For numerous reasons, the state of Texas is one of the biggest and most important markets for pickup trucks. And as such, it shouldn't surprise anyone that automakers will go as far as to create special edition versions made exclusively for buyers in the Lone Star state. Marking the 10th anniversary of its fittingly named, Texas-only Lone Star edition, the Chrysler Group's Ram division has presented a new model that will continue the brand's tradition. “The Ram 1500 Lone Star was the first pickup truck designed by Texans and built specifically for Texans,” said Ram boss, Fred Diaz. “Native Texans are very proud to be from the Lone Star State. For the last 10 years, this truck has given us the authentic opportunity to proudly connect Ram with Texas’ very proud state motto. It’s by far our best-selling Ram truck in Texas.” Appropriately, the 2012 Ram Lone Star 10th Anniversary edition will get larger “Lone Star” badges with the prominent red, white and blue Texas state emblem on its front doors and tailgate, which replace the "Ram 1500" badging on the truck. It also rides on 20-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, exclusive features include Katzkin perforated leather seats with embossed Texas/Lone Star logos, a 10th Anniversary emblem on the passenger glove box and special floor mats. The truck is available only in Crew Cab configuration with bucket seats and is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 Hemi delivering 390hp, 407 lb-ft of torque and 20 mpg, linked to a 6-speed automatic. The Lone Star 10th Anniversary edition is priced at $36,440 and will be available for order at Ram's Texas dealerships towards the end of the second quarter. PHOTO GALLERY

F12berlinetta is the Most Powerful and Fastest Ferrari

Maranello has blown the covers off the successor to its 599 GTB Fiorano and a direct opponent of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The car was rumored to be called the F620 GT but as it turns out, we will come to know it as the new F12berlinetta. Billed as the fastest and most powerful regular production Ferrari in history, the F12berlinetta sports a 6.3-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine that produces 730HP (740PS), which translates to a specific output of 116HP per liter. It also delivers a peak torque of 690Nm or 508.9 lb-ft, 80 percent of which is available at just 2,500 rpm, while it can rev up to 8,700 rpm. The 12-cylinder unit is linked to an F1 dual-clutch transmission with close gear ratios that drives the rear wheels. Ferrari says that the F12berlinetta accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62mph) in 3.1 seconds and from zero to 200 km/h (12mph) in 8.5 seconds en route to a top speed in excess of 340km/h (211mph+) adding that it also completes a lap of the Fioran

Mercedes-Benz Officials Confirm Baby SLS AMG Sports Car

In the very near future, Mercedes-Benz will offer two thoroughbred sports cars as company officials have confirmed the production of a more affordable 'baby' SLS AMG sports model to rival the Porsche 911 and possibly, Jaguar's F-Type. The news comes from two different sources, the head of Mercedes-Benz design Gorden Wagener, who told British magazine Autoexpress that the sports car will be named SLC, and the company's boss, Dieter Zetsche, who told Autocar that the SLC will be a front-engined model sitting under the SLS AMG. From there on, it's all speculation about the SLC's powertrain and design, though it is possible that the car could be offered with both a V6 and a V8 engine. Don't expect to see the production model before 2015, but a concept version is almost certain to come within the next couple of years. Wagener also revealed that the name of the production version of the 'baby' SLS Concept Style Coupe is CLA and that the automaker is
