Thought I'd make a thread about it, so heres some of the stuff being/been unveild for the show or early. Detroit 2009: Jaguar unleashes 2010 XKR, this kitty has claws by Jeremy Korzeniewski on Jan 10th, 2009 at 8:09PM Performance and efficiency. These are the two cardinal attributes that all car designers are aiming for these days, and Jaguar is no different. For the last few years, the automaker's latest XK has relied heavily on its riveted and bonded aluminum-intensive architecture to achieve low weight, which is the first necessity for sporting credentials. For 2010, Jaguar is taking that successful formula and adding lots more power via an enlarged version of its AJ V8 engine. Direct injection, variable valve timing and a variable-geometry intake manifold all conspire to increase power to 510 hp while also having the desirable effect of improving fuel efficiency. Of course, an impressive engine is only a small part of the overall desirability of a new car, and Jaguar claims to have given its XK line, available in both a Portfolio model and uplevel R-model for the 2010 model year, a thorough freshening. So, what are they on about? Plenty, it seems. Keep reading Detroit 2009: Mercedes-Benz unveils McLaren SLR Stirling Moss early by Sam Abuelsamid on Jan 10th, 2009 at 10:59PM At an event ahead of tomorrow's Detroit Auto Show kick-off, Mercedes-Benz showed off the new Mclaren SLR Stirling Moss to a select group of journos. The company is only offering 75 roadsters to current SLR owners to close out the supercar's tenure, so when these windscreen-free, 650 hp monsters are gone, that's it for the SLR. It must be a rush exploring the SLR's supercharged 5.5-liter V8 and 217 mph top speed with your head out in the open. Goofy old man and silly aviator eye-protectors sold seperately. 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class revealed ahead of Geneva by Damon Lavrinc on Jan 10th, 2009 at 10:30PM After various reports and some leaked images, M-B took the wraps off the the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class at a private event in Detroit. While the new E won't make its public debut until March at the Geneva Motor Show, we were on hand in Motown to get the details straight from the company that Karl Benz built. We've said plenty about the E's new conservative sheetmetal and exterior elements, including the ConceptFASCINATIO-inspired front-end and sedate, uninspired rump. Depending on spec, the new E-class will feature either twin foglamps or angular LEDs, trapezoidal or oval exhaust tips and a host of wheel options. The overall length has been stretched by half an inch to just under 16 feet, while the width has grown by 1.26 inches, the wheelbase is up 0.8-inches and height is half-an-inch taller than the outgoing model. Torsional rigidity is up by 30% and the new E is more aerodynamic, along with packing 11 standard airbags. The 2010 model shows considerable promise inside, with an interior that evolves the C-class and GLK's angular aesthetic and attempts to bring more of that bomb-proof feel that Benz was known for in the past. The transmission selector can be had on either the console or the steering column, ala S-class, with the COMAND controller placed on the center divider and some of the seat controls moving to the sides, next to the transmission tunnel. The new E features enough gadgetry to sooth even the most weary CES attendee, beginning with a new standard system called Attention Assist that keeps track of steering angle and alerts the driver if they're getting drowsy with an audible alert and a coffee-cup icon on the dash. Lane departure warning is optional, along with adaptive high-beam headlights that dim when oncoming traffic is approaching, radar-based cruised control, blind-spot monitoring and infrared night vision. When the 2010 E-class goes on sale this summer, buyers can choose from either a direct-injected, 292-hp 3.5-liter V6 (E350) or a 388-hp 5.5-liter V8 (E500), both mated to a standard seven-speed automatic gearbox. 4MATIC models will arrive later, along with the E63 variant, and the 211 hp, 3.0-liter Bluetech diesel variant with urea injection is slated to go on sale at the end of the year. Detroit 2009: Volkswagen Bluesport concept, turbodiesel done right by Damon Lavrinc on Jan 11th, 2009 at 2:44AM The term "diesel performance" is an oxymoron to the majority of the public, but if the Volkswagen Bluesport makes it to production, these two diametrically-opposed words could have new meaning. Later today at the Detroit Auto Show, Volkswagen will take the wraps off the Bluesport concept, a two-door roadster packing a mid-mounted 2.0-liter turbodiesel four putting out 180 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. With around 2,600 pounds to motivate the Bluesport, VW estimates a run from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds, a top speed of 140 and, just as importantly, 35 mpg on the European cycle. The power from the mid-mounted diesel will be sent to a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox mounted closer to the front of the car and resulting in a 45:55 front-to-rear weight distribution. The overall length is just over 13 feet, with a wheelbase of 96 inches, a front track 58.5 inches and a rear track of 60 inches. Two storage areas – one frunk and another mounted behind the engine – result in 182 liters of cargo area. It's a compelling package that we're looking forward to scooping out in person. Check back this afternoon for more. Detroit 2009: Dodge Circuit EV, now with cross-hairs by Sam Abuelsamid on Jan 11th, 2009 at 12:01AM In spite of the large Dodge EV branding that was on this car when it first appeared last fall, it was obvious to all that it was simply a Lotus Europa. In spite of Chrysler's seemingly inexorable drive to insolvency in recent months, the engineers and designers in Auburn Hills have continued to try make the best use of the time they have left with a paycheck. The electric sports car now known as the Circuit EV has been the beneficiary of cross-hair nose job that is actually an improvement over the Lotus original. The tail has also been revamped and the plug socket has moved from the passenger side to the driver's side flank. The specs haven't changed so the Circuit is still a bit slower than a Tesla Roadster with a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds. The range is also estimated at 150-200 miles. It's anyone's guess what the real world range would be though since no one outside Chrysler or Lotus has thoroughly tested the Circuit yet. The other guess is whether Chrysler LLC will be around long enough to actually sell the Circuit to customers. Maybe we should start a pool to see which company will hold longer, Chrysler or Tesla?

Nice car Fank, looks good. :) Maple just because one person has made a skyline mod doesn't mean someone else can't as everyones tuned skyline is different ;)

There is already a request thread for the Diablo here, remember the search function is your friend ;) Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it here

Theres already alot about this car in the Paris Motor show thread as this is when it was unveiled. As for whether it will be made I remember reading there will be a very limited run, can't remember where i read it though

Happy Birthday Andreaz, hope you have a good one

I know this is the winners thread and not really meant for commenting but some very good photo's, think I need to take more notice of theses threads than I have been as there are some exceptional photographers on the forum

I can't see how this has become a 'Vette vs Skyline battle. Both are sportscars in their own right but they are in different leagues (by this i dont mean one is worse or better than the other) and appeal to different markets/people.

Heard this today. Ronaldo has been complaining to the police today, as the wall he hit wasn't ten yards back

Its because the update has broke the forum add ons we had, so now diablo has to re-install/implement them when he has free time. If you look at the bottom of the front page your'll see an options box where you can choose industrial (the new version in the process of being fixed), industrial_previous (the old one the update broke) and v1 which was the original skin of the forum. Edit: Beat by Diablo and Mellors

Well atm, its the bush administration and Obama wont comment as he don't want mixed messages coming from the country. This is probably why they didn't vote at the UN as Obama takes office in a couple of weeks. Pherelas your sig is a tad oversized btw ;) good choice of band though

Shy the R390 iirc started as a racecar so it is not a supercar. Can't see how the Veyron is a GT when all GT's have boot space and the Veyron doesn't have alot. Also 99%+ GT's are front engined.

Basically, the UN has spoke and no one has listened. It has been said Hamas are supported by Iran and Isreal are backed by America which if either side get involved so will the other which is very bad.

This is being develop alot now I read somewhere that tey can charge a range of devices via lasrs, so it beams the laser to the charging station and then when it hits the heat is converted into electricity to charge it. Hope it dont develop to quickly or I'll be looking for a new job.

Update Unofficial details emerge on Lamborghini LP670-4 SV by Frank Filipponio on Jan 7th, 2009 at 2:27PM Recently, we told you that Lamborghini is rumored to be working on a couple of rear-drive-only models to entice the most enthusiastic of enthusiasts. One of those models was supposed to be a lightweight version of the V12 Murcielago, possibly dubbed the SV. According to recent reports, the SV is on the way, but that it will most likely retain the LP640's AWD. A Ferrarichat forum member named Vik (screename ghost) says he's seen the car, which will be called the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV. According to Vik, the car will weigh 220 lbs. less than the LP640-4 and will have an extra 30 hp. That should produce a 0-60 run of just 3.2 seconds and a bump in top speed of two mph to 213. Vik says the look of the car is more aggressive, with a more angular front fascia, hood vents near the A-pillars, gloss-black wheels, large rear bumper protrusions, and a choice of two rear wings. The standard model will feature a smaller wing that allows the LP640-4 to reach a higher 342 km/h top speed, while the larger wing presumably trades a few mph for more downforce. The exterior will feature a lot of carbon fiber, with the whole lower body being comprised of matte-black CF to offset by the upper body's gloss black paint. A big "SV" vinyl will be an option, but carbon ceramic brakes are standard. Prices are being set at 25% above the standard LP640, with an officially announcement in March and deliveries beginning in June. Vik says 350 units are planned, but speculation is that the actual number will be 100, with 350 being the total number of all versions of the Murci worldwide.

Bit off topic and bringing up an old threead. But on topic I read that they are still looking for a buyer and that they are looking to pen a deal with Ferrari for engines.

Cool, I know with my CD/DVD drive it has lightscribe and can put designs on the actual CD, which is cool, never used it though

I sort of do the same RB, I buy singles and od songs from itunes but albums I still buy a CD or best of's or compilations. I like to have the real thing, physical object rather than a file.

They've found the "missing" blade then. It said in my daily red top that it was gone and could not be found

Apparently the one of the wheels was 200yrds down the road, and Edwin Van Der Sar was following him in his Bentley. Manucho was in the car with Ronaldo

I personally wouldnt call TVR a supercar, as good as they are they are sportscars, not supercars, imo
