CoulVue – a must-have for those long holiday car trips

CoulVue will securely mount your iPad 2 on the headrest of your car so your passengers will have the delight of watching movies and videos while you travel. I know this line sounds too overused already, but every product comes with something new to boost.

Shelby GT name returns Mustang with up to 624 hp

Outrageous. Over-the-top. Completely ludicrous. Believe it or not, such descriptions of the Shelby GT500 aren't hyperbole. Recently updated along with its convertible sibling, the GT500 packs a 662-horsepower V8 that's officially the most powerful eight-cylinder production engine ever made.

Thanks in part to a TVS series 2300 (2.3-liter) supercharger that provides 14.0 psi of maximum boost, the 5.8-liter V8 is also able to crank out no less than 631 lb-ft of torque. An impressive 395 lb-ft are available just off idle at 1,000rpm, making the GT500 an ideal burnout machine, and more 90 percent of the car's torque is available in the 2,200 to 5,800 rpm range.

Its performance data 523 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. The S600 will celebrate its world premiere at the Detroit Auto Show and will be launched in the spring of 2014. But the S-Class will also get even better in other ways: The models in the current range will be upgraded wîth the addition of a head-up display, touchpad and COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLÚS.

'The S-Class has always been the embodiment of our claim to deliver the very best in terms of both technology and design', emphasised Ola Kallenius, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars.

Our customers in North America and Asia in particular will enjoy this new top model wîth its exciting V12 engine.'

The maximum torque of 612 lb-ft is available from 1,900 rpm. The S600 now for the first time features the ECO start/stop function as standard.

Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6: Taking the desert by storm

Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series show vehicle is an off-roader which represents the last word in forward-thrusting power far from the beaten track. 400 kW (544 hp), a 6x6 drive, low-range ratio, five differential locks, portal axles, tyre pressure control system and a special chassis allow this pickup to make good progress in environments where the concept of individual mobility normally bites the dust as soon as the road ends. But anyone who imagines that this is a Dakar-Rally-style vehicle is on the wrong track. Thanks to the wealth of interior enhancements from the AMG stable, the occupants can enjoy the highest possible degree of comfort, even when negotiating the worst that the combined forces of topography and meteorology can throw at them. The exclusive touches even extend to the load area which is finished in solid bamboo. 

The Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series show vehicle brings together the best of three worlds. The latest, revised G-Class series-production models lend the superior off-roader the effortless superiority and refinement of a vehicle which has dominated the off-road scene for 34 years. They are also the source of the up-to-date interior concept wîth the contemporary dashboard featuring impressive new instruments and a large, central colour display. Únreserved robustness as well as practicality and a can-do attitude to off-road driving are the traits inherited from the military and the commercial G-Class models. Finally, the renowned Mercedes-AMG luxury and performance division contributes the superior engine technology and the interior which is as luxurious as it is comfortable.

2014 Chevy Silverado North American Truck of the Year

The redesigned 2014 Chevy Silverado meets the demands of modern pickup truck owners in a number of ways.

Jaguar Releases XK66 Special Edition

The Jaguar XK66 Special Edition is one of these. Produced in a limited run of 66 units for the German market, the XK66 marks 66 years since the introduction of theXK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show.

Based on the Jaguar XK Portfolio and powered by the 380hp (385PS) 5.0-liter V8 engine, the XK66 will be available both as a coupe and convertible, with only two available colors - the original XK’s British Racing Green and Stratus hues.

Besides the two exclusive body colors, distinctive styling features include the XK66 emblem mounted at the rear and below the side air intake, chrome mirror caps, 20-inch “Orona” polished alloy wheels, black Union Jack emblems on the hub caps and tire valves, as well as black or beige fabric roof for the convertible versions.

On the inside, the dashboard features an “XK66 One of 66” plate on the passenger side, with other amenities including a choice of Caramel soft grain leather with Warm Charcoal contrast stitching or Warm Charcoal leather with Ivory contrast stitching. Glossy walnut burl wood trim and aluminum shift paddles complete the interior upgrades.

Toyota Gives 2014 4Runner SUV

Toyota has lifted the veil off its updated for the 2014 model year, 4 Runner mid-size SUV at the Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. The refresh for the fifth generation of the Toyota's body-on-frame SUV brings a somewhat tougher look on the outside and a few styling and technology updates to the interior, but other than that, there are no other significant changes.

Looking at 2014 4 Runner from the outside, you'll first notice the redesigned front fascia featuring a more rugged and aggressive appearance, with the massive front grille and smoked headlights also contributing to the meaner look. The Trail grade also comes with a hood scoop and silver painted front and rear bumper accents, while all trim levels are offered as standard with a roof rack.

At the rear end, the changes include the redesigned rear combination lamps with LEDs on all models, and new trims for the tailgate and bumper. The profile remains the same sans the new alloy wheel options.

Ford f-150 svt raptor special edition 2014

The latest addition to the ever-expanding F-150 SVT Raptor family adds unique touches to vehicle’s already available Luxury Package, including a Ruby Red Metallic exterior color or Tuxedo Black Metallic. The vehicle also comes with special box-side graphics.

Inside, buyers will find upgrades including Brick Red seat bolsters with black inserts; more of the Brick Red color on the center console and door panels; and black honeycomb highlights.

No mechanical upgrades are offered this time around, unfortunately. Although we doubt many owners will be complaining considering the stock engine is a 6.2-liter V-8 with 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque available. This engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode and pseudo manual control.

The all-wheel-drive system features electronic shift-on-the-fly capability for the transfer case, and the front axle features a Torsen differential with 4.10 to 1 gearing while the rear gets the same but with an electronic-locking differential as well.

All-terrain tires and the Raptor’s exclusive internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers also remain as standard.
