The SRT group takes ordinary vehicles and turns them into high performance muscle machines; they have three cars and a Jeep named SRT-8, all using the 6.1 liter Hemi engine.
The least likely of the trio is the Dodge Magnum, the station wagon we’re not supposed to call a station wagon.
The Magnum R/T has a nice ride and surprisingly good dry-road handling, with quite a bit of power; but it’s hard to break the rear tires loose for longer than it takes to chirp them.
The WRC constructor’s title was won by Ford, so this deserves a good celebration with a special car, which can be champion on rallies.
Ford presented a photo that wants to put in work every sporty hatchback lover’s imagination.
The American constructor is preparing the RS version for Focus, much powerful than the ST, made now.
The Focus RS debut will take place next year, and we already know few things about its engine.
It seems that the new race Ford will have a turbo propeller of 2.5 litres from Focus ST, but we expect that the maximum power to be around 280 hp, an important rise (instead of the 225 hp of ST).
The Ford Mustang GT500KR is cast as the next KITT, Michael Knight’s faithful crime-fighting companion car.

In case you were wondering, David Hasselhoff is going to return to play the lead role once again.
The 540hp Ford Mustang GT500KR is going to be playing 3 different versions of KITT:
- the driverless version,
- a high-speed combat mode,
- and a standard version of the hero car.
Sounds a little far-fetched, but KITT’s new abilities are granted to it courtesy of nano-technology— allowing it to shift the car’s body color and shape.
In Britain, £15,000 buys you a mean and miserable family hatchback.
Well, we wouldn’t actually call a 2-litre Ford Focus miserable, but it’s not exactly the last word in feel-good motoring either.
ver in the States, however, $30,000 is serious money for buying motors. Sticking with Ford for a moment, $30k will buy you a full-on, pimped-out V8 Mustang with all the trimmings.
The entry level V6 starts at $19,000. Very good!
GM released some images of the interior of the future 2008 Cadillac STS.
Altough the American manufacturers suffer from a lack of imagination, this is not the case with the new Cadillac STS.
GM tried to be as innovative as it can be.
This generation of buttons and dashboard components have the nickname “black tie” because they are elegant and they go with anything.
I’ll just let the pictures of the Cadillac STS interior to talk for themselves.
