Tesla Roadster is a fully electric sports car, and is the first car to be produced by electric car firm Tesla Motors. Tesla claims prototypes have been able to accelerate from 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in under 4 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 130 mph (210 km/h).

With Power Electronics Module (PEM), Most of the subsystems in the Tesla Roadster are completely electronic and under direct software control. But unlike all other cars, these systems are not a hodge-podge of independent systems — instead, they are designed as an integrated system, the way complex network and computer systems are designed today.

The Volkswagen Passat has been part of Volkswagen for the better part of 35 years. It has undergone six transformations from the time it was first introduced in 1973. However, that number is about to change come to 2011 when Volkswagen releases a new wave of Passat automobiles.

Although the new Volkswagen Passat CC is still in its rendering stages, the initial images released by the company have given us a glimpse of something brimming with potential. Based on its current design, the new Passat still makes use of the tripartite design for its front bumper and has incorporated a sleeker-looking set of headlights. Its current design is pretty much inspired from Audi’s A6 Avant, although it’s said to be slightly bigger. Reports indicate that it will maintain the same engine type but will make use of a more versatile modular platform.

Volkswagen's focus on compact, smart cars have paid off. Recent statistics reveal that Volkswagen is now the third largest automaker in the world. This is based on the number of cars manufactured per company. Volkswagen is constantly trailing Ford over the years in terms of volume, but recent increase on the number of cars manufactured last year has placed them a notch higher compared to Ford.

Aston Martin Vanquish was designed after the “Project Vantage” concept car and remained unchanged until 2005, when the Aston Martin Vanquish S was launched, which had new wheels and more power. It was sold alongside with the original Vanquish and in 2006 it managed stand-alone sales. Approximately 1500 Aston Martins v12 Vanquish and Aston Martins v12 Vanquish S have been sold since the first launch in 2001. The production stopped in July 2007, moment celebrated by the introduction of the Vanquish Ultimate Edition. This was the only one sold with manual-transmission. Many criticized the Aston Martin Vanquish’s automatic gearbox, especially acclaimed Jeremy Clarkson, from “Top Gear”. This change was estimated at £13,250.

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Mansory

The Vanquish has a V12 engine of 6.0 l that generates 460 horsepower and 400 feet-pound torque. It has 6 speed semi-automatic transmission, with gear that changes under 250 milliseconds. It reaches 100km/hour under 5 seconds, using electronic throttle control and has a top speed of 300km/hour. The body structure is made of aluminum and carbon fiber and composite materials. Superior electronic developments allow the transmission to run automatically for sport modes or difficult weather condition, running on 19-inch wheels. The V12 engine was designed at the Ford Company in USA and shares certain components with the 3.0 l Duratec 30 V6.

The TechArt Porsche Cayenne Magnum. Ugly or full of character? I have to be honest I’m not normally a fan of the Cayenne but I love what TechArt have done with the beast. Just look at those white wheels!

Audi A5. Why do Audi cars in particular look so well in white?

Heavily customised Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Otherwise known as the Popemobile!

This is the gorgeous Audi R8. Simply stunning in white.

This is the new Audi A4. After the R8 it’s understated, but also looks well in white.

This is the Audi TT Roadster with modifications by Abt Sportsline.

This is the Audi Q7 V12 TDI concept. Are you bored of black 4×4’s? I know I am so its refreshing to see one in white.

Last of the Audi’s is the small but perfectly formed S3.

It’s very hard to find an Aston Martin of any kind, never mind a V8 Vantage in white. Had to look to Dubai (where else) for this one.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

Bentley Continental GT.

BMW M3 in Alpine White. Gorgeous.

OK so not quite white but doesn’t this Ferrari F430 Spider look good in ivory?

The Ford Kuga is due to be launched in the UK later this year. Not bad for a Ford is it? Bit better looking than the bland new Mondeo anyway.

The Mercedes ML Edition 10, due out early 2008.

I struggled to get a picture of the new Mercedes C Class in Sport trim in white but hopefully you can see from the image below how good it looks.

Even the humble Volkswagen Polo GTI suits a white coat of paint.

And the Polo’s big brother, the Golf GTI.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. I saw one of these in Vegas earlier this year (in a shopping mall) and it just looked fantastic in white.

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Versace Edition. Wow!

BMW 1 series. I didn’t like these at first but they’ve really grown on me now.

Fiat Grande Punto Abarth.

Honda Civic Type R. The pic below is the official concept, bizarrely you can’t buy it in white in UK showrooms.
