The Fiat Abarth's aren't exactly lookers, either. Almost like the result of a Mini and a Smart getting together in a drunken stupor. That said, they are supposed to be a blast to drive and I certainly wouldn't mind one!

A friend of mine has a Toyota Century he imported a couple years back, very cool. They use a Hemi-V8 only used in the century. Not a dodge hemi obviously, but they use a hemi head and the spark plugs go through the center of the head in an OHV motor.

The US is supposed to be getting the Fiat 500, MAYBE, we'll get the Abarth. As the japanese are bringing us Nismo, F-Sport, TRD, etc and the Germans have always brought us AMG, ///M, S-line, etc maybe its becoming obvious us 'Mericans like us some performance drivers.

Audi RS6 Avant,
Quote:
Audi claims the first all-aluminium alloy 5.0 litre (4,991 cc (304.6 cu in)) 90° V10 twin-turbocharged ("biturbo"), Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), with a dry sump lubrication system. It has four valves per cylinder, with twin chain-driven double overhead camshafts (2xDOHC), and variable valve timing[11] for both inlet and exhaust camshafts. Charged intake air is cooled with two side-mounted intercoolers (SMIC)s. This V10 engine produces a maximum motive power output of 426 kilowatts (579 PS; 571 bhp) at 6,250 to 6,700 rpm, and generates 650 newton metres (479 ft·lbf) of torque from 1,500 to 6,250 rpm.

According to the thread it is:

Wiesmann MF3
The Wiesmann is a German take on classic British roadsters like the Triumph TR6. Being German, though, it has the engine out of a BMW M3 and hits 60 in under 5 seconds; when you have the Autobahn, we guess, taking it slow is unacceptable.

Thanks! Very cool looking car. Found the Weismann site. I really like the looks of MF3 and MF4.

From the www.ford.co.uk website. the Base price for a Ford Escort RS = £27,895.00.


£1 = $1.45 USD (pretty low, it's usually $1.60)

Therefore the base price for an Escort RS = $40447.75 USD

That's GT500 and Corvette money.

Well actually if you look at the prices they are 1 to 1. so it is more like $27 000.
Mercedes new C class here is $30/45 in the UK is £23/45

S 500 here is cheaper compare to the same car in the UK

Starting at £57 for S350 and going up to £150 K for S600, how much is the most expensive S class here?
S-Class range from $87,475 for the S550, $144,975 for the S600

So following your logic the S600 here should cost: $220 000.00
