<a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Nissan has begun testing the next-generation Qashqai compact crossover in Southern Spain.
<br />
<br />
Spied here in test mule form, the altered prototypes give very little away about the exterior styling. Extended wheelarches and a slightly longer wheelbase hint at a repackaged interior, which will offer more cabin space.
The current model’s dashboard materials and quality will be address with softer, more upmarket materials. <br />

<a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai16.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Although powertrains have yet to be announced, a new turbocharged engine may be offered. The current naturally-aspirated 1.6 litre petrol is likely to be replaced with a Renault-sourced 1.2 TCe, while a 1.6 dCi, 2.0 dCi, and 2.0 litre petrol with various power outputs will also be available.
These will be paired to a manual, automatic, and CVT transmissions that will power the front-wheels, although four-wheel-drive models will be offered. <br />
<br />
Some production for the new Qashqai will transfer from Sunderland, England to Saint Petersburg, Russia from 2014 to avoid import tariffs and to free assembly space for the revised Leaf electric vehicle, due in 2013. Japanese production will cater for global markets, like Australia, Middle East, South Africa, Mexico, and China.
<br />

<a href="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb132/Kamar_A/Cars%201/2014NissanQashqai10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Last year, the Sunderland plant produced 301,277 Qashqais running three shifts at maximum capacity, becoming Nissan's best-selling car in Europe with volume of 216,970 units, up 1.3% from the year before, according to JATO Dynamics. <br />
<br />
A long wheelbase, seven-seat Qashqai+2 will arrive later, alongside a possible performance-orientated model. <br />
<br />
The new Qashqai will launch in Spring 2014, priced from around £17,000.

The first official image of the 2013 Jaguar <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/07/2013-jaguar-xe-caught-in-death-valley.html">F-Type</a> roadster has leaked onto the web via a well-known spy photographer, ahead of its world debut at the upcoming Paris motor show. <br />
<br />
Posted by Chris Doane on <em>Facebook</em>, the low-resolution image reveals that the compact executive sports car will be heavily influenced by last year’s <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/08/teaser-jaguar-c-x16-concept.html">C-X16</a> concept. <br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
The <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/07/2013-jaguar-xe-caught-in-death-valley.html">F-Type</a> will feature LED daytime running lights, an oval grille, numerous air intakes, and a ventilated clamshell bonnet.
The side profile boasts exceptionally large alloy wheels, wheelarch vents, and flush-fitting pop-out door handles.
<br />
<br />
Although no images of the rear have surfaced, a short overhang lends a cab-back stance. The cabin is likely to be inspired by the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/08/teaser-jaguar-c-x16-concept.html">C-X16</a> concept, and we can see that sports seats and rollover bars will feature.
<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/07/2013-jaguar-xe-caught-in-death-valley.html">F-Type</a> is based on a shortened version of the XK’s all aluminium unibody platform, but will be tuned for a greater driver focus.
<br />
<br />
The newcomer will be sized between the Porsche Boxster and Porsche 911 and priced between them, too. A starting price tag of around £55,000 has been suggested.
<br />
<br />
Power will come from a line-up of petrol engines, which includes a supercharged 3.0 litre V6 with two outputs of 335bhp (340PS/250kW) and 450Nm (332lb-ft) of torque and 375bhp (380PS/279kW) and 460Nm (339lb-ft) of torque.
<br />
<br />
A supercharged 5.0 litre V8 will also be offered and will produce between 503bhp (510PS/375kW) and 542bhp (550PS/405kW).
<br />
<br />
While the convertible will launch in Spring 2013, the coupé will launch in late 2013.Lagunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756399047874974400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160455.post-13276247699438128462012-09-10T09:50:00.008+01:002012-09-20T16:07:24.689+01:00Spied: 2014 Lexus IS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next-generation Lexus <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/04/spied-2014-lexus-is.html">IS</a> sedan has been spied undergoing chassis testing in the United States. <br />
<br />
Finally hitting prototype stage, the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/04/spied-2014-lexus-is.html">IS</a> will boast Lexus’ new design language, which will include the eye-catching ‘spindle’ grille.
An F-Sport variant is almost certain, which include cosmetic highlights such as larger alloy wheels, F-Sport emblems, and more aggressive fascia’s.<br />

Powertrains remain a mystery for the third-generation <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/04/spied-2014-lexus-is.html">IS</a>, but we can safely assume a petrol-electric hybrid will later join the range. A hydrogen fuel-cell model is also currently being tested and may also be offered.
<br />
<br />
The sedan will eventually be joined by a coupé-convertible and an <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/04/spied-2014-lexus-is.html">IS-F</a> performance model. A station wagon model remains a distinct possibility.
<br />
<br />
The front-wheel-drive compact executive will launch ahead of mid-2013, for the 2014 model year.
<br />
<br />
The outgoing <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/04/spied-2014-lexus-is.html">IS</a> hit the market in 2005 and received minor updates ever since. During the same period, German rivals Mercedes and BMW launched the revised C-Class and all-new F30 3-Series.

<br />
Deliveries have slowed in 2012 with last month sales falling by 50% to 685 units. Year-to-date sales have also dipped 31.5% to 4,228 units. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
If Nissan sticks to its original sales target, the Japanese firm would have to sell 4,000 units per month for the remainder of the year. <br />
<br />
Although Nissan acknowledges “sales to date have not met our expectations”, it remains positive about the future of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/renault-expects-zoe-to-outsell-nissan.html">Leaf</a> in the U.S market. <br />
<br />
“We had a significant increase in <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/renault-expects-zoe-to-outsell-nissan.html">Leaf</a> sales in August over the prior months and we are moving in the right direction,” Nissan spokesman David Reuter told <em>The Detroit News</em>. <br />
<br />
“Our actions to widen availability, train dealers and broaden exposure for <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/renault-expects-zoe-to-outsell-nissan.html">Leaf</a> are yielding some positive results and move us closer to meeting our high expectations for the vehicle.” Lagunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756399047874974400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160455.post-38419970057337356562012-09-04T11:25:00.013+01:002012-09-13T11:07:36.991+01:00Spied: 2013 Ford Transit Connect <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZWOEoiqsxqIjIvGpr1oGyBWIagG2gBEeLdy1sTcWrTg93yxldN4fUU-_B1qOho4PqCAFasLf-6uDKD5jPBWFA6O0b9o-XppkcWi0Ew96EFJjw08Qn6YFhVrTJxZu8R4h8GOrLg/s1600/2013+Ford+Transit+Connect+1.1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZWOEoiqsxqIjIvGpr1oGyBWIagG2gBEeLdy1sTcWrTg93yxldN4fUU-_B1qOho4PqCAFasLf-6uDKD5jPBWFA6O0b9o-XppkcWi0Ew96EFJjw08Qn6YFhVrTJxZu8R4h8GOrLg/s320/2013+Ford+Transit+Connect+1.1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/leaked-2013-ford-transit-connect.html">Ford Transit Connect</a> compact commercial van has been spied for the very first time, undergoing chassis testing in Austria. <br />
<br />
Draped in thick disguise, it’s clear to see that the prototype is sporting a car-like design. Although the test car features a roof-hinged tailgate, a pair of side-hinged doors will be offered. <br />

<br />
Although technical details remain scares, European models will be powered by turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with U.S models powered solely by petrol engines. For the record, the outgoing model has been in production since 2002. <br />
<br />
We expect the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/leaked-2013-ford-transit-connect.html">Transit Connect</a> to premiere at the Paris motor show in September.<br />

The German manufacture has teased the design language and the shape of the newcomer, known internally as the W222, with a relief-like sculpture titled “Aesthetics S”. <br />
<br />
“The sculpture highlights the artistic aspects of design,” explains Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz Cars. “With the design and proportions of “Aesthetics S”, we are communicating a modern sense of status, sensual shapes and stylish sportiness.” <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Wagner continues to say that the design elements of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-mercedes-benz-s-class.html">S-Class</a>, which in these images of the sculpture, include two pronounced, swoopy creases running across the sides of the car, will find their way across the marque’s future lineup. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigR-9Dti3nGiy4GeYiwm70JhJq2e88TBmMTxrFXD_PIth9HOV2ujBpG9xEnzpTiMeTx22HewmgSaG3bTs-N94GtJ0PiDIocca8CdiAZvSyuMIIoXF9k6A11mX2KciDbxyTWhcJNg/s1600/2014+Mercedes+S-Class+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigR-9Dti3nGiy4GeYiwm70JhJq2e88TBmMTxrFXD_PIth9HOV2ujBpG9xEnzpTiMeTx22HewmgSaG3bTs-N94GtJ0PiDIocca8CdiAZvSyuMIIoXF9k6A11mX2KciDbxyTWhcJNg/s320/2014+Mercedes+S-Class+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>“The characteristic lines of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-mercedes-benz-s-class.html">S-Class</a> have always represented the expression of automotive culture, as we understand it,” said Wagner. “The new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-mercedes-benz-s-class.html">S-Class</a> will continue this tradition and, with its striking lines, will put a face to our design philosophy over the coming years.” <br />
<br />
Engine options are expected to mirror the current model, albeit with some updates and tweaks that will improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions. These should include a 250 CDI, a S350 CDI, a S300 BlueTec diesel-hybrid, a S400 BlueTec petrol-hybrid, the S500 (aka S550), S600, S63 AMG and S65 AMG. <br />
<br />
Unconfirmed reports hint that Mercedes wants a host of hybrid variants, including a plug-in hybrid S500 Vision Concept that is powered by a 3.0 litre V6 petrol and a 60PS (44kW) electric motor. This allows for a combined fuel economy figure of 78mpg (3.0l/100km). <br />

The current forward radar system will also be modified to allow the debut of Magic Ride Control, a damping system that Mercedes anticipates will reduce body movement by 50%, in addition to the system being able to see vulnerable pedestrians. A low-speed adaptive cruise control that overtakes the steering in certain situations will also feature. <br />
<br />
Reports suggest that one of the most important technological breakthroughs will be a nine-speed sequential automatic gearbox called 9G-Tronic. <br />
<br />
The nine-speed box was developed as a successor to the existing seven-speed unit and is said to greatly improve fuel efficiency and to help give a smooth and quiet ride. <br />
<br />

It will be adaptable to just about every kind of drivetrain ranging and will be used in both rear- and all-wheel drive models, and even the hybrid variant is expected to be equipped with it. <br />
<br />
After debuting in the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-mercedes-benz-s-class.html">S-Class</a>, the nine-speed gearbox will likely trickle down to other members of the Mercedes-Benz lineup.<br />
<br />
Following the unveiling of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-mercedes-benz-s-class.html">S-Class</a> sedan, we expect a long-wheelbase sedan and a coupé to launch later. These will also be joined by a cabriolet and a pair of ultra-luxurious Pullman models that replaces the Maybach brand.<br />

A second, updated study was unveiled as the L1 back in 2009, and then last year, the diesel-powered <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/03/spied-2013-volkswagen-xl1.html">XL1</a> concept was unveiled at the 2011 Qatar motor show. <br />
<br />
Inside, we have an orthodox cabin layout - the previous projects showed a tandem seating layout – with standard HVAC controls plainly visible on the centre stack. A large LCD screen is present, but it remains unknown whether it is production specification or a testing instrument. To overcome obvious blind spots, the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/03/spied-2013-volkswagen-xl1.html">XL1</a> will come fitted with external video cameras, as early prototypes were spied testing with conventional door mirrors. <br />

</tbody></table>To aid fuel-efficiency, around 23% of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/03/spied-2013-volkswagen-xl1.html">XL1</a> will be made up of steel with the other 77% made up of special materials, like carbon fibre. This will allow the production car to mirror the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/03/spied-2013-volkswagen-xl1.html">XL1</a> concept’s kerb-weight of 795kg (1,750lbs). <br />
<br />
Forward-momentum comes from a turbocharged two-cylinder 800cc diesel unit, which produces 47bhp (50PS/35kW) and is mated to a 7-speed DSG double clutch gearbox. An electric motor that delivers 27bhp (30PS/20kW) is added in to the mix and can run on electricity or work together with the diesel unit. <br />
<br />
A low kerb-weight, thin tyres, and a diesel-hybrid system should allow a fuel efficiency figure of 0.9 litres per 100km (310mpg/260mpg U.S) and CO2 emissions of 24g/km. On the performance side, the XL1 will reach 62mph (100km/h) in 11.9 seconds before topping out at 100mph (160km/h). <br />
<br />
The Volkswagen <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/03/spied-2013-volkswagen-xl1.html">XL1</a> is expected to hit the market in 2013 for a limited production run, so expect very high list prices. <br />

<br />
Although the compact sedan boasts extensive camouflage all round, it’s evident that the larger Avalon will influence styling. Beneath the disguise, a large air intake, xenon headlights, chrome highlights, projector fog lights, and LED rear lights will lend the next <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Corolla</a> sedan an upmarket image. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Overall measurements of this prototype suggest the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Corolla</a>, codenamed E170, will be larger than its successor, with notable cues including a steeply sloping bonnet and a shorter bootlid. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdo67WeLjmU87EQzur5RJ9Ow0ybhHcjzCJ3yheVA3gZdJ7o7S0mkP4pB9b81lT8Fz0zuMh30Y1CXVnTWXIp5Ebgu1qt-CN55cu-McY-GIoJp9OIoO1yGqgfFHsAs9X8bIjQuK5XQ/s1600/2014+Toyota+Corolla+sedan+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdo67WeLjmU87EQzur5RJ9Ow0ybhHcjzCJ3yheVA3gZdJ7o7S0mkP4pB9b81lT8Fz0zuMh30Y1CXVnTWXIp5Ebgu1qt-CN55cu-McY-GIoJp9OIoO1yGqgfFHsAs9X8bIjQuK5XQ/s320/2014+Toyota+Corolla+sedan+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The cabin reveals a multi-function steering wheel and chrome-ringed instruments. These items, alongside a dashboard that uses upgraded materials will allow the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Corolla</a> to become more competitive. <br />
<br />
The bonnet will house a revised 1.8 litre, four-cylinder petrol engine which will produce around 150bhp (112kW/152PS). Other petrol units will include an upgraded 1.3 litre, 1.5 litre, and 1.6 litre engines and a pair of turbocharged diesel engines, which will be available in Europe. These units will be mated to a 5-speed, 6-speed manual, 6-speed Multimode sequential gearbox, or a CVT transmission that replaces the archaic four-speed automatic. Power will be transferred to the front-wheels, although Japanese customers will be given an all-wheel-drive option. <br />

<br />
Production of the twelfth-generation <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Corolla</a> sedan will start during the second-quarter of 2013 in the twenty locations across the world. A year later should see a hatchback variant, possibly the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Auris</a> hatchback, replace the current Matrix. A station wagon variant will be offered in both Europe and Japan, called the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-toyota-auris-tourer.html">Auris Sport Tourer</a> and <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/08/video-cheeky-toyota-releases.html">Corolla</a> Fielder. <br />
<br />
Toyota began production of the Corolla back in 1966, where early models were rear-wheel-drive.<br />

<br />
You see the commercial stars the new Auris, which will appear at next month's Paris Motor Show in both regular and Hybrid forms, and an unnamed androgynous fashion model from Israel. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The 19-year old male model with feminine qualities poses around the five-door hatchback and simultaneously we see a tagline saying, “NOT IN TREND, NOT CASUAL, NOT FOR EVERYONE, NOT AUTHORITY, BUT AURIS”. <br />
<br />
While we’re unsure of what the actual concept of the advert is, the Auris is far from bold and daring judging by the video. <br />

<br />
Moderately disguised, the prototype boasts an evolution in Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design language and will be largerall-round than the outgoing model. <br />

The fascia has been updated with larger air intakes on the bumper, new bonnet, and bigger sweptback headlights. Upon closer inspection, the indicators have moved from the headlight cluster and onto the door mirrors. <br />

Although the upswept windowline has been retained, the side profile is cleaner, lending a sportier appearance and will lead to a sharper rear end with more stylish tail-lights and a larger tailgate. <br />
<br />
The rear bumper appears to be more sculpted and houses a foglight and reflectors. Though under camouflage, the dashboard will be more visually appealing and will be constructed with higher-grade materials. <br />

Based on a heavily revised platform of the current i10, powerplants and transmissions are expected to be carried over, albeit with more power and lower running costs. The line-up will include two variants of the three-cylinder 1.0 litre; an economy-focused Blue model and a LPG/petrol hybrid, and the sophisticated 1.2 litre Kappa engine. A diesel engine isn’t expected, though a new turbocharged 1.2 T-GDi may be offered later. <br />
<br />
Production of European models will transfer from Chennai, India to either Turkey or Czech Republic. The new Hyundai i10 will go on sale in late 2013, with prices starting from around £9,500. <br />

<br />
The incident took place on Saturday evening in Woodside, California when the owner noticed his vehicle was burning. According to the Woodside Fire Department, he immediately called the car manufacture who told the owner of the Karma to call 911. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Although no details regarding the cause of the fire have come to light, <i>Jalopnik</i> posted photos of the car, which suffered severe damages to the front-left corner. Fortunately nobody was hurt during the event, but by the time the fire crews arrived to the scene, the Karma was mostly destroyed. <br />
<br />
Initial reports suggest that the exhaust pipes, located behind the front wheels, overheated due to improper cooling and poor packaging. <br />
<br />
The first Karma to burn was back in May which caused a house fire in Houston, Texas. Towards the end of 2011, Fisker issued a recall to correct a potential fire hazard related to the incorrect positioning of hose clamps that could cause a coolant leak. The recall affected 239 cars, with more cars recalled in June. <br />
<br />
Fisker issued a statement: <br />
<br />
“We have confidence in the Fisker Karma. Safety is our primary concern and our Fisker staff have been in contact with the customer and are investigating the cause. We are also employing an independent fire investigation representative to assist in the root cause analysis. A further statement will be issued once the root cause has been determined.”<br />

<br />
The V12 Z3 roadster used BMW's M73 5.4 litre V12 engine from the E38 750i/iL sedans and E38 850Ci coupé of the mid-1990s to early 2000s. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The mammoth engine was rated at 326bhp (330PS/243kW) at 5,000 rpm and 490Nm (361lb-ft) at 3,900 rpm, and was linked to a six speed manual gearbox that drove the rear wheels. <br />
<br />
Matthew Russell, Product and Technology Communications Manager for BMW North America said to an American media outlet: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUT1dvA8VBh97hd3ucX67G1ulxXnhQQrpFCsL3JDXnGpi4XBdFlIQ5ph_Yd3xCYXjtIJv9tk9Nn6GMxza6lQ0UqHwOTTuRdVySH_W-azZM5MqVD8fh1veetpw1VfTjDOk9P-67yg/s1600/1999+BMW+Z3+V12+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUT1dvA8VBh97hd3ucX67G1ulxXnhQQrpFCsL3JDXnGpi4XBdFlIQ5ph_Yd3xCYXjtIJv9tk9Nn6GMxza6lQ0UqHwOTTuRdVySH_W-azZM5MqVD8fh1veetpw1VfTjDOk9P-67yg/s320/1999+BMW+Z3+V12+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
“The car was built in 1999 and was the proof that all engine sizes of the time fit in the roadster,” said Russell. “It was shown only once: in August 1999 to the German car magazine <em>Autozeitung</em>.” <br />
<br />
According to the 1999 article from <em>Autozeitung</em>, the Z3 M V12 was able to accelerate from standstill to 62mph (100km/h) in 5.5 seconds and had a top speed of 163mph (263 km/h). <br />
<br />
The German magazine added that the study was fitted with 17” wheels in 225/45 tyres up front and 245/40 at the back and that tipped the scales at a weighty 1,400kg (3,086lbs). <br />
<br />
Furthermore, it apparently took three engineers three months to convert the vehicle. The engineers made numerous revisions to the Z3 V12, including modifying the radiator, oil pump, oil pan, and exhaust manifold. <br />

<br />
In a cheeky and fun way to channel his frustration, the motorist in one car spills water over the windscreen of the following car. In retaliation, the driver of the following car jumps out of his vehicle to merely pop open the bootlid of the car ahead. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
No violence, abuse, or anger here, just a cheekier way of dealing with road rage. If you’re prone to getting hot-tempered behind the wheel, try it out!<br />

<br />
In the following video, a young woman decided to cross the road without looking around. At the same time, a Toyota Land Cruiser is rolling down the road at low speed and doesn’t see the woman until the last minute, in which the driver applies the brakes and knocks over the pedestrian. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Although the woman doesn’t appear to be injured, who’s to blame here? The possibly distracted Toyota driver, the pedestrian, or both? One assumption could be that the young woman disappeared into the driver’s A-pillar blindspot and didn’t see the woman until a few feet away and another could be that this maybe an insurance scam. <br />

Not only is it creative but it also marks a departure from the usual palaver associated with dash-cam videos. <br />
<br />
The story starts with two Toyotas driving through the city traffic in two separate lanes, which eventually merges into one. A stubborn Toyota Avensis hatchback driver refused to allow an equally stubborn Land Cruiser driver into the lane. Following numerous attempts, the frustrated driver of the Land Cruiser overtakes the Avensis and drives off down the road like a douché before coming to a stop on the side of the road. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Waiting for the Avensis to pass-by, the Land Cruiser speeds through the deep puddles and drowns the mid-sized hatchback (and another car on the opposite lane) with muddy water. <br />
<br />
Furious at the incident, the Avensis is seen speeding off chasing the Land Cruiser, but unfortunately, the dash-cam vehicle doesn’t go after them – it would have been interesting to see how this story concluded. <br />
<br />
Revenge is a dish best served wet and cold!<br />

<br />
A total of 143,884 new cars were registered, making July the best month for sales this year and represents the fifth monthly gain. Last year, year-on-year figures totalled 131,634, following the industry’s 13th consecutive monthly decline in volumes. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
This year, new car sales in the first seven months are up by 3.5% to 1,201,564 units compared with 2011. With the flexible market, the SMMT has revised its 2012 sales forecast from 1.94m to 1.97m. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkk4RYzkmPk0Q2X6KwDLT4LAtDdCRzS4sWrwa0bt4QXGv3ztojbIvrHyyklXaplYgfXtm5hI2JxvRKdMnXg7UHR4iVZFmfJGjP3xHvkWRK4qOIi9jZ1TYL3yOcCieTZw_UCk86w/s1600/UK+car+sales+table+for+July.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="127" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkk4RYzkmPk0Q2X6KwDLT4LAtDdCRzS4sWrwa0bt4QXGv3ztojbIvrHyyklXaplYgfXtm5hI2JxvRKdMnXg7UHR4iVZFmfJGjP3xHvkWRK4qOIi9jZ1TYL3yOcCieTZw_UCk86w/s320/UK+car+sales+table+for+July.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />
“New car registrations rose 9.3 per cent in July, continuing the upward trend seen during recent months. The SMMT’s full-year forecast is for 1.97 million cars to be registered during 2012, suggesting a slight slowing of demand in the second half of the year,” according to SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt. <br />
<br />
“International economic stability remains a concern for vehicle manufacturers and the UK market, but intense competition and new fuel-efficient products are creating great opportunities for motorists,” said Everitt. It should be noted that the UK is currently in a double-dip recession, meaning the figures are falsely inflated by dealers registering cars to themselves. <br />
<br />
Figures also reveal that there was a 45.9% increase of alternatively fuelled vehicles compared with July 2011. Last month, 2,079 AFVs were sold, compared with 1,425 in July last year.Lagunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756399047874974400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160455.post-57495408470243924132012-08-06T10:45:00.021+01:002012-08-11T12:27:30.332+01:00Teaser: 2013 Hyundai HB20<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zsaIHEwIqmL_iAphB7UFVkd5uvUVG7WTg9ntWuFUSVtTiY-Y0ZCqv7teiqDThEkUo1dGfgThFr0X4JtQ6AVCpJxjrTJatIcSPLrk7djcAuP3ZIKIsNBE1jwghoOW-euSgXvTyQ/s1600/2013+Hyundai+HB20+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3zsaIHEwIqmL_iAphB7UFVkd5uvUVG7WTg9ntWuFUSVtTiY-Y0ZCqv7teiqDThEkUo1dGfgThFr0X4JtQ6AVCpJxjrTJatIcSPLrk7djcAuP3ZIKIsNBE1jwghoOW-euSgXvTyQ/s320/2013+Hyundai+HB20+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Hyundai has released a few teaser images of their upcoming HB20 supermini, denoting “Hyundai Brazil” with the ‘20’ being a reference to the European-market i20 upon which it is based. <br />
<br />
Judging by the images and video, the HB20 differs to the i20 with a sleek, dynamic and curvaceous bodyshell compared to the conservative i20. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The hatchback will be powered by a pair of 4-cylinder, petrol/ethanol engines; an entry 63kW (85bhp/86PS) 1.0 litre and a more powerful 96kW (130bhp/132PS) 1.6 litre unit. Both engines will be mated to either a manual or automatic transmission, driving the front-wheels. <br />
<br />
The HB20 goes on sale in October and will eventually spawn a pair of HB-badged sedan and SUV models.<br />

<br />
Previewed in the pair of teaser images, the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a> will be visually bolder than its predecessors and more upscale. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The sketches reveal that the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a> will effectively be a larger version of the Cee’d. Under Kia’s design chief Peter Schreyer, the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a> has been designed around a “dynamic space” theme. <br />

It gets a much lower roofline than the current car, alongside a sleek profile and glasshouse, cab-forward design, strong beltline, sculpted side profile, and large alloys. <br />
<br />
The new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a>/<a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Rondo</a> will launch with two wheelbases; short and long, offering both five and seven seats configurations – the latter to replace the ill-fated Sedona. <br />
<br />
It will underpin the recently-launched Hyundai i30 and Kia Cee'd, meaning powertrains and transmissions will be carried over, which will be mated to either manual, automatic, or dual-clutch transmissions. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a> will compete with the Ford C-Max, Chevrolet Orlando, Peugeot 5008, Citroën <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/06/spied-2013-citroen-c4-picasso.html">C4 Picasso</a>, Vauxhall/Opel Zafira, Fiat <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2011/04/fiat-freemont-pricing-announced-it.html">Freemont</a>, and the Dacia Lodgy. <br />
<br />
The new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/02/spied-2013-kia-carensrondo-and-hyundai.html">Carens</a> will launch in September and will go on sale during Spring 2013. <br />

<br />
Based on the <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/03/30/fiat-scheduling-four-wheel-drive-500l/">Punto</a> platform, which dates back to 2005, the <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/03/30/fiat-scheduling-four-wheel-drive-500l/">500L</a> is available in four trim-levels, with three different powertrain options, two transmissions, and numerous options. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>At 4,100mm long, 1,784mm wide, 1,665mm tall, and with a 2,612mm wheelbase, the <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/03/30/fiat-scheduling-four-wheel-drive-500l/">500L</a> has a plausible 400 litres of luggage capacity behind the rear seats. <br />

Thanks to the ‘Fold&Tumble’ function, it’s possible to completely tilt the rear seat forwards to get a totally flat load compartment. <br />
<br />
The four grades, Pop, Pop Star, Easy and Lounge, are well-equipped but can be outfitted with numerous options. <br />

Pininfarina, honorary chairman of the Pininfarina Group, ran an automotive design house of the same name and is credited with some of the most iconic automotive designs over the last 50 years. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Pininfarina began his career in 1950 and became general manager ten years later. Following his father’s demise in 1966, he took over the chairmanship of the company. <br />
<br />
He supervised numerous collaborations with Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat, Maserati, Vauxhall and Peugeot. More recently, Pininfarina became involved with many Chinese automakers. <br />
<br />
The Turin Polytechnic alumna designed several successful production and concept cars during his time as chief of Pininfarina, including the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, 1968 Ferrari 250 P/5 and 2003 Maserati Quattroporte. <br />

<br />
However, Pininfarina’s work was not limited to exotic vehicles as he also designed the Fiat 124 Sport Spider, the Alfa Romeo Spider, and the Peugeot 406 coupé and 306. <br />
<br />
In 2005, he was appointed Life Senator and 2008 saw his eldest son, Andrea die due to a traffic accident. <br />
<br />
Sergio Pininfarina directed the construction of the firm’s facilities in Grugliasco, an R&D centre, Italy’s first wind tunnel and launch on the Italian stock exchange. In 1987, he established an industrial design centre, marking the brand’s ambitions beyond automotive design. <br />
<br />
“Sergio had an extraordinary taste in design,” Fabrizio Giugiaro, head of styling at Italdesign Giugiaro, told <em>Automotive News</em>. “We have lost a long-time great friend.” <br />
<br />
Pininfarina left his CEO position in 2001 and has been battling an illness for the last several years. <br />
<br />
He is survived by wife Giorgia and sons Lorenza and Paolo.Lagunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756399047874974400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160455.post-27875459034640365452012-07-03T11:37:00.016+01:002012-08-05T13:57:01.597+01:00Big in Spain: Fiat proves popular in Spain<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xQLmdFfTtmpjirWCRTe5DXHyGBRt44KHq3pRIbBtJmIRxlUAIz4EKkbk58rXuqQ5YTXiADGy7MPLKZ5We_GO0RFNUlVAh_pt6N4xhUC5U0AroXAzxPLRwTdMfT0AA-fsfasi2Q/s1600/2008+Fiat+500+hatchback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xQLmdFfTtmpjirWCRTe5DXHyGBRt44KHq3pRIbBtJmIRxlUAIz4EKkbk58rXuqQ5YTXiADGy7MPLKZ5We_GO0RFNUlVAh_pt6N4xhUC5U0AroXAzxPLRwTdMfT0AA-fsfasi2Q/s320/2008+Fiat+500+hatchback.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Although car registrations have fallen 8.2% in June, sales of Fiat soared by 21.6% last month as the firm shifted 1,900 units and 10,091 units during the first six months, representing a 5.3% year-on-year decrease. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/06/07/fiat-500-tallies-100000th-sale-500-zagato-coupe-may-reach-production/">500</a> city-car accounted for nearly more than half of sales, with 734 units sold – thanks in part to advertisement featuring Fernando Alonso. The new <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/01/25/second-generation-fiat-panda-to-live-on-as-panda-classic-eu/">Panda</a> nabbed around 689 units of the 1,900 cars sold. <br />

Lancia saw incredible sales growth, with 222 units sold, signifying a 66.9% increase year-on-year. The most popular model was the <a href="http://motormania.eu.com/MM/2012/02/16/chrysler-launches-ypsilon-blackred-special-edition-uk/">Ypsilon</a> supermini, of which 100 units found new homes. Year-to-date, 560 units of the supermini were sold. <br />
<br />
With a sales figure of 1,111 units from January to June, Lancia’s sales have risen by a whopping 91.9% YTD.Lagunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15756399047874974400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20160455.post-9366322549368959542012-07-03T08:51:00.027+01:002012-08-05T13:57:01.599+01:00Leaked: 2013 Renault Clio IV<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwofVa_ZTWkl4AXg_6Kq-5hkelX9bl3pqB5pnwofBNu43mu4m1ylaOIYhnU3FL0APtlX9K4SZxj90aSKkIlq8bxq4fu-iMC3iF0TPeYeR4gKo8O9HETBBAOXqegPGel3Qlg0v2A/s1600/2013+Renault+Clio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXwofVa_ZTWkl4AXg_6Kq-5hkelX9bl3pqB5pnwofBNu43mu4m1ylaOIYhnU3FL0APtlX9K4SZxj90aSKkIlq8bxq4fu-iMC3iF0TPeYeR4gKo8O9HETBBAOXqegPGel3Qlg0v2A/s320/2013+Renault+Clio.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Leaked images of the all-important Renault <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/01/spied-2013-renault-zoe-ev.html">Clio IV</a> have surfaced onto the web via Renault Ireland. <br />
<br />
Boasting the firm’s new distinct design language, previewed by numerous concepts, the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/01/spied-2013-renault-zoe-ev.html">Clio IV</a> features lots of curves and creases, with large headlight clusters, chrome window line, and hidden rear door handles lending a more dynamic and sportier look. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Although no interior photos were published, we expect improved interior quality along with a more defined and emotional design. The dashboard will be available to order in red, black, brown or white at no extra cost. <br />
<br />
A new multimedia system, called R-Link, will be fitted on more expensive grades and will eventually be fitted on other Renault models. <br />
<br />
The Clio 4 will also feature two new turbocharged engines - the 0.9 TCe, a three-cylinder with 89bhp (90PS/67kW) and 135 Nm (100lbs-ft) of torque, and the 1.2 TCe, which will offer 113bhp (115PS/84kW), and a revised 1.5 dCi. These will be mated to either a manual or new dual-clutch transmission. <br />
<br />
The fourth installment of the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/01/spied-2013-renault-zoe-ev.html">Clio</a> is scheduled to greet the public at the Paris Motor Show this September. <br />

<br />
The unnamed city-car will be heavily inspired by both the 1970s N600 and the 2011 N Concept 4 that was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last year. Unlike the tiny N600, it will have five doors. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Exact dimensional for the newcomer are unknown but the vehicle will be no longer than 3,378mm (133”) and 1,473mm (58”) wide. The cabin will be basic, at best with large HVAC controls and circular air-vents. <br />
<br />
The front-engined model will be powered by a naturally-aspirated 660cc VTEC four-cylinder petrol engine that will kick out a maximum of 48kW (64bhp/65PS) driving the front wheels via a CVT transmission. <br />
<br />
The unnamed city-car will mainly be sold in Japan and may be exported to several neighbouring countries during mid-2013. <br />
<br />
Kei-cars are designed specifically for city streets where parking is a luxury and are predominantly bought by young women. They also qualify for significant tax reductions. <br />

<br />
The youngster screamed “it’s loaded” as he pointed the gun at stunned onlookers who watched the boy trying to break into an EV parked near a block of flats in the Gothenburg suburb of Kortedala. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>He abandoned his first attempt before moving onto another vehicle, in which he gained entry and sped off almost hitting a gardener who was working locally. <br />
<br />
“From what I understand, they had a good overview of things and honked their horn so that other cars stopped when he came,” said Jan Jentzell of Poseidon, the property management firm which owned the car. <br />
<br />
According to Jentzell, the boy continued to drive in the stolen car for about ten minutes before crashing at a roundabout. <br />
<br />
He then tried fleeing the scene before being grabbed by an adult. <br />
<br />
"It's unbelievable," Jentzell said. "I've never seen anything like it. It's also so tragic...he's so young." <br />
<br />
The boy was turned over to social services who will decide what measures need to be taken. The gun used by the boy to threaten onlookers is believed to have been an air gun.<br />

<br />
At first glance, spies thought it was another Range Rover <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-range-rover.html">Vogue</a>, but a closer inspection revealed it was actually the <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-range-rover.html">Range Rover</a> Sport. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Although heavily camouflaged with pixelated-cladding, the Sport is unmistakeable thanks to a more steeply-raked windscreen, a narrower side glass area, lower roof and a sloping roof line. There's also shorter overhangs, different lights and a larger roof spoiler. <br />
<br />
The rear windscreen is also slightly more rounded and upright. The prominent side sills also aid in the sportier stance. <br />

Under the skin, the new <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-range-rover.html">Range Rover</a> Sport is sit on a modified Jaguar XJ aluminium platform. This should mean a momentous weight-loss compared to the current body-on-frame model. Reports suggest Land Rover could cut as much as 400kg (882lbs) from the kerb-weight, bringing the total down to around 2,100kg (4,630lbs). <br />
<br />
Engines for the new model will include the 3.0 litre V6 diesel and 5.0 litre V8 petrol in naturally-aspirated and supercharged forms, as seen in the current car. A turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel have also been rumoured to improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy. All units will use an eight-speed automatic gearbox that drives all four-wheels. <br />
<br />
The 2014 <a href="http://www.motormaniabuzz.eu/2012/05/spied-2013-range-rover.html">Range Rover</a> Sport could be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this September. A plug-in hybrid as previewed with the Range_e concept is planned to arrive in 2015. <br />
