication from the optional Bluetooth phone connectivity and tactile, sculptured steering wheel. And music lovers will enjoy the MP3 compatible RCD310 audio system. "We’re hoping you’ll feel good about the Golf Wagon - because when you do, we do too."





Extra Wagon space
We’ve spent countless hours perfecting the Golf Wagon’s flexible storage options. Such as the easy-to-access luggage compartment with large tailgate. You can keep your items secure in the luggage area with strong tie down points and convenient luggage partition net, and make even more space by folding down the 60/40 split rear seat or utilising the hidden under floor storage. We’ve spent the time to save your time. 



Safety.
Keep your steering in check
To help you navigate through critical situations and avoid accidents, we’ve incorporated innovative Volkswagen technology into the Golf Wagon’s steering. If your wheels lose grip when driving in extreme conditions, the Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) will control the spin of your wheels, so the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) can help you control your steering.



Brake when you need to

Emergency braking isn’t something we take lightly. And it’s not something the Golf Wagon does either. In fact, when you suddenly brake, the Wagon’s Brake Assist system increases pressure to trigger the ABS, allowing you to maintain control while decelerating. Meanwhile, the Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD) regulates the braking power to ensure you don’t swerve while still braking fast, and hard – not lightly at all. 

Protect your passengers
The Golf Wagon can transport many things securely, including your passengers. In the event of an accident, the Wagon’s safety features work together to give maximum protection to you and your occupants. The rigid and reinforced body structure creates a solid passenger cell, absorbing the energy of the impact. Belt tensioners and six airbags (twin front, side and curtain) are then deployed to help reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries.
