I know that the idea was to make a series of announcements of wildlife to promote the services and the original BMW parts but still while a blow of eye seems not very intelligent, to be honest, it is a very clever way to convey a message that would otherwise fairly dull.

This week, the German car manufacturer began a new advertising campaign on the theme "which is not natural." Videos that have worked for 3 days, recorded only 3 000 to 4 000 views each. Perhaps because they are displayed in the category of vehicles & car on YouTube. Video content face depends more on the research discovery and therefore the thumbnail plays an important role in viral success. The guys in the Department of advertising on their hats of biology and invented three new creatures: the poucan, a hybrid of penguin/toucan, the luffalo, a lion crossed with a cape buffalo and the zorse. What is a zebra/horse.


The main idea is fairly clear. The message of this clipsis that put lesser parts on your BMW is also abnormal as a horned lion, or a Penguin with a multicoloured beak. Or a horse that has a few stripes.

If this car a reality, it would be the only two doors fixed roof offering of Lexus, not counting the $375,000 LFA. It would also be the second Lexus of two doors to offer more than two seats, convertible roof rigid is being the first. The GS Cup probably would not arrive until the spring of 2013.


Lexus GS 350 Cup would also share its entire platform and the transmission of traction rear with the GS 350 sedan. Power would be therefore a 300-more-power 3.5-litre V6 and Lexus a tried-and-true six speed automatic transmission. Prices would probably begin in the neighbourhood of $50,000.

Vauxhall Astra GTC comes HiPerStrut and Unique to the United Kingdom pilot program

When it became available to order, in June, the challenger of average size cut Vauxhall caused a real stir. With a starting price of only £ 18,495 and dramatic style of a design team led by Brit, Mark Adams, the RCT is set to client wow UK and runners before established in its class - the Volkswagen Scirocco and the Renault Megane Coupe of rock.

United Kingdom should be the largest market of the GTC, that is why engineers Vauxhall and Opel have led a large part of their assessment on UK roads.


It seems that much of the development on the introduction of HiPerStrut of Vauxhall of the GTC, a first for a model Astra and derived from the insignia VXR Dual 325PS.This system uses points of collecting existing Astra, but reduces the angle of inclination of kingpin of 44 per cent and shortens the length of the spindle (offset hub) of 46 per cent against models of the MacPherson strut. This allows to avoid the torquesteer - a feature of many powerful front wheel drive cars - allowing drivers to use more performance without the corrupted GTC of being direction.


The HiPerStrut also reduces the amount of camber change on front wheels of the GTC at turns, improve adherence. Direction of usability is enhanced, too, helped by a reduction in the levels of friction of the steering system. The geometry changes in the HiPerStruts also means that the GTC can be equipped with wheels of up to 20 inches in diameter.


FlexRide, Vauxhall Adaptive damping system, will be available as an option on the RCT range, completing the revisions to the chassis of the new model.


Alongside this, a most most important changes, UK drivers appreciate mainly specially constructed single pilotage program for them.

Next-Gen Ford Escape: Spy Shots

One of the most interesting concept car presented at the auto show in Detroit 2011 was Vertrek Ford. Inspiration taking the Focus hatchback, it looks like a rider and more refined exhaust, which is now a need for a replacement.

The vehicle was spotted in SoCal and Spy photographers not only align outside of a multitude of angles, but they also managed to obtain some spy interior shots as well.

This blows, we can see the Interior looks strongly inspired by the Fiesta and Focus, it is just multiplied a little.

Course is not the time yet to talk shows and all kinds of features, but we can assume that this template is very similar with the Ford Vertrek, the car has shown this year at the Detroit Auto show.

The Vertrek is based on the same architecture as the 2012 Ford Focus and is set to replace the crossover Kuga in Europe.

Next to the form that is visible even with this camouflage, it is more a new form, this history with the sport Vertrek also one of the new Ford's EcoBoost engines. According to the concept shown in hood of Detroit is turbocharged 1.6 litre 4 cylinder. This same engine also just revealed that in 2011 Ford C - Max, making 168 - hp and ft - lbs torque 173. If Ford follows the same strategy as with C - Max, look for a model of production get a standard 4-cylinder 2.5 litre as powerful 168 - hp, with the EcoBoost of selling for a premium version, but this are just a few assumptions for the moment.

If we are going to discover something new, you'll be the first you will discover. Until then, in the gallery below you can see photos of recent spy with Ford Escape of Next - Gen.

Video: A fully functional Batmobile powered by a Turbine Engine gets tested

A big fan of the series, his dream of childhood, a build size Batmobile of Batman from 1989 work and does not all…this car is powered by a turbine engine.

We know that when we talk about our childhood dreams ambition and fanaticism go hand in hand, but when we can also help fill their joy replaces all other feelings.

In this situation is Casey Putsch of the Putsch of race. He decided to build his own replica of the 1989 Batman film, it powered by a turbine. We can only imagine what kind of changes have been made for the Batmobile behave like a normal car.

If you want your dream car to be powerful and also realistic, you must choose a propper engine. In this case, the engine power of the replica of the Batmobile has been used by the US Navy to power drone attack helicopters, and it develops around 365 BHP, which is very practical, given the weight of car of the Putsch.

Of course, hand in hand, with such a power, it is sound and the sound of the engine is amazing and you'll also hear in the video below. I would like to hear that every day in the city against a bike 16,000 rpm. You may think that it sounds like a vacuum cleaner, so me, but once again my vacuum cleaner is not almost 400 HP.

A single team of Fiat and Chrysler management

According to the CEO of both companies, Sergio Marchionne, Fiat SpA and Chrysler Group LLC will soon have a single management structure. The Bloomberg financial news agency reported that Marchionne told journalists in Zurich that it intends to implement its management unified team "quite quickly", but he declined to specify a date.

It seems that Sergio Marchionne is working on management changes as it steps up the integration of the two companies. The CEO of plans to merge presents two builders to reduce costs and achieve a goal of more than 100 billion euros ($140 billion) in income combined in 2014. In may, the Executive said that the time of the merger was not decided yet, adding that a combination not likely this year.

Initially the Italian brand has acquired a stake of 20% for Chrysler by the Government of the United States but aims to be 57% at the end of 2011, having already agreed with the Government to pay 500 million dollars for the remainder of 6% and expect to receive another 5% as payment to develop a fuel-efficient for U.S. manufacturer's vehicle.

Because that Italy was furor when Marchionne has suggested that the unified Fiat-Chrysler may be headquartered in Detroit, the unified management structure could be yet another source of controversy. This will be, after all, the more direct signal yet whether or not the Fiat-Chrysler is an Italian company with global operations, an Italian-American alliance or a truly global company.

Also the new model will be more powerful, with the current V-12 6.0 litre engine should undergo a major redesign not only produce more power, but also produce fewer emissions. Expected output increase of about 20 horses in the DBS to a new peak of power 530.

The exterior design almost the same, will remain the current proportion remains virtually unchanged. Wait for an overall look of the sharper bends, carved sides and a grid similar to that used on the One-77 supercar, but we will see the final result just for the launch.

The new Plans of Ford: Mustang redesign in 2014; Before GT500 ZL1-Fighter (more 550HP) will be released in 2013

The Mustang GT500 will not go double turbo soon - he'll stick with a compressor, or at least that is what Motorauthority say they have learned from a source. Alongside this, the GT500 2014 is due in 2013 at the beginning with even more power than the current 550 horsepower Monster. After that, by 2014 we will have a redesigned Mustang. Much of this information has been thrown on the rumor or speculation, but this is more real ant the Motorauthority source it binds together and confirmed.

This "competition" - double versus turbo compressor for the next GT500 is raging on blogs, magazines and forums of fan for more than a year now. The weight of the evidence rests largely with the camp of the non-turbo, but for some reason, just rumors never die.

The new 2014 GT500 in 2013 at the beginning, he will obtain a significant improvement in power to fight against the most important adversary - Camaro ZL1. Who is also a kind of backdoor confirmation that the ZL1 will debut with more power than the current 550 horses GT500, pointing out that the rumors of 570 horses have some merit.

The next GT500, when he arrives early in 2013, probably get more than a superficial redesign. The complete redesign of the Mustang line arrives to 2014 for the year 2015. For the moment the details such as weight, performance, size, or style, are very little, but we will keep you in touch with new al coming.

The German mark, after an investment of EUR 330 million in infrastructure and production facilities as early as today the production of its new Q3, a little seen.

The infrastructure of this new model is really developed. Audi a m2 to 30,000 new body (322,917 square feet) with 450 robots shop was one of the many new facilities constructed. Audi Q3 will help the seat to be filled the capacity of the Martorell plant permanently. Approximately 100,000 units of Audi Q3 will leave the three quarters to Martorell assembly line each year.

"The decision to produce the Audi Q3 in Spain reflects our intention to continue our growth course areas, while also an internationalization strategy," explains Frank Dreves, AUDI AG member of the Board for Production.
In the history of the brand Audi success from the beginning of the production of T3 at the Martorell plant is an important page.

The new SUV, Audi Q3, is little less than 4.4 m long and 1.6 m high. With these dimensions, this car is really compact. Interiors are not cramped, especially the rear.

When it comes on the options of new models Audi is one of the best. This new model comes with four different engine options, which are mounted transversely and boast 2.0 litres, turbocharging, direct injection and stop-start technology.

Power outputs ranging from 103kW 155 kW. Q3 2.0 TDI input level will launch after the gasoline engines, providing a front wheel drive layout and a manual transmission to six-speed and an average of "less to" 5.2 l / 100 km fuel consumption.

The first Spy photos with 2013 BMW series 3 GT (Gran Turismo)

In seems that next vehicle niche of the mark will be only a smaller Gran Turismo based on next-generation 3 series.

Given that BMW has a record quite successful over the past decade, the German mark has decided to introduce additional models that create new niches in the market but that end up selling more niche volume.

Now BMW built a Gran Turismo sedan with something form factor in the sense of a 5-Series gt more small for now, we do not know how it will be called; It may be named WG 3 - series, or as a new model, a series of 4 possible, remains uncertain. But what it is called, here you can see how it will look like.

The espionnée here car has a front of much plu end, ride height and the base than the current batch of next-generation 3-series prototypes, we have seen and probably a long wheelbase. It is very possible to horseback riding on the platform developed for the new 2013 BMW 3-series and propelled by the slate of the engines, which means a range of naturally vacuumed and four and six cylinder turbocharged units.

Do not expect to see this car too soon. The GT series 3 2013 should launch about a year after the introduction of next-generation 3-series issue as a 2012 model.

Spy Shots: Audi S6 forward without any Camouflage

Here you can see the latest photos of you with Audi S6 before taken by Spy photographers. The main difference is that the last time where we saw some spy shots with the new Audi S6 before this was fully cammoed, but this time his conduct with no cammo at all. Just a small get is absent from this car is complete: the S6 badges are missing.


In these images, it is clear that its well proportionate lines radiate elegance and agility, a real evolution in design.


The new Audi S6 front get a litre newly developed 4.0 V8 with twin-turbos and deliver some 450 horses. Therefore, the new V8 engage not just more power, it will also reduce fuel consumption and emissions of about 20%.


As you probably expect in an Audi S-car. It will be a true Quattro four wheel drive and the power will be delivered hollow, an eight-speed equipped with standard speed automatic transmission.


The front is expected to make its public debut at the 2011 Frankfurt auto show alongside the sedan. Audi and BMW, Mercedes-Benz unlike, have been reluctant to bring their hottest carts to the United States in recent years, citing a lack of interest of the buyer, so do expect no way to see this car in the streets of America. Even worse for the chances of the S6: Audi bringing the front standard A6 to the United States, either.

2013 Infiniti JX released a new Teaser: the second image

It seems that the "power of 7" is of new strikes. A today unveiled the second image of the puzzle.

Rumor: Ferrari 458 Spider will have folding hard top

PistonHeads.com, it appears that some inside sources said that fabric is released for new drop-top 458.
So while it is true, the Ferrari 458 Spider will be have a folding tip hard-top, not roof fabric worn by his predecessor the F430 Spider.

This folding hard-top 458 was the main subject of much speculation and rumours, especially in light of the Ferrari California folding metal roof. Thought the spider F430 that a folding hard-top was too heavy and too complex, but it seems that Ferrari has solved these problems for the drop-top 458.

Inside source has not revealed many details, but it seems that the lid of the transparent Cup engine was abandoned, although fortunately unchanged the 4.5 l 562bhp under the V8.

For the moment, it is really difficult toll if the new arrangement of roof will be a work of glass or metal. This could down behind the seats tuck when it is opened, but it's fair to prediction of certain web rumors.

The new Ferrari 458 Spider is intended for a public debut at the fall of Frankfurt Motor Show, so we should see photos and details of the new car sometime later this summer.

2012 Bentley GTC speed shows his face to the Nurburgring: Spy Shots

A few months ago, that you had images of the new Bentley Continental GTC update and a few weeks after the first pictures of the speed of Conti GT and two weeks ago the first photos of the GTC speed in some tests in the European Alps of brake.

Yesterday Nürburgring was the host for speed GTC prototype testing and Spy photographers were there to take some shots for us.

It appears that the speed GTC, as well as on the GT speed, has a redesigned front bumper, which seems more sport and then the normal WG and some changes in the exhaustsystem.

Is not the time to discuss the features and performance, so it is not certain of the strength of the new engine will be but we are sure that this will be a double turbo 6.0 litre W12 with greater than the current 600 HP output. This power will be transferred through a system of all wheel drive and transformed in a less 0-60 mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds.

With less weight, it will also be more energy efficient than the current. Inside we find new seats and a dash updated with a new sat NAV.

Wait for the Bentley Continental gt c speed facelift debut at the end of 2011, with overall sales begin in 2012 at the beginning.
