2010 Lacrosse is dominated by a sweeping U-shaped dashboard that flows into the door panels on each side and down from the center stack into a wave-like center console. A large screen for navigation and other readouts sits dead center of the dash, with a phalanx of buttons just below it. High-tech LED lighting in a restful “ice blue” is used for the gauges and most controls, as well as for “ambient” illumination of the console and areas beneath the door armrests.
2010 Buick LaCrosse will get two of GM’s corporate V6 engines, both with the efficiency-enhancing direct-fuel-injection system available for the 3.6-liter engine. The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CX and CXL models will get a 3.0-liter V6 that is estimated to generate 255 horsepower. The 280-horsepower 3.6 is reserved for the top-line CXS model. Both engines will mate to a 6-speed automatic transmission. And thanks to the E2 platform, the 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXL will offer optional all-wheel drive.

The 2.0-liter Turbo Direct Injection engine generates a maximum power of 220 hp (162 kW) at 5,300 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. Furthermore, it helps the car sprint from naught to 100 km/h in no less than 7.8 seconds, becoming "the most powerful turbocharged engine on the market," as Buick proudly stated in a statement for the press. The unit is fully compliant with the Euro V emission regulations.

At the 2009 Geneva Motor Show,
Each one-off Veyron pays homage to Bugatti’s motor-racing history “which played a central role in popularising and ultimately establishing the myth which the brand continues to enjoy to this day.”

Bugatti unveiled yet another special edition of their legendary Veyron supercar ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The new version is called the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire and it celebrates the brand's 100th anniversary. (Bleu Centenaire translates into "Blue Centennial")
The power of the most expensive car will continue to be provided by the standard car’s 16 cylinder quad turbocharged 8.0-liter engine which produces 1001 hp and 1250 Nm of torque. The car is painted in “sprintblue matte” and “sprintblue gloss” to create a unique visual effect. The roof-trim-stripes and the exterior rearview mirrors are of polished, anodized aluminum. A special wheel design is standard, enhanced by bright red brake calipers. The front grille and the side air intakes have a “mirror shine” finish.
The interior of the Centenaire is fitted in a special “snowbeige” leather with quilting on the seats. The central console is covered in the same leather. New LED lights, Park Distance Control and a rearview camera have become part of the standard equipment for all Bugatti Veyrons from this year onward.

Brabus has done an amazing job on tuning of the Mercedes-Benz SLR Mc Laren
With BRABUS tuning, the power output of the V8 compressor engine had increased by 24 hp (23 hp SAE net) / 18 kW to 650 hp (641 hp SAE net) / 478 kW at 6,500 rpm. The SLR Roadster looks absolutely stunning with this tune-up.
To give the two-seater even more striking looks while at the same time minimizing lift on the front axle, the BRABUS designers have developed a front spoiler that attaches to the
production bumper. The spoiler is made from exposed carbon fiber and its shape was finetuned in the wind tunnel. It is especially lightweight and extremely tough. A corresponding BRABUS rear diffuser made from exposed carbon fiber can replace its production counterpart.
The sporty BRABUS outfit for the SLR Roadster is dominated by BRABUS Monoblock VI 20-inch wheels that fill the wheel houses perfectly. The fully polished multi-piece wheels feature six double spokes and are mounted on the sports car
Thus equipped the topless SLR is ready for some additional power provided by BRABUS engine tuning. The power tuning for the supercharged 5.5-liter (335.5 cu. in.) engine consists of special camshafts, a fuel cooling system and a high-performance exhaust. With BRABUS tuning, power output of the V8 compressor engine increases by 24 hp (23 hp SAE net) / 18 kW to 650 hp (641 hp SAE net) / 478 kW at 6,500 rpm.
BRABUS also offers a special clutch-type limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. It further optimizes traction and improves acceleration performance of the super sports car. The tuned roadster sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 337 km/h (209 mph).
Precision handwork down to the last detail characterizes the exclusive BRABUS interior design for the two-seater. The company-own upholstery shop specializes in fulfilling just about any request from discriminating SLR owners when it comes to customizing the interior. That includes a multitude of leather types and colors as well as custom upholstery designs.
An unusual BRABUS specialty is the waffle-patterned leather carpeting in the SLR’s footwells. Some 7,800 meters (25,600 feet) of the finest thread are sewn with utmost precision for it alone.
A sporty and functional BRABUS option is the ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel that is flattened on the bottom for markedly easier entering and exiting of the vehicle. The steering wheel features integrated buttons for manual shifting of the SLR’s automatic transmission.
Sporty BRABUS carbon-fiber applications for dashboard, center console and door trim transfer the racing look of the BRABUS body components into the interior. The exposed carbon-fiber trim can be color-coordinated with the leather color of the interior.

Brabus takes the Mercedes SL to another level with up to 730 hp (720 hp SAE net) / 537 kW of Power, 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft) of Torque, a Top Speed of 350 km/h (219 mph) and a sprint time of 4.0 seconds from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph), 10.5 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph) .

Brabus, a german car tuner, has presented us earlier with the tuned , SLR McLaren Roadstar and the Smart. This time, Brabus is presenting the tuned Mercedes C-Class as the bullit black arrow. The Bullit Black Arrow accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62mph) in 3.9 seconds, on to 200 km/h (124mph) in 10.5 seconds and 300km/h (186mph) in 24.5 seconds. Brabus claims that Bullit Black Arrow has a top speed in excess of 225 mph, however it is electronically limited to 196 mph. Bullit's power comes from BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo displacement engine which is a re-worked V12 engine from the latest Mercedes S600. Check out more details after the jump.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model has dispensed with the usual body elements found on production vehicles such as front apron, bonnet, side panels, doors, wheel arches, roof, trunk lid and rear deck. Instead, a new structure with a minimum amount of components has taken their place. A special, highly durable and extremely expansion-resistant fabric material stretches across a metal structure. This new material offers designers a significantly higher level of freedom of design and functionality.
The body consists of only four elements. The largest component extends from the front of the vehicle to the edge of the windscreen and down the sides to the rear edge of the doors. The large side panels start at the front where the rocker panels emerge and run across the rear wheel arches into the rear. The fourth component is the central rear deck element.

BMW has designed a hydrogen powered salt flat racer based on the premise of Reuse (instead of recycle). This concept utilizes existing, ordinary, and mundane materials, such as old oil barrels and barbeque lids, as main components for the body and wheel discs. Friendly, whimsical and sustainable, the concept employs goldfish as “co-pilots” or “canaries-in-a-coal mine” to ensure that the vehicle is running clean emissions (if your fish get sick, you must be running “rich”).

The BMW Sauber F1 Team raised the curtain on its 2009 season in Formula One in Valencia this morning. The 2009 car cuts a very different figure from all of its predecessors. Its nose is higher and much wider than before. The huge front wing consists of three elements and stretches across the full width of the car. The rear wing, on the other hand, is considerably slimmer – in line with the new regulations – and stands unusually high against the onrushing air. Intricate aerodynamic add-ons, such as air deflectors and cooling air exits, have been reduced to a minimum. Another eye-catching feature are the sidepods, which are now higher at the front.
