The ultra-high performance Audi R8 combines the time-honored hallmarks of the best of classic sports cars with futuristic construction, transmission and suspension technologies, all underpinned by the steadfast reassurance of the Quattro four-wheel-drive system.
Mounted longitudinally directly behind the cockpit of this comparatively lightweight 3,439lb aluminium-bodied Audi sports car, is a high revving V8 petrol engine which punches the R8 through the 100km/h barrier in just 4.6 seconds and, in the right conditions, can carry it on to a top speed of 187mph – an unprecedented high for a street-legal Audi.

MINI
|
|
MINI will have a family of cars on display this year at the World Financial Center Motorexpo; however one will look a little different than the others.
This is the MINI Clubman. With split rear barn doors, the MINI Clubman might look a little curious. But don’t let the bigger boot fool you. When it comes to go-kart handling, fuel-efficiency and a snarling bulldog stance, the MINI family resemblance is absolutely unmistakable.
