Car Today

From outside not say anything, but inside you wonder (in its small, clearly) for the space available. We are talking about the first anti-Smart of history, that curious and original Toyota iQ we’ll see for the first time in a series of October 2, at the Paris 2008.

What struck editors edmunds invited to a confidential event in Japan, was the originality of concept, that are perhaps the innovative charge shown by the revolutionary Smart at the time of his debut. In their view, it will be “a new milestone for the utility in the coming years.”

The Japanese house, for its part does not hide his pride in “the car in four places smallest in the world”, before fellow Americans. Okay, all true-concludes edmunds-but it may consider a four places only on condition that the fourth occupant is a dwarf or a baby…

Via.

We already know Chris Harris for his video with Auto Car and now he was involved in new project. For Driver’s Republic presents us with the Morgan Aeromax, a coupe in limited series that makes its time line without the weapon to attract fans from all over the world.

The performances are first class, Harris remains especially surprised by brakes, steering and trim, worthy of a car from competition and perhaps too “extreme” compared to the issue of Aeromax and his vocation by Granturismo. The sound of Origin BMW V8, coupled to ZF automatic gearbox to 6 reports, does the rest.

Eight dark cylinders occupy a saloon “pure”. This is the Vauxhall VRX8: when evil subdues good. The latest version, moreover, associates a ghigno even more diabolical car to a body already demonic: on the previous VRX8, change the propeller - abandons the LS2 from 6.0 liters to embrace the new LS3 of 6, 2 - and more power, are made available white circles alloy 20-inch and a reservoir for additional oil devoted to automatic transmission.

They like to hear from Auto car test of the casing is “exactly as it expects” the tension and keeping cornering are never lacking, even in conditions of wet asphalt. Even stuzzicando its 425 horses - 14 more than the 6.0 - with taps brake center curve, the rear scodinzola peaceful and always in a gradual manner.

A behavior accentuated by over 1800 kilos of weight. Clearly, the tonnage port in dowry sportiness and comfort - the interior is comfortable and spacious - and not a dynamic behaviour from lightweight. In this regard, the magazine points out that English is not good enough while the propeller to launch the glove of challenge to M and Amg.

Time of first test drive for the flagship BMW home. The latest chat series 7 (pictured 740th of a pre-series reserved for the press) will arrive on the market in the coming months with an important load of technologies and solutions designed to maximize the pleasure of driving. Some major newspapers have had the opportunity to try on test-track BMW Miramas.

The first comparison made by Auto Express is the most spiazzante: be strong as a Maserati GranTurismo S while costing 90000 Pounds (nearly 115000 Euro) less. It is true, are two opposite worlds, two different entities, but we are still faced with 425 horses offered at a price of balance - about 26000 euros if it complied with the American list. Yet the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 has given very little: rather use a different verb, not least because it is still a muscle-car.

The weight, in fact, share hovers near 2000 kilograms, while the automatic gearbox is anything but a lightning war. The elettrroattuato Superfast, looking, could ridersela taste. But can also be convenient for five occupants, balanced even more tortuous on European roads and well from Brembo brakes.

“Mancio (the real)”, a frequent assiduous community Autoblog, had the opportunity to experience a fascinating and exclusive as the Mercedes-McLaren SLR roadster and has kindly provided us your impressions about driving this extraordinary masterpiece mechanical , Which already another our friend, Michael G., had “tested” for us.

“An exemplary palladium grey with biscuit interior finishes and carbon. With this color is wonderful, fantastic, wonderful. The convenevoli are doverosi when trying car of this calibre, el’addetto the dealership speaks to me of the car in the smallest details until it reaches the fateful moment of proof. Open the door butterfly and dive without strange contorsionismi the passenger is already a strong feeling per se; interiors are fabulous, comfortable, refined to perfection with an aroma of high-quality leather and with everything necessary for a car of this level. And they also understand that the weight saving was not certain a fundamental point in the design. After that I proudly showed the powerful V8 AMG: wonderful.

Vedendola live, the car is another effect that in the photos: musone with that long and aggressive find it just perfect. A note goes to the implementation of cappottina Canvas is built in the same fabric beautiful to the touch but rigid at the same time already seen on the concept Ocean Drive.

It’s called 8C is I believe it is simply the most beautiful car ever made. While esordendo with these words Jeremy Clark son, when testing of Italian super car has much to fault about the dynamics driving the vehicle despite its high speed performance and the accompanying technical and structural high level, the most sporting of Alfa does not keep promises dynamics that his appearance leaves presage.

Its weight distribution, its low center of gravity and the rear differential self fail to ensure an accurate guide to the aesthetics and the fantastic sound of the engine. Terrible this is the chilling expression that the host of Top Gear uses to describe the handling of 8C. The steering seem woody and the department suspension too subject to roll. Clarkson lacks accanirsi not even against the positioning of pedals.

Nothing worse than wanting to look young and beautiful at all costs to improve their appearance with invasive methods causes only ironies. And even the presence of 1100 new components can change the situation the legacy of the old Sports Coupe is still very evident. Auto Express rests his hands on the wheel of the Mercedes Clc, like coupe derived from the previous Class C two volumes.

The external appearance, strangely, is appreciated despite a side old style, breaking compared with sharp lines and front of the queue, his look receives some timid appreciation for the balance. Tutt’altra music to the inside, too similar to the W203 and constructed with plastic low quality compared to recent models.
