The BMW M6 G-Power

The BMW M6 is the „alpha leader“ amongst the BMW product range. Fast, expensive and good-looking. The only attribute that the BMW M6 can not fulfil is exclusiveness. G-POWER can help you to correct this flaw. The G-POWER products for the BMW M6 sharpen its characteristics and turn it into a true one-of-a-kind, just like our customers are.

Maserati 4200 Coupe

When you have a 400bhp Maserati V8, it’s quite nice to be able to hear it. And I can certainly hear the engine where I am right now, standing at the edge of a road that winds through verdant, soft-contoured Italian hills spangled with the kind of terracotta shoppertunities that have we Brits rushing for a second mortgage. I’ve taken station on the inside of a tight hairpin at which a Maserati will shortly be launched for the camera, and though the squeal of tyres is pleasing, it’s nothing to the thrill of that V8 exhausting itself on the over-run, gusts of spent gas spitting and gurgling through a quartet of tail-pipes. Hairpin speared, the pearlescent white coupé plunges toward the valley below, its V8 drumbeat rousing a dog on a distant farm as the engine’s staccato pulses ricochet off the landscape. It sounds absolutely magnificent. And I don’t mean the dog.

The All-New 2009 Honda Insight Hybrid

The all-new 2009 Honda Insight hybrid will make its world debut in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The five-passenger, five-door Insight will go on sale in the spring of 2009. The Insight is expected to have annual global sales of 200,000 units per year - approximately 100,000 in North America - and will utilize a new interactive, driver-focused fuel economy enhancement technology named the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assist™). A leader in the development of cleaner, more fuel-efficient mobility products, Honda introduced to market the first mass produced low-emission gasoline vehicles; America's first commercially produced gas-electric hybrid car and the world's first EPA-certified hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX. In 2007, Honda was named "greenest automaker" by the Union of Concerned Scientists for the fourth straight time.

The McLaren F1

You’re about to read a watershed road test: not simply because it’s of the fastest road car in history, but, in all likelihood, it’ll remain the fastest road test ever. Until we strapped our equipment onto the McLaren F1 no one knew how fast it was. Now we do, because we’ve driven it beyond 200mph, and timed it to the last hundredth of a second. And here it stops: McLaren will never release another of its amazing £540,000 supercars for road testing to anyone, anywhere in the world.

The Mazda RX-8

Rotary-engined coupés have featured in Mazda’s product line-up on and off for nearly 40 years. The first, the strangely styled Cosmo 110S, is little known in the UK, but something of a cult car in Japan. The original 1978 RX-7 is the best-known rotary Mazda. A rival for the contemporary Porsche 924, the coupé proved a massive hit particularly in the USA, despite premature engine wear and high fuel consumption. Two further generations of RX-7 followed, the last of which sold in tiny numbers and bowed out of British showrooms in 1997.

The Lexus SC430

Proof that Lexus currently has more to offer the American market than it does Europe comes no stronger than an examination of the SC430 coupé-cabriolet. I’ve seen them swish past in both Bromsgrove and Beverly Hills and I think it’s fairly obvious where the SC’s Pullman-carriage styling works best. Likewise, Lexus’ range-topper has always felt out of sorts on UK roads, with a lumpy ride – corrupted further with standard run-flat tyres – and clumsy road holding. Californian boulevards seem to be its natural cruising ground.

Lamborghini Gallardo SE

Take one Gallardo, boost the power to 520bhp and then sharpen the steering, stiffen the suspension and reduce the gearing. Next fit a set of Pirelli P-zero Corsa tyres on new ‘Callisto’ rims. In other words, tune the Gallardo up for maximum attack. Then serve at a suitably roasting temperature, complemented with styling revisions around the air intakes and a cool black roof section. Limit to 250 units worldwide. Et voila, you have the Lamborghini Gallardo SE.
