BENTLEY presented its ‘Continental GT Speed’ during BIMOS 2008, which is powered by W12-BiTurbo engine. The twin-turbo W12 mill from standard Continental GT breathes better thanks to a redesigned and more upright grille, and its ECU has also been hacked resulting in a nice round 600bhp, a 48bhp bump. 20-inch wheels wrapped in ultra low-profile rubber, a new steering wheel not shared with VW, and optional carbon ceramic brakes round out the hardware upgrades. All told, 60 MPH should arrive in 4.2 seconds and the Continental GT Speed’s 202 MPH top speed officially makes it the fastest Bentley ever made, as well.

 In these last years Toyota sales are getting bigger each year and in the future Toyota could become the biggest car manufacturer in the world. The largest automaker at the moment seems to decline a bit and Toyota is rising each year. Many people predict that they will overtake General Motors in sales even though others aren’t too impressed of their performance. It’s not too important to be number one as long as you’ve got a decent number of sales and as long you impress people with every car you create.Of all the electronics in the market, the digital camera sells the fastest, unlike laptops who have food battery literally. The brands matter more in cameras and then dvd rental.

Toyota cars are probably the most reliable and safe cars. Toyota Corolla was one of the safest car in the world for years and it’s a car that was bought by millions of people. Cars made by them always score high in crash tests and it’s always important to feel safe when you’re driving. You can’t predict when something bad happens and if something like that will happen it’s great if you’re driving a reliable car. Toyota Prado is other car made by them that is really safe and even though the cars they design aren’t as fast as others more and more people buy cars from them each year.

M-Zero, Inspired by BMW M Series

M-Zero, Inspired by BMW M Series

M-Zero is a car concept inspired by BMW M series which also consider Mercedes Benz and DB9 Aston Martin. Maël Oberkampf, the designer of M-Zero actually tried to make a model which could be considered as the equivalent of the R8 from Audi. And the result is M-Zero, a car concept that is the “synthesis” between the actual BMW design and a high an performance car which could become the most powerful model of the BMW legacy. The exterior looks great, very BMW style, but we are hoping to be able to see the interior design, we bet it’s futuristic. Via tuvie.com
