At the Los Angeles auto show in November, Volkswagen will unwrap a new mid-engine sports car concept. This marks the third iteration of a theme that started in 2003 with the Concept R and continued in 2005 with the EcoRacer.
The rumors are starting to become true
Alfa will built its first SUV : the Alfa Romeo 149 SUV
The new project will come alive in 2010 and it will be in the same class as the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLK and Volkswagen Tiguan. The 149 SUV will be a sporty car with the Alfa branded design. The engine is thought to be a 2.0 l 300 hp engine
As we know Alfa this should be a great SUV
This would have the most powerfull diesel motor created by Audi : a 221 hp 1.9 diesel engine that will do 0-60 in 6.6 seconds at a top speed of 240km/h
Here is the Photo Gallery :

The new Audi TT Clubsport will soon be on the streets .
Packed with a 2.0l engine (taken from the S3) that unleashes 300bhp . This makes the Clubsport a very competitive car . Unfortunatelly we do not have a release date , but we will find it 🙂
All i can say is that the new TT will be a head turner , it is a beautiful car
We will get back to you soon with more info
Vauxhall launches the soft top Tigra ?
The answer is no , it is just an illusion
It is called the Sport Rouge edition , and the metal roof is wrapped in Red cloth. It will cost aprox 15.700 £ and will be available in 1.4 and 1.8 l petrol engine and a 1.3l diesel engine.
The Sport Rouge edition costs more than the standard version but it has more eyecandy , a new audio system , default alarm , and a wind deflector
Why buy a car with a metal roof but covered in cloth ? Some say that people love the idea of a soft top but will dot buy it because it is so fragile . The Sport Rouge edition has both and if i may say it looks perfect
At a price of 22,000 £ the new entry level Audi TT will be the cheapest TT on the market. Don’t be fooled by the price , this car can still pack a punch. With a 1.8 TFSI 158bhp engine that will do 0-60mph in 7.2 seconds this TT will be fast. The front wheel drive version will reach 140mph – now isn’t that a bargain, cheaper than any TT arround but still strong enough to be called a true Audi
Can’t wait to see this marvel on the road
The price for the new Peugeot 308 RC Z coupé will start from £17,500 and it is expected to be unveiled next year at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Powered by a 1.6l turbo 170bhp it will have enough umf to compete with Audi TT
The new will have a price of 44,900 euro. The S stands for sportier , equiped with a 2.0l 272hp engine it is more powerfull than the regular TT . (0-60 mph – 5.6 seconds) . It was created to be in competition with the BMW Z4 and the Mercedes SLK and it is built in Gyor, Hungary, .
A new look for the A3 hatchback : New headlamps , new interior and overall a more dramatic look
But the improvements are not only visual : new seven-speed semi automatic gearbox and multi-function steering wheel. New front fog lamps and the new A3 has different a desing for the alloy wheel
Both the Audi A3 and the A3 Sportback will have standard air conditioning and great speakers
This is indeed a car worth waiting for
The Audi is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 common-rail diesel, the first V12 diesel in a sports car. The engine cranks out 500 hp and an astonishing 737 lb-ft of torque, the latter figure more than double that offered by the standard, gasoline-fueled R8–and it all comes between 1750 and 3000 rpm. Audi says the engine is based on the 5.5-liter, 650-hp powerplant used in its Le Mans-winning R10 racer. Audi also says its engine already fulfills the Euro 6 emissions standard likely to take effect in 2014.
The first thing you notice is how different it sounds from inside the cockpit, like the inside of a small jet–air rushing into the engine bay from the enlarged side vents.
Audi says there is a 50/50 chance that it will be built. The V12 powerplant is ready for production right now–it will be slipped into Audi’s Q7 SUV. To make the engine fit into the back of the R8, engineers had to move the firewall forward by six inches.
Audi estimates that a production version of this concept would get 25 mpg, while still making the run from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds and having a top speed of 200 mph.
It is called the Audi Q5 . Q7’s little brother , and at a first glance it looks great. It was designed to fight the BMW X3 and Land Rover Freelander 2 and it seems they have something to worry about , the audi quattro four-wheel-drive system is something they do now have
Audi Q5 measures 4,63 metres, it is longer than the 2 but in the boot area the Audi Q5 is between his rivals , it has a 540-litre boot smaller than the Freelander2(755l) but bigger than the BMW X3(480l) also it can triple if the rear seats are folded. Boot space increases to 1,560l
Audi says that the car is very safe to drive , also the driver can tune the suspension on the go
The engine comes in 3 versions :
The price will start from £30,000 for the entry level model , about the high end models we do not know anything yet. All models will have a quality interior , wood , aluminium ,chrome and leather.
The gearbox will be a conventional six-speed manual and a seven-speed twin-clutch S on the 2.0T FSI and the 3.0 TDI versions. They will make a great team with the all-wheel drive audi feature
Mercedes GLK is ready to be launched .
The engine is expected to be a 3.5-litre V6 with a 7G-Tronic TouchShift automatic transmission. A diesel engine will be launched in the future , also we may hope for a hybrid version.
The car will be unveiled at the Beijing Show – Audi Q5 beware !
Only 1800 will be made , the Defender 110 SVXs will have a price of about $62,990.
