Car Today

Five debuts in two halls. The best-seller, the flagship, un’ibrida, an unspecified classified SUV and a sports over the next three months the universe Bmw rotate around the salons of Paris and Los Angeles, making fertile ground for the renewal of the substantial range. What’s Audi, for now, not impensieriscono.

The exhibition in Paris will mark the debut Series 3 ristilizzata and the new 7 Series, accompanied by his version ActiveHybrid twin engines. Rubasguardi and future rubacuori will be the X1, this form of a concept car but with few extravagance by exhibition: its appearance is not dissimilar from the version of the series, pending forwarded to 2009. In the City of Angels, finally, will be presented the new spider compact, heir “spiritual” Z4: tin roof (optional) and diesel engines will mark the farewell to fanciullesca carelessness.

“In the short term the U.S. are not a priority for us, but it is not a return overseas with the right product.” This is what I stated yesterday by Gary Hagen, director of marketing MG, at the site Austin Rover Online. The fans Americans of small British spiders are so condemned once again to wait and sospirare for the return of MG.

During this month the meantime, the production of a small number of 500 TF began at the historic Longbridge factory English, obviously under the aegis of the new car Chinese owners of SAIC-Nanjing. This small stocks is only a starter for the return of real model, which will follow in the coming years the new TF brand, which will mark the return of the glorious final home among manufacturers that count.

Via.

Tuning and lightness: a relationship of mutual distrust, skepticism, small expectation. In anniversaries, however, it was all agree: and then, happy birthday Elise. Even Project Kahn wants to bring greetings on with gifts. Mamma Lotus looks and consents. On the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary dell’inglesina, the tuner wanted omaggiarla designing a specific package.

Nothing transcendental: substance, in pure style Kahn. And here appear as a front splitter, bandelle sottoporta side and spoiler on the back, looking alloy 19-inch and improvements inside, with more seating sections and logos scattered everywhere. And then, sacrilege not entitlement, unloading Sports and adjustable suspensions.

They really decided to make the big step, or the hypnotic power of spoiler roll bar and dissolve as a cloud of steam? Motorauthority be on the safe side: this is the RS version. Certainty (almost) absolute, no doubt: the restyling of the Porsche Boxster and Cayman is an opportunity too for not achieving progress version incattivita.

The introductions of VarioCam Plus system and exchange rate double clutch PDK, in addition, of course, for some targeted interventions aesthetic, serving as prelude, so as to maximize the contribution provided by the new components. Yet we do not believe can suffice wing larger and a more defined extractor to declare war on 911.

And ‘now certain that Volkswagen is preparing for the colpaccio salon in Los Angeles, where he presented a very realistic concept for its next-coupe motor sports roadster Central. A confirmation of entries about a close relationship with future cousins Audi A4 and Porsche Cayman new generations, we discover that the casing is an aluminum space frame.

According to the latest indiscretions Volkswagen will present a car ultralight fact, inspired by the Lotus Elise and powered by 2.0 TFSI 211Cv or a 2.0 TDI with double charge by 204Cv. Precisely this second hypothesis would be the most impressive, since now diesel engines have reached everywhere, even on cars performance decidedly sports, but without yet winning a space car from pure fun, especially after the cancellation of “mad” Audi R8 V12 TDI.

This image shows preview the restyling involving the MX5 in 2010. It ‘obvious that this is just a light touch, without upsetting proportions and guidelines of a model of success, which simply closer to the other models list. E ‘confirmed that she will not be running style Nagare between models series.

Here then a new front with the air like the Mazda 3 and wheel more obvious style RX8. Ready to debut in early 2009, the MX5 so arrive at the end of its life cycle in 2012, when it is replaced by a totally new model, postponed in order to study the launch even a version coupe.

And eccola here. After much talk, come the first spy photos of version discovery of R8. And what you see in the pictures is a lot like the reconstruction we have shown a few days ago: the super car of the four rings in fact seems to finally lose the “sideblade” side and buy a retractable roof on canvas. At a first glance the car appears to take the body with a plaque.

The production of Mercedes-McLaren SLR end in 2009. But the house of star has its good to be done to offset the poor sales figures of the prestigious model. However, the arrival of new versions “722″ traghettera the SLR toward the final retirement, while maintaining high light of the spotlight on the car in an attempt to achieve some number more. Thus, after the SLR 722 Edition, the 722 GT, the 722 Roadster will arrive and, as swan song, the SLR Speedster, which is currently in the process of completion.
