If you are looking for bold styling, sophistication, and performance in a small coupe then the Audi TT
is a strong candidate. In the world or Porsche Boxters, BMW Z4′s, and Benz SLK’s the Audi TT takes on a totally different look, while still managing to be quite cool.
The Audi TT’s MSRP ranges between roughly 35,000 to $46,000 for a top of the line model. It comes in the coupe or roadster body style. With its upscale interior, the TT comes in all wheel drive, with a smooth sequential shift manual transmission found in most of today’s modern sports cars. The Audi TT is totally redesigned from the ground up for 2008. The TT has a new four cylinder engine. It also has been designed with extensive use of aluminum to reduced the curb weight in comparison with previous models of the car.
Just like previous incarnations of the vehicle, the TT relies on a turbocharged four cylinder or a naturally aspirated V6. The four cylinder is a new design by the six cylinder was carried over from the older models. With an all new suspension as well as electronic assisted steering the handling of the new TT should be a noted improvement over older models. In a Porsche-esque manner the rear spoiler rises at highway speeds on the new TT. The TT’s interior still has a 2+2 design. It really should be a 2+ throw your jacked or your bag in the backseat because no real human could fit.

Video game lovers got their first taste of Mercedes’ sporty venture in the late 1990s with the then mere concept McLaren in the game Need for Speed. It wasn’t long until McLaren Automotive, working with Mercedes, released the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in 2003.
From the start, this supercar turned heads with its impressive outer design and inner powerhouse
components. The SLR (Sport, Light, Racing) was built at a rate of 500 per year for the 6 years it was in production. No matter if it’s the newest model off the lines or one of the oldest, this supercar can fly past the competition with ease.
The outside of the McLaren is incredibly futuristic, to say the least. On the inside, with the help of an onboard computer, the car is basically alive – with the ability to adjust its own spoiler height and angle of elevation.
The SLR is surprisingly fuel efficient for a supercar, though it weighs more than others in the class like the Lamborghini. The McLaren receives 16 miles per gallon, which might not seem like a lot but still, it’s good compared to the competition.
The car’s performance is helped along with a lightweight carbon-fiber body and a classic, aerodynamic racing design. The exterior of the car is beautiful, featuring a fully retractable soft top, gull-wing doors, and large chrome exhaust side-pipes. Critics consistently rank the SLR high because of the power it’s able to put out for a car that could sell on looks alone. Read the rest of this entry »
