		Suzuki seeks respect with turbocharged SX4t concept
By MARK VAUGHN. Turbocharging the Suzuki SX4 results in a tire-squealing 221 hp.
At 143 hp, the all-wheel-drive Suzuki SX4 crossover already had the most horsepower in its class. So the logical thing to do, of course, was to add more power.

		This latest version of BMW's "entry" model eschews some of the $9,000 worth of options that punched the price of our previously tested 135i to $45,000. This car proves that you could certainly live without the six-speed automatic transmission (a $1,275 option) and the M Sport steering wheel with paddle shifter ($1,100). The six-speed stick is the ticket for this car, allowing the driver to take full advantage of the engine's powerband, regardless of whether you're blasting off from a dead stop,

Mercedes isn't bashful about its no-replacement-for-displacement attitude, and the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E550 is no different, with 382 horses pouring from the E550's 5461 cc engine. Suffice it to say, the Mercedes doesn't lack punch, posting a 4.8 second 0-to-60 sprint and a 13.4 second quarter mile at 105.3 mph.

Sadly the SST dual clutch transmission offered in the basic FQ-300 Evo isn't up to handling the torque of the upgraded motor - although a beefed-up version of the semi-auto gearbox may well follow.

Lotus has long been known as a pure enthusiast's car, but with its new 2008 Lotus Exige S 240, the company is showing it hasn't forgotten about taking these vehicles to the streets of your own neighborhood.

The Exige S 240 gets a power bump from 220 horses to 240, hence the name, and a torque increase from 165 pound-feet to 170. Along with this added oomph, Lotus upgraded the clutch plate cover to handle the extra twist, which is expected to be good for 0-to-60 in 4.0 seconds a

Instead they were hoping Tata chairman Ratan Tata would announce that his company had finalised the deal to buy Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford.

		The Anti-Godzilla: A sportster that's everything Nissan's mighty GTR is not
By Frank Markus
This year's high-performance headlines are all about Nissan's gigantus GTR, a two-ton nuke lobbed at Newton's laws of physics.

The A4 Avant shares its underpinnings and key dimensions with the saloon, which means a much-longer wheelbase than the outgoing A4 and a footprint that’s grown to be close to the old A6.
