BMW
The New Class was a series of coupes and compact sedans beginning with the 1500 in year 1962 and going on through the final 2002s in the year 1977. Powered by the 4-cyl M10 engine, which is BMW’s pride, the New Class vehicles featured an entirely self-regulating suspension, front disc brakes, and MacPherson struts in the front. Originally, a group of 2-door coupes and 4-door sedans, the New Class series was widened to 2-door sports sedan when they added the 02 Series 2002 and 1600 in year 1966.
The year is just in its first quarter but BMW has already unveiled another driving machine for the future, the 2013 BMW M6.
The BMW M6 is available in coupe and convertible which is good news for BMW enthusiasts who always want to have these options.
Exterior
The M6 Coupe and Convertible feature exquisitely dynamic lines that impose a sense of athleticism innate in the M series. The body design accurately displays the power that the car can deliver.
The M6 Convertible uses a supreme-quality soft top that is constructed using the distinctive "fin" architecture. The M6 Coupe comes with an astonishingly contoured carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) roof.
Performance
Its performance is attributed to its 4.4 L V8 engine that comes with the M Twin Power Turbo technology and these added features:
• High Precision Direct Petrol Injection
• Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology
• VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control
• Cross-bank exhaust manifold
• Twin Scroll Twin Turbo Technology

All in all, the improved M6 engine provides an engine output that is 10% higher and a maximum torque that is 30% higher than its forerunner.
The 2013 M6 features 7-speed Drivelogic-equipped Double Clutch Transmission, Low Speed Assistance, optimized launch control, and automatic gear selection. The Active M differentials transfer power to the rear wheels for optimum traction delivery. This way, the driver is guaranteed directional stability during acceleration from corners and lane switching.
Aside from handling precision, the M6 delivers optimum stopping power. It is made possible with the 400 mm front, and 396mm rear carbon-ceramic disc brakes.

Bugatti
The Bugatti Company is a producer of high quality vehicles. It was founded by Ettore Bugatti, who is as Italian refugee depicted as an odd genius in Molsheim, France. The original corporation is celebrated for manufacturing a number of the most elite automobiles in the world, as well as a numbers of the quickest.
Bugatti’s original brand name did not succeed with the coming of the Second World War, like a lot of high-end marques at the time. Another contributing factor is the death of Ettore Bugatti’s sone, Jean. The business struggled monetarily, and launched one final model in the 50s, prior to being bought eventually for its aircraft parts trade in the 60s. At present, the name is possessed by the Volkswagen Group, who has restored it as an engineer of limited manufacture elite sports cars.
The cars of Bugatti were as much considered as works of art as they were naturally mechanical productions.

The Veyron Grand Sport features a catchy yellow and black theme for its exterior. This edition of the Grand Sport is the last of the Veyron’s to be built.
Exterior & Interior
The man behind Bugatti, Ettore Bugatti has always experimented with different color schemes and materials for his extreme cars. He has always preferred painting his cars in two color combinations. The Veyron Grand Sport is no exception and is colored in yellow and black. This interesting combination of yellow and black color is said to be one his all time favorite.
The two colors are split horizontally, with bright yellow covering the top part of the car with black carbon underneath it. The yellow and black theme is not only limited to exteriors, but also runs into the interiors with seats finished in yellow leather and black stitching.
The central console is colored in carbon black. The dashboard, gearshift and steering wheels are covered with black leather and yellow stitching.
Performance
Veyron Grand Sport's internal largely remains the same. The car is powered by the quad-turbocharged 8-litre W-16 engine which churns out whopping 1001-horsepower. The car can do 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds.
Limited
The Veyron Grand Sport model would cost $2.05 million, which is more than 10% premium over the out of production original Veyron. The incremental changes are only cosmetic but the one planning to buy this car won't complain about the difference in price.
It's a limited edition and the company has decided to produce only 150 units of Grand Sport out of which nearly 2/3 slots are still available.

Caterham
On the 5th of November 2008, Caterham proclaimed a joint venture with the Project Spiltwheel, which is an online enterprise that uses crowd-sourcing techniques in order to create a new Caterham-quality vehicle with the contribution of car enthusiasts and owners. This model might potentially start manufacture by the year 2011.
Caterham cars are built of aluminium sheet affixed to a tube steel chassis. Wings and nosecone are either carbon fibre or GRP depending on the specifications. All Caterham 7 cars have front engines with 2 seats and a rear wheel drive. Their exceptionally high quality is attained via light weight rather than chiefly powerful engines.
2011 Caterham Seven Supersport
Every now and then a car such as the 2011 Caterham Seven Supersport will blow the doors off cars costing twice or even thrice, or even 4 times what you paid for this one.
While it true that the Caterham does not even have a windscreen or air-conditioning, you will not need it.
Country Driving
A Caterham is a driver’s car; not some car that people take to the track in a trailer and pack it up afterwards back into the trailer. This one is a true road and track car. Yes, it does not have air-conditioning or power steering, or even a roof. But what it lacks in amenities it makes up for in sheer track attitude. Powered by a 140hp 1.6 liter Ford engine and weighing in at a paltry 1146 lbs, the Caterham Seven Super Sport was tuned for those who like to take to the track, and drive it back home again without having the need to have it pulled in a trailer.
Assembly Required
It is an open top car and it comes with Avon CR500 tires on 13 inch wheels. And no, it does not have an option for a removable roof but it does come with a roll bar that clears your head.

It also comes with a manual that you would need to refer very often, since this Caterham is available as a kit. This means you buy it in pieces and put it together just like a jigsaw puzzle. This is about half of the fun of each and every Caterham that is built, with the other half being able to drive on track.
Chevrolet
The National Corvette Museum, which is also situated in Bowling Green, files the universal history account of the car and holds a yearly National Corvette Homecoming. The Chevrolet Corvette was reckoned the 1st and sole U.S. sports vehicle to commemorate its fiftieth anniversary in year 2003.
According to the study made by the Experian Automotive and the Specialty Equipment Market Association, there were about 750,000 Chevrolet Corvettes of every model year accounted in America as of year 2009.
2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette Z06
In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Chevrolet launched the2012 Corvette Centennial Edition Z06, which comes in a special Centennial Edition package.
The major changes in the 2012 Centennial Edition are almost purely cosmetic while most of the driving dynamics remain the same.
Exterior & Interior
The major changes in the 2012 Centennial Edition Z06 are more cosmetic which makes this Z06 strikingly different. The new Z06 gets the Centennial Edition package that includes exclusive Carbon Flash Metallic exteriors, car graphics in satin black color and characteristic Centennial wheels in Satin Black with Red outline and Red colored brake calipers.
Special badges including images of Louis Chevrolet have been placed at the B-pillar, Steering Wheel and Wheel Centre caps.
The wheels of the Centennial Z06 have been specially built with light weight Aluminum. The front wheels get 19-inch alloys while the rear wheels get 20-inch. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires have been used in the 2012 Z06, and these have been a significant performance enhancer for the car.
The black color scheme runs in the interiors as well. The instrument panel, doors, seats and gear-shift knob are wrapped with black leather with red stitching.
The car features racing inspired powertrain and suspension. Also, the car has been designed to reduce the overall weight by use of Aluminum frame and Carbon Fiber components.
Engine Performance
The Corvette Centennial Edition Z06 is fitted with a 7-litre V8 engine producing 505 horsepower. The car does the 0-60 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds and runs the quarter mile in about 11.9 seconds, a tad slower than some of its contemporaries like the Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, though the Z06 is much cheaper than these cars.
This special edition can attain a top speed of 198 mph.
The 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette Z06 is a perfect fit to celebrate the racing and performance heritage of Chevrolet. It's also a great tribute to Louis Chevrolet.
