Next Generation 2012 Volkswagen Jetta
The Volkswagen Jetta always cuts an excitingly good figure. Its sporty silhouette and well proportioned lateral lines give it a look that is simply irresistible, as do the striking front end, the sporty radiator grille and the bumpers that are completely painted in the body colour. A stylish design as far as the eye can see. The Volkswagen Jetta perfectly combines the assets of a top-class saloon with the clear attributes of a compact class car, and it inspires with supreme quality. You can see this with a simple glance at the selected details, for example the chrome strips on the vanes, or the tinted side windows and rear window, which absorb up to 65% of the light.
The VW Jetta has far more space than your average car. From the drivers seat all the way back to the rear. Passengers in both the front and the rear will appreciate the ample knee space. With a little more luggage, the boot comes into its own with a capacity of 510 litres. And if you need to carry even more, the backrest can be folded down, allowing you to practically load the goods through. Keep a cool head, or do you prefer it nice and warm? With the "Climatronic" air conditioning system, you can change from one pleasant climate zone to another at the touch of a button. The temperature is electronically controlled, and each side of the car is controlled independently of the other. While you concentrate on driving, an air quality sensor monitors the quality of the outside air and automatically switches to air recirculation mode if this is necessary.
That makes sporty driving fun. Tried-and-tested TSI technology in the Jetta generates maximum power even from a small displacement and it does so with minimum fuel consumption. The direct injection petrol engine is efficiently charged with either a turbocharger or with a combination of turbocharger and compressor. That enables the fuel to be burned so efficiently that the output of the TSI engines is significantly higher than that of conventional, naturally aspirated engines.
The Jetta with BlueMotion Technology impresses with greatly reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions despite putting in a more dynamic performance. This is made possible by intelligent technology that reduces the engine idling speed. By the longer transmission ratio in the higher gears. By the tyres which have been optimised with respect to rolling resistance. And not least by the gear-change recommendation indicator assuming you follow its advice by engaging the most efficient gear.
The four-link system accurately controls the longitudinal and lateral movement of each rear wheel individually. Refinement is further improved as the system is mounted on a lightweight sub-frame. This means suspension movement is isolated from the body. Occupant benefits include greater comfort, less body roll in corners and, an involving, nimble chassis with enhanced stability. The dusk sensor system is fitted close to the rain sensor, behind your internal mirror. It detects light levels and automatically turns on the dipped headlights when the levels are low for instance, when you are driving through a tunnel, at night, or when dusk sets in. Your headlights must be switched on for the dusk sensors to work.

Abt Audi R8 Spyder Car Wallpapers
The ABT R8 Spyder – Open tops can be this good
The R8 Spyder is not just a cabrio, it is a teasingly beautiful open-top sports car of the top class, a real dream car - in particular ABT Sportsline’s version. Their designers have contoured the lines of the open-top model athlete, and using the ABT R8 Spyder has redefined the word “roadster” with Bavarian thoroughness: the result is a vehicle whose power can be seen even when it is at a standstill. The front grill, front apron, side sills and rear apron with the rear spoiler as well as the dual-colour coated ABT BR alloys have been adjusted to the dynamic design of the car. As with the closed R8 versions from ABT, the team has designed all the components in order to achieve the sports car’s optimum distribution of weight; all the parts are therefore made from carbon. As a result the performance can be converted into a maximum of driving enjoyment. Anyone who wants to systematically reduce the weight of their Spyder should use the new ABT CR Superlight alloys, as they also excellently suit the character of the ABT R8.
The V10 with 5.2 litre cubic capacity is used in the ABT R8 Spyder: this provides 600 well-trained horses (441 kW) – while in the series version there are 525HP (386 kW). The Spyder is able to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and achieves a top speed of 320 km/h. The roadster is therefore a hurricane for the road, giving lovers of fresh-air a new "tangible” term. Suspension springs from ABT provide even better handling, which in particular has a positive effect in the threshold regions of the Spyder. In addition the lower centre of gravity gives the mid-engine sports car an even more aggressive appearance. When you take a look at the car you can see that it is one of the fastest of the fast - and is really ready for anything, as you would expect from an ABT R8.

Ferrari F430 Spider Sports Cars
As part of Ferrari's 60th Anniversary Celebrations, researchers at Maranello have developed an engine powered by the bio-fuel E85 for the F430 Spider.
The Ferrari F430 Spider Bio-fuel uses an 85% ethanol mix which was made possible with modifications made to the fuel feed system and to the engine CPU. The combined use of this type of bio-fuel and the modifications made resulted in a power hike of 10hp at the same rpm and a 4% increase in torque yet retaining overall weight.

Ferrari Enzo Sports 2011
The Enzo was initially announced at the 2002 Paris Motor Show with a limited production run of 349 and at US $659,330. The company sent invitations to existing customers, specifically, those who had previously bought the F40 and F50. All 349 cars were sold in this way before production began. Later, after numerous requests, Ferrari decided to build 50 more Enzos, bringing the total to 399. Before being unveiled at the Paris Motor show, the Enzo (that was used in the show) was flown from Italy to California to be filmed in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. It was driven on a beach by actress Demi Moore. After filming was complete, the Enzo was flown to France to be in the Motor Show.[4] Enzos are listed as being built in 2003.
Ferrari built one more Enzo — the 400th car — and it was auctioned by Sotheby's Maranello Auction on June 28, 2005, to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami for €950,000 (US$1,274,229), almost twice its list price. This sum was presented to Pope Benedict XVI, while former Ferrari Formula One driver Michael Schumacher gave the pope a steering wheel to commemorate the donation. This wheel included a plaque which read, "The Formula 1 World Champion's steering wheel to His Holiness Benedict XVI, Catholicism's driver."
The Enzo Ferrari typically trades above $1,000,000 (£500,000) at auction.[5]
Three prototype "mules" were built, M1, M2, and M3. Each was bodied to look like a 348, even though the mules were built in 2000. The third mule was offered for auction alongside the 400th Enzo in June, 2005, bringing €195,500 (US$236,300).
