Listen to the Sound of the 2011 Ford Mustang's 305HP 3.7-liter V6

We're still waiting for Ford to release an official video on the 2011 Mustang that marks the debut of a new 3.7-liter V6 with 305 ponies which will replace the 2010MY's archaic and underpowered 4.0-liter V6 with 210hp. However, we did find a short audio clip of the Mustang's new V6 that you can hear after the jump. And just for the record, the original clip was only 6 seconds long so we added three in a row.

Infiniti's 2011 M Sedan Makes a Grand Entrance at Beverly Hills Hotel

There's a lot going on around the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills as Infiniti is making the final preparations for the presentation of its all-new 2011 M sedan and the updated 2010 G series. In this photo that was published on Infiniti's Facebook page, a crane is lifting the 2011 M saloon into the hotel before Tuesday night's reveal. Tune into Carscoop tomorrow night for all the details and photos on both cars.

Huh? JDM Honda Odyssey Tricked Out as a BMW

Needless to say, this Japanese domestic market Honda Odyssey isn't your typical soccer-mom's minivan. Besides the insane negative camber all around and the fact that in parking position, the Odyssey sits only about an inch or two away from the road, what makes this custom creation stand out from the crowd is that the designer managed to incorporate the front-end of an E92 BMW 3-Series Coupe. Oddly enough, the bimmer nose seems to work nice... More photos after the jump.

VIDEO: 700HP Toyota Celica GT4 Tops Out at 202MPH - 325km/h

Ever wonder what the world looks like at over 200mph from the driver's seat? Well then, just hit the jump to watch this video of the Fensport-prepped Toyota Celica GT4 racer which recorded a top speed of 202.2 mph or 325km/h on November 21 at the Woodbridge Airfield near Ipswich, in the UK.

The man behind the steering wheel of the heavily modified Celica GT4, which features all-wheel drive and a 2.1-liter engine with a Turbo Dynamics' MD355 blueprinted turbocharger cranking out 700-horsepower, was Time Attack competitor, Adrian Smith.

"I started fine. I got wheel spin on the slippery start in the first three gears, but once in 4th the car settled nicely," said Smith. "At around 180 MPH a crosswind again started to move the car off-line. However, I kept my foot in and thankfully the car stayed straight and the wind subdued."

"I checked the speed and it was 201, then 202! I was thinking 'Yes it is going to do 205/206,' but then there was a tiny misfire and the speed dropped to 201 again. By then it was time to brake. I had done 202.22 MPH, what an amazing feeling."

According to Fensport, the 202.22 mph top speed was achieved from a standing start in just 1.1 miles.

Lexus Appoints London Dealership as Dedicated European Sales Center for LFA Supercar

If you live in Europe and want to buy the all-new Lexus LFA V10 supercar, then the only option you have is to head over to the Japanese firm's Park Lane showroom in London that has been selected as the center for all European LFA sales. Lexus has opened a special VIP selection room in the Park Lane dealership where LFA customers can discuss their requirements with Devshi Varsani who is the firm's dedicated LFA Personal Liaison Manager.

"Lexus has a world-leading reputation for customer service and I will be playing my part in ensuring the people who purchase the LFA, wherever they come from in Europe, are given all the assistance and support they require," said Varsani.

"Since LFA was unveiled to the world last month, we have experienced a strong demand from prospective customers from across Europe. Having the car on display in our showroom will allow these potential customers to come see the supercar in the flesh, an important part of the sales process for such an extraordinary car."

From the 500 examples of the LFA that are destined to be built, only a small proportion of this total will be available in Europe. Lexus made it clear that all European cars will be fully sold to the customer.

2011 Ford Fiesta: U.S.-Spec Hatch and Sedan Leaked Online, Mega Gallery with 125 Photos

Only two days before the 2011 Ford Fiesta's premiere at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show, and a comprehensive gallery depicting what is claimed to be the North American market version of car, has made its way onto the internet. We don't have any official information on the subcompact model that will be offered in the States as a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan, but the photos show that Ford's US division made a few minor yet noticeable stylistic changes on the car's exterior design.

Compared to its European sibling, the 2011 Fiesta hatchback gets a slightly different upper grille along with a reshaped bumper housing a revised lower air grille and large chrome scoops at both corners. At the rear, the only visible changes concern the larger lower lights strips and the more pronounced bumper trim in the center.

In what concerns the Fiesta four-door sedan, it features a somewhat gaudy three-bar grille up front while at the back, Ford designer's tweaked the rear bumper and added a different set of tail lights that are reminiscent of the Taurus sedan.
