| UK Gets Peugeot RCZ Asphalt Special Edition Posted: 30 Jun 2011 02:00 PM PDT  Peugeot RCZ Asphalt In my humble opinion, the Peugeot RCZ is at the moment one of the most beautiful cars available on the market and this special edition Asphalt looking even more breathtaking. Available only in United Kingdom, this sexy coupe is based on the top-spec GT trim and is powered by a 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that produces 200 hp. The base price for this special edition starts from 29,995 pounds ($47,840) and features an exclusive Telluric grey finish on the outside, a black roof, 19-inch Solstice black alloys, black brake calipers and Asphalt badging.

| Mazda Refreshes Demio Model In Japan Posted: 30 Jun 2011 02:00 PM PDT  Mazda Demio Mazda's superimini, Demio (or Mazda2 as you probably know it), just received a facelift and is now on sale in Japan where the automaker plans on selling 6,000 units each month. As you can see, there aren't that many changes as far as the exterior styling is concerned, but the company says that they've increased the rigidity of the bodyshell and they've retuned the suspension, while on the inside, the Demio got materials of higher quality.  Mazda Demio A new addition to the Mazda2 range is the inclusion of the 13-Skyactive engine that according to the company, offers the best consumption level in its class. This power unit benefits from direct fuel injection, the world's highest compression of 14.0:1 and the proprietary "i-stop" stop/start system. In addition, it also packs some sort of technology called i-DM, which stands for intelligent Drive Master and not only makes the car more economical but it also makes the driving experience more enjoyable.  Mazda Demio As standard, the Mazda Demio comes with 14-inch alloy wheels or bigger 16-inch rims for the Sport edition along with Dynamic Stability Control that sports Traction Control System. The Japanese automaker estimates that 60% of the units that will be sold will have the aforementioned 13-Skyactive engine. Source: Mazda via Carscoop Post published on Rpmgo.com |

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 01:00 PM PDT  MINI Inspired by Goodwood It seems that the Aston Martin Cygnet, which is nothing more than a rebadged Toyota iQ, isn't the only car in its class with an incredible price. While the Cygnet costs a whopping $70,700, the MINI Inspired by Goodwood just got a price tag of $65,700!  MINI Inspired by Goodwood As of today, MINI is taking orders for this special edition model and the first cars will arrive in the UK starting with next March. As you might remember, MINI teamed up with Rolls Royce Motors Card design team for this model and they'll make only 1,000 units. From the outside, the car comes with a Diamond Black metallic finish borrowed from RR, along with 17-inch alloys that have a multi-spoke design.  MINI Inspired by Goodwood The most important modifications have been done on the inside, where the MINI Inspired by Goodwood comes with premium materials and features bespoke colors inspired by the ones you'll find in a Rolls Royce model. In addition, the car packs automatic air conditioning, Park Distance Control, Adaptive Headlights, MINI Navigation, Radio MINI Visual Boost and an onboard computer.

| Spy Shots – 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Posted: 30 Jun 2011 09:00 AM PDT  2012 Mercedes B-Class Our colleagues from WCF have been very busy lately taking spy shots of various cars that are about to hit the market in the following period. Their latest batch of photos is with the 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class, a car that I've always liked but can't say for sure why. Anyway, the one you see in these spy shots looks almost a production model, featuring LED indicators, a two bar grille, an upward sweeping shoulder line and a tailgate-mounted spoiler. In comparison to the outgoing model, the new generation looks to be a little bit larger so we  2012 Mercedes B-Class We don't have any confirmed facts regarding the engines which will be available, but expect to see about five gasoline units and four diesels. The gasoline ones will output from 108 hp (109 PS / 80 kW) to 201 hp (204 PS / 150 kW) while the ones running on the devil's fuel (aka diesel) will generate from 120 hp (122 PS / 90 kW) to 201 hp (204 PS / 150 kW). No word about the approximate date of the launch for the new B-Class but if it won't be out this year, expect for an early 2012 launch. Source: WCF Post published on Rpmgo.com |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2011 07:43 AM PDT  BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe was spied by the guys over at WCF who managed to grab a couple of shots with a prototype that was wearing camouflage while undergoing some tests on the streets of Munich. Compared to its 2-door sibling, the new model will feature a significantly longer wheelbase and it will come with "L"-shaped LED taillights.  BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe The German automaker will offer the model with a wide array of engines, including two gasoline units, two diesels, an M version and of course, a hybrid. In other words, expect to see a 6-cylidner, 3.0-liter that produces 300 hp (304 PS / 224 kW), a V8 4.4-liter with 400 hp (406 PS / 298 kW), a 3.0-liter turbodiesel that generates 204 hp (207 PS / 152 kW), another 3.0-liter turbodiesel that has 245 hp (248 PS / 183 kW), a more powerful twin-turbo V8 that churns 555 hp (563 PS / 408 kW) to 570 hp (578 PS / 425 kW) for the M version and a green hybridized 3.0-liter gasoline unit that sports a 54 hp (55 PS / 40 kW) electric motor.  BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe will have to rival some big names in this segment, like the sexy Audi A7, the even sexier Mercedes CLS and the awful-looking Porsche Panamera. The car will be most likely revealed this September at the Frankfurt Motor Show and it will arrive in dealerships towards the end of next year. Source: WCF Post published on Rpmgo.com |
