Toyota MTRC
Toyota presents its vision of a high-performance future with its daring Motor Triathlon Race Car (MTRC) concept vehicle. Designed and built at Toyota’s European design studio, the MTRC embodies three strengths unquestionably “Toyota”: motor sports passion, a proud 4WD heritage, and global leadership in eco-friendly technologies. The two-seat MTRC is ready to compete in three radically different environments: a smooth track, a city street circuit, and an off-road course.
 Mazda Nagare
Pronounced “na-ga-reh”, Mazda designers call the Nagare concept a precursor of future Mazda designs. This concept car is said to embody the word “flow,” examining light and shadow. It was designed in Mazda’s Southern California advanced design studio.

 Ford F150 -Tested
by Matthew Modestino
Climbing into the truck revealed a very symmetrically designed interior that looked nothing like the Ford trucks of the past. With little touches of carbon fibre paneling, easy to read gauges and snazzy vents, the interior of the FX4 impressed me greatly. The seats were comfy and the sightlines were great. I couldn’t wait to give her a drive.

Winning Diesel Race Car Breaks the Mold
by Dan Modestino
Audi Sport’s newest winning technology is focused on fuel efficiency, low exhaust emissions and exploring new territory in the world of racing.
In the words of Audi of America executive vice president Johan de Nysschen, the Audi R8 is the “most successful car in motorsport history,” with 63 victories in a total of 80 races. In July, 2006, the R8 won its final race, giving way to the new R10 turbodiesel, which won the American LeMans Series championship at the Mosport round in Canada in August, as well as the overall victory in June at the 24 Hours of LeMans, the famed, 83-year-old French endurance race. Audi’s R8 went nearly unbeaten in North America’s premier sports racing series from 2000, winning every championship through 2005, as well as five victories at LeMans, still known today as the world’s most grueling endurance race.
