The all-alloy, 3.8 litre engine now delivers 385 horsepower, propelling the convertible to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, with a maximum speed of 295 km/h. The new Carrera 4S - more driving enjoyment with better fuel economy and fewer emissions.compare it! - Audi A5 vs. BMW 3 Series CoupéAudi has rolled out the A5, its challenger to the BMW 3 Series Coupé. There was a time when the words diesel and coupé seemed irreconcilable. Now they stand for the ultimate in driving pleasure and performance. BMW's 3 Series is fitted with a six cylinder engine, which accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and tops out at 250 km/h. The A5 has the performance edge at 239 horsepower, and a zero-to-100 time of 5.9 seconds.picture it! - Futuristic Cars from MercedesWhat will we be driving in the future? Mercedes-Benz is doing its best to answer that question. The concept F700 is built around the experimental "DiesOtto" engine. Dubbed "the diesel without diesel," the car packs 238 horsepower but with fuel consumption of just six litres per 100 kilometers. The Electro-Smart is already on the London streets as a pilot project. drive it! takes a closer look at the German carmaker's vision of the future.know it: * The new Mercedes GLK * The new Peugeot 308CCtest it! - Alfa Romeo MitoAlfa Romeo is making its first foray into the compact car class with the Mito, and is not cutting any corners. While other automakers simply think small, Alfa Romeo has taken inspiration from the most expensive sports car it has on offer - the 450 horsepower Alfa 8C. But instead of costing €160,000, the Mito will have a street price of just under €15,000. Just like the genuine article, the Mito will have the 8C's sporty curves and low-profile tyres.examine it! - 120 Years of Women DriversExactly 120 years ago, Bertha Benz became the first woman to drive an automobile. In 19th century Germany, the spectacle of the horseless vehicle was just as novel as a woman sitting behind the wheel. Since then, men have dominated the roads, but the auto industry is starting to tap into the neglected market of women motorists. drive it! looks back at the history of women and cars.admire it! - Turner GTOJim Vierling turned his back on mass-marketed, production-line cars and began building his own. His latest project is the Turner GTO, which combines the chassi of an American-made kit-car, the V8 motor of a corvette and the gearbox of a Porsche. But the sports car is not just a prototype. The Turner GTO is going into series production and could be yours for €89,000.
