Spy Shots: The 2009 Ducati Monster 1100

Here they are, the world’s first pictures of the 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 that only recently hit the internet. We all knew Ducati wouldn’t go too long without updating it’s Monster line, and now here it is.

It looks like the bike keeps its dry-clutch, and the instrumentation is digital just like the 690cc. The 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 is basically a 696 with the 1100CC DS engine installed. But compared to the 696, the air-cooled 1100 offers 15 more horsepower (95bhp) and 26 more lb/ft of torque (76lb/ft). Check out all 3 full-sized spy shots after the jump.

It also sports Y-spoke wheels and a single sided swingarm from the Ducati Hypermotard. Radial front brake and clutch reservoirs, and maybe improved Brembo radial mount brakes would mean massive stopping power. Expect the Monster 1100 to be officially unveiled at the 2008 EICMA show in November.

Meet the 2009 Jaguar XF-R. If you’re looking at the rear of the XF-R, you’ll be following a subtle lip spoiler on the bootlid, chunky quad pipes and we’d guess lurking under that white plastic disguise is a discrete diffuser. There is also a new design of alloy wheel reserved just for R models. Even standard cars can be specced with 20-inch wheels, so big rims are a must for the XF-R.

2010 Buick LaCrosse

The Buick LaCrosse in camo was caught on public roads. The next-gen LaCrosse shares its Epsilon II (the Malibu is an extended Epsilon, not Epsilon II) underpinnings with the critically acclaimed Chevy Malibu, the interior will be very similar as well. Close inspection of the pics shows some similar dash characteristics between the two models, though the ‘Bu is all about the curves while the Buick is more strait-laced. Seats in the preproduction LaCrosse are two-toned much like that of the up-level Malibu, but the two appear to have a different basic shape.
