Ford is displaying its revised Mustang at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. It’s ‘leaner and meaner’, says Ford, with re-tuned suspension, a horsepower promote and some small titling fine-tunes.

Power from the 4.6-litre V8 has been increased to 315bhp, and the fumes altered for ‘an even throatier’ sound. The V6 stays same.

Constancy control is now normal as well as traction control, the springs, anti-roll bars and shock absorbers have all been retooled, and all models now have bigger wheels and tyres, from 17-19″ reckoning on version.
Detail alterations are a new grille with incorporated headlamps and blinkers, inspired by those of the 1970 Mustang, and on the GT, minor fog lamps mounted in the upper grille – a nod to the ’67-’68 models.

In New York Saleen introduced the Saleen the S5S Raptor. A brand new super sports car that is still a concept car.
But within two years from now, this car will be ready to get produced!
Underneath his hood, there will be a big V8 engine, with 650HP. This S5s Raptor will be the worlds fasted sports car in the world!

Last twenty five years, Saleen made his name by tuning Ford Mustangs. In the year 2000 they have made their first sports car, called the Saleen S7. Because all of that, they weren’t only a tuningcompany anymore, but also a manufacture of sports cars.
To stay ahead of all the others, they produced the twin-turbo version of the Saleen S7. It had 750HP and went from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds!

By building this new Raptor with 650HP, they are trying to build an outstanding sports car what will be affordable. The Raptor is build mostly from Carbon, and because of that, it’s very light weighted. It would be possible to go from 0-60MPH in less then 4 seconds! with a top speed going over 200MPH.The official release of the S5S in New York couple of day’s ago, is only a concept car. But the price will be less then $200.000 dollars. That would be cheap for what you get! But we will see.
