Welcome Everybody to VizX’s Automotive Corner, i’ve recently learned of the new Impreza coming from Subaru and all i have to say is wow!! I’ve always really liked what subaru has brought to the public, but they got together with the honcho’s at Toyota and they have brought this idea to us for 2010! 

“It’s the most stylish Subaru ever! And this striking Impreza coupé will go into production in 2010. 

Joining the recently launched hatch-back model, it will allow the Japanese company to tackle the BMW 3-Series Coupé and Nissan 350Z head-on, as well as reach out to new customers.

The car has been developed as part of a joint venture with Subaru owner Toyota – the project will also spawn a long-awaited successor to the Nineties Celica. The Impreza coupé takes styling cues from the five-door model, but gets a rakish rear end. That gives it a chunky yet athletic appearance which stands out from the crowd. 

Power will come from a choice of two engines, both employing the flat-four boxer layout for which Subaru is famous. There’s a normally aspirated 2.0-litre unit giving around 180bhp, or a high-performance 2.5-litre turbo powerplant borrowed from the range-topping five-door STi. The latter will deliver in the region of 300bhp. 

For the entry-level machine, the Impreza’s four-wheel-drive system will be dropped in favour of a more lightweight and less expensive rear-drive set-up. That will put the emphasis on maximum driving thrills. But the more powerful car will send power to four tyres to harness all that punch. 

The newcomer will go on sale first in Japan and the US, and could arrive here in the UK in 2011. In entry-level guise, it’s set to cost around £20,000, with the flagship priced at £25,000. 

In a related story, Nissan is working on an affordable rear-wheel-drive coupé to sit below the 350Z. The Silvia replacement will go on sale in 2010.”

“Audi A3 Clubsport Concept - Car News

When you see the photo’s of the new Saleen S5S Raptor, you may just stop and stare, maybe a small jaw drop, or maybe nothing at all. This new piece of automotive artwork is the newest vehicle to be brought onto the streets from the same people who made the S7 Super car. Its nice to see the people at Saleen finally thought of us on a financial level because for a hefty 550k you too can own a S7, but according to the big wigs with Saleen, the S5S Raptor could enter the market in about two years, it carry price of around $185,000. Now yes thats still a chunk of money but its not 550k!

“The Raptor is just a glimpse of things to come from Saleen, Our company is unique in that we have the experience and knowledge behind some of the most exciting performance vehicles built over the past 20 years. Beyond the S7 Supercar, our team members have been involved in the Viper, Prowler, Ford GT, and the products of Chrysler SRT and Ford’s SVT performance groups. These lessons learned are evident in the Raptor concept and we will continue to build upon them as the company evolves” says Chief Technical Officer, Chris Theodore.

The Saleen Raptor is a 2 seater on a Mid-Engine RWD platform with a 6 speed manual that you can opt for paddle shifters if you plan on battling a Ferrari or an Astin martin, OH and this motor! A 5.0L 650HP/630TQ Supercharged beast, and get this…it runs on E85 Ethanol and for two reasons, E85 has a higher octane rating, and well its Cleaner and better for the Environment and this car will top out at around 200MPH! This car will send you back in the seat with a 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and its safe for mother nature, now thats what im talking about!!

Ok so im getting a little excited but hey who wouldn’t over a car like this? Now… with all this power, you know they had to do something in the handling department, because then we would hear about how many of them were ruined in the news via accident, I mean thats a lot of power, and it needs to be handled!

The Raptor contains a double wishbone suspension with rack&pinion steering and they threw ABS traction control and stability control as well. The brakes on the S5S are 15-inch rotors with 6-piston calipers in the front end, and 13-inch rotors with dual piston calipers in the rear end. Traction is provided by the 275/35 ZR20(front) and 315/35/ZR20(rear) Pirelli tires that wrap the 20″ forged aluminum wheels. The unique black-diamond and carbon fiber finish on the wheels make them stand out like no other.. now lets think about those side walls for a sec for all the true car guru’s.. 275 and 315! that it HUGE, but then on 20″s? i guess ya have to.

I personally can not wait to see one of these on the road? Will I stare at it? most definitely, take pictures of it? if im lucky enough to have my digital camera lol because Here are the photo’s of what I like to call, “Sex On Wheels”
