LA Preview: Saab Celebrates 25 Years with a Special Edition 9-3 Convertible

saab_93_25th_ann.jpg
Yesterday it was reported that GM has canceled all of its press events and major intros at the LA Auto Show, which leaves the automaker with very little to show off. Since there isn't much to show, Saab is going to quietly debut its 25th anniversary edition of the 9-3 convertible.

The 2nd limited edition 9-3 convertible is available in three colors, Jet Black, Carbon Grey, and Bright Champagne. It's powered by a 210 horsepower 2.0L engine that can be mated to either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission.

The anniversary 9-3 convertible will be in showrooms in January 2009 with a starting price of $46,725.

Modified Smart Fortwo - Brabus Ultimate 112 Photos



modified smart fortwo brabus ultimate 112

Even though the german tuning company Brabus is well known for modifying super cars they decided to make a new tuning project based on the lovely mini car: Smart Fortwo. They decided to go for an orange color theme and the car looks more serious now. Probably the most important modification was installing a new wide body kit that makes the car look a lot more agressive.

The Smart badges were replaced with Brabus badgets and the car has stylish LED illumination. Since the guys from Brabus love to modify every aspect of a car they decided to improve this Smart’s performances a lot. They installed a 1L engine that can develop 110 HP which is incredible for a small sized car. This improvement will boost this car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.5 seconds and the top speed is limited to 170 km/h. The car’s interior is colored in orange and black and you’ve got racing pedals, shift knob and sport steering wheel that will make you feel like a race driver. The car was also designed with exclusive 18″ Brabus Monoblock VI rims and this supreme Smart will cost around 46,000 euro.

LAS VEGAS Lamborghini receives #1 of 20 REVENTON

Can you imagine taking delivery of a Lamborghini Reventon (Photos) #1 of 20?? I guess the box was a little big to be delivered to Lamborghini of Las Vegas wrapped with a box and stuffed under a tree and delivered by Santa Claus himself, but I guess the guy operating the delivery truck and crane can be argued to be as jolly as the man himself.

This is the FIRST and ONLY Lamborghini Reventon (Pics) available for private sale. All the rest have been pre-sold for a hefty price ($1.4 Million USD).








Expect this REVENTON #1 of 20 to go for just north of $1.5 Million USD if not more!

Mercedes Gullwing Spy Photos

We have seen a fair amount of spy photos of Mercedes’ upcoming new super car, dating back to August 2007 in the US desert. Rumours about the car are various, ranging from plausible (Mercedes-Benz SLR replacement) to wild speculations (Maybach Coupe). Today we show you pictures of then new Gullwing undergoing some handling test at Germany’s famous Nurburgring.




In July 2007 a press release was issued by Mercedes stating that their co-operation with McLaren would come to an end in regards to developing a SLR follow-up model and that Mercedes would keep the development internal. In-house performance branch AMG was appointed with the task, who in turn contracted HWA Racing (Mercedes’ DTM partner) to produce the car.

The SLC prototypes may be using Dodge Viper body panels, but rest assured that the similarities end there. The prototype uses a 106-inch long wheelbase, which happens to closely match the SLR’s wheelbase and in the process debunks any rumours about a smaller SLR based on the R230 SL-Class platform. The new Mercedes turning into a mid-engined car seems very distant now too.

What the car will be called is uncertain, just like which engine will be powering the car. So far we have been calling it the Mercedes Gullwing or SLC while the 500hp 6.2 liter AMG V8 seems a likely candidate to become its engine. But only time will tell, until then just enjoy the photos and dream away…
