New Lagonda

Aston-Martin is a production-based sports car, production line is relatively simple. At present, lots of sports car factories switch their eyes to SUV. Porsche cayenne is a classic example. This made Aston-Martin could hardly sit still, and it plans to introduce a SUV. Aston Martin shocked the Geneva motor show, and it unveiled the Lagonda Concept, a V12-engined SUV. It’s the fruit of a new collaboration between Aston and Mercedes-Benz, which will provide the 4x4 hardware and engine tech-from the Merc GL SUV. The Lagonda Concept is based on the four-wheel drive chassis of Mercedes GL, so it’s four-wheel drive, but unlike its donor car, the Lagonda version seats just four and features a V12 engine up front.
But to pacify those with a conscience, Aston Martin promises it is ‘committed to innovative new propulsion technologies’, so Mercedes or another supplier will provide alternative powertrains such as flexi-fuels, hybrids and diesels. It is not a finished car though- Lagonda won’t have a production car on the road for at least three years.

Audi R8 VS Ferrari F430

Today I saw a Audi R8 race with a Ferrari F430. Though it just have few seconds, it is Amazing. Especially the engine sound, so great. It seems that the acceleration of the R8 is faster than F430.
Two monsters, two GTs, two of the most famous cars in the world. One German, one Italian. They are both two-seater coupes with a rear-centre mounted V8 engine. The F430 it is powered by a V8 engine delivering 490 hp while the R8 delivers 420 hp. The R8 has a top speed of 187 mph. The F430 has a top speed of 196 mph. The F430 makes 0 to 100km/h in 4 seconds, covering 1000m from a standing start in 21.6 seconds. The R8 takes an extra six tenths of a second to reach the 100km/h mark. Each has its own character, its own beauty. Again, they are hard to compare.
