Jaguar XKR175

Picture Source: PR Newswire / Glen Davis

The XKR is the beast of the Jaguar line-up, it packs power beyond belief and in this limited edition XKR175 the V8 comes with supercharger and 510hp with a torque delivery of 461lb-ft. The car is still limited to 174 in the ECU for stability even though it does feature a new aero kit for better downforce. The front air dam, side sills, diffuser and larger spoiler help keep the new XKR on the tarmac. To help lay down the power the XKR175 will also pack 20″ Kasuga wheels in 10 spoke form.

Limited to 175 cars the Ultimate Black exterior and charcoal interior will capture drivers by appealing as the Black Knight of British sports cars. With detailed red stitching and Piano black veneer gracing the accents of the drivers cabin. Those wondering how much coin they’ll need to drop might stagger at the MSRP of $104,500. From just the distant early picture the car seems to be well worth the asking price.

With the game releasing soon we’ll be throwing out a free XBLA code for one lucky winner this week. Reply by August 14 2010 at 12pm PST for a chance to get a free download code for Monday Night Combat.

For the few of fans who are interested on the progress of the latest spider-man reboot they have found an actor.  Early July they announced that Andrew Garfield will step in to the role of Peter Parker. Garfield  is a 26 year old form Los Angeles, California  .  Due to Garfield being 26 Sony thought he would be to old to play a high school student, So instead the movie will  have the character  start as a  college student. James Vanderbilt will write the script for the new film and Marc Webb will direct.

Filming  will start  this December in Los Angeles

The Spider man series has been given mixed reviews since the first was release may of 2002, many fans like the first movie and felt it was the best adaptation of the Original story. Those Fans gave the first movie a 89%  review rating.  Spider-man 2 on the other hand received a 93% rating was said to have been the best movie. The last movie on the other hand was rate 63% and was consider a waste of money. Since the announcement of the reboot many fans are already blogging why the new film will be just as bad as the last film.

Fighting game fans are just recovering from the shock of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
