2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition
The newest Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition is a joint effort of Autombili Lamborghini and Blancpain after their great triumph in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo. The union of the two giant companies obviously produces an invention where the highest degrees of engineering from both the industries of automotive and chronometry are employed. One key factor to a competent racing car is its weight. The two giants have come up with a lightweight vehicle by using carbon-fiber, thus improving the mechanical quality.
.
A reduced weight also implies a lower power-to-weight ratio, 2.35 kg/hp to be specific, enhancing then the performance of Gallardo LP570-4 plus, taking care of the environment because of a lower emission of carbon dioxide. Within 3.4 seconds, the Gallardo accelerates to 100 km/h and continues until it reaches 200 km/h and marked only at 6.8 seconds after. Its V10 engine that can carry 5.2 liters can generate 570 hp.

2011 Ford Mustang RTR
The 2011 Ford Mustang RTR Package is a set of body and performance enhancements meant for the vigorous and energetic driver. The performance upgrade package for the 2011 Ford Mustang includes unique 19 x 9.5-inch rims, Ford Racing Falken FK452 tires, a pair of Ford Racing Mufflers, and a Ford Racing handling pack composed of racing-tuned dampers and springs.
The body upgrades for the new 2011 Ford Mustang RTR have been intricately planned to maximize handling and car stability. The steel seat belts are now firmer and wider, providing the driver with more stability during high-velocity driving. The frame of the car has also been tuned with a high-tension, high turn-up construction to assist the driver in controlling the vehicle at tremendous speeds.
To augment the car’s aerodynamic capabilities, the RTR package also includes a front mounted chin spoiler with diffuser and supports, a rear diffuser, a rear mounted aluminum spoiler and rocker splitters. All of these upgrades allow the car to cut through air resistance with ease, reducing drag to a minimum.
Finally, the package includes distinctive RTR racing stripes along with interior detailing patterns, comprised of original RTR floor mats, a shifter knob and emblems. This guarantees to turn heads whenever the automobile speeds by.
The entire package was pioneered by Vaughn Gittin Jr., who competed in the Formula Drift series driving the Monster Energy/Falken Tire 2011 Ford Mustang GT. It was then assembled in affiliation with the Michigan-based Classic Design Concepts, recognized for excellent quality and style. This package is available at exclusive dealerships only.

2011 Ford Shelby GT500
As proof that good things can only get better, the Ford’s Special Vehicle Team engineers have decided to take the Ford Shelby up a notch by developing this already powerful car into the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500. Some improvements that you need to look out for include an aluminum block engine, features for better driving dynamics and a better sense of fuel economy without having to sacrifice horsepower.
The all new aluminum block 5.4 litre supercharged v8 engine can produce up to 550 horsepower and a hefty 510 ft.-lb of torque, making it much more powerful than the 2010 model. What’s surprising is that all this power comes from an engine that is essentially lighter than all its predecessors so you can expect better handling and steering precision, as well as acceleration in a lighter and sleeker package.
A side from that, the Ford Shelby GT500 will also be equipped with improvements that are set to minimize noise, vibration and harshness which will then essentially make the drive much more comfortable, no matter what kind of road you take. This Shelby convertible is designed in a way that it’s bound to become lighter, making you feel like you're driving a coupe instead of a convertible.

2011 Ferrari SA Aperta
Ferrari exhibited during the 2010 Paris International Motor Show their limited SA Aperta (only 80 have been produced). This is in line with the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina. SA Aperta enjoys Ferrari’s signature V12 front engine. The aerodynamics of Asperta is outstanding because of the well positioned windscreen. The fact that Aperta stoops lower to the ground adds to its compactness. Aperta has a revamped chassis to assure a standard firmness similar to a Berlinetta. The weight of the chassis has also been reduced to deliver a high, dynamic performance.
The outline of the seats is cunningly emulated by the Aperta’s profile that curves back from the A-post up to the two aerodynamic fins. Ferrari has one of the most innovative technologies when it comes to exceptional driving experience. This has been integrated in the Aperta when it marvelously exemplifies the sporty impression of the Ferrari 599 via the 670 CV engine underneath its bonnet.
