La Voiture Noire, redux.

The idea of a "limited edition" Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse model is a bit ridiculous, considering only 150 examples of the wild supercar will ever be manufactured. Regardless, that hasn't stopped Bugatti from crafting a number of bespoke or limited-edition variants, including the new 2013 Bugatti Veyron Jean Bugatti Legend Edition, which debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Go fast, anywhere.

Audi says that the Nanuk Quattro concept, debuting at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, is a "sports car for any stage of life and for any road surface." That bold claim is made possible by the fact that the show car is a crossover with the wide stance and performance credentials of a sport coupe. Weighing in at 4188 pounds, the Nanuk Quattro can sprint to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and tops out at 190 mph. Better still, Audi claims fuel economy equivalent to 30 mpg.

The shape of sedans to come.

Jaguar's first-ever crossover, the C-X17 concept bowing at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, is really a preview of future sedans. The cesium blue show car rides on a brand-new aluminum chassis that Jaguar will use to build a mid-size sport sedan in two years’ time (it will go on sale in the U.S. a year later, in 2016). For now, the C-X17 crossover hints at the styling and performance direction of all future Jaguar models.

UK: Over air updates to slash recall rates?

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
Nearly 60% to 70% of the recalls in major automotive markets such as North America and Europe are due to software glitches. Volume cars have at least 20m to 30m lines of software code, while in premium cars, that number could be as high as 100m. At an average cost of US$10 per line, these electronic systems do not come cheap. Therefore, recalls will not only leave a dent on original equipment manufacturers' (OEMs') reputation, but also lead to multi-billion dollar losses.
