Reed Speed Collaborates with Artisan Performance for a 700hp 2010 Ford Mustang

Artisan loves the grease and is not getting tired in beefing up cars. After producing a Camaro SS with a whopping 700 horsepower, they plan to come up with the 2010 Ford Mustang set to conquer the blacktop this month.

The DNA of the 700hp Mustang is based on the Mustang GT with a V8 engine that is coupled with GTK#50 turbochargers. Artisan will be working with Randall Reed Ford to make mutation of the Mustang to a power beast possible.

The tuned Mustang will be branded with the Reed Speed SE mark and will be marketed in some Ford dealerships and Reed stores across the country by mid this year.

Artisan was the team behind the IS-F that caught the attention of the crowd at SEMA. They plan to implement the concepts used on the Lexus for the Ford Mustang.

2009 Aston Martin Vantage Volante

When you get hold a key of a $152,465 super car like the 2009 Vantage from Aston Martin, you make sure that you use it and have the drive of your life time. Push the car to its limits and see how it feels like on the road.

We did not steal a 2009 Vantage but was able to test drive it. It is a car to drool for when you see it parked in front of you. You know the fine lines of a great car inside and out.

You may recognize the genes of the distant relative Jaguar XKR when stare at a Vantage. From front to rear, it may be the car you have wanted to draw since you were a fourth grader. It is a car that does not need to exert efforts to impress.

The interior is an elegant mix of technological, technical, and traditional styles. It is like riding a Steinway piano that can blaze on the road in a blink of an eye.

The push is not as impressive as the Porsche 911 Turbo but the 2009 Aston Martin Vantage knows how to send some tingles to your spine. You can feel the 420 horsepower V8 4.7L power plant under its hood that can push you back your seat as it flies from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds.
