The Kuga Individual spreads down sharply higher with stirrups and rounded up with the spoiler on the roof of the tailgate. The bright white color is present in these parts, and also in the wheel arches, the trims or mirrors.

The mark of the star has taken this opportunity to introduce the S 600 Guard Pullman, whose use is primarily focused on heads of state, royalty and leaders of large companies.
The creation of a limousine is not as simple as adding a section in the center of the car for longer and less in the event of an armored vehicle. Although it is based on the S 600, while its suspension as structural elements had to be reviewed to ensure both the integrity and stability of the whole.

Strangely, the body of the Fabia Spirit can only be "colored" white or red, when one would expect more variety in tone or exclusive. But where it really is the chicha is in the equipment, which highlights the multimedia section. A team Dance Radio CD with 8 speakers and audio connection for iPod or MP3 players without doubt improved this paragraph.

Elements such as adjustable steering wheel height and depth, or the onboard computer will make life easier for the driver while passengers also enjoy air conditioning and rear head restraints in the third.

Alfa Romeo 8C GTA, apparent spy photos
The stories about the Alfa Romeo 8C GTA, and sobrepotenciada a limited version of the 8C Competizione, have increased following the emergence of these spy images. They were taken in Nürburgring, of course, and given few changes are appreciated: change in the front grilles, some in black strips in front fins and a different alloy wheels.
Alfa Romeo 8C
Is it sufficient to say that this is the GTA? In all, but it is quite possible given a number of factors. On the one hand, the mark its 100th year and a senior executive of Alfa Romeo indicated that there would be a surprise with a very special Alfa and Alfa Romeo on the other side might want to get on the bandwagon of the most sports. An estimated 500 hp will power, although the exact engine is still a mystery. Some sources speak of an improved version of the 4.7 liter V8’s own 8C and other argue the possibility of incorporating the 4.3 liter V8 belonging to Ferrari California.

Autogespot already speaks of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 as a rival to beat on this 8C GTA, even before it is confirmed. Despite many factors that influence to see "what is faster," we can get an idea with some data. The 8C GTA will have 500 bhp under the hood and about 1430 kg, after a substantial weight loss, while the LP560-4 argues 560 hp and a weight of 1410 kg.
100 units are those made of this model according to most sources, in keeping with the birthday of the Italian brand.

Dodge EV, a prototype electric coupe
Chrysler has made its headquarters in Auburn three prototypes of electric vehicles, including the Dodge EV. Everything is part of a plan to put on the market one of these models, struggling for growth in the sector of the electric sports. Initially had his sights on the U.S. market, but say that later would jump to the old continent.
Dodge EV
Upon seeing the pictures and read Dodge EV keep thinking is inevitable, what is this model of Dodge? None, as it is a modification of the Lotus Europa, but with logos of Dodge and sporting stickers. So we are faced with a two-seater coupe, and with very slight pull back but this time propelled by an electric motor. There are three parts to transform energy into force of movement: a stack of lithium-ion batteries, electric motors and a controller integrated energy.
The resulting energy to the motor through the first driver to obtain an output of 268 hp, and like most such engines, a couple astronomical compared with the power: 650 Nm. Dodge estimates that the EV can reach a maximum of 196 km / h and rolled up to 100 km / h in under 5 seconds. The autonomy estimated ranges between 240 and 320 km, which psychologically increases come into effect plug-in: Through a connection of current batteries can be recharged in about 4 hours at 220 V.
Dodge EV
At this point it is impossible not to think in two models: the Zeo Concept, a prototype four-door coupe in which Dodge installed this technology, and Testa EV Roadster, a prime example of electric sport utility vehicles. The latter still "flowing" ahead with its 352 km of autonomy and its improved services, while it has a load of batteries 8 hours at 220 V. There are few data to compare but begins to have a major rivalry in the segment.
As for visual style, plus the adaptation Lotus-Dodge in contrast black and yellow, there is a characteristic wing and inside a range of carbon fiber inserts and a three-spoke steering wheel with the initials EV on the inside.

Aston Martin Vantage for Hamann
Hamann is expanding its list of brands being prepared. To his credit already have a Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini among the most sporting or BMW, Mini and Land Rover among the "more" mundane. Now it has expanded its work to mark the British Aston Martin sports, in addition to starting a dish: the V8 Vantage, in its coupe and cabriolet versions.
Aston Martin
Have needed only a small change to boost the engine’s V8 Vantage, using a vent made of stainless steel to build up to 20 hp more. Set such a discreet change, the center of gravity is reduced to 3 cm and 2 cm behind the front thanks to some special docks for the suspension. The wheels are chosen by about Hamann Edition Race with a diameter of 21 inches, having already used on other occasions for the Stallion Porsche 911 Turbo or the BMW M3 Coupe.
Aston Martin Vantage
The accessories that complete the bodywork, all developed in carbon fiber, are exacerbated to the ground, both in the front two rooms in the rear with a diffuser of three parts. Unlike in other preparations, the stirrups are rounded side, strengthening the image of a dead body fragments. To finish LeMans GT there is the option to incorporate an air inlet on the roof and show a more "competitive".
Aston Martin Vantage for Hamann
We have no photographs of the interior, but we know that have included a set of aluminum pedals and a choice of a new skin available for the trim panels and seats. An exquisite detail is given by the rests or mats, which are covered with a velvet with pearl wound.

Fiat 500 by Diesel
Let no one be confused, this is not a version with a new diesel engine. This is an agreement between the group and the Italian brand Diesel clothing to create a Fiat 500 with a design very special. This "Urban Survival Vehicle," which is as well known as Fiat, will respond to a major print run of 10,000 units per year which will attract a large audience that can be found in this version of the mini four seats personality and a different interior environment.
The photographs presented so far are very impressive and we are talking about a model that will need to talk. Three colors to choose from, green, black and brown Diesel, found a perfect combination with a 16-inch tires that focus the attention not only because of its aesthetics with rivets on the edge, but by its interior of an Indian stamped with the slogan of the brand "Only the brave." The front is a rectangular grid to form a honeycomb of bees.
The metal everywhere, stressing that adorn its two front doors, the front, behind and tailgate. In frames in the B-pillar are three small gills over the logo of Diesel Jeans, which is repeated at other points in the bar located below the rear window.
Fiat 500
Faced with a brand devoted to the textile sector, was expected to rise a trim. Since the seats at the wheel or the sleeve of the gear is shared with a dark skin sewing lines in yellow, a duo known for cowboys of the mark. The seats themselves are on the side with another detail taken from the pants, a jean pocket.
Fiat 500 by Diesel
The details certainly the most significant are indicative of the driver panel, which changes its graphics and lighting, in an indication of the position of the marches as a stamp metallized outside the lever or the plates located at the foot of the gate with the logo "For Successful Living" (who would say "for a successful life" in our language).
Now comes to the market, at least into Italian, with the full range of engines available and at a price of between 15,000 and 17,000 euros.

Lancia Ypsilon Versus
Among other developments, Lancia will lead to a Mondial Automobile Ypsilon quite different from the market, with almost a prototype. Nothing could be further from reality, it is a collaboration between the Italian and Versus, a division of Versace Group. The small utility, three doors and four seats, you receive a very special design limited to only 500 units of the same will see the light in the middle of next year.

Despite the bronze Bronzino paint that coats your body is difficult to avoid fixed on the ceiling and at the gate where the logo is stamped on Versus. Trims some lateral play to provide a visual connection with alloy wheels, but design known in tone and bronze in a size 16 ". Both the grille as the external protections, like the handles of the doors, follow the line of shade from the rest. The visual sensation is well orchestrated.
The hue of bronze leads into the interior to various shades darker, and extolling the source "fashion" of the small. The seats upholstered collected a triple, consisting of an interior with the logo of Versus and repeated padding, a more visual texture exterior with wooden headrests and a more level. The relief identifying Versus extends to the door panels or the instrument panel, again in combination with the plates resplendent hue in the door or the knob of the change.
You could say it’s a partnership that worked most of Momo Design but less than that made by Diesel in the Fiat 500.

Mercedes GLK’s preparations for the EMS
The EMS will see the light of at least four preparations on the steep Mercedes SUV, the GLK. The American concentration to be held in November will see four firms struggling to highlight their work on the German model, although there is a tradition that at least deserves an honorable mention.
Brabus kit offers an aggressive but cultivated, with their traditional alloy wheels in star larger emphasis on the whole. The front deserves a mention for his great opening to the passage of air, ready in three stages, and its LED daytime running lights (like the Porsche 911 Carrera). In a display of originality, about 300 GLK BlueTec of departure have added some inlets side quite marked. In the absence of more data, we will have to imagine a game and trailed to a modification of the engine quite important.
Mercedes GLK's
Customs Boulevard offers a clear vision coarser called Four Corners Rock Crawler. The voluminous effect that creates the relief of the defense adjusts well to the wheel geometry, in extreme cases also by the effect of the grill rack with cross bars without. I find it particularly "very square" (speaking in silver), except for its "wheel truck" 26 "in diameter.
Urban Whip (urban scourge) is the name of the preparation of the Legendary Motor Cars and one might say that is the most range of all the preparations. High-profile tires on wheels more opaque, a structure of protective anti bars at the front or four extra lights on the ceiling "light up" to this preparation.
Mercedes GLK's Photo
The last gem the other represents RENNtech with no-name version. It is balanced and apparently the lowest of all. It combines a clear tone brown with red claws visible on the brakes. Tires multiradiales more about sports and gills at the height of the pillar A fairly supine.
You may see some new surprise, perhaps, to bring a little more order to force.

This engine is also present in the Audi A6, department 290 bhp, and for the new S4 offers an output of 333 hp. Its structure gives a turbine with maximum torque of 440 Nm that are shared by the 2500 and 4850 rpm. Although this engine is less powerful than the V8 of 344 hp and 410 Nm of the previous edition, improving its efficiency and develops a couple more constant.

Serial link to a six-speed manual box but has the option of the S-Tronic, a semi-automatic double-clutch and 7 speed. Quattro drive distributes the power in a permanent record of 40/60 front and rear, varying according to need. As a complement to the passage of a curve and lost traction, has installed a spread sporty.
Audi S4 Wagon
With the difference in power and weight, the S4 is not far from the RS6 in benefits. The sedan reaches 100 km / h in only 5.1 seconds (half a second less than the previous S4) while the maximum speed stays at 250 km / h, limited electronically of course. The constancy of force was out in recoveries, with 80 to 120 km / h in 4.4 seconds scarce.
Audi S4 Sedan
Of course the advantages of the quantum leap from the V8 to V6 do not stay in better benefits, but their efficiency is much higher. 3.4 liters of fuel are those that separate the averages of previous and the new S4, beset sedan in the consumption of 9.7 l/100 km and the family of 9.9 l/100 km combined cycle.
The arrival of both the S4 body to the market will occur in the month of March next year, at a price that has not yet been reported.

This renovation is set to either popular model, which offers a different design from that of the rest of compact and fits in a very "alfista" three or five doors. The sight of the 149 is scheduled for the Hall of Frankfurt and putting them into brand in Europe from the middle of next year.
Deepening since the most essential part, the platform would be the same as the Fiat Bravo and the Lancia Delta that would give him a battle of about 2.6 meters.

Ford Mondeo Sportbreak more aggressive thanks to Rieger

Rieger Tuning bet on the terminations striking for the Ford Mondeo family saloon Sportbreak. The black color helps in part to distinguish a finish more fierce, but are the traditional accessories that make the difference.
Although the optical or leaves without touching the radiator grille, and only the use of a front spoiler with more peak to provide a different image, with its central part in carbon fiber. In side view, some tires multiradiales aspect of metalized and offer a large wheel profile as low so far in the American model, not to mention helping to give greater presence of bulky side stirrups and tinted rear moons.

The German coach prefers not to abuse the carbon and the last place where it is used in the sports broadcaster, which in principle can not be overstated. Perhaps the fact that they were "planted" next to four exhaust pipes is somewhat exaggerated.
