BMW X5 Typhoon Black Pearl

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

BMW X5 Typhoon Black PearlSpending over €300,000 to make a crossover-utility vehicle go faster may sound absurd but that is the price to pay for such a demand. This was actually applied to a BMW X5 titled the Typhoon Black Pearl by G-Power. And for that price, you may be amazed at the power it now has. It can power from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and do a top speed in excess of 300 km/h.

The power generated by the Typhoon Black Pearl is all thanks to a supercharger and new intake, exhaust, pistons and an engine control unit. These were all fitted in the BMW X5’s 4.8 liter V8 engine which now produces a crazy 625HP. Top it all off with 23” wheels and you get one hell of a monstrous vehicle to handle.

Personalized Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta Built

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Ferrari has unveiled a second made-to-order car for Edward Walson, son of Cable TV inventor John Walson. Walson first approached Ferrari in 2008 and wanted a modern interpretation of a 599 GTB Fiorano which was shown at the 1968 Fellini film Toby Dammit. And he got just that in the form of a gold-colored Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta.

The special car is street-legal and took 14 months to complete. It comes loaded with 612HP and a 6.0 liter V12 engine. The car weighs only 44 pounds thanks to the use of extensive carbon fibers. The price for the production of the Ferrari P540 Aperta was not disclosed.

Second Gen Nissan X-Trail Coming to Thailand

Friday, November 13th, 2009

To most of us who have seen the Nissan X-Trail already, this piece of news should not be confused for a new version. Rather, the second generation Nissan X-Trail is a dead ringer for the old one although it comes with a revamped interior and the instrumentation panel has been repositioned to be in the usual driver’s side. This second generation Nissan X-Trail will make its debut at Thailand, coming with a 2.0 liter engine, an XTRONIC CVT transmission aided by a 6 speed manual transmission. From the looks of it, Nissan may be spreading the Nissan X-Trail in other parts of Asia, with Malaysia probably being the next stop. The new batch of Nissan SUVs will be coming from Indonesia.
