It is Known that the car is built on the modernized platform BMW 3 series and kept the overall architecture of its predecessor the suspension MacPherson front and rear mnogorychazhku will also be possible to establish all wheel drive transmission. The car was bigger and more impressive: up to 30 mm increased the wheelbase by 85 mm overall length has grown by car and 17 mm - width. Height remained the same. By the volume of the luggage compartment car "made» VW Golf and Ford Focus, with folded seats to increase capacity to 1,200 liters. And in the normal state of 360l. The base engine for the new BMW at the time of launch of a series is a new 1.6-liter turbo engine, which will be available in two capacities: 136 and 170 horsepower. It is equipped with dual turbo-propeller and direct injection, to reduce fuel consumption. The basic version of the engine can accelerate from zero to hundred in 8.5 seconds and a 170-strong modification will take the first hundred in 7.4 seconds. Another three have already announced the engine -

Ford Mustang and 4 cylinders

Company Ford has decided to please fans of the series Mustang and is working on a new line of engines, which will include a turbocharged four-cylinder unit with direct fuel injection. Developed on the basis of two-liter engine family EcoBoost, a new 2.3-liter four (according to the site The Mustang News), will receive a different cylinder head and be able to develop about 275 mustangovyh forces. Alas, before 2015, this engine is unlikely to be put into production. Also, the new line will include a six-cylinder turbocharged engine of 2.7 liters, which is one of the pluses is the ability to install both the front-wheel drive vehicles and on the rear-wheel drive. Most likely, the new engine will be strengthened Ford Mustang, Edge crossover and sedan Fusion, but not earlier than 2015. Five-liter eight-cylinder engine Coyote, setting the current Mustang GT, will be available for next-generation model, but gets direct fuel injection, which will improve fuel efficiency. Recall that the current Ford Mustang is available with a 3.7-liter V6 engine 305 horsepower, 402-strong five-liter "eight", 444-horsepower version of the same amount of Boss 302, and 550-horsepower 5.4-liter eight-unit with a mechanical supercharger to be modified Shelby GT500.

Powerful but easy - Audi R8 GT Spyder

Swift and powerful open supercar - R8 GT Spyder lose weight. This was officially the company said Audi . Such modification of compartment options was established in May last year, but already completely sold out, as was produced in limited quantities. Open-top version will also be a rarity, its release in quantities of 333 copies. The cost of a new supercar in Germany will be almost 208 000 euros. Minus 85 kg - this is the result of the fine work of the best mechanics Audi , the car now weighs 1640 kg. Stretcher engine, now made ​​from ultra-light magnesium, rear body panels, front and rear spoiler, rear bumper and engine compartment lid are made ​​of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, a total of minus 5.5 kg. By modernizing brakes, installing lighter wheels and other seats, car threw another 31.5 pounds. Acceleration from zero to hundreds of 3.8 seconds is possible thanks to ten-cylinder engine with 5.2 liters and output of 560 horsepower, which is paired with a six-speed robotized gear box R-tronic. On the decline, we get speed of 317 km \ h to cope with such speed to help the powerful brakes with carbon-ceramic discs and the stabilization system with sport mode (completely off). Soft roof on the roadster can be folded up to 50 km \ h and is able to do it for 19 seconds.

BMW preparing the 2-Series

One of these days BMW have registered the new name of the commodity M2. We all know what the M in relation to the Bavarian brand, but do not know how to apply it to number 2. Because BMW is not big fans to share information, we can only guess. At the moment, the basic version is as follows: the current first series was renamed to the second, in order to make room for something smaller. Smaller "penny", but more Mini Cooper, exactly, to embed the Mercedes A-Class. This conclusion is ripe on the basis of overall density in the line of the Bavarians - cram a new car between the first and third series have nowhere to go, and BMW 0.5-Series sounds terrible. Immediately reject the idea of ​​connection with the new project i3, dealers will sell them under a separate brand. However, assume that, in light of the anticipated revival of the original M1, the next generation of the current M1 white and blue propeller let the name M2, but then all confused, and the Germans appreciate the order. However, all this pales before the smelly ears, he says, youngest in a family of BMW will be (oh, horror!) Front wheel drive ... Just ugly duckling turns. Naturally, no spyware, nor even official photographs do not exist to speak of, so here's a picture of WorldCarFans.

Happy you, GTI

Recall that the Golf GTI in the year I turned 35 years old. Usually in such cases, the manufacturer produces special model and hero of the day getting drunk the whole. Other producers on the sly look at the festival, making it appear as if they are not interested, but the most vile, so generally accepted design competition. Of course, congratulating each other as they have is not accepted, but not when they are in the same group. Willy-nilly, Audi for a couple of Skoda had to make gifts - the first at an accelerated pace pile A1 Clubsport, sawed off the roof of the second World Rally Super 2000. They gave, of course not the roof, and the remainder of her convertible. The said named RS2000 and likely will spend the rest of century only a concept, as the Czechs failed to provide even tehharakteristik. Sorry, looks amazing machine - handsome, strong knocked that your pit bull, and does anyone know any other convertible rally?

Roadster Audi R4

Audi did not refuse to issue a roadster in the image of concept cars E-tron Spyder. But he will not before 2014, so as not to hurt sales of the TT model Third generation. At this point we know that car will use a hybrid of a new modular platform group Volkswagen and the front suspension from the sports car Porsche Boxster third generation. In this case the back of the Roadster Audi will be "radically different" in comparison with existing models of brands, but, as usual, no less ambitious.
