2010 Lotus Evora S Concept Reviews and Price with Wallpaper

Following the appearance of a leaked memo that gave the game away a month earlier than its planned debut, Lotus has today revealed the 2010 Lotus Evora S Concept, a more highly-tuned version of the Evora. Joining the S spec will be the Evora IPS, fitted with an automatic transmission.

The unveiling of the Evora S follows spy photos obtained only last week, revealing the new range-topper testing in Europe, a large rear diffuser setting it apart from the regular Evora.

Driven by the same 3.5 litre engine as its stablemate, the Evora S gets its output boosted to 257.5kW and 400Nm of torque - an increase of around 52kW and 50Nm respectively.

The first all-new Lotus since the iconic Elise made its debut in 1995, The Evora enters the sports car market as currently the world's only mid-engined 2+2. Powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 280 PS, and weighing just 1350 kg (prototype specification), the Evora promises breathtaking performance. During preliminary testing around the famous Nürburgring, the Lotus chassis engineers report that it is extremely agile and great fun to drive - even when clad with the full development disguise that hid the beautiful lines from the prying motor-industry paparazzi.
The design language of the interior reflects that of the exterior - simple, fluid surfaces, soft forms and crisp feature lines wrap around the cabin cosseting the occupants. Unlike recent Lotus products that use a race car inspired, technical minimalism, the Evora employs a softer approach that utilises premium quality materials and finishes to create a contemporary but luxurious ambience that is unique to Lotus products.

It is, according to Head of Lotus Design Russell Carr, "A huge departure from what people might expect based on Lotus's recent past. We wanted the Evora's cabin to feel special and to be surprising as well as sporty. Precision engineered metal inserts and quality edge-lit switches are brilliantly juxtaposed against soft hand-stitched leather surfaces to give a modern interior with a classic twist."
The Evora S Concept will be powered by a supercharged Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 engine that will deliver a total of 350bhp and more than 300lb ft of torque. This means a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds and a top speed in excess of 172mph. However, it will be pretty hard to identify the Evora S, as it will only get a larger rear diffuser. The car is expected to be priced at £60,000 ($93,000 at the current exchange rates).

2010 Citroen DS High Rider Concept Review and Wallpapers

Citroen has released the first details on the DS High Rider Concept that will be unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. It is the second concept associated with Citroën's innovative and distinctively styled DS line.

The Citroen DS High Rider Concept represents a vision of the future, combining compact dimensions - it is 4.26m long, 1.82m wide & 1.48m high - with generous internal volumes, dynamic performance and sophisticated style.

Unlike traditional 4-seater coupes, with their long, low design, the Citroen DS High Rider Concept is compact and muscular.

Its character is expressed through a sleek flowing windscreen that soars over the heads of front occupants - hinting at a bright and spacious cabin environment.

The apparently continuous glazed area of the side windows connects the A-pillars to the gently sloping roof line of the rear.

Citroen DS High Rider Concept's profile is characterised by its high waistline and the stylish 19" alloy wheels. Its front end has gaping air intakes, long incisive headlights and defined ridges along the hood.The four seater hatch is based on the next-generation C4's platform and hardware. It measures 4.26m in length, 1.82m in width and 1.48m height, meaning it's slightly shorter but wider and taller than the current C4 Coupe.

The production model's powertrains are most likely to be borrowed from the next C4, though there's a strong possibility that we may see the concept model's 'full-hybrid' diesel-electric drivetrain that combines a HDi engine under the bonnet and an electric motor located on the rear axle being offered in the near future.

According to Citroen, both engines of the hybrid system combine to deliver additional power with additional torque transmitted to the rear wheels.

2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe Overview and Prices with Pictures

The Cadillac CTS is a mid-size luxury car manufactured by the Cadillac marque of General Motors, designed by GM concept artist Scott Wassell. It is currently available in three body styles: Sedan, Coupe, and Sport Wagon. It was introduced in 2002 as a sports sedan as the replacement for the Cadillac Catera. The release of the CTS is credited with reinvigorating the Cadillac brand. The 2010 CTS was named to the Car and Driver 10 best list for a third consecutive year with the headline "Maybe the best American car ever made".
The car's exterior was designed by Wayne Cherry and Kip Wasenko, and marked the production debut of the stealth aircraft-inspired "Art and Science" design language, which was first seen on the Evoq concept car. During the 1990s, Cadillac had attempted to capture a younger demographic with cars such as the Catera and Allanté, but the company did not achieve success until the introduction of the CTS. As part of its marketing campaign, the sedan was featured prominently in an action film, and enjoyed a warm reception from the motoring press, who have granted the car numerous awards and accolades over its lifetime.
At the 2008 North American International Auto Show, General Motors unveiled a coupe concept version of the CTS, alongside the new CTS-V performance sedan. The coupe's unveiling surprised the media and general public, stealing a great deal of attention away from the CTS-V. In November 2009, the production version was unveiled in a press release. The coupe went into production in spring 2010 for sale in August 2010 as a 2011 model. The design of the production model is very similar to the concept, with the B-pillars still removed. The standard engine will be a 3.6L direct injected V6 rated at 304 hp. Like the sedan, both 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions, in either RWD or AWD configurations, will be available. A CTS-V Coupe has also been confirmed, and was shown at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The CTS Coupe will be Cadillac's first coupe since the Eldorado, which was discontinued in 2002.
The CTS Coupe has been a long time coming. First shown in concept form nearly three years ago, the car was originally expected to be launched early 2009, but the May 2009 on-sale date was pushed back during GM's restructuring -- eventually being set for an August 2010 on-sale date.
For $38,990, the CTS Coupe comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, 18-inch alloy wheels, a performance suspension, rear parking assist, a Bose audio system, power front seats and keyless access with remote start.
The CTS Performance Collection starts at $43,430, and adds adaptive Xenon headlamps, leather upholstery, an upgraded Bose audio system and a 40 GB hard drive for music storage.

Topping the base CTS Coupe is the $47,835 CTS Coupe Premium Collection, which includes ambient lighting, navigation, a rear-view camera, ventilated front seats, a moonroof and a heated steering wheel.

2010 Buick Lacrosse Reviews and Prices with Pics

The completely redesigned 2010 Buick LaCrosse luxury sedan is the newest example of the globally influenced product renaissance at Buick. It offers all-wheel drive, a suite of advanced intelligent personal technologies and safety features, as well as three efficient, powerful engines.

“The new LaCrosse builds on the success of Enclave as the next step in Buick’s renaissance and great attention to detail, craftsmanship and advanced technology,” said Susan Docherty, Buick-Pontiac-GMC vice president. “It offers unique features such as all-wheel drive and a new, efficient four-cylinder engine that will attract new customers to Buick.”

The Buick LaCrosse is a large luxury sedan and the flagship model of the Buick brand. Heavily redesigned inside and out for 2010 onward, the car has a starting price of $26,995. The LaCrosse is sold in the United States and China, and was developed with both markets in mind.

The entry-level model for the LaCrosse is the CX, and features a direct-injected version of GM's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder Ecotec motor, generating 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. This entry-level model also promises to deliver up to 30 mpg highway thanks in part to its six-speed automatic transmission.

The mid-level CX model features front-wheel-drive and a 255 horsepower V6 motor. The CXL, which features a leather interior and more luxury features, is slightly more expensive at $30,395. All-wheel-drive is a $2,175 option. The range-topping CXS features AWD standard, plus a more powerful 280 hp V6.

In terms of exterior design, the Lacrosse builds on the theme established by the Enclave crossover. Buick has relocated its signature portholes from the front fender to the hood — a seemingly more functional location. Most of the other details follow Buick's latest design language, including the 'waterfall' grille and smooth sculpted surfaces.

The 2010 LaCrosse is offered in three models - CX, CXL and CXS: • CX – equipped at the start of production with a new 3.0L direct injection V-6, premium cloth seats and 17-inch wheels. The 3.0L engine generates 255 horsepower (190 kW) and 217 lb.-ft. of torque (294 Nm) and has a six-speed automatic transmission. Later this year, a new, 2.4L Ecotec four-cylinder replaces the 3.0L as the standard engine. • CXL – also equipped with the new 3.0L direct injection V-6, adds leather-appointed heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lamps, outside rearview mirror with LED turn indicators and puddle lamps, and 18-inch alloy wheels. An advanced, intelligent AWD system is available. • CXS – equipped with a 3.6L direct injection V-6; real-time active-dampening suspension (optional); perforated, leather-appointed, heated and ventilated seats, and chrome-plated 18-inch alloy wheels (19-inch optional). The 3.6L engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, generates 280 horsepower (209 kW) and 259 lb.-ft. of torque (351 Nm).
