Arden Jaguar XKR AJ20
The Arden Jaguar XKR AJ20 has a re-built engine that has received an increase in displacement.
The displacement increase in Arden Jaguar XKR AJ20's engine was made possible by fitting a new crankshaft along with new con rods and pistons. The Arden Jaguar XKR AJ20 has now a 4.5 liter engine. The Arden XKR AJ20 develops 480 bhp / 353 kW and 640 Nm of torque at 3.850 rpm from its supercharged 4.5 l V8 engine.
The Arden XKR AJ20 has various aerodynamic improvements that also give it a more sporty look. The aerodynamics of the Arden XKR AJ20 were tested and optimised in the wind tunnel with the effect of a better air drag.

Mitsubishi Double Shotz Hot Wheels Concept
Toy manufacturer Mattel has announced that Mitsubishi Motors Research and Design of America (MRDA) employee Gary Ragle is among seven designer finalists to be selected in the company's first-ever Hot Wheels Designer's Challenge. MRDA was among six automotive manufacturers to participate in the challenge, which marked the first time Hot Wheels has turned outside the company to seek new vehicle designs.
Created to represent the ultimate Mitsubishi vehicle and the spirit of the brand's future, the sleek design of Ragle's Mitsubishi Double Shotz celebrates the 4G63 engine and the Lancer Evolution. "The design takes the concept of the Lancer Evolution to the next level and ties it in with the enjoyment and imagination of the Hot Wheels® brand," said Ragle.
After being selected by a panel of judges that included editors from the Los Angeles Times, Car and Driver, and Men's Journal, along with Hot Wheels designers and executives, the designs were unveiled at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas on October 30th, 2007. The Hot Wheels Designer's Challenge product line will be available in stores in the spring of 2008.
