cadillac escalade
cadillac escalade
Cadillac follows a well known path in luxury SUV class, and presents re-adapted old model of Escalade. But we can't blame them for that, the car has marched its way up to the top of its class through years.
When we compare previous model to the new one the differences ranges from, easy to notice, door structure changes to, less obvious, front side impact airbags, and cylinder deactivation technology. When it comes to fuel consumption, this technology is well appreciated improvement, and it can reach about 20 mpg on a freeway. The reason for poor fuel efficiency lies beneath the hood. 6.2l V8 engine that was introduced last year is still burning fuel to get this four wheel mountain moving. Massive power output of 403 hp and 417 pound-feet of torque, combined with six-speed automatic transmission is responsible for a very good acceleration at any speed, and capability to reach 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds. But problems begin when it comes to stopping.The only thing that can stop this monster are its brakes, and they can hardly do their job. To come to a halt from 60 mph this car needs approximately 145 feet.

bugatti 57sc
bugatti 57sc
An icon of classic cars, and probably the most beautiful car ever produced. It was designed by Jean Bugatti. Jean was son of Ettore, the founder of Bugatti. Jean designed the body for this beautiful car, and modified 3257 cc from Type 49 heavily, to create a perfect harmony of power and elegance. Through its period of production (1934 – 1940) the car was built in many different versions, but there very only two basic variants: the original Bugatti 57, and lowered Bugatty 57S. Those were the platforms out of which the champions were built. Type 57C Tank swept away its competition in 1936 and 1937, winning the French Grand Prix, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. It used larger, 4743cc, engine that left others in dust. Later on, there was a Tank version of 57SC that took another Le Mans, but this story ended tragically. Jean took the car that won the race to a test drive and died when he crushed trying to avoid drunken bicyclist on a closed road.
