Top cars at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show

Some of the cars may not be shown earlier, because the car may be already launched.

Firstly, one of the tops will be the 2011 BMW Alpina B7. The independent tuner Alpina has been tweaking BMWs since the 1960s. In Chicago, it unveiled the second-generation BMW Alpina B7, which is as close to an M7 as we'll likely ever see, to the North American market. The B7 features a 500-horsepower 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that vaults the car from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. It has an adjustable suspension with active roll stabilization and shorter springs that lower the ride height. Below picture shows the BMW Alpina B7.



Capability is the name of the game in the heavy-duty pickup market, and the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD is ready to deliver. The Chevy truck is built on an all-new frame with a new asymmetrical rear leaf spring design. An optional 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 engine is available that can run on B20, a blend of 80 percent standard diesel fuel and 20 percent biodiesel. New features include Hill Start Assist, mobile wifi, and a smart exhaust brake that varies resistance based on load and grade. Below shows the picture of the truck.



Next car would be the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500. After unveiling new V6 and V8 engines at previous shows, Ford took the wraps off a 2011 Shelby GT500 in the Windy City. The new all-aluminum, supercharged 5.4-liter V8 is 102 pounds lighter than the outgoing engine and delivers 10 more horses than its predecessor for a total output of 550 horsepower. Fuel economy is also improved, eliminating the gas-guzzler tax. Below shows the picture of Shelby.



Here are the top 3 cars of the Auto Show. Now I shall show you the other top 4 cars in the other post.
