If you are like me, you are probably sick of hearing about vehicle recalls this year. To add to the anguish, Nissan has just said that they will be repairing about 2.14 million vehicles due to a faulty ignition relay that could cause the engine to stall or fail to restart. The fix should be somewhat of an easy task only taking 25 minutes to complete per vehicle by swapping out the faulty relay for a new one.

We are taking it back a bit, about a decade, to the year 2000 when BMW decided to introduce an even better and faster sports sedan known as the (E39 body style) M5. Over the years the M5 has evolved from its historic roots recently sporting a naturally aspirated V8 producing 400hp and the outgoing, but infamous, high-revving V10 that produced 500hp. Now upon the horizon we see evidence of a twin turbo V8 with about 600hp (rumored 2012 BMW M5). The video below is just one moment in time where we all became bug-eyed from BMW’s 400hp V8 powerplant in one of the most sought-after sports sedans on the planet during the early 2000’s. The video below is an epic car commercial, one of the best around, of the E39 BMW M5. Enjoy!

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 is one of those cars that does it all. First off it resembles the styling up front of the McLaren/Mercedes Formula 1 race car. It is powered by a 228hp 3.0 liter V6 engine mated to a seven-speed automatic with sequential shifting. A unique fully independent suspension keeps the SLK300 glued to the pavement while riding on big 18X7.5in. front and 18X8.5in. rear, AMG designed multi-spoke, two tone alloy wheels wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero performance tires. Secondly, it is a dual personality type of vehicle with a hardtop that folds into the rear in just 22-second enabling you to pilot the car with the top up during inclement weather and put the top down when the weather is warm to enjoy the sun in your face and the wind in your hair. Thirdly, the unique interior is sporty, luxurious and very safe.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, as Autocar’s Steve Sutcliffe describes it, “is the car design for the owner of a Veyron who wanted more performance”. If it is ‘more’ performance that they wanted, then this is exactly what they will get… about 15% to 20% more of it.
