New vehicles for 2008 BMW
2007-09-30 01:24:00
BMW began selling its revised-for-2008 5-Series cars earlier this year, and the German automaker changed the name of its six-cylinder-powered, mid-size 5-Series cars to reflect larger, more powerful engines. Thus, the 525i became the 2008 528i, now with 230-horsepower,3-liter, six-cylinder engine, while the old 530i became the 2008535i with 300-horsepower, 3-liter, twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine.In fact, the addition of this twin-turbo power plant to the 2008BMW 535xi Sports Wagon makes it more powerful than the predecessor540i wagon with 290-horsepower V-8. BMW also updated the interiors of these sedans and wagons and adds optional Lane Departure Warning that subtly vibrates the steering wheel when it detects a driver might be wandering out of his or her lane. The smaller, but oh-so-performance-oriented M3 debuts in 2008 with its first-ever V-8, generating 414 horses from its 4 liters. Watch next spring for the launch of BMW's subcompact 1-Series, finally in the States. Initial m...

New vehicles for 2008 ASTON MARTIN
2007-09-30 01:21:00
Sold off by Ford in March for nearly $1 billion (and now owned by private investors including Kuwaitis) ultra-luxury carmaker Aston Martin launches the DBS for 2008 . The sleek, lightweight, two-passenger coupe promises to be the quickest Aston Martin production car ever with a 0-to-60-mph time around a mere 4.3 seconds. The DBS chassis is weight-saving aluminum, and power comes from a 510-horsepower, 6-liter V-12 with quad overhead cam shafts. Top speed is 191 mph. Only some 300 DBS cars will be built annually in Great Britain, so the DBS will be a most exclusive ride. The starting price tag is expected to be around $265,000. Meantime, Aston's long-running Vanquish is ending production, and Aston fans are waiting for the coming launch of the four-door Rapide.
