New Audi TT Coupe

The new Audi TT Coupe sports car embodies the style, stability and power of a pure driving machine, a real sports car.

The Audi TT is initially available as a 2 + 2-seater coupe; the separate roadster model is scheduled for later launch. It reaches a top speed of 250 km/hour.

The cockpit is oriented strictly to the driver and is perfectly ergonomic in design. It embodies the classic circles motif of the TT in a number of ways, such as in the three centre air vents.

The V6 engine distributes its power across both axles by way of the quattro permanent four-wheel drive system – an exclusive technology feature in the sports coupe segment.

Saturn Sky Red Line

Saturn keeps revitalizing with the 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line performance roadster sports car. The Red Line, available at Saturn retailers this fall, builds on the Sky’s established performance character, offering even more power and sportier driving dynamics combined with a bold design and driver-focused interior.

The Red Line gets a boost in performance from a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, GM’s first direct injection offering in North America. It produces 260 horsepower at 5300 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 2500 rpm, making it GM’s highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 bhp per liter).

2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The legendary Porsche RS nameplate represents the ultimate in racing ability and brings back memories of special Porsche models such as the 1972 Carrera RS 2.7 and 1991 911 RS.

The engine has 415 HP screaming to a 8400 rpm redline but the close-ratio six-speed transmission with a single-mass flywheel and 44 lbs lower vehicle weight makes the engine rev up even more freely, thus enabling the 911 GT3 to sprint from zero to 62mph in 4.2 seconds. It takes just 13.3 seconds to hit to 124 mph. Top speed is 187 mph.

The new RS body is 1.7 inch wider at the rear (a legacy from the Carrera 4 models with which it shares its shell). The muscular-looking rear conceals a wider track that not only improves directional stability but also increases the potential cornering grip of this hot two-seater coupe.

The Porsche GT3 RS will go on sale in both Europe and North America.

Tesla Roadster Electric Sports Car

The first electric car manufactured by Tesla Motors, the high-performance, zero-emissions Tesla Roadster sports car, was unveiled before a crowd of car buffs and potential customers.

The electric Tesla Roadster has the equivalent of 135 mpg and a range of 250 miles on a single charge, a combination unseen until now in a mass-produced electric car. Its extended range is due to its state-of-the-art lithium-ion Energy Storage System.
The Tesla Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in four seconds.

Using a unique two-speed electrically activated manual transmission, the Tesla Roadster's power comes from a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor. The motor is controlled by the Power Electronics Module (PEM) which also controls the inverting direct current to 3-phase alternating current, charging and braking systems.

Tesla Motors's engineers have gone to great lengths to ensure that not only is the Tesla Roadster safe to drive, but also is safe when charging, at home or on the road.

The electric motor's efficiency rating is likely to be as high as 95 percent, while the internal combustion engine's efficiency is 20 percent or less. With this efficiency, the Tesla Roadster achieves the equivalent of 135 mpg.

That efficiency doesn't slow this sleek sports car down, either. Estimated 0-60 mph time is around four seconds, and with an electric motor, the torque is instantaneous, throw-you-back-in-the-seat responsive.

Ferrari P4

This unique sports car Ferrari P4 is based on the Ferrari Enzo and designed to be not just a show-car but a great sports car to be enjoyed on the road.

The car has been designed and built to bring to life a dream and creating a sort of symbiosis between the customer and car leading to the definition of this amazing model.

Starting from a Ferrari Enzo, the aim was to produce a vehicle inspired by sport racing cars with extreme vocations.

The sleek lines of the sports car, characterized by a soft muscular touch, took shape on the body – made entirely of carbon fiber.
The tapered profile of the nose highlights both its aerodynamic function and the car’s new look; the central body is dominated by the single-shell windscreen, while the car is accessed via two butterfly type doors.
