Although it is true that cars are nothing but heavy steel that takes us from point A to point B, other people view it in a different light - like a way of expressing one’s self or style.

The R8 is based in the 2003 Audi Le Mans Quattro concept car and not on the automakers R8 race car as what others presumed. It is equipped with a unique headlight design that makes use of LED technology. Audi said that the internal reflectors of the new car resemble those found in miniature Sydney Opera Houses.

The S80 just like any other Volvo’s masterpiece is not only designed to thrill and excite but was made to perfection. Great care was given to every detail even a Volvo heater core was fitted exclusively for the S80.
The Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG coupe is also a standout. Car aficionados have agreed that its cruise control integrated system which enables it to shift to autopilot function during stop-and-go traffic that makes it to become one of their all-time favorite cars. The cruise control integrated system is one of Mercedes’ ways of aiding drivers to pay attention to the road. The technology also comes with radars that can monitor the distance of the car with other cars. CL63 also steers, brakes and accelerates whenever it trails another car.

The upgraded models boast improved performance and technology which would make fanatics unable to resist. The Lexus LS Hybrid, a vehicle that runs on gasoline and electricity is a treat to those who love green cars. The regular version of this car is powered by V8 engine that produces 380 horsepower. The electric motor in the hybrid version also assists the V8 to generate more than 430 horsepower. And at present the hybrid version of Lexus LS is considered to be a status symbol of choice.
