To truly understand the roots of a European vehicle you must venture to its homeland to experience its birth, study its environment and speak intimately with its people. Until then you will second guess your judgment indefinitely. So welcome to Modena, Italy to experience a beautiful lady: The 2009 Maserati GranTurismo S.

The names from the stable created by Bentley founder Walter Owen Bentley are legendary: MkVI, R-Type & T-Type, Continental S1&S2, Mulsanne, and Arnage.

Legends aren’t made, they’re born. So when BMW decided to play around with racing in 1986 they also found themselves playing with history. For 2008, the 4th generation M3 is offered as a coupe and a four-door sedan with the convertible to follow shortly. The four-liter naturally aspirated light-alloy powerplant outputs 414 horspower at 8300 rpm and 295 pound-feet of torque at 3900 rpm. It doesn’t redline until 8400 rpm so the high-revving engine is able to hold each gear longer for maximum acceleration. With a power to weight ratio of 8.9 lbs/hp the new V8 is stronger, yet lighter than the 3.2-liter 333 horsepower straight six it replaces from the third gen M3. Expect the coupe to move you from 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph.
Jay Leno hosted the auctioning of the very first retail Corvette ZR1. The powder blue ‘Vette eventually sold for 1 million at Barrett-Jackson. Arriving July ’08, the ZR1 is GM’s fastest and most powerful production vehicle with its supercharged 6.2L LS9 V-8 that produces at least 620 horsepower. Incredibly, the ‘Vette moves from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds and exceeds the 200 mph mark. Order now because only 2,000 will be produced annually.
To exemplify our passionate feelings we chose a Bronze 2009 Jaguar XF SV8 with its supercharged 4.2-liter V8 to power us through the streets of Monaco in the south of France. The all-new sports sedan hits the market this spring as the replacement for the slow selling S-Type. It’s Jag’s latest creation since the exquisite redesign of the XK coupe and convertible.
