J a g u a r
are rumoured to bring a 4-dr coupe. It would clearly tackle the
Mecredes CLS and all those who are tackling the CLS. Strange thing: initially the CLS was
developed to tackle Jaguar, which was why its project name was Jag Killer.
The Jaguar's Jag Killer killer is supposed to come in 2014, if it comes! 23rd August * * M e r c e d e s are thinking over a 4-cylinder engine for the CLS. If they decide for such an option, the aggregate will run on diesel and generate around 200 hp. And, America and Asia won't moste certainly not get the fuel saving 4-door coupe. 6 cylinders are going to be minimum there - 23rd August * * * B e n t l e y are going to unveil the overworked Continental model at the Paris Auto Salon in October. The entry model of the Brits gets a new front design. Besides a slightly revised grille, lamps will be similar to the Mulsanne model. Als power of the W12 engine is going to be increased - 10th August * * * * B M W decided to cling to the retractable hardtop with the next 3-Series Convertible. Stylistically the car will continue with the new design language introduced with the new 7- and 5-Series. Additionally there will be a 4-door, a 2-door coupe and a crossover version in the style of the 5-Series GT - 10th August * * * * P o r s c h e have obviously changed their point of view. In contrast to former statements, CEO Michael Macht recently said that they will certainly bring out a sports car with electro drive in the future. First steps will be three electrified 911s tested in the Stuttgart area from next year on - 31st July * * * * A M G debate on a further sports car which should be different to the SLS in its character. For that a middle engine layout is favoured to keep the car out of the SL's and SLS' territories. Power is considered to be around 400hp, generated by a V8. If this approach is pursued, it is name plate will most certainly be SLM - 31st July * * * A u d i are preparing an A8 model with front wheel drive and a highly efficient conventional engine producing 159g/Co2 per100 km. At the other end of the range, the flagship will feature gas guzzling aggregates, such as a high-displacement V12 model and a charged 8-cylinder motor labelled as S8 - 20th July * * * * Because premium models with extended wheelbase go down well in China, Audi and Mercedes plan to bring out stretched versions of even their middle-class sedans A4 and C-Class. But, none of them are planned to be offered outside of the Asian country. L a n c i a plan bringing out new models using Chrysler platforms and technology. Even relabelled American cars could soon complement the line up. Traditionalists will be pretty sad about such rip offs. Therefore Chrysler and Dodge are intended to be taken off the European markets - 20th July * * * * J a g u a r reportedly plan to re-enter the middle class segment. The bosses of Tata Motors and Jaguar want to bring out such a model - which is probably called the XE - as soon as possible to increase sales. Besides a sedan, an estate version is intended to complete the model line - 13th Junly * * * M e r c e d e s announce an S-Class model which will consume a mere of 3 litres of fuel. The hybrid car is claimed to be '50%-electrically-driven', as Daimler AG CEO Herr Zetsche said. Probably the green flagship model will be launched on the basis of the next generation S-Class in round three years - 13th July * * * A u d i are thinking about the next R8. The 2nd generation is also likely to share understructure with a Lamborghini model. The 911's was considered as an option since Porsche will soon be a part of Audi's mother company VW Group, but technical and strategical considerations speak in favour for Lambo - 26th June * * * * HOTTEST NEWS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . L o t u s have reportedly decided to top the Evora by a new super car. The vehicle could be labeled as Esprit - a name which had already been used for a sports car by Lotus. Since the Britisch car makers and Toyota are engine partners, Lexus' new V10 motor is rumoured to power the car * * * * R o l l s R o y c e are currently not working on an SUV. But tradition allows them making even this sort of vehicle. That has been remarkably claimed by the firm's chairman Mr Ian Robertson himself in an interview of the German car magazine Auto Zeitung P o r s c h e consider replacing exterior mirrors by cameras and monitors, as an insider says. The first to get this feature could be the Panamera and the next generation 911, coming out in 2011. Even zoom and a swivelling objectives are reportedly under consideration - 4th March * * * B e n t l e y could possibly get back to Bugatti's 16-cylinder super motor, as Volkswagen CEO Herr Winterkorn has lately said in an interview of Germany's leading business magazine. This will most surely not be the case before the post-Veyron area, we assume * * * |
