Through a new engine management software specially developed for the Peugeot 308 RCZ the 1.6 liter engine produces 218 bhp.

Picture of the day

New VW Golf 6

There's some new pictures of the new Golf. Keeping the same overall shape and introducing a front end similar to that of the new Scirocco, which will be apparently the new corporate 'look' for VW. With the Golf being one of Europe's top selling cars for several generations, it's easy to see why they would take a conservative approach. The Golf keeps its strong C Pillar above the rear wheels, and has rear light clusters not to dissimilar to those on the recently introduced Tiguan 4x4 model. Interior space should also be similar to the current range, with the quality of the interior materials being upgraded to more soft feel plastics, higher quality switchgear taken from other models, and the recently upgraded VW touch screen satellite navigation will be optional.

BMW M5 Hurricane

G-Power, the German tuner, prepared a special edition of BMW M5. They claim that can easily beat an Audi RS6. The car have a powerful tuning and the power difference with serial version is very big. They didn’t make important changes to the look. They concentrated mostly to the engine, that offered, until now has obtained 730 hp! The German tuner didn’t told what it takes for the car to reach 100 km/h, and the top speed for Hurricane is about 340 km/h. G-Power also wants to increase the compressor’s pressure to 1 bar, and it could get the car to 800 hp.

2009 Nissan Murano

The new 2009 Nissan Murano is one of those nondescript mid-size crossover utility vehicles that may blend into the crowd. Its styling is certainly modern, if not that much exciting. The cabin is spacy, the handling is inspiring, if not unduly sporty. The engine is strong and efficient.

Volvo S80 2008

For Volvo, the biggest change has perhaps been on the outside. Long known as “Swedish bricks”, a change to more rounded and organic shapes took place with the first generation of S80 in the summer of 1998. The base engine in the S80 is a 3.0 l, double-overhead camshaft 6-cylinder (in-line) engine that gives you 235 hp at 6,200 rpm. Thanks to other enhancements such as variable-valve timing and a variable intake system, the torque picture is nice; with the twist factor being 236 lb/ft of a relatively low 3,200 rpm. The interior is warm, well-lighted place. A modern wood inlay has replaced a classic wood inlay for the 2008 model year. In the center is the same floating center console you’d find in corporate cousin, the S40.
