honda civic

The Civic from Honda has is the second continuous run care from the Japanese maker. The Honda Civic was updated in 1990 and after several changes spanning generations is now designed larger and more upscale.

Current Civic Facelift

During 2009, the Honda Civic design received a slight facelift to the rear and front of the vehicle. The changes to the exterior included a grill designed like a honeycomb and also revised wheels that included additional spokes, and a bar of trim made from chrome above the area of the license plate. In place of the chrome strip normally used for the front logo for Honda vehicles has been refined with the edges designed sharper on both of the ends. Other features that have changed are the fog lights are slightly revised in the grill area to allow for a choice of Honda Civic vehicles with or without fog lights.

Newer Features

Interior changes to the design of the Honda Civic include leather wrap on the steering wheel that is optional and, blue tooth compatibility included in the Civic LX model. The LX Civic sports LX-S, with a rear spoiler, black sports seats, and chrome exhaust tips. The two-tier dashboard, including the digital speedometer, and inline 1.8 liter 4 engine are still included in the design specifications. The newer generations, seventh and eighth Honda Civics are now described as compacts instead of the more common subcompact term. The newer models include higher gravity centers, additional weight, which has lessen their attractiveness to the more passionate drivers.

The newer versions up dates are unwelcome for those who use the Honda Civic for more than just a family car. With the double-wishbone suspension located in the front of the later model Civics replace by MacPherson struts, some drivers feel the handing is no longer superior to the older Honda Civics and don't allow for needed control of the dynamic camber angle. All in all the newer model Honda Civics have a more aggressive design than past models.

bmw z4

Whether you own a Z3, wish you do, or you are just curious about the Z3, you're about to love BMW's new Z4. This car is BMW's substitute for Z3 and it used to come in two versions, as a coupe and as a roadster. When in 2009 design for the second version of Z4 was discused designers came up with a compromise. It is not going to be a standard hardtop, nor it is going to be a standard roadster. It will be combination of these two ideas. And that retractable hardtop design won the Red Dot Design award for 2009. And one more interesting fact about this beauty is that this car's interior and exterior was designed by woman.

Intelligent use of light-weight materials, aerodinamic design and a wide palette of available motors are facts that secure its sporty nature, and give you feeling that this car is part of you in any bend. And the fact that you can do all this with a roof down is a evidence of brilliance of BMW engineers. The hard aluminum roof folds down on a push of a button in just 20 seconds. And feeling that you get while driving such a car is sometimes just to intense to be described it with words.
But, engineers in BMW also added few special features that are well appreciated. The best example of these features are tires with reduced rolling resistance. Less resistance means more power available for accelerating and driving, and this means better fuel eficiency, and less noise generated by tires.

All versions of Z4 come with standard six speed manual transmission, but few models have six speed automatic transmission as option. Z4 has shown remarkable qualities in every apprehensible way. Award winning design, great agility and manuverability, and very high fuel eficiency are only few of this car's qualities.

bmw hybrid car

BMW has tackled many problems in the past, but this one is, by far, most controversial one - Performance Hybrid. As anyone can imagine, hybrid is something that was meant to preserve fuel and to handle fuel eficiency problems, C02 emissions etc. But BMW is not the only one in this confusing part of auto-industry. Many of car producers have their share in this. The idea which producers have adopted is to take a big SUV with very poor fuel eficiency, make it even heavier by adding a electic motor and a battery, and try to save on fuel by shutting the main engine when possible.

New BMW's X6 managed exactly that. It is using batteries as long as possible and whenever possible, making that 4.4l 400 HP twin turbocharged V8 engine consume almost less fuel than possible. With power plant like this, BMW also managed to create the most powerful hybrid there is. Being all that, X6 ActiveHybrid is lot more agile than you might expect. This is mainly due to torque vectoring rear differential that applies more power to outer wheel when cornering. This strange device makes car to make otherwise impossible turns. This is most appreciated when parking and navigatin in tight spaces.

The other features are quite a standard for Hybrids, except for the fact that X6 actually manages not to start the main engine at any pressure applied to the throttle. It runs consistently on batteries, and accelerates without starting that V8. All in all, this is a nice car to drive, and the excess weight by the Hybrid stuff hasn't make this car slower. It is even nicer to see that car manufacturers are doing something to preserve our planet and save some fuel, even if it means that this car is still burning more fuel per mile than most smaller cars.

bmw superbike

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, or more common BMW started its motorcycle career in 1923 by producing its first motorcycle – R32. These were BMW's pioneer steps into the world of motorcycle industry and the innovation they deployed was something BMW is practicing ever since. R32 was, and still is, powered by 486 cc engine that produced 8.5 HP, and it was able tu push old R32 to speeds over 60 mph. Their first innovation was oil system that recirculates oil rather than losing it.
Supercharged R32 with 500cc motor set the world speed record at almost 174 mph which remain untouched for the next 14 years.

The next big success in motorcycle career BMW had when delivered their R75 to the German army. It outperformed all other motorcycles during African campaign. R75's flat boxter motor was more resistant to african heat, and shaft drive was not affected by harsh conditions of desert taht was killing belt and chain driven motors. Another success came when BMW was introduced to America. In 1959 R69 managed to come from NY to LA in a little more than 53 hours which is more than a day shorter than a previous record set by a Harley-Davidson.

In 1970 BMW introduced electrical starting system on all members of /5 series, but kick starter was not discontinued for another 4 years. As we come closer to the modern days the story of BMW motorcycles becomes more familiar, and it covers upgrades like ABS for motorcycles, double disc front brakes, new four cylinder engines and a lot more. In 1994 F650 and later F800 series were chain or belt driven motorcycles. Only shortly after WWII BMW motorcycle production experienced its dark ages, and since this period come to an end BMW is improving, making their motorcycles more agile, more powerful and more elegant with every new generation.

bugatti 57sc

An icon of classic cars, and probably the most beautiful car ever produced. It was designed by Jean Bugatti. Jean was son of Ettore, the founder of Bugatti. Jean designed the body for this beautiful car, and modified 3257 cc from Type 49 heavily, to create a perfect harmony of power and elegance. Through its period of production (1934 – 1940) the car was built in many different versions, but there very only two basic variants: the original Bugatti 57, and lowered Bugatty 57S. Those were the platforms out of which the champions were built. Type 57C Tank swept away its competition in 1936 and 1937, winning the French Grand Prix, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. It used larger, 4743cc, engine that left others in dust. Later on, there was a Tank version of 57SC that took another Le Mans, but this story ended tragically. Jean took the car that won the race to a test drive and died when he crushed trying to avoid drunken bicyclist on a closed road.

A total of 710 original Bugatti 57 were produced and it was more than enough to get this car a spot in history. It's popularity grew day by day, and now it is known as most expensive car bought on auction, and as a most expensive used car ever bought.
Proud owners of this oldies can now enjoy driving a car that is more than seventy years old and still is capable of going more than 100 mph. That is a feat that is hard to match for many cars that are fifty years younger than this beauty. And the smile that it puts on everyone's face is just priceless. Jean did his part in creating a history, and now it is our time to preserve that legacy he gave us to enjoy. Thank you Jean, and rest in peace!

bmw m6

If you are looking for good and practical use of a sportscar you'll probably check BMW first. And what better example should one need apart from BMW's flagship in coupe performance class – M6?

It was not completely designed as a sporstcar, but it packs a lot of punch. The latest version of M6 has V10 engine that delivers 500 HP and 383 pound-feet of torque. Combined with seven speed sequential manual gearbox or classical 6 speed manual, the car acceleration is just fantastic. Performace is the key factor for this car, and it has been outfitted with powerful brakes, and smart suspension system. This means that this car can stand next to almost every sporstcar out there and still feel comfortable about it. It has a three predefined sets of parameters for performance that will use the best qualities of this car. And all this sporty things do not come complicated at all. Predefined settings are just one push of a button away from being chosen.

Given the facts about performance of this car, one would expect that this car lacks luxury, but that expectation is not to be met. It offers all the luxury you would expect from a premier coupe or convertible. Space for back seat seems to be only luxury it lacks, but that is something we're all used to as far as coupes are concerned. Front seats are opposite of that. Plenty of room around for those lucky enough to drive one. That feeling of a wind blowing through you hair, and morning sun that shines its warm light upon your face while you are listening to that powerful V10 in front of you is just something an average guy dreams about, and if that guy is lucky enoug, he might dream that he's in driver seat and that he plays with big boys' toys...

mercedes brabus

If you want unmatched performance, have a very, very deep pocket and you are in love with Merc you will, definetly, want to visit Brabus. Cars that come out of this shop are something else. To compare a car before and after entering this shop would be like comparing rusty van to a Formula One race car.

Brabus was founded in 1977 in Bottrop, Germany. It is a tuning company that specializes in tuning high-end Mercedes cars. Getting the most out of any engine is what this guys to best, and they're best in this business. But they do not stop there. If a costumer asks for a complete overhaul that is what costumer will get. This means that the car will be a lot different. You'll probably notice a low profile spoilers, fancy and extreme new alloy wheels etc. And that is just a begining. This company orders AMG motors and redesigns them so they produce more HP and more torque, and AMG is well known for their good work in this field. I do not know if it is a German need for perfection or it is something else, but this company will provide you a perfect vehicle. Whether they take a, relatively small, K4 blocks of SLK Roadster or absulotely huge 730 HP twin turbo blocks of CL-class, this company will achieve their goal in making their customers very fast and very happy.
Brabus also made their share of supercars. Limited edition of their favorites: Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Smart can be seen on the road and in the garage's of few lucky guys out there.

So, if you someone in your rear-view mirror coming in fast you can be certain that it's not Brabus tuned car. If it was Brabus, it would be already in front of you. I wish you safe journey!
