2013 DB9 Review

Aston Martin has made the new DB9 many times better than the previous model. It's advanced dynamics, luxurious interior, and powerful engine all come together for create an magnificent grand-tourer. The engine is a hand-built 6.0L V12 producing 510 HP and 457 lb-ft of torque which is connected to a 6 speed automatic transmission. All that power is going to the rear wheels through Pirelli P Zero tires. Fitted to the tires are 20" inch aluminum wheels. You can stop on a dime with carbon-ceramic brakes and in comfort with a three mode adjustable suspension. 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds with a top speed of just 186 MPH. And when you step inside you are surrounded by a plethora of high quality leather and super comfortable seats. The exterior is stunning with an aggressive and signature Aston Martin front end with stylish sides and taillights. Starting price is $183,300 and for that price you aren't just paying for the name, your paying for luxurious power.

Mercedes E-Class Convertible

While the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan and E63 AMG sedan have been spotted with varying degrees of camouflage today we can share new spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible as well as a Mercedes teaser video of what appears to be the headlights of the new E-Class. 

Like the 2014 E-Class sedan, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible is expected to get revised front and rear bumpers as well as one-piece headlights. Once the convertible rolls into dealerships, it may have a more upright grille and a more chiseled hood, like the car shown here. Refreshed LED taillights are also in the four-seat drop-tops future. 

In contrast to the upcoming E-Class sedan, on the two-door 2014 E-Class models the bulging rear fenders will carry on until at least until the next-generation arrives. Check out this new teaser video from Mercedes showing its new headlight direction with new LEDs that look remarkably similar to those on the new E-Class mules we've seen.

Jaguar XFR-S

Jaguar has released this first teaser picture of the Jaguar XFR-S, set to be the most powerful and focused version of the firm's BMW 5 Series rival.

Full details and images will be released at the Los Angeles Motor Show, but it's more than likely that the XFR-S will be powered by the same supercharged 5.0-litre engine found in the XKR-S. That would mean 542bhp and a 0-62mph time of around 4.5 seconds.

Expect to see a firmer suspension set-up for improved handling and an upgraded interior, featuring bespoke sports seats, too.

This early picture clearly shows its aggressive carbon-fibre bumper, complete with gaping air intakes but recent spy shots reveal the XFR-S gets a large fixed rear spoiler, too, just like the XKR-S.

Expect the super-saloon to hit UK showrooms in early 2013, priced at around 75,000.
