2013 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback

The Impreza WRX STI is the performance flagship of Subaru's compact Impreza lineup. Available as a sedan or a hatchback, the STI is a rally-bred, enthusiast-focused machine that features a 305-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder.

First introduced for the 2008 model year, the STI has since received a minor facelift and a thoroughly revised suspension. The latter was the more substantive of the updates and included stiffer springs, tweaked front control-arm bushings, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, firmer rear subframe bushings and a 0.2-inch lower ride height. The changes managed to improve the car's already-superb balance and better its ride quality, although the steering remains a bit light for a performance car.

Audi boss confirms Range Rover Sport-rivaling Q8

A top Audi executive has confirmed that the automaker is working on a new range-

topping Q8 SUV that will rival vehicles like the BMW X6 and Land Rover Range Rover

 Sport.

Although we've heard rumblings about the Q8 before, Audi has never officially 

confirmed the project. However, that changed this week when Audi Wolfgang 

Dürheimer revealed to Autocar that the Q8 is moving quickly along the production 

track.

Billed as Jaguar's "most responsive, powerful, agile, and driver-focused production car," the XKR-S is a serious performance machine. It builds on the "normal" XKR by adding more power, a revised and stiffened suspension and special styling touches inside and out.

Mercedes-Benz SLC sports car

When last we heard of Mercedes’ SLC, the sports car project had been put on hold 

due to cost concerns. Now, it seems that development work on the 911-fighter is 

moving forward once more, and a new report has shed light on a number of 

powertrain and platform details.

BMW X6 M

The X6 M is the high-performance variant of BMW's controversial X6 crossover. Mechanically identical to the more conventionally-styled X5 M, the X6 M uses a potent version of BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8.

Output is pegged at 555 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and peak torque is 501 pound-feet, available between 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. The car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, according to the automaker. Fuel economy is rated at 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.

DONKERVOORT DETAILS AUDI-POWERED D8 GTO

Holland-based Donkervoort has finally released a full set of details about the new D8 GTO, a supercar that is inspired by the iconic Lotus Seven.

Like most Donkervoort products since the middle of the 1990s, the D8 GTO is powered by an Audi-sourced engine.  The mill in question is a five-cylinder 2.5-liter TFSI that is also found under the hood of the RS3 and the potent TT-RS. 

The Cadillac Escalade has become a favorite of the hip-hop set and with high profile individuals everywhere since the full-size luxury SUV first debuted in 1999, essentially as an up-level GMC Yukon. Now in its third generation, the Escalade still shares underpinnings with the Yukon andChevrolet Tahoe, but it features unique exterior styling, a more luxurious interior and a more powerful engine compared with its platform mates that allows it to compete with prestigious rivals.
