Abt with more power for Audi A4 Avant

Audi has become famous for its fast estates but with the last generation RS4 hanging in there the new A4 clearly could do with a bit more power.

Tuner Abt hasn’t wasted any time beefing up the A4 Avant and although we think the end result isn’t too bad.

However just because everyone else is putting vents on the side of their cars there is no reason for you to have a chunk cut out of the wing.

The 1.8 liter petrol engine now pushes out either 200 bhp or 240 bhp, but the big power comes from the 3.0 TDI which can either have 240 bhp or 310 bhp.

The Tesla Roadster

When the Tesla Roadster was introduced for the first time, the buzz was palpable and the Promise was very much on target with what many in the Green market had been waiting on. To bring to market a 2-seat roadster with the performance and the price of an exotic sports car that would not require a drop of gasoline. While many of the rich and famous have made their deposit to acquire their own Tesla EV Roadster not one of them has seen a delivery. Transmission problems have slowed the building progress of the Tesla, but we still remain high on its promise. I just hope the Tesla Motors can come through on their promise.

Nissan GT-R

The new Nissan GT-R is one of the most technologically advanced sports cars to hit the general market. Some have compared driving it on the streets/track to driving it in a video game, called GranTurismo. While it may feel as though the car drives itself at times and provide less Drivers-Response than a BMW or Porsche, the GT-R is still the most exciting car coming out in 2008. Pushing out 480-hp and 430-torque and sporting AWD the Nissan GT-R is a true bargain of a Supercar starting at $ 69,850. Plus, Nissan shut down much of their racing investments for 2008 so that they could focus their full attention to supporting and training for the maintenance of their most exquisite sports car.

Ferrari FXX

Although it is a quite old car (since 2005), the Ferrari FXX Supercar is one of my favorites Ferrari. This sports car is a great display of new car technology that includes innovations from Ferrari, along with other companies that have continuously contracted parts in association with it. The Enzo is the supercar that the FXX is based on, but there are specific functions found on the FXX, that are not found on the Enzo, which makes the FXX a complete car of it’s own accord.

The engine, and other standard operating systems for the car, are modeled after the Enzo as well, but have been modified to accommodate differing fuel standards, and other technological restrictions.

Ferrari FXX

The Ferrari FXX is a great car that cannot be mass-produced, mainly due to production costs, but also due to the fact that only few are willing to purchase such an exotic car due to the extensively high $ 1,773,000 (or 1,500,000 Euro price). Thus only 29 units of this powerful sports car were built. The Ferrari FXX computer technology held inside the car also makes for a great driving experience, and tells the driver how their technique can be improved to assist their ability to function along with it.
