Mansory Bugatti Veyron Vincero

While it is not uncommon to see at least one Bugatti Veyron at the Mall of Emirates on a daily basis, it is also not uncommon to see a Bugatti Veyron modified in limited quantity by a specialty tuner such as Mansory. The Mansory Bugatti Veyron Vincero is covered in beautiful glossy carbon fiber from ass to mouth and is loaded with chrome accents which run from the front fenders through to the door panels. Vincero means win win in Italian. I absolutely love the subtle chrome bar that runs across the front grill in the shape of a V as seen below. The inside gets a typically Mansory two-tone black and white upgrade and only 3 have been made. I absolutely love it's overall look, however the inside is a little too white which doesn't suit the dark and aggressive gangster look. However I guess white seats in the hot Dubai sun would pickup less heat.   [Source: PrestigeCars.ae]

Nissan 370Z goes on sale today, priced at $29,930

A simplified trim lineup and just a handful of available configurations for 2009 make the new Nissan 370Z a simpler car than its predecessor, but paradoxically, new features and options have made the car considerably more complex. Starting sales today at $29,930 for the six-speed manual-equipped coupe, the new Z is priced aggressively considering its performance targets. Whether the 370Z can reach its goal of competing successfully with the Boxster and its ilk remains to be seen in full testing, but at a glance, the car offers a lot for its price. 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe

Spy shots: 2011 Porsche Cayenne interior revealed

Prototypes for Porsche's next-generation Cayenne have been spotted testing in Germany on several occasions, revealing crucial details for the new SUV which is expected to go on sale by May 2010. First and foremost, we know the next Cayenne will be smaller than the current model although it will still share a common platform with the next-generation Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7, both of which are not expected to change significantly in size compared with current versions. The smaller size of the new Cayenne agrees with Porsche's desire to create a much more hard-core performance SUV than the current model, which has been criticized for being too heavy.
