BMWs M3, scheduled for launch next year, will feature V8 power for the first time, derived from the same powerplant propelling its road-rocket siblings, the M5 and M6. The 4.0-liter engine should deliver 415 hp via a seven-speed sequential manual gearbox or an optional six-speed manual.
In these photos our spy caught the M3 on a test drive near Munich, allowing us to reveal the car from every angle. Note the large air intakes at the front end, wider fenders and four exhaust pipes.
BMWs sunshine-loving buyers will have to wait an extra year for the convertible M3, along with a rumored four-door bring the family M3 sedan.

Though we'd hardly consider the Cadillac CTS V-Series ordinary, its clear this version is well beyond that performance CTS.
We last encountered the CTS Super V in testing at the Nürburgring (Spied: Super V!, May 31, 2004), but this onespotted recently by an alert spy shooterappears much closer to production-ready. Were told its the 2007 CTS Super V, and that it is powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06.
The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.
With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.
If thats not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 enginea supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But youll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

Ah et
Audi R8, qui devrait partager beaucoup avec la Gallardo, en moins chère.
La peinture matte
Citation :
sera motorisée au choix par un modeste217; V8 denviron 400 ch en entrée de gamme et par un V10 denviron 600 ch pour le haut de gamme. Dans cette dernière configuration, la R8 devrait affoler les compteurs avec sa transmission Quattro, largement de quoi aller titiller les 350 km/h.
