The Chevy Colorado

The Chevy Colorado. This is the smaller size of truck that is made by Chevy. They have been being made for a while and they are arguably one of the best trucks on the road right now. The Chevy Colorado is rated as one of the best off road vehicles there is. In fact, it is rated number one on many websites! This is a crazy achievement that shows just how good this truck really is. It even beat out Jeeps and G-Wagons. Also, the cost of this off road truck is not too high. The base model of this truck starts at a rate of $20,000 though it does have a lot of options. A good 2018 Chevy Colorado will probably take you back about $24,000. However, that is definitely worth it.
The Colorado comes with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder that creates a 181 hp. That is not bad for base model and with that, you can do some pretty heavy work. You can spec it all the way up to 308 hp but that will cost you. The truck will do 0-60 in an extremely quick 7.1 seconds! Also, it has a top speed of 100 mph.
This truck looks great and rides well. In fact, after riding in one of these myself, I was very impressed! I think that this is one of the best trucks that there is and it will continue to get more popular in the years to come. This truck has everything! It has good looks, power, and off road capability. The Chevy Colorado is the ideal truck for anyone who is looking to get work done and have some fun on the side. This is really what makes the Colorado such a big and important vehicle.

Honda S2000

The Honda S2000 was a small sports car made by Honda as a competitor to the Mazda Miata. The Honda S2000 began production in the year 1999. It was the Honda sports car and people loved it. This is why it had a pretty long production run. It was in production from 1999 to 2009. It was in production for 10 years and it just kept getting better. Some people may not like the S2000, however, I think that it looks simply spectacular. It is a small car, just like the miata or the 124, and it has a small engine. All this means that it doesn't weigh that much at all and therefore driving this little car is extremely fun.
The little sports car was rear wheel drive. It was powered by a 2.0 L in-line four-cylinder engine that made 237 hp. Since the car was very small and light and also had a 50:50 weight ratio, it drove really well. It does 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. It was quick on the straights and controlled in the twisties. The engines on these cars, since they were Honda's, lasted quite a long time and that is why today you can get a S2000 from, say, 2004 that works perfectly. This is one reasons that these cars hold their value.
Another reason why so many people love this car is because of its looks. It looks phenomenal. For a company that made pretty average looking cars, Honda really stepped it up here. It looks small and sporty and like it would be fun to drive. I come as a convertible or a hard top and they both looks fantastic. This car is also very popular because of the way that many people mod it, or add after market parts. I think that, even though this car is not being made anymore, many of these will live on! Literally, because they are Honda so they don't die!

2018 Land Rover Defender V8

This year is the 70th anniversary of the original Land Rover defender and to honor that, Land rover has decided to release a special limited-run anniversary car. They are going to release a new defender. It will be completely updated and it will have a v8 engine. Unfortunately, they are only making 150 of these beauties for the entire world. I think that their value is going to skyrocket and getting your hands on one of these new Defenders is going to be very difficult. They are coming out this year and I'm not quite sure how the order system will work as far as who can buy them. It may just be first come, first served.
Anyway, let's talk about specs. As I've said, this is going to have a V8. It will be a 5.0 L naturally-aspirated V8 that makes about 400 bhp! That's a lot, especially for a Land Rover Defender. The thing also has a pretty quick 0-60 time. In fact, it will do 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds! That's insane! It is limited at 105 mph but with that crazy big engine, it definitely will go faster. These numbers make this the most powerful, stock, defender to ever be made and to ever hit the roads. It will also have the same crazy off-roading capabilities that the original defenders had, except, this one has more power. A lot more. It has upgraded brakes and also has upgraded automatic sports gear box. The tires are, of course, massive and perfect for off-roading adventures.
Just the specs make it sound awesome but wait till you see it! It has a stunning look and it is a truly beautiful vehicle. The have not released too much about the new Defender except for a video that shows the new one driving past old versions of the off-roader from the past 70 years. It is a good video and gives some stunning views of the vehicle that make it look really good. I think that this vehicle will become a very important part of Land Rover history and will also become a classic in the years to come. If one thing is for sure though, this Defender is awesome!

BMW M4 GTS

Only 700 made... For the entire world! That is the number of BMW M4 GTS' made. Only 300 were shipped to the US.This was a more race tuned version of their sports coupe, the M4. People had thought that, over the years, the M cars had gone downhill. They went from track cars that were able to be driven on a normal road to road cars that could be driven on a track. Many people didn't, and still don't, like this. M cars are supposed to be exciting and extreme and instead they are becoming more and more boring and dull. The M4 GTS, however, aimed to change that.
The GTS was released in 2016 and was a limited production run from M. It seemed like a shot at getting that M spirit back. It really seemed like a chance for the M line. The once truly revered BMW sports line. The M4 was supposed to bring all that back.. and it did. It had an 3.0 L inline 6-cylinder that created 493 hp. It created 442 lb ft of torque! this made the GTS extremely fast. It could reach 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds! That's really quick for a rear wheel drive car! The GTS has an est. high speed of 189.5 mph. So spec wise this car does really good. It has a lot of power and it is also very light. BMW took lots of steps to take weight off this car, and it worked. The performance, with stability control off, is excellent! It truly feels like an M car. It is extreme and exciting.
But it's not just the performance and specs that are extreme and exciting for this car! The car also looks spectacular! It looks extreme! The front end it lowered and has a carbon fiber splitter. The back of the car is fitted with a large rear wing for down force. Both are carbon fiber and look amazing! The tail lights are also made of special kind of LED and look really cool. The hood is redone and looks more extreme and the front end looks meaner and more aggressive. All this adds up to a pretty good looking BMW. I would say that this car is going to become a classic and it also shows us that there is still a little bit of the original M left at BMW.

The Grand Tour

I recently started watching The Grand Tour and... It is amazing! It was the show that spawned from Jeremy Clarkson being fired from Top Gear. He brought along his two mates Richard Hammond and James May and together they were offered a show by Amazon. This show was to be called the Grand Tour. It is basically a show where the three mates go around the world on "adventures" and drive/talk about cars. The show is on the second season and it is amazing. In the first season they had a tent for the show that they moved around the world to where they were filming for the time. In the second season the tent stays in England while they traveled.
It is very similar to Top Gear but in my opinion it is better. With a bigger budget from Amazon they are able to become an even bigger production and do more. They have had many very interesting and funny episodes and as of now I think that it is one of the best shows on the internet. They have been able to get and review many cars and also talk about many different things on the show. The second season was even better than the first, too. I suggest that everyone watch this show because it actually is a very entertaining show and as long as you like cars it will be entertaining for you to watch.

Top 5 Sports Cars

This is a list of the top 5 sports cars as of 2018. In this list I am taking in to consideration many different factors. I am taking into consideration the looks of the car, the performance, and the price of the car in this list. So these are the Top 5 Sports cars of today...

5. 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata
The 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a new version of the sports car that many people have loved for years. The base model costs about $25,000. Considering that most sports cars cost well into the $100,000 range, that is pretty cheap, and you get a lot for it. The 2018 Miata comes with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine that creates 155hp. The car is pretty light so this means that it is pretty quick and performs well. Like many other small sports cars, it is rear wheel drive. This little Mazda has been around for many generations and this is just another newer version. You can get the Miata as a hardtop or a convertible. This little car makes number 5 for a combination of its looks, damn it looks good in red, and it value for the price.

4. 2018 Alfa Romeo 4c
This small Italian sports car is the Alfa Romeo 4c. It is a full blown sports car with rear wheel drive and it weighs only 2,465 lbs. Alfa Romeo has been a name in the car industry for many years making amazing and beautiful cars and this is their new, not actually new it been out for like 6 years, small sports car. It makes 237hp and 258lb-ft of torque. That is produced by the turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. It has an automatic transmission and it does 0-60 in a quick 4.2 seconds. The total cost for this beautiful little car is $55,900 for the base model. It made number 4 because it looks just spectacular and the performance at this price is spectacular.

3. 2011 BMW 1M Series
The 2011 BMW 1M is possibly the best M car that has been made. It is considered the ultimate driver's car. It has a 3.0 L straight 6 engine that creates 335hp. It doesn't weigh much and it is very simple. The driving experience though it amazing. It is an extremely fun car to drive and though it may not have many extra things, the driving experience makes up for that. It was only produced during 2011 and they did not make that many models. It sold quite quickly and can only be bought from resale now. The car is currently selling for about $60,000. This car will definitely become a classic in the coming years and that is why this car takes the number 3 spot on this list. Also, it looks simply amazing in orange.

2. 2018 Jaguar F-Type
This is the 2018 Jaguar F-type and it is stunning. The lines are flowing and aggressive and it makes it look like it ready for and road or track. This car it one of those cars that looks and sounds really good. It is powered by a 5.0 L V8 Engine that makes 575 horsepower. You can get model with less that also costs less but the 575 horsepower model will do 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. It is not that important but the top speed of this car is a very impressive 200 mph. This is a crazy amount! I think that it looks spectacular in red but grey looks good, too. The total cost of this car is $121,000 for the model model with the 575hp V8 but the starting model costs $59,000. This is a spectacular car in many ways and I think that it is one of the best cars that jaguar has made. All this puts it a the number 2 spot on this list.

1. 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster
The old Porsche Boxster was Okay, it didn't look too good and was not a great car performance wise. However, the new 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster is totally redone. Not only does it look like a real Porsche  but it drives like one, too. The car looks beautiful now and the side scoop looks spectacular. The car also looks more aggressive and it is under the hood. It has a turbocharged 2.0 L 4-cylinder that makes 365hp. This means that this little Boxster can do 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds. It is also a Porsche so it will be good quality and, you will be able to daily drive it. It is a convertible but with the top down it looks so beautiful. This is one of the best looking sports cars that there is and it very fun to drive and look at. It will cost you at least $57,000 though there are options that you can add. For all those reasons this new Porsche takes the number one spot on this list.

Mansory...

I just wanted to say how awesome Mansory is! Some of you may have no idea what I am talking about! however, I shall now explain. A few days ago I was on Instagram and I was scrolling through to see if I could find any cars that I liked. I came across a Mercedes that I thought looked really nice. However, I noticed that the Merce
des logo was now an M. I thought that was odd, so I looked it up. It turns out that there is a company that is a lot like Brabus called Mansory. I started to look through there website and damn! some of those cars look amazing!
So basically, Mansory is a car company that takes cars from other companies, companies like Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, and more, and they take those cars and make them better. For some, they simply upgrade a few things, and for others they completely redo everything. They have cars for many different companies including Tesla and Ferrari. For instance, with Lamborghini, they make a 'base' model huracan that is upgraded a decent amount to what the order specifies and also repainted the way the buyers wants. However, they also have a model of the huracan that is completely redone and it is called the Mansory Torofeo, and it is beautiful! I think that is it one of their best looking cars, however, they have many more. They have a Porsche that is particularly entertaining because it is called the chopster and well... Just look at it!
Many cars in the Mansory line up are amazing and visually stunning. I think that I have put it on my goals for life to have a Mansory at some point. If you already are familiar with this company, then what is your favorite Manosry? Let me know in the comments!

The New VantageV8

A new car has been released recently by Aston Martin. This car was a revamped version of an older car that they made. This is the Aston Martin Vantage V8. It looks newer, nicer, and slicker. It sounds better. It's faster. Overall, it's better!
I am a fan of the old Aston Martin Vantage, as I would assume many of you were, too! But this new Vantage just completely blows everything else away! It looks so sleek and stunning! It looks so good that they could simply drive this car down Rodeo drive and in an hour they'd have all the orders they need. It looks like a sleek rocket ship from the future! Whoever designed this car should be given many awards. I think that it looks best in green but that is just my opinion. The grey version also looks spectacular! It just looks so amazingly good. It looks like a modern rocket ship but at the same time it looks like if I'm not careful its gonna attack me! It looks really aggressive, and I think that I like the green because it makes it look even more aggressive. What are your thoughts and opinions on how this car looks?
It also has some muscle to go with the good looks. It is powered by a 4.0 L twin-turbocharged V8. This engine creates about 500 hp, and that is a staggering amount for a car this size. That means that it does 0-62 mph in just 3.5 seconds! And, with that turbocharged V8, this Aston Martin will go to a top speed of 195 mph! That's just crazy! This all also will affect performing, which seems to be excellent on this car. It has 50:50 weight distribution and can corner amazingly.
This is one of those cars that you see and you just go 'wow', as you can see, it is visually stunning. And not just the looks but everything about this car is amazing. The way it looks, the way it sounds, the speed, and the way it drive and go into the driver experience. And, with all those factors leading into it, I would think that the driving experience in the new 2018 Aston Martin Vantage V8 would be spectacular!
