2012 Lexus LFA




Lightweight, powerful and balanced, the Lexus features advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) construction for its chassis and bodywork to deliver a light, incredibly strong and impact-resistant structure, this is the 2012 Lexus LFA. This LFA marks a watershed point for Lexus - its global debut marks the spectacular arrival of a new flagship for the F portfolio of Lexus performance models.


The result is the rear-wheel drive LFA, a dynamically styled supercar powered by a sophisticated new high-revving 4.8-liter V10 engine that generates 552 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque for adrenaline-fuelled 202 mph (325 km/h) performance.

   

There are many ways to rationalize the Lexus LFA. It is undeniably a wondrous halo car, but far too rare and pricey to occupy any significant number of dealer showrooms for live traffic. It is also a compelling proof of concept, demonstrating Toyota Motor Corporation's engineering competency with composite manufacturing, lightweight platforms and engine technology.

The LFA developed groundbreaking new processes to create a new LFA that was stronger, stiffer and lighter than any metal-based alternative could ever be. It is a single-purpose stimulant, formulated specifically to induce euphoria in the driver.

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera


The Porsche 911 became an icon almost the instant it arrived nearly 50 years ago, so when it comes up for a redesign, relatively small steps have usually won the day. The completely redesigned seventh-generation sports car icon is stepping into the limelight with its sleek and stretched silhouette, exciting contours and precisely designed features. The new 991 Carrera and Carrera S bring forth the latest iteration of the classic 911 with a longer wheelbase, more-powerful flat-sixes, and a luxurious Panamera-inspired interior. Advanced features and technologies abound, but the look is still pure 911, just sleeker and more modern.

The engine Equipped also with 350 PS (257 kW / 345 bhp) for the Porsche Carrera and standards for the type S with 3.8-liter engine with 400 PS (294 kW / 394 bhp). 2012 Porsche 911 are available in two fabulous engines, it includes; will generate 350 horsepower 3.4-liter boxer engine mounted in the Carrera, along with a 3.8-liter boxer that develops 400 horsepower being offered under the Carrera S badging. The Porsche 911 has razor-sharp steering, glued to the road, modernized 911 styling, longer wheelbase, more refined interior, resale value, more power, excellent gearboxes. The headlamps gain more complex innards, and the side mirrors move from the A-pillar to the door. Around back, the taillight elements are squinted and smaller, the chunky blocks around the license plate have fallen off, and the quad exhaust finishers are replaced with a more understated duo of outlets.


A true legend and one of the best all-around connections to the road. An updated cabin makes it even more enjoyable because it reflects the Porsche Carrera GT–like design that’s marked new Porsches since the Panamera, with a sloped center tunnel placing the shifter closer to the steering wheel. The execution is simpler than in the Panamera or Cayenne, though, with fewer buttons. 


Base Price: $79,950 - $184,350

2012 Lotus Exige


After months of speculation, Lotus has finally unveiled the new Exige S. This "ultimate lightweight high performance sportscar" comes bearing a new look inside and out, as well as a brand new engine that adds over 100 HP to the car’s output. 

The 2012 Lotus Exige S’ new design brings forth a cleaner and smoother look, eliminating the choppiness from its predecessor’s overall design. That being said, it is being described as more aggressive, giving off an aura of extreme sportiness. This mixture provides a perfect combination for what the Exige S is all about. 

The interior for the 2012 Lotus Exige S doesn’t get a whole lot of changes, but it does get two package options: Premium and Premium Sport. The Premium Pack is said to add comfort and style, while the Premium Sport option focuses on creating an internal space optimized for ultimate driver involvement. 



The biggest change for the new Lotus Exige S is the new mid-mounted, transverse 3.5 liter DOHC V6 VVI-i engine mated to an EA60 6 speed transverse Sports Ratios manual gearbox with open differential. This new engine delivers a total of 345 HP, which should translate into better performance times, except the Exige has also gained some weight during its refresher. The previous model claimed 2,077 lbs, while the new Exige S plumps up at 2,380 lbs. These modifications allow the Lotus Exige S to deliver a 0-60 mph sprint time of 3.8 seconds (from a previous time of 4.0 seconds) and its top speed hikes up to 170 mph (up from a previous 145 mph). That being said, these figures have yet to be witness tested so Lotus will be officially announcing them when that takes place. 

The Exige S now bears a new front splitter that eliminates the broken lines found on the previous model, as does the lone vent sweeping across the model’s hood. The headlights have also been combined into one piece, showing off two triangular lights as opposed to the four oblong lights from the previous model. The exaggerated roof scoop from last year also gets its walking papers for a continuation of the clean design. Last, but not least, the 2012 Lotus Exige S also gets a new, smaller rear spoiler that sinks in a little deeper to the rear of the Exige, aiding in the car’s aerodynamics.
