BMW Z4 and Audi RS4s (UK) Paintball fight

The BMW Z4 is defiantly not the most expensive BMW nor the fastest, but it is affordable (for a BMW) and fast for its price. The Z4 comes in three options but I will talk about the Sport version because its better. Also it comes in either automatic or manual transmission. The Z4 is rather heavy because of being a convertible car companies have to add extra support to compensate for the loss of a egg like support around the driver. Even though the Z4 only has two seats it weighs 3549lbs. Now to move this heavy German, BMW put a 3.0L, twin-turbo, inline 6 which punches out 335hp at 5900rpm and 332 ft-lb of torque at 1500rpm. Now even though it does not have a very powerful engine and is also very heavy it can still do an electronically limited 155mph and 0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds. Plus you can get 17/24mpg for only $64,200.

Concept update: Peugeot Onyx

Around February 22 Top Gear Magazine got to drive the new concept car From the French car company Peugeot. And unlike most concept cars this one could actually drive quite fast like in a 600bhp, 3.7 V8 diesel out of their 2012 908 Le Mans race car. To help the giant engine there is a very well made sequential gear box operated by paddle shifters. Also the Onyx only weighs 2,425lbs with bronze body panels but it does have a carbon-fiber chassis. The power-to-weight ratio is 545bhp/tone which is a little more then a "normal" Bugatti Vayron. It is also very good in the corners, with suspension that handles well but somehow is also very comfortable. Specially since the Onyx has 20 inch rims and low profile tires. Unfortunately the Onyx is worth over $1,306,380 and will most likely not be built but we can only hope for the best.

Concept Update: McLaren P1

On March 5 at 10:15 am GMT McLaren will finally unveil its second hyper car that will tread in the footsteps of the McLaren F1. Yesterday they unveiled the dash for the McLaren P1. Well the instrument cluster in race mode. The Also told Top Gear that when in race mode the lovely rear wing will move to a rather appealing and aerodynamic stance. Mobil 1 will work on the fluids for the hydraulic wing while  Pirelli will work on the tires and Akebono will handle the breaks.The McLaren will also feature a power-to-weight ratio of 600bhp per ton. It will also sit on the same carbon tub as the MP4-12C, and will feature KERS too. KERS or Kinetic Energy Recover System, gives a boost from kinetic energy or heat given off from breaking. Pretty cool huh, oh this system is used on the Prius to recharge the batteries. Oh, and it will generate over 600kg or 1,332.7736lb of downforce.

 P1 so far at the Paris Auto Show in Sep of 2012
