2008 Audi R8

So what do you do when you have a $109,000 burning a hole in your pocket? You buy what just may be the best sports car around today. The 2008 stylish Audi R8!

In this case, $109k buys you a unique style and power that rivals every other sports car on the market today, including the V8 Ferrari F430.

The appearance of the new Audi R8 is that of an ultimate sports car. Sleek lines, a wide body, and a low stance make this highway rocket the new bully on the block. The bully is a show-off as well. One of its most unique features is the engine under glass. That’s right; the engine sits behind the driver and is visible through a transparent cover and is lit by LED lighting. Does it get any better than this?

Another stand-out is the Alcantara leather seats. The bucket seats become more comfortable the longer you’re in them. They do make getting in and out of this low-riding sport car less troublesome. Ok, not really but once you’re in this head turner, you’ll forget about the difficulties of getting in and out of the vehicle.

Two other noticeable plusses for the cockpit are the flat-bottomed steering wheel that allows the driver plenty of much needed knee room in most sports cars and the digital speed readout between the tach and speedometer.

If you love a high revving engine you’ll be in deeper Heaven with this automobile as well. Although the R-Tronic transmission (available in the $118k model) works most effective in the track, it is street-smart as well but does have noticeable jerkiness in shifting. Obviously with this car the faster it shifts the better it rides. This rocket blasts off from 0-60 mph in less than 4.5 seconds. Nice!

If you’ve ever thought that of an Audi as an overpriced Volkswagen you’ll change your mind after taking flight in this exotic R8 that reaches speeds of 185 mph.

Cadillac CTS Coupe

The design of the Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept is powerfully dramatic and sleek. The Coupe Concept is a natural extension of the CTS Sedan itself. The CTS Coupe casts a profile unlike any other vehicle on the roads today. With hand-sculpted bodywork that bulges around the wheels, it gives the CTS Coupe a ready-to-pounce stance.

The signature design elements suggest those of a carefully cut diamond. The design elements are evident form the chrome header above the rear license plate holder to the indents that make up the basic form of the rear fascia. The interior features black leather and micro fiber trim that is perfectly complemented by yellow ochre-colored seat inserts and leather stitching. It can be accurately acclaimed that no compromises were made in the stylish design of the Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept.

Buick Riviera

The Buick Riviera is a concept coupe that was developed with global design input by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, a design and engineering joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

Capturing the essence of classic Buicks, its tightly stretched carbon fiber body panels, combination of positive and negative curves, and gull-wing doors sets the stage for a grand launch of the next generation of Buicks. The Riviera sports awesome curves and interior tones of “earth and water” adorn the high-quality bucket seats. The new Riviera communicates universal beauty and a look that transcends cultural and national boundaries.
