2009-New Mercedes S-Class S600

The Mercedes experts will be focussing more than ever on avoiding traffic accidents and reducing accident severity, with the driver assistance systems being unveiled in the new E-Class and the model year 2009 S-Class from spring 2009 onwards set to play a crucial role.Mercedes-Benz is implementing a globally unique synergy of sophisticated safety technologies to give its cars extra “senses” and added intelligence. All of which makes Mercedes models part of the “thinking” process – cars that can see, sense and act autonomously. In addition to this, the Mercedes saloons show the way ahead when it comes to occupant protection and set new standards with their “electronic” crumple zones.

To this end, Mercedes-Benz is for the first time using cameras alongside radar sensors. These long-range cameras monitor the area around the car and are able to interpret critical situations. By way of example, new camera-based assistance systems help the driver by keeping the car safely on track, detecting speed-limit signs, controlling the headlamps in line with the current driving situation and enhancing visibility in the dark.

The new GT3 sports car of AUDI R8 LMS

The new GT3 sports car of AUDI AG successfully passed the ultimate endurance test: In the fastest 24-hour race the Nürburgring has ever seen, all four Audi R8 LMS cars that started to the race crossed the finish line. Christian Abt, Jean-François Hemroulle, Pierre Kaffer and Lucas Luhr (Team ABT Sportsline) clinched an unexpected second place in front of 235,000 spectators (throughout the weekend) and grabbed victory right away in the GT3 class for the Audi R8 LMS at its first 24-hour run.

"For the Audi R8 LMS, this race represented a final test under extreme conditions on the world’s longest race track,” said Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "We were able to demonstrate that our new GT3 sports car is absolutely competitive for customer sport. And the number 97 R8 LMS ran without the slightest problems despite the incredible speed.”

Up to a few hours before the finish there was even a sensation in the air at the Nürburgring: Marc Basseng, Mike Rockenfeller and Frank Stippler in the Audi R8 LMS #99 of Team Phoenix Racing were leading the race for almost 17 hours before the car – at 11:21 am in the Karussell circuit sector – stopped due to a defect in the power transmission system. After replacing the right rear suspension and the drive shaft, the three Germans were able to continue the race with a six-lap gap and – in the end – managed clinching the fifth place.

BMW M3 Cars Pictures

The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series compact car, developed by BMW's branch BMW M. You waited years for it kids, and here it almost is. It's not the new V8-powered BMW M3, it's the V8-powered BMW M3 Concept. That means it's just teasing the crap out of you, isn't it? BMW's own World Touring Car champ, Andy Priaulx drove it out from the wings, revving the M3 for the rafters. Shite. All that talk about BMW neutering its V8 was unfounded. To save weight, it's got a carbon fiber roof and aluminum hood, along with 19" light alloys. Yeah, we were surprised at the hots on this one. Expect the production model to appear later this year in Frankfurt...

Alfa Romeo Brera Concept car and Pictures

The Alfa Romeo Brera is a new exclusive sport coupe that awakens a storm of emotion and guarantee maximum driving pleasure. it's probably the most acclaimed Alfa of the latest years: presented as a stunning concept at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show, today the Brera is a procution reality. But it is not the same car: there are few but significant changes...The Brera was recently awarded the "Most Beautiful Car of the World" prize, and we, in partnership with the Italian Magazine AutoViaggiando, took this chance to speak about the passage from the Concept to the series model.The Brera production model is undoubtly one of the best Alfa Romeo cars of the latest years: yet it has lost something of the fantastic appeal of the Concept. The dimensions are a bit different: the production Brera is slightly longer (+25 mm) but has a consistantly shorter wheelbase (-70 mm). This soften the sporty and aggressive look of the Concept, that rested on the 20 inches wheels placed at the corners of the car and had minimal overhangs.This "quieter" character of the car is stressed by the smaller width (-64 mm) and the greater height (+84 mm).Another significant change can be seen in the profile view: the side window is split in two parts by a small B-pillar; the door profile is completely different: it is shorter and has a more conventional line. The space left in the rear portion of the side panel gives the production Brera a heavier look. have a fun....look more pictures above :
