It also possesses the accountability of retaining the trustworthy customer base that likes Buicks just the way they’ve constantly been: soft, roomy and comfy. For 2008, the Lucerne gains features that broaden its application. Drawing encouragement from the innovative Buick Super line of the 1940s, the new-fangled Lucerne Super will straighten out in at the top of the variant line when it arrives in the spring of 2008. The Super has a more influential 292-horsepower V8, firmer suspension tuning, suede-trimmed seats, a timber steering wheel and an assortment of other cosmetic touches. New protection technology also spreads all the way through the Lucerne line. Constancy control is now accessible on V6 models, and all but base CX Lucerne’s can be structured with lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems.

The Buick Lucerne is far more pleasing to constrain with its Cadillac-sourced V8. Regrettably, for 2008 that motor (in two versions of power) has become confidential to the high-end CXS and Super variants. The former is charged nearly $37,000, vaulting the Lucerne into luxury-class province when it lacks general upscale features like xenon headlights, power-adjustable pedals and Bluetooth connectivity.

Pushing the accelerator to the max drives you crazy. At first, you would think that some unseen being was committing an act of physical violence on you. But in the end you would say, I was not kicked back in the seat so much as brewed against the rear bulkhead as if thrown backward by the shock-wave emitted from a bomb firing just a few yards in front of you. By the time it even happened to me to skip gears, the horsepower meter had galloped its pointer past 1,000 ranges. The Veyron just spangles up its gears up seamlessly all by its own and leaving you flabbergasted to do nothing or I would stay as a pause, strangled my back into my holders again, with the engine continuing to bellow its W16 roar.

The Veyron shows enough traction to transmit all its bully torque on the tarmac. The experience of engaging the 3rd gear means totally ghost like, the car spirits up to high speeds by missing to cross the array of speed ranges in-between. But you would only experience your live self when you tick back to the 4th gear and come into your senses about what is happening. At 120mph yes you read it right this car should only be referred as MPH, the sheer magnitude of the acceleration became apparent. But by the time clocking and your foot straddled on the accelerator, Think no further you would have crossed 200MPH and even surpassed the F1’s and you would express, Now this is power.

Although it has only been a year since the Italians from Maserati unveiled the enjoyable Granturismo, they’re introducing to the car lovers all around the world a new, more powerful version of it. The Granturismo S received a Ferrari-sourced 4.7-litre V8 engine pumping out around 350 kW coupled to a twin-clutch transmission for a 0.3 second reduction in the 0 - 100 km/h sprint time.

The extra half a litre gives the car more muscle to raise its power by 34bhp to 434bhp compared to the original Granturismo’s “meagre” 400bhp. Maserati hasn’t put forward to the press any performance figures before the car’s official unveiling next week at Geneva show, but it is expected to have supercar-like speed with a 0 - 100km/h sprint time of less than five seconds.

The more powerful engine is mated to an electro-actuated MC-Shift gearbox mounted on the rear transaxle for optimized weight distribution and faster shifting times, a layout typical of the high-performance sports cars. All this power is kept at bay by the Brembo breaking system which was first used on the Quattroporte Sport GT S and they feature race-developed front brakes with dual-cast iron/aluminum discs and six-pot aluminum callipers.

On the other hand, the visual part of the car hasn’t been subject to a lot of change, and what has been changed are details like the new wheels on the outside or the exclusive leather and Alcantara trim and the figure-hugging front and rear seats are distinguished by their dynamic new concept of horizontal piping on the seats and seatbacks. These cosmetic changes, though discreet, are very effective and make the body appear sportier without abandoning the sleekness lines masterfully designed by Pininfarina.

We can only look forward to the Geneva Motor Show for more juicy details about this exquisite piece of automotive jewelry.
