Ford has taken the curtain off its Shelby GT500 that’s also based on the 2011 model year Mustang that will be available as a coupe, convertible and for the first time, with the glass roof option that will go on sale later this spring. A more fuel efficient supercharged V8 engine is packed under the hood of the latest Shelby GT500 that cranks out 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of peak torque, or 10HP more and the same torque as the previous GT500. It’s also a 102 pounds lighter than its predecessor, which gives it better power-to-weight ratio and fuel economy, as it returns an EPA-projected 23 mpg highway and 15 mpg city, up from 22 mpg highway and 14 mpg city for the 2010 model. Ford claims that the 2011 coupe with the SVT Performance Package is 3.0 seconds faster per lap than the 2010 Shelby GT500 on a 2.3-mile test track. (more…)

BMW is giving its X5 SUV a mid-life facelift that we’ll see at the New York International Auto Show in April. The new X5 will then go on sale soon after and features a new engine lineup consisting only of turbocharged powerplants and some barely noticeable exterior changes.

As far as exterior enhancements, the X5 gets reshaped front and rear bumpers with more body paint than black trim, revised head lamps and tail lights, and larger central and outer air intakes up front. The new exterior and interior colors along with the latest iDrive and different light alloy wheel designs complete the makeover. However, the really important changes are under the hood! At the top of the gasoline range sits the new xDrive50i with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 developing 400HP in North America that replaces the previous 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8. BMW also dropped the xDrive30i from the range with the xDrive35i that’s now powered by the firm’s new single turbo inline-six producing 300HP for its entry-level model. (more…)

We’re all drooling over the 2011 Mustangs, but check out a Mustang that needs only two wheels to get by. The original Mustang motorcycle was introduced in 1947 by a small company in Glendale, California and used a small 122cc two-stroke engine from Villiers and wheels measuring a scant 12-inches in diameter. While not a performance machine by today’s standards, these Mustangs got around pretty well and allowed 20,000 new riders to hit the wide-open road. (more…)

You’ve already seen the facelifted 2010 911 Turbo, but meet the more extreme 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S that will be making its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show month before it arrives in showrooms later this year. The 911 Turbo S is designed for those who seek only the best in terms of power, performance and driving dynamics given it delivers 530 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. Combined with the launch control system from the standard Sport Chrono Package, the 911 Turbo S accelerates from a standstill to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and reaches 124 mph in 10.8 seconds. Top speed is 195 mph. Despite its significant increase in power and dynamic performance, the 911 Turbo S, at 26.8 mpg combined, doesn’t consume any more fuel than the regular Porsche 911 Turbo, making it one of the most efficient sports cars in its class. Standard features include carbon ceramic brakes, 19-inch wheels in the RS Spyder design, a three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles, adaptive sports seats, cruise control, a CD/DVD changer and exclusive twin-tone leather upholstery.
