The Porsche 911 Black Edition offer the core 911 principles of distinctive design with inner strength; with a high level of specification that emphasises the iconic styling of the car and enhances the interior, while retaining the authentic sporting character of the driving experience.

The Cayman was born

To some, the Cayman is simply a Porsche Boxster with a slightly more convenient hard-top. This is simply not the case.

Although the Porsche Cayman shares the same mid-engine arrangement as the Gen 2 Boxter, in 2006 the engine head was replaced with the 3.6 litre head from the Carrera, allowing the use of the Vario-Cam system, also seen in the 911. The engine itself has had an upgrade from a 3.2 litre, to a new, more powerful version displaced at 3.4 litres.

On first glance.

The body of the Cayman is very similar to the Boxster, with an obvious difference being the hard-top roof. The Cayman also borrowed body parts such as the doors, fenders and trunk lid from the Boxster. The dash is also identical. But as the saying goes, "never judge a book by its cover", this could not be more applicable when talking about the Porsche Cayman.

Let's take a look at the set-up.

With the Cayman now having a hard-top roof, this gave the engineers the option to stiffen the suspension system for better road handling. With that in mind, the engine now boasts another 15 more horsepower than the Boxster S, with the manual version giving speeds of 0-62 in just 5.4 seconds. These factors have greatly increased the overall performance of the Cayman that has an engine output of 295 horsepower, with torque reaching 251lb at 6,250 rpm. With the Boxster reaching a top speed of 167mph, the Cayman takes you to its limit at 171mph.

Another feature that makes the Cayman a huge improvement over the Boxster is its rigidity. Lower springs and strut-stop springs, coupled with larger roll bars gives an overall rigidity increase of 150% over the Boxster S. The Cayman also comes with an active spoiler for extra-down force. This spoiler will activate at speeds of 75 miles and over.

The same goes for the GTC Paris Concept's direct injection and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 290-horsepower that strongly hints at the specifications of the Golf R / Scirocco R-rivaling Astra GTC OPC model, which is also due in late 2011.

The Antera is slightly smaller in size than the current Saturn VUE; although the Antera reportedly will have only two doors, the Saturn VUE model will get four doors. Both vehicles are closer in size to the current Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V models, their chief competitors. This smaller size also permits Saturn to introduce a slightly larger 7 passenger SUV next year, the Outlook.

Mercedes forthwith picked up a whole lot of credit for this model when it was initially introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. The design of the Mercedes is allegedly an update to one of the Mercedes' all-time models in the 300SL Gullwing. The short body of this car and the passenger placement nearer the real axle make it both compact and simpler to handle at greater speeds than other comparable designs.

The 408HP A3 Sedan concept may have overshadowed the RS3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, but now Audi has turned its attention to the latter. The brand with the four-ring logo released a new set of photos showing off its 340 horsepower-strong model posing on the streets of Monaco, as the company gets ready to begin shipping the first examples of the hot hatch this spring.

The four-wheel-drive hatch is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine producing 340HP and 450 Nm (331 lb-ft) of torque, good enough for 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.6 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Priced at €49,900 ($68,200) in Germany, it is also €600 ($835) cheaper than its Bavarian rival.




















Other Detail Audi RS3:

All the headlines, though, belong to the engine. Shared with the TT RS, it develops 335bhp and is enough to send the RS3 to 62mph in little over 4.5 seconds. Just as importantly, it develops its maximum pull from 1600rpm, so it delivers real flexibility. That means it's perfectly happy to dawdle around town or keep up with the ebb and flow of motorway traffic with little more than a flex of the right ankle. www.whatcar.com

he powerplant in the RS3 is the single-turbocharged, 2.5-liter inline-five also found in the TT RS. Derived from the simple and inexpensive 170-hp engine available in the U.S.-market VW Golf and Jetta, it is basically an EA113 four-cylinder with an extra cylinder. www.caranddriver.com

The 2010 Camaro is one of the few cars to come out of the design studio looking very much like it's prototype. Rather than deliver an updated fifth generation version of the Camaro, the sometimes overused retro theme was selected, hearkening back to the design cues that made the car such a big hit when it debuted in 1967. But Chevrolet did a terrific job of evoking the flavor of the past with modern creature comforts. But how is it to drive the new 2010 Camaro?

Camaro RS

Various trim levels are available to make the car suit your taste, but most people will look at one of two currently available models: the RS and SS variants. My first test drive was with the six cylinder powered RS (for rally Sport) version. This V6 is a version of the General Motors corporate engine that goes in many of their cars these days. With Direct Injection and other modern technologies, this engine makes over 300 horsepower. For reference, the last of the fourth generation Camaro's only made around 20 more horsepower, and that was with a V8.

From the Cockpit

Standard equipment on the 2010 Camaro is plentiful, but some materials are a bit hard on the eyes and a bit less soft to the touch for a car at this price point. The dark interior contrasts the thin slit of light coming in through the very cool looking, but hard to see out of windows. Some function is, sadly, sacrificed in the name of form and selling more cars.

The RS may be the best deal for many, with the standard independent rear suspension and light six cylinder engine contributing to a light front end with enough power to make the RS a great handling car. Autocrossers may like the RS for just this reason. But what the six lacks, besides a power bump to V8 territory, is the kick in the pants power and sound of the corporate LS series engines installed in more expensive models. Without further ado, we move on the the Camaro "King of the Hill".



010 Chevrolet Camaro Red Flash Concept
Camaro SS

The Super Sport model endeavors to recall the days of big block power. Chevrolet's website states that this 6.2 liter V8 can get a real world 19 miles per gallon in the EPA test cycle. But with 422 horsepower on tap, many will not be able to restrain themselves enough to see their best mileage. In fact, after driving the SS, it was hard to return it to the dealer. The SS does everything the RS does, but with more force. The handling is somewhat compromised by the heavier engine, but the suspension does a good job of reigning that in. Should understeer become an issue, judicious (not unbridled, particularly with the SS) application of the throttle will help that independent rear step out and correct the vehicles' direction.

Conclusion

With a mimimum of 300 horsepower and some impressive standard equipment, the 2010 Camaro is fun. Check off the option box for that SS engine and you will feel superhuman when behind the wheel. Although outward visibility is somewhat compromised, there will be no mistake when you come down the road that this is anything but a Camaro. Considering all of this, it's not surprising that this vehicle has earned the status of a Consumer's Digest Best Buy.
