This might sound surprising but this was exactly what happened on the Oprah show this thanksgiving. The audience was jam packed and there were some 300 of them waiting for the show to commence. They did not still know of how lucky they were and what was in store for them. They each were gifted far, far more than a turkey to take home. Rather, the gifts that were handed out were way beyond their imagination.

Some of the lucky ones in the audience were given away a 2012 VW Beetle. This is one swanky and hell of a car that hasn’t even been launched in the market. Imagine being in possession of a car of this magnitude without having to pay a dime for it. But, wait did you say not having to pay a dime for it. Then, wait as the people who were so fascinated by this completely free gift will have to end up paying a huge amount of tax in the year 2012 when they file their tax returns.

If you were one of the people who weren’t quite satisfied with the design of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG released this year, you might just love the latest Vorsteiner V6E Aero Package. According to the German tuning company, the new kit includes a brand new front hip spoiler and redesigned side sills, rear bumpers, and a new exhaust system. There is still scarce information about the car, but more will be revealed once it’s unveiled.

In case you don’t know yet, the standard E63 AMG car received a hand-crafted 6.2-L V8 engine. This engine can generate up to 518bhp of power and a peak torque of 465 pound-feet. Mated with a seven-speed MCT 2-clutch transmission, the sedan is able to accelerate from zero to 60mph in just 4.1 seconds. That’s a pretty impressive sprint in this segment. The top speed is electronically limited to 155mph.
