TMG's Lexus LS-Based TS-650 Super Concept Debut

Toyota Motorsport Gmbh (TMG), the autonomously run motorsports associate for Toyota and Lexus, has reveal its first concept car planned chiefly for road use. The concept is the new TMG Sports 650, which is support on a Lexus LS 460 sedan and is set to make its community entrance this Friday at the 2012 Essen Motor Show in Germany. 

The growth of a road car by TMG represents a radical leaving from the company’s conventional projects. TMG was formerly dependable for building Toyota’s Formula One cars and more freshly has been structure things like the TS-030 Hybrid Le Mans example, Lexus LFA N24 race cars and record-setting electric example. 

Earlier this year news broke that Toyota chief were allowing for turning TMG into a presentation brand for road-going Toyota and Lexus models, similar to what AMG is to Mercedes-Benz and the M separation to BMW. While authentication on this move is yet to be made, TMG building its first road car perception hints powerfully at the opportunity. 

In fact, TMG has formerly confirmed to Motor influence that making of the new TS-650 could happen if insist was adequate and, in a statement, TMG boss Yoshiaki Kinoshita said, “This is a truly amazing car with unbelievable presentation; we are looking forward to hearing the response of visitors to this showcase of TMG’s engineering capability.” 

As formerly reported, the TS-650 packs a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine bring 641 horsepower (650 in metric figures) and 564 pound-feet of torque. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed usual transmission that’s been customized to handle high torque levels. It also has a physical method for sportier driving.

German luxury car maker BMW today launched the new description of it’s intersect model X6 priced among Rs 78.9 lakh and Rs 93.4 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The company which is facing rigid rivalry from rivals Audi and Mercedes said it will add new dealers and increase model variety to keep its leadership situation.

He said the company will boost its dealers to 50 by 2014 from 29 at their across India, while launch its largest dealer here. "We'll prolong to be sustainable leader in India.

Sales are significant, but not at any cost. We don't give reduction to push sales for opposition. With discounts, somebody can gain in short term, but not in the extended term," von Sahr added.

In October, BMW India had fallen at the rear Audi with sales of 790 units as beside the rival's 882 units, while Mercedes had sales of 732 units. For the April-October period this economic, BMW and Audi are tied at the top with 5,174 units each pursue by Mercedes at 3,651 units.

Jaguar XF-R perfect brute force and Luxury Car

Jaguar has had an extended and storied past, counting racing wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and iconic creation such as the E-Type and XJ line of sedans. The difficulty Jaguar had was the sustained rear-looking designs that had characterize their portfolio. In 2009 Jaguar made a very courageous move absent from the retro look of their models to a fashion-forward plan that would move the corporation in a new way. 

Basically, the Jaguar XF was agreed the task of stimulating the Jaguar brand and be a focus for people to the struggle company. The XF has been victorious in that job. Not to the same height as a similar BMW 5 Series or Mercedes E-Class, but the brand has enjoyed some wins, typically on the front of vastly enhanced dependability. Last year Jaguar went about a gentle facelift of the XF, and if you like the look of this big cat, then the high presentation version called XF-R is elegant and a comparative value. 

The facelift the XF conventional helped to advance on some conspicuous missteps from the unique. The previous car had headlights that were too unskilled; they didn’t look like cat’s eyes and integrated a round lens within the front cluster, creation it far also busy. 

This design has been efficient and the new front now looks in observance with the flowing shape of the car. The front grille has a superior opening and the XF-R seen here gets a meatier-looking front spoiler and extra-large air intakes that make this cat elegant and destructive at the same time. 

Other than a presentation setting for the diffusion, there are no added aids to assist the driver, or car, and I find this stimulating just a powerful motor and well-balanced rear-wheel drive podium. What makes this car convincing is the balance of influence and luxury for everyday use.

The roadster of Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

That’s accurately what you have with the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster, which has been exposed in full today and is set to go on auction in time for summer of 2013. Next to the sedan, it’s easy to distinguish Lamborghini’s newest adaptable. It has a unique upper segment, which expands along newly intended geometric lines from the detachable carbon thread roof to the engine hood.

The complex build-your-own roof used on the Murcielago Roadster, which the Aventador Roadster reinstate, Lamborghini expensive have gone with a effortless two-piece design that merely snaps into place. When not in use, the two pieces fit warmly in the car’s front storage cubicle.

As they are made from carbon thread, they’re not only sturdy but also tremendously light. The roof's total heaviness comes in at less than 13 pounds, creation it very easy to grip. In order to contain the new roof, the Aventador's rear support needed to be redesigned and now comprise an routine fortification organization for traveler and cooling vents for the engine bay. A powered rear windshield is also fixed and can be inferiority or raised depending on how a lot sound the driver needs in the cabin.

The engine’s hood wanted to be redesigned as well, with it now characteristic a central ‘spinal column’ and two pairs of hexagonal windows associated at the sides. Their purpose is to cool the engine, drain off rain water correctly and, of course, allow the attractiveness of the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V-12 power unit to be accepted.

Coming in for the 2013 replica year, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster features Lamborghini’s new cylinder deactivation system and engine stop-start scheme. It also gets a new Dione wheel prototype for the 20- and 21-inch forged aluminum wheels obtainable on the Aventador. They’re a little 22 pounds lighter than the average set of rims

The test review for Bentley Continental GTC V8 on 2013

For entry-level but barely base description of its Continental GT line, Bentley installs a V-8 in place of the customary W-12. Big B says expunge four cylinders advanced fuel economy, but we expect its aim is frequently to sell more very luxurious cars to more very affluent people.

Like the 12-cylinder, the Audi-derived eight-holer is impecunious with two turbo, packs the output of a nuclear sub (500 horsepower and 487 pound-feet), and push you in the back like a schoolyard threaten. “Individual V-8 growl” is listed as ordinary, but that sells it way, way short. With the top downward in this GTC, the noise under full boot was so hideous we checked our unsighted spots to see if somebody had unrestricted a kraken.

This enraged sound comes from a tech-heavy marvel spike with direct vaccination, alternator-based energy renaissance, active engine mounts, cylinder deactivation, a “hot-V” assignment for the turbo, and probably a couple vials of HGH. Note, although, that the tune here leaves impressive on the shelf: The same fundamental engine makes 520 horses in the Audi S8. When it’s not announcing itself aloud, a black lattice and red Bentley badges publicize the V-8 model. 

And it’s really quicker than the twelve. In this drop top, 0 to 60 mph took just 4.2 ¬seconds, 0.2 improved than we documentation from a 567-hp W-12 coupe that weighed some 300 pounds less. The V-8 GTC could put down a being a quarter-mile away in 12.7 seconds, were that person cool with being throwing from a car going 113 mph. The times might be enhanced with earlier, harsher shifts, but that would be uncivilized; if the routine engages components softly, it selects them perfectly. Fuel economies certainly advance, meaning 15 mpg in this GTC against the 14 we saw from the W-12 coupe.

The New Honda Civic Sedan revealed for 2013

Honda recently revealed a first look at the much-anticipated 2013 Honda Civic Sedan, in move on of its entrance at the 2012 LosAngele's Auto Show on November 29. The sophisticated styling of the 2013 Civic Sedan, which goes on sale at Honda dealerships across Canada on December 10, will include a host of safety, feature, comfort, chassis and interior styling improvement that will further define the top-selling Civic as the best car in the compacted class. 

The more upscale and best styling of the 2013 Civic Sedan’s front end includes a new open-mouth inferior bumper with a horizontal chrome accent and a sportier, black honeycomb mesh grille, attach by new incorporated fog lights on upper trims. 

The lattice is flanked by new clear-lens corner lights to provide a more premium look. The 2013 Civic’s more sculpted front end flows into a new, more deeply faceted hood balance by a collection of sharp new wheel designs. 

In back, a new rear bumper design and new rear trunk lid are capped by a clean, flat chrome trim piece. The all-new design of the taillights now carries into the trunk face, provided that a more finished and upscale look. The rear bumper features incorporated reflector treatments and a new lower diffuser panel completed with a honeycomb mesh vent. 

“We believe that joining a host of external refinements with additional feature content and infusing the 2013 Honda Civic with a more youthful and quality style, we have made the best-selling traveler vehicle in Canada that much better,” said Dave Jamieson, assistant vice president, Honda Canada Inc.

The Detailed Story in 2013 Lexus LS

This isn’t a dollar-theater kung fu movie; it’s really how Lexus brands their full-size sedan. The flagship sedan that begins the luxury arm of Toyota nearly two decades ago could use one too; for too long the story was subdued and longer than 1,200 pages of “The Count of Monte Cristo.”

That’s no joke moreover. Lexus is arrogant to tell potential buyers that the craftsmen who work on the interiors of the LS must also be able to fold one-handed, non-dominant hand a document frog. It’s not excess, it’s just advertising.

Aside from the front face, the most theatrical change for the LS this year is the enclosure of an “F Sport” model contribution that offers body accents, lower postponement and bolstered seats. The F Sport model is an answer for Audi’s gregarious S package and BMW’s M-packaged line, even though not honestly opposing with the uber-hot S8 or Mercedes Benz AMG cars.

The F Sport model, pretty, is a tip of the cap to the younger purchaser looking for a full-size sedan that doesn’t unavoidably lull one to sleep by purely sitting in the driver seat. As before, the LS models comes in two separate engine options, obviously aspirated and mixture more on those later and two wheelbase alternative, short and long.

The short wheelbase description is a bit of a misnomer though; the wheelbase isn’t really that short on a full-size sedan nevertheless. The LS usual size clocks in at 200 inches long, with the extensive wheelbase addition 5 inches to rear legroom.

The new BMW i8 Concept Car Born for Electric

The BMW Group unveiled a slip sample of two prototypes of 'BMW-i Born Electric', the next generation Concept the BMW i8 Concept Roadster, here as part of a world tour organized by the corporation. With its zero-emissions all-electric engine and a variety of 80-100 miles, the BMW i3 Concept is future mainly for city use. The company's worldwide tour has only New York as the stop for the US. The worldwide tour contains Rome, Dusseldorf, Tokyo, London, Paris and Shanghai. 

The BMW i3 and i8 will turn into the first purpose-built electric and hybrid-electric manufacture vehicles to be made above all from carbon fiber when they become accessible for customers in 2013 and 2014, correspondingly, said Peter Miles, executive vice president (operations) BMW Group North America, yesterday. 

 

BMW-i was launch by the BMW Group last year and is now in the procedure of preparing for the launch of vehicles beneath the brand in the next few years. With BMW-i, the BMW Group is combine its location as the most inventive and sustainable automobile producer in the world and is responding to the challenges of the prospect in terms of eco-sustainable mobility. 

 The brand itself is a part of a derivative dubbed 'Project-I' that BMW launched decades ago and brought jointly a group of top thinkers within the company to discover the future of mobility, Miles said. As street parking carry on to be one of the biggest dispute in our crowded cities and because the time spent probing for parking is a major reason for enlarged emissions and wasted fuel, we feel that our involvement with these innovation is a key constituent of BMW-I strategy," Miles said. 

Together with its quality electric vehicles, BMW also offers a variety of services for mobility. These are services intended at optimizing the use of parking spaces, the utilization of direction-finding systems that can access local in order, intermodal road maps, and car-sharing method such as Drive Now.

Audi R8 e-Tron Unplugs the Electric Car

Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen noisily and arrogantly called the Chevrolet Volt "a car for idiots". He spent the next numerous months back-tracking. But beneath those arguably forceful arguments, it was not possible to ignore a certain dislike that de Nysschen was expressing for electric and higher hybrid cars. 

According to our classmates at Green Car Reports, Audi has proclaimed that it’s delaying the crush of its all-electric supercar, the Audi R8 e-tron, which was due to launch later this year. The folks at Wired see the circumstances as a bit more dire, coverage that the electric R8 has been totally shelved, due to the high cost and poor competence of today's batteries and the information that Wolfgang Dürheimer, Audi's original head of R&D, put the e-tron program on the back burner. 

Toyota promised mixture and electric reports of every car in its lineup by the year 2020. Such vehicles mainly the Prius have been key in Toyota's continued enlargement, and the company clearly sees them as the basis for a winning future. 

Volkswagen has put Toyota in its highlights, aiming to overhaul the corporation and become world's largest automaker by 2018.

McLaren P1 Concept Car has Launched In Paris Motor Show

Here are some restricted renders of a likely McLaren P1 Roadster created for us by our friend Wild Speed. We can’t help but dream a little bit of what a topless description of the P1 might look like, particularly after our exceptional recent knowledge with the 12C Spider but more on that soon. 

 

The McLaren P1 Concept was starts at the Paris Motor Show 2012 just a few weeks ago and it takes McLaren back to the supercar scene for the first time while it’s iconic F1. 

 The P1 Design Study’s caption figure is the 600kg of down force it creates from well below top speed. That’s five times more than the McLaren MP4-12C, while uphold a drag coefficient of just 0.34. 

The vigorous rear wing adjusts by up to 300mm on a racetrack, and by up to 120mm on the road. The P1 also uses a DRS system, much like the Formula 1 car to enlarge straight line speed, but as an alternative of a flap, the P1 adjusts the whole back wing. 

 

The engine and presentation figures are yet to be officially released, it has been made attractive clear to us though that McLaren will use a customized version of the 3.8 liter V8 unit found in the MP4-12C. Power ratings could be over 800hp at 9,000rpm from the normal setup and around 960hp with a next-generation Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) boost offering a supplementary 160hp. 

This information could make the new McLaren P1 the fastest speed up production car in the world with a run time from zero to 100km/h in less than 2.3 seconds. The top speed will be hypercar-like, but wait small to the Veyron.

BMW X1 Facelift Launched in Malaysia this 2012

German luxury car giant BMW has launched the facelifted 2012 X1 intersect in Malaysia. The facelifted X1 that has been begun in Malaysia, which is a petrol loving car market, gets a 2 Liter turbo petrol engine. This engine is high-quality for a peak power of 184 Bhp and a peak torque of 270 Nm, which is a substantial improve from the older petrol engine that the preceding model of the X1 came with, which shaped 150 Bhp-200 Nm, as it was logically aspirated. 

 

The facelifted X1 also gets an 8 speed routine transmission, which is a big step up from the 6 speed unit that the pre-facelift models used to approach with. In India too, BMW has been advertising the pre-facelift X1, with the obviously aspirated petrol engine and the German luxury marquee will do well to bring the more powerful turbo petrol engine when it begun the facelifted model of the X1 in the next few months. For the Indian car market, BMW India will also sell the facelifted X1 with the 2 liter turbo diesel engine that force out 177 Bhp-350 Nm. 

 

This engine, mated to an eight speed automatic transmission, start-stop technology and brake energy renewal will be the pick of the lot given that the majority, if not all SUVs sold in India are particular with diesel engines. In the facelifted 2012 BMW X1, expect the 2 liter turbo diesel engine to produce more torque, with a 380 Nm production being quite likely, and this is 30 Nm more than the preceding torque figure of 350 Nm.

Apart from start-stop technology and the 8 speed sludge box, the 2012 BMW X1 will get a small makeover on the exterior with new headlamps and a front shock absorber. On the inside, the dashboard and the center console of the facelifted X 1 will get and renew to bring it up to times. These changes disjointedly, the X1′s profile and overall looks will be alike to the older model.

Toyota Avalon Concept Car Release on 2013

Toyota has just made a very exhilarating declaration; this is not about future cars or electric vehicles but about the new Avalon sedan that will go to SEMA later on this month. Japanese automakers have equipped three tuned edition of the 2013 Toyota Avalon concept to introduction later this month at the 2012 SEMA Show. Fascinatingly, one of the Avalon tuned edition was also developed by Toyota Racing Development (TRD). 

 

The first conception comes with the 2013 Toyota Avalon TRD version is powered by a supercharger 3.5-liter V6 engine, but unfortunately, there is no in order about the horsepower shaped by this car. 

Built by Toyota Racing expansion, the 2013 Avalon TRD version gets some new utensils to get better the handling such as, suspension enclose and big brake system with six-piston (front) & four-piston (rear) calipers. 

 Exterior, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) provide attractive touch with maroon shade on the exterior, absolute with tinted taillights, color-keyed grille and dual fatigue with refined mufflers. In adding, the Avalon TRD concept also reimbursement from new 19-inch wheels with Michelin tires (225/40R19). 

For inner, you will find some interior features such as a red stitching touch on the gadget and door panels, seats red cover and inflection piping, JBL Green Edge surround-sound system and more. 

Toyota New FT-BH Concept Car

Toyota FT-Bh Concept the features of tomorrow’s Prius C? Not accurately, but you can bet you’ll see lots of its plan into the next generation of Toyota’s Prius fleet. As cool as the idea is for dense natural gas (CNG) to restore dirty gasoline engines, I don’t think it will make its method into showrooms anytime soon. Not to say that it won’t occur, the carbon trail of CNG is one of the lowest of any flammable fuel; it’s clean and green to say the least. 

Toyota asserts that the Toyota FT-Bh Concept (which is a plug-in hybrid) can get up to 134.5 mpg. That’s powerful good considering how low its carbon track is. Toyota FT-Bh considers 1,733 lbs. To put that into viewpoint, the Mazda MX5 (Miata) weighs well over 2,000 lbs or as much as Honey Boo Boo’s character.

Light compound materials and luxurious alloys would make the Toyota FT-Bh Concept too luxurious for its target demographic as things stand, so slighter cheaper resources will (most likely) bring the weight earlier to a ton. 

 

Although the interior surround many design features that are concept car typical, we can see a few rudiments that may make it to the next batch of Prii. The center comfort, steering wheel and center display look manufacture ready. The wicker-look on the panels? Naw, not so a great deal. Still, the pillars, doors and wheel seem production gracious too. 

 Check out the piece in the front fender of the Toyota FT-Bh Concept that’s a design constituent right out of the Nissan GTR’s plan book. How about that rear end with the incorporated taillights? Yep, that looks like amazing destine for production soon. It’s both aerodynamic and practical the way Toyota likes it.
