Its red paint eye catching sports car hard to ignore.

2013 Porsche Cayman

The 2013 Porsche Cayman is tuned to produce 275 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque from its 2.7-liter boxer-six, which is 10 hp and 7 lb-ft more than the Boxster. Next is the 3.4-liter six-cylinder in the Cayman S with an output of 325 hp and 272 lb-ft, a bump of 10 hp and 7 lb-ft compared to the Boxster S. Performance numbers include an estimated 0-60 mph time of 5.1 and 4.6 seconds for the base and S models respectively (equipped with Sport Chrono dual-clutch automatic PDK). EPA-rated fuel economy on the 2013 Porsche Cayman has yet to be announced, but the 2013 Boxster’s mileage ranges from 22/32 mpg city/highway in base-engine PDK trim to 20/28 mpg in manual-transmission Boxster S trim.

Exterior

Porsche calls its new Cayman a completely new model, but its "significant" changes aren’t that obvious. You need a really keen eye to notice the difference between the old and new, either way you will just say: "Well, this is just a Cayman!"

The 2013 Cayman is built on an extended wheelbase with shorter overhangs that help improve its aerodynamics.

Up front, the Cayman has received new cooling air intakes with integrated four-point daytime running lights. Yes, these will be the only elements that will help you identify the new Cayman viewing it from the front. For the rear, Porsche did a few more updates, including a new boot-lid made from aluminum, an LED brake light at the upper edge of the rear window and a new rear spoiler that deploys at a steeper angle.

2013 Toyota 4Runner

Drive train configurations include rear wheel 4x2, part-time 4x4 and full-time multi-mode 4x4 with a locking center differential. All models are equipped with a 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower V6 teamed to a five-speed ECT-i automatic transmission. For 2013, the SR5 grade gets a switch-type control for the transfer case, replacing the levers

The 4Runner combines rugged body-on-frame construction with suspension technology that yields ride comfort more often associated with car-based platforms. The 2013 4Runner is available in a variety of configurations and in three models a well equipped SR5top-of-the-line Limited, plus a Trail grade for maximum off-road capability. Optional third-row seats allow for up to seven-person capacity.

Performance and Efficiency
The 4Runner 4.0-liter V6 generates 270 horsepower and 278 lb.-ft. of torque. Dual independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) optimizes torque across the engine’s operating range. Fuel economy ratings rival some car-based SUVs with an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway for 4x2 models, and 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway for 4x4. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, with 4Runner’s standard integrated tow hitch receiver and wiring harness.

Handling and Ride
A double-wishbone independent front suspension, combined with a variable-flow rack and pinion steering, help give the 4Runner precise control on demanding roads. Coil springs over gas shocks are used at all four wheels for a comfortable ride and controlled handling. The four-link rear suspension minimizes axle hop and assures a smooth ride for rear-seat passengers.

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept

From a power train perspective, Honda’s playing a bit of catch-up to the industry. Like many of its competitors, the next Accord will finally boast a direct-injection four-cylinder- in this case, a 2.4-liter I-4 from Honda’s new “Earth Dreams” power train portfolio. This engine can be mated with either a five-speed manual or a new CVT. Honda’s 3.5-liter V-6 will also return, albeit in a slightly modified form that should yield a bit more power.

Honda’s also already playing up the tech angle, noting the next Accord will offer its new multi-angle rear-view camera, lane departure warning, and forward collision avoidance systems. All models will receive a conventional rear-view camera, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a SMS text messaging function, and Pandora internet radio compatibility as standard equipment.

Chevrolet Volt Concept -Hybrid Electric Car

The Chevrolet Volt is one of the newest hybrid vehicles to come onto the market in the USA. First released in December 2010, the Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric car that is labelled as one of the most fuel efficient vehicles currently on sale in the United States!

Sales of the Chevrolet Volt have been very good and it has gone on sale in numerous countries around the world. Before the car was released, Chevrolet expected to manufacture 30,000 cars for 2012, but strong sales figures have seen that figure exceeding 45,000. In 2011, 25,000 Chevrolet Volt hybrid cars have already been manufactured.

Aston Martin One-77 | Lovely Car Model

Aston Martin One-77 technical showcase made its debut the Geneva Auto Salon on 3 March 2009. Chassis no.1 was on display as an exposé throughout the show detailing the quintessence of Aston Martin engineering and design expertise.

The One-77 is Aston Martin's definitive sports car, one that epitomises everything Aston Martin from technology, the hand-craftsmanship of the hand rolled aluminium panels to the attention to detail. A culmination of all the marque's know-how, the Aston Martin One-77 delivers effortless beauty guaranteed to stir the senses with performance potential eclipsing any previous Aston Martin.
With the performance and durability phase of the Aston Martin One-77's intensive development programme soon to commence, the 79th Geneva Auto Salon provides the perfect stage on which to reveal the remarkable engineering, advanced technology and exotic materials that lie beneath the Aston Martin One-77's extraordinary exterior.
For Aston Martin's Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez, revealing the Aston Martin One-77's secrets is a proud moment: "Right from the very beginning of the project the vision for Aston Martin One-77 was very simple: It had to combine high-technology with hand-built craftsmanship, and demonstrate the unique capabilities and passion of our designers, engineers and technical partners.Aston Martin's full design muscle was directed toward the One-77's development, being the first truly all-new Aston model in years. The proof is in the pudding, as the Aston Martin One-77 production model just won one of the industry's most coveted design awards, the Concorso d’Eleganza Design Award for Concept Cars and Prototypes at Como Lake, Italy.

Aston Martin says that due to the One-77’s sky-high performance aspirations, special attention has also been paid to brake cooling, as the brakes have less time to cool between bursts of acceleration.
The brakes also get a break due to the relatively low weight of the car, which comes in at 3,300 lbs. The result is improved handling and stopping power, zero-to-60 sprints of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed north of 200 miles per hour.

Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept

The last time we had anything new to show you concerning the upcoming Cadillac XTS model it was in the form of a spy video showing testing mules in action (still available below), but now General Motors’ luxury brand has upped the ante and released an official image.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 | 2012 New Car Model

This beautiful beast is powered by a LSA 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine that provides enough juice to get our hearts racing and our fingers twitching to grab the wheel.

Arrinera Supercar 2012 New Model Car

The Arrinera is its striking, albeit a little Lamborghini-esque, styling. The second thing you will notice is its name. The company is Arrinera Automotive and its first car will be called the Arrinera.

Ronn Unveils Hybrid Supercar - Runs On Water Car Modle

The new car, now in per-production, is called the “Scorpion,” and the Company plans for it to be available to consumers this fall. The hydrogen delivery system with dual computer processor controls produces hydrogen on demand, and in real time, which will be inducted through the air intake manifold and blended with gasoline at a ratio of 30-40 percent hydrogen, according to Maxwell. The fuel for this system is derived from fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank, and will not require a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fueling station.

A storage tank would instead be filled with water; electric current from the car’s alternator would then pass through it, separating the hydrogen molecules from the oxygen. The hydrogen molecules combined with gasoline could power the car for 40 miles per gallon.

Mercedes Benz F 125

Concept called F125 uses a hydrogen fuel cell drive train that produces more power than its gasoline powered counterparts of this era. The F125 concept is seen as the future Mercedes-Benz S-Class and this could be the car on which the next generation models of the limousine could be based on. The new technology still has to prove itself before Mercedes-Benz starts offering future luxury cars with a zero-emissions drivetrain.
