New York Auto SHow

Porsche Panamera Turbo S

With sales of its four-door coupe hitting record numbers around the globe, Porsche has announced a new top-of-the-line model. The Panamera Turbo S packs a prodigious 550 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbocharged V8 engine – 50 and 37 more than the existing Panamera Turbo.

The extra oomph is said to drive the Turbo S to a 3.6-second 0-60 time and a 190 mph top speed. In other words, supercar levels of performance, with a suitably supercar price: $173,200 is where it starts. The Porsche Panamera Turbo S will be unveiled in April at the New York Auto Show.

Acura TSX Sport Wagon coming to New York

If you're not a fan of the North American-market Honda Accord and are in the market for something more luxurious, Acura has got your destination. The TSX is essentially the European-market Accord (an entirely different model) outfitted with all the luxury trimmings – and a more prestigious badge – that you'd expect from an Acura. Until now it's only been available in four-door sedan body-style, but for those needing a little extra utility, Acura is preparing to unveil a Sport Wagon variant at the upcoming New York Auto Show.

Carrying over essentially from the above-pictured Honda Accord Tourer sold in Europe (where Acura does not market), the TSX Sport Wagon will surely offer a compelling alternative for those who weren't enamoured of either the North American-market Honda Accord Crosstour or the new Acura ZDX crossover.

Oh yay, another flying car story, they are always so pretty but they never can fly. The Milner Motors AirCar will debut at the New York International Auto Show, March 21-30. The Milner Motors AirCar is a four-seat advanced-composite car that is designed so that you can fly to your destination but then fold up the wings and drive it down the highway. There is a foldable main wing in the rear of the vehicle and a lifting projection in the front. It will weight around 3,000 pounds and will reportedly cruise at 200 m.p.h It has a 28-foot wingspan and on the ground the wings fold to seven feet wide. The plane is powered by two rotary engines and a separate 40 horsepower engine powers the car. The prototype they will be displaying at the car show doesn't fly, it's just meant to show that flight is possible. The flying cars are expected to cost $450,000.

Because The CL-Class Just Wasn't Good Enough

by Erin Mays (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

What's better than a Mercedes-Benz, you ask? A Mercedes-Benz with the AMG designation. The German automaker's AMG division, which takes regular old Mercedes vehicles and sups them up with hand-built, high-performance engines and classy bodywork, just turned 40 years old, and it's throwing itself a little party in the form of the Mercedes CL65 AMG.

Based on Mercedes' recently-redesigned CL-class, CL65 AMG purrs with the same 6.0L V12 twin turbo engine found in S65 AMG sedan and SL65 AMG convertible. The best thing about this engine, of course, is the mind-blowing 604 hp and 738 pound-feet of torque, which is enough power to get a school bus from 0-60 in a respectable amount of time let alone an actual passenger car.

For the image-conscious, the CL65 AMG excels, showing up in the company's "Alubeam" liquid metal paint job (usually reserved for auto show concept cars) and the kind of 20-inch wheels wrapped in wiiiiide-ass tires most of us expect to have to buy aftermarket. If the faux suede headliner and two-tone diamond patterned napa leather aren't enough to impress, several badges, including the AMG logo and "one out of 40" medallions (designating that the car is one of a limited run of just 40 vehicles) adorn surfaces throughout the vehicle. Because Mercedes expects the car to appeal to the gizmo-hungry among us, the Command Center sports numerous toys, including the traditional GPS navigation and even a race timer that allows the driver to time him/herself on a race track.
