2010 Audi RS 5

The 2010 Audi RS 5 made its debut in the Geneva Motor Show showing off an elegant coupe that hints of unbridled power waiting to be discovered. With a 4.8-liter V8 engine that produces 444 horsepower and a torque of 317 lb-ft, the RS 5 has proven to be one powerful performer. The car is also equipped with a seven-speed S tronic and an innovative center differential to deliver power to all four wheels. The former also enhances the RS 5’s efficiency and is made up of two clutches and two subsidiary transmissions.

The 2010 Audi RS 5 boasts of its ability to only consume an average of 10.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Audi made this possible by optimizing the engine and drive-train to minimize friction and the oil pump to operate only when the car demands for it. The car also has an energy recovery system that helps conserve energy whenever the car coasts or brakes. The seven-speed S tronic also allows the car to operate in a fully automatic mode. A driver can choose among three automatic codes via the standard Audi drive select: auto, comfort or dynamic.

The RS 5 also unveiled its self-locking crown-gear differential for its quattro drive-train which attains a high efficiency ratio by regulating power distribution between the front and rear axle.

The 2010 Citroen Survolt Concept is a perfect blend of mystery, power and elegance. Based on the Citroen Revolte Concept Car that was unveiled in a Frankfurt Motor Show the previous year, the Survolt surpasses all the promises that its predecessor had and exudes an unmistakeable aura of magnificence.

The Survolt’s exterior is made up of chrome and aluminum that provides protection and strength while adding a touch of luxury that will surely make this wondercar stand out. The front of the Survolt holds, at its very center, the distinct badge located just above the oval-shaped grille. The slim, horizontal lamps, on the other hand, will surely hold and captivate a viewer’s gaze. The paintwork of this electric automobile is a perfect combination of charcoal grey and fuchsia. The contrast between the voluptuous bonnet and sculpted flanks, meanwhile, is a paradoxical wonder that adds immense appeal to this already beautiful car. The Survolt’s rear also features traces of the Revolte design, and comes with a spoiler that refers to motor sport. The interior, meanwhile, shows a contrast between the technical aspect behind the design and pleasure that aims to give a driver an unforgettable driving experience.

The 2010 Citroen Survolt Concept is powered by electricity and combines the better of two worlds: sports performance and environmental respect.
