I read through a lot of magazines and one of my favorite magazines of all time is Popular Mechanics

I go to the auto section and keep a lookout for new trends in the auto industry and learn about concepts and technology trends

I thought I'd share some highlights from the magazine

VOLKSWAGEN GTI R32



If you thought the GTI 2.0 L turbocharged was quick, check this out

The new vDUB will receive a 3.2 V6 to product 250 hp and of course have special goodies like badging and specially trimmed seats... but is it really worth the $34,000 price tag? Only if you're a hardcore VW enthusiast


DODGE VIPER SRT10



The all new Dodge Viper now hits the 600 hp club with added displacement to 8.4 liters with bigger valves, CNC ported heads

The newest addition is a viscous type limited slip differential and top speeds of about 200 mph -- Wow


2008 BMW M3



To keep the strength but lose the pounds, German engineers use an aluminum components throughout the chassis

In effort to lower the car's center of gravity (I'm very jealous) the roof weight was cut by using carbon fiber reinforced materials, less weight up top makes for a much balanced ride

One particular first according to Popular Mechanics is the addition of a 4.0 liter V8 engine which produces a breathtaking 414 hp at 8300 rpm and a strong 295 ft lb at a mere 3900 rpm
