The Lexus LFA is the first supersports car from the Lexus brand. This handbuilt supersports will be delivered to the world for a maximum of 500 units, with 10 available in Australia. It makes this unique vehicle a true collector item. The Lexus LFA is developed with 4.8 litre V10 engine, delivering 412KW of power and 480Nm of torque can reach its top speed of 202 mph / 325 km/h (electronically limited). Moreover, it can accelerate from 0-60 mph only in 3.6 second.





Furthermore, in order to celebrate the LFA's third, class-winning outing at the 2010 Nürburgring 24 hours race, Lexus created the Nürburgring package. It is only produced 50 units. It is the same as LFA original series, the difference is they improve the aerodynamic performance of the Nürburgring pakage.

Ford Mustang- American Dream

Ford has released its new 2010 model Ford Mustang at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Based on the same underpinnings as the 2005 model which ushered in the contemporary 'retro' muscle car genre in North America, the new model can be considered a major face lift rather than an all-new model.
With an increasing number of rivals such as the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, Ford needed a refresh of the Mustang, whose 45 years of service has been a bastion of performance in the U.S.
"The best Mustangs have always been the ones that connect young America with the spirit of the times – and the 2010 does exactly that," says J Mays, Ford's group vice president of Design.

"The new Mustang is close to the magnetic center of the original, fully loaded with the swagger you'd expect, but with modern refinement and attention to detail like you've never seen in a muscle car," added Mr Mays.

With a new look (the only carryover body panels are found in the fast-back roof), the Blue Oval is calling the Mustang a "cleaner, meaner-looking" vehicle.
Ford says there's a "steed for every need" too.
Customers can choose from a V6 or V8 with their choice of coupe, convertible or innovative glass roof body styles.

Mercedes Benz SLS





New York/Affalterbach – For the new SLS, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have developed a puristic sports car interior that combines lightweight construction with dynamism and high emotional appeal.

The central design theme of “aviation engineering” is reflected in the wing-shaped dashboard, the centre console in the style of a jet’s operating console and the four striking air vents reminiscent of aircraft engines.

Ferrari 599 GTO -- Both man and woman dream about

599 GTO

On 8 April 2010, Ferrari announced official details of the 599GTO. The car is a road-going version of the 599XX and Ferrari say the 599 GTO is their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Its engine produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 bhp) at 8250 rpm, with 620 N·m (460 lb·ft) of torque at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims the 599 GTO can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.35 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph). At 1,590 kilograms (3,500 lb), the 599 GTO weighs 100 kg (220 lb) less than the standard GTB.[10] Production will be limited to 599 cars.



Ferrari's new extreme V12 berlinetta, the 599 GTO, delivers a lap time of just 1 minute and 24 seconds at
Fiorano, making it the fastest road-going model in our history.
The 599 GTB Fiorano (internal code F141) is an Italian gran turismo produced by Ferrari. It is the brand's two-seat flagship, replacing the 575 M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model.


Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari's Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.
