Car review

This weeks car...

Jaguar F-Type

The newly released British sports car is rapidly become known across the world as on of the best cars of all time. Its supposed   to be the replacement for Jaguars 1961 E-Type (a little late in my opinion). Its supercharged engine gives it an amazing noise which echos of any surrounding objects. Jaguar are advertising the F-Type with the phrase 'What comes after E ?' which makes sense seeing as it comes after the E-Type. The convertible speeder has a 
top speed of around 300kmh, but when you go this fast in a convertible it could get dangerous. To solve this problem, Jaguar has given the F-Type  a rear spoiler that deploys at 100kmh.

My view:
The F-Type is a car built for fun and fun only. This is what makes a great car.



Interesting fact:
The seat supporters on the F-type come in your choice
of chrome, black chrome and carbon fiber.

Car reviews


This weeks car...

Lexus LFA
A computer on wheels is the best way to describe the Lexus LFA seeing as it is loaded with gadgets galore including touch screen controls, a mouse pad and a digital speedometer because a normal one couldn't keep up with it. The interior features leather seats, but no drink holders. This two seat speed machine features huge air scoops that it needs to cool its large engine which produces around 560 horse power. Jeremy Clarkson from Top gear UK even said that it was the best car he has ever driven after using it it the Top Gear USA special. It has a top speed of 325kmh which makes it the fastest Lexus made to date.

 My view: 
The Lexus LFA is a car that is built for speed but not one that is one my wish list.

                                                                    Interesting fact: The LFA took around 11    
                                                                    years of planning to make.

 Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale

Ever wanted a car that has enough power to rival a space ship? If so, the Maserati MC Stradale is the car for you. The Italian sports car is savagely quick thanks to its super light body which is mostly carbon fiber. Its interior is crammed with gadgets such as buttons that control the noise of its powerful engine. It has a top speed of 303kmh which makes it one of the fastest
Maserati cars ever made! Flicks of carbon fiber at the front of this car (to give down force) give it an almost angry look and the headlights ad to this factor.

My view:
The stylish speed machine is one of the cars I'd LOVE to own, but with a price of NZ$216,500 I don't think I will ever have one

Interesting fact:
The Stradale is the sport edition of the 'Granturismo' series
