* Base Coupe TTS

Engine

The TTS Coupe Competition delivers 272 horsepower to go with 258 lb ft of torque through its 2.0 TFSI engine.

It comes with a six speed S tronic transmission which can accelerate the car from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. The average fuel consumption for this vehicle is 31 miles per gallon (7.7 L /100 km).

Performance

Although this new model is an improved version of the latest TT, it lacks drive. When compared to the Porsche Boxer, it lacks agility and athleticism on the track. It does handle well, and is a pleasure to drive. This coupe model has additional safety features which make it desirable.

Interior & Exterior

This Audi model comes in a special and exclusive paint mixture. You can choose from Imola yellow or Nimbus grey. Its sleek and bold exterior is much like the other models made by Audi this year. What makes it stand out is the fixed rear wing with stabilizing bars.

The interior features comfortable leather seats, complete with leather trims. The doors are embossed with a marking that says “1 of 500” which accentuates the exclusivity of this edition.

The price on this new model makes it very attractive. As compared to other luxury sports cars in the same class, the new TTS is fairly priced.

The new features on this car that make it comfortable to drive in, however it does lack a bit of power on the track. Other than that, the 2013 Audi TTS Coupe competition is an excellent car.

The TTS line from Audi will be celebrating a production milestone by releasing a limited edition model.

To date, Audi has produced 500,000 units of the TTS, and in commemoration of this achievement, they introduce the 2013 Audi TTS Roadster Competition limited edition.

Only 500 units will be made in marking this special occasion for Audi.

* Base TTS Roadster

Engine

The limited edition TTS Roadster Competition has 2.0 liter TFSI engine that churns out 272 horsepower. It has an electronically limited maximum speed of 155 mph.

It is a full time all wheel drive vehicle. The transmission is a six-speed S-Tronic automatic-manual. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds.

Performance

Being an all-wheel drive, it offers great road stability and responsiveness during tight corners. Also, the fluid lines in the front of the car enhance the aerodynamics, providing improved downforce, producing better road grip.

Exterior

The exterior design of the model carries on the legacy of the TTS series. Its front looks very similar to the classic TTS model featuring the generous grill that reaches down the front bumper and the rectangular shaped headlights.

Towards the rear of the car, a new rear wing has been installed. Also, a small and discreet spoiler has been placed right beneath the central breaking light.

Interior

Unlike previous models, the TTS Roadster will only have two seats. An overall black theme has been chosen for the 500 units with black leather seats and dark grey elements on the doors and central panel. Also, a new color touch screen can now be seen on the right side of the driver.

The 2013 Audi TTS Roadster Competition is an anniversary edition model. Even if the car will have a bigger engine, fuel consumption does not go over the top. It can work both as a city car or a competition roadster.

With the unveiling of the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R, the automaker has their eyes clearly set to compete with the leader of supercars.

The Agera R offers new technology and power while retaining the look it has been renowned for. The new technology includes a proprietary process called “Aircore” used to create the world’s first one piece, hollow wheel made from super light carbon fibers. This feature has reduced its overall weight by 44 lbs.

Engine & Performance

* Uncertified

The 2013 Agera R engine is an in-house developed 5.0 liter, V8, with twin turbo. This new engine is capable of generating 1140 horsepower and the rev limiter has been raised from 7250 to 7500 rpm.

Worth noting is that 25 horsepower has been added. This is made possible by switching to ANS nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves which create less friction and provide better fuel consumption.

This vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, the top speed has not yet been determined. The Koenigsegg Electronic Stability (KES) is now a standard feature.

Wrapping it up, a Triplex suspension system and lighter rear exhaust section has been added.

Exterior

Not much has changed on the outside of the new Agera R and for good reason. It maintains its excellent styling featuring its dynamic rear wing. Koenigsegg has added a new front/side winglets that reduces drag and provides additional down force at 155 mph.

The Agera R comes with a detachable and storable hardtop making it the only roadster hyper car with that capability.

Interior

The interior of the vehicle contains nicely appointed racing seats and an oblong steering wheel with a chrome gear shifter mounted on the column. The dash itself is set off center topped with dual round performance gauges.

An info screen embedded into the panel is located directly below the retro looking gauges. The rest of the controls are set at the instrument panels mid-point, with buttons aligned in a circular fashion.

Because all Agera R models are made to order, you can choose your own exterior and interior colors. Matching shades are identified by an exclusive configuration available through Koenigsegg.

When Christian von Koenigsegg came up with the idea of a new hyper car to add to his product line, he did not miss a beat on the absolute pleasure of a driving experience.

The 2013 Koenigsegg Agera is not only fun to navigate; it is comfortable and exhilirating as well. Its speed, handling and control are unsurpassed in the marketplace. The cars ultra aerodynamic design completes the final details of the project.

Exterior

The Koenigsegg Agera has been built for speed. With that in mind, any exterior design features are created starting there with aerodynamics being at the forefront and the rest being devoted to ergonomics, practicality, and of course, safety.

The front air inlets and the rear diffuser are obvious indications of the designs intent, speed. The body style is reminiscent of the earlier offerings from Koenigsegg like the CC more than 15 years ago.

Its strong, yet compressed styling has evolved only as technology and safety have dictated. The original sleek form is as solid and true today.

Interior

You cannot help but be impressed with the quality of the materials used in the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera. It begins with the aniline and Alcantara leather seats.

The rest is made by utilizing carbon fibers, aluminum and other precious metals. The interior illumination factor alone is impressive, with the Koenigsegg “Ghost Light” technology being employed around the aluminum control knobs.

Shift paddles are mounted on the steering wheel and a High Definition touch infotainment screen displayed at the center dash.

The 2014 Bentley Continental GT3 Racecar made its debut last month at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. This is where it showed its power and capability during the dramatic hill climb of the event.

The design follows the original concept which was released in 2012. Bentley says that this model is more track-ready and has additional special features.

Engine

The modifications on this model are extensive that are meant to help it perform better on the track. The motor sport engineers of Bentley have re-modified the new Continental GT’s already impressive V8 4.0 liter engine.

They chose to use the smaller twin-turbo engine because of its compactness and lightweight. It produces over 600 horsepower, thanks to the added 100 horsepower.

Exterior & Interior

The new Continental GT3 has a mean, sleek and bold body design. The body is meant to maximize the aerodynamic capabilities of the automobile. The new air dam is seen to extend all the way forward.

The massive rear wing is attached to the trunk lid, unlike the concept model version where it was found at the rear of the car.

All the luxury items usually found in Bentley vehicles have been stripped of this version. This was to make room for lighter items. Sparco racing seats as well as a full roll-cage has been installed inside.

Testing will start later this year for the new Continental GT3. This impressive automobile will be entering endurance racing at the FIA Blancpain Series in 2014.

The modification on this car has helped it improve its speed. Over 2,200 pounds of weight has been removed after a couple of re-modifications, making it a promising lightweight, high-speed and high-endurance race car.
