Ford’s Sync to Go Global
The voice activated information service of Ford Motor Co., Sync is scheduled to go global starting 2010 in Europe.
The Sync, powered by Microsoft technology, will be available in 7 European languages. The automaker also plans to release it in the Asia Pacific Region and in Australia.
To boot the 2010 expansion, Sync is getting some upgrade with the capabilities of getting real time traffic updates. The company promises the continuous effort to develop the technology of interconnectivity for the consumers. The Sync system allows the driver of a car to connect to their cell phones and to the internet.
The Sync broke ground with Ford in 2007 when it was introduced as a tool to access phones and music player hands free. Sales reports have shown that vehicles with Sync roll of the show room faster than those without the system. Ford is aiming for a million of units sold by the third quarter of 2009.
$400,000 Brabus G V12 S Biturbo
Looking for the kind of SUV that will really set you apart from the rest of the pack? Not too worried about aerodynamics? Have about half a million dollars to spend? Consider this absolutely majestic Brabus G V12 S Biturbo! Found it at Luxury Cars.biz, and got slightly aroused.
“The upgraded and powerful engine, added to a five-speed automatic transmission, has an impressive 690 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque. The Brabus G V12 S Biturbo accelerates at 62 mph in only 4.3 seconds.”
That’s 700 horses pulling you to 100km/h in close to 4 seconds. That’s Porsche Turbo-territory, for a box-shaped SUV. I’m freaking impressed!
Porsche Cayenne GTS Design Edition 3
“Porsche adds a little bit of spice to its line of SUVs as it releases the Design Edition 3 of the Cayenne GTS. The makeover of the Cayenne GTS follows the redesigning of its siblings Porsche Cayman S and the Boxster S Design.”
The Porsche Cayenne GTS Design Edition 3 really is a great piece of work, and it has to be one of the most awesome SUVs ever built.
Little extra’s:
“The engine bay remains untouched with the reliable V8 4.8L engine in place that is capable of delivering 405 horsepower. This engine is coupled with a six speed automatic gear system and an advanced exhaust system.
Discerning Porsche Cayenne GTS owners will get an exclusive Porsche Design wrist watch and a luggage set.”
