Ferrari Enzo

The Enzo is an ultra-exotic supercar named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. Capable of 225 mph, the Ferrari Enzo makes uses of a 6.0-liter V12 producing 651 hp at 7800 rpm. 0-60 mph takes just 3.3 seconds.Originally priced at just under $650,000, Enzos typically go for close to $1,000,000. A total of 400 units were produced, between 2003 and 2004. The Ferrari FXX was built as a successor to the Enzo, though it is not intended for road use. The Enzo follows a long line of extreme-performance supercars from Ferrari. It followed the F50 of the 1990s, and F40 of the 1980s. The Enzo is sometimes referred to as F60, but this is inaccurate.

2008 BMW 6-series (650i) Coupe, Convertible Launched

For the 2008 model year, BMW has made a number of changes to its 6-Series coupe in the form of a mid-cycle facelift. Engine choices remain the same, with the 360 horsepower BMW 650i being the only model offered in the United States. The 650i comes in both convertible and coupe guise. The updated grand tourer now features active headrests, which provide protection against whiplash. BMW has also added LED front turn signals and replaced all taillights and tail turn signals with LED units. As is typical for a mid-cycle update, the 2008 model has updated rear and front aprons. On both the Coupe and Convertible, the additional brake light is now integrated in the spoiler lip. A variety of new wheels designs and interior colors/materials are available.

2007 BMW X5

BMW today official unveiled the 2007 BMW X5. Power comes from either a 4.8-liter V8 capable of 350 horsepower or a 3.0-liter inline-six with 260 horsepower. The new BMW X5 is 7.4 inches longer than its predecessor, with much of that increased sizing benefiting cabin space. The new BMW X5 boasts a double wishbone front suspension, which is noteworthy for this type of vehicle. This optimizes tire contact on the road and makes the new X5 capable of reaching impressively high cornering forces. The IV rear suspension also helps to give the new BMW X5 strong potential on the road. The new rack-and-pinion steering with a variable transmission ratio geared to the steering angle allows the truck to meet a variety of driving conditions. The new X5 is also offered with the option of BMW's speed-senstiive Active Steering — a technology available on many BMW sedans and coupes, but never before offered on an SUV. An updated xDrive system provides full-time all-wheel-drive with a 60/40 rear/front split. Runflat tires are now standard. Gallery and more details after the jump…

BMW "Clever" Concept

For the last few years, BMW and University of Bath have been hard at work on the BMW CLEVERCONCEPT— acompact fuel-efficient vehicle for city driving. Somewhat overshadowed this week by the launch of the 2007 3-Series Coupe, BMW on Friday released the first images of the completed CLEVER. As the name — Compact Low Emission Vehicle for Urban Transport — suggests, the aim of the project was to create a vehicle that was practical, safe, and environmentally-friendly. Unlike the Volkswagen GX3 Concept — with one rear wheel and two front wheels — the CLEVER has two rear wheels and one front. If it ever makes it to production, the vehicle is expected to cost around $10,000 and would have a top speed of 50 mph. One fascinating aspect of the vehicle is its unique tilting design for stable, motorcycle-like cornering.
