RK Coupe

“””A collaboration between German automaker RUF and Italian coachbuilder Studiotorino, the RUF RK Coupe/Spyder is based off of the Porsche Cayman. Available in both Coupe and Spyder formats, the RK takes design cues from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, the Porsche 550, and the Porsche 904. With a flat-6 3.8 L supercharged engine (the RK in RUF Coupe/Spyder stands for RUF Kompressor), the RK Coupe pumps out 324 kW (440 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 470 N·m (347 lb-ft) of torque at 5,500 rpm.”””

“””Between 1969 and 1974, and again between 1989 and 2002, Nissan produced a high performance version of its Skyline range, called the Nissan Skyline GT-R. This car proved to be iconic for Nissan and achieved much fame and success on road and track. The Nissan GT-R, although no longer carrying the "Skyline" badge (because it is designed from the ground up) has heritage in the Nissan Skyline GT-R. Like the Skyline GT-Rs R32 through R34, the Nissan GT-R is AWD with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine; however, the evolutionary, incremental changes between Skyline models R32 through R34 have been done away with. The four-wheel-steering system has been done away with, plus the traditional straight-6 RB26DETT engine has been replaced with a new V6 VR38DETT.^[5] Because of the GT-R's heritage the chassis code for the all-new version has been called CBA-R35,^[6] or 'R35' for short”””

- I like the rugged look of this car.

“””The Mini is a small car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 to 2000. The most popular British-made car ever, it has since been replaced by the New MINI, which was launched in April 2001. The original is considered an icon of the 1960s,^[2][3][4] and its space-saving front-wheel-drive layout (that allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage), influenced a generation of car-makers.^[5]

This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis.^[6][7] It was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in the United Kingdom, and later also in Spain (Authi), Australia, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. The Mini Mk I had three major updates: the Mk II, the Clubman and the Mk III. Within these was a series of variations including an estate car, a pickup truck, a van and the Mini Moke — a jeep-like buggy. The Mini Cooper and Cooper "S" were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally three times.”””

Fiat 500

- This car is cute, I just hope its price is as small as its design.

“””The Fiat 500 (the "cinquecento" [chink-weh-chen-toh] from the Italian word for "500") is a car produced by the Fiat company of Italy between 1957 and 1975 (the Fiat 500 K alone was produced until 1977) and from 2007 on. It was designed by Dante Giacosa.

Launched as the Nuova 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car to combat high levels of congestion in Italian cities. Measuring only 2.97 m (9 ft 9 in) long, and originally powered by a tiny 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term "small car" and is considered one of the first city cars.”””

Lamborghini Reventón

- This is a good design made by Lamborghini but they made a better job with the Lamborghini Murcielago.

“””The Lamborghini Reventón is a supercar that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.^[1] It will be the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini to date, costing one million euro.^[2] The official press release states that only 20 will be built, but it was later reported that the total number would be 100.^[3] The exterior styling was inspired by the F-22 Raptor.^[1] Although the exterior is partially new, almost the entire mechanics (including the engine) are taken directly from the Murciélago LP640.”””

Alfa Romeo

- The shining red color of this car made it so impressive and sexy.

“””The Alfa Romeo 8C name was used on road, race and sports cars of the 1930s. The 8C means 8 cylinders, and originally referred to a straight 8 cylinder engine. The Vittorio Jano designed 8C was Alfa Romeo's primary racing engine from its introduction in 1931 to its retirement in 1939. In its later development it powered such vehicles as the twin engined 1935 6.3 litre Bimotore, the 1935 3.8 litre Monoposto 8C 35 Type C, and the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia Roadster. It also powered top of the range coachbuilt production models. In 2004 Alfa Romeo revived the 8C name for a V8 engined concept car which has made it into production for 2007, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.”””
