Undoubtedly the star of the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Jaguar C-X75 – judged by a Louis Vuitton panel – has once again beaten stiff competition. The panel was led by renowned automotive consultant and inaugurator of the prize, Christian Philippsen.
“Ian Callum, Jaguar’s design director, and his team have achieved not only a beautiful design in clothing a world-premiere and mouth-watering technology, but also a true Jaguar, projecting the brand’s DNA into the future without an ounce of nostalgia,” said Philippsen.

Jaguar C-X75, like Louis Vuitton, has built its reputation on the key foundations of luxury, attention to detail and understated elegance. The Jaguar C-X75 is an electric supercar built to celebrate 75 years of the Jaguar marque and was praised by the panel for the way in which it showcased the technology of the future with a beautiful design without looking to the past.

6 Pocket Rockets

Just as the car is small does not mean it has to be slow. In fact, some of the fastest cars on the road cars of today. Why? Because their owners are modified to the point where you can squeeze more power and acceleration. Let's take a look at six cars that qualify as true "pocket rockets."

There For the sake of argument, here are some basic rules for the pocket rocket:
The car must be a compact or less.

Must aspirated engine = turbo cars - four cylinders only. Need new versions of all cars retail for less than $ 20,000.

after the rocket so that all cars qualify pocket when all conditions are met:

Dodge Neon, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Scion tC, Subaru Impreza and Volkswagen Golf.

Unfortunately, the Mitsubishi Eclipse retail just over $ 20,000 so that does not qualify. Moreover, it is too much like a sports car, consider the vehicle that is a bit 'simple, before being transformed by aftermarket parts.

Dodge Neon - Technically, the neon is no longer in production in 2005 was the last model. Still, a 2.0L 132hp engine, the Neon is a favorite affordable to enjoy the younger personalization of their vehicles

Ford Focus - A lemon no more! Earlier models of the Focus were problem plagued, but the machine has made significant progress in recent years and found Consumer Reports recommended buy label too. The stubby ZX3 produces 136 horses with its 2.0L engine

Honda Civic - redesigned for 2006, the Civic has been a favorite of fans for over thirty years. Its teeny 1.8L engine pushes out an impressive 140 horsepower. The new Civic is a far cry from the "pregnant roller" skate first appearance of the Civic. Grateful owners.

Scion TC-Unlike its two boxy brethren, the TC has an elegant appearance and demeanor rocket. With a 2.3L under the hood, the engine TC second largest of any car in this class. You net 160 horses with the Scion.

Subaru Impreza - The largest car in this class is the most powerful engine, the engine producing 173 horsepower 2.5L Boxter. Very competitive with larger cars and more powerful, but a favorite among the "pocket rocket" fan anyway.

VW Golf - A Golf 2.0L 115hp unit, but allows the car to be light to buzz down the road is pretty good clip.

Favorite ways to squeeze more power owners pocket rocket includes the following sections to install aftermarket:

Among the top vendors; reusable K & N air filters and Green.

Tracks include; cold air intake system: K & N, AEM, and Airaid.
Cat-back exhaust systems, the main producers are: Magnaflow and lively.

Performance Chip Jet Chips Hypertec and lead by example.

performance level is measured increases in power, thrust and acceleration. Depending on the components installed and model selected, the improvements can range from small to significant. Regardless, all six models have the potential to be a real pocket rocket, and that part of the fun in single ownership.
