ford luxury car sport car

Pure exhilaration

The Shelby GT350® is engineered for adrenaline-pumping performance. Its 5.2L V8 with flat-plane crank kicks out 526 hp and 429 lb.-ft. of torque and is one of four Mustang engine choices - all designed to overwhelm the senses with pulse-raising torque and a legendary roar. So buckle in and put your hands on the wheel of a Mustang and you'll feel one thing above everything else: pure exhilaration.

Four engines. One soul

Fasten your safety belts. Each engine delivers at least 300 horsepower. The 3.7L V6 offers up 300 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, standard on V6 Fastback model. The 2.3L EcoBoost® engines churns out 310 hp* and 320 lb.-ft. of torque,* standard on EcoBoost© and EcoBoost Premium models. The 5.0L V8 kicks out 435 hp* and 400 lb.-ft. of torque,* standard on GT and GT Premium models. And the 5.2L V8 delivers 526 hp and 429 lb.-ft. of torque, standard on the Shelby GT350©.

Skip the straight and narrow

The 2017 Ford Mustang features an integral link independent rear suspension that helps minimize body roll and isolate road imperfections for a responsive ride and precise handling. Aluminum-alloy rear knuckles and H-arms help reduce unsprung mass. So Mustang has twice as much anti-squat and nearly 10 times the amount of anti-lift for better pitch control during hard acceleration and braking compared to the previous generation.

Unmistakably Mustang

Modeled after the classic Mustang fastback - with its sleek, sporty aerodynamic look - every 2017 Mustang has standard HID headlamps and signature LED tri-bar taillamps with sequential turn signals. Dual exhaust pipes are standard on all models and air extractor hood vents are standard on GT models. And to match your own unique style, Mustang offers a long list of options, including 12 available wheel designs from 17 inches to 20 inches.

The First Look of 2018 Lexus LS

The First Look of 2018 Lexus LS

lexus Luxury cars Sedan

With the ambitiously redesigned 2018 Lexus LS, that's no longer the case. When it goes on sale in February 2018, can the new 2018 LS surprise and delight buyers who are new to the brand without alienating loyal Lexus buyers?

The bolder 2018 Lexus LS tries harder to earn its flagship-sedan title with unique interior details, better dynamics, more interior space, and improved proportions that visually distinguish it from the brand's smaller sedans. Now offered in one long-wheelbase size, the car includes LS 500 (V-6) and LS 500h (V-6 hybrid) models, both with standard rear-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive. 

Don't discount the 2018 LS 500 just because it's powered by a six-cylinder engine—this twin-turbo V-6 easily outpowers the outgoing V-8, with 416 hp at 6,000 rpm and 442 lb-ft of torque from 1,600-4,800 rpm. Acceleration from 0-60 mph comes in a manufacturer-estimated 4.6 seconds for the LS 500 or 5.1-5.2 seconds with the LS 500h hybrid. The LS 500's 10-speed automatic transmission is responsive after a slight delay, with smooth but not imperceptible shifts. The LS 500h is also responsive, though the hybrid powertrain—which produces a combined-system 354 hp—whines quietly in its sport modes.

About those sport modes—all Lexus LS cars have multiple driving modes that are easily activated by twisting a small stalk just above the instrument cluster. Even without twisting over to the eco mode, the quicker 2018 LS is also more efficient than the 2017 LS 460, with the 2018 LS 500 anticipated to receive fuel economy ratings of 19/29 mpg city/highway with rear-wheel drive and 18/27 mpg with all-wheel drive. Not surprisingly, the LS 500h is also more efficient than its eight-cylinder predecessor, with 25/33 mpg in rear-drive form and 23/31 mpg with all-wheel drive.

2018 Aston Martin DB11 V8 First Drive The First Look

2018 Aston Martin DB11 V8 First Drive The First Look

Aston Marten Luxury cars Sedan sport car

The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 V8 has four fewer cylinders, develops 97 hp less, and its torque output falls short by 18 lb-ft. And it's the better car for it.

The DB11 V8 looks virtually identical to its gorgeous V12 powered sibling. But under that thrusting hood is one of our favorite engines—the thundering 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 developed by AMG, whose parent company, Daimler, owns a 5 percent stake in Aston Martin. Codenamed M178, this engine is a versatile yet charismatic workhorse, powering all versions of the AMG GT coupe, as well as the 63-series AMG versions of Mercedes sedans, coupes, wagons, and SUVs, with outputs ranging from 469 hp to more than 600 hp.

In DB11 trim the engine makes 503 hp and 498 lb-ft of torque, about the same output it delivers when fitted in the Mercedes-AMG GT S coupe. Changes made by Aston engineers include a new intake system, new engine mounts, a new slim-line wet sump, unique engine mapping, and a new exhaust system. Aston claims the DB11 V8 will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 187 mph.

The DB11 V8 is a tenth or two slower to 60 than its 12-cylinder sibling, and it won't hit 200 mph. And none of that matters because for the overwhelming majority of DB11 owners, those are utterly abstract numbers. What does matter is the M178 reduces the weight over the DB11's front axle by 253 pounds when compared with Aston's own 5.2-liter twin-turbo V-12. It matters because you can feel it every day.

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 (Ti Sport AWD) The Look

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 (Ti Sport AWD) The Look

Alfa Romeo Luxury cars SUV

When you heard Alfa Romeo was building an SUV, you expected it to be a one-trick cavallino, but when you saw it, you were convinced it would be just a jacked-up Giulia, not a Jeep.

Alfa Romeo makes sports cars. Always has. It wasn't unreasonable, then, to assume such a company hopping on the SUV bandwagon would build the sports car of SUVs, the Alfa Romeo of SUVs. You're right. They did. But they also built something much more.

For a four-cylinder premium SUV, it's pretty potent. The Stelvio is quicker than every other four-cylinder SUV in its class, even the twin-charged XC60 T6 (and tied with the twin-charged and electrified T8). The GLC300, the X3 xDrive 28i, the Q5—they're all slower. In fact, the Stelvio is even quicker than some of the V-6 competition such as the XT5, the RDX, and the RX 350 F-Sport. Turbocharging your six won't save you, either, unless you're serious about it. The Stelvio is quicker than the Levante Q4 and the MKX EcoBoost.

The Stelvio is everything we've come to expect from an Italian car. It's shamelessly good-looking and drives with a passion normally reserved for expensive sports cars, but it's got quirks you're going to have to be willing to put up with. As always, they seem to be the price of the passion, even in 2017 when we probably should've moved past such things.

Below is the specification of 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 (Ti Sport AWD):

Chevrolet Impala vs. Chevrolet Malibu: Which Chevy Sedan Is Right for You?

Chevrolet Impala vs. Chevrolet Malibu: Which Chevy Sedan Is Right for You?

Chevrolet Chevrolet Impala Chevrolet Malibu Luxury cars Sedan

If you’re shopping for a sedan, you’ve probably taken a look at Chevrolet’s midsize Malibu and large Impala. These value-oriented models are well-rounded choices for buyers who prioritize practicality. The Malibu and Impala are most often cross-shopped against rivals in their respective classes. We provide you a few pictures of them as reverences for you to choose or decide to buy, but off course it's enough only to see through the pictures, you need to see those cars physically.

The reviews of these 2018 Chevy models reveal that they have more in common than not, and some of the categories on the following slides were a tough call.

Though both cars are priced competitively within their classes, the midsize Malibu comes in at a base price of $21,680, while the large Impala starts at $27,895. Potential buyers of both cars should consider skipping the base model and looking instead at the mid-range trim, which provides a good list of features for a modest upcharge.

Here below are the pictures of Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Malibu:

The New Design of BMW Z4 Concept And BMW Concept 8

The New Design of BMW Z4 Concept And BMW Concept 8

BMW Luxury cars Sedan sport car

BMW Z4 Concept

This represents a surprising reversion to the "motorboat" front end Michelotti created for the 1500-1800 Neue Klasse cars in the early '60s. Management was convinced it was dangerous to change that look, and despite desperate pleas from Bracq for more aerodynamic shapes, it held for decades. To see it return is a nod to Mercedes chief designer Gorden Wagener, who reverted to it on the last S-Class to lengthen the hood.

There are still four headlamps, but they're not round anymore. It's about time. In pure profile, this fender line is of surpassing elegance. Surfaces outboard are a bit of a puzzle, though. The painted part of the outer air inlet is broken into five straight elements, open toward the center of the Z4 nose, with the central scoop edges filling the open end. A slight crease, seemingly the origin of the base line growing out of the fender below the side slash and curving up the side. The central scoop tends to evoke cow catchers on steam locomotives in the Old West. In black it looks agricultural, more like a grain scoop than a car part.

BMW Concept 8

Shades of Buick's 1950 bumper-grille front end. And the vertical bar texture also looks more Buick than BMW. Sic transit gloria mundi. For pedestrian safety requires a fairly full profile to clear internals, but this is a puffy centerline profile. It's hard to grasp why it's so high so far forward. As with the Z4, the four headlamps remain, but they are no longer round.

A vestigial indication of a separate rear fender form, refreshingly subtle and modeled well. A hard horizontal bar bisects the outer-corner air-scoop box form. Here the center scoop diagonal edges are inclined in opposition to those of the Z4. Having the model identification at the bottom of the front end is a bit odd but original, for what it's worth.

Both cars share a bad idea from the past. Comprehensive Air Force studies have shown that having gauge needles operating in opposing directions within the same narrow field of view reduces operator comprehension and slows reaction time. This reversion to old ideas in order to seem new may be an endemic corporate philosophical weakness. Remember how silly the central-dial instrument panel—like a 1948 VW—was in the Z8?

Here are below the look of The New Design of BMW Z4 Concept And BMW Concept 8 so you can see the differences between two type these vehicles.
