Aston Martin plans to introduce their new four door sports car in early 2010 to compete with the Maserati Quattroporte and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, along with the upcoming Audi A7, Porsche Panamera, and Lamborghini Estoque.Designed by a team led by Marek Reichman, the new head of design at Aston Martin, it's a four-door concept car with four proper seats built on an extended version of the DB9's underpinnings. The VH architecture is at the heart of this manufacturing operation, its modular structure providing such inherent rigidity that it has given the company's designers and engineers the same levels of freedom as their predecessors, 50 years before. In today's marketplace, even low volume manufacturers like Aston Martin are governed by strict legislation and the need to balance power, weight distribution, handling and safety.Based on Aston Martin's unique VH (Vertical/Horizontal) architecture, the Rapide combines the company's commitment to power, beauty and soul with space and practicality for every eventuality.It was thought that the Rapide would post numbers that are in between the two Porsche Panamera V8 models. Those cars go 0-60 mph in either 4 seconds or 4.8 seconds,...more

In fact over the years passenger safety has become a very important attribute on which cars are sold and reputations are established. You can therefore be justified in asking if fog lights are so important for safe driving how come they are not a standard feature on all cars?Well for one thing an increasingly larger number of models now have factory fitted fog lights. And on the other hand in situations of extremely poor visibility even fog lights may not help. But there are often situations where the visibility is not good but if you could see the road immediately ahead of you then you could proceed cautiously till either the visibility improves or you reach your destination. Remember with poor visibility you can get stranded even if you are just a few kilometers from your home.Fog lights are lights that have a special beam which is able to penetrate better through the mist and fog than a standard headlight beam. It is usually a yellow or a light purple colored beam. A third color red is not used because it can get confused with tail lights. These lights are mounted low on the car and...more
