The finalists of the 2011 car of the year competition have been chosen and announced after a wide selection of 39 different contestants to begin with. Nissan leaf, the first of its kind among fully electric cars, took the competition with a clutch victory of 257 points winning the titles of 2011 Car of the Year and 2011 World Green Car of the Year. As gas prices continue to rise it is the money-saving appeal of the electric car that is gaining so much attention, but will it be able to maintain victory against it's competitors when the face-off occurs at the April New York Auto Show? With increasing gas prices, you should reduce the monthly expenditures for your vehicle by looking for cheap insurance Canada through an online comparison website.
Also in the competition to win the title of 2011 World Car of the Year are the Audi A8 and BMW 5 Series. Up against the Nissan Leaf in the green competition are the Chevrolet Volt and BMW 320d. The Audi A8, with its V8 engine, wildly surpasses the previous fuel efficiency of the BMW Hybrid and even performs better than other hybrids, with intricate detail and precision in handling on the road. The BMW 5 Series are available in 3 designs: Sedan, Touring and Gran Turismo. Safety is greatly enhanced by implementation of camera systems that allow for extended view of the areas surrounding the car.
Up for 2011 Car of the Year in performance are Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 Turbo and Mercedez Benz SLS AMG. The Ferrari 458 Italia is much more than sleek design and aesthetic appeal; it is the first Ferrari to be released on the market that does not offer the option of manual transmission. However, it is possible that the 458 Italia could be hindered in competition by the recalls that were issued in 2010 due to safety concerns. Raging from 0 - 60mph in just 3.5 seconds, there's no doubting that the Porsche 911 Turbo has massive power underneath the hood. And at 24 miles to the gallon, fuel efficiency plays a large role in the success of the sports car. Did I mention its top speed is 194mph? And as the cover car for the PS3 video game Gran Turismo 5, the Mercedez Benz SLS AMG is available in three different versions and expected to be available in the U.S. sometime during 2011.
With gas prices on the rise and electric cars gaining more attention, many are expecting the interest in electrical cars to soar during 2011, but each of the finalists for 2011 car of the year have unique appeal and have fought their way through the competition to the final showdown. Each of the cars chosen will be on display in Geneva until March 13th, 2011. The winner is expected to be announced April 21st at the much anticipated 2011 New York Auto Show.
Which cars will walk away with the titles for 2011 car of the year remains a mystery, but the time-frame is closing in on the competition. Each of the finalists will soon go head to head in the biggest auto show competition of the year and the winner will be announced.
