The latest Shelby GT 350, which was released for 2011, has been modified and re designed just like the Ford Mustang. Just like its 2007- 2009 models, the Shelby GT 350 of 2011 features one of a kind rear and front fascias, a hood that features functional vents and a very stylish rear spoiler. A Gurney flap, which is completely functional, is also included in the rear spoiler of the car.
Like the traditional stripes that are painted on to the Shelby GT 350, a new range of colors are also available for the car and now buyers also have the option of extending the exterior stripes in to the interior of the car to give it a more matching look. The car received a huge boost when talking about engines and the new Shelby GT 350 features a powerful 5.4 L aluminum engine which is approximately 102 pounds lighter when you consider its weight with the previous model. More over, the engine is capable of generating horse power up to 540 hp.
The Shelby GT 350’s fuel efficiency was also increased by approximately 2 miles per gallon. Overall, the Shelby GT 350 is a very stylish sports car that is designed by Ford.
WASHINGTON — Hyundai Motor Co. said it is voluntarily recalling 139,500 Sonata sedans in the U.S. because of a manufacturing defect that could cause drivers to lose steering control.
The U.S. government had opened an investigation into possible steering problems in the vehicle in August. Hyundai, South Korea's top automaker, has said there have been no related injuries or crashes reported.
Owners of affected vehicles can go to their dealers for inspection. Dealers also will update power steering software. Owners may also call NHTSA at 888-327-4236 for more information.
The recall comes as automakers ramp up their focus on safety and quality control in the wake of Toyota Motor Corp.'s massive global recall last year over gas pedal and floor mat problems. In February, Hyundai announced a recall of about 47,000 Sonata midsize sedans, mostly sold in South Korea, to replace front door latches following a handful of customer complaints. The company said it had discovered a mechanical problem with the latches which, in rare instances, would not close properly.
Earlier this month, Hyundai affiliate Kia Motors said Chung Sung-eun resigned as vice chairman following a global recall of more than 100,000 vehicles due to defective wiring. Of that total, 35,185 vehicles were recalled in the United States. Together, Kia and Hyundai form the world's fifth-largest automotive group.
So far this year, U.S. sales are up 17 percent for Hyundai Motor America, though August sales fell 11 percent from a year-earlier record sparked by federal Cash for Clunkers rebates. The new Sonata has been selling well and nearly doubled its sales numbers to 21,399 in August.
Inside and out, Laramie Longhorn is loaded with remarkable features.
“The Ram Laramie Longhorn edition is going to share a driveway with some fine luxury cars,” said Fred Diaz, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “The only difference is the Ram Laramie Longhorn edition is going to be the vehicle with the fulltime job – towing the horse trailer, taking the crew to the game, picking up supplies. It’s ready to go from the dirt to downtown.”
Ram Truck officials unveiled the Laramie Longhorn in the heart of Truck Country: the State Fair of Texas.
“We took Ram Laramie Longhorn’s design cues from traditionally handcrafted, time-tested wares, such as the antique pocket watch, a fine pair of hand-tooled leather cowboy boots, a collector’s-grade shotgun or a horseman’s saddle,” said Ryan Nagode, Design Program Lead. “The metal work and leather work are second to none.”
“The Infiniti Performance Line is designed to push the premium performance envelope for buyers seeking a higher level of exclusivity and driving exhilaration,” said Wendy Durward, Director, Infiniti Canada. “IPL promises unique driving attributes from other Infiniti models, without adding stratospheric prices.”
The IPL G Convertible Concept follows the world debut of the first production vehicle in the new Infiniti Performance Line, the 2011 IPL G Coupe, at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August. The limited production IPL G Coupe, which features a 348-horsepower 3.7-litre V6, high-flow full dual exhaust, special sport-tuned suspension and steering gear, IPL aerodynamic styling and sport-style IPL interior treatment, is set to go on sale at Infiniti retailers throughout Canada in March, 2011.

Q1:
It was a bit of a procession to get out of the pits for the first sector of qualifying as twelve cars were on the circuit straightaway; while Hamilton was one of the first out, Button, both Ferraris, Red Bulls, Williams, and a few others remained in the garage. The track was delcared dry, though there were a few wet spots, “It looks that there are still some damp patches at turns 3 and 5,” according to Ferrari. Four minutes in and only five drivers had not headed out, with early “fast” times set by Liuzzi, Glock, and other new teams until Hamilton went straight to the top, followed by Kobayashi. Button and Vettel were fastest and second fastest, with Schumacher’s time also eclipsing Hamilton’s, and Liuzzi rouding out the top five with thirteen minutes left in the twenty minute session.
Alonso was soon fastest, but he lost that time to Vettel, both of them the only drivers in the 1:47s range as Alguersuari was a surprise in third, only to be moved backward by Webber’s 1:47.794, with Button fourth fastest. The session was stopped with just over ten minutes left for Massa stopped on the circuit with a suspected engine issue. His session was over before he could set a time. According to Ferrari, “The engine stopped but we need to see what exactly happened once the car will be brought in the garage.” Hulkenberg was the first one back onto the circuit as everyone but his teammate and Alonso stayed in the garage. Neither Williams, Sutil, nor Kubica had set a time, along with the luckless Massa. With seven minutes left in the session, Vettel remained at the top, followed by Alonso, Webber, Button, Alguersuari, Hamilton, Schumacher, Rosberg, Heidfeld, and Liuzzi as the top ten. Still, Barrichello, Kubica, and Sutil had not set a time, until Barrichello went straight to eleventh with his first time. Ferrari also tweeted, “Loos like a problem with electronic management of the gearbox but we need to wait until the car is back in the pit.” Sutil was off to tenth with his first lap.
With five minutes left, Kubica went to third fastest, while Trulli, Glock, Kovalainen, di Grassi, Klien, Senna, and Massa were in the knockout zone. Buemi was in danger of being knocked out, well of the times of Alguersuari up in seventh with two minutes to go as yellow flags were out for a spin by Senna. He continued on once the circuit was clear. Alonso was fastest with a 1:46.541, finally outpacing the Red Bulls, and by four tenths over Vettel. It was still the un-timed Massa along with the new teams in the knockout zone with a minute left while Ferrari was explaining that Massa’s issue was an electronic issue. As the seconds ticked off, Barrichello was seventeenth and on the bubble, despite posting a decent time earlier in the session. He moved up to eighth with his final lap. At the end, Alonso (1:46.541, fastest time of the weekend) led Vettel, Webber, Kubica, Hulkenberg, Button, Alguersuari, Barrichello, Hamilton, and Schumacher as the fastest ten for Q1. Klien was 1.2s faster than teammate Senna, in his first F1 qualifying in years.

Petrov was the first out in Q2, with most of the field onto the circuit in the first of fifteen minutes for Q2. Petrov, then Alguersuari, then Kubica were fastest as they were some of the first drivers out, though Vettel and Webber had soon sandwiched Kubica for first and third, with Alonso and Alguersuari completing the top five with ten minutes left. Petov caused yellow flags for a few seconds as he spun, hitting the right rear wheel and breaking his suspension. With the yellow near Petrov, despite his being on an escape road, a few times were improving, and some drivers were heading for the garage with seven minutes to go, as Hamilton led Vettel, Button, Rosberg, Kubica, Barrichello, Webber, Alonso, Alguersuari, and the stopped Petrov as the top ten after the track returned to green.
Only Alonso, Alguersuari, and Buemi were on the circuit with five and a half minutes to go, as Vettel joined them. Buemi, Kobayashi, Sutil, Heidfeld, Hulkenberg, Liuzzi, and Schumacher were in the knockout zone. Soon only Button was in the garage as Alonso was posting a personal best in the first sector, with Vettel posting the best time of the session in the first sector as Alonso went fastest (1:45.809), leading Hamilton, Vettel, Button, and Rosberg as the top five with two and a half minutes to go. Vettel’s next lap, though, was two and a half tenths faster than Alonso, likely foreshadowing Q3. Alonso pitted as Hulkenberg, Petrov, Buemi, Sutil, heidfeld, Sutil, Liuzzi, and Schumacher were in the knockout zone with one minute left. Schumacher managed ninth to drop Kobayashi to the knockout zone as the session ended. After a session spent nearer the top than usual, Alguersuari did not managed to make it to Q3, as Vettel led Alonso, Webber, Hamilton, Button, Rosberg, Kubica, Barrichello, Schumacher, and Kobayashi as the top ten.

Button was the first driver out, leading the rest of the title contenders and everyone but Barrichello, Kubica, and Kobayashi directly onto the circuit with nine minutes left in the final session for pole. Both McLaren drivers were quite quick in the first sector, only to be barely outpaced by Vettel, with Barrichello matching them in the second sector on his first hot lap. Hamilton’s 1:45.571 was quite quick, though not as much so as Alonso, who had the fastest lap to that point of the weekend, but nearly two tenths on Hamilton. After the first laps, Alonso led Hamilton, Webber, Button, and Barrichello as the top five while neither Kubica nor Kobayashi had posted a time halfway through the ten minute session.
It was back into the garage for everyone with four minutes to go, though Barrichello and Kobayashi remained out on the clear circuit, joined by Kubica for his first run. Webber was a half second off Hamilton’s time for third while Vettel was only seventh fastest as they all began their final runs for pole. With two minutes left no one was in the garage and only time for one flying lap each. Vettel appeared to be one of the first to start his final lap, fastest of all in the first sector. Alonso was a tenth slower in that sector, but two tenths faster in their respective second sectors, and Vettel could not beat the Spaniard’s previously set time on his final lap, leaving the German in second, while Button beat Alonso in the second sector, and Alonso did not improve on his final lap. Neither Hamilton nor Webber were faster than the two-time champion, nor was Button, leaving Alonso’s earlier fast time as the pole-setting lap.

| Lamborghini Jota |
We’re going to warn you now; what you’re about to read probably won’t sit well with you, especially if you’re one of those people that have been waiting for the Lamborghini Jota to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
According to Auto Guide, the highly anticipated successor to the Murcielago won’t be in attendance when the auto show kicks off in a week’s time. Instead, Lamborghini will only be bringing one concept vehicle to the show, the technology demonstrator concept that has been the subject of all those teaser images Lamborghini’s been releasing.

| Lamborghini Jota |
This latest news is, of course, crushing for everyone – including us – who have been waiting with baited breath to see the Jota completely undisguised. Unfortunately, all of us will just have to wait a little while longer.
Despite that largely deflating news, Lamborghini still has plans to make an impact at the annual event with the new technology concept they’ve developed over at Sant’Agata. It’s still one of the vehicles that we’re mostly looking forward to seeing, but it still doesn’t escape our disappointment that we’ll only be seeing one Lamborghini at the event instead of two.
This match-up isn’t something we would usually care about, but with the growing interest in electric vehicle, we figured we would have to just get used to the idea. In this duel, an electric concept and an electric motorcycle went head to head at Thruxton race circuit. The Citroen Survolt and the Agni Z2 were handled by two professional female racers – Vanina Ickx and Jenny Tinmouth.
The Survolt is powered by two electric motors with a combined power of 300bhp from 0 to 5,000rpm. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in under five seconds and can hit a top speed of 162mph. The Agni Z2 features an 65hp all-electric drivetrain and can hit a top speed of 130 mph.
"This was a fantastic experience – the first electric duel of its type. The lack of engine noise made it a very interesting challenge. Normally you have an idea where your opponent is by their sound, but with electric vehicles it’s so much quieter – a new racing dynamic. I had a lot of fun and I’m thrilled to have been part of this unique track event."
So, which of these electric opponents do you think came out on top? Check out the video to see for yourself!
Electric racecar faced electric superbike for the very first time as Citroën’s striking Survolt concept and an Agni Z2 went head-to-head at Thruxton race circuit.
