Tesla Roadster Boasts Style And Power
May 5th, 2008
The Tesla Roadster is one of the more impressive supercars that we have seen in quite a long time. The design of the car is absolutely breathtaking – but don’t think that this takes away from the power. The roadster runs on exhaust free plug power and was built specifically to be a car full of power.
According to a Norwegian specialty car importer the Euro Tesla is supposed to have 300 horsepower with a 13,000 rpm redline. The roadster is most likely to come equipped with the drivetrain 1.5 – which is said to be available later in the production run for Tesla. The new and improved gearbox has removed a gear, will provide better cooling, and will have an upgraded power electronics module.
New Bugatti Veyron Convertible To Be Exclusive
April 29th, 2008
Bugatti is making a few changes when it comes to the new Veyron 16.4. They have use the design of the original Veyron – but have made some changes that we are less than happy about.
First of all Bugatti will only be producing 80 cars – which is a big difference from the 300 that they produced last time around. Yet, that isn’t the only thing that will be different. Because the new Veyron will not have a top the chassis will be bigger in order to make up for the loss of rigidity –which will in turn make it heaver.

Bugatti Having Trouble Producing Veyron On Time
March 31st, 2008
The Bugatti Veyron is a car that is not to be underestimated. It has a flawless design and so much power behind it that we are not surprised at all of the attention that it gets. Consumers have been lining up to put their bid on one and now they are just waiting for it to roll out of the production line. It seems that Bugatti is taking a bit longer to produce the cars and is having trouble keeping up with the demand.

Opel has released yet another teaser picture for the new Insignia. It has been a few months since we have heard or seen anything – but now Opel is putting it out there for discussion and hoping to get the interest of the people before its release later this year.
While this may only be a teaser picture and we may not see much of it at all it is enough to get us talking again. The Insignia will be replacing the Vectra or as we know it better – the Saturn Aura. It will become a sedan, five-door hatch, and a wagon and will be built on the platform of the FWD Epsilon II.
