It is the first car launched under the ‘Second Century’ plan, continuing Aston Martin’s authentic sports design and distinctive design language, but at the same time pioneering exclusive aerodynamics and in-house made 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine.

The car has been built upon a new lighter and stronger aluminium structure. In addition, the DB11 seems to be the most powerful, efficient and dynamically viable DB model.

The Design

Aston Martin DB11 Front View

As all Aston Martins, this car looks incredibly good! The front is defined by front-hinging clamshell bonnet, distinctive LED headlights and accentuated lines. The sides are dramatic in their appearance due to the roof strakes that flow uninterrupted from A-pillar to C-pillar. The rear has a sloping decklid that smoothly blends into boldly sculpted tail-lights. The design of the car is aerodynamically enhanced via many air ducts, reduced front-end and rear-end lift, AeroBladeTM, a virtual spoiler with discreet air intakes, aperture in the rear decklid, etc.

The Performance

Aston Martin DB11 is powered by 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12, which produces 608 PS (441 kW) and 700Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque. The top speed has been limited to 200 mph, while the 0-62 mph happens in just 3.9seconds. Thanks to intelligent bank activation and stop-start technology the car also delivers great efficiency.

DB11’s chassis, suspension, steering and electronics have been redesigned to match the capability of the new V12. In fact, the car features several driver-selectable dynamic modes, including GT, Sport and Sport Plus. The V12 is actually matched to an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission together with the new electric power steering and Torque Vectoring by braking and in such way Aston Martin has enhanced the agility of the car significantly.

Lamborghini Centenario Takes Minds and Hearts at the Geneva Motor Show

Lamborghini Centenario Front View Lamborghini Centenario is making its world debut at 2016 Geneva Motor Show. It is a very special edition model, because it celebrates the centenary of founder Ferruccio Lamborghini’s birth. The supersports car is built in only 20 coupé and 20 roadster versions, but they have been all already sold. If you ask about the starting price: it is 1.75 million euros.

With a typical aerodynamic design for Lamborghini, the car also includes extending rear wing which provides more downforce at high speeds. More importantly, the introduction of rear-wheel steering delivers better agility and stability, while the innovative touchscreen provides connected infotainment, including internet browsing and Apple CarPlay.

The Power

Centenario is powered by a V12 engine, which produces 770 hp and catapults the car from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and from 0-300 km/h in 23.5 seconds. The top speed is more than 350 km/h. Deceleration is incredible with braking happening from 100 km/h to standstill achieved in 30 meters. The model is based on a carbon fiber monocoque and body, thus ensuring low weight of 1,520 kg and a weight to power ratio of just 1.97 kg/hp.

The Design

Lamborghini Centenario Rear View

The mono-body shape of the Centenario measures 4.924 m length and 1.143 m height. At the front there are large air scoops helping the air to go through the car’s front contributing to downforce on the front axle. In addition, the air flows through ducts within the front headlight casing and others in the sideskirts and around the wheel arches. The roof too includes air scoops.

Gloss carbon fibre defines the whole body of the Centenario, including the front bonnet, scissor door panels and roof line. The irregular wheel arches are a typical Lamborghini feature and they have been accented in matt carbon fibre, emphasizing the aerodynamic design of the car. The wheel arches conceal Pirelli PZero tyres, developed specifically for the model, that are fitted with exclusive 20″/21″ front/rear rims in forged and milled aluminium. Behind them the carbon ceramic brakes are finished with a central-locking wheel nut.

At the rear, we see an integrated rear, ‘Y’-shaped rear lights above it, and the already mentioned extendable rear wing.

The Interior

Lamborghini Centenario Interior

The cabin of each Centenario has been made according to client’s specification. However, there are some similarities including the sports seats made of lightweight carbon fiber, the new stitching that features on the length of the dashboard, steering wheel, sunvisors, rocker covers, and the new inner door panels made of carbon fiber and Alcantara.

Some important technologies need to be mentioned here since they are essential: satellite navigation, a high definition 10.1 inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, sophisticated telemetry function and two optional interior cameras.

At last, the 20 coupés and 20 roadsters named Lamborghini Centenario are going to be delivered from autumn 2016 and throughout 2017. And since all 40 Centenario have been already sold, Geneva Motor Show might be your only chance of seeing the model.

Honda Previews Next-Gen Civic Hatchback with Geneva-Bound Prototype

Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype is being exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show, which started today. The car previews the next-generation Civic hatchback that heralds a significant step-change from the predecessors of Honda’s core model. If the design stays the same in the production model we will be in awe, for it is provocative design and rewarding driving dynamics. But we will have to wait until 2017, when the next-gen Civic Hatch will be introduced.

The Design

We all love Honda Civic Hatchback for its distinctive and sporty design. From what we see from the prototype, it takes it to the next level, making it sportier than ever. Another important detail, which contributes for the aforementioned fact is that the new production Civic will be 30 mm wider, 20 mm lower and 130 mm longer than the current generation. Bigger body usually means larger wheels, and this principle has been kept here. The wider wheels and tires speak of more aggressive stance, while the long wheelbase, short overhangs and sleek cabin area aid the dynamic exterior design.

The front of the prototype is adorned by a short overhang with large air intakes. And this is actually an interpretation of brand’s family face. In addition, the design of the LED headlights and DRLs flows from beneath the bonnet into the wheel arches, accentuating the profile design and culminating in the distinctive C-shaped LED rear lights. At the back we also see a bumper, which incorporates angular creases and vents.

New Engines Equals More Power

Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype Rear View

There are new engines that will be featured in the 10^th generation Civic Hatchback. Precisely, it will be offered with a choice of three powertrain options: 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre VTEC TURBO petrol engines (new! new! new!), and the substantially updated 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel unit. Honda promises that they will all offer better dynamic performance, exceptional output and a fuel economy to envy. No specifics about output and torque were later disclosed.

Production Run in 2017

The good news is that the 10th generation Civic hatchback to be built in Europe and even the better one is that it will be exported globally! Honda’s production facility is based in the UK, which will be granted an investment of €270m in new production technologies and processes to prepare for the new model. From there the next-gen Civic Hatch will be exported worldwide, including the United States.

Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype is also going to make its North American debut in New York on March 22, ahead of the New York International Auto Show.

The Fastest and Most Powerful Bugatti Chiron Makes Geneva Premiere

Bugatti Chiron Front View Bugatti Chiron is a name to remember, not only because it is the latest creation of the ultra-luxury sports car brand, but also because it is expected to achieve great results in the future being absolutely ready for a new world speed record. If you are somewhere near Geneva, then go visit the Motor Show that is currently happening there. You will have the opportunity to witness the world premiere of a future legend, the new Chiron, which is planned to be built in 500 examples only. So this might be your only chance (Bugatti stand is located in Hall Nr.1).

The French luxury brand says that this is “the most powerful, fastest, most luxurious and most exclusive production super sports car in the world” and we are likely to believe it! There are several reasons: first it has a power output of 1,500 HP (1103 kW), which is absolutely unprecedented for a production vehicle. Secondly, it has “huge” torque value of 1,600 Nm (1180 lb-ft), which is available between 2,000 and 6,000 rpm.

Next, it is expected that the Chiron will become the next world speed record holder, meaning that it will achieve a maximum speed significantly above the record currently held by Bugatti. In the case of the production variant of the mode, the manufacturer has limited the Vmax to 420 km/h, achieved in the Top Speed mode.

Bugatti Chiron Interior

These numbers are possible because of the unique eight-litre W16 engine that comes in combination with the four new, larger turbochargers controlled by the company’s two-stage turbocharging.

Furthermore, the Chiron is built over a new carbon fibre monocoque, it features absolutely new adaptive chassis, and runs on tires developed especially for Bugatti. In addition, the supersports car also includes other innovative technologies that make it agile, modern and with handling that delivers optimum driving pleasure.

Bugatti’s DNA has been applied to the design of the car conveying its distinctive features interpreted in a modern way. There have been added new features resulting from the technical demands of even higher performance.

Volkswagen Premieres the Goddess of Fidelity “Phideon” at the Geneva Motor Show

Volkswagen Phideon Front View Volkswagen Phideon luxury saloon is currently making a Geneva Motor Show world premiere. Although it is being premiered in Europe, it is actually created for the Chinese market, where it will be positioned between the Passat and the Magotan. It will be launched there by the end of the year. Why this debut is so important? Because the Phideon actually carries the new “face” of Volkswagen’s luxury saloons.

The design of the Phideon might look similar to this of the C Coupe GTE Concept car and the reason for this is that the first was actually derived from the concept that was presented at Auto Shanghai last year. As a matter of fact, it features only minor changes. In terms of techniques, the Phideon is based on the Modular Longitudinal Matrix (MLB) being the first VW to be based on such. In addition, the luxury saloon is also the first Volkswagen model to be equipped with camera-based night vision system.

The Name

One might also ask, what does the name Phideon stand for? Volkswagen did respond to this question philosophically, stating that the name “is a construct standing for elegance and reliability, and phonetically and symbolically evokes Fides, the Roman goddess of fidelity”.

The TSI Engines

The presented at the show top-of-the-range model is equipped with the most powerful turbocharged direct injection 3.0 V6 TSI 4MOTION engine, which produces up to 300 PS (220 kW) and drives the four wheels. The torque is measured at 440 Nm (324 lb-ft).

There are also two drivetrains to be featured in the future. The first one is the available 2.0 TSI with a front-wheel drive, while the second is a plug-in hybrid. No details were additionally mentioned, regarding torque and horsepower.

The Exterior Design

Volkswagen Phideon Side View

The exterior of the Phideon coems with sporty proportions. Precisely, it is 5.05 metres long, 1.87 metres wide and 1.48 metres high. The most important thing about the design is the “new face”, which will be applied to other VW’s future high-end saloons. It includes bonnet with sharp contours, wide and comparatively high radiator grille with four chrome bars, two chrome-plated crossbars framing the dual LED headlights and LED DRLs.

The profile is characterised by a character line formed by two lines, large wheel arches and the huge alloy wheels, which were derived directly from the C Coupé GTE. At last, the rear section I powerful and mimics the front end. It is too dominated by a horizontal division of the surfaces, accentuating the car’s width, LED rear lights and a stainless steel exhaust tailpipes.

Luxurious and Modern Interior

The sporty five-seater is spacious and comfortable inside. The dashboard and the overall interior design are focused on the technical aspects and driving dynamics, which allows for better driving experience. In terms of luxury, the car is equipped with luxurious seats that are electrically adjusted and include individual settings, have integrated seat ventilation and heating as well as a massage function. The wrap-around ambient light strip that can switch between three different colors adds to the ambient atmosphere.

The High-End Technologies

These include convenience and driver assistance systems like the air suspension system, five individually selectable driving modes, electric soft-closing system for the doors, called “Soft Close” and the MLB assistance systems like Area View, Park Assist, Side Assist, etc.

At last, we must say that we hope Volkswagen to introduce this limousine soon in other countries except China.

Agile and Powerful, 911 R Brings Refined Driving Dynamics and Tons of Enhancements

2016 Porsche 911 R, unveiled today at the Geneva Show demonstrates a well-known formula, blended with contemporary approach towards premium feel and refined performance. With a total of 500hp (368kW) via 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six power unit, paired to a six-speed manual transmission, the latest 911 family member has a lot to demonstrate. Let’s check it out!

The first thing that impressed us about the vehicle is its acceleration and performance rates: from standing start this beauty completes the 0-100km/h (62mph) run in 3.7 seconds and thanks to the smooth and fast gearshifts, along with the special body construction 911 R has the potential to reach a top speed of 323km/h (201mph) and offers a combined fuel consumption of 21.2 mpg.

Exterior and interior styling

At first sight, the body reminds of the Carrera, while the nose and tear body are similar to the 911 GT3. Also, the whole body construction, along with the drivetrain system are based on the 911 GT3 RS. So, is there something unique and special about the new 911 R?

Honestly, the design of this one is based on different Porsche vehicles and is not that appealing or distinctive. Staying in close relation with the original 911 GT3, this one also shows different rear wing and reatatchable rear spoiler with some aerodynamic improvements. Furthermore, the front and rear apron also come from the 911 GT3, but the different here is the restyled spoiler lip and the sport exhaust system with titanium components. Sweet.

2016 Porsche 911 R

On the other side, the interior offers carbon-fiber bucket seats, trimmed with special fabric center panels in Pepita tartan design, resembling the classic 911 models from the 1960s. Furthermore, there is a special R-specific 360mm diameter GT sports steering wheel and short shift gearlever and of course, clutch pedal in the footwell. There are also special carbon trim strips in the interior with embedded aluminum badge on the passenger’s side to indicate the number of each 911 R. Why is that you may ask? Well…the thing is that this is a limited run of just 991 units, so if you are interested in buying one, you’d better hurry up.

Drivetrain system

Geared with exclusively fine-tuned rear-axle steering, direct turn-in and enhanced handling, the whole drivetrain system ensures high stability and maximum traction. Also, the advanced Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes are also part of the standard equipment. The disks measure 410mm in diameter on the front axle and 390mm at the rear.

2016 Porsche 911 R

We mentioned the lightweight construction. The overall weight of the vehicle is 1,370kg, which means that the team managed to remove additional 50 kilograms. The bonnet and front wheel-arches are now completely made of carbon-fiber, while the roof is made of magnesium and reduces the center of gravity. Some additional weight savings have been made by redesigning the cabin and the omission of rear bench seats.

2016 Porsche 911 R is already available for purchase and has a starting price of $190,897USD.
