Over the last two years the British company have been busy preparing the full production model and thanks to a report by Car Magazine we can bring you some of the juicy details.
Under this agreement Porsche Design will design luxury catamarans and mega-yachts for Royal Falcon Fleet on an exclusive basis in addition to developing a marketing concept for the yachts.
There isn't much left to ponder on the newest model to be added to the Porsche line-up, the Panamera has been spotted so many times lacking any kind of disguise by our spy photographers that it seems pointless doing a reveal article now.
New images of the model have now surfaced, after the Japanese automaker bypassed the more conventional method of releasing content through the press and posted the official photos on a number of its websites.
The i20 replaces the Getz in the Hyundai line-up, it features a chrome topped grille and teardrop headlights which mimic many of the signature styling features seen from the Korean brand in models such as the i10 and i30.

Rumours have started to float around regarding one Ferrari’s most powerful models, the 430 Scuderia, and that a Spider, convertible version is going to be launched. Irony would be the name of the game, italian engineers working very hard to shave of the extra kilograms from the car, by removing luxuries like radio and sacrificing the interior, only to “fatten up” the model again, by adding further bracing and support due to the rigidity lost by removing the roof out of the car.
The presumed F430 Scuderia Spider will be made in a limited run of 300 cars, available for the top customers of the manufacturer, and is sure to attract quite a few clients, who want to have a thoroughbred Italian stallion in their garage, and of course to be seen driving it with the top down. Until the presumed official launch at the Ferrari Challenge at Mugello in November, all we’re left to do is admire the current version of the F430 Scuderia in this video.
What you see in the video below is what’s left of a beautiful green Lamborghini Murcielago. The crash took place Woodland Hills, Los Angeles’ district. The 30 year old driver, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, was seen speeding west on the Ventura Freeway west of Topanga Canyon Boulevard just before the incident when he lost control of the car, hit a guardrail on the 101 freeway and crashed into a parking structure. The car burst into flames and the driver suffered severe burns and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of the accident is not yet known, but it really doesn’t matter, a man lost his life. This should be another warning for everyone that drives a high performance car, no matter what brand or how much it costs. Always think twice before hitting the gas pedal!
Introduced in 1999, the Audi A2 was never a success for the German company so the model was discontinued in 2005. When the A2 production ended, Audi announced that its replacement, the Audi A1, will be unveiled in 2009. However, according to Car Magazine, the A2 will be reintroduced and will benefit from an electric package. If this rumors are true, the A2 will be built as a lightweight aluminum spaceframe (ASF) city car adapted for battery operation. And that’s not all. Though the development will be very expensive and the platform won’t be shared throughout the VW Group, its basic underlying concept might be flexible enought to be the starting point of a Porsche electric powered part.
Yesterday morning, the Top Gear team, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, drove along the Tower Bridge in London, not in some extravagant supercars, but in none other that a tank. While some people would have immediately join the ad-hoc revolution, following Jeremy to the Parliament, it was sadly all part of a publicity stunt for the 2009 MPH show which will also host Top Gear Live, which will kick off in October.
The “small” stunt really drew the crowds attention onto the Top Gear Live show, which will consist in the guys performing live test drives of the hottest supercars out there, next to amazing explosions and other stunts planned out for the event. Toss in some appearances from The Stig, and the recipe for a complete show is made. Plus, the waiting list for the regular Top Gear stretches out for about 21 years, so why don’t you take advantage of this opportunity and be part of the audience for this show. Until then all we can do is wait for October, and indulge ourselves in the photos from this publicity stunt, enjoy!
It’s been almost a year since the auto world was stunned when legendary rally driver Colin McRae died in a helicopter accident, with three more persons including his 4 year old son. To honor him, approximately 1100 Subaru cars gathered in front of Colin’s residence in Scotland on Saturday August 30. The convoy, that stretched 30 miles drove for nine hours (300 miles) to Prodrive's headquarters in Banbury, with thousands of fans cheering along the way. "Literally every bridge had people waving and cheering us along with many hanging the Saltire from the railings." said Grant Hendry, who led the McRae Gathering convoy. "It turned what was an already memorable event into a truly amazing and emotional occasion."
After that, on Sunday morning, the 1086 Subaru’s, led by Colin McRae's original 1996 Impreza rally car syncronized and formed a sign almost half a mile long that spelled out COLIN MCRAE along with the Scottish flag. The event, besides raising nearly £40,000 for the McRae charities, broke two Guiness World Records, one for the largest sign made out of cars and the second for the largest parade of cars.
As the precious event draws ever closer, the Korean manufacturer has released a few new images along with a few technical details many Kia fans will be wanting to hear.
We have so far been limited to a small selection of press images of the model, but now we can present to you the first video of the 911 Carrera and Carrera 4S.
It marks the end of an era for the facility which has built more than 200,000 Z4s over the past seven years with production being shifted over to Germany for the new model.
As can be seen in this new video of the model caught at the Nurburgring in Germany, styling modifications will be kept to a minimum with engineers focusing their attention beneath the posterior.
The 2009 MPH show which will host Top Gear Live is just around the corner and in true Top Gear style, Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May have begun the press launch in about the only way they know how.
For the E90 BMW 3-Series sedan, Japanese tuning company, Wald International, has released another new body kit which follows the same hard edged look with louvered styling elements previously seen...
