Russian tuning Bentley-Bullet!

We have already got used that Germans, Englishmen, Americans or Japanese are engaged in "bleeding" of expensive bonus cars. But it appears, and in Russia there are the tuning studio, capable to execute car "upgrade" at high enough level. One of them is the Moscow firm Top Car which has appeared in 2004. Up to recent time Top Car specialised basically on "bleeding" of cars Porsche Cayenne and BMW X6, but now russians undertook and for Bentley Continental GT. However, running forward, it is necessary to tell that Top Car did not begin to be engaged in operational development of the power unit or interior, and it was limited only to an ex-terrier.



The car has received a new cowl with ventilating cuts, a bumper with fashionable light-emitting diode "moustaches" and a spoiler, the blacked out front and rear optics, a rear bumper with the choke tube, a spoiler on a boot lid and the chromeplated nozzles on exhaust pipes. Besides, on the car original black 20-inch shod disks are established. A package of completions Top Car has estimated in 25 000 euros. It is in addition possible to order colouring in black matte colour for 7 000 euros. By itself, the car has received also own name – Bullet.





Certainly, while especial in a case with Bentley Continental GT russians do not offer anything. For example, in the same Germany and England tens firms are engaged in similar tuning of initial level. But pleases that fact that in Russia though and much later in what other countries, tuning studio which have in due course every chance start to appear to grow in serious firms and as equals to compete to the European, American and Japanese colleagues. And Top Car can just appear one of them. It is Enough to tell that partners of Top Car are such German studio 9ff and Lumma Design.

2009 Lexus GS 450h Pictures

Lexus GS 450h enters its third model year as still the only hybrid-powered luxury sport sedan in its segment. With its advanced technology, high performance and indulgent luxury, the rear-wheel-drive 2008 GS 450h is the premium model in the GS series.The Lexus GS 450h is not a car, it's a decadent lifestyle. I had it wrong, Lexus drivers aren't bad at all. They're spoiled in a way we all want to be.The GS 450h begins at $56,400 and goes up from there. The hybrid powertrain also enhances performance, but doesn't seem to help much at the pump. I averaged 24 miles per gallon in mixed driving, which is on par with the EPA rating of 22 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. Naturally, this thoroughbred requires premium fuel.

New Car: 2010 Fiat Panda

In order to keep the Panda fresh and up-to-date, Fiat has decided to revised their ever-popular city-car. On the outside, all 2010 Panda adopt the more contemporary body coloured grille found on all variants, excluding the entry-level Active models. In addition to the revised bumpers, new alloy wheel designs, larger exterior mirrors and silver trim finish for the roof bars are now available. Fiat has also added four new exterior colours to the lineup.

Inside, the instrument panel gets fresh graphics while there's also a new selection of upholstery colours.

Mechanically,  improvements are limited to the 1.2 litre petrol engine that now has 69bhp, up from 60bhp and now emits 113g/km CO2, down from 133g/km (eco model emits 119g/km). This same engine is found in the Fiat 500 and Ford KA city-cars. The Panda 4x4 should also have lower CO2 emissions, compared to the 155g/km from the current model. In Europe, Panda buyers have a wide choice of petrol, diesel, natural gas and LPG engines with outputs ranging from 54bhp to 100bhp. Both manual and Dualogic semi-automatic transmissions will also be available. The UK will only get the 2 former engines.

The Panda was launched in September 2003. In the 6 years it has been in production, Fiat has sold more than 1.5 million units of the city-car.

Fuel economy & low taxation top precedence for car buyers (UK)

Fuel consumption and low tax are moving up the priority list for car buyers, according to a new report by British Car Auctions.

In the BCA's Used Car Market Report published this week motorists were asked what sort of car they would buy once the recession is over and the green shoots of recovery have really taken hold. Responses suggest that, even in a more optimistic economic climate, the majority of car owners are planning to remain prudent.

Although 19% of motorists intend to buy 'the same type of car' next time, a third of car buyers will be looking for 'better fuel consumption' and a fifth for 'lower road tax'. This move to save money is underlined by a wish list of 'lower CO2', 'lower maintenance costs' and a 'smaller car'- rounded off by driving a harder bargain on the 'part-exchange value'.

14% of respondents who previously brought new were considering buying a used car next time. Wealthier car buyers are more likely to focus on 'lower CO2' and 'lower depreciation' than others, while older car buyers will generally settle for the status quo when their next car change comes round.

BCA's Tim Naylor said: 'The combination of the recession and high fuel prices has made motorists become a little 'greener' in their outlook. It seems the issues of better fuel consumption, lower CO2 emissions and more affordable road tax will come to the fore when deciding what car to buy next.' 

'Only 22% said they were influenced by the test drive. Despite the fact that this is a significant financial outlay, it seems that car buyers act on their heart rather than their head much of the time. And that can end up with some expensive decisions!'
