Stuttgart designers hard at work

I've never been a fan of drop tops.

The recent evolution of hard top convertibles by mostly German automakers was as exciting as the build up of the 2011 Audi A8. Keeping everything shrouded in secrecy did not really go well in my books, as you can visualise how it will "transform". Will it be a very grown up A4, or a grown up A6? Spot on for both guesses. Zoom your A4 to the max in your computer screen and there is your A8.










Introducing: the all new Audi A8.

Enough of going OT.

This entry is dedicated to the newest model in Porsche's lineup.

The previous model made me feel that the chief designer wanted to build a Tuscani for the weekly Sunday morning marketing.

Hollow bodywork and confusing curves made me uneasy after the introduction.

Wasn't really optimistic waiting for the successor, but finally, the artist used his master hand to whip up a delightful piece of art.

The Boxster Spyder looks stunning at every angle.

No signs of cheap interior and sluggish styling.

Coupled with the PDK transmission and flat six, this car produces a sonorous melody which would make Oprah wonder why she didn't wait longer to give this car to her audience.

A sub 6 time is respectable for an entry level model, unlike the low 7s from its predecessor.

Watch this video and turn up your volume.

Do not expect Pagani-like sound but just soak into the sweetness of its flat six.
