  • 2014 BMW F10 M5 Facelift [leak]

    Here are some leak images of the Facelift version of BMW F10 M5.

    The exterior boasts a new front grill with larger vertical ribs like those on the BMW M6. The headlights will be slightly different, too. There doesn’t appear to be any other updates to the exterior.

    The interior upgrades are also minimal – a new slimmer steering wheel and a new touch-sensitive iDrive controller.

    The engine is the same twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 with 560HP (412 kW) and 680Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. However, in order to get the BMW M5’s power closer to this in the new E 63 AMG S, the customers can opt for Competition package, which will boost the engine to 575HP (423 kW).

    The suspension will be revised as well as the ///M Dynamic Mode and exclusive 20” alloy wheels.

    The 2014 BMW F10 M5 is expected to hit the market in the end of this year with pricing starting from €103,300.

  • 2013 Skoda Superb Facelift – UK Price £18,555

    Skoda UK has announced the full specs and price list for the 2013 Super Facelift. The luxurious saloon starts from just £18,555 for the 1.4 liter TSI S Hatchback, while the top-of-the-range Laurin & Klement Estate model costs £32,455 powered by a 2.0 litre TDI CR 170HP DFP engine. It also comes with 4×4 AWD system and 6-speed Direct Shift Gearbox.

    The Superb facelift will be available in the UK with six advanced engine options: three petrol and three diesel. Power outputs range from 105HP (1.6 TDI CR) to 260HP for the 3.6 V6 model.

    Engines are up to 19% more economical than the previous generation units, and a fuel-efficient GreenLine version offers emissions of only 109g/km.

    “The Superb continues ŠKODA’s tradition of offering a huge amount of space, engineering excellence and great value for money.”, commented Alasdair Stewart, Brand Director for SKODA UK.

    “Since its launch 12 years ago, the Superb has been lauded for its versatility, comfort and equipment.  This comprehensive facelift builds on these and we are confident that the excellent improvements to fuel consumption and CO2 will appeal to both fleet and private customers.”, he finished.
