Volvo XC90 with 3 different engines
Six Cylinder Petrol Engine (3.2) : This highly compact all-new in-line 238 PS six-cylinder petrol engine meets high expectations within performance, comfort and environmental care. The smooth running and responsive engine character provides a relaxed drive at all speeds. Advanced engine technology, such as the variable geometry intake manifold, helps increase torque over a wide speed range and ensures power at high revs. And depending on your driving style and the situation, the intake valve train automatically switches between economy and performance modes to optimise efficiency.The engine's compact design aids safety performance in a frontal collision. The latest generation of fast response emission control technology ensures that this engine complies with stringent environmental standards such as California’s ULEV II. 3.2 also available as AWD on S80.
Eight Cylinder Petrol Engine (V8) : Allied with an advanced all-wheel drive system and six-speed Geartronic, this highly compact V8 harmonises perfectly with the agile character of your Volvo. The sophisticated engine design, boasting continuously variable valve timing and variable intake system, promotes high performance, smooth running, and superior power from low revs. The full torque potential of 440 Nm is delivered at 3950 rpm, while at only 2000 rpm the engine delivers 370 Nm. There’s ample power for overtaking quickly and safely, as well as for long and comfortable journeys. Advanced emission control featuring four catalytic converters reduces harmful emissions beyond the standards required by current legislation, such as Euro 4 and California’s ULEV II, making this V8 one of the cleanest in its class.
Five Cylinder Turbo Diesel (D5) : Dynamically matched to the Volvo XC90, this efficient all-aluminium turbodiesel is a harmonious source of power. New diesel technology, such as common rail direct injection and variable turbine geometry assure quick and comfortable response, superior fuel economy and cleaner exhaust. Its high torque (max 400 Nm) provides remarkable flexibility in any situation. Low weight further enhances fuel economy and a balanced drive. The engine meets stringent environmental demands and features a maintenance-free particulate filter that effectively reduces soot particles in exhaust gases.

BMW X6 by Hamann
The BMX X6 is a tricky vehicle to classify. In photos, it can look like a hot-hatch on steroids. Up close, you see the SUV in the vehicle. It's dimensions are even larger than the X5 and the only thing that cramps its cargo room to make it less than the X5 is the sloping hatch - a styling cue that makes the X6 unique and hard to pin down. Of course, the term-du-jour is Crossover, which is what Hamann-Motorsports uses to describe the X6. But their treatment is a little more adventurous than that. Hamann boosts the X6's 3.5i gasoline/petrol version from 306 to 360 hp and the 3.5d (diesel) from 286 hp to 320 hp. Cranking power is also considerably elevated by 140 Nm to 540 Nm in the 3.5i and taken to a massive 660 Nm in the 3.5d from a previous 580 Nm.
On the outside, Hamann offers the option of 23-inch rims, in need of 315/25R23 tires. Oh, and the price tag for just the four wheels is 9,385 euros. Yes, this is an audacious tuner that also messes with the BMW sound with a four-pipe exhaust system that gives the X6 a more grounded sound.
The tuning kit also comes with a collection of spoilers and skirts and the interior gets a once-over with special carbon-fiber materials too. But Hamann is a performance tuner and this X6 definitely puts on a show.

ToyoBaru RWD Sports Car delay until 2012
A smart project of Toyota and Subaru to working together on a rear-wheel-drive sportscar with “wonderful styling” have been replaced by rumours that the car has been put on hold.
The future and superb drift machine, regarded by many as the potential successor to the now legendary AE86, is believe to be based on the current Subaru Legacy platform and powered by a boxer engine putting out around 200hp through a six speed manual transmission.
The original plan is due in 2011,but, according to Nikkei, the car has been delayed to at least 2012 or more. But with things set to get even worse around the globe, 2012 may just come and go without any trace of a Toyobaru RWD sports car.
