2008 Audi TT

The original Audi TT, launched in 1998, created a storm in the sports coupe market and did wonders for the Audi brand profile. Now, the manufacturer is preparing to launch the second generation of this highly successful sports car.


Under the skin though, this car is all-new. It uses a new aluminum and steel space frame (the first time both materials have been used in tandem) with 69 percent of the structure being of aluminum and the other 31 percent of steel. The steel sections are all found at the rear, serving as a counterweight to the engine and resulting in better weight distribution over the two axles

Engine choices range between Audi's loveable 200-hp 2.0-liter FSI turbo and the 3.2-liter V-6 that was available in the last TT, rated at 250 hp. Traditionalists will spec their TTs out with the six-speed manual gearbox, but we might go with the optional ultra-slick dual-clutch gearbox. While both engines get both transmissions, only V6 models will feature Quattro all-wheel drive, and four-cylinder cars will be front-driven. Wheels will range from 16 to 19 inches.

2008 Lamborghini Ad Personam

Ad Personam program, which will allow buyers more personalization options. We dug the Gallardo Spyder in the Reventon's matte finish black-brown Marrone Apus color scheme with the Alcantara interior trim. We're not so sold on the powder blue Murcielagos on the stand, but we'd take one with the model in the passenger seat

Based on a "think of the impossible" concept, Lamborghini will be displaying three vehicles -- a Gallardo Spyder, Murcielago LP640 Coupe, and an LP640 Roadster -- at the Detroit show, each with various custom touches. New shades of paint, including the matte finish black-brown Marrone Apus as seen on the Reventon, will be featured alongside a new type of untreated natural Italian leather that will be used to cover the seats of the two Murcielagos on display. A special light blue color inspired by light reflecting off polar ice, dubbed Blu Cepheus, will also be shown.

2008 porsche cayenne

As expected from Porsche, the new Cayenne not only looks more powerful, it is more powerful, with engines offering as much as 500 horsepower and with new dynamic technologies that allow the Porsche of SUVs to perform like a nimble sports car while being fully capable of carrying five people, towing a trailer and blazing over unpaved terrain and through inclement weather.


For the 2008 Porsche Cayenne with its $43,400 base price ($58,900 Canadian), that engine is a 3.6-liter V6 that pumps out 290 horsepower and 283 pound-feet of torque. For the 2008 Porsche Cayenne S with its $57,900 base price ($78,500 Canadian), the engine is 4.8-liter V8 that generates 385 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. For the 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo with its $93,700 base price ($124,300 Canadian), the engine is a twin-turbocharged version of the 4.8-liter V8 that produces 500 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, propelling the five-passenger SUV from a standing start to 60 miles per hour (96 km/h) in a mere 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed on the test track of 171 mph (275 km/h). Despite such performance, the enhanced engine injection technology and improved vehicle aerodynamics have resulted in significant fuel economy improvements in Porsche’s internal pre-production testing.


But direct fuel injection is only one of the new technologies featured on the 2008 Porsche Cayenne.

The second generation SUV can be equipped with optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control with active anti-roll bars that almost completely offset body roll in turns, improving handling, comfort and active safety \on-road while providing enhanced off-pavement traction.

Also new are Dynamic Curve Lights (standard on the Cayenne Turbo and optional on the other models) that improve the driver’s view while driving on winding roads at night. Standard equipment on the 2008 Cayenne includes Porsche Stability Management (PSM^®),now with such new functions as pre-loading of the braking system when needed, new Trailer Stability Control, and off-road anti-lock breaking system (ABS).

For the first time, the Cayennes come with a rollover sensor able to trigger both the belt latch tensioners and curtain airbags in an emergency, thus helping to reduce the risk of injury for all occupants in a rollover. In conjunction with the Cayenne’s six standard air‧bags, this system gives Porsche's SUV a benchmark occupant safety and protection system.

Other new features include a standard and push-button Sports mode for all Cayenne engines, a standard power rear lift gate, optional of 21-inch wheels, a rail-mounted cargo management system, and XM satellite radio.
