2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES
At first glance, the naming of the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport seems to make sense. This compact SUV looks the part of an automotive athlete with its aggressive, Lancer Evolution-inspired front-end styling and semi-crouching stance. But sadly, theres really not enough under the buff body to justify the "Sport" portion of this models moniker.
On paper the Outlander Sport looks promising, as it is loosely based on the Mitsubishi Outlander, a crossover SUV weve praised in the past for its agile handling. Baby brother Sport is 14 inches shorter, 2 inches lower and as much as 700 pounds lighter, all favorable factors that should add up to increased agility and performance. But in the real world weve discovered that these would-be advantages yield nothing particularly beneficial.
The Sports lighter weight would be an advantage if it could be had with the bigger Outlanders more powerful engine choices, but the Sport only comes with the 148-horsepower inline-4 borrowed from the Lancer sedan. And when its coupled to the CVT, the end result is lackluster acceleration. The Sports handling will likely be fine for most folks, but those looking for performance that matches the Sports name and looks will wish for less body roll and more grip during spirited cornering.
If you forget about the "Sport" part, this Mitsubishi is pretty agreeable. It provides a smooth, quiet freeway ride and comes with a fair number of features for relatively short money. But pitted against other compact crossovers, the Outlander Sport doesnt really make the cut. Other similarly sized runabouts, such as the Kia Sportage, Mini Cooper Countryman and Nissan Juke are more enjoyable to drive thanks to superior performance and handling. And if youll be frequently hauling luggage or cargo, more mainstream models like the Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V and even the regular Outlander are going to be more practical and useful overall.

New Range Rover Sport leaked
New car will be 300kg lighter than its predecessor and will be revealed on March 26.
Pictures of the new Range Rover Sport have surfaced online ahead of its reveal at the New York motor show. The car will be officially unveiled on 26 March when it is driven through Manhattan the day before the show opens.
The company had previously released a official teaser shot of the new car and says that the location of the Sport’s debut is entirely appropriate, because New York city is the model’s single biggest metropolitan market and the Sport is also currently Land Rover’s best-selling model in North America.
The unofficial images appear to show the Sport will share its basic design DNA with the Range Rover, but evolves the wing-mounted vents seen on the current car. The car also borrows heavily from the Range Rover Evoque.
John Edwards, who is Land Rover’s global brand director, said: “The all-new Range Rover Sport takes the model to another level. It is Land Rover’s most dynamic vehicle yet and showcases the best of British design, engineering and technological innovation.”
The new Sport is based on the same all-aluminium, bonded and riveted PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform as the Mk4 Range Rover. It will be built alongside the flagship model at the company’s new PLA production line in Solihull, West Midlands.
It is expected to be a good 300kg lighter than the outgoing Sport, which is based on the same heavy-duty T5 platform as the Land Rover Discovery 4. This should mean that the base V6 diesel Sport will weigh in at about 2160kg.
Those who have seen the finished product say that the new car is “more obviously sporting” than the current Sport. It will be visually differentiated from the Range Rover by a more sharply raked roofline, shorter rear overhang, deeper body sides and more aggressive treatment for the nose and tail.
The Sport will also come with the option of seven seats, to help it compete more directly with the Mercedes-Benz M-class and the upcoming, all-new BMW X5. To add to its competitiveness in this segment, sources say that the Sport will get the option of a new 2.0-litre diesel engine.
Land Rovers new Sport will also be offered with a hybrid drivetrain.

Bugatti 16 4 Veyron Grand Sport
On the details of the vehicles assembled in part can be seen that was never saved. Even small farmers who disappeared behind the door panels are made of thin carbon fiber composite. As the gland are titanium screws that may be used only once. Then, each car is lowered by two engineers, 500 kilometers around Molsheim, and the engine is running prior to installation into the car as early as 24 hours. When salt is sprinkled on the roads, the sports car for trips to southern France to be spent.
Incredible effort
The Volkswagen Group has operated for the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, an unbelievable effort. The specification of CEO Ferdinand Piech was clear - to build the fastest production car in the world, in unparalleled perfection. This claim is reflected in every point and every stage of development and manufacturing process.
Exit with a 16.4 Grand Sport
Fulfilled in the engineering feat at the helm then, as we have seen on a ride with a 16.4 Grand Sport in the Alsatian homeland. The ideal seating position is easily found - not a given in a supercar. Steering wheel and seat adjustment are also designed for tall drivers. The most necessary is reduced to the switch in the center console feel cool and light up to show that this alloy and not plastic was used. The switches of the center console are arranged horizontally and each have a dual function. They are accurate over a short distance to tilt upward and downward. The two control wheels rotate pleasant - with noticeable grids.
Curiosity wins over the respect
After the brief orientation period, the curiosity wins out over the awe. The ignition is switched on with a conventional key - then the actual boot process is done with a separate "start" button. If the eight-liter engine comes to life, the spectacular is done without noise. Rather, one is reminded of a taking off remembers turbine, and the machine falls immediately into a sonorous babbling. At the same time put a total of around 100 liters of fluids circulating in the movement, including 18 liters of motor oil and 18 liters of gear oil. In the area of the sill, almost arm-width pipes are laid, the Veyron has a total of the impressive number of 12 coolers.
The Bugatti Veyron intimidating despite its immense power and a super sports car unusually expansive dimensions, not one. After the first few meters of the car feels familiar, its size can be estimated well. One is - apart from the seating position - almost like a luxury sedan. The same goes for the sound: The sixteen-cylinder and four turbine Turblader produce a perfect sound, even on long trips will never be too loud. And so can every time the sensational "Puccini" sound system with Dynaudio speakers enjoy.
The driving stages of the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox are either elected by the middle lever, which operates at very short distances - or you use the same shift paddles on the steering wheel is directly mounted. There they are, unfortunately, relatively far inside and feel a bit too soft. In addition, position and shape of the components for connoisseurs of the VW group is not entirely unknown.
