Volkswagen Golf GTi 2012

 

Seen in Manchester on the Cathedral car park, this dark grey icon, the Volkswagen Golf GTi. With a 2.0l Turbo 4-cylinder engine and 210bhp, the GTi covers 0-62 in 6.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 149mph or 235km/h

Ford Focus RS 2009

 

Parked in Old Trafford, the Ford Focus RS with a 2.5l  straight 5-cylinder, 305bhp, 0-62 in 5.9 seconds and top speed of 163mph or 262km/h.

Chevrolet Camaro V8 2013

 

Still in Old Trafford tonight, with one of United's sponsors, Chevrolet. This particular one is a brand new Camaro V8 Convertible in white with red stripes! 6.2 V8 engine and 405bhp!!! 5.4 seconds to complete 0=62 and a limited top speed of 155mph (250km/h)

Audi R8 V8 2007

 

Picture taken on the car park at Old Trafford before the match Manchester United - Liverpool. This is an Audi R8 V8 with an unusual matte black roof. As usual with the V8, we have a 4.2l engine with 420bhp. It can reach 62mph in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 187mph (300km/h).

Volkswagen Phaeton 3.0 TDi 2011

Here is the big Volkswagen Phaeton. This is a great looking executive car which is, I believe, very under-rated. It is a very well equipped, quality car, which is indeed rather expensive. The VW badge on that type of car struggles to compete with its German cousins Mercedes S-class, BMW 7-series and Audi A8! That is why you don't see many of them around. This particular one has a "small" diesel engine - 3.0 V6 TDi with 237bhp- but if you need more power, you can still opt for the W12 version with 444bhp! With the V6 diesel power plant, you will reach 62mph in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 147mph or 237km/h.

Porsche Cayenne Diesel

 

Another Porsche Cayenne spotted in Knutsford, diesel this time. 3.0 V6 TDI producing 240bhp, 0-62 in 7.8 seconds and top speed of 135mph (217km/h)

Mercedes CL500

 

We had the older model a few days ago, now a more recent 2007 Mercedes CL500. 5.5 V8, 388bhp, 0-62 in 5.5 seconds and top speed of 155mph (250km/h), not bad for such a big coupe (well a 3-door S-class really!!!)
