Superb and undeniably the best performance is what the Nissan GTR all about. This well rounded car is a hundred percent performance vehicle. The latest version of the Nissan GTR is the R35 model which has the basic features similar to the earlier models including the R34, R33 and R32.

If you are the proud owner of Nissan GTR, you must know that this car combines both performance and practical functionality in a way you cannot find in any other car. The company Nissan describes the latest R35 model of the GTR as a sports car which is multi performance based and not just a fast car with numbers looking awesome and inspiring in car magazines.

The Nissan GTR in fact can be summed up as a super car with its speed, violence, noise, stimulation and awe inspiriting visual attraction. Speed of this car is not just when it is going straight. For instance, in the Tsukuba circuit conducted in Japan, the Nissan GTR gave some of the high end and high performing sports car models a run for their money. These include the Gallardo and Porsche cars. A more convincing reference would be that the production model of the GTR clocked the best time on Germany’s Nurburgring. These achievements clearly show GTR is packed with awesome power, ability to corner effectively and brake instantly showing the world that it is equal to any other super car models in performance. 

Owners of the car vouch for it saying it is even better than a super car. This machine can be driven around in any weather conditions be it a snowstorm or just rain. There is enough luggage and passenger space. The engine is so quiet you can actually drive around your neighborhood even at 2 am without waking up anyone. Having been tested in the most demanding Nurburgring circuit, this machine needs no further recommendation. Safety aspects of this car enable drivers to drive around in the most demanding tracks without any fear.

The R35 GTR can be labeled as a power packed high performance car especially designed for the average driver. While a professional circuit expert would find too many controls taken away by the computer integrated system, an average driver is sure to find this interesting and exciting as they can perform equal to a professional even if they drive only occasionally on tracks. They can have fun dashing down empty and winding roads even as they relax during their weekends or can rush to office with the help of this awesome speed and power packed machine.

With the Nissan GTR R35 model, the company has successfully proved to the world that it is possible to pack into a car technology as well as drivability in a car. Being much heavier than a sports car where they have to compromise on the weight to obtain speed, you can imagine the innovation and advanced technology integrated into this car to make it fast and powerful. Nissan GTR is thus a beast with endearing qualities.

Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe

The 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe GXP is going to be a lot like classic sports cars, but with a more modern look of course. The Solstice is created for the driver who absolutely loves great styling and a balanced performance. It was released at the 2008 New York Auto Show. They don’t expect to start production on this vehicle until sometime in 2008 and they say not to expect these Coupes in the Pontiac dealers until early 2009.

The Solstice is based on the convertible, and now they have designed it to perform in all weather and terrain. There is still an adjustable roof panel which opens up the roof and roadway to the driver and passengers of this luxury vehicle. The Solstice is the top selling roadster in the US right now and with this new release, it looks to further itself in the front of the pack.

This coupe comes with a 2.4L with 173HP as well as the GXP hoontastic 260HP 2.0L turbo mill. The Solstice will be sold for roughly $30,000 a piece and they look to sell out at that price. The official price hasn’t been determined yet, and one major setback is that the Solstice may not have any trunk space whatsoever. The release of this vehicle at the Auto Show was huge and it was even accompanied by 50 Cent, which must be great exposure for a car.

The Pontiac Solstice has been being hyped up for a little while now and a lot of people sure can’t wait for the actual release of this car to the general public. It will be in a reasonable price range and most people will be able to purchase this one for their collection. It’s a great collection piece for any sports enthusiast and I expect to see quite a few of these on the roads come 2009.

Saleen S5S Raptor Concept

When you see it for the first time, you may think it is Ferrari or a Lamborghini. But you will be surprised to know this yellow one is an all American car.

Saleen chose the ethanol burning engine to help reduce emissions and oil dependence. It reaches 0 to 60 MPH in 3.2 seconds. The Saleen S5S Raptor achieved a top speed of over 200 MPH.

The over all look of the car is simply astonishing. It is definitely going to turn heads wherever it goes. The sexy front flanks and wedge design is perfect for the super car. You can see the speed even in the design of its head lights.

The Saleen S5S Raptor is subtler version of its predecessor S7 and is made with light weight aluminum composites. Sun light drizzles through the solar tinted glass sun roof. Saleen says that the S5S Raptor could be on the road in two years at an estimated $185,000, depending on the public's reaction to this car.

2010 Mazda MX-0 Concept Design

When it comes to driving, many factors come into play. The 2010 Mazda MX-0focuses on minimum weight for superior cornering and acceleration. This model is based on a previous model, the MX-5, serving as its benchmark for a light-weight but fast car. Based on the MX-5 the design team was able to replace most of its components with simpler ones.

Lightweight materials were used to efficiently reduce its weight but a car that is too light might end up tipping over when cornering quickly whereas a car that is too heavy might not run fast enough. The Mazda MX-0 is a lightweight car and together with high-torque electric motors makes this car both light and fast and by using less energy and has a minimized use of raw materials, this makes this car environment and economy friendly as well. A correct power to weight ratio together with resource conservation is observed in this car for best performance, optimum driving comfort and being good for the environment.

Hyundai QarmaQ

Hyundai has presented at the Geneva Show the series model i30 hatchback and the new QarmaQ concept.The crossover Concept, which has been announced in a sketch published a few weeks ago by Hyundai, brings an important change of approach in what concerns the materials used in its composition.
While the traditional cars use metal and glass, QarmaQ is assembled from plastic materials made by GE Plastics. The QarmaQ concept is the result of the cooperation between the 2 companies and brings, as novelty, a vista of the kind that only a view from the chopper gives, because of the great surface of the plasticized windows from the car's body.
By integrating GE's polycarbonate glazing wrap-around and the GE Lexan windscreens, the body weight of the cars is reduced by almost 50 %. A unique technology characterizes Lexan screens: Exatec Technology. It' s a technology through which a thin, protective layer of glass is deposited on the screen, which helps when protecting from scratching or effects of humidity. The material, much lighter than traditional glass used in automotive industry, also increases the impact resistance and both occupant and pedestrian safety. When talking about pedestrian safety, we can also mention the system that uses deformable sections under the concept's body panels, which is able to absorb crush energy in case a collision with a person may happen.
GE Plastics' High Performance Thermoplastic Composite (which is used for the horizontal body panels) manages to also save some weight. 900 recycled plastic bottles have been used when manufacturing other body panels.
The new concept is a showcase of 30 new technologies that will be found in the future Hyundai models. The car is the result of the hard work of Hyundai Motor Europe's Design and Technical Center and it has been engineered in cooperation with GE Plastics. It will be ready to roll in 2008 to 2014.

The leather processed for the interior by master craftsmen is extraordinarily soft. This characteristic natural product with its special grain and the perfect craftsmanship of its fancy stitching convey an exquisite flair around the redesigned sports steering wheel.
