S3 5 door maybe similar size, but not the S3 3 door.

 

[Brad Johnson]

2.5 V6 i bet.

 

[Simon Bacon]

Yup, looks brilliant. But, as Top Gear recently asked, is it 'mad' enough to be an Abarth? The engine's in the front, the bonnet isn't propped open and everything works on it.:shock: Lacks that Abarth 'mental-ness.':silly:

 

[Dave Stephenson]

they do ask those questions a lot. but i bet 10-1 that it breaks down before any fezza does.

Sorry guys, couldn't stand the 350 and this looks just like one... with some bits stuck over the lights and some new alloys.

Can't read dutch so assuming the drive is the same, they're as twitchy as you like. Dunno what everyone sees in um.

 

[Brad Johnson]

Looks just like the current one.

Look what a Pro can do with a 350Z on the circuit, maybe this will change your
mind about handling the car?(in Dutch to..)

Fraid not. Not saying its the worst car in the world either. I respect that loads of people completely love it... I just don't see why.

Put it this way:
I can't stand Elvis... don't get what everyone sees in the dude. Plenty people have told me about what he achieved, how he danced, the music he made blah blah blah but I still, i just don't get it. My sister loves him and even went on about him so much that i thought i really must be missing a trick.

Now i know Elvis must have been amazing to still be so popular, there's just no denying that... but i just don't get it lol! Can't stand the dude lool!

*sorry elvis lovers :S*

Kind of a funny way off putting it i admit but its Christmas eve and i'm at work with faaaaar too much time on my hands :rotfl: lol

VolksPorsche...

It's a sad day in automotive history...The Porsche Cayenne Diesel production starts today. click for source info

delivering that pure driving pleasure typical of Porsche

A Cayenne? And a diesel? And they are mentioning driving pleasure? Ok, it's better then some of their other attempts but...

 

[Tyson Cierpial]

Yes it does look the same as the old one. has it got new running gear or are the specs the same as previous model.

 

[Tyson Cierpial]

Not a fan of the new taillight and headlight design.

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M to celebrate F1 title

After winning its 16th Formula one constructors championship last week, Ferrari has chosen this week to release a open top version of the F430 Scuderia. The Scuderia Spider 16M gets all the goodies from the lightweight Scuderia coupe like the 510 hp 4.3L V8 and the 6-speed F1 paddle shift gearbox. Ferrari is claiming the Scuderia Spider is the fastest open top model they've ever tested around the Fiorano test track, presumably beating out even the might F50 of decade ago. The Scuderia is 176 lbs lighter than a standard F430 spider at 2954 lbs dry. That's claimed to be good enough for a 0-62 mph sprint in 3.7 seconds and a terminal velocity of 195.7 mph. As a limited series model Ferrari has of course added lots of distinguishing features like a carbon fiber shell around the roll bar, number plaque on the dash and special interior trim packages. Only 499 Scuderia Spiders will be built and they will undoubtedly be priced higher than the $277,000 US base price of the coupe. For those with access to that much disposable cash, it will surely be worth the price of admission. The press release is after the jump

Very nice car but is a wrong time you know "financial crisis" so i retreated my order damn :disapointed:

 

[Dave Stephenson]

The sort of people who can afford a car like that, can afford it anytime. It's very very nice.
