Ferrari to name the 458 Scuderia “Monte Carlo”

We recently reviewed the 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo and what is expected of it, well, similarly Ferrari will make a high performance version of the 458 italia. Ferrari has had a unique trend of releasing a more powerful version of most of their brands as seen in the F430 which became the 430 Scuderia and the 599 GTB Fiorano became the 599 GTO. Also, when Ferrari launches a new generation sports car on the market, we always expect at least three versions: a coupe, a spyder, and a Scuderia.

The 458 Italia is already nearing three years of age after It made its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt auto show and in the form of the 4.5-liter V-8 engine rated at 562HP at the 9,000 rpm redline, and 400 pound-feet of torque, 80 percent of which is available from 3,250 rpm the car has lived to its name so far so good. We already saw Ferrari introduce the Spider to the 458 range with a folding hardtop roof, and expected the Scuderia but Ferrari boss, Luca di Montezemolo, said that a 458 Scuderia would not be produced because the 458 Italia was just so advanced.

Recently, according to autoblog.nl, there will be a high performance version of the Ferrari 458 Italia’s and will be named the Monte Carlo. It will pack a stunning 620HP from the tweaked V8 engine. Most of the details on the 458 Italia Monte Carlo are limited for the now but expect to see it soon.

Lamborghini Murcielago Matte Black - SR Auto

They say legends may die but their legacy is everlasting, despite the recent takeover by the Aventador, almost making the Murcie vanish like its predecessor the Diablo, there are still those who fight hard to ensure this does not happen at all. SR Auto is the name and this time they collaborated with fellow Canadian tuners Inspired Autosport to make this beastly looking Murcie. 

The paint job and the wheel set are all custom, PUR 1NE monoblocks. What they made now gives a 631 hp naturally aspirated V12 batmobile, disguised as a Lamborghini Murcielago and it does naught  to 60 mph acceleration in just 3.3 seconds. It’s power is transmitted to all fours through a AWD system and through a 6-speed manual/semi-automatic.

2013 Range Rover “4th Gen"

For those like me who thought the magnificent Range Rover Evoque was really small, no more of that, Land Rover has decided to retain the Evoque´s face but increase the size of the car, that seems like it, and what do we get, a modern piece of intellectual peace. It will debut in the 2012 Paris Auto Show tin September.

Inside, you will find either a 5ltr V8 which gives 375hp while or a supercharged version which gives 510hp, this will be he Range rover sports. A ZF 8 speed automatic transmission is available in all of them. Europe will also receive a V6 and a Diesel 6.

It was built on a lightweight, rivet-bonded aluminum chassis which reduced the car’s weight and hence fuel economic (33mpg on a combined cycle) To the Interior they put the same old charming touch that’s present in their previous models, a leather covered dash and a trapezoidal display screen. This SUV has rebooted an adaptive air suspension and Land Rover claim that its handling will inspire more driver confidence while still maintaining it as an off-road vehicle. Prices are estimated to be around $125,552 (KES 10,540,915)

E60 Roar

If you dream of driving a BMW, drive a E60 M5 BMW. In my case i'd love one with a claret colored vinyl roof oxblood leather upholstery and an opera window. This was the first V10 sedan in the world and was introduced in 2005. featuring a 5Ltr BMW V10 S85 engine.and has 373 kW; 500 bhp; 380 lb·ft of torque. Redline is 8250rpm. Remember Valvetronic in previous BMWs and  famous in the M3? where no throttle butterfly was used, Instead, the engine changed (and still does) its volumetric efficiency by altering the amount of intake valve lift, based on BMW's established double VANOS system, which steplessly varies the timing of both the inlet and exhaust cams, Well in this engine we have individual
throttle bodies per cylinder allowing the engine to operate more efficiently by decreasing pumping losses to achieve more horsepower. 20,548 units were built 19,523 saloons and 1,025 wagons.
