The Maserati Granturismo Launch At ONE 15 ' Marina Club

 

The Maserati GranTurismo is a classic touring coupe with modern styling that gives the famed Italian marque a true grand touring car. Suitable for everyday use, the Gran Turismo delivers excellent handling, a very sporty feel and a thrilling drive.

Designed by Pininfarina, the handsome coupe is not a full four-seater but there is room in back for two kids or two flexible and tolerant adults. The GranTurismo is not just show and no go. Powered by the classic Maserati 4.2-liter V8, it delivers 405 horsepower and a widely spread 339 lb-ft of torque. Top speed is reported to be 178 mph with 0-62 mph expected in 5.2 seconds.

 

The Gran Turismo offers the long-legged refinement and reserve to go with the more than usually descriptive name.

New C-Class launch at Oosh@Dempsey Rd on 27/7

 

Mercedes-Benz started testing on the new W204 C-class quite a long time ago (in the summer of 2003), and for good reason. The outgoing C-class was never a real competitor to the BMW 3-series, being plagued with poor interior materials, a small stature, and disappointing engines. This new model has seen hundreds of thousands of test miles in Germany, Finland, Dubai, Namibia, and some other places, including the digital world. The 2008 C-class is the first car based on a completely virtual prototype, created with 2130 gigabytes of information.

 

The new C-class resembles a scaled-down (and tamer) S-class, and a version of that car's dial-operated COMAND entertainment system will be available. European buyers will get their choice of multiple diesel engines, as well as 156- and 184-horsepower supercharged four-cylinder gas burners, named C180 Kompressor and C200 Kompressor, respectively. Three gasoline V-6 engines will be available: a 204-hp C230, a 231-hp C280, and a 272-hp C350. We expect only the two most powerful engines in the U.S. The latter is the same 3.5-liter found in the ML, E, SLK, and a number of other models. We also expect a detuned version of AMG's 6.2-liter V-8 to find its way beneath the hood of a C63 AMG model. Mercedes-Benz has been hyping the amount of work put into this car for months
