2013 Audi A4 and S4

Here is a look forward to the upcoming Audi A4 and the S4.

I drove a 2010 Audi A4 and it was sensational. It was everything that you expected it tobe : smooth, fast, incredibly well put together, and amazingly stylish. The 2012 A4 had a 2.0 litre inline 4- pot engine with a turbo. I drove the manual A4 and i have to say that the gearbox was very good. I especially enjoyed the interior and the amazing quality feel that came when you got in it.

But that was the past, and this is now. Audi have decided to give the A4 a relatively quick update from its monumental change in 2010. On the exterior we can see that the lights have been changed dramatically and the front face of the car is different from that of the 2010 model. The grill is slightly different and... well... not much else. The grill is very similar to the old ones' and it does not look like Audi had done anything with the rest of the exterior. The engine remains the same as well, pushing out 211 bhp to the A4 and a supercharged V-6 for the S4. The supercharged V-6 gives 333 bhp that makes it go from 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and to a limited top speed of 155 mph. The interior of the new A4 has been updated and from my point of view is gorgeous. The center console is now slightly tilted to the driver, bringing back memories of earlier Audis and BMWs. The steering wheel is new and seems to be inspired from the one in the new Audi A6. In addition, the new touchscreen will allow you to write your own words and input commands. The regular A4 and the S4 are not the only variants of the A4 range. in a few months there will be a new A4 all-road. Hopefully it will be better than the old one. The old Audi A4 all-road was a little bit higher than the regular car but it cost nearly twice as much. Although this is only a facelift i think that this is the best looking A4 that we have ever seen.

Lets Talk Porsche...

After years of painstaking and top-secret development, the new Porsche 911 is here. And it looks even better than ever. By that I mean that they changed the taillights a little bit. Honestly, where do they spend their money...

Obviously, Porsche say that this is the best 911 ever made. Over its 50 year lifetime the Porsche 911 has always been a symbol of middle-age and money. However, over the past few year the 911 has returned to form. It is finally good looking and not bought with old money anymore. As I said before the most significant exterior changes have been to the taillights. Porsche have also given it trendy LED lights that give the front of the car some depth, like mascara. The most significant changes have been in the interior. They have lifted the center console from the Panamera and put it into the 911, which I hate. You need to be a rocket scientist to understand anything that is there. It also make the 911 seem a little bit more family SUV than a track-bred screamer. Underneath, the largest changes are to the engines. Like BMW, Porsche have decided to hed to the future with downsizing the engine of the base model 911, the Carrera. In the previos version of the 911, the base model, the carrera, had a 3.6 litre flat-six engine. The more powerful Carrera S had a 3.8 litre flat-six. In the new versions however, the engine size has gone down. In the new Carrera, the engine is now a 3.4 litre flat-six. The Carrera S still has the 3.8 litre engine. The most notable difference between the new cars and the old ones besides the taillights is the power output. In the  Carrera S the bhp gets a boost to 400 bhp and the standard Carrera gets a boost to 350 bhp. I think that the new 911 is the best looking 911 that we have seen in a long time. Even though this is a new 911, many people are saying that it is very similar in handeling and in feel, which is good. Thus far, only the new Carrera and Carrera S are available. The new standar Carrera is 82 grand and the new Carrera S is 92 grand. You can, however, buy some of the old models for the time being.

New BMW M5!

Alright this will be my first post ever on this blog. This blog will feature new cars of all types but aire on the side of more high-performance vehicles. Don't Hate.

Ok, here goes.

Throughout history, the M5 has always been one of the best sport-sedans. Its signature soundtrack and high-revving engines have captured the hearts and minds of many middle-aged men with stupid bluetooth earphones and massive watches. This generation of M5 however, promises to derive slightly from the usual recipie for the car. Naturally, BMW say that this car is even better than the last one. For one thing, the new M5 looks much better than the last one. My good friend has a new 5-series and I believe that it is one of the best looking cars on sale today. Of course, M5 drivers would like to make it clear that they have bought a fire-breathing track monster and not just an ordinary boring regular 5-series. To achieve this, BMW have given the M5 a fiercer front end and lots of M sport badges. They have also given the M5 larger sills on the side and more exhausts pipes.
These new changes might not be much different than the old M5 was given, but that is not the end of the story. Underneath, this new M5 is much different. The older M5 was powered by a 5.0 litre V10 that is considered one of the best engines ever made. The reason this car was so popular was that it was so crazy. It did not look much different than the normal 5-series but produced 500 horsepower. The car was not happy just milling around town, mostly because of its stupid transmission. It had a manumatic shifter that had an automatic setting, which was rubbish. It delivered quick shifts, but only when you were on a track and were going for the redline. This new M5, however, is not powered by some mental V10 but a twin-turbo V8. This change signifiers the movement in which many car makers are deciding to downsize their engine to allows for better gas milage. Because of this movement, many companies are now favoring force-fed injection rather than a naturally aspirated engine. Even though the engine is smaller, the bhp output is actually more than that of the old M5. The new Beamer actually produces 560 bhp, 60 more than the old one. Early reports show that this car is noticeably faster that the old one, but lacks the sense of theater and frivolity that made the old one famous. Also, a manual transmission has been promised, getting rid of that stupid shitter I mean shifter of old. I think that this car looks amazing and if i ever have the pleasure of driving one i will die a happy man.
