Eye candy for the road

 
Stylish, sexy, oozing performance and fast. Here are the hottest new cars taking to the road.

 

Lamborghini Murciégo LP640 Roadster

The Lamborghini Murciégo LP640 Roadster is a new version of the original, sporting new front and rear bumpers and a remodelled rear diffuser in which the exhaust system is integrated within a tailpipe.

It inherited its characteristic asymmetrical interior arrangement from its predecessor. Perforated leather is used for the seat cushions, the dashboard tunnel console and the door lining on the driver's side. The instrument panel has also been redesigned with different display graphics. This includes a new Kenwood car radio with a 6,5 inch wide-screen monitor and reader for DVD, MP3 and WMA.

The navigation system is also an available option.The maximum speed now lies at 330 km/h and the standard sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is now reached by the Murciégo LP640 Roadster in an excellent 3,4 seconds. With two front-seat airbags – a 60-litre airbag on the driver's side and a 130-litre airbag on the passenger side – it meets all existing world-wide standards in the event of head-on and side crashes, impact against poles, occupant safety in the case of accident, fuel supply integrity and fuel combustibility.

Chrysler Sebring Convertible

From the front, the Sebring Convertible shares many design cues with its sedan sibling, including the distinctive face of Chrysler, the brand's signature eggcrate grille and a uniquely sculptured hood that features the brand's elegant lines.

Large quad headlamps wrap around to the side of the vehicle, where the all-new Sebring Convertible's profile takes on a shape all of its own. The profile is defined by a long hood, a long roofline and a high chrome beltline, all of which give the vehicle a well-proportioned, elegant profile when the top is up.

As many as four occupants at a time can experience the new Sebring Convertible's comfortable, roomy interior. Occupants sit 64mm higher than they did in the previous model, which gives them a command-of-the-road position. Rear seat passengers also have plenty of leg and head room.A 2,7 litre V6 engine – coupled with a new automatic transmission with Auto Stick – powers the Sebring Convertible. The engine achieves 11,76 litres/100km in the city and 8,40 litres/100km on the highway.

The Sebring Convertible also offers a unique combination of class-leading safety features designed to keep occupants both safe and secure, top up or down. A new integrated seat-belt system connects all seat belts to the seats, making them more comfortable for the driver and passengers, as well as making it much easier for passengers to get in and out of the rear seats.
