G-Power M6 Hurricane CS



Expect a hurricane to come by when you display the G-Power M6 Hurricane CS auto in front of your garage. That can be foolhardy though because with all its power this car can disappear in 60 seconds sans your religious attention. This auto meets the standard of the previous Hurricane RS M5 but this time around it comes with superchargers strapped onto the 5.0-Liter V10 engine producing 740 horsepower with a torque of 590 pound-feet.

The G-Power M6 Hurricane CS comes with carbon fiber seats, titanium exhaust and some other tweaks all aimed at reducing the auto’s weight by almost 100 pounds. It is known as the world’s fastest road-going BMW coupe with a top speed of 370 kilometers per hour. The G-Power M6 Hurricane CS has carbon ceramic brakes, coil-over suspension with nine adjustable settings, bespoke body kit, 380mm front discs clamped by six-piston calipers. And oh—it has giant 21-inch wheels. All these blood-rising features can be yours at a price tag of 390,000 Euros or an estimated $570,000. Now did I hear blood pressure rising?

2010 Peugeot 3008 Fuel



The 2010 Peugeot 3008 boasts of a new diesel hybrid drivetrain which can be powered using the diesel engine alone or by the electric motor alone. You can even combine the two powerplants for more power. It has a modular design so expect the technology to prominently figure across Peugeot’s entire line. Prototypes of the 2010 Peugeot 3008 are already being tested and it will be followed by the Citroen DS5 allowing the automaker to achieve CO2 emission reduction of 35% in the future.

The public got its first taste of the 2010 Peugeot 3008 when the Prologue HYmotion concept with almost identical features was shown during last year’s Paris Motor Show. The 2010 Peugeot 3008 itself will debut during the Geneva Motor Show. It will be powered by a 1.6-Litr HDi turbodiesel engine producing 107 horsepower and a torque of 177 pound-feet. A 2.0-Liter HDi diesel engine producing 148 horsepower and a torque of 251 pound-feet will also be made available. The good news is that mileage for the fuel efficient 3008 is set at 4.9 liters per 100 kilometer.

Those who just can’t get enough of the petrol-powered autos can opt for the three petrol engines; one with a 1.6-Liter VTi engine producing 118 horsepower and the other one with a 1.6-Liter THP engine producing 148 horsepower and a 1.6-Liter THP engine producing 154 horsepower. The most efficient petrol engine has a mileage of 7.35 liters for every 100 kilometer.
