Cars of the future, as a motor enthusiast and a toddler at heart, whenever I envisage cars of the future, it automatically shapes into something that would be able to travel through space, hover, have rear spoilers that have no actual use, and produce so little pollution that everytime one is actually purchased, a polar bear gets a little more of it’s home back. But in this article I would like to talk about what to look out for… in the not so distant future, so I would like to welcome a brand new addition to the green room, So what’s hot and what’s not to look out for in 2010.
What’s hot?
Ferrari 599xx: Those two X’s bring with them an additional 100 hp to the already face shattering 610 hp of the ferrari 599, this prancing pony is not one to be messed with.
2010 Range rover sport: I found that the first installment of the sport was a disappointment, crossed fingers that this one will match eager expectations.
Fisker Karma: It’s an all-sports car with powerful features. It goes 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds and can reach the top speed of 125 mph. Oh and it’s green… Apparently.
Audi A1 Sportback Concept: Aside from the looks , you could almost envisage it gently neutering a sick baby seal back to health.
What’s not.
Mercedes 300SL gullwing: Although not officially announced as being put into produ
ction, why ruin a classic. It’s like a follow up of The Blues brothers… oh wait no that already happened.
BMW X6 M: It’s about as good off road as a Honda Jazz, and has the looks to match.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XF Q-400: With 403 Bhp and 378lb.ft of torque it sure as hell packs a punch, but does ‘Wrx broh!’ mean anything to you?
Nissan Cube: Well it’s certainly a cube…

TGR News: August 2009
Published August 15, 2009 Announcements Leave a CommentTags: tgr news, the green room
Following on from my previous post, I’ve been looking into some alternate theme options and various other improvements that can be made around here. Here’s all the details, organized in convenient point-form.
- New writer! Though he unofficially joined us a little earlier on in the year, The Green Room welcomes Liam F. to the editorial team. His latest articles can be found at his author page.
- New look! As promised, here’s a quick preview of TGR’s “new look”. Please let me know if you love it or hate it, I’m open to any suggestions and still attempting (albeit rather slowly) to learn WordPress.org site development.
- New year! Five days from now, TGR will be one year old. We’ll take a trip down memory lane on the day with our finest moments.
Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter for quicker, less-reading-required messages and fan us up on Facebook while you’re at it for brownie points. – r.
In modern day society, two Italian super car brands seemingly dominate their category, Ferrari and Lamborghini, undoubtedly great cars, with their Italian/ German style, finesse and of course their stomach wrenching speeds and power.
Trying to outdo one of the two… well? let’s be quite frank, is a huge risk and could end in tears. So what were Alfa thinking then? did they actually believe they could abolish the Ferrari’s finesse or the Lambo ludicrousness… Well its name just so happens to translate into Competition in it’s birth language, so let us see if it lives up to it shall we?
It has been dubbed the Alfa romeo Competitzione, A civil war is about to break out. But it’s got the specs to give the Stallion a run for it’s money, beside its mind-boggling 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds its deliver a massive punch. As a sports coupe, we will see how it’s shapes up to probably it’s biggest rival in the market. The 599 GTB Fiorano.
The 599.
- 0-60. 3.7 seconds.
- BHP 611 bhp
- Curb weight 1,690 kg.
- Fuel Capacity 19 MPG
Alfa romeo Competitzione.
- 0-60. 4.4 seconds.
- BHP 444 bhp.
- Curb weight 1585 kg
- Fuel Capacity 23 MPG
Sadly, The Alfa does not compare with the Ferraris sheer power or speed. But, what I believe is the reason I adore this car so much, and why I share love for every romeo. Is the vast amounts of passion and effort that is gently tee spooned onto these machines. Whilst lambo is being overruled by the Germans, Alfa still retains it’s Italian heritage, and this is why I so highly recommend this car, because it is not just a piece of machinery, it’s a work of pure art.
Better than it’s rivals, well… lets be honest no, but Alfa has made a statement about itself which will send chills down the Stallions black neck.

Confessions of a lazy blogger

Isla Fisher's head really is full of Air.
Cue these three songs immediately.
Right, well it’s been quite a while since last posting here at The Green Room. This time, however, I promise we’re back (honest)!
This is just a heads up about a pretty major site upgrade that will hopefully be launched on our first birthday (August 20th). Until then, posts are going to be a little light around here (just like usual) but rest assured, we haven’t abandoned TGR.
To verify that I’m not lying, I’m adding a rather large “Under construction” banner to the site’s header in the meantime, so keep hitting that refresh button every now and then for updates and juicy details about TGR 2.0.
Now that you’ve read this, you can cue this song instead, knowing that the best really is yet to come… – r.
