The BMW M3 is one of the finest driver’s cars ever made, and I was finally lucky enough to spend a week with one. The heart of the M3 is an exquisite 4.0L V8, making 414hp at a wild 8300rpm. Peak torque is 295 lb-ft, but that entire figure is available at just 3900rpm, a stunning mark of tractability in such a high-revving screamer. Our test car was equipped with a 7-speed DCT (BMW’s name for the fancy dual-clutch gearbox), and the transmission—like other vehicle characteristics like throttle response and suspension—can be adjusted from ‘nice and easy’ to ‘neckbreaking.’ 2011 M3s equipped with this transmission have gone as low as 3.9 sec to 60mph, and 12.5 sec in the 1/4-mile. Yet due to the engine’s powerband, it’s remarkably civilized around town. Gearing is perfect; even in 7th gear, the car is never caught flat-footed. In fact, at 2000rpm in 7th the car will be going just 50mph! That is great for acceleration, bad for fuel economy: the M3 manages just 14 mpg city and 20 highway and gets slapped with the gaz-guzzler tax. That’s really the only chink in the car’s armor, and the M3 instantly became the car by which I measure all sports cars by. —Ross Rapoport, Road Test Editor and Video Host Download the window sticker and see additional photos of the M3 at roadflytv.com Vehicle 2011 M3 Coupe Base Price: 400 Price as tested: 925 Engine: 4.0L 32V V8 Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual (DCT) Horsepower: 414 @ 8300 rpm Torque: 295 lb.-ft. @ 3900 rpm 0 …

Audi redesigned their top of the line sport sedan for 2011. The new Audi A8 has redesigned sheet metal and a more pronounced fascia on the outside and the interior is decidedly Audi - upscale and modern. Once you’re behind the wheel of this stunning uber-sedan and you’re already enjoying some of the best driving dynamics in the world you’ll be ready to enjoy the super-modern interior and amenities. Super cool lighting treatments are one of the first things you’ll notice about the Audi’s interior. The 2011 Audi A8 is most often compared to the Mercedes-Benz S550 and the BMW 7 Series variants. They each offer their own take on the European sport sedan. The big differentiator is probably the price in the case of the Audi. The Audi comes standard with all-wheel-drive and for the piece of mind and safety that AWD adds choosing amongst the three competitors is more difficult than ever. Vehicle: 2011 Audi A8 Engine: 4.2 liter, 8 cylinder, direct injection Transmission: 8 speed automatic Horsepower: 372 hp and 328 lb-ft of torque 0-60 MPH: 5.5 seconds MPG: 17 city / 27 highway Host: Ross Rapoport Roadfly.com - www.roadfly.com Car Forum - http RoadflyTV - www.youtube.com Facebook - www.facebook.com Twitter - twitter.com IMDB - www.imdb.com
