Koenigsegg CCX






The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined sports car built by Koenigsegg Automotive AB.  Koenigsegg CCX  the project began with the aim of making a global car, designed and engineered to comply with global safety and environment regulations, particularly to enter the United States car market.[1]To sell cars in the US many alterations were made to the design
of the CCR; the previously used Ford Modular engine was replaced by a Koenigsegg CCX engine designed to run on 91 octane fuel, readily available in the United States, and to meet the Californian emission standards.The name Koenigsegg CCX  is an  abbreviation  for Competition Coupé X, the X commemorating the 10th anniversary (X being the Roman 


numeral for ten) of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in1996. The  Koenigsegg CCX was unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, sporting body modifications to meet US regulations and a new 4.7 L twin supercharged V8 engine capable of producing 806 PS (593 kW; 795 hp) at 7000 rpm and 920 N·m (679 lb·ft) at 5700 rpm of torque while running on 91 octane gasoline. There were 14  Koenigsegg CCX  produced between 2006 and 2010.

The new engine of Koenigsegg CCX is of all aluminum construction, made out of 356 aluminum with a T7 heat treat to further  Koenigsegg CCX enhance block integrity and cylinder bore chill during casting. Specifically created and cast for Koenigsegg by Grainger & Worrall, a casting specialist with Formul 1
 experience in drivetrain components, the engine is built, assembled and tested at their Ängelholm production plant The Koenigsegg CCX engine is lubricated with a dry sump system with a separate oil pump and the pistons are cooled by means of an internal cooler that sprays oil onto them. Koenigsegg CCX in order to run high cylinder pressure with 91 octane fuel making it capable of 14 mpg (17 l/100 km) in combined cycle and 18 mpg (13 l/100 km) in highway travel.

Mustang Ford 


There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Mustang Ford  meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission.Mustang Ford is a good car model  During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more

than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel Mustang Ford entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier  Mustang Ford GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Mustang Ford  V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly Mustang Ford GT?



Mustang Ford



The Mustang Ford shown in these photographs differs from the model we reviewed.The Mustang Ford  review model was a 2013 V6 Coupe Premium, while the pictured model is a 2013 V6 Coupe with the optional Performance Package. We regret the discrepancy, but circumstances left us with only this model to shoot.The look falters a bit at the tail where the lines seem to lose their pointed sense of purpose.Mustang Ford pulled the wraps off the most recent version of its Mustang Ford last year, and the tweaks are wearing well. Up front, the two-door features a scowling fascia dominated by a vertical grille and contoured hood line.Mustang Ford LED daytime running lights give the car a touch of premium, as do the optional 18-inch wheels of our tester (the Performance Package adds 19-inch wheels as seen in these photos). At 188.5 inches long, the Mustang Ford is a big car, and its hefty proportions mean even those stocky rollers look smallish on this machine thanks to sizable fender gaps. We could do with about half an inch less ride height.


Mustang Ford



Mustang Ford while we're generally fans of the Mustang Ford's design, the look falters a bit at the tail for us, where the lines seem to lose their pointed sense of purpose presented by that long, expressive nose. To our eyes, the Mustang Ford suffers from an unnaturally tall trunk deck, and the result is something of a cliff face out back. Fortunately, designers have broken up the slab with a gloss-black panel tucked between the two taillamps. Mustang Ford lights feature all sorts of LED wizardry, including hidden reverse lamps and clever sequential turn indicators. Sure, engineers lifted the trick from Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar models of old, but seeing the lamps in action never fails to grab a reaction from onlookers in traffic. If everyone's indicators were this cool, drivers might be more inclined to use them.

Alfa Romeo 8c,


Alfa Romeo 8C

The wait is finally over and Alfa Romeo 8c has a supercar fit for the premier league We’re used to Italian exotics from Ferrari and Lamborghini, but Alfa Romeo 8c now plans to push upmarket – and it’s created this stunning machine to spearhead the exclusive assault.
The Alfa Romeo 8c  Competizione is a sports coupé with searing performance, sensational styling... and a £100,000 price tag. Originally debuting in concept form at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the car is ready to order for delivery in a year’s time. And to see what those lucky buyers can expect, Auto Express was first to get behind the wheel.



When Alfa Romeo 8c took the wraps off the Alfa Romeo 8c, few people thought it would make production unchanged. But, as you can see here – and as visitors discovered at last week’s Paris Motor Show – it retains all the concept’s amazing details.
Alfa Romeo 8c At the front, the gaping air intakes and fared-in headlights give a really aggressive look, and they’re matched for visual drama only by the quad exhaust pipes and twin circular tail-lights at the rear. Alfa Romeo 8c the classic sports car shape, with a long bonnet and short tail, that’s the real star feature. It’s been made possible by an aerodynamic undertray which sucks the model down on to the road at speed, doing away with the need for ugly wings and spoilers.
Alfa Romeo 8c the body itself is bang up-to-date, too, being made of carbon fibre on a steel spaceframe chassis. Sitting well behind the front axle virtually in the middle of the car is the Alfa Romeo 8c’s heart – a 450bhp 4.7-litre V8, which is shared with the forthcoming Maserati Coupé. The two models will be built on the same production line in Modena, Italy.
Just like Alfas of the past, the gearbox and differential are mounted toge-ther at the rear, helping to give the Alfa Romeo 8c perfect 50:50 weight distribution. The suspension is double wishbone all-round, while huge vented Brembo disc brakes hide behind the 20-inch alloys.


Alfa Romeo 8C

Inside, the cabin is classic Alfa Romeo 8c, with twin cowls for the speedo and rev counter, plus a simple facia with carbon fibre trim. The shell-type racing seats, also carbon fibre, are clad in the luxurious leather used by Ferrari.
Our model was one of the first Alfa Romeo 8c prototypes, and was fitted with a conventional six-speed manual box. Cus­tomer cars will use a semi-automatic version, which will allow the driver to change gear via the steering wheel-mounted paddles. With some chassis fine-tuning still to be done, our drive was brief, but it’s obvious that the Alfa Romeo 8cis a true Italian sports car.
The V8 roars into life at a push of the starter button, revving angrily and noisily like a thoroughbred racer. Stab the throttle and the 470Nm of torque has no trouble launching the 1,400kg car away from the line. Alfa says it’ll do 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 190mph – and from the driver’s seat, it certainly feels savagely fast.
Backing up this huge acceleration are rock-solid brakes, which slow the Alfa Romeo 8c as if you’ve hit a wall. And while we couldn’t quite put the Alfa through its paces in corners, the steering is alive with feel even at low speed. The stiff suspension offers immediate responses, promising a truly involving drive.
Is there a downside to the Alfa Romeo 8c? Just one: the fact only 500 models will be built. If you have this kind of cash, we’d advise you to get in the queue now!
