2010 New Lotus Sports Cars Exige S240
British performance sports car manufacturer Lotus has officially unveiled their 2010 Lotus Exige S240. While Lotus fans will recognize this as a very subtle update, the grille and rear wing facelift is a step forward for the mark. The exciting new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 enters the United States and Canadian markets in the fall of 2009 with new front styling, a new rear wing and the same rare combination of exceptional performance and high efficiency.
2010 New Lotus Sports Cars Exige S240
The Lotus Exige S240 features a roof integrated air intake scoop feeds air through the air-to-air intercooled and supercharged 1.8 liter Lotus-tuned and Toyota-sourced 2ZZ-GE engine with Intelligent Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) to provide 240hp at 8,000 rpm and 170 ft.-lbs. of torque at 5,500.
The 2010 Lotus Exige S240 sprints to 60 mph in a blistering 4.1 seconds and the 100 mph barrier sails by in approximately 10 seconds with top speed is 150 mph. The Lotus Exige S240 is equipped with a 6-speed transaxle synchromesh transmission, traction control and launch control. New for 2010, the optional Track Package will include adjustable Ohlins dampers with threaded spring perches and remote oil reservoirs front and rear.
The Lotus Exige is a renowned high performance coupe that has a well earned reputation as the choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance, both on the road and on the track. The 2010 Exige S240 introduces a few key enhancements to update the appearance and improve aerodynamic performance. A restyled front end and new larger, low drag rear wing, not only reduces drag, but also gives a more muscular stance enhancing the lightweight shrink-wrapped look of the whole car.
Passing along lessons learned on the track with the Exige GT3 racing program, Lotus Sport Cars has contributed another important technology – variable launch control combined with variable traction control. The launch control allows the driver to determine the number of revs they wish to use during a standing start. Having programmed that limit, the driver then holds their foot down fully on the throttle pedal and sidesteps the clutch pedal for a very quick departure from the line. The clutch damper cushions the severity of the clutch to transmission engagement to minimize the stresses to the drivetrain. The launch control also keeps wheel-spin at bay until 6 mph, after which the traction control assumes its duties.
Like all Lotus cars, the functional components of the car are also beautifully designed as Russell Carr, Chief of Lotus Design, explains, "For 2010 we have taken the already visually extreme Exige and given it even more visual drama. The changes we have integrated to the front and rear of the Exige signal an even clearer and purposeful intent. The functional rear wing is race-inspired, the new angular air intakes and full width splitter give a more hard-edged and aggressive look. Overall, the Exige appears more planted and gives the illusion that both the front and rear of the car are wider than they really are, yet without losing its agile and sleek character."
The new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 is scheduled to launch in the US and Canada in the Fall of 2009. This new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 goes on sale this fall with a starting price of $65,690 and will be available in an upgraded track package with added performance benefits. The 2010 Lotus Exige S240 will hit U.S. and Canadian markets this Autumn.

Used Maserati - A Great High Powered Sports Car
Fast car manufacturer, Maserati, are also having to address environmental issues in the development of their new cars. If you want that old traditional roar and fearsome engine, you are probably best advised to choose to buy a used Maserati, where nothing has been changed and that sporty attitude still remains. If you are happy to compromise, and are tempted by the idea of fuel savings, then the new Maseratis should suit you fine.
Used Maserati - A Great High Powered Sports CarOwning a huge-engined high powered sports car is a wonderful thing. The drive is incredible, making even the most boring roads into speedy wild-tempered dream highways - especially if the car is really good. The comfort too is generally unbeatable, with motor companies fighting each other to produce cars that really scream privilege from the rooftops.
Of course, owning a car that fast and elegantly luxurious has a major downside for the environment. They are gas-guzzlers, and as such their CO2 emissions are high and their fuel efficiency is low. At least, that is the case until now - but things are starting to change. All those massive car companies are having to produce more effective and economical cars that give the same comfort but whilst saving you money at the same time.

Leather seats, leather door inserts, custom floormats and various badging round out the package. The 2010 SF600R Challenger is now available, and costs $73,900.

Natalie Pennington - IFBB Bikini Pro
While doing research on these Asian fitness beauties, occasionally I run across someone that is so amazing, I can't believe I hadn’t found her before.Stunning half Korean, half French IFBB Bikini Pro Natalie Pennington is one of those women.
I think Natalie ranks right up there in the top five most beautiful women I have ever presented on this blog.
IFBB Bikini is a new female fitness competition, just started this year by the IFBB (The International Federation of BodyBuilders), and at first, some people just looked at it as a glorified bikini competition, designed to sell more tickets.
But having seen these ladies in action, I think opinions are changing, as these women work just as hard as other female fitness competitors to get the look the judges want.
Some women have even crossed over from IFBB Figure over to bikini.
Back to Natalie though, this young lady can do something none of the other competitors can do.
She can make you look forward to a trip to the dentist.
Yes, Natalie is a full time dentist.
Natalie has appeared as a fitness model in issue 12 of Status Fitness Magazine, and I think you will see a LOT more of this gorgeous woman in the coming months.
