Now along with the LEAF and also potential world car of the year winner is the new Audi A8 and BMW 5 series. We hope that all the fancy-ness of the A8 will take it to top spot. Now its not that we are against the LEAF, we think that electric power is the past and that Hydrogen-full-cell should get a move on. We hate the ugliness of the BMW. The A8 is perfect.

Bigger news is that Range Rover has given in, They announced the Range_e, which is based on the Range Rover sport with a 3.0 liter V6, but this time the V6 has an electric engine that comes with, making the Range Rover a Hybrid.

The luxury car brand has felt the blow in these times with petrol being hated so much so they put that saying into use, "If you can't beat them, Join'em." So Rolls Royce now has a fully electric Phantom.

New Audi A8, Luxury dream.
Welcome to the new Audi A8
Audi say that this is the “art of progress”. We really have to agree, by the look of things Audi might just have out done themselves with the A8, they might have even taken over the role of the Mercedes-Benz S-class.
Audi have focused there technology around seven main points to bring you a full luxury experience. 4-zone automatic air conditioning; seat comfort; Audi space frame; gearboxes; Audi drive select; Quattro-drive with sports differential and dynamic steering.
Put all these seven elements together and we have one of the best luxury cars around.
The A8 comes with three engines; 3.0T; 4.2 V8 FSI and 4.2 TDI. Since we like petrol rather then diesel lets focus on the 4.2 V8 FSI.
273Kw
445nm of torque
0>100km/h 5.7s
Let’s talk price. If you want an A8 4.2 V8 FSI with no extras, we are looking at a price of about R1,105,905.00.
Now I know that’s quite pricy but look at it like this, if you had one, no one will ever turn you down from a business deal because the A8 means business. You can drive the A8 and enjoy it. It won’t just be a get you to work car, it will be you everything car.
Unfortunately the Mercedes-Benz S-class still leads in our books. Audi have great things but just not enough to win us over and beat the S-class.

THE COUNT DOWN HAS BEGUN!
2011 Is around the corner and what a fantastic year it was. For cars as well. A look back at the year and we realize that the future for motoring is actually getting brighter even tho the earth is getting hotter. The speeds we know today will be walking pace compared to the speeds we will know in the future. Assuming that the Hydrogen-fuel-cell takes over.
What a blessed year we have had! 2010 Feel it, Its gone.
We will have our car of the year award as soon as we finally agree on what was the best car of 2010. Till then we wish you a very happy new year!

The ultimate driving machine.
Now many of us always wonder what is the perfect car to have. Well we have also thought long and hard about that and can gladly tell you what we think is the, ultimate driving machine.
The answer is so easily justified just by the manufacturer name... Yes its a Ferrari. Not just any old prancing horse. The Ferrari F430.
It does everything better then everything else. Its that simple. Now you might be wondering how on earth could we buy one. Since we stay in South Africa and not Europe it could be difficult and pricey. Which it is. After a long look the only TRUSTED way I found in getting the F430 is through a dealer. In Cape Town. The dealer is called, Viglietti, and they are the only importers of Ferrari's to Southern Africa.
At the moment there are no new F430's for sale in S.A. So that must be disappointing, but not really because there is ONE second hand F430 spider in PERFECT condition.
This car is Ferrari approved so you know its basically brand spanking new!
Its done 12,561 km
It is Convertible
Price: Are you sure you want to know??? Well uhmm... R2 499 000.00.
Yeah that price also crushed my dreams. But we still think that it is the best driving machine ever.
