For the coming 2009 season, Aston Martin Racing has turned to Hella for reliable illumination needs as far as their headlights is concerned. Already an established brand in the world of car lighting needs, Aston Martin Racing will be equipped with Xenon headlights for the duration of various events which include the Le Mans racing series.

“Aston Martin’s use of Hella headlights in the demanding Le Mans series and the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans says a great deal about the quality of our lighting technology,” said Visconti. “Their choice also is a good recommendation for all drivers.”

Hella’s lighting system consists of the Rallye 1000 FF spotlights, 90 mm xenon modules and LED side marker lights.

Hence, whether for racing needs or rational consumer driving, Hella is your brand. It has proven its quality visual aids for some time now and will continue to do so.

In what many are comparing to the 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe promises a lot of new features for car enthusiasts looking for affordable and feature-filled cars in the market. It’s the companion to the Hyundai Genesis sedan, a credible car in its own right that was voted 2009 North American Car of the Year by automotive journalists. But you aren’t apt to get the two mixed up. The sedan is a refined family vehicle.

The two-door, in contrast, is sleekly low slung with race car-like styling and two choices of engines, a 2.0-liter turbo four cylinder generating 218 horsepower and a 3.8-liter V6 churning out 306 hp.

The 2.0-liter model starts at $22,000 and is priced around $25,000 with options. The limited edition 3.8-liter version starts at $29,875 and can run with extras up to $32,000 or so. According to Zarres, it is the lowest priced rear wheel drive car in America with more than 300 hp.

The V6 has a six-speed transmission with clutchless manual feature, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, 18 inch alloy wheels, leather seats, xenon headlights and power locks and windows standard. There’s also a host of accessories and safety features, including backup warning system, anti-lock braking, electronic stability control and Bluetooth-enabled hands free phone.

The Genesis coupe likely will replace the Tiburon, which has been Hyundai’s sportier model.
