Audi A6

Audi A6 will unveil the next generation A6 as a prototype in 2009 and a production version will follow in 2010. More modern and sporty, the new A6 will use the same design cues as the latest A5 and A4. It will compete with the next generation BMW 5-Series, the Infiniti M and Mercedes E-Class. The 2010 A6 will feature for the first time the LED day headlights, which were used only in the S6. Also the interior will feature a significant change. It will have the same bumpers used in the A5, new air intakes and totally redesigned lights.

In the same way as the newly A4, the future A6 will have the front body overhang drastically shortened and the bonnet and wheelbase will be both longer than before. Most of the component will be made from weight-saving aluminum. The results are expected to be impressive: supremely dynamic road behavior and effortlessly precise handling.

Volkswagen's RaVe 270

Volkswagen's RaVe 270 concept showcases the enormous potential of the automaker's award-winning 2.0T engine.

In current production form, in vehicles such as the GTI and Jetta GLI, this turbocharged four-cylinder generates 200 horsepower. At most, it puts out 230 horses in Europe's 30th-anniversary GTI. In the RaVe 270, however, the 2.0T churns out an impressive 270 horses.

This is VW's most powerful four-cylinder ever.

Modifications were made to the turbocharger, intercooling and engine electronics.

With 4Motion all-wheel drive, the Jetta SportWagen-based RaVe is approaching high-performance territory occupied by Subaru's Impreza WRX and Mitsubishi's Evolution.

From zero to 60 MPH goes by in less than 5.8 seconds, VW says. Top speed is 155 MPH.

One drawback is that the engine requires super-grade fuel.

Other innovations of the RaVe 270 include a 1,400-watt sound system with 13 speakers and subwoofers, sport seats, Biscay Blue paint, an extended hood over xenon headlights and LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, quad exhaust pipes, rear diffuser, 19-inch alloy wheels, 18-inch Brembo brakes, lowered suspension, plus numerous exterior styling bits.

The RaVe 270 is on display at the Essen auto show.

2007 Saturn Sky Red Line

Saturn Sky Red Line Sports Car Saturn keeps revitalizing with the 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line performance roadster sports car. The Red Line, available at Saturn retailers this fall, builds on the Sky’s established performance character, offering even more power and sportier driving dynamics combined with a bold design and driver-focused interior.

The Red Line gets a boost in performance from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, GM’s first direct injection offering in North America. It produces 260 horsepower at 5300 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm, making it GM’s highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 bhp per liter).

2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The legendary Porsche RS nameplate represents the ultimate in racing ability and brings back memories of special Porsche models such as the 1972 Carrera RS 2.7 and 1991 911 RS. The engine has 415 HP screaming to a 8400 rpm redline but the close-ratio six-speed transmission with a single-mass flywheel and 44 lbs lower vehicle weight makes the engine rev up even more freely, thus enabling the 911 GT3 to sprint from zero to 62mph in 4.2 seconds. It takes just 13.3 seconds to hit to 124 mph. Top speed is 187 mph. The new RS body is 1.7 inch wider at the rear (a legacy from the Carrera 4 models with which it shares its shell). The muscular-looking rear conceals a wider track that not only improves directional stability but also increases the potential cornering grip of this hot two-seater coupe. The Porsche GT3 RS will go on sale in both Europe and North America.

2006 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

With the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, the designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre maintained the traditional Lamborghini principles of purism, sport and function. The Murciélago LP640 now appears even more aggressive, with the new front and rear bumpers contributing significantly to its appearance.

The engine of the new Murcielago LP640 has undergone outstanding and radical modification. The classic V-engine is boosted to 6.5 litres. The already extraordinary 580 hp engine power has now been elevated to an impressive peak of 640 hp at 8,000 rpm.

The increase in power correlates with an increase in performance. The maximum speed is now 340 km/h (before 330 km/h). The excellent performance of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 means it can now accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds (0.4 seconds faster than the previous model).

Lamborghini engineers also improved the torque development. The engine is enhanced by a continuous variable timing system (intake and exhaust side) and a drive-by-wire engine management system.

Just like its predecessors, the Murciélago LP640 features permanent four-wheel drive, based on the reliable Lamborghini VT (Viscous Traction) system. The system is self-governing and does not feature any electronic controls.

Because of the "Privilegio" customisation program, any Murciélago LP640 can be transformed into a customised sports car. For example, the cockpit can be enhanced with an extremely refined carbon finish applied to the air conditioning control panel, the control lever console and the parking brake.

Tesla Roadster Electric Sports Car

The first electric car manufactured by Tesla Motors, the high-performance, zero-emissions Tesla Roadster sports car, was unveiled before a crowd of car buffs and potential customers. The electric Tesla Roadster has the equivalent of 135 mpg and a range of 250 miles on a single charge, a combination unseen until now in a mass-produced electric car. Its extended range is due to its state-of-the-art lithium-ion Energy Storage System. The Tesla Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in four seconds.

Using a unique two-speed electrically activated manual transmission, the Tesla Roadster's power comes from a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor. The motor is controlled by the Power Electronics Module (PEM) which also controls the inverting direct current to 3-phase alternating current, charging and braking systems.

Tesla Motors's engineers have gone to great lengths to ensure that not only is the Tesla Roadster safe to drive, but also is safe when charging, at home or on the road

The electric motor's efficiency rating is likely to be as high as 95 percent, while the internal combustion engine's efficiency is 20 percent or less. With this efficiency, the Tesla Roadster achieves the equivalent of 135 mpg.

That efficiency doesn't slow this sleek sports car down, either. Estimated 0-60 mph time is around four seconds, and with an electric motor, the torque is instantaneous, throw-you-back-in-the-seat responsive.

All in all, this is remarkable sports car!
