Startech Jaguar XK is what you dream of to have a ride for long hours. It has all the ingredients – style and sophistication, luster and luxury, elegance and exclusivity that you look for in your dream car. Available for coupes and convertibles, the latest Jaguar XK model made its global debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show IAA this year.

An outstanding outcome of auto-engineering technology, Startech Jaguar XK comes with sporty exterior, plush interior and custom-tailored 21-in forged wheels. The Startech styling team has successfully dealt with the challenge of merging sporty emphasis and elegant shine in the being of this two-door model. Made from carbon fiber, the aerodynamic-enhancement components go to the making of Jaguar XK. The configuring components are ultra-light as they are built in the Prepreg production process of aerospace engineering.

Startech has upgraded the face of Jaguar XK by integrating daytime running lights into the stylized air vents on either side of the car through the use of precise-fit design elements. The exclusive look of the XK model is further enriched by the custom-tailored forged wheels. What make its polished surface miles apart from that of other models are the three-piece Monostar J Diamond Edition wheels.

The wheel sizes are deliberately selected for the Jaguar XK in keeping with its sporty look. The 9Jx21 wheels fill the front wheel houses to the max. The 10.5Jx21 wheels with rear tires in the size of 295/25 ZR 21 fill the back wheel houses to provide maximum traction. Exclusivity of the interior is a specialty of Startech. The interior of the Jaguar XK offers the comfort of a cozy corner. It is refurbished with upholstery made of the finest, soft brandy-colored leather.

So, enjoy the homely ambience inside the Startech Jaguar XK while on a long drive to some dream destination braving the highs and lows of the way.

A Look into the Hardcore Mechanism and Dynamic Personality of Dodge Challenger 1320

Dodge is about to unveil its latest crossover and scorch the SEMA show next month. Modeled on the Dodge Charger and named the Challenger 1320, this retro coupe from the automotive line of Dodge is a street-running version of the racer, Mopar Drag Pak Challenger. Though not much dynamic as the Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang, the Challenger is masculine enough to make other vehicles on the road feel the awe of its presence.



The high-tech mechanism of Dodge Challenger 1320’s configuration is at the heart of its smooth and speed run on the road. Mopar’s aluminum, 7.0-liter V-8 Hemi crate engine keeps it powered. Electric exhaust cutouts add to the run of the car for additional flow at the strip. A 556 hp and 540 pound-feet of force emanates from the engine of the Challenger 1320. A row of gears directs the power through a six-speed manual transmission to Mopar police wheels that are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.

Dodge Challenger 1320 offers a plush feel in its simple and sophisticated inside. A sport-steering wheel, a Hurst shifter and Viper seats add to the sophistication of the inside. The inner being of the car has shed off center console, rear seat and radio to lighten the weight a little bit. It makes the application of non-hardcore unnecessary.

Steeped in the tinges of yellow paint, Dodge Challenger 1320 can be called “Acidic Hue”. It features carbon fiber for the grille panel, front spoiler, scooped hood and headline surround. The immaculate outer surface reflects the sparkles of splendor to dazzle the eyes of onlookers. The Challenger 1320 speaks of its personality in the flawless function, cozy inside, flamboyant outlook and hard-core mechanism.

The MP4-12C – the Ruling-the-race Sportscar from McLaren Automotive

From a range of high-performance sports cars, the McLaren MP4-12C deserves to be tagged as a ruling-the-race car. With the specifications of a mid-engine sports car, this would-be-launched model from McLaren is petite in size and pretty in look. What is the most special about the 2-seat MP4-12C is that carryover parts from any other car are absent from its being. Priced in a range of $200,000–$285,000, it will surely mirror the personality of its possessor.

A one-piece Carbon MonoCell tub forms the heart of this future launch from McLaren. McLaren wants this model to shrug off expensive carbon body panels and to be light in wheels, high-exit exhaust system and forged-aluminum brake hubs due to high strengths and light weight of the MonoCell. The M838T, a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 that is manufactured and assembled by McLaren is the key to the functional being of the car. It features not only intake manifolds, composite cam covers and dual variable valve timing but also a flat-place crankshaft within its framework.



Proactive Chassis Control system, meant for class-leading performance and ride comfort is a standout feature of the car’s double-wishbone suspension. Traditional anti-roll bars are replaced with adjustable roll control to keep a check on the car’s pace through the hydraulic dampers. The three modes that are easily adjustable from the cockpit facilitate the transmission. To reduce understeer in a corner, there is Brake Steer, another feature that applies brake force to the inside rear wheel. It can also prevent the spinning of the inside rear tire on acceleration. Adding to the car’s stopping power is a rear airbrake.
The car’s body is made as narrow as possible to ensure more weight savings. The cockpit of the MP4-12C is as clean and clear, stylish and sophisticated. The forward-tilting, butterfly doors attribute a funky look to the being of the MP4-12C. The armrest of the doors comes with individual climate controls. The car’s styling is somewhat striking and somewhat subdued to avoid the “look-at-me” image that becomes rude and rough. The MP4-12C, a highly ambitious project of McLaren Automotive is set to hit the race road in the year of 2011.
