Subaru Plug-in Stella 2009

The car was developed based on the Subaru STELLA mini car. It combines the EV system with the compact and light body, which offers an adequate and convenient means of transportation for daily commuting. It also achieves 90km* range of driving featuring the most appropriate number of batteries required for city driving.

The car weighs 2,227 pounds, some 265 pounds more than the Stella RS, which is powered by a supercharged 660cc inline-4. Most of the extra weight comes from the pack of lithium-ion batteries. A significant miniaturization program for the battery pack helped reduce the vehicle's overall weight by 110 pounds from the plug-in concept we're driving.

Chevrolet Traverse 2009

The Traverse looks good enough and handles itself well on the open road, but the real charm of this eight passenger crossover lies on the inside.

The Traverse is more sprightly and you can feel the difference in the mid-range of the torque band and when passing on the freeway. The direct-inject engine also provides excellent fuel economy with EPA numbers of 17 around town and 24 on the highway.

AC Schnitzer MINI Cooper R57 Cabriolet 2009

In the interior, the central instruments are arranged between driver and passenger. A characteristic of AC Schnitzer, sporting elements are applied to the driver's workplace. So the Aachen designers offer gear knobs, handbrake handles, pedals and foot rest in aluminum, with velour floor mats.

The car is powered by the stock 1.6 liter engine that has been tuned to output 153 kW/208 hp, while the uprated version of the same engine has been taken up to 166 kW/226 hp. The tuners have also fitted the convertible AC Schnitzer MINI Cooper Cabrio with a limited slip differential.
