Audi R8 to Offer Diesel

Rumor has it that the new upcoming sportscar Audi R8 will be available with a diesel version, according to Wolfgang Hatz in the Quattroruote magazine. To promote this idea, the R8 will further reduce the decibels of the engines. Sources say that power would be from under the hood of the diesel Audi Q7, which is available in a V12 TDI motor, which produces 500 horsepower.

Lincoln MKS to come with V8, not V6

After much discussion about the Lincoln MKS to introduce with a V6 or tuned V6 engine, Ford issued a survey that asked consumers which engine would appear best with the MKS, and the result? Many voted for the V8, opposed to the V6. So now, it appears that reports say that the MKS will be powered by a 315 horsepower V8 in order to compete with rivals.

Addition to the report, there will be the panoramic glass or VistaRoof, as seen on the Ford Edge and upcoming Lincoln vehicles; adaptive LED headlamps, similar to that of the Lexus LS600h; 20-inch wheels which are a first for Lincoln sedans; Bluetooth connectivity; DVD audio; and the Lincoln Mobile Media System, which uses an 8-inch LCD display to handle navigation, audio/entertainment, climate control, and it can also download data such as weather.

CarPhotoSite’s Beauty Pageant

Okay. After much controversy in the World’s Most Beautiful Automobiles post, I must first say that I did not create that list. I repeat, did not. That list was messed up anyways. So I have created my own little list for those who care to listen.

The list contains vehicles that you can find on the dealer lots today, not vehicles that are about to be introduced, so not to cause any controversy.
