The All-New Improved Hummer

2008 H3 SUVThe 2008 H3 SUV is a 4-door, 5 passenger luxury sport-utility, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Base to the Alpha. It bears a military-inspired design and an amazing off-road capability. It still lives up to its off-road reputation with a powerful engine and rugged suspension.

“The base H3 and H3X are powered by a 242-hp, 3.5-liter, in line five-cylinder engine bolted to a 5-speed manual transmission. The H3 Alpha brings V-8 power for increased towing and stronger acceleration offering 317 pounds/feet of torque and 6,000 pounds of towing capacity (3,000 for the base model.).”

The 2008 Hummer H3 receives a new front bumper design, new distinctive HUMMER front grille insert, new protective front skid plate and a new finish on the standard 7.5 x 16-inch alloy wheels.

Compared to the H2, the H3 is 16.9 inches (429 mm) shorter in length, six inches (152 mm) shorter in height and 6.5 inches (165 mm) narrower.

It also has its strict and active safety features. 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Dynamic Rear Proportioning balanced brake pressure between front and rear. Dual front airbags and head curtain side airbags.

As always, I can say that Hummers doesn’t excel in its handling dynamics. Though I understand that it isn’t supposed to be a sports car, but other trucks handle better. But I was totally impressed with the H3’s suspension and off road power.

The hummer H3’s iconic design continues to make it one of the most easily recognizable vehicles on the road.

 

Return of a Legend

By contributing in the 24-Hour Race held at Nürburgring, Volkswagen deal with one of the main challenges in worldwide motor sport once again. The patience run two times around the clock on the famous Nordschleife is observed as one of the most severing competitions when it comes to of driving and technology.

This time, the people of well over 200,000 excited enthusiasts standing the 25.378-kilometre circuit will view the get-together of two legends: Volkswagen comes back to the Nordschleife done by a racing edition of the Scirocco.

Persons with good reminiscences of the sportier Volkswagen Scirocco will be satisfied to see it arrival to the public.

It is also one of the brilliant models of this year’s “Geneva Motor Show” is the innovative Scirocco from VW. Loaded with extraordinary design, Audi TT creation and a cost value is the same to a Golf GTi, clear to become a big seller.

The up-to-the-minute Volkswagen Scirocco is about to go with no roof, Auto Express can absolutely make in public. The German maker is scheming a coupe-cabriolet edition of its two-door sport scar to face to face with the Porsche Boxster along with Audi TT Roadster.

On the other hand, it’s the body framework of the latest Scirocco that I think is the most motivating to cabriolet followers. As the smooth two-door distributes its underpinnings by the eye-catching Eos coupe-cabrio, Volkswagen will get used to a CC edition, which is expected to appear this coming 2009

A all-inclusive variety of safety and security attributes is built to the Scirocco as standard. These contain six airbags, (ESP) Electronic Stabilization Programme and ABS plus Hydraulic Brake Assist.

To Fall In Love With Or Not?

This automobile is an unique proposal of Saleen and I believe they did a very good work it will be priced approximately $180,000 (following to the Ferrari F430) consists of 5.0L V-8 engine which will provide it 650HP and a full speed of 200+ MPH and be supposed to do 0-60 in about 3.2 seconds. With the price of the S7 turbo going almost $550K. Saleen requires something low-priced and slighter. So they think and created with this S5S Raptor concept In my opinion, I thought it shows similar framework from the Volkswagen W12 but they said the this creation is absolutely Saleen. I even inquire at the autoshow photographer and they believed it was all original. I can see some similarity to a many cars though, but I think it is one of the great car I saw.

The image “http://www.gosportscar.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/s5s-raptor.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

At first glance, you can say and you will think that it is a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. However you will be amazed to know this car is an American genuine car. This Saleen S5S Raptor was launched on 20th March 2008 at the “New York Auto Show”.

The two seater model Raptor with its engine at the middle is the first project from Saleen’s new management team. Saleen 5-liter supercharged motor generates outrageous power of 650 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque plus it is also a green car with the engine that uses ethanol. They decide to use the ethanol burning engine to help decrease emissions along with oil reliance.

Generally, exterior of the car is purely surprising. It is positively going to turn heads everywhere it goes. The stylish front flanks and firm design is ideal to be called it a super car. Anyone could tell the speed even in the creativeness of its head lights.
