Power transmission for 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a line of 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that produces 148 horsepower and 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard transmission is offered in the ES is a five-speed manual. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is optional and is standard on SE models. Front wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive available on the SE. As with standard AWD Outlander models feature three pilot selectable modes to optimize traction.

2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Edmunds tests in a front-wheel drive Outlander Sport with manual transmission accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. It is a time fast enough, but the most commonly installed CVT hope that sport becomes a little average performance. The EPA estimated fuel economy of 25 mpg city/31 highway and 27 mpg in combined driving a front-drive automatic model. The manual has suffered 24/31/26 mpg, while IT gets to 24/29/26 mpg.

Standard safety features on the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander sport include front side airbags, front airbags and rear side curtain, knee airbags, driver’s side, four disc brakes wheel ABS, hill start assist control, traction and stability. In Edmunds brake test was a front-wheel drive Outlander Sport to a stop from 60 mph in 141 feet, which is about 15 meters higher than comparable crossovers have to stop.

Despite its name, moved in 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander a little in the way of athletic sports. The acceleration is passable, but often find yourself want more power at the entry roads and bystanders. Handling is also disappointing, with plenty of body roll, which did much to inspire driver confidence and enjoyment. To its credit, the sport has a soft and quiet. 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Powertrains, Performance, Safety and Driving Impressions.

2011 Range Rover Evoque

This is the 2011 Range Rover Evoque, which was unveiled following an exclusive preview in London for 300 guests attending a 40th birthday celebration of Range Rover held in partnership with Vogue magazine. The guests included model Erin O'Connor and television presenter Gabby Logan, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Zara Phillips.

The Evoque will go on sale next Summer once it has bowed at the Paris motorshow on the 30th October. While Land Rover had remained tight-lipped about more details, we know the Range Rover will come in 2WD & 4WD and is the lightest, smallest and most frugal SUV in the firm’s line-up. The greenest Evoque will emit no more than 130g/km of CO2. 'The two-wheel-drive option will give customers the chance to benefit from lower entry-level pricing, plus CO2 and fuel-economy efficiencies,' said Popham. However, Land Rover has ditched its plans for a hybrid variant of the Evoque. Land Rover is working on hybrid systems and its first model to receive the system will be the next Range Rover in 2013.

The Evoque stays accurate to the LRX concept that was first shown two years ago. According to Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern, it is 'a modern and relevant execution of the familiar Range Rover design'.

Land Rover’s managing director, Phil Popham, said, ‘Customers can be confident that the new car will be premium, luxurious and just as special as the other Range Rover models. Its sporting looks and unique qualities will open the brand to a new group of customers who might not have considered a Range Rover before.’

Although no outsiders of Land Rover know what the car looked like before its launch, regardless of what it would cost, Land Rover says it has already taken deposits from buyers, and that it has received around 20,000 'expressions of interest' in the Evoque.

No interior photos have been revealed yet, but potential customers can expect the kind of premium and luxurious materials already found in other Range Rover models, according to the firm. Former Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham is now a creative design executive, and will be designing the interior of the Evoque. She described the new Range Rover as 'absolutely stunning' and that the chance to join forces on the design was 'an incredible opportunity'.

Land Rover and Range Rover design director Gerry McGovern said of Victoria Beckham: 'She knows a lot about fashion and a lot about trends, a lot about luxury products. I believe this appointment adds a new dimension to my design team as we continue to design products to appeal to a wider audience.'

"The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque will be built at our multi-award winning plant in Halewood, creating 1,000 new jobs in the Merseyside area, a fantastic boost to the UK economy. The Halewood plant has a reputation for excellence and quality and is recognised throughout the industry as a leader in Lean Manufacturing.

"The all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is a true global car and will be sold in over 160 countries. It was important to give the car a name that was instantly recognisable through language and cultural boundaries throughout the world. We wanted to create a new name which was innovative and different. A name which implies exclusivity and arouses emotions. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is cosmopolitan and cross-continental, sophisticated and matches the car's urban elegance," he added.

Prices are expected to start at £35,000 for the 2WD and £40,000 for the 4WD. This would mean that the Evoque is at least £10,000 cheaper than the larger Range Rover Sport. While the Evoque is classed as a coupe, a more practical 5dr will join the range at a later date.

McLaren MP4-12C 2011

Many sports cars of the older generation are now being changed into new and innovative designs fit for the 21st century. The 2011 McLaren MP4-12C tackles both the authenticity of McLaren cars and taking F1 design to a new level.

The 2011 McLaren MP4-12C has many fresh features that will excite aficionados of the brand. Every part of the sports car is manufactured and designed by the car company itself. With all these features and design ingenuity, it is clear that the 2011 McLaren MP4-12C has the makings of a classic.

 The chassis is now made using a Carbon MonoCell called 12C MonoCell. The structure is more slender than former models, which in turn allows the car to be maneuvered and positioned easier on the road. The Maclaren is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine producing around 600 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque. The engine is coupled to a McLaren seven speed Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox (SSG). It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3,5 seconds and can hit a top speed of more than 200mph.

Lightness is integrated into the design of the car. This can be seen in various parts all over the car. Access to the comfortable interior is through large ‘dihedral’ doors that are opened by swiping a hand underneath the broad shoulder running across the top of the door. The dihedral design uses just one hinge and allows for full access even in the tightest of spaces. Functionality is also prevalent throughout the interior. All switches and buttons are mounted within reach of the driver and are grouped according to application. The most important information is presented to the driver in the binnacle behind the steering wheel, which features a very prominent, tachometer. Additional info is presented in a screen mounted on the floating centre console. The grip of the steering wheel is modelled after grips of the wheels used by McLaren’s World Championship winning Formula 1 drivers.

All the parts of the McLaren MP4-12C are bespoke and unique to this car. Everything from the engine right down to the tailor-made switches and buttons is pure McLaren: nothing has come from another manufacturer’s parts bin.

Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon 2011

Cadillac has been a leading luxury auto brand since 1902. In recent years, Cadillac has engineered an historic renaissance led by artful engineering and global expansion. Like the sedan and coupe models, the CTS-V sports Wagon is powered by the same 6.2 liter supercharged V8 engine that delivers a total of 556 hp and 551 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine can be coupled to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic.

The exterior is finished in Midnight Silver, first seen on the Cadillac Sixteen Concept, and accented by lustrous Liquid Silver-finished wheels and a black chrome finish on the grille’s mesh insert. The rear fascia, upper spoiler and center high-mounted stop lamp are also unique to the show car. Its unique bodystyle is all we can say about what distinguishes the wagon from either of the other two high performance variants. It will ride on 19-inch aluminum wheels, pack magnetic ride control, Brembo brakes and has an optional panoramic sunroof. OK, so there’s something it has that the other two don’t.

Inside, the CTS-V Sport Wagon show car is trimmed in exclusive black leather with Alcantara accents. The upper section of the instrument panel and upper door panels are covered in the same premium leather, accented with midnight Sapele wood, while the microfiber material and stitching is applied to the lower door panels, pillars, console lid, headliner and steering wheel center. The show car features fine-grain black leather- trimmed Recaro seats with Alcantara seat inserts. The seat inserts are divided in the center and accented with dark gray stitching, while the V-series logo is laser etched into the seatbacks. Obsidian Black accents grace the center stack, console, steering wheel and door panels.
The interior of the CTS-V Sport Wagon is shared with the sedan, including streamlined instrumentation, LED lighting and hand-cut-and-sewn accents.

The brakes and tyres are taken care of by two big names in their respective fields – Brembo and Michelin – with six-piston callipers in the front and four-piston callipers in the rear housed behind Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 rubber specifically engineered for the CTS-V.

2011 Lexus LFA

Using technology developed by Toyota’s F1, Lexus was created the Future Sports Car that marks an important moment in both the history of Lexus and the development of the supercar. Constructed using advanced carbon fiber technology, the Lexus LFA is powered by aspirated V10 engine that sets new standards for compact dimensions, lightweight architecture and scintillating performance. The Lexus LFA will be hand-assembled at the Motomachi plant in Toyota City. Each V10 engine will be assembled by a single engineer, and will bear his signature as testament to each Lexus LFA’s bespoke status.

The Lexus LFA boasts class-leading aerodynamics to achieve drivetrain cooling and superb high-speed handling and stability. Extensive wind tunnel testing helped produce a wind-cheating profile with a drag coefficient of 0.31, a remarkable achievement given the degree of downforce the car creates at high speed. Airflow is precisely controlled over, under and around the car. A carbon fibre rear diffuser and flat underbody generate significant downforce, with an active rear wing, complete with a gurney flap on the leading edge, boosting the level further still.

The cabin is hand-built, with driver-focused ergonomics. The seats, upholstered in fine leather and Alcantara, provide the high level of back and side support needed in a car capable of 200mph-plus performance. The trim echoes the advanced materials used in the Lexus LFA’s construction, with exposed areas of both matt and gloss carbon fibre. Trim details are finished in brushed metal and the floor-hinged brake and throttle pedals are made of forged aluminium. As with the exterior finish, owners can choose different interior colours and details to suit personal taste.

The LFA is powered with V10 engine that produces 480Nm of torque at 6,800rpm, 90 per cent of which is available from 3,700rpm all the way to the 9,000rpm red line, thanks to Dual VVT-i technology, equal length exhaust manifolds and high-volume, 12-hole fuel injectors. This gives searing in-hear acceleration at all engine speeds and in any gear: nought to 62mph takes just 3.7 seconds and maximum speed is 202mph.

BMW 7 Series

The fifth generation of the BMW 7 Series offers, according to BMW, a brand-new interpretation of style, luxury and driving experience – and we belive they are right. Design of the new BMW 7 Series was tuned down a bit, standing for natural presence, superior sportiness and precise elegance. The features of the car are authentically visualised through its modern, progressive look, with a brand-new range of engines ensuring BMW EfficientDynamics of the highest standard.  Lightweight engineering and innovative suspension technology ensure dynamic driving qualities quite unique in the luxury class. Driver assistance systems and comfort functions exclusive to BMW set the foundation for a truly fascinating driving experience.

The all-new suspension optimising both driving dynamics and, in particular, motoring comfort: First BMW Saloon with doublearmfront axle, integral V rear axle exclusive to BMW, front and rear axles made largely of aluminium. The main design theme characterising the new BMW 7 Series is the harmonious combination of elegance and sportiness. Apart from the car’s long wheelbase, the long and sleek engine compartment lid, and the short overhang at the front, the passenger compartment moved further to the rear and the low, sleek roofline emphasis and, indeed, highlight the dynamic proportions of the new BMW 7 Series. The unusually dynamic and stretched lines of the car are therefore a clear testimony to superior sportiness and at the same time convey a powerful impression of precise elegance. The balanced harmony of these features comes out particularly clearly in the side-line of the car.

The new BMW 7 Series is entering the market with a V8 and a straight-six gasoline engine both featuring Twin Turbo technology and direct fuel injection as well as the first representative of a new generation of six-cylinder diesel engines, followed by the 12 cylinder engine. Benefiting from these drive units and the wide range of engine technologies serving to enhance the all-round standard of efficiency to an even higher level, the various modelsin the BMW 7 Series, following the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy, now also offer truly outstanding performance, fuel economy and emission management data in their respective segments. The eight-cylinder developing maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm in the BMW 750i, for example, is the most efficient engine in its performance class and the only engine of its kind worldwide with the turbochargers fitted in the V-space between the two rows of cylinders. Engine: from 3L R6 
Horsepower: from 245 bhp / PS 
Top Speed: from 152 mph (245 km/h) 
Peak torque: from 450 Nm (333 lb ft) 
Acceleration: from 0-60 mph in 7.0 sec (0-100 km/h in 7.2)

Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S

The new 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera (model code 997) comes in two power versions with engines varying in size: the “basic" 911 Carrera displacing 3.6 litres and developing maximum output of 325 bhp, and the 911 Carrera S displacing 3.8 litres and with maximum output of 355 bhp. The new 3.8-litre flat-six develops its maximum torque of 400 Newton-metres (295 lb-ft), accelerating the Carrera S in 4.8 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h and ensuring a top speed of 293 km/h or 182 mph. To cope with the extra power and performance of the new Carrera S, both 911 Coupés now come with a new six-speed manual gearbox able to convey even higher torque while reducing weight and shortening gearshift travel. Tiptronic S with an optimised gearshift program and even better shift quality is available as an alternative to this new six-speed manual gearbox. With the emergency wheel so far fitted on the bulkhead now being dropped and the bulkhead crossbar redesigned, Porsche's engineers had the opportunity to consistently update and modify the shape and configuration of the luggage compartment, which capacity is up by 5 litres to 135 litres.

Rack-and-pinion steering with variable transmission ratio The new 911 Carrera comes for the first time with rack-and-pinion steering featuring a variable transmission ratio responding even more smoothly and precisely to the driver's commands and thus enhancing the car's agility particularly on winding roads and in sharp bends. Handling in town is improved above all in parking manoeuvres and when turning, thanks to the far more spontaneous response of the steering particularly in such a situation. Powerful body with a new waistline In its design, the new Porsche 911 consistently continues the existing model line with all its features. With evolutionary restyling from front to rear, the new 911 Carrera is however even more dynamic than before, although the 911 Carrera and the 911 Carrera S differ from one another on some fine but significant points. The wider track and the slimmer, more accentuated waistline, for example, make the new model even more powerful and athletic in its look – and, of course, a lot more powerful and athletic to drive. Further striking features of the car's evolutionary design are the new headlights with separate additional headlights in the front section, the fenders and wheel arches accentuated even more strongly than before and the new double-arm rearview mirrors. The new 911 Carrera comes on new, even larger light-alloy wheels:18-inch wheels in new five-spoke design and measuring 8J x 18 at the front and 10J x 18 at the rear are standard.

PASM Porsche Active Suspension Management is available as an option on the 911 Carrera and comes as standard on the 911 Carrera S. PASM combines two suspensions in one, a sporting and comfortable set-up for long distances and a very dynamic configuration for performance driving. Compared with the standard suspension of the Carrera, PASM suspension lowers the entire car by 10 millimetres or 0.39". The normal set-up provides a more comfortable damper setting changing gradually to a sporting mode as soon as the driver adopts a more dynamic style of motoring. Particularly on long trips on the motorway the car's occupants will enjoy a far higher standard of comfort, PASM absorbing minor and medium bumps on the surface much better and more smoothly than the standard suspension. By contrast, the sports set-up activates a harder damper control map for a very agile and dynamic style of motoring, the features and qualities thus provided being quite comparable to those of an all-out sports suspension. Minimisation of body roll ensures fast lap times confirmed by numerous measurements at the German race track Nuerrburgring, where the sporting set-up serves to cut an average of 5 seconds off lap times compared with the standard suspension and 20 seconds compared to the old 911 - well, at least if your name is Walter Roehrl, the legendary Porsche test driver.

Ferrari F430 and F430 Spider

Ferrari unveiled the new F430 to the public at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 2004 and the F430 Spider in Geneva Motor Show in spring 2005 - both cars are said to be sold out until 2007. Ferrari’s presence at the Paris Mondial de l’Automobile 2004 came at an important moment for the company in what has been an extraordinary year in terms of sporting achievements. The important news was that Ferrari won the Formula 1 Constructors’ World title for the sixth consecutive year and the Formula 1 Drivers’ World title for the fifth consecutive year, courtesy of Ferrari racing driver Michael Schumacher. Ferrari has achieved these results thanks to its enormous, ongoing commitment to R&D, allowing continuous technological transfer from Formula 1 to road cars. And this technological innovations provide another leap forward with the new F430, setting new benchmarks in the sports car industry.

The Ferrari F430 signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models. This new car takes Ferrari’s extraordinary achievements with aluminium technology, begun with the 360 Modena predecessor, to a whole new level, and offers a series of extremely significant innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters. Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted switch (better known to the Formula 1 Scuderia’s drivers as “manettino”), which manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics for 5 different driving styles from "ice" to "race". The F430 Spider’s sinuous lines, designed by Pininfarina, were fine-tuned using state-of-the-art computer aerodynamics simulation programmes usually employed exclusively by the F1 team. The F430 Spider’s shape is the result of lengthy testing and features a pronounced nolder which is integrated into the end of the engine cover, new bigger rear air intakes that emphasize the car’s muscular stance, and a new rear valance that incorporates a diffuser of competition derivation.

The main characteristics of the new F430 are its light, compact 4,300 cc 90° V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the new Ferrari berlinetta with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight). The engine itself is attractively set below a glass cover. Other optional top features are: a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use as well as a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car: 0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph. This all comes with an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.
