BMW 1-Series
Being the only rear-wheel drive compact saloon, the BMW 1-Series enjoys a special status. At the same time, the 1-Series also boasts what is a unique design in this class, which still, however, leaves ample scope for adding a sporty touch or two. To this end, Mattig's “World of Tuning” offers a range of body-styling elements and modifications to the suspension in addition to numerous wheel/tyre combinations.
Mattig modifies the front end by fitting a new GRP front spoiler for 249 euros and, by doing this, also reduces the lift. Mattig adorns the sides with side sills for 229 euros a pair, which make the car look closer to the ground.

BMW X5 Overview
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d SUV Shown The BMW X5 was this German automaker's first entry into the luxury SUV segment. Realizing that most SUV buyers rarely, if ever, venture off-road, BMW designed the X5 for on-road performance and handling. Short overhangs, a compact size (the original was 4.5 inches shorter than the 5 Series sedan of the same time period) and a car-based chassis combined to give the X5 its low stance and superb on-road performance. The X5, produced at BMW's first American plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, quickly became a huge hit for BMW in the U.S. The first-generation BMW X5 only sat five people, however, and this is something that the company addressed with the current model. Redesigned for the 2007 model year,...

The company gets its name from Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, who went toe-to-toe with Thomas Edison (and won) to prove whether AC or DC was the preferred method of transporting electricity over great distances. In the same light, Tesla Motors is trying to prove that electricity is not only capable of transporting automobiles great distances but also that electric cars can be fun to drive.

In the history of any company, there comes a time when a product changes all the rules—one that lifts the marque to a new level and issues a challenge that others must answer. For American Suzuki Motor Company, that time has arrived with the introduction of the 2010 Kizashi. A luxurious machine designed for the smart Enthusiast Driver, it combines the refined handling of a European sports sedan with the quality, craftsmanship and advanced engineering of a modern Japanese automobile. This should be expected, however, because Suzuki engineers and designers produced the Kizashi like they do every vehicle, in the tradition of the company's founder: Michio Suzuki.
Born in 1887, Michio Suzuki grew up in Hamamatsu, a...

Passion for Heritage
At the dawn of motoring, a Dutch car company was building cars that became a benchmark for their foreign counterparts. Combining technological innovation with a drive for engineering perfection and superb quality, Spyker cars won grueling races, speed records and became known as the most prestigious cars of their time. In 1898 two brothers, Jacobus and Hendrik-Jan Spijker, coachbuilders in Amsterdam, built their first Benz-engined motorcars that won immediate acclaim for the craftsmanship of their bodywork.
In the same year Spijker built the famous golden state coach, still in use today, to commemorate the forthcoming coronation of the Dutch queen, Wilhelmina. This was the turning point in...
