The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck introduced by Toyota in the year 2000. It was widely considered to be the first full-size import-brand truck built with an American look and feel and a refined V8 engine. The Tundra was eventually nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award and was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year in 2000 and 2008. Currently the Tundra is assembled in San Antonio, Texas where production was consolidated in 2008.

The first generation Toyota Tundra had many similarities with the older Toyota T100 and the compact Toyota Tacoma. The biggest of those similarities was the shared use of a 3.4-liter V6 engine which was the top of the line engine in both the Tacoma and T100. The V6 engine would serve as the base engine for the Tundra, while a second powerplant, a first for a Toyota truck, a V8 engine sized at 4.7-liters was added to the lineup.

Volkswagen Golf Wallpapers

On the whole, employees of car manufacturers reside in one of two camps: the hardcore petrolheads who’ve spent a lifetime dreaming of creating the ideal driving machine, and the number-crunching bean-counters that spend their days observing and analysing statistics and market trends, optimising sales and crushing the dreams of the first group. This is a successful formula in general terms, encouraging development and evolution within the industry whilst maintaining consistent sales through models that have a broad appeal. For aftermarket tuners and DIY mechanics, it’s a positive joy to tweak the aspects of a car that have been softened for mass consumption; stiffer suspension, lower profile tyres, less restrictive exhaust systems that would run the risk of pleasing a few but offending many if they were fitted in the mainstream.

Citroen DS3 Wallpapers

The Citroën DS3 is a supermini, produced by French manufacturer Citroën from 2009. This is the first car in the new Citroën DS3 (Different Spirit) range from Citroën. It was first hinted by the concept car Citroën DS3 Inside. This range of vehicle shares no common feature with, and is in no way the successor to, the Citroën DS3. The Citroën DS3 is a compact car which competes against the MINI, Alfa Romeo MiTo and Audi A1.

The Citroën DS3 features prominently in the video for the Pixie Lott song "Broken Arrow". It is the first car that has had product placement in a British music video.

The Citroën DS3 has been named 2010 Car of the Year by Top Gear magazine.

Cadillac SRX Wallpapers

The Cadillac SRX squares off with the likes of the Lexus RX, Lincoln MKX, BMW X5 and Mercedes ML-Class. First introduced in 2004 as a true station wagon, the Cadillac SRX was completely redesigned for the 2010 model year and born again in the form of a stylish crossover. Just two years later, the Cadillac SRX has already benefited from a powertrain update as well.

Rather than offer a less-than-luxury grade 3.0-liter V6 and a 2.8-liter turbocharged unit as the premium offering, Cadillac SRX dropped both engines and decided to go with a single engine - a new 3.6-liter V6 that produces an improved 308 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, while expected to match the fuel economy figures of both engines it replaced as well at 18 city, 25 highway. GM still uses the Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic as the transmission of choice

Koenigsegg CCX Wallpapers

The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined roadster from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. The Koenigsegg CCX has been engineered to comply with the U.S. regulation and market demands and is a newer design that replaced the Koenigsegg CCR.

Koenigsegg CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupé X; the X commemorating the 10th anniversary (being the Roman numeral for ten) of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.

The Koenigsegg CCX was first unveiled on February 28, 2006 at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show although its existence was announced earlier. A derivative known as the Koenigsegg CCXR is available, the main difference being that Koenigsegg CCXR's engine is tuned to run on biofuel. The different fuel and tune allows the Koenigsegg CCXR to produce 25% more power than the Koenigsegg CCX.

Buick Regal GS Wallpapers

The 2012 Buick Regal GS, which arrives at dealerships this fall, has been SAE-certified to deliver 270 horsepower (201kW) and 295 lb.-ft. of torque (400Nm) for an estimated 0-60 mph performance of 6.7 seconds.

2012 Buick Regal GS's exclusive Ecotec 2.0L direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers more torque than Acura TSX V-6, Audi A4 Sport, Lexus IS 250 and Volvo S60 T5. Torque is the twisting force that gets a vehicle moving and what the driver feels when accelerating.

“The2012 Buick Regal GS 2.0L turbo delivers the highest specific output of any production engine GM has ever offered, and at 135 hp per liter is the most power dense engine ever certified by SAE,” said Mike Anderson, Ecotec global chief engineer and program manager.

SSC Ultimate Aero Wallpapers

The SSC Ultimate Aero is an American-built mid-engine supercar by Shelby SuperCars. The higher-performance limited production version, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT produces more emissions-legal horsepower than any other production automobile in the world and previously held the Guinness Book of World Records record for being the fastest production car in the world (succeeded by the 2010 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport), with a recorded speed of 412.29 km/h (256.19 mph). This speed was achieved during tests on September 13, 2007 West Richland, Washington, United States and verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007. This speed however does not reflect the SSC Ultimate Aero TT's full potential. SSC estimates that the newer, more powerful and lighter weight 2009 Ultimate Aero TT is capable of a top speed of over 300 mph (480 km/h). The SSC Ultimate Aero does not have electronic aids such as ABS brakes or traction control because (to quote Jerod Shelby) "Early design philosophy on the car was to make it a drivers car. I wanted a car that you not only throttled with your right foot but at times you could steer with your right foot.".

Fiat Linea Wallpapers

The Fiat Linea, which was present in Istanbul last October, now makes its market debut. This three-box Segment C saloon gives a new interpretation of styling, practicality and enjoyable driving, all for an extremely competitive price/contents ratio. The car was developed by Tofas A.S., the 50-50 joint venture between Fiat Auto and Koç Holding which is listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange. It will be manufactured in the plant in Bursa, Turkey (fully operative, output will reach 60,000 units per year) and will be marketed in a number of European and non-European countries: Spain, Germany, Morocco and Finland. At a later date, the Fiat Linea will also be manufactured in Brazil, India, China and Russia. The new model clearly has an international vocation; it was designed by the Fiat Style Centre, and its exterior styling is elegant, dynamic and typically ‘Italian’. The aim was to appeal to the public with uncluttered, smooth lines which confirm the new Fiat family feeeling (from the Grande Punto to the new Bravo), while they offer a new reading of the stylistic elements of the great Italian motoring tradition in the saloon segment. This extraordinary stylistic heritage has now produced the Fiat Linea, a 4-door saloon that is sleek and elegant, but with generous dimensions that put it at the top of its class: it is 4.56 metres long, 1.73 metres wide, 1.5 metres tall and has a wheelbase of 2.6 metres, as well as a 500 litre luggage compartment.

Ford GT Car Wallpapers

Ford GT was created on the base model of Ford GT40 race car, which in 1966 LeMans race beat all of its competition - the best racers with best racing cars in the world.
The fact that it can be driven on the highway as well as on the race-track is really amazing. This car does not use any special aviation fuel like most of the supercars and yet it is known to outperform it's rival cars like the Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini. Ford Motor Company has decided to produce only 4200 GT sports car units in the 2005-2006 years. Depending on chosen accessories, retail price varies from $143,000 to $157,000. Ford GT is really incredible when it comes to its racing performance. In 0-60mph test GT (3.3 sec) beats a $193,000 Ferrari Challenge Stradale (4.0 sec) by 0.7 seconds.
