    Frankfurt Motor Show Spy: Nissan Mixim Concept and Micra
    2007-09-18 13:13:42
    2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Spy shot series: Nissan Corp.

    Frankfurt Motor Show 2007: Limited Lamborghini Reventon Supercar
    2007-09-17 16:53:00
    2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Lamborghini stand spy shot: Limited Lamborghini Reventon Supercar making a premiere debut as the all star of Frankfurt Auto Show 2007.Once you've finished dribbling over the sheer aggressive beauty of the Lamborghini Reventon, you'll want to know more about it. Shedding light on the F22 Raptor fighter jet-inspired supercar, Lamborghini told us it will share the same basic powerplant as the Murcielago LP640, but the 6.5-litre V12 will have 10bhp more, taking it to a massive 641bhp produced at 8,000rpm.Not one to ever slow a car down, Lamborghini has made the car completely out of carbon fibre except the roof and doors, so expect electric straight-line performance helped by Lambo's unaltered e-gear paddle shift transmission.Outright performance though, was never at the top of the agenda. Lamborghini has used the Reventon to test a production process that sees a car go from sketch to showroom much quicker by cutting out the road-testing of full-scale models, relying instead on CAD and small-scale mock-ups for use in the wind tunnel. This will see the Italian company capable of producing new cars on a much more regular basis, with a source claiming that it will display something interesting at every major motorshow from now on.The Lamborghini Reventon, although based on the Murcielago, features all-new body panels and aeronautical-inspired front intakes that aid brake cooling, whilst a new gaping rear diffuser helps to generate downforce. Excessive styling has gone into the cabin too, featuring a special TFT screen in place of the traditional tachometer, which projects either analogue readouts or a full-on jet fighter-style speed and rev readout.Priced at £675,000 pre-tax, you would have to be truly lucky to own one of the 20 Lamborghini Reventons being made, and luckier still since only 'friends and collectors' are considered as potential buyers. If you've not had the call, then it's too late, as all 20 cars are already sold, with one even destined for the UK.Related 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Cars Reviews:+ Frankfurt Motor Show: Lamborghine Limited Reventon Supercar+ Frankfurt Motor Show 2007: Mercedes-Benz ML 450 HYBRID+ Frankfurt Motor Show 2007: Mercedes F700 With DiesOtto Engine+ Frankfurt Motor Show 2007: Le MANSORY Convertible+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars Preview: Geiger Biturbo Corvette C6+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars Gallery: Ford nuova Fiesta Concept+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show: Land Rover will Be All MINI?+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show: Land Rover Goes All Baby MINI+ Frankfurt Motor Show 2007 Report: Fiat/Microsoft Announce Ecodrive Data-Logging Software+ Frankfurt Auto Show 2007: Toyota iQ Concept Spy and Pics+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars: 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG+ 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 Ticket Information+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars Preview: Audi A3 Cabriolet+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars: 2008 BMW X6, Image Gallery+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars: 2008 Audi A8, Image Gallery+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Cars: Mini Clubman, Image Gallery+ Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster Super Car On Frankfurt Motor Show+ 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show Preview, Image : Mercedes SLR McLaren Roadster Limited Lamborghini Reventon Supercar Image Gallery: http://del.icio.us/rss/horisly

One Super Motor powers the front axle and a second drives the rear axle, giving Mixim all-wheel drive.Mixim takes the most up-to-date electric vehicle (EV) technology and clothes it in a svelte and distinctive coupé shape.Its wraparound windscreen, inspired by the visor of a crash helmet, dominates the profile while the swept

    Kia has released a teaser image of a new concept car developed by its European design center that will be presented for the first time at September's Frankfurt Motor Show 2007.

    2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Preview: 2009 B8 Audi A4
    2007-08-07 15:12:00
    Audi will show the B8 A4 in 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show,Sept.2007, which had been confirmed by Audi sources at May. B8 A4, the next generation Audi A4 is completely redesigned both inside and out, similar to the Audi A5 and Audi S5 coupe in many ways.The new Audi A4 will utilize Audi's up-and-coming MLP (Modular Longitudinal Platform) technology which will form the basis of not only the A4 and A5, but the also soon-to-be-revealed Audi Q5 crossover SUV, next-generation A6, the as-yet-to-be-announced A7 and even the next Audi A8. MLP allows Audi to place the engine and transmission further back behind the axle and helps stretch the wheelbase without lengthing the car's exterior dimensions. Less front overhang means the 2009 A4 will be less front-heavy than its predecessor, a problem which has dogged most Audis for some time. The Audi B8 A4 will only be about one inch longer than the current Audi A4, although the longer wheelbase will make it appear to be a relatively bigger car. Front and r

    2007 Peugeot 308 RC Z Concept Coming To Frankfurt Motor Show
    2007-08-04 18:46:00
    French Auto maker: Peugeot will have two wildly different versions of the 308 on its 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show stand. The first will be the standard compact hatchback - replacing the popular 307 - but the second will be something else entirely. And this is the first official picture. Called the Peugeot 308 RC Z, it's a glimpse at what a 2+2 coupe built off the same platform could look like.The front end styling is taken directly from the production car but has been given a sharper lower section, incorporating the single air intake, chrome front grille, and integral front fog lamps. The curved shape of the roof panel and rear window manages airflow over the rear of the vehicle, creating sufficient rear down force to eliminate the need for a rear spoiler.The two centrally mounted rear exhaust pipes are integrated into the wraparound rear bumper lower panel. To achieve this, the rear exhaust silencer has been located in a transverse position where it also serves as an aerodynamic diffuse

    Mercedes Develops New Diesel Petrol Engine Will Show on Frankfurt Motor Show
    2007-07-24 15:06:00
    Mercedes-Benz is preparing to display several new frugal drivetrain concepts at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show, the latest being a new ‘DiesOtto’ engine that will be revealed for the first time later this month. The new engine features engine concepts that characterize both diesel and petrol motors, and promises to be as clean as petrol engines but as efficient as diesels.The technology is similar to Volkswagen’s recently announced Gasoline Compression Ignition system, which works by using spark plugs during start-up and hard acceleration, while relying on sparkless compression ignition, like a diesel, during low load situations.In an interview with Automotive News, a Mercedes official explained that VW’s technology is still several years away because it requires a special synthetic fuel that’s still in development, while the Mercedes will run on regular petrol.

    German magazine auto, motor und sport reports that DaimlerChrysler (at the moment Chrysler is still part of the company, if only legally) plans to demonstrate the steps it is taking towards improving fuel consumption at September’s 2007 Frankfurt show.The three principal Mercedes-Benz model lines will be shown equipped with an engine combination of Bluetec diesel and what is called a “mild” hybrid – no detailed explanation of the latter.The Mercedes C-class version, expected to go on sale in the 2011 model year, will do better than 47 miles per gallon;the Mercedes E-class, scheduled for September 2009, better than 39 mpg, and the S-class, set for 2010, more than 34 mpg. E-class sales in Germany are currently running at 71 percent Bluetec diesel.All this from the same company that builds AMG versions, which will pass everything on the road except possibly a Ferrari and certainly a gas station.(For readers finding conversion from liters per 100 kilometers to miles per gallon diff

    Volkswagen announced that its upcoming Tiguan soft-roader will debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show in September and released the first official photos of the compact crossover.While the Tiguan will arrive packing an impressive list of off-road options, it enters into a small-SUV segment in which the average buyer shudders at the thought of a rutted dirt road. Thus, many customers will certainly appreciate interior space similar to Volkswagen’s own Rabbit and GTI, to which the Tiguan is closely related.Buyers will also appreciate the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which will be the only engine available in the U.S. at launch—Europeans will have a choice of three gas and two diesel fours—with a 2.0-liter TDI turbo-diesel to follow shortly after.Recent Posts:+ 2008 BMW 6-Series Revealed -- The Authentic,Progressive Automobiles -- 10 Pictures+ 2009 Chevrolet HHR SS Spied Shot -- 5 Pictures+ 2008 Nissan Versa Spyshot and Price Announcement+ The XR-3 Super-Fuel-Efficient Hybri

    While everyone will be drooling over the new Nissan GT-R at this year’s Tokyo Auto Show, Mitsubishi will be getting ready to give the Japanse market their next-generation Mitsubishi EVO X.New information from AutoExpress tells us that the next-generation EVO X will have a pretty tricked out transmission and will cost more than the outgoing model.When they hit UK dealerships in February of 2008, 80 percent of the Mitsubishi EVO X models are expected to be fitted with a flappy-paddle gearbox with three modes. While the driver will still have manual control, they may choose from Normal, Sport and Supersort.The Supersport mode is mainly designed for use on the track since it allows gear changes only when necessary to keep the revs near the red line.Pricing on the next-generation Mitsubishi EVO X is expected to be higher than its predecessor with the entry level 300 horsepower model carrying an estimated MSRP of £30,000. The UK tune FQ versions will follow in early 2009.The 2008 Mitsubis
