Las Vegas & Los Angeles Supercar Driving Experience




The Gallardo LP550-2 is the first series-production rear-wheel-drive to come out of the house of Lamborghini since the Diablo. There is a lot to be said about a rear wheel, 550 horsepower supercar that pushes 398 lb-ft of torque. Not to mention the removal of the front drive shafts lightens the Gallardo by over 65 pounds making it even lighter than the stripped-down Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera. Less weight with the same horsepower makes it faster and nimbler than the Gallardo LP550-4. Removing the front drive shafts also means that the weight distribution is now rear-biased making the Gallardo feel lighter and more agile. Steering comes to life when you really push it hard. It鈥檚 in third gear that the rush becomes amazing as the wide powerband of the engine revs from 3500 rpm all the way up to 8200 rpm providing a sustained, truly startling thrust. Don't worry about the corners. There is still plenty of grip from the rear tires to provide support. Being able to open up this V10 and feel the ferocity of almost 400 lb-ft of torque thrusting down the back stretch will make you feel the ultimate rush of adrenaline! One thousand eight hundred feet shrink fast when smashing down toward the apex in a Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2. All-in-all, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 is a perfectly balanced good time that delivers beauty, power, passion, and agility.

It鈥檚 more solidly put together than a Mercedes GLC too. Very few Macan buyers will push the limits of its uncanny handling, but plenty will be swayed by the designer label ambience of this cabin. And the basics, like a decent glovebox, hidden stowage cubbies and comfortable, supportive seats are all catered for. Up front, you鈥檝e now got a much bigger, crisper touchscreen to use. At 12.3 inches across, it鈥檚 a big one - standard equipment, too - and its slightly fiddly interface is inherited from the bigger Cayenne and Panamera models. What isn鈥檛 is the continued use of physical buttons on the centre tunnel. Rear space is adult-friendly. Yes, we鈥檙e sticking our neck out and saying it - the Porsche Macan is (still) the best SUV money can buy. Rivals have their own small victories: the AMG GLC63 sounds cooler while being caned. But as an all-rounder, a car for all tasks and occasions, Porsche鈥檚 effort is unsurpassed. We reckon the updated interior is the revised car鈥檚 biggest improvement - in fact, it鈥檚 now the best cabin Porsche makes, because it eschews a fiddly touchscreen centre console. It鈥檚 a refined, comfortable capsule. Under the bonnet, the new 2.0-litre engine does the job better than expected, but it鈥檒l be a shock to the system to the buyer who鈥檚 reaching to the limits of their finance to get into a Porsche. Thing is, just as the 911 is the sports car by which all others are judged, and the Cayenne has long been the yardstick for big SUV handling and luxury, the Macan does it again. Nothing for the money does quite so much quite so well. In a world where SUV demand often seems at odds with the compromised nature of the vehicle in question, this is the car that deserves world domination.





BMW always likes to refer to the X6 as a SAV (Sports Activity Coupe). The BMW X6 shares numerous components with its more SUV like X5. However, the BMW X6 features a dramatically downward sloping roof line that evoking the timeless profiles of classic fastback coupes. Not surprisingly, style trumps utility here, as the X6 offers limited rear headroom and cargo volume. For the overtly style-conscious, these shortcomings will likely be of little consequence. The X6 has a potent range of engines and handling abilities that we expect from BMW. As a utility vehicle, the X6 obviously falls short and tends to leave that aspect for its more sensible sibling, the X5. However, as a high-riding performance "coupe" with room for four adults, it continues to hold an unusual sort of appeal. To date there are more than 250,000 versions of the BMW X6 roaming across the world. Armed with an even more potent design presence and outstanding performance, the all-new BMW X6 continues to offer exclusive driving pleasure.

Porsche 911 Carrera S Driving Experience




I may have trouble with one horse power (horseback riding), but give me 355 horses and I am on my way. I had the luxury experience to drive a new 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S while in Switzerland, which was made available from the hotel Palace Luzern. The Palace Luzern, in conjunction with Porsche, makes available, for the price of the gas, a Porsche for guests staying at the hotel to drive. You only need to provide your signature, acknowledging the insurance responsibility, and you are presented the keys and a map for your drive around the breathtaking area surrounding Lucerne, Switzerland. As any good race car driver or actually any driver would do, I had to check out all the features available to me for my drive. So, what did I have to work with? A 6 speed manual transmission, a 6 cylinder 355 hp engine at 6,500 rpm with 295 lb-ft torque at a compression ration of 11.8-1; translated, I was not going to be riding behind any cars during my drive.





To balance out the ride there is a 4-piston aluminum monobloc fixed calipers, vacuum servo, ventilated, and drilled, ABS braking system, as though I was going to need this feature, but it was nice to know that it was there. The weather was favorably warm for a late October journey through Switzerland, so of course we had the sunroof open and we enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Lucerne is located in such a beautiful location with the mountains and the lakes surrounding it, although having traveled a bit of Switzerland I guess that this statement would fit most of Switzerland. It was a bit hard taking in the scenery when most of the surroundings are a blur, but we did slow down as we passed through the many charming towns. Short shifting and powering through turns, downshifting for speed so we could watch the cars in our rearview mirror; I believe that Debra had wished we had a 3 point harness for a seatbelt. We cruised a few hours north of Lucerne before doubling back to meet with a friend in the town of Willisau where we went on a tour of the Diwisa Distillery where they make Xellent Swiss Vodka. I, being of sound mind, body, and remembering the insurance note I signed regarding the Porsche, did not partake in any of the samples. We enjoyed the educational and informative tour of the Diwisa Distillery, but alas it was time to fire-up the engine and cruise back to Lucerne, though we did take a few turns to extend our seat time. Recalling my physics classes, "two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time," translated, that is what the accelerator pedal was for; I used this feature to its proper functionality. The navigation system worked to perfection as it told me in a calm and engaging voice 'where to go,' and I enjoyed it. Debra noted how smooth the ride was regardless of the speed, so our experiment was a success.





It鈥檚 supremely comfortable and unmatched when it comes to off-road ability, but it鈥檚 also one of the most practical cars you can buy and will easily seat seven people in comfort. The Land Rover has the biggest boot and also has more kit in HSE Luxury form - despite being cheaper to buy. Running costs are a little high, though. BMW鈥檚 first foray into the luxury SUV segment is a success. The X7 is good to drive, comfortable and has nearly as much space inside as the Discovery, while its cabin is of an even higher quality. BMW鈥檚 infotainment set-up is brilliant as well, and there鈥檚 lots of boot space with all seven seats in place. It loses out to the better-value Land Rover here, but is still a top choice if you鈥檙e after a huge, luxurious SUV. The finishing order here could easily be flipped if you鈥檙e a company car buyer, because the efficient XC90 T8 is much cheaper for business users to run. It鈥檚 great for those who cover short distances, because you can run in ultra-quiet and low-cost EV mode. The Volvo is slightly outclassed here for luxury, practicality and comfort, though, which is what many buyers will be looking for in this class. But it鈥檚 still a great choice. The Audi Q7 is a lower-cost option if you鈥檙e after a big, premium SUV, so with our budget here you can get into a high-spec Black Edition model. The Q7 is spacious and has a top-quality cabin, but it isn鈥檛 as luxurious or as advanced as the Land Rover or BMW. It's possible to buy a nearly new Range Rover at this budget; we found a few with delivery miles only for around 拢75,000 in Vogue form with Land Rover鈥檚 diesel V6. The Range Rover is more luxurious than the Discovery inside, but it doesn鈥檛 have seven seats.





When the first Range Rover Evoque came out in 2011, it wowed onlookers with concept car-like looks. For this new version, Land Rover saw little need to change the styling because customers have always loved it - you could argue that the Evoque was the first SUV that could be considered cool. What customers found less cool were the original Evoque鈥檚 refinement and cabin space, so plenty of emphasis has been placed on both areas when developing this new model. But buyers didn鈥檛 want it to be any bigger on the outside and, being a Land Rover, it still needed to perform off road. It also had to be more frugal, so space for mild hybrid setups was required, too. As a result, the structure of this new car is almost completely new and significantly stronger than before - the only metalwork carried over is the door hinges. This stiffer structure, revised engine mounts and overhauled suspension are said to increase comfort and refinement significantly.





And the good news is that it all seems to have worked. From behind the wheel, the Evoque feels very much like the baby Range Rover you鈥檇 hope it would be. The ride quality on the 20-inch wheels of our test car - wheel sizes range from 17 to 21 inches - is excellent. In comfort mode, it offers a similar floaty feeling to the air-suspended larger members of the Range Rover family. The trade off is that it isn鈥檛 as fun to drive as a BMW X1, but grip is strong and the steering precise enough. The optional adaptive dampers seem redundant though: the differences in ride and handling between comfort and sport modes are so subtle that there鈥檚 barely any point changing them. Under the bonnet, the Evoque gets the same range of 鈥業ngenium鈥?four cylinder engines used by the last car. This time, however, all but the most basic 148bhp diesel get a 48-volt mild hybrid system.

My Sportster Experience




The supercharger pulley can't be modified, nor can the ECU be remapped, and exhaust headers can not be replaced. With a particular JCW physique bundle, revised suspension, a lower ride height, bigger wheels and brakes, and a more raucous exhaust system, the automobile appears the part of a hotted-up Cooper. But these guys have confirmed they are nothing if not flexible, meaning they don't seem to be that strict in what type of rallying they take part in. Simply make certain that you obtain the ones that you'll want so you won't have any hassle. We've got totally different Dog tuners falling into this class. 40,000, whereas DaimlerChrysler displayed a Dodge Challenger, primarily based on the Chrysler 300 platform, that seemed all-but equivalent to the 1970 authentic. Whereas all the five hundred versions are fun to drive, Fiat鈥檚 excessive performance Abarth version - it even wears a Scorpion badge - is no normal small car.





The Eos Lux adds even more luxurious objects like leather seating, burl walnut interior trim, a energy front-passenger seat, park-distance management, power-folding facet mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The interior is uninspiring but functional.
