Peugeot is building a brand new sport scar, yes, you read it correctly. Personally I didn’t expect this at all. Peugeot and sports car, is that a combination? Well after seeing the images, I think it is.
The specs are even great too! Who could think about that?! (more…)
Next week on the Las Vegas autoshow we will find the Hyundai HED-5. This vehicle was already unveiled in Geneva, but without any details about it. What we do know is that they are working hard for vehicles that will be as green as possible.
The shooting brake-style Concept Fascination coupe predicts sportiness and practicality, with its munificently-sized load-bay.
It’s founded on the next-generation E-Class platform, and trailers the new-look face of Mercedes, with its remolded headlights and fiber-optic daytime running lights.
Its ultra-luxurious cabin is equipped with deep-pile carpets, lavish leather covering, wood finish, and aluminium and chrome trimmings and also includes a super-baling pop-up, fold-out smoked glass table housing a refrigerated compartment for drinks, champagne flutes and a cigar humidor.
This perception points to the titling of the next-generation E-Class, and also clues at a new type of CE-Class coupe. The 204bhp, four-cylinder 2.2-litre diesel engine will feature in the approaching E-Class range.
Honda will renew the Insight name, but this most recent model will be more practical than the original two-seat Insight.
The proposal is to make this a true challenger for the Toyota Prius. It’s an appropriate small family-sized five-door, five-seater, with cabin space uncompromised by its battery pack, which is put on underneath the boot.
The new, protuberant-bodied Insight looks a lot like Honda’s FCX Clarity fuel cell car, and even though it’s not much of a looker it does have one very alluring selling point – it’s going to be priced ‘extensively lower than any other hybrid car on the market,’ says Honda, which hopes to sell 200,000 a year.
In New York Saleen introduced the Saleen the S5S Raptor. A brand new super sports car that is still a concept car.
But within two years from now, this car will be ready to get produced!
Underneath his hood, there will be a big V8 engine, with 650HP. This S5s Raptor will be the worlds fasted sports car in the world!
Last twenty five years, Saleen made his name by tuning Ford Mustangs. In the year 2000 they have made their first sports car, called the Saleen S7. Because all of that, they weren’t only a tuningcompany anymore, but also a manufacture of sports cars.
To stay ahead of all the others, they produced the twin-turbo version of the Saleen S7. It had 750HP and went from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds!
By building this new Raptor with 650HP, they are trying to build an outstanding sports car what will be affordable. The Raptor is build mostly from Carbon, and because of that, it’s very light weighted. It would be possible to go from 0-60MPH in less then 4 seconds! with a top speed going over 200MPH.The official release of the S5S in New York couple of day’s ago, is only a concept car. But the price will be less then $200.000 dollars. That would be cheap for what you get! But we will see.

Suzuki is gonna take the fight against big brands like Volkswagen, Ford and Opel.
On the auto show in New York they have released the third version of the Suzuki Kizashi. A concept car that needs to be compared in the same class as the Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo and the Opel Vectra.
It will be a tough time, but with this ride, they will have a change we think at least 
On the 20th of March there will be a final release of this model, so keep an eye on it! Because we are gonna write an update as well.
