V8 Harmony

2011 BMW M3 E92 Competition Package

If you're a BMW owner, you probably know that they aren't famous for making cars that love to boast about power. Luckily the M division got tired of making quiet powerful saloons and are now into having cars that make some noise. New for 2011, when you buy an M3 Competition Package, you have the option of souping it up with a new performance exhaust system. For $4,400, you will be able to make your M3 scream at 8000 RPMs allowing the whole world to know just how happy your car is. I must warn you though: when an M3 is happy, you might want to keep back a few feet. And now with this new exhaust system out there, you might want to move a bit further back. Anyway, listen carefully to the harmonious 4.4-liter V8 in the video below and see if you're M3 needs a tune-up. 

Sick with Two Less Doors (Part 2)

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

Aww yes! The two-door sportster from Mercedes-Benz has returned looking sexier than ever. Prepared to set foot in the Geneva Motor Show area, this is the new C-Class Coupe. It keeps all the sick stuff that you love about the regular sedan including its powerful engine, keen weight distribution, and just the sheer driving passion. Normally, C-Class sedans were for the kind of businessmen who hated being bored typing continuously in their office for 7 hours a day and just wanted have fun in a business-type 4-door saloon. Now that it's taken away its rear doors, this coupe is for the bloke who just wants an edge. He probably does business, but he's hardcore after work. Anyway, the new baby coupe comes with two new engines: a new 1.8-liter turbo-4 with 201 horsepower and an improved 3.5-liter V6 with 304 horsepower. This should worry those in BMW 3-series coupes and Audi A5s. Prices have not been announced yet, but they will be in the coming weeks. I honestly don't care what the price is. This car is sick times 2.

Diamond is the new Black

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Black Diamond Edition

If you thought the Cadillac CTS-V couldn't get anymore luxurious as it as comfortable and fast, well, think again. The dudes at Cadillac have just unveiled this ultra-luxurious CTS-V Black Diamond Edition. This special package will be available on all models of the CTS-V: Coupe, Sedan, and Wagon. So, what do you do to make the fastest Sedan/Wagon/Coupe in the world more luxurious? Well, for starters, hows about putting a 3-coat layer of black metallic paint and showering it with flakes of aluminum that has been enclosed in magnesium fluoride. This gives the car a more black-shiny look, a big luxury #1 in the Luxury handbook. Then, change the paint of the 19-inch sport rims to Satin Graphite and give it yellow Brembo brake calipers to give it a more sporty and aggressive look.

Drinks-globe luxury 

As for the interior, hows about re-stitching those beautifully comfortable Recaro seats with some microfiber suede. Then, as a finish, add some Midnight Saepele Wood Accents all around the cabin of the car. Put this all together, and you have yourselves a $70,000 well-tailored drivable tuxedo. Now that price may sound like a lot but compared to most expensive exotics who do these kinds of things, this is actually 4x times less than, let's say, a Ferrari 458 Italia Black Diamond Edition, if they ever do one, that is. So this is the bargain of the century.

Über Coupe

2012 BMW 1 Series M Coupe

With stunning, aggressive looks combined with exhilarating power, the 1 Series M Coupe is one for the history books for being the next best thing to the 80's BMW M3. Under the hood is a 3.0-liter Twin-Scroll Turbocharged 340 horsepower Inline-6 engine connected to a 6-speed Manual transmission. 0 to 60 is reached in under 5 seconds on its way to a limited top speed of 155 MPH. When on scene at the NAIAS today, it stood out amongst a crowd of wannabe's. I truly believe that this car will revolutionize BMW through the letter M. Prices start at about $47,000 which seems expensive, but for a car that's powerful and light at the same time, this is pretty good value.

Sick with Two Less Doors

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

Here it is, everyone! The sick C-Class loses its two rear doors and is now more sporty than ever. Introducing the C-Class coupe. It shares the same face, rear lights, and front interior of the regular sedan, but everything past the front seats have changed. There is now one less seat in the back. The body is more curved for aerodynamic purposes. Other than that, this is still a C-Class. The base engine is now a turbo-4 with 201 horsepower. All the engines and features will be carried over from the sedan, except for one model that will have Mercedes' new 5.5-liter Twin-Turbocharged 563 horsepower V8 engine: the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series. Europe already has a C-Class coupe, but they named it the CLC and it's much smaller and looks more like a VW Golf. This one is coming to America and looks more aggressive. Be on the lookout for this car at Geneva this March.

First Post of 2011: Cayenne Coupe?

2011 Merdad Cayenne Coupe

Believe it or not, but what you're looking at is the 2-door version of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. A German tuner known as Merdad was able to slice the passenger section off and only combine the front seats and the rear trunk space to create what what you're seeing now; a Cayenne Coupe. And that's not the only thing he did. He added a new bodykit, 22-inch rims, and some new turbos increasing the horsepower from 500 to 740. Merdad claims that this sporty CUV (Coupe Utility Vehicle) will do 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds. I think it will be able to do it in a lesser time considering how small and powerful it is. Look for this 2-door Cayenne this year only in Germany.
