Corvette ZR1 to get Upgrades & Price Bump in 2010

<center><img alt="Corvette ZR1" height="266" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2008/9/large/9080926.007.Mini1L2.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The cost to own America's own 638-horsepower supercar just got more expensive. GM recently released prices of all Corvette models to dealers and the 2010 Corvette will now start at $107,830. Add the required $1,700 gas guzzler tax for the Corvette ZR1 and the new out the door price increases to $109,530, an increase of $2,910 over the 2009's MSRP + gas tax of $106,620.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="Corvette ZR1" height="479" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2008/9/large/9080926.007.Mini8L2.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />To offset the price bump, Chevy is equipping the '10 ZR1 with performance traction management technology, launch control and standard side air bags. According to GM, the PTM system "optimizes traction for greater and more consistent on-track performance" by modulating engine torque 100 times per second and automatically managing acceleration dynamics when exiting corners at full throttle.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Corvette ZR1" height="261" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2008/9/large/9080926.007.Mini12L2.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The 2010 Corvette ZR1 does feature several new enhancements over the current model. New is the Performance Traction Management technology, Launch Control and standard side air bags. A new cashmere interior will be available later this fall and now the Corvette ZR1 can be ordered in any of the Corvette’s standard colors including Torch Red, Arctic White and Crystal Red Metallic.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Corvette ZR1" height="267" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2008/9/large/9080926.007.Mini5L2.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Thankfully, the ZR1's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine carries over untouched. With 638 horsepower (476 kW) and 604 lb-ft (819 Nm) of torque, the ZR1 rockets to a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).<br /><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090618.004/mini17/corvette-zr1-to-get-upgrades-price-bump-in-2010">More Photos</a><br /><br /></span>

Mercedeshas announced UK pricing for SLK 2LOOK Edition

<center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="267" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/8488055.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Mercedes-Benz has just announced UK pricing for the Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOK Edition. Introduced in March at the Geneva Motor Show, the special edition will cost UK customers £31,235.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="187" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/8813658.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Each unit comes in a choice of four colors, Calcite White, Mystic White, Black, or Obsedian Black Metallic. The last choice is considered a normal "option," but the company referrs to Mystic White as a "special order", surely costing the customer a bundle. Blackened headlamps give the 2LOOK a unique design, but the new 18-inch double-five spoke alloys come standard in either Chrome Shadow or Titanium Silver. Look for the unique badging around the vehicle.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="298" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/6690737.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Only 150 units of the car will be brought to market, with each of the UK editions getting the 200 KOMPRESSOR. The supercharged four-banger produces 184 horsepower, and a maximum 184 ft-lb of torque. Unfortunately, the SLK 300 and SLK 350 Sports versions of the 2LOOK available in the EU will not be available in Britain.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="292" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/2739993.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Inside, opposing black and white nappa leather comes with "contrasting topstitching," covering the armrest, door panels, and steering wheel. Meanwhile, the Mystic white dash further contrasts against the black roofliner and floormats. Everybody will stay comfortable thanks to the heated seats that also blow out heated air at the neck-level. Take the top down, and the custom transparent wind deflector keeps things toasty even in winter.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="251" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/385689.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />In the end, purchasers of the Mercedes-Benz SLK 2LOOK will get over £2,395 in goodies. This translates to a total discount of £605.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes SLK 2LOOK Edition" height="299" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/6/large/8398975.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Press Release</span><br /><br /><p style="font-style: italic;"><strong>Mercedes-Benz gives SLK customers something 2LOOK forward to this summer</strong></p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Mercedes-Benz is launching the SLK 2LOOK Edition just in time for summer. The striking special edition enhances the already stunning SLK Roadster with unique colour options inside and out, while increased standard equipment ensures driver and passenger alike have everything they could need for perfect drop-top driving this summer.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">With only 150 cars available, the SLK 2LOOK offers exclusivity and is available in Calcite White or Black paint. For those who want to shimmer in the sun, Obsidian Black Metallic paint is available as an option, while designo Mystic White paint is available as a special order. Imposing 18" 5-twin spoke alloy wheels are standard on the special edition and there is a choice of two finishes, Titanium Silver or Chrome Shadow. The model is further differentiated by the black surrounds on the headlamps and the 2LOOK Edition badge on the wings.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Moving inside, the SLK 2LOOK features sports seats upholstered in sumptuous black and white designo nappa leather with contrasting topstitching. The multi-function steering wheel, centre armrest and door panels also feature the luxurious feel of the designo nappa leather which is carefully selected for quality by experienced Mercedes-Benz upholsterers who ensure top level craftsmanship and attention to detail. The stylish interior is further enhanced by the black roof lining, Mystic white dashboard trim and black velour floor mats with white edging and 2LOOK badges.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">As well as looking good the SLK 2LOOK is also focused on driver and passenger comfort. AIRSCARF, the unique neck-level heating system is fitted as standard and acts like an invisible scarf to ensure occupants keep warm out on the open road. Heated seats and a transparent 2LOOK Edition wind deflector also ensure maximum comfort when driving with the roof down, making open top driving as feasible on a crisp winter's day as it is during the warm summer months.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The SLK 2LOOK will be powered by the popular 200 KOMPRESSOR engine and will be available on the road from £31,235.00. With the designo nappa leather and the host of other additional standard equipment on the SLK 2LOOK, customers will benefit from over £2395 of added value over the standard car. There are also attractive finance rates available on the 2LOOK and other SLK models from Mercedes-Benz retailers.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">As with all Mercedes-Benz models the SLK 2LOOK comes with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty as well as a unique Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance package comprising up to 30-years pan-European breakdown assistance.</p><p style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/9090609.015/mercedes-slk-2look-edition-priced-for-uk">via:WorldCarFans</a><br /></p><br /></span>
