Jaguar Goes Into a New Direction
Jaguar's business has not been going well for the past 10 years, so they have decided to go into a new direction. The 2009 Jaguar XF a 4 seated luxury sports car, the exterior is a sporty, muscular and dynamic which was inspired by the XK. The interior maximizes the feeling of space, at same time making it a sports car. The new XF is a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design language, with a driving experience that exceeds expectations created by the striking appearance: relaxed and confident, with outstanding ability and control. I believe the XF will help Jaguar's to grow in a better direction.

2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
The Cayenne Turbo has always been on my good side. It is one of the SUV's that I like best, it comes second on my list after the BMW X5. The 2008 Cayenne has a new design, with a larger but more efficient engine. It feels better and more expensive than the X5, but less sporty. It has a twin-turbocharged 4.8 liter engine that produces 500 horsepower and 516 torque. And goes from a standing start to 60 miles per hour in just 4.9 seconds. Top speed on the test track has been recorded at 171 mph.

Lamborghini Reventon Arrives in Las Vegas
Sometimes people say the best gifts come in small packages. We beg to differ, because if someone were to deliver us the big 'ol box you see above, we'd probably think it was the best gift ever. In that box is Lamborghini Reventon number one of twenty. Apparently, it's the only example which will be sold privately via a traditional dealership -- in this case, Lamborghini of Las Vegas. The other nineteen were all spoken for before ever leaving the factory. If you're a Zsports Cars reader vacationing in Vegas, you know what to do if you jackpot one of those hundred-dollar slots.

2006 Gumpert Apollo
Once the son of the god of war Zeus, responsible for the victory and the template for masculine beauty, he is now the namesake of the breathtakingly uncompromising super sports car that combines aesthetics and function like no other.
The Gumpert Apollo is the perfect synthesis of a road vehicle and track car. It evokes passion and driving pleasure beyond all expectations. With 650 bhp, 224 mph top speed and acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in just 3 seconds, you would have to go a long way to find an alternative to Apollo. The complete package is available in a cost-benefit ratio that cannot be matched in this exclusive vehicle class. As a pure high-performance sports car with racing qualities that is also approved for use on the road, the Gumpert Apollo sets new standards.

New Ferrari California revealed: a hugely versatile, innovation-packed GT
Maranello, May 13th 2008 - The first official photographs have been published of the Ferrari California, the latest addition to the new generation of Ferraris launched in 2004 with the 612 Scaglietti and added to more recently with the 430 Scuderia.
2001 Lamborghini VT
Do you feel that a Ferrari is too soft, too civilized for you? Then go for a Lamborghini Diablo. The historic Italian marque keeps producing a car as cars were meant to be until some years ago. The Diablo is an object of desire, a car that speaks to its owner's heart more than any other car on production today (remember that Ferrari F50 and McLaren F1 are not produced anymore).
You can't really understand the size of a Diablo until you actually see one on the road and you surely can't understand the feel of a Lamborghini Diablo until you actually drive it. It makes more noise than you can imagine, yet, the sound of its V12 can instantly stir you up, it is more impractical than anything else you have seen in your life, yet still it is irresistible.
Many versions have been spawn off the original Diablo with the latest 2001 VT getting a 550bhp engine.

All in all it's simple enough: This is probably the last supercar as supercars ought to be.

2006 Ariel Atom
Okay, if you are to scared to drive a motorcycle what do you get, if you went to have the thrill of a motorcycle what do you get, the Ariel Atom of course. It is one of the fastest most fun cars ever made, and it feels like a motorcycle. It performs like a race car and is legal in the U.S. which is very important, because then it would be no fun if we could not drive it here in America. When you drive the Ariel Atom you can see for your self how the driver train works, you can see .at the side of the car how you push the acceleration pedal and how the arms turn the wheels. The Ariel Atom is one fast vehicle, faster than a Bugatti off the start but not at the top speed. The Atom does 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph, and it has no front shield so be prepared for all the flies and bugs going into your face and teeth.
