More than a dozen motorists a day are pulled up for infringements like modified exhausts, overly tinted windows and various lighting offences. In the first half of the year, Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers issued 2,512 summonses - almost double the 1,337 in the corresponding period last year . The 2,512 figure matches the full-year haul of last year (2,645) and 2009 (2,510) and surpasses the 1,746 in 2008. The LTA keeps a relatively tight rein on what changes can be made to a car because of safety issues. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/S...ory_725312.html

Put the merc SL55 amg into Henry Fisker's hand, and you get this fiesty 5.5l beast that leaps to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds. The SL55's body panels are replaced with carbon fiber ones, its front gets a facelift with a fighter jet-inspired grille and LEDs, and its engine gets beefed up to more than 600 horsepower. Not to mention, you get the prestigious Fisker badges on the hood and trunk lid. official site: http://www.fiskercb.com my opinion? Clumsy pieced together to give it an aston martin feel.

Found some info: (from Volvo Press Release) Hot on the heels of the introduction of Volvo's first V8 engine at the 2004 Paris International Auto Show, Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) is proud to present the eye-grabbing XC90 PUV at this year's Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada. And there may be no better place to show the audacious Swede than Las Vegas. Covered in a luscious racing red paint scheme, the Volvo XC90 PUV will keep the drivers of high-end European exotic cars glancing in their rearview mirrors. "This was such a fun concept," noted Vic Doolan, President and CEO of VCNA, "that we just had to do it. It could possibly be the ultimate Volvo. It has all the safety that Volvo is known for with the looks and performance of an exotic car." But a concept it will remain as neither VCNA nor the Volvo Car Corporation may ever offer anything like the XC90 PUV. Noted Doolan, "This is just to get the juices flowing; to draw attention from those who may not have considered Volvo before." Pushing the "Next Generation SUV" to the Next Level Once you get past the XC90 PUV's aggressive stance and fully customized body enhancements, a true beast lurks within. Still a work in progress, the XC90 PUV is slated to eventually achieve a whopping 650 horsepower through the use of a massive supercharger, revised engine mapping and low restriction exhaust. That power is routed through a modified version of Volvo's Haldex electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system. The system is "pre-charged" meaning that power may be instantly routed to the wheel with the most traction. A new 6-speed automatic "Geartonic" transmission rounds out the driveline. Right out of the box, the production Volvo XC90 V8 has the makings of purebred performer. With 311 horsepower and 325 ft.-lb. or torque at a low 3,900 rpm the Volvo XC90 reinforces its position as one of the most successful SUV models in the premium segment. The new V8 engine marks a new turning-point in Volvo Cars
