The model S from Tesla sets a new standard in electric vehicles. The premium sedan is spacious, with seating enough for 5 adults.

The 2012 Tesla Model S is agile and responsive, just like most sports cars, and it provides the quality interior expected of premium sedans. The quiet power-train and noise engineering enables you to get the same quality of sound as a recording studio.

Specifications

Powertrain

The advanced electric power-train in the Model S delivers instantaneous acceleration and enables drivers to experience the exhilaration of travelling 0-60mph in less than 5 seconds, without any gasoline!

Unlike internal combustion engines, the Tesla Power-train includes only one moving part. This enables the power-train to be extremely responsive and effective.

Lightweight

The suspension system in the Tesla Model S provides precision handling and a comfortable drive. Since the car is not encumbered by a bulky engine, the front suspension optimizes the handling of the vehicle.

The Model S includes Active Air Suspension features which combine the automatic lowering of the vehicle at high speeds with on-demand suspension changes that are accessible via the touchscreen panel.

Charger

The model S provides you with everything you need in order to charge your electric car at standard 240v power outlets. With twin chargers and a high powered wall connector, in one hour the model S can regain a 62 mile range. Using a supercharger can achieve a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.

Interior

With a black leather interior, the Tesla S is comfortable, luxurious and spacious. Piano black accents with hand wrapped leather, microfiber seats, and polished metal door handles all add to the allure of the Model S.

Entertainment

A 17″ touchscreen console hosts a variety of multimedia capabilities – Bluetooth technology can be used for calling hands-free or streaming music, a stereo system with HD AM/FM radio, MP3, MP4 and AAC format support and a storage capacity of approximately 500 songs.

Looks, style and power. The 2012 Mansory Ferrari 458 Spider delivers it all.

The aerodynamic design and aggressive styling are completely appropriate for this high performance machine.

This limited edition of which only 3 were made, will cost more than chassis and a piston. This Mansory Monaco Edition of the Ferrari 458 Spider Convertible is certain to cause aficionados to gawk and stare.

Specifications

Engine & Performance

The V8 4.5 liter engine produces 590 hp and 413 lbs-ft of torque. Get behind the wheel of this machine and learn what it feels like to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, in which you get a top speed of 205 mph. This car not only looks fast, it is fast. The Mansory Ferrari 458 Spider has the power to back up its overt high intensity appearance.

Exterior

The Mansory tune of this car is phenomenal. Featuring an Enzo style F-1 nose, the body is made out of carbon filler and reduces the overall weight by 162 lbs. The front feature air inlets for the coolers and the rear has an integrated diffuser as well as a rear wing. Top it off with carbon blades in place of a rear window and you have one good looking car.

Interior

The high quality leather and Alcantara buck skin has a hand stitched diamond pattern upholstery and the clean, sharp looking aluminum pedals are a plus. Alcantara leather and carbon fiber are present throughout the interior.

Safety

With a lower center of gravity, the Mansory Ferrari 458 Spider has sports shock absorbers that gives you a moderate edge on safety as do the wide based 40 inch rims with Michelin tires.

Overall, I love the aggressive exterior styling and the tweaks made that provide more power and optimal performance.

As far as safety features go, this vehicle is not built to provide the standard safety features you would look for in a family car. This is an edgy speed machine that will bring out the excitement that will propel anyone who sits behind the wheel with excitement.

Porsche didn’t name the 2012 Cayenne GTS after a chili pepper for nothing, it is after all a red hot ride, a sports car that doesn’t know it’s really an SUV. You can even have it painted pepper red. Many believe it’s one of the best handling luxury midsize SUVs out there.

The goal of the Cayenne GTS is to give the driver the most thrilling and powerful drive experience without sacrificing Porsche’s renowned reputation for strength and poise.

Specifications

Engine

The 2012 Cayenne GTS has a 4.8 liter V8 engine that delivers 420 horsepower and 380 pound feet of torque. An eight speed Tiptronic S power transmission allows the Cayenne to jump to 62 miles per hour in about 5.7 seconds and achieve a top speed of 162 miles per hour. It also gets about 15 miles per gallon in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.

Performance

Porsche has dropped the height of the Cayenne about 24 mm so that it hugs the road and zips along with more confidence.

Exterior

The Cayenne GTS’ exterior is a refinement of the Cayenne Turbo; though some drivers claim it looks a little too much like the Porsche 911. The wheel wells are wider with an alluring roof spoiler as well as an aggressive new width to the side skirts.

Interior

As can be expected of any Porsche, the inside is sumptuous and roomy, with seating for five. It also has a leather trim that comes standard. What comes standard is the eight position adjustment for the front seats to ensure maximum comfort. Some have complained that there was just too much high tech gadgetry and it took too long to learn how to operate it, especially if the driver was simply interested in hopping in the car and zooming off.

There is 62.9 cubic feet of cargo space when the back seats are folded down, but people were disappointed that there wasn’t enough storage room for smaller items. But nothing dampened their enthusiasm for the Cayenne GTS’s performance.

This car offers a one of a kind package of high profile style and design.

It is also the first American engineered vehicle that is intended and developed to appeal to the world market.

Amazingly, this vehicle can run on either of the two available drive modes: sport or stealth. When the Stealth mode is engaged, the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 7.9 seconds reaching a maximum speed of 95 mph.

With this, the Karma is able to splint from 0 to 60mph in 5.9 seconds achieving a maximum speed of 125 mph.

Generally, this car can run solely on electric power for up to 50 miles; after which, the 2.0 liter direct-injection turbocharged powertrain extends the range to an extra 250 miles. This implies that the total range between recharge and refuel is 300 miles.

The interior is made of recycled and reusable materials; such as a wood trim from reclaimed lumber, seating foam from soy-based fiber, while the carpet backing is created from recycled post-consumer resources.

The interior environment has a tint rich shade of Black Onyx Monotone that mimics pure grain leather.
