  • Volkswagen Teases a Mysterious Electric Vehicle Ahead of CES Debut

    Volkswagen CES EV Debut Volkswagen has just released a mysterious teaser image of what seems to be a big in size vehicle, which will be introduced at next month’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The event will take place from 6th till 9th of January in Las Vegas. The new concept will be entirely new and unseen so far and will illustrate the major changes that Volkswagen is going to set through the next few years.

    The details revealed are scarce, but what the company said is that the world premiere will mark the beginning of a new era of affordable long-distance electro-mobility. Should Tesla fear? We doubt so. Anyway, at the event the new vehicle will show the advantages to the customer that VW will be able to deliver in the near future. They will be due to the “increasing interconnectedness of the motor car”, whatever that comes to signify.

    The visitors of the show in Las Vegas will be also able to see new operating concepts, which will be also making a debut there. As an example, Volkswagen will give quite a clear glimpse of the latest developments in in-car infotainment system, which is going to be launched onto the market very soon. Golf R Touch concept will also be finding its way into Volkswagen’s broad product portfolio.

    What does the teaser image say? There isn’t a second opinion that the car will light its way via LED headlights. What we also see is a LED grille and logo up front. Since there are LED DRLs as well, we can also suspect that the rear will too receive a LED treatment.

    Other details about the show reveal that Dr. Herbert Diess, the Chairman of the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand, will be a speaker on the evening before the show opens its doors. He will discus the latest developments in electro-mobility and the next generation of connectivity, we spoke about.

    Stay tuned and eco-minded!

    Three cars will compete in every round of the 2016 Championship. Their drivers will be Dani Sordo, Hayden Paddon and Thierry Neuville.

    Porsche 718 Cayman Teaser Yes, that’s right. Everybody’s favorite Cayman and Boxster has new names. The two cars will be introduced in 2016 as Porsche 718 Boxster and Porsche 718 Cayman. If you wonder what the 718 designation stands for, well it is a reference to the ground-breaking sports car of this type of the year 1957. Back in the days this car enjoyed much success in renowned car races.

    There have been released two sketch teasers of the models, to announce the name change. What we see and what Porsche confirms is that the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman will share more similarities than ever: both visual and technical. The luxury company says that in the future they both will be equally powerful and will have flat four-cylinder ‘boxer’ engines with turbocharging. And, unfortunately for some, the roadster will be positioned at a higher price level than the Coupé, which will mimic the case for the 911 models.

    SEE ALSO: Porsche Announces “Green Light” for the Electric Mission E

  • Gloss Davinci Red Redefines Simplicity for this Ferrari 458 Italia

This time they have released a special edition of a Ferrari 458 Italia, which has been fitted with exclusive PUR 8IGHT wheels.

    And did you know that the goal of the PUR 8IGHT when it was released years ago was to bulk up and shed away the unnecessary weight and to be as efficient as possible? Well, the goal was achieved and it was possible to translate it to the performance super cars like this Ferrari Italia.

    Furthermore, the vibrant ‘pop of color’ adds a level of contrast to the simplistic design, but also makes more space for the brakes by emphasizing their size and complementing their color. In other words, these wheels seem as the perfect addition to the non-intrusive design of the 458 Italia.

    And speaking of which, Ferrari 458 Italia is powered by the naturally-aspirated, direct-injection 4.5 litre V8 engine, which produces 578 horsepower (425 kW) at 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. It reaches a maximum speed of 320 km/h (198 mph).

    The acceleration time which this Ferrari has for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is under 3.4 seconds. The power of the 458 Spider is transferred to the road by Ferrari’s class-leading dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmission through the sophisticated E-Diff. It is definitely a car to ride.

  • BAC Mono is a Hidden Rising Star… to Watch For

    BAC Mono Side ViewBAC Mono isn’t a car that we talk about every day. But when we do, it is to mark an achievement of this unique British luxury sports car. The reason for this article here is that the vehicle has been announced as a rising star in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, and precisely has been picked as “One to Watch”.

    By the way, the company sold 21 Mono supercars around the world in 2015. And it has attracted investment from international backers to help push this further in the next 12 months. This has helped BAC to open several new showrooms around the word and it is predicted that the sales in 2016 are going to be doubled.

    SEE ALSO: 2016 BAC Model Year Mono: Is it Vehicle for Earth’s Roads or Is It for Moon Hiking?

    One of the biggest achievements of the company was at the opening of one of the latest in Hong Kong’s Kowloon Bay last month. The new dealership sold eight of its annual allocation of twelve cars on the launch night alone. Furthermore, BAC was clever enough to strengthen its position in Hong Kong with a track day for VIPs and potential customers over the last weekend.

    BAC Mono Fornt View

    Far East seems to like very much the BAC Mono, since successful introduction of the car to Japan earlier this year. The Japanese dealership has sold five Monos since it opened in July. In addition, the customers in Far East Asia value the car’s bespoke driver fitment program, which offers a custom-made seat and steering wheel as well as its limitless options for personalization.

    The 2016 Model Year Mono comes equipped with the 2.5-litre Mountune four-cylinder engine. It is capable of producing 305 hp (224 kW) and a sprint from 0 to 60mph in just 2.8sec. The Mono weighs just 580kg, which means it boasts a staggering power-to-weight ratio of 526 hp per tonne.

    Now you know why this award isn’t a coincidence at all. Maybe it will be a big year for BAC.

  • Mercedes-Benz Reveals Inspired-by-the-Future Interior of the E-Class

    Mercedes-Benz E-Class interior First ImageThis is the interior of Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It seems that it has stepped into the future with its new design and numerous features and innovations included. Some of the cool equipment features are the 12.3 inch high-resolution next-generation dual display that appears to hover in space, the touch-sensitive control buttons on the steering wheel, the intelligent graphic design with high-resolution visualizations and animations. Furthermore, the cabin is spacious enough and is wrapped in high-quality materials. But let’s check out the details.

    The Wide Dual Display

    The wide dual display is definitely an eye-catcher. It is 12.3-inch (31.2 cm) big and has a resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. It allows the driver to choose between three different styles to select their preferred screen design: “Classic”, “Sport” and “Progressive”.

    SEE ALSO: E-Class Coupe and Cabrio Models Get Sweet Sport and V8 Upgrades

    In addition, the E-Class combines two tube-type round dials and a 17.8 cm color display cluster with 1000 x 600-pixel resolution, with a central display with a 21.3 cm screen diagonal with 960 x 540-pixel resolution. The round dials, instrument cluster and central display are installed in a single frame with a high-gloss piano-lacquer look.

    The Touch Control

    Mercedes-Benz E-Class interior Second Image

    Another innovation is the touch control buttons on the steering wheel. They respond precisely to horizontal and vertical finger swipes. This enables the driver to control every function of the infotainment system. Additional four buttons in each switch panel are there with their familiar functions, such as for volume control and telephone control.

    Next, the touchpad on the centre console allows all functions to be controlled by single or multi-finger gestures. Three touch-sensitive buttons are arranged behind the touchpad and can be utilized to operate key functions quickly and directly.

    The Emotional Cabin

    The new E-Class combines luxurious elegance and sportiness. The cabin is characterized by the interplay of strong solid bodies with sculptural surfaces and an avant-garde clarity and extensiveness of control and display zones. This makes the interior extremely emotional and reflects Mercedes-Benz design language called “Sensual Purity”.

    Depending on the transmission, there are two differently designed centre consoles. The automatic transmission models have a straight-through centre console, with high connection to the cockpit by a control panel in a “Black Panel” glass look. Other controls, such as in the doors, also feature the “Black Panel” look. The manual transmission models are given a centre console in the form of two separate trim parts.

    High-grade materials define the interior, including open-pore woods, wood in a yachting look with flowing lines, modern inlaid wood and a novel metal fabric. The doors are leather-covered as is the beltline for selected lines.

    Mercedes-Benz E-Class interior Third Image

    Furthermore, the interior lighting makes exclusive use of durable, energy-saving LED technology. With 64 colors, it offers a host of possibilities for personalization and adds touches of light.

    In addition, we have to say that the design of the seat is another benefit here. They create an ergonomic, sculptural impression with their torso form. They are differently designed depending on the line.

    There are a lot of other cool features of the interior of the newest E-Class. This list includes 3D sound with concert hall experience, new optional LED High Performance headlamps that give the saloon a majestically focused look while featuring an unmistakable design, the high-resolution MULTIBEAM LED technology and the stardust effect created at the rear by the tail lamp in torch design.

    We hope you enjoy the pictures of the interior below.
