Jaguar presented at the Nürburgring Taxi XJ Supersport, who first prepared especially for the brand that the public can go and enjoy the famous German Green Hell but from the passenger seat, the steering wheel command of a skilled pilot.

With a striking matte gray finish, the XJ Taxi has a comfortable cabin with seating for four people, in which the details of comfort and luxury that characterize the model lost some ground against the need to strengthen the security of all passengers , they should expect speeds of around 280 kilometers per hour thanks to the powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine of 510 hp.

“The XJ Supersport surprises with its speed because it is perceived as a large and luxurious vehicle. And both, of course, but its aluminum architecture results in both stiffness and lightness, which makes it a great car for tracks. to emphasize this fact, our engineering team created this special version with which our pilots can carry passengers at high speeds and with all the security guarantees, “said Global Director of Communications for Jaguar and Land Rover, Frank Klaas .

After the uncertainty on the production of 16C Galibier or not, it seems that Bugatti has finally given the green light to the production of this ultra-luxury sedan. This manufacturer of dreams has left his intentions embodied in a promotional video posted on his official Youtube channel.

Since its official debut as a prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009, much has been speculated whether or not fabricate Bugatti 16C Galibier impressive. Finally, it appears that the luxury carmaker end yes it will produce and sell.

Although not confirmed with a definite yes, Bugatti has posted on his YouTube channel a promotional video of the 16C Galibier, which explains various exclusive details of the 16C Galibier. In the pictures, we see the extreme taste for luxury, elegance and high technology to the maximum exponent.

The trading price will be another of its features. So far, Bugatti has not confirmed the sale rate of 16C Galibier, but on the Internet and runs an astronomical figure: 1.5 million pounds, or whatever it is, just over 1.8 million euros current currency exchange. Almost nothing.

What is confirmed is not the driving force behind the Bugatti 16 Galibier. This work of art on wheels could seamlessly incorporate the mechanical heart of his brother Veyron, that is, an incredible 8.0 W12 engine capable of rendering four turbochargers 1,000 hp (1,200 hp in the latest version Veyron Super Sport). Confirmed ‘the engine of thousand horses’, the 16C Galibier would have more than twice the power of one of his hypothetical rival, the ‘mundane’ Rolls-Royce Phantom (the latter with 6.7 V12 engine “only” 460 hp).,

A few days ago we knew what it would be cheaper than the Toyota Yaris Hybrid, and today we have the first data concerning the launch of the Prius +, the minivan that comes from the Prius and offers great versatility with seven seats and size.

This is the fourth minivan hybrid model of the brand, and the third in the system have a combined HSD 136CV delivery. So get approved an average consumption of 4.3 liters per 100 with CO2 emissions of only 99 grams to a hundred. They are really good figures for a gasoline minivan, because any diesel vehicle of this size consumes more. Just do not cool as much as a Citroen C8 3.0 V6 or a 2.0 Turbo Espace, but the purpose is different.

To enable the third row of seats has been necessary to install a new, compact lithium-ion battery that takes up much less space, located in the center console of the vehicle between the front seats, so you do not have to sacrifice space for the seven occupants and luggage in the trunk, which has 505 to the height of the tray.

The only downside we can find in the price, which is € 27,200 (according to autonomous community support not included). It’s a high price when we find similarly sized minivans for quite a few thousand euros less if it is true that the buyer of a hybrid vehicle usually consider other things, is usually a different profile.

It is one of the top Spanish athletes, one of the best players in the world, an example for many young people around the world and national pride that does not tolerate jokes puppet. It is one of the wealthiest public figures of the country, and for some days, one of the hundreds of thousands of people in these times of crisis sell your vehicle, although unlike the rest of us, Rafa Nadal, not does necessity.

We have been surprised to find that the Spaniard tennis player announced in a popular Internet portal selling your vehicle Kia Pro Cee’d new, only 1 year. 11,000 km, with 5 years official warranty. Little use because their owners are always traveling. Do not miss this opportunity. Possibility to visit in Manacor, “reads the ad.

Unless we radically change the events to ensure that the current account remained static Nadal and a good growth rate, although someone might think so, judging by the rush to close the sale. And that is to expedite the process, the player gives the buyer a pair of snowshoes and your signature on the vehicle body.

The plot begins to be suspicious and from Hyundai confirm the double bottom. The sale of the vehicle must have charity. The 11,000 euros they hope to achieve from the transaction will go to an NGO, whose identity has not been confirmed.

Some discordant voices have criticized the initiative, accusing Hyundai to pursue commercial revenues devising a marketing campaign using the hook, always beneficial, solidarity.

Definitely one of the main attractions of the Green Hell is the ability to take a few laps in the BMW M5 Ring Taxi. In recent years, BMW M5 BMW Motorport charters to be conducted by the Nürburgring at a high rate. Passengers pay for a ride they will never forget, which is usually carried out by professional pilots. Sabine Schmitz – when not working with RentRaceCar – usually one of the pilots of this four-door sports.

After the death of the previous generation of BMW 5 Series, the Ring Taxi role was assumed by the BMW M3 E90 for a few months. For nothing is a disadvantage to shoot on the Nordschleife aboard a 420 hp V8 sedan, but it is always better if the car is the BMW M5 F10. This beast mounts a double-turbocharged 4.4 V8 engine with 560 hp. It can accelerate to 100 km / h in just 4.3 seconds, and being deslimitado, reach speeds exceeding 300 km / h.

The BMW M5 F10 service is already in the circuit’s most exciting and dangerous world. As usual, you can buy a ride on this dream machine. The price of a single ticket is about 216 euros substantial, and can be purchased online at this link. OK-Speed-Marketing is responsible for marketing the tickets, flying in minutes when placed on sale. The list of places is limited and dates.

The tickets are booked a week in advance, and every Monday at 10 am put on sale a few number of tickets. Until the following Monday there are again no places available. In the same link to purchase tickets are available the date the Munich leaviatán terrify four people at once. The car is decorated with the colors of BMWMotorsport, but it is a standard vehicle for the remainder.

Continuing the 40th anniversary of M GmbH, BMW M and Performance presented a special edition of its most quintessential sports coupe, which has dubbed BMW M3 Coupe Frozen Silver Edition.

These special editions are no longer surprise us, since after all, similar issues have arisen at this point. This time, the M3 Coupe Frozen Silver Edition is the tonic and M3 is presented as a limited edition and unique finishes that are only available in a total of one hundred units. Do you sign?

In the body, gives the UK BMW coupe Frozen Silver metallic paint, along with a black matte 19-inch wheels. Going further, we also found in the kidneys of Jet Black front and side entrances of the front fins also black. Inside, the seats are leather in Black Novilo, choosing alcantara steering wheel and carbon fiber elements to various parts of the interior.

BMW chooses not to fundamentally change the mechanics, but enough so that the suspension approaches the body 30 millimeters more ground, thanks to revised DSC +. The block V8 of 4.0 liters and 420 horses and 400 nm remains intact.

Two BMW, both completely black. This is how SR Auto Group and ATT-TEC present their two latest creations that are based on a BMW 650i that is nicknamed “Shadow Walker” and a BMW M3 convertible respectively. A new body kit for the Series 6, new paint, black details and in the case of M3 increased power that leads to above the 520 horses.

SR Auto has no effect on mechanical preparation to modify the aesthetics of the 6 Series coupe design with a less aggressive than his previous creation, the Toyota iQ presented last week, this time leaving Japan aside for tuning the BMW and a double dose of good German preparations.

Starting with the BMW M3 ATT-TEC, we find that the whole body of the convertible has been covered in black vinyl mate change is accompanied by some new tires in 20 inch design with a 5-pointed star and of course, also black.

It also uses some suspensions Inox Line KW Variant III, but where it really stands out this preparation is under the hood where it has resorted to a new supercharger kit signed by G-Power (priced above 11,000 euros) by raising the original power of the 4-liter V8 from the 420 to 520 horses are there in this preparation.

Making the leap now 6 Series coupe prepared by SR Auto, based on a 650i, has added a new body kit for this unit only, a special request from a client, which adds a look similar to the found in the M covered at the discretion offered by the black, as in the previous case, it kills.

The tires also are coated in black while the interior passes to combine red accents like door trims or seat upholstery with black. On the preparation of your engine no details, so we can assume that BMW has the 408 hp provided by the 8-cylinder 4.4-liter engine of the original 650i, capable of carrying 1,845 kg of the Series 6 to 100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds.

Two preparations Germanic and in addition to the long list of alternatives to the models of the Bavarian house, this time with a matte black as the star of the two BMW.

We are seeing the BMW M135i Concept, which anticipates the more powerful-for now-Series 1 and on the other hand the bodywork of three doors, still unpublished in the F20 generation. However, less obvious missing a detail has been revealed by the M division chief at Car and Driver.

Friedrich Nitschke has said that the production car will be virtually nailed to the prototype of the image, and will be equipped for the N55 engine (3.0 L6 monoturbo 306 hp). The big surprise came with the optional all-wheel drive will have that car, something unprecedented in Series 1.

In Series X1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 wheel drive is optional, unlike X3, X5 and X6, which carry standard. You can choose both manual and automatic shift. Today, only the 3 Series Touring and Coupé allows the combination of N55 engine, manual transmission and AWD.

You remember that I talked about the upcoming release in May Toyota Yaris HSD, and as we approach the time to see walking down the street are more concrete data. If when you speculated how expensive the first hybrid segment B was talk of “less than 18,000 euros,” we now know that the base price of 15,900 euros will be final.

It is launching a promotional price, and does not include existing public support for the purchase of hybrid vehicles. With these, now might stay up to 3,000 euros less in the regions where there are still grants. Watch out, because we’re talking about a very competitive price for a car that is part of Toyota’s policy of hybridizing Europe.

How competitive? Price of diesel is almost. The Yaris 1.33 VVT-i of 99 hp costs € 15,000 Active finish and manual transmission, or 16,000 if the transmission is automatic, diesel and the 1.4 D-4D 90 hp out of 16,000 euros with manual transmission, 16,750 euros in automatic .

Toyota Yaris HSD

For virtually the same, and you can buy the same car but a hybrid, without the driver feels great changes in shape or ergonomics, since the end of the platform that leaves the plant with Toyota in Valenciennes is the same as used for their petrol and diesel models. Below that price, pure gasoline lost benefits, and what gives the brand is the finish City Yaris 1.0 with 68 hp.

The hybrid is a car to take into account if we recall the features of the Toyota Yaris HSD: 100 hp that are developed by combining an electric motor and a gasoline 1.5 of Atkinson cycle, which improved from second rider on the Prius generation. Its urban cycle consumption is 3.1 l/100 km and combined, 3.4 l/100 km and emission levels of 79 g / km.

It is a very good choice for city, where you can take advantage of its Hybrid Synergy Drive remodeling. What road? Be seen. For now, with the data we have seems to be to leave the urban hide makes it a bit the magnificent potential that must now be ruled out as the classic problem of hybrids, price, traditionally more expensive because of the complexity of the system.

Speaking of which, who may now have a problem are responsible for the Honda Jazz Hybrid, cheaper hybrid to date, the price is 17,900 euros. And now that’s “less than 18,000.” Eye, because the battle for leadership of hybridization has just begun. Now things start to get really interesting.

A few days ago the Toyota luxury subsidiary serious mind is thinking of a medium SUV to increase by a range of models against the BMW X3 and Audi Q5, etc.. Among one of the plans referred to Lexus aims is to have an SUV positioned below the RX is not intended to be a secret but it is strange that this not yet on the market.
