A car that can go from 0-to-62-mph sprint of 3.7 seconds, has 552hp, from last year's 512hp, and 44 lb lesser in weight. Thanks to its engine which is 66 pounds lighter than the 2008 Gallardo. The new Gallardo  also consumes eighteen percent better fuel economy than the previous unit. Due to its direct fuel injection, the LP560 is easier on the pocket compared to the old one, especially now that gas prices are unstable.

The new unit has improved its weight to increase power and be environmentally friendly. But there is more to the LP560 other than its weight-to-power ratio. It can now shift 40 percent faster, when it comes to its E-sequential manual transmission.  It also has a launch control program called "thrust mode" and "Corsa setting" which raises the threshold of stability control intervention and sharpens shifts. A new suspension was made for 2009 Gallardo that the press has exaggerated its description that you will want it to be your suspension ( Even Lamborghini itself was surprised with their words). Available in three colors, notable of which is "Nero Nemesis".

Lamborghini has conducted a demonstration for the press to let them see what it is really made of.  The "-4" in LP560-4 stands for its four wheel drive but it has -30 torque in the front wheels thus having poor pulling power. One driver concluded that the Gallardo loves to oversteer. He accidentally discovered this while turning right from Sahara Boulevard onto the Strip.  Also having a 31 percent more downforce and said to top speed at 202 mph (53 pounds of lift at the front axle and 115 pounds of lift at the rear) compared to its rival Ferrari's F430  that has  616 pounds downforce at 186 mph top speed.

The 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is sold at pre ordered at $201,000.

The car that was “loved” by everyone. From kids to adults, due to the brands appearance as BUMBLEBEE on the movie "Transformers". Described as efficient and fun sports car,  the Camaro (a 21st century Sports car that is heritage-inspired) is both good looking , has high performance with advance technology and can run estimated at 26 mpg highway fuel economy.

Introduced ain the market with V6 powered for the LS and LT models and V-8 for the SS. All models are said to be efficient, resulting from its fuel saving six-speed transmissions and made with General Motor's new "Rear-Wheel-Drive architecture". To have an exciting performance and great fuel economy advanced power train technologies were installed having engines with direct injection and active fuel management.

Ed Peper, GM North America vice president, Chevrolet said, on his press release, "Camaro delivers all of the things that make Chevrolet such a revered, global brand. It competes with the world’s best sports cars and does so with styling, fuel economy and value our competitors simply can’t match. The new Chevrolet Camaro delivers a thoroughly modern, advanced package of performance, comfort and technology’s a sports car for a new generation of enthusiasts that doesn’t forget the heritage that helped make the original a cultural icon . That is no small feat and it took a worldwide commitment to achieve it"

The 2010 Camaro was literally made worldwide. It has designed at United Sates, engineered at AUstralia, was tested at different countries and manufactured at Canada.

Autopartswarehouse Note:

        Rumor has it that the 2010 will be BUMBLEBEE on the second movie of TRANSFORMERS.

        The 2010 Camaro has start production and will be available on the first quarter of 2009.

41 years after its debut, the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500, a blend of sports and muscle car that was named after Caroll Shelby, is still considered one of the best muscle cars. The car that I've been eyeing for quite some time and hopefully soon will be able to purchase one.

History

During 1967 there was a demand for more civility, from the 1965 and 66 mustang and with the introduction of the '67 units, regular Stangs could get a 320-bhp 390-cid four-barrel V-8. Caroll Shelby, naturally, went further. His GT 350 retained its 289-cid V-8 with its 306-bhp rating. And a new model was made called "Police Interceptor", the 1967 Shelby GT 500, got a reworked 428-cid.

But the 4280-cid was saved for bigger Fords due to its 345bhp. A cast-aluminum medium-rise intake manifold from Ford's 427, twin 600-cfm Holley four-barrel carburetors and other tweaks for a conservative rating of 355 bhp was added to the unit. Ford's near race-ready 427-cid V-8 were equipped to the Shelby Mustang that was made mad during production for some dealers.

General Characteristics of the 67 GT500:

    GT-level interior ttrim

    New factory options are Air-conditioning and Power Steering

    8000-rpm tach

    140-mph speedometer

    padded roll bar

All of these are Shelby Standards.

To improve its performance The GT 500s were set with fiberglass body pieces with an elongated nose,4 body side intakes, ansa hood with functional scoops. Borrowed from the Mercury Cougar the fiberglass tail had a molded spoiler and sequential turn-signal lamps. High-beam headlights were mounted in the center of the grille (some were moved to the sides to meet state laws). Twin "Le Mans" stripes were dealer-applied options for any 1967 Shelby GT 500.

Autoartswarehouse Specs:

A "Pony Car" made by Chevrolet ( A division of GM motors) in North america. Introduced on September 1966 frop 1967 to compete with the other "Best" muscle car the Ford Mustang.  This card shared a lot from the Pontiac Firebird, from its platform to it majors components. Its name,who had no meaning like the Shelby, was derived from  a French dictionary which means "Friend", "Copanion" or "Chum". So if a french called you a Camaro with their slang voice, you shouldn't be offended. Press release back then gave the name "Panther" but the project name of it was Chevrolet XP-836 and some photos labeled it as "Chaparral". When the press asked some Chevy people what a Camaro is, they were answered "it is a small animal that eats MUSTANGS". "Camar" instantly fits Chevy with its list of "C" named cars (e.g. Chevelle, Corvette, Corvair, Chevy).

Bothered by the succes of the Mustang, executives realized that the Corvair (their compact sporty car) would not be able to match the Mustangs sales volume due to its radical engine design and poor sales.  the Camaro then was introduced as the same conventional rear drive front engine like its competitors. plus it was designed to fit a variety of power plants in the engine bay.

The 1967-1969 Camaro was the First generation Camaro, the Second was the one used in the movie Transformers as the first Bumblebee and the better Autobot is ow the Fifth generation Camaro.

Base from its Press release, Hummer its trademark style and unmatched capability to the "truck" market. The H3T was designed from the H3 but with a five-passenger crew cab and a Five feet long bed. with a size smaller than a Full size truck and bigger than the mid-size truck, the H3T has retained what is expected of a HUMMER (a premium, comfortable and functional interior and exceptional off-road capability)

Martin Walsh, Hummer General Manager quoted "With its unique size and HUMMER traits, the H3T is ideal for the customer who works hard and plays harder. It offers the combination of truck versatility and HUMMER off-road prowess"  The only midsize truck that has a full four wheel drive capability and a front and rear locking differentials with a functional skid shields and a 32 inch tires. Its Alpha version is powered with a V8 and can tow up to 2,676 kg!

H3T will begin production at GM's Shreveport, La., assembly plan on the third quarter of this year and will be available in four trim levels including five cylinder models and the Alpha edition (V8 model). It will be distributed to North America, Europe and the Middle east.

Having the HUMMER signature which is the wide, seven-slot grille and round headlamps mounted in square housings. The H3T has a purposeful design and iconic style (wide, aggressive stance; a low roofline and high beltline; and large, off-road tires) which can be seen to all HUMMER Models.

Stock units of the H3T has variable valve timing with the Vortec 3.7L I-5 with dual overhead cams. This inline five-cylinder engine delivers a combination of power and efficiency, supported by a five-speed manual transmission or an available four-speed, electronically controlled automatic.

The H3T Alpha's 5.3L engine is a powerful and efficient member of GM's legendary small-block V-8 family. While a  Hydra-Matic 4L60 electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission is paired with the 5.3L engine. Flat towing is enabled on all H3 and H3T models.

The supercar that has been creating a lot of buzz on enthusiast. The 2009 Nissan GT-R is an awesome car that is being compared to the Porsche 911 but cost less. Even though the GT-R don't offer a manual transmission it balanced its cons with low MSRP, world-class handling,face-distorting acceleration, and exceptionally easy to drive. With a heritage of a Skyline, The 2009 GT-R is repleteed with twin-turbocharged V6 engine and an all-wheel drive.

Some says that technically it is not a Skyline. due to the fact that it now belongs to the infiniti G series, which is marketed by Nissan Skyline in Japan. But with its features such as the Twin turbo engine, all wheel drive and exterior features the GT-R is definitely the modern day Sklyine.

With lot of Issues before its production, the Nissan GT-R  was made to face the Porsche 997 series-911 Turbo base from its ancestors (made during 1989-93 to compete with the Porsche 959). There where two conditions before it got its green light from Carlos Ghos,Nissan's President and CEO, it has to be sold at a base price of $70,000 and have to be profitable. The car shouldn't be just an image booster that will be sold a lost. Now that the conditions were achieved  it has been confirmed that the 2009 Nissan GT-R can match its competitor in the market, having a reasonable price that no  other brands have it will deifinitely be a hit on its market.

Autopartswarehouse note:

The unbelievable pricing was possible, thanks to its mass production techiniques and some twicks it made on the supercar. Some of which are 473-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6, a dual-clutch transmission and a trick suspension with adjustable dampers. We should also thank the chasiss it has, a GT-R all-new PM ("Premium Midship") chassis. A chasiss taht is distinguished from the FM platform that underpins the 350Z and the Infiniti G35. Demerits are very few and mostly insignificant.

With rising gas prices, manufacturers has been trying to help consumers with a lot alternatives. There has been rumors of water cars, choking engines etc. The most succesful so far is Hybrid cars. What are hybrids? Hybrids are machines that run on electricity such as a MO-ped, submarines etc. A Hyrbid car, which are usually gas-electric,  can run on both gas and electric power. A gas powered car runs transmission by fuels from its tank while electric vehicles has batteries that runs the transmission and the transmission runs the wheels. There are three minimun requirements for a car to be useful to humans. First is it should drive atleast 300 miles before refueling. Second, it shall has the capacity to be refuled quickly and easy. Lastly keep up with traffice and different roads. All of these three can be achieved by a gas powered machine but can create a large volume of pollution. A electric car on the other hand, creates no pollution but can hardly go up to 50 miles per hour.  The hybrid is a compromise of both strategies, it tries to decrease consumption of gas while having a long drive with less harm to the environment.

Gasoline-electric hybrid cars contain the following parts:

• Gasoline engine - The hybrid car has a gasoline engine much like the one you will find on most cars. However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency.

   

• Fuel tank - The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for the gasoline engine. Gasoline has a much higher energy density than batteries do. For example, it takes about 1,000 pounds of batteries to store as much energy as 1 gallon (7 pounds) of gasoline.

   

• Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.

   

• Generator - The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power. It is used mostly on series hybrids (see below).

   

• Batteries - The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power the gasoline engine, the electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into the batteries as well as draw energy from them.

   

• Transmission - The transmission on a hybrid car performs the same basic function as the transmission on a conventional car. Some hybrids, like the Honda Insight, have conventional transmissions. Others, like the Toyota Prius, have radically different ones, which we'll talk about later.

Autopartswarehouse notes:

Hybrids have two kind a parallel hybrid an Series Hybrid. A Parallel has a fuel tank that can supply gasoline to the engine and batteries for electric motor. On the other hand a Series Hybrid has a gasoline engine that turns a generator, which can either charge the batteries or power an electric motor that drives the transmission.

Summer of 2009 will surely be another great season for Car enthusiast. Fast and the Furious 4 is set to be released at this time. The fourth movie has the original cast so expect it to have more action and attitude, with Vin Diesel back in th driving seat.

Autopartswarehouse sneak peek and details:

Director: Justin Lin

Writers: Garry Scott Thompson

             Chris Morgan

Release date: June 5, 2009

Synopsis by universal Studios:

    Vin Diesel and Paul Walker re-team for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on Fast cars -- "Fast and Furious." Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.

    When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.

The Newest report is the fourth installment will be calle "Fast & Furious". There wont be a number"'4" and the word 'the" wont be used to to avoid repitition. The original characters will appear but Letty (Rodriguez) will be killed early hence a funeral scene and a revenge for her dead. The movie will also have Han (from Tokyo Dirft) to emphasize that the stroy is a prequel to the 3rd installment.
