Mini Coupe

Fifty years ago today, the first classic Mini was presented to the public. To celebrate this milestone, the company has released images of its 2009 Mini Coupe which it will be presenting at the Frankfurt Motor Show from 17-27 September, 2009.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Edition

With 9,000 models produced, the latest Gallardo is Lamborghini's most successful model of all time, much of it thanks to Valentino’s Balboni hard work. Balboni has been the officially Lamborghini test driver since 1967 test driving all of the companies prototypes since, including the Diablo, Murcielago and Gallardo. This means that Valentino has logged more miles behind the wheel of more Lamborghinis than anybody in history. To celebrate Balboni’s carreer, Automobili Lamborghini has presented a model that bears his name – The Gallardo LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni. The 550 stands for the power output in hp and the 2 is for rear wheel drive. With its 5.2 litre ten-cylinder 550hp engine and weighing 1,380 kilograms, the LP 550-2 is capable of going 0 to 100 km/h (0-62mph) in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph) ranking it among the top super sports cars in the world. Limited to 250 units.

Ferrari 458

Replacing the outgoing Ferrari F430, the 458 Italia represents Ferrari’s latest engineering conquest. The mid-engined 4.5L V8 enjoys power increases over its predecessor as factory numbers point to outputs of 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque with the majority of the pull available at 3,250 rpm. The relatively lightweight aluminum chassis results in a 3,042 lbs dry weight with performance numbers suggesting 0-62 mph sprints of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph. The 458 Italia is the first Ferrari V8 to break the 200 mph mark. The car will be officially unveiled in September of this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
