Mini Cooper Convertible

samantha1980 — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:12:42 CDT

The new MINI Convertible offers outstanding versatility with its Easy-Load Function, folding rear-seat backrests, and generously-sized loading between the luggage and passenger compartments, which increases the car's cargo space to 23.10 cu ft.
This level of versatility, unparalleled in the convertible segment is enabled by the innovative design and construction of the rollover protection bar. The new MINI Convertible comes with a single-piece rollover protection bar behind the rear seats that spans the entire interior width of the car, without obstructing the driver's visibility, and moves into position automatically in the event of a potential rollover.
The new MINI Convertible will be available in two engine variants. The MINI Cooper Convertible will come equipped with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine featuring fully variable valve management for maximum output of 118 hp at 6,000 rpm. The performance-oriented MINI Cooper S Cabrio will be powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct gasoline injection delivering 172 hp at an engine speed of 5,500 rpm.
From the start, the MINI Cooper S Cabrio and the MINI Cooper Convertible will be equipped with the six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard with optional six-speed automatic transmission. At the same time, the new MINI Convertible owes its nimble handling characteristics to suspension technology that has been significantly upgraded and improved over the former model. Its sophisticated wheel suspension, precise electromechanical power steering, powerful brake system and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) - all standard features - allow the MINI convertible to set a new standard for agility and safety.
Design: MINI all the way, open-air motoring without compromises, and unique proportions.
The design of the MINI Convertible is the result of an evolutionary development process. Compared with the former model, the new MINI Convertible's chiselled body panels impart a more powerful and dynamic look. The stretched side view - the rollover protection bar almost entirely concealed - gives a heightened sense of the cars sporting performance and reveals a profile clearly inspired by the classic roadster.
A chrome beltline molding encircling the entire car at shoulder-level visually connects the body with the roof and windows. The upright windscreen underscores the character and enhances the open-air experience.
The convertible model is unmistakably a MINI at very first sight. The distinct proportions, short, front- and rear- overhangs, larger wheel wells, high beltline, and other signature design cues clearly mark the car as part of the MINI family.
The front-end design features distinguish the MINI Cooper S Cabrio from the MINI Cooper Convertible. Both models come with a hexagon radiator grille and large round headlamps with integrated signal indicators in typical MINI style. The MINI Cooper S Cabrio is recognizable by its Powerdome, rising up almost 0.8", the stylized opening on the engine compartment lid, and the hexagonal grid pattern on the radiator grille as well as the extra-large, lower air intake scoop.
On the MINI Cooper Convertible, the radiator grille boasts a chrome frame and three horizontal, chrome-plated bars and a slightly upturned lower air intake scoop. Both the MINI Cooper S Cabrio and the MINI Cooper Convertible feature positioning light units on either side of the lower air intake, and also house the foglamps that are standard on the Cooper S model.
The rear view of the new MINI Convertible also offers an enhancement of the car's visual presence. The entire rear section is characterized by parallel horizontal that create the "steps" that emphasize the width of the car, a distinctive design cue it shares with the MINI Cooper Hardtop.
The innovative, rear deck lid of the new MINI Convertible opens from the top and is hinged at bottom, creating a generous loading area.
The vertical taillights, slightly larger than those on the former model, are set, jewel-like into chrome surrounds. The particularly sporting character of the MINI Cooper S Cabrio is emphasized further by the dual tailpipes, the large air intake in the rear dam, and the two-piece rear foglamp.
Optimized all-round visibility ensured by even larger side windows and the retractable rollover protection bar.
The soft roof of the new MINI Convertible stands out in particular through its unique design and practical functionality. With the top up the MINI Convertible's low roofline highlight its sporty appearance.
The high-quality, wind-tight and durable soft-top material stretches tautly across the aluminum and steel roof bars, and it resists significant changes in shape or bulging, even at high speeds.
All-round visibility with the top up is improved over the former model, thanks to slightly larger side windows and the newly conceived, retractable rollover protection bar. This single-piece rollover protection bar, moving up and down as required, runs across the entire width of the car just below the rear headrests, therefore offering the driver unrestricted visibility.
The rear window is connected to the soft top by interior seals, allowing it to close flush with the surface of the roof. Made of glass, the rear window may be heated electrically whenever required to avoid any misting or icing effect. Additionally, an optional heated front windscreen is available.
Soft roof with sliding roof function - also for convenient use while driving.
The soft roof opens and closes completely within just 15 seconds, operated by fully automatic, electrohydraulic controls. After the roof has opened, it folds down snugly into the rear end of the car. The precise folding pattern efficiently removes any moisture and avoids any pressure spots or friction which might otherwise cause excessive wear or discoloration of the material. And since the outer skin of the open roof faces upwards, there is no need for a protective tonneau cover.
A toggle switch on the front roof frame activates the opening and closing mechanism. To allow for the spontaneous pleasure of open-air motoring or respond quickly to a sudden downpour, the opening and closing process may be initiated at road speeds of up to 20 mph. Additionally, the driver can open the soft top before setting out via remote control function integrated in the ignition key. The window bars and side windows on the MINI Convertible are retracted automatically when the soft roof starts to open up. The closing process is reversed, and takes place in exactly the opposite order.
Both processes - opening and closing - are performed in a continuous flow, as long as the driver keeps the switch on the roof frame or the button on the remote control pressed down. This gives the driver the flexibility to interrupt the movement of the soft roof in any position. By briefly pressing a separate button, the driver is also able to lower the four side windows simultaneously while the roof remains closed.
The unique folding roof function on the new MINI Convertible is activated completely by electric power. Additionally, the front section of the soft top can be opened up just a bit, by up to 16 inches, again by pressing the switch on the front roof frame. Further, driver and occupants can enjoy open-air in a variety of driving conditions since the sliding roof function may be engaged at speeds of up to 75 mph.
Guarantee for unique driving pleasure: the latest generation of four-cylinder power units.
Muscular, fast-revving and extremely efficient - these are the strengths of the two four-cylinder gasoline engines that will be available in the new MINI Convertible models.
Both power plants are constructed of light alloy and come with a displacement of 1,598 cc, featuring exactly the same distance between cylinders, as well as the same bore and stroke. Further, they benefit from the BMW Group's engine development leadership and proven motorsport technology.
The four-cylinder engines are built at the BMW Group's Hams Hall Engine Plant in Great Britain, from where they go to the MINI Plant in Oxford, where the MINI Convertible is produced. Both engines are fitted into the engine bay of the MINI Convertible at an angle of 180°, with the exhaust side facing forward.
Additional features shared by both the turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines are the two-piece bedplate structure of the crankcase, a trendsetting technology carried over from motorsport, and the cylinder block and bearing housing made of a special aluminium alloy. An integrated chain box in the bearing housing saves weight, improves the car's acoustics, and reduces the number of components.
MINI Cooper S Cabrio: superior power and performance thanks to the Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct gasoline injection.
The new MINI Cooper S Cabrio offers a more intense and thrilling experience of performance than ever before. As the more powerful of the two new models, the MINI Cooper S Cabrio comes with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder delivering no less than 172 hp at 5,500 rpm with the help of a Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct gasoline injection. In the range between 1,600 and 5,000 rpm, this unique power plant develops maximum torque of no less than 177 lb ft, that may be further increased briefly by the Overboost function to 192 lb ft.
The Twin-Scroll turbocharger effectively delivers a boost to the power and performance on the MINI Cooper S Cabrio. The ducts of two cylinders at a time are separated from one another in the exhaust manifold and the turbocharger, serving to reduce exhaust gas counterpressure at low engine speeds in order to capitalize on the dynamic effect of the pulsating gas columns in the manifold. This enhances turbocharger's response and delivers a particularly spontaneous build-up of engine power.
As a result, the MINI Cooper S Cabrio is virtually free of the "turbo gap" when accelerating so typical of a conventional turbocharged engine. Acceleration to 60 mph comes in just 7.0 seconds with the manual gearbox and 7.2 seconds with the automatic. Engine flexibility and response is truly impressive also at high speeds, and the top speed of the car is an equally impressive 138 mph (135 mph for vehicles equipped with the optional automatic transmission.)
The turbocharged four-cylinder featured in the MINI Cooper S Cabrio benefits from the extra power of direct fuel injection applying the common-rail principle. The stainless-steel common rail linking all cylinders is filled with fuel by a high-pressure pump at the rear-end of the intake camshaft. Injection valves positioned at the side of the cylinder head then deliver fuel within fractions of a second and in an exact dose from the common rail directly to the combustion chamber. Four valve pockets and a combustion chamber trough positioned precisely in the middle of each piston help to provide optimum stratification of the homogeneous fuel/air mixture.
With this combination of a Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection, the new MINI Cooper S Cabrio offers remarkable performance data in several respects: Specific output of the engine is approximately 110 hp per liter with a CO2 rating of 153 grams per kilometer.
MINI Cooper Convertible: fully variable valve management for fresh performance.
Displacing 1.6 liters, the normal-aspiration power unit in the new MINI Cooper Convertible combines fresh and sporting performance with truly outstanding economy. In this case maximum output of 118 hp comes at 6,000 rpm, torque peaking at 114 lb-ft at 4,250 rpm.
The innovative technical features of this four-cylinder include fully variable valve management developed on the basis of the BMW Group's unique VALVETRONIC technology. The strengths of this valve control concept is that the intake valve lift and the valve opening period adjust to the driver's respective power and performance requirements, within fractions of a second. To achieve this superiority in engine control, the camshaft acts on the valves not directly via a follower arm, but rather through an additional intermediate lever where the pivot point is adjusted infinitely by an electrically driven eccentric shaft.
Changing over from minimum to maximum lift takes only about 300 milliseconds - and at the same time valve timing is varied on both the intake and exhaust side as a function of engine speed. This adjustment process is again infinite, with valve timing set to current driving conditions likewise within 300 milliseconds at the very most.
Interacting with one another, variable valve management and engine speed-related camshaft control serve to optimize both the torque curve and power output. As a result, at low speeds, the engine of the MINI Cooper Convertible delivers superior torque right from the start, while developing significantly more power than a conventional engine at high revs.
Light, innovative, efficient: most advanced drive technology for reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
Both engines featured in the new MINI Convertible are fitted crosswise at the front and convey their superior power to the front wheels. Composite - instead of cast - camshafts and the crankshaft are optimized for weight and part of the lightweight concept boasted by these all-aluminum power units.
Fuel consumption is further optimized by an oil pump with volume flow control and an electronically activated water pump for the coolant circuit. And last but not least, both the MINI Cooper S Cabrio and the MINI Cooper Convertible come as standard with the latest innovations for reducing both fuel consumption and emissions.
Six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard, six-speed automatic as an option.
Both the MINI Cooper S Cabrio and the MINI Cooper Convertible come as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, however, both models are also available with an optional six-speed automatic transmission.
The use of six gears in both cases naturally enhances the agile and sporting character of the new MINI Convertible. With its short shift travel and precise gearshift, the manual gearbox provides ideal conditions for dynamic acceleration and driving pleasure.
Likewise, the automatic transmission - which features electronic management to shift gears with minimum interruption of power - allows sporting and dynamic driving maneuvers, combining the spontaneous and precise reactions of the automatic mode with supreme gearshift comfort.
As an alternative, the driver of the Cooper S is able to shift gears individually in the manual mode by means of paddles on the steering wheel, as in a Formula 1 racing car. This allows him to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times, keeping the car under full control regardless of driving conditions.
The new MINI Convertible offers even more dynamic performance with the help of the optionally available Sports Button. Positioned in front of the gearshift or, respectively, gear selector lever on the center console, the Sports Button serves to control engine management, steering and where appropriate, the automatic transmission. Activating the sports mode at the touch of a button, the driver adjusts the gas pedal control map for a far higher standard of agility and even more direct steering response. And on cars featuring automatic transmission, finally, electronic management again helps to make the gearshift even faster.
Suspension technology on the new MINI Convertible: go-kart feeling of the highest standard.
To a large extent, the unique position of the new MINI Convertible in its segment is the result of the car's exceptional driving characteristics. The open-air MINI therefore also offers the go-kart feeling so typical of the brand, now raised to an even higher standard of excellence.
The car's suspension technology safely and smoothly converts the raw power of the new engines into enhanced agility and precise handling - offering even greater driving pleasure in dynamic bends, on winding country roads and in city traffic.
On the front axle, MacPherson spring struts ensure excellent wheel guidance at all times. The multi-arm axle at the rear - developed with all the know-how of the BMW Group - consistently guarantees optimum road contact through its elaborate kinematics, with aluminum longitudinal arms helping to keep weight to a minimum.
Likewise, anti-rollover protection bars reduce body sway to a very low level, again contributing to the agile and safe behavior of the car.
Compared with the MINI Cooper Convertible, the suspension of the MINI Cooper S Cabrio is even more sporting and dynamic. As an option, finally, both models are available with sports suspension for an even higher standard of driving pleasure.
Electrical Power Steering (EPS) makes a significant contribution to the agility of the MINI Convertible, enhancing it to an even higher standard. Power Assistance geared to road speed guarantees low steering forces when parking as well as a precise response at high speeds on the Autobahn. At the same time EPS also enhances the efficiency of the car by activating the electric motor and consuming energy only when power assistance is really required or desired by the driver.
Exclusive to MINI: DSC and DTC with electronic locking function on the differential in conjunction with front-wheel drive.
Apart from the sports-tuned suspension and powerful brakes, the new MINI Convertible also comes with the most sophisticated driving stability systems. Technologies featured as standard are ABS anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), as well as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Hill Start-Off Assistance.
Whenever required, DSC intervenes individually in the car's brakes and reduces engine output to provide extra stability, thus preventing the car from swerving out of control either at the front or at the rear under particularly dynamic conditions and on slippery surfaces.
The Brake Assistant also included in the DSC package recognizes emergency application of the brakes and immediately builds up maximum brake power whenever necessary, keeping the car's stopping distance as short as possible.
As an option, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is able to increase the response thresholds of the car's driving stability control system and allow carefully controlled slip on the drive wheels. MINI is indeed the only car maker the world over to offer this function on a front-wheel-drive vehicle.
To activate DTC, all the driver has to do is press a button, then setting off in the MINI Convertible with the wheels slightly spinning - for example on a snowbound road or loose sand - or approaching the car's physical driving limits even more dynamically whenever required. Then, when reaching the limit, DSC will cut in as usual also in the DTC mode.
As an option the driver may completely deactivate DSC whenever desired. Then, in the DSC-Off mode, another function again absolutely unique on front-wheel-drive vehicles ensures optimum drive power and perfect traction in particularly dynamic bends. This is the electronically controlled locking function on the rear axle differential available as part of the DTC function on the new MINI Convertible. Referred to as Electronic Differential Lock Control (EDLC), this high-tech system serves to apply the brakes appropriately on a drive wheel spinning in a tight bend, thus promoting the car's drive power and traction without exerting a negative influence on the steering behavior of the MINI Convertible, which therefore takes bends even more smoothly and faster than before.
The MINI Cooper Convertible and MINI Cooper S Cabrio run on 16-inch light-alloy wheels and 195/55 R 16 runflat tires, enabling the driver to continue even after a complete puncture with full loss of pressure.
As an option both models are available with 17-inch rims in Black Star Bullet Design developed exclusively for the MINI Convertible.
Optimized occupant safety ensured by the new rollover safety system, four airbags and central safety electronics.
Sophisticated suspension technology and the most advanced driving stability systems in the new MINI Convertible significantly reduce the risk of an accident. Suitable precautions are also taken for situations the driver is not able to influence, including: an increase in passenger cell stiffness by ten percent over the former model, high load-resistant carrier structures and precisely defined deformation zones, which ensure appropriate diversion and absorption of impact energy in the event of a head-on, side or rear-end collision.
To meet the specific needs of an open-air car, the newly constructed floorpan, as well as A-pillars and side-sills, are reinforced to an even higher standard than on the hardtop MINI - providing additional strength and stability.
The new MINI Convertible comes as standard with frontal airbags and side head/torso airbags integrated in the outer flanks of the front seat backrest and protecting the head, the upper body and the hips of the occupants from injury in the event of a side-on collision. All four seats feature three-point inertia-reel seat belts with additional belt force limiters and optimized belt tensioners on the front seats.
All restraint systems are controlled by the car's central safety electronics and are activated as a function of the type and severity of a collision.
The safety system in the MINI Convertible also comprises a rollover sensor activating the newly developed rollover protection bar as well as the belt latch tensioners and the head/torso airbags in the event of a rollover. Interacting with the windscreen frame appropriately reinforced for the Convertible, the new rollover protection bar moving up electromechanically within 150 milliseconds whenever required acts as part of the passenger cell ensuring maximum occupant safety and protection.
In its all-round safety concept, the new MINI Convertible is designed to fulfill not only the legal requirements in all international car markets, but also to achieve outstanding results in all relevant crash tests and consumer safety inspections the world over.
The interior: spacious, variable, sophisticated.
Through its design and construction, the new rollover protection bar enhances not only occupant safety, but also the everyday driving qualities of the new MINI Convertible. Made of one single piece of aluminum, the rollover protection bar extends across the entire width of the interior behind the rear seats. The two ends of the rollover protection bars rest in holders that move up the entire safety unit electromechanically whenever required. In its basic position, on the other hand, the rollover protection bar is no higher than the rear headrests, thus remaining out of sight when the driver is in looking to the rear.
Designed as a single-piece element, the rollover protection bar further serves to integrate a large loading facility between the luggage and the passenger compartment, giving the new MINI Convertible additional variability.
Depending on requirements, the rear-seat backrest - split down the middle - folds down either in a 50:50 subdivision or completely from right to left. With the roof closed, this increases luggage compartment capacity to 23.10 cubic, feet, exceeding the capacity available in the former model by 1.93 cubic feet. Maximum load, in turn, is up by 66 lb to 948 lb.
Like its predecessor, the new MINI Convertible again comes with an Easy-Load system. With the rear lid swiveling down conveniently, the entire lid also serves as a storage tray able to carry a load of up to 176 lb.
A further important point is that the rear roof frame swivels up by approximately 35°, creating a generous luggage compartment opening for much easier loading of bulky objects.
With the roof open, in turn, the new MINI Convertible offers luggage capacity of 4.38 cubic feet. As long as the roof is closed, the parcel shelf - which rests on two guide rails and holds the roof when open - swivels up to the top, increasing luggage capacity to 5.95 cubic feet.
As an option, the MINI Convertible is also available with a new rear rack installation kit, with holders in the rear bumper serving to take up a bicycle carrier available as special equipment.
Again, this gives the new MINI Convertible a unique combination of driving pleasure and function. And even the influence of the wind rushing by with the roof open may be adjusted to individual requirements via the optionally available wind deflector, which serves to significantly reduce air swirl within the interior. Fitted in position behind the front seats, the wind deflector moves up quickly and easily in one simple operation.
Premium quality and diverse style within the interior.
Over and above the thrilling pleasure of driving the new MINI Convertible, the first impression the new MINI Convertible will leave on its beholder is determined by quality enhanced to an even higher level than before; modern controls and instruments design; top-quality materials; and attractive color combinations.
Even in standard trim, the MINI Convertible clearly expresses its exceptional position as the world's only premium convertible in its segment. The wide range of paintwork and roof colors, interior variants and special equipment simply begs the enthusiast to take a closer look at the car - especially because the new MINI Convertible comes with a complete choice of customization options so typical of the brand, making each and every car a personally configured one-off showpiece.
The body of the new MINI Convertible is available in no less than 12 paintwork colors, including Horizon Blue and Midnight Black metallic - featured for the first time, as well as Interchange Yellow, which is exclusive to this stunning car. The soft roof comes as standard either in Black or classic Hot Chocolate Brown. As an option there is also the Denim Blue roof color, characterized by a particularly sporting and robust flair of material, a silver effect generated by gloss threads woven into the roof, and Orange-colored seams.
In regular trim, the interior of the MINI Cooper Convertible comes with Black/Gray Leatherette, and when ordered with the Sport Seat option, there is no charge for Carbon Black cloth upholstery. The MINI Cooper S Cabrio, in turn, features sports seats standard in either Black/Gray Leatherette or Carbon Black Checkered cloth.
Furthermore, both the MINI Cooper Convertible and the MINI Cooper S Cabrio are available with three versions of leather in Carbon Black, Tuscan Beige and Hot Chocolate. Also, three other cloth/leather combination upholsteries are available: two-tone Cream White/Black, Rooster Red/Black and Interchange Yellow/Black.
The interior surfaces are also finished with specific features on each model: the MINI Cooper Convertible boasts trim surfaces on the dashboard, elliptic door rings and seven trim rings in Fine White Silver; while the MINI Cooper S Cabrio comes with Checkered trim at the same points, with the number of silver trim rings increased to sixteen.
As an option, the interior trim surfaces are also available in Fluid Silver, Piano Black, Brushed Alloy and English Oak, as well as Interchange Yellow and Horizon Blue - exclusive to the MINI Convertible and corresponding with the body color.
As yet another styling feature, the optional Color Line accentuates the lower section of the instrument panel and the armrests on the doors in Dark Grey, Cream White, Rooster Red, Pacific Blue or Hot Chocolate.
Likewise available as an option within the interior, the Chromeline Package provides a sophisticated glossy finish around the instrument panel and the center console, with chrome elements additionally highlighting the sophisticated character of the rollover protection bar system.
The interior illumination of the MINI Convertible featured as standard provides a harmonious, anti-dazzle light effect and allows the driver to use the controls and instruments safely and without problems at night. Over and above illumination of the glove box and luggage compartment, reading lights supplementing the interior illumination on the front roof frame also come as standard.
Additional footwell and exit lights as well as discreet light sources around the center console are standard. The ambient illumination function sets a particular highlight in the interior of the MINI Convertible, serving to provide a discreet "waterfall" light effect from above and indirectly illuminating the center console, the door pockets and door handle shells, as well as the side panels at the rear, to give the interior a truly unique ambience. At the touch of a button, the driver or passengers are able to vary the emotional mood generated by the ambient lights from warm orange to sporting blue.
Optional automatic air conditioning with a Convertible mode.
As an option the new MINI Convertible comes with either manual air conditioning (standard) or automatic climate control (optional). The automatic unit even comprises a special Convertible mode activated automatically as soon as the roof is opened. In the Convertible mode the temperature set by the driver and passengers is consistently maintained even under the influence of the wind rushing by.
Whenever the a/c compressor is not used it is automatically switched off in the interest of enhanced efficiency. And in low outside temperatures the heating in the footwells is automatically intensified to provide a pleasant climate inside the car as quickly as possible.

Range Rover Sport

The Range Rover Sport is a excellent piece of machinery to have if I had this vehicle I would be proud of it.

The Range Rover Sport is in a range of its own there is nothing to compare to this.

The Exterior of the Range Rover Sport is simple and they haven't gone to over board on the exterior which I like very much when I look at a car see you could be looking to buy a new car and you see a car that is normal car that could be a Ford Fiesta and they could make a brand new model of the Fiesta and it could have solar panels 20 inch alloys and a load of crazy stuff but the car wouldn't be that great its self and I can bet now that you would buy that rather than a car that is just simply but elegant at the same time like the Range Rover Sport.

I know and I understand that the Range Rover isn't one of the cheapest cars that you could buy but honestly how could you say no to it you try going to a dealership and looking at the new Range Rover Sports and say no it is almost impossible to do.

Honda S2000

The new Honda S2000 is a great and mighty car it has an unusually Shape from all other roadsters it is a good little car that would be noticed and would definatlly stand out in a crowd.

The Honda S2000 is longer than its rival the BMW Z4 but it is a lot shorter than its other rival the Porsche Boxster and the Nissan 350Z.

The Honda S2000 is not all that great inside the vehicle when you step in to it, It comes equipped with two of the nicest body hugging leather trimmed seats that money could buy but when you go to drive the S2000 you are limited to a very few different driving positions because the steering wheel doesn't adjust to suite the driver and the seats have to be moved manually.

Ferrari Enzo

The Exterior of the Ferrari Enzo is just unbelievable to look at it is great I have seen a lot of really good looking cars but I would say that this one tops the lot of them no other car that I have ever seen is as good looking as this one and in my opinion no other car will ever look as good as this one.

The interior to the Ferrari Enzo is not really much different to any other Ferrari the Enzo only has two seats for two people to be inside at any given time I just cant belive that you can order diffrent sixed seats for the Enzo you can order a Small Medium Large or Extra Large I got confussed when I heard about that I was not sure weather Ferrari was making and selling cars or clothes.

When you get a chance to look under the bonnet of the Ferrari Enzo I can guarantee you that you will be amazed to see the size of the engine it holds a New 6 liter V 12 and all that is grouped together to give out a whopping 7,800 RPM which proceedes to give a 660BHP.

Aston Martin

The Aston Martin DB7 has been known for its two different types of body's the Coupe and the Convertible they both come with a six cylinder engine that has a great super charger.

The exterior of the Aston Martin DB7 is one great piece of body work it is a two door car heaven it is a lovely car to look at from the outside and is guaranteed to turn heads.

The interior of the Aston Martin DB7 is great as well all DB7 cars have two bucket seats in the front and a smaller two seater in the rear of the car but if you were ordering a brand new Aston Martin DB7 you can order it without the extra two seater in the rear.

Suzuki Liana

The new 2007 Suzuki Liana is like a gender confused person it doesn't no weather it is a MPV or a Hot Hatchback it is to small for a MPV but it is also to big for a normal sized hot Hatchback.

Unfortunately there is only one engine size for you to chose from and that is a 1.3 petrol engine which gives out a tiny 90 BHP and trust me you can put your foot down all the way and you will never get pulled by the police and the ride its self isn't even nice it is un comfy and tight and bumpy ad not smooth.

The interior of the new 2007 Suzuki Liana is the exact same as the old 2004 model the only difference is the old 2004 model had a stupid little digital dashboard and in the new 2007 model they have replaced it with a proper big clear dials.

The new 2007 Suzuki Liana comes with the following things listed as standard:

Remote Central Locking, Electric Windows and mirrors, a CD Player, and a front seat storage tray.

If you would like the optional alloy wheels and Air Con then you need more money.

Porsche

Porsche Cayman

The 2007 Porsche Cayman is too much based on the new Porsche Boxster but the Cayman looks better and I know you think now how can that be if it is based to much on the Boxster but there is the smaller differences that make it more aggressive.

The new 2007 Porsche Cayman has a 2.7 Litre straight six engine which powers a 245 BHP or you could have a 3.4 Litre which gives out a 295 BHP.

The new 2007 Porsche Cayman has the same interior as all other Porsche cars that there is and for once this is not a bad thing either because all of the Porsche's have stunning interiors.

All of the 2007 Porsche's come with air conditioning a CD player sports leather seats a leather steering wheel and 17 inch alloy wheels but the Cayman S adds an extra gear to make six 18 inch alloy wheels satellite navigation ceramic breaks.

Peugeot

Jonathan-Bruen — Sun, 13 May 2007 14:04:48 CDT

Peugeot 1007

Three different engines are offered up when you look at the new 2007 there is a 1.6 which produces a 110 BHP there is a 1.4 which produces a 75 BHP and then there is a 1.4 HDI which produces a smaller 70 BHP.

The new 2007 Peugeot 1007is made and designed to be a city car which means that the ride of the car will be great and the steering will be better than just normal power steering.

The doors on the new 2007 Peugeot 1007 are an absolute dream when you go in to a full car park and are worried about hitting the car next to you with your doors. The rear legroom in side the back of the Peugeot 1007 is a small bit tighter than just a normal car.

Lamborghini

The new 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo is not over priced like all those other Lamborghini's that you would see for sale out there. The Lamborghini Gallardo is the only car that is made to be competing with the Ferrari design.

The Lamborghini Gallardo is a smashing two door two seater sports car.

The new 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo comes stock and standard with a five litre V10 six speed manual engine which will pound out a staggering 500+ BHP.

MG SV

The new MG SV is a complete monster of a piece of machinery to be honest this car is just amazing I think that if I had the money I would by this car rather than any Ferrari or Porsche or any car like them.

The all new MG SV packs a good punch the whole of the body work is Carbon Fibre which makes it look astonishing.

The MG SV coupé does not try to make its self look good for passengers in the back and if you are a family man then I consider you look else where for a car because this car is clearly a one man job all though it does offer two great front seats and they are made out of the finest mix of leather and suede.

The standard equipment for the all new MG SV is completely mad altogether all thought it isn't the best equipment that you could buy for your money but does any other car have a nitrous oxide system listed on the optional extras list. I DON'T THINK SO!

Smart

Jonathan-Bruen — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 16:14:54 CDT

Smart Roadster.

I think that when you drive the Smart Roadster you will not want to stop driving it until you need to to get petrol I think this because it is such a great little car to be in and to be driving.

The Smart Roadster has changed a bit from the Smart Roadster Coupé from a glass panoramic roof to a small boot with a convertible folding roof.

Although you might think to look at the Smart Roadster that it would be quick because it looks like a sports car the Smart Roadster is not that quick at all. But don't let that change your mind about buying a Smart Roadster because it is a really light car and the handling is just amazing and I tell you one thing the Smart Roadster is amazing around corners. The low to the ground driving position will make you feel like you are in a true sports car indeed.

The cock-pit of the Smart Roadster is just complete quality you really get a great piece of mind from being inside this car. The Smart Roadster only has two seats and they hold two fully sized adults in a nice hangable way. The Smart Roadster can get a little bit noisy when yo decide to cruise at a higher speed.
