Oldsmobile was a brand of automobile produced for most of its existence by General Motors. It was founded by Ransom E. Olds in 1897. In its 107-year history, it produced 35.2 million cars, including at least 14 million built at its Lansing, Michigan factory. When it was phased out in 2004, Oldsmobile was the oldest surviving American automobile marque, and one of the oldest in the world, after Daimler and Peugeot. Oldsmobile was General Motors' first brand to be phased out in the 21st century, after the company's Geo and Canadian-market Asüna brands were phased out in the 1990s, and before the discontinuation of General Motors' Pontiac, Saturn, and Hummer brands in 2010.

Maybach cars pictures and review
A one-off custom-built Maybach was unveiled in May 2005 at the Tempodrom in Berlin. Commissioned by tyre company Fulda, the Exelero is a chopped-down two-seater coupe, though it's more than just a show car - in tests at the Nardo high-speed oval, the prototype reached a speed of 218.38mph, despite weighing over 2.66 tonnes. It is capable of acceleration from 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds.
The car's design was the result of a competition amongst students at the Pforzheim Polytechnic Department of Transport Design, which has worked on show vehicles for Fulda in the past. The design of 24-year-old Fredrik Burchhardt was chosen, and his work was co-ordinated with that of the Maybach design centre in Sindelfingen. The project, based on the Maybach 57 limousine, required a certain amount of re-engineering; the A-pillar and doors had to be shifted rearwards, and the steering column, pedals and gearshift all re-located. The standard 550bhp V12 engine was bored out to 5.9 litres, and tuned for 700bhp and over 738lb ft of torque. With final dimensions of 5890mm long, 2140mm wide and just 1390mm high, the car was kitted out with a full-spec interior, including leather, neoprene, aluminium and carbonfibre finishes.
Maybach says the car, built by Stola in Turin, is "a one-off vehicle created to showcase the new ultra-high performance Exelero tyre range from leading tyre manufacturer Fulda"; it's not the first time the two companies have teamed up, as back in 1938 Fulda demonstrated its tyres on a Maybach SW 38 limousine. There are, however, "no plans to produce the model in series", though it has been certified for on-road use.

Audi Le Mans Quattro Gallery
the production version made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in the guise of the new Audi R8 mid-engine sports model. Audi has incorporated the name and the genes of the five-time Le Mans winner, the Audi R8, into a spectacular sports car.The R8 combines Audi's experience gained from numerous motor sport triumphs with groundbreaking design and the acknowledged technological expertise of the brand.
The design of the strikingly three-dimensional main headlights, using LED technology, is particularly eye-catching. At 7,800 rpm the 4.2-litre engine delivers 309 kW (420 bhp) of power output. The performance figures are equally impressive: the R8 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 301 km/h. Priced at $ 80,000 - $ 110,000, the Audi R8 will be available to order from 28 September 2006; first deliveries will be made in the first half of 2007.

More appearance-oriented is that the Sportback didn’t get its name for being a four-door coupe, but rather a five-door coupe.Unlike some current Audi designs the Sportback seems purposefully simple, devoid of complex lines and curves so that an uncluttered elegance is all that’s noticeable, a return to the clean, clear and almost minimalist design language that adhered fans to the four-ringed brand for decades, from the second-generation 5000 to the previous generation A6,
