Saturn Sky Customisation by Vilner
The skilled Bulgarians from Vilner have built a custom Saturn Sky, so if that does not make a car from a brand that is not even available on the market anymore, even more exclusive then we don’t know what is / not to mention that fact that this brand was never offered in Europe anyway.
The Saturn Sky customisation program from Vilner involves a blue pearlescent vinyl wrap for the exterior, various gold accents, black mirror casings, the grille and rear diffuser finished in matt black, new alloys and LED lights incorporated around the fog lights.

2012 Audi S5 Review Video
The Brits from EVO have stepped behind the steering wheel of the facelift version 2012 Audi S5. As you may know, instead of resuming the list of improvements to redesigned headlights, new shiny trim for the interior and a new steering wheel, the German automaker has also made changes under the bonnet where it placed a new 3.0-litre supercharged V6.
This engine comes from the Audi S4 and it replaces the old, 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8, with this unit producing around 20 horses less and slightly more torque. Total output is 268 bhp sent to the quattro all-wheel-drive system via a 7-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox and the car can also be equipped with the sport differential option for increased cornering abilities.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible
GM is preparing to introduce its most powerful convertible ever at this year’s Lost Angeles Motor Show. We’re talking about the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible, a car that packs more power than a 2012 Aston Martin Volante, an SL63 AMG, a 2011 911 Turbo S or a 2011 Shelby GT500, which will go on sale in late 2012.
Power in the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible comes from a 6.2-litre LSA engine rated at 580 HP (432 kW) and 556 lb-ft (754 Nm) of torque, and its performance figures should come close to what the coupe version is capable of.

Porsche Panamera Turbo S by TopCar
If you happen to be rich and eccentricity is something part of your everyday life, then you need to be driving the TopCar ‘enhanced’ Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
