"Now you realize that BMW's in-house performance shop got it right. Big-time right. The 2008 BMW M3 is more than you expect." @ LinkMais Info @ Link Link Link--"This is an exceptionally able car that's blessed with a superbly executed engine, but there can be no denying that some of the guttural appeal of the old car has been lost. Or at least the guttural appeal of the fully optioned M3 that enthusiasts remember. The 2008 BMW M3 might have the grunt to challenge the Porsche 911, but it doesn't quite have the finesse or the emotive appeal. Indeed, you end up wondering whether it's worth paying such a premium over the brilliant BMW 335i coupe." @ Link--"It's quick and precise; beautifully balanced and brilliantly responsive; deeply confident and inspiringly competent when you ask it the big questions. Yep, the new BMW M3 is everything the BMW faithful have been waiting for -- and then some. But ironically, it's the "then some" bit that might have a few of those faithful scratching their heads." @ Link
"This version of the MINI uses Hybrid Tech's own proprietary advanced lithium management and battery-balancing system to propel the car." @ LinkAcho que deviam e ter feito bem melhor, o conhecedor do Mini espera sempre algo à frente da concorrência ou diferente e este Mini eléctrico fica bem atrás de propostas já apresentadas por outras marcas, que oferecem por exemplo autonomias na ordem dos 400-500Km. O Chassis usado neste modelo é exactamente igual ao actual, já que são fabricados na mesma fábrica no Reino Unido e só depois são encaminhados para a fábrica que lhes colocará a parte eléctrica.
"In Japan, there are so many possibilities of modification and customization offered to any Nissan "350Z" owner that it would almost feel "strange" to come across a 100% stock version!" @ Link
"One of the aspects that is so amazing about his run (besides getting his tires over the edge above mile-deep sheer drops) is that two years prior, Michèle Mouton had won the hill climb in an Audi. The next year, Bobby Unser won again in another Audi and did so while setting the course record with a run of 11:09:22 minutes. On July 11, 1987, Walter Röhrl again piloted an Audi quattro to victory up Pike's Peak, and again set a course record. This time of 10:47:85 shattered Unser's year-old record by nearly 22 seconds and beat the second place Peugeot T16 by almost 7." @ LinkFiquem com a galeria de imagens e com os vídeos.

"As well as a strong power output, the Merc has been engineered for what it calls a ‘designer’ exhaust note - it's been tuned to be pleasing to the ear. The company conducted customer clinics with audiophiles to get the exhaust note just right, so we can't wait to hear if the 6.3 V8 is as pitch-perfect as they claim." @ Link
