2011 Audi S5 Gets New Exhaust from Awe Tuning

The 2011 Audi S5 Cabrio is in for some minimal but effective modification, courtesy of Awe Tuning - a Philadelphia-based tuner specializing in German automobiles.
The tuning kit comprises of a new exhaust system which lets the 3.0-L V6 in the convertible to churn out an extra 8 hp and 9 Nm of torque more than the stock figures.

The system is fabricated from mandrel-bent 2.5” T304 Stainless Steel. An X-Pipe provides for an improved cylinder scavenging and exhaust tone.

2009 BMW 3 Series Convertible

2009 BMW 3 Series Convertible

The BMW 3 Series convertible offers the ultimate balance of performance, luxury and quality, according to reviewers. Testers say it drives like a dream and features two things many buyers want: a usable (though cramped) backseat and an automatic retractable hardtop.

The hardtop folds up or down in 23 seconds at the press of a button, and unlike most convertibles, you can actually see well out of the back window, say experts. Top up, the BMW 3 Series convertible provides "near-coupe-like isolation" in tests at ConsumerGuide.com. Top down, "wind buffeting is minor; normal conversation is possible even at highway speeds."

Buyers familiar with the BMW 3 Series' pedigreed performance won't be disappointed with the rear-wheel-drive convertible, according to reviewers. It's properly rigid and agile in hard cornering, with precise steering and impressive brakes.

Those looking for engine enhancements will want to skip this one because there are none. However, buyers will get other upgrades inside and out including 19-inch forged alloy wheels with wheel locks and Michelin Pilot Sport rubber, upgraded brakes front and back, Blistein shocks, lowering springs that drop ride height by about an inch in front and back, and sway bar set designed to reduce roll. Inside, the IS350C F-Sport gets embroidered F-Sport mats, leather shift knob and numbered badge on the center console.

2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster Launched

If there was ever a town made to road test convertibles in, it must be Queenstown in New Zealand. So it’s no wonder that Nissan Australia has flown a group of automotive journalist over to review its new Nissan 370Z Roadster.

Day one of the event was an introduction to the vehicle and an overview of Nissan’s plans for the new Z Roadster. Even though there was no drive program today, pricing and performance figures were made public as well as the cars specifications.

The 370Z Roadster 6 Speed Manual will retail for $74,990 while the 370Z Roadster 7 Speed Automatic will be available for $77,990.

2011 Ford Shelby GT500

.


With a little more power, a less weighty engine and new performance upgrades for 2011, the folks at Ford's SVT performance unit continue to turn the once portly, push-pig Shelby GT500 into an ever-more-legitimate all-around performance car.

Like its V6 and GT brethren, the GT500, which the company is to unveil at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, gets substantial upgrades for 2011, only a year after a major overhaul for 2010. You can think of it as a preemptive strike against the Camaro Z28 that has long been rumored to be waiting in the wings at Chevy.

Not surprisingly, the 2011 upgrades for the GT500 begin with the supercharged 5.4-liter V8, which Ford describes as an evolution of the engine from the now-departed Ford GT. Yep, that means the GT500 now has an aluminum-block engine instead of the stout iron block it has used up to now. This little switch chops off 102 pounds from the burden carried by the front axle of the notoriously nose-heavy GT500.
