The new line offers three power-trains: a 3.8-liter V6 that can deliver 200 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 with variable valve timing that can develop 240 horsepower and last, but not least, a 5.3-liter small-block V8 that can deliver 300 horsepower and speed up to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.

The models are engineered by the GM Performance Division for Buick. The LaCrosse Super is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine that can deliver 300 horsepower. The chassis was tuned to deliver improved handling. The Lucerne Super features a 4.6-liter V8 engine that can develop 292 horsepower.

Buick developed a new model, a four-seat convertible with an elegant environment and big extravagance. The carmaker will reveal the Velite concept at the New York Auto Show.

Also it is important to know that the engine features fuel-saving variable valve timing technology, which is available on some of the four-, five-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines. Because it uses variable engine valve timing the fuel economy, horsepower and torque are improved, but in the same time the CO2 emissions are reduced.

We have heard and read a lot of things about Jay Leno and this time it was about the cars he drives. It seems that he prefers funny cars like Stanley Steamers on Hollywood way, a Mercer Racebout on the I-5 and even a tank-V12 powered roadster at the corner of the street. Also there are days when he drives 2 different cars / day. He is for sure a legit car guy. Jay himself said that he was always attracted to cars and as a kid he swindled his dad into ordering a 428ci Police Interceptor package for the new family two-door Galaxy. A 1934 Ford truck was his first car and in high-school he was driving a 1965 Buick GS. Even if he owned so many cars, he is not really into high-speeds, but he is interested more in the engineering, the history and the character of his ...
