Abt Sportsline, the largest tuner for the Volkswagen of automobiles, has recently announced Abt R8, a new tweaked coupe to face off against the Maranello F430, Porsche's 911 Turbo, and it's blood rival, the Lamborghini Gallardo.  A carbon fiber hood covers up one of the sexiest V8s around--a 4.2 liter Abt supercharged powerplant.  Power output after the forced induction treatment tops out a 530hp!  The famous Audi all-wheel drive system pounds the 20-inch wheels into submission and forces them to move the car from 0 to 60 in less than 3.9 seconds and onward to a top speed of almost 200mph.  A state of the art adjustable racing suspension will also be added to the R8, so the pilot may adjust height, pressure, and flex for the road ahead.  This masterpiece is set to launch this fall and that seems like an eternity away from present, after seeing just how beautiful this car is.

It’s finally here! The 2008 BMW M3 Coupe was debuted at the New York Auto Show.  Featuring the M3’s first V8 engine ever it is guaranteed to make quite an impression in the automotive world.

Undoubtedly one of the coolest, most brutal, and yet, most elegant sports sedans ever created, the Audi RS4 has been named the world performance car of the year for 2007.  The RS4 beat out 17 other cars to take the top prize, including the Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and the BMW 335i.   

Ford showed off its latest offering to the concept world recently at the New York Auto Show.  Its body shape seems to be a cross between the Expedition and an LTD station wagon from the 80s.  Styling doesn't seem to play as much of a role as functionality in today's car buying world, so Ford shouldn't have a hard time selling the Flex if they decide to produce it due to all the great features it provides.

It is fun to look back and see the progression of automotive trends aimed at young car buyers over the last 50 years.  In the 60's, it was huge boats with even bigger engines.  Today, in the age of Hollywood movies, rock music, and three-dollar-a-gallon gas, the audience craves a completely different car.  The Chevy Beat Concept appears to be aimed specifically at the young crowd, with its small exterior, great gas mileage, and large interior. 

The New York Auto Show always brings great things to the automotive industry, and Nissan has taken this one step further with this years offering.  A Nismo tuned 350Z sports coupe.

Every child of the 80's at this moment is ripping off their couch cushions, scrounging up all the change they can find, trying to raise enough money to purchase their dream car.  Knight Industries Two Thousand, or K.I.T.T, the star of the hit TV show Knight Rider, is up for sale for the low price of $149,995. 

Trying to stay on top of the sport compact sedan class, Subaru has debuted its next generation Subaru WRX sedan and Wagon at the New York Auto Show.  The car has already received some bad press due to a cover shot on Motor Trend Magazine before the show.  It will be interesting to see the public's reaction to the new design.      

Edmunds.com recently got their hands on the all new 2008 Infinity G37 Coupe that is set to debut on August 21 of this year.  The G37 Coupe, the successor to the G35 Coupe, is Infinity's response to the BMW 335i that seems to be selling like hotcakes.  The 3-series BMW has been a top seller for a number of years, and Infinity has set their sites on knocking them off the pedestal.
