The new 2010 Lotus Evora will be released just in time for those big shot CEOs that got a taste of the economic stimulus (and I'll be willing to bet many of them will use the money on something like this, for "business").
It broadens the field of sports automobiles with a new concept: more head room without sacrificing power and style. When compared to earlier Lotus models (Elise, Exige) the Evora has a total of nearly two feet added to the length of the frame.
What makes the Evora increasingly more imaginative is the fact that all that extra room is

The New (New) Nissan GT-R
by B Kenney March 17th, 2009 | Car Reviews, General Auto News, Porsche News, Racing News, Tuning Cars
The Nissan GT-R is definitely a newer car and has not been around long; most would consider it brand new. An Ohio-based performance garage has redesigned the car and made it new again.
The Nissan GT-R has a stock 480 horsepower rating, which still makes for a decent ride. However, Switzer Performance Innovation (located in Oberlin, Ohio), felt that 480hp wasn't nearly enough and boosted the rating up to 700hp.
Switzer tuned the car by adding new turbochargers, custom compressor wheels, a Monster inter-cooler and a completely remapped engine control device. The new customization options actually enhance the GT-R from stock ratings

by B Kenney September 23rd, 2008 | Auto Shopping, Car Reviews, Concept Cars
Ever heard of a Bugatti Veyron? If not, then it's probably because the car is way out of your price range, selling at a huge $1.5 million US dollars. It’s got everything a very expensive sports car should have: a sleek and sexy design, a supercharged engine for top speeds, and great maneuverability and handling. Sadly, however, most of the general public will never lay eyes upon such a powerful machine. Consumers will, however, be able to purchase a brand new Nissan GT-R in the $80,000 price range.
