2011 cars

The new BMW M5 (Expected November 2011)

Officially it is still a concept car but hopefully should come to life this year.The last M5 had a V10, but that’s gone, replaced by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, similar to the engine found in the X5M. So it’s torquier than the outgoing version, but the engineers say it also revs high. It should do 0-62mph(0-100kph) in just four and half seconds. Just imagine, counting to four and its already clocked a hundred. 

Dont get confused with the BMW 5 series and the M5. They look the same but their engines are different. The M5 is a preformance version of the 5 series i.e it is faster and made for speed.


Range Rover Evoque(Debuted March 2011)

This is probably Land Rover's answer to the BMW X3, Audi Q5. It is also the smallest of all the Range Rover series. A 3 door and a 5 door edition is expected, it comes in 3 different models-

Pure- which has a clean interior feel- all neutral colours and semi-scando Ikea vibes

Prestige- the luxury pack of them all. It includes enhanced exterior bits, 19s and more chrome, with proper wood and metal finishes on the inside.

Dynamic- has aggressive bespoke sills, grilles, pipes and bumpers, 20s and a sporting leather interior.

Lets hope this works off road like its older brothers unlike the BMW X3 and X6 that do not particularly do well off road. 

Mercedes Benz C63 AMG coupe unveiled (March 2011)

Jeremy Clarkson described the 4 door saloon as a thug in a silk dress. What he actually meant was dont be fooled by the cool demeanor of its looks. It will tear apart any beautifully paved road in a mind boggling time. This car may be one of the definations of cool but on the inside its a raging bull. It will do 0-60mph(0-100kph) in 4.5 seconds. 6.2 litre V8 with sport suspension. with the two rear doors gone it should handle better.
