Some More Car News

Want to drive some supercars? The founder of Supercar Life charges more than the jolly old elf, but how many Decembers have passed without a Ferrari or Lamborghini in your garage, or better, the racetrack? Otto charges $5,000 to put more than 2,500 hp and five supercars (Ferrari F430, Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 Turbo, Aston Martin DB9) at your disposal--that's about $2 per horse. Or, as software developer and SCCA racer Jim Rueff explained his logic for attending, "You get to drive all these cars for much less

The last time Audi introduced an all-new A4 was at the 2001 Frankfort auto show. As before, the 2009 model is new from the ground up, with new styling that emphasizes its width and length, and low roofline. The popular import is 2.1” longer and has a greater, more stable track (distance between wheels) that has grown by 1.8”.
Its low, wide design shapes emphasize this width. Look at how the headlamps and fog lamps are broad and narrow. That makes us think wider. Everything on the front is both substantial, and appears wide. The rear end, connected by what Audi calls a “tornado line” between the headlamp and tail lamp, is also subtly pinched to appear wider. Side views show an upswept character line near the doorsills that looks fast and improves body strength.

Several of my teammates have discussed various aspects of the Chevrolet Fuel Cell electric-powered Equinox so far; its importance as a research tool, how it performs, how to refuel it. We've enjoyed having it in our midst (and in our mitts) for the last week, and it still has another yet to go. Another interesting aspect of GM's overall Fuel Cell Electric program is called Project Driveway. In other words, putting the technology to the test in public hands.
