The Subaru BRZ was a product of collaboration with Toyota but most of the engineering work were done by Subaru. The car manufacturer though reveals that the flat four BRZ will also make use of the fuel injection system of Toyota. The output of the engines though has some considerable difference, with the BRZ to give out a bit under 300 horsepower while the FT-86 produces around 200 horsepower.

Other details about the new BRZ have never been released though. Subaru might be considering a roadster version of the BRZ as a future model.

Subaru insiders said that they do not have a costing strategy at the moment but if the BRZ is aiming to compete with the Volkswagen Scirocco, then the price of the Subaru coupe might just be around the VW’s coupe range.

Despite the lack of pricing and image of the production version of the BRZ, fans have already expressed their excitement as inquiries keep the dealership network of Subaru busy answering questions about the upcoming ride.

In the UK, the 2+2 coupe will be filling up a good demand for a new niche market but they plan to focus on products like the XV crossover and sell around 7,500 units for 2012.

The Subaru BRZ will be unwrapped this November at the Tokyo auto show.

According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , they have turned down the Italian automaker’s request to be exempted from the long-standing US safety rule for “smart” airbags.

For the past 11 years, all automobiles that are registered in the United States comply to these smart airbags whose deployment force adjust to the person’s height and weight. The Lamborghini and Tesla models were exempted the past 5 years based on financial grounds.

According to the statement made by the Italian carmaker, they might be able to sell only about five supercars, with tag price at $1.1 million, next year. However, the development of these smart airbags, which are a must under the US Federal Law, would cost them €4.0 million. Pagani thought that this should be basis for a waiver. However, the NHTSA didn’t see it that way.

The NHTSA Notice Summary states that they have determined that the luxury carmaker failed to demonstrate their compliance will cause economic hardship. And that exempting Pagani will mean inconsistency with the Safety Act.

Unfortunately for Pagani, the denied NHTSA waiver would mean loss of income estimated at $4.5 million until about 2015.

The AMG Performance Studio opened in Affalterbach, Germany way back in 2006 and since then, they have been upgrading the standing horsepower and torque figures by almost 32 ponies and 100 Nm of torque through the AMG Performance Package.

We bet you paused there for a bit and stared at the tag price. You read it right, the Aston Martin Cygnet will be $21,000 more expensive than the cheapest of the city cars, the Toyota iQ. The pricing of the Cygnet puts it in the price category of the C Class of Mercedes-Benz, 3-Series of BMW, and the Audi A4.

Aston Martin explains that consumers will be getting a British manufactured iQ that has the styling touch of Aston Martin plus all the leather you can imagine for the interior. If that sounds short, there will also be heated seats, GPS navigation, and passive entry. Everyone might have the “but still…” in mind.

Aston Martin is really determined to push the Cygnet to the market. The car manufacturer is deteremined to release 2 special editions. The cars come with some unique styling, upgrades for the interiors, and a luggage set by Bill Amberg.

The performance numbers have not been released yet but if the power will come from the 1.33L Toyota sourced powerplant, it may have an output of 97 horsepwoer with a torque of 91 lb-ft. The engine will be coupled most likely with a CVT or a 5-speed manual transmission.

Initially, the Aston Martin Cygnet will be released only in Europe but the company is looking to expand the coverage by 2012.

Mazda has been contemplating about revising their sports car strategy after getting feedback that the current version of the MX-5 is too heavy to fulfill its original ethos.

The new MX-5 is a good candidate for the Nagare design lines inspired by elements from nature like the water and the wind. Mazda was able to produce nice concepts using these design lines back in 2007 and 2006.

The Nagare will be used for the upcoming MX-5 but it will not be used anymore for any concept vehicles. Mazda will implement their next design language come autumn.

The use of the Nagare lines for the next MX-5 was contested within the company since some felt that the MPV is not deserving of the treatment.

The original plan of the MX-5 has the numbers set to 1,000 kilograms upon development. Mazda still has the same numbers planned for the new Mazda MX 5. The engineers are still trying to figure out the options for the powerplant of the sportscar. It will most likely get the Sky-G type petrol engine with 1.6L and 1.8L variants. The engine will be coupled with a manual transmission with six speeds. Another option will be to pair it with the new dual clutch transmission.

The tuning firm releases the production-ready version for those willing to write a $1,000,000 check and those who want to get their hands behind the wheels cheaper, rarer, and more aggressive than a Bugatti Veyron.

This car is a dream machine with its American V8 powerplant mid-mounted on its Elise architecture beefed up by Garrett turbos so it can whip out 1,200HP and a monstrous torque of 1,135 lb-ft. The engine is coupled with a 6-speed Ricardo gearbox.

The car blasts to 260 mph while revving at 6600 rpm in sixth gear although the speedometer has some space to go to 270 mph. The numbers translates to where-did-that-car-go performance of 0 to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds.

All corners are supplied with Brembo brakes with 15 inch discs and 6-piston calipers. The drag coefficient of the body is awesome at 0.36 when the rear wing is lowered and 0.43 when raised.

John Hennessey calls this baby the fulfillment of his dream when he was a kid. Indeed.

This model is the second generation of this particular SUV. It differs from its first generation predecessor in several ways, including the fact that it is lighter, longer, and lower, which all combine to create even better fuel efficiency.

The SUV is an aerodynamic wonder with a design meant to allow for an even lower Cd value.

Another difference is that the Touareg comes with the option of a hybrid drivetrain.

I love the French language.

I love French accents.

I love French decor, French food, French history, the French culture, and French wine.

There are an endless number of things I love about France, but more on the topic here, I love French cars and automakers.

So really, does it come as any surprise that I love not only Citroen in general, but also the new concept, the Survolt, in particular?

Even the picture of this car reeks of power. It is one of those vehicles that you can practically hear purring right through a photograph.

What this means is that there is a fantastic chance for you to get a brand new car from GM and not have to worry about the financing.  This is a sales strategy that I believe is going to certainly work in the benefit of the company.

Not only is it going to bring in more and more business, but it is going to allow people that need a new car to get one.

The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has oversold themselves and the most popular color for the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor?  Well, that is black!  This truck is about $40,000 but still, if you are looking to do a lot of off-roading, the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is definitely it.

Just remember that the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is limited right now – so if you want one, you better get it fast!
