Regular readers by now should know that we’re big fans of TopGear, hence why we always look on some of their best shows. So how about checking out some of the world’s fastest two wheelers? James May is the lucky bastard to review the £825,000 Pagani Zonda F Roadster on Top Gears test track. The result is obvious – a bad-ass looking four wheeler that is offensively fast. But what if you have it running the track against the Bugatti Veyron in a drag race? Who’ll win? Check it out!

Nissan North America has added the Rogue edition to its Krom Speciality vehicles line-up as a 2010 model that will go on sale as early as December 2009. The 2010 Nissan Rogue Krom Edition has been added to give the compact sport utility vehicle a more aggressive sport styling using exclusive 17-inch wheels and a sport-tuned exhaust.
Available with an FWD transmission as well as AWD configurations. As far as the colour choices go, buyers will be able to choose between Venom Red, Wicked Black and Gotham Gray. When it comes to designing, the Rogue Krom is not short of sportiness courtesy of an unique grille embedded in the front fascia along with fog lights. The sporty themes runs on the back with a center-exit exhaust, a body coloured rear spoiler and a rear privacy glass. Completing the Krom theme is a Krom emblem and steering mounted audio controls on the inside. The pricing on the limited edition Rogue Krom has not been unveiled as yet.

When the power rendered by the customary BMW X5 crossover utility vehicle 3.0L engine is not enough, it is big tuning houses like the Germans from Hatrge who come to the rescue. Hatrge has introduced the xDrive35d Performance Package for the BMW X5 which increases the ponies from the standard 265 hp to an appreciable 328hp.
The magic was worked upon by recalibrating the ECU and furnishing a sport exhaust system for the CUV. As a consequence of these changes, the X5 pelts from 0 to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds (impressive for such a heavy car) which is 0.9 seconds better than the original, on its way to a max speed of 244km/h. To accommodate the more powerful engine, Hatrge have used the previously released body kit that includes redesigned front and rear fascias, wheel arch extensions and bolder two-piece side sills. The fully trimmed CUV costs €87,277.
Suzuki’s Alto known as the Maruti Suzuki Alto in India is the highest grossing small car in the sub-continent, and since the company wants to delve furthermore on the success of the Alto they took the wraps off of the new Alto Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Slightly modified on the rear compared to the standard version to accommodate more luggage capacity, Suzuki dubs it as the future of the mini vehicle. On the inside, the interior forms are again a far cry from the standard model with an attractive speedometer, a floor mounted shifter along with user friendly switches and storage spaces. As far as the engine goes, the new Suzuki Alto is powered by a 0.66L three cylinder variant which is mated to a continuous variable transmission (CVT).

There are not many shoebox-designed commuters that come with space for your surfing boards and dirt bikes, but the Daihatsu Deca Deca Concept showcased in Tokyo, begs to differ on this count. It is called the ‘workspace on wheels’ and rightly so for other than that amazing boot space it has rear seats that can be swiveled and folded, while the front passenger seat could be rotated doubling as a mini conference space. The engine capacity of this concept should hardly be a thing to discuss for Daihatsu never claimed that it is an outright scorcher. But for the record there’s a 1.3-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine mated to a FWD CVT Transmission. There is no word yet on the Deca Deca hitting the production facility.

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Carbon has broken cover in Tokyo but to everyone’s surprise the engine is mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox to spoil the fun of driving on the back of a monster. Based on the A-Line special edition, the STI Carbon chooses a carbon fiber roof instead of the normal panel which lowers the centre of gravity and simultaneously reduces the weight of the vehicle. As far as the interior goes, unlike the standard STI, the STI Carbon is lined in suede. Under the hood is a 2.5L four-banger that produces 296 hp. The manual gearbox version slated for the US will render 305hp. Subaru is calling it the display model but the A-Line derivation for the automatic gearbox will be a part of the production facility rolled models as well.

With a 2011 BMW X3 huge mystery and the latest set of spy shots not revealing much either, we’re still drooling in here to see what the new model will look like. The exterior has been heavily camouflaged keeping those sleek lines a secret for now, but, they do give away the fact that it would be a heavily redesigned engine. As far as the interior is concerned the spy images reveal some dials and a start/stop button. The round rear lights are a façade for the prototype only since the final product will surely have something different. As far as the engine speculations go, the X3 will come with a 3.0-litre single turbo unit which is capable of churning 306 horses. Smaller engines may not be available straight away but they will eventually endorse the X3. [via WCF]
