2010 Ferrari Millechili

A lightweight two-seater (2200 pounds or even less) loaded with Formula 1 technology. In many ways it will be a successor to the Enzo, but instead of adding power, Ferrari will add lightness. Don’t worry—the Millechili name won’t be making it to production.


F1 goodies make their way onto a road car. The technology and light weight will make this car spectacularly quick but also fuel efficient.


A derivative of the F430’s aluminum space frame on a slightly longer, 104.3-inch wheelbase. The mid-engine layout will carry a new V-10 of unknown displacement making upwards of 600 horsepower.


Active aerodynamics will manage airflow over the vehicle, thus reducing drag.

Ferrari F430


The Ferrari F430 is Ferrari’s latest mid-engine V8-powered sports car, available as both a coupe and an open-top Spider, replacing the 360 Modena. The Ferrari 308 GTB was the first mid-engine V8 Ferrari and is one of the most popular Ferraris of all time. The 308 was followed by the 348 for 1990 and the F355 for 1995 before being replaced by the 360 Modena for 2000. The 360 Spider was added during the 2001 model year. The F430 continues the extensive use of aluminum for the chassis, body and suspension, which began with the 360 Modena. An optional braking system with carbon-ceramic discs will be available. The overall design of the F430 is very aerodynamic and includes elements used in racing, such as a flat underbody and a large diffuser that dominates the rear view of the car. The diffuser creates downforce and eliminates the need for a large rear wing, although the body does include a small lip at the center of the short rear deck. The design is much more aggressive than the 360 Modena, with sharper, chiseled lines and a less organic shape.

The Jaguar Mark IV

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The Jaguar Mark IV, pronounced mark four, was a saloon (sedan) car built by Jaguar from 1945 to 1949.
It was a relaunch of a pre World War II model made by SS Cars Ltd from 1936.

Before World War 2 the name Jaguar was the model name given to the complete range of cars built by SS Cars Ltd. The saloons were titled SS Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre or 3½ litre. The two seater sports car was titled the SS Jaguar 100 2½ litre or 3½ litre.

After the war the company name was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd. While the post war saloons were officially the Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre and the 3½ Litre, the term 'Mark IV' was applied by the trade simply to seperate them from the officially named Mark V.

Cadillac CTS

Technical Specs
Standard Engine 3.6L V6
Standard Transmission 6 Speed Manual
Cylinders 6Horse
power @ RPM 263@6400
Torque @ RPM 253@3100 (foot-lbs)

The CTS was the first salvo in what is now a totally revised Cadillac product lineup. At first glance, the 2008 CTS may not be as polarizing as the original, but closer examination reveals a dramatic exterior, and an interior that takes the CTS to a whole new level of refinement.
Power and HandlingMotivation for the rear-wheel-drive CTS is provided by a 263-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, an excellent engine that delivers the equivalent performance of the optional V6 in the previous-generation car. An optional 304-horsepower direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 ups the fun factor, but leaves room for a CTS-V to join the lineup. Either engine is available with an Aisin 6-speed manual, or Hydra-Matic 6L50 6-speed automatic transmission. A first for the CTS, all-wheel drive is now an option, but only on automatic models.
Both of the transmissions work well. The 6-speed manual is easy to shift, and precise enough to make it fun, while the 6-speed automatic delivers quick, smooth gear changes. The automatic has a very aggressive Sport mode, downshifting when the driver brakes for turns. This mode will also continue to hold the lower gear even when the driver backs off the throttle. It is probably too aggressive for most situations on the street, but the regular shift mode responds so quickly that it may be equivalent to the Sport mode in other vehicles.
Built with a two-inch-wider track than the previous version, the new CTS also has Bilstein shocks, high-precision ZF Servotronic steering and a revised suspension geometry developed with computer modeling and experience gained from the high-performance CTS-V. New 17- or 18-inch wheels are provided, depending on which of the three different suspension packages are ordered. The new chassis moves the CTS forward in terms of handling, putting it on par with European and Asian competitors. Don't take that statement lightly—that's where the racetrack comes in.
Track TunedMuch has been made of Cadillac's CTS development at the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany. This renowned 13-mile road course is considered one of the most difficult in the world, and a more likely location for the latest Porsche or BMW prototype than a Cadillac.
The development work became obvious on the first section of twisty Northern Californian pavement we encountered. On our drive to Monterey, the CTS proved to be tight and responsive in corners and very well balanced overall. Carving through turns in a decisive manner, it provides precise steering and excellent side-to-side transitional response when lacing together a series of apexes.
Most of our road-time was in a CTS equipped with the FE2 suspension, the direct-injected engine, and a 6-speed automatic—a very nice package and probably what we would choose for the street. The FE2 suspension includes performance all-season tires—a good choice for everyday use. The standard 263-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 should not be overlooked, but since GM has placed only a $1000 premium on the direct-injected engine, it'll be hard to pass up.
As good as the CTS is on the road, surprisingly, it is even more impressive on the track. All of the track cars were equipped with the optional FE3 suspension with sticky Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. The FE3 setup is intended for the serious enthusiast, and also includes load-leveling rear shocks. Even when pushed hard on the track, the FE3-equipped CTS remained balanced and controlled with minimal tendency to understeer, even allowing steering input mid-corner. The StabiliTrak stability control system is minimally intrusive, enabling deft drivers to provide some steering via the throttle.
Design Moves Forward AgainRedesigning the CTS posed a tricky challenge for GM designers. They needed to update a car that made a distinct impact with its aggressive original design. The goal was to make it more refined without losing that edge.
Gone are the harsh creases of the first-generation car; however, the new design is actually more aggressive due in part to the wider stance. The front is dominated by a larger, more vertical grille similar to that of the Cadillac Sixteen concept car. The grille is flanked by vertically stacked headlights, with fog lights and brake ducts to each side of the lower air intake.
While still crisp, the overall design is less blunt with a smoother, more sloping roofline. A shorter decklid tapers into an ever-so-slight boat-tail shape, and houses the signature vertical taillights. Chrome air extractors are added high on the front panels, and tie in with chrome window moldings and chrome exhaust tips.
Inside, the CTS delivers one of the most beautiful interiors ever from General Motors. A combination of luxury and sport, it's supported by flowing shapes and high-quality materials. The center stack dominates the design,flowing up and out to surround front-seat occupants, cockpit style.
To emphasize the attention to detail and luxury, the upper dash and door panel surfaces are hand-cut, then sewn and wrapped by craftsman. The exposed French stitching is also used for the seats and shifter boot to add to the fine detail. The console and center stack have a satin metallic finish, and all of the interior materials have a quality feel, addressing the area that was most criticized in the original CTS.
The door pulls and foot wells house subtle backlighting and clean, white, LED light pipes are recessed between the upper and lower instrument panel to add more indirect light. The analog instruments are housed in three binnacles surrounded by chrome accents, all surrounded by a single hood.
In the tech department, the new CTS offers an available Infotainment system with a touch-screen that rises up from the dash, a 40-gig hard drive, and state-of-the art navigation system with real-time traffic data via XM Satellite Radio.
The best news of all: The new CTS, with all its added performance and refinement, arrives with an MSRP starting at $32,990—$540 less than the 2007 CTS.
