New Dacia Logan MCV Ditches Third Row Seating and Becomes Mainstream Posted: 05 Mar 2013 03:57 AM PST Back in 2006, when Dacia launched the Logan MCV estate/wagon, their model lineup was limited, so they decided to have two models in one – a cavernous estate and a seven-seater MPV. The exterior styling and dimensions reflected this as well – it looked like an estate, but it was made extra-tall to offer the headroom MPV buyers would expect. Read more » |
A Photo Gallery from the VW Group Family Gathering in Geneva Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:04 PM PST Like every year, the Volkswagen Group held a special media event on the night before the opening of the Geneva International Auto Salon, where it rolled out all a selection of its world premieres. Two of the most eye-catching and talked about models were the Lamborghini Veneno and the Porsche 911 GT3 – coincidentally, the former to celebrate the Italian brand's 50th anniversary, and the latter the 50th birthday of the 911 series.

Subaru Previews New Design Language with Viziv Concept Posted: 04 Mar 2013 05:26 PM PST If we are to take Subaru's words seriously, then its Geneva Motor Show-bound Viziv crossover concept previewed in this image offers us a sneak peek at the company's future design direction. The styling of the three-door crossover concept looks like a further development of Subaru's Hybrid Tourer Concept 2.0 that was displayed at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show. Read more » |
Rolls Royce Brings the 624HP Wraith Coupe Out in the Open [Photos and Videos] Posted: 04 Mar 2013 04:52 PM PST This is the all-new Wraith, Rolls Royce's luxurious interpretation of a performance coupe. Revealed just hours before it makes its first appearance in front of a crowd at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5, the Wraith is dubbed as the most powerful and fastest production car ever built by Rolls Royce.

Hamann's Mirr6r BMW M6 F12 Coupe is as Shiny as a New Penny Posted: 04 Mar 2013 04:06 PM PST Leave it to Hamann Motorsport to dress up a BMW M6 F12 Coupe in a chrome outfit with more aero parts than a Formula 1 racer. Nevertheless, it could be worse, as proved by Hamann's other Geneva Motor Show debut, a tinted pink (or is that purple?) 2013 Range Rover that's lurking behind the sports coupe in the video from Shmee150.

Italdesign Presents Lamborghini V12-Powered Parcour Coupe and Roadster Crossover Concepts Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:42 PM PST Even Italdesign can't stray away from the SUV-mindset that has taken over the Volkswagen Group lately. At the Geneva Motor Show, the Italian design house, which passed into the ownership of the VW Group in 2010, will debut two new concept models for a high-performance crossover running on Lamborghini power.

New Porsche 911 GT3 Boasts 469HP, Laps the Nürburgring in Under 7:30 [w/Video] Posted: 04 Mar 2013 03:17 PM PST As far as celebrating a golden anniversary goes, we'd say that Porsche got Lamborghini licked. While the Italian manufacturer chose to mark its 50th anniversary by launching an ultra-expensive, outrageously styled version of the Aventador that will be made in just three examples, its German "relative", since they both belong to the VW Group, celebrated the 50th birthday of the 911 by unveiling the new GT3. This is the fifth model to wear the GT3 badge since the 996-series original. All the "right" parts are present and accounted for: the fixed rear wing, single-lock alloys, istinctive front bumper with air vents on the bonnet, wide rear wings (by 44 mm compared to the Carrera S). Under the skin, though, it's very different from what has gone before. Instead of the race-derived "split" crankcase "Metzger" engine, named after Hans Metzger who designed it for the 964 air-cooled series, the 991-based GT3 is powered by an evolution of the DFI (Direct Fuel Injection) 3.8-liter flat-six that's used in the regular Carrera S.

VW Imagines the Future of Delivery Vans with e-Co-Motion Concept Posted: 04 Mar 2013 02:29 PM PST The e-Co-Motion Concept is Volkswagen's vision of a zero-emissions, compact delivery van of the not-so-distance future, and it was unveiled in the flesh today during a media-presentation held ahead of its public premiere at the Geneva International Auto Salon on Tuesday, March 5.

Nissan Officially Launches 2013 Note B-Segment Hatchback in Geneva Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:49 PM PST Ever since Nissan showed off their Invitation concept, at last year's edition of the Geneva Motor Show, and announced that it previews the next generation of their popular Note hatchback, we knew they were planning a change of style. Sure, the old Note was a practical and spacious car, but let's face it; it was just a bit boxy and uninspiring to look at. Read more » |
Lamborghini Veneno and Its Huge Rear Wing Officially Revealed, See it on Video Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:23 PM PST While we can't really call the Aventador or the Gallardo 'conservatively styled', they definitely are compared to Lamborghini's Geneva showstopper – the Veneno, a car made to celebrate the Italian firm's 50th anniversary. They call it a racing car for the road, and while that concept may have morphed into a cliché over the years, we can see where they're coming from, because the Veneno looks like a stylized LeMans prototype with turn signals.

First Look at the New Opel Adam ROCKS Concept with a Sliding Cloth Top Posted: 04 Mar 2013 01:14 PM PST Here are the first real-life pictures of the new Adam "ROCKS", Opel's Geneva Motor Show-bound concept that combines select crossover styling cues with a rollover cloth top similar to the one employed by Fiat on the 500 Cabrio and Citroen on the DS3 Cabrio.

New VW Golf Variant is the 2014 Jetta SportWagen, TDI BlueMotion Rated at 71.3MPG! Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:49 PM PST After a slew of leaked photos over the weekend, Volkswagen has officially released the new Golf Variant, which will eventually be known as the next generation Golf Wagon, Golf Estate or Jetta SportWagen, depending on the market in which it will go on sale. Like the seventh-generation Golf hatchback upon which it is based, the Variant is considerably lighter than its predecessor - up to 232 pounds or 105 kilos, and this despite riding on a longer wheelbase of 2,636mm (103.8 inches) vs. 2,578mm (101.5 inches).

Renault Heats up New Clio GT by RenaultSport for the Geneva Motor Show Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:00 PM PST We knew Renault had plans to bridge the gap between the Clio RS 200 EDC and lesser Clio models, and here it is: the new Clio GT, which judging by the rear license plate, was developed by the brand's RenaultSport performance division. We say this because we don't have an official statement from the French carmaker yet, only these four images. Read more » |
Mansory Presents the New 691HP Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet Speranza Posted: 04 Mar 2013 11:39 AM PST Someone put a leash on Mansory, which continues to announce new models for the 83rd Geneva motor show. After the Lamborghini Aventador Carbonado, the Garia Mansory Currus, the Ferrari F12berlinetta Stallone and the Bentley Continental GT Sanguis, Mansory has released the Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet Speranza. And yes, we're thinking the same thing as you right now; who comes up with these names? Read more » |
U Spy: New Citroen C4 Picasso Shows Its Better Side Posted: 04 Mar 2013 12:51 PM PST For some strange reason we find hard to comprehend, at the same time Citroen is preparing the world premiere of the new Technospace Concept (which previews the next generation C4 Picasso) at this week's Geneva Auto Salon, the French carmaker is also circulating examples of the production model on European roads without any attempt to conceal their looks.

New Rolls-Royce Wraith Coupe, First Official Photos Posted: 04 Mar 2013 10:46 AM PST The most powerful Rolls Royce production car is a secret no more as images of the Wraith Coupe spilled all over the internet today revealing its "fastback" looks, less than 24 hours before its world premiere at the Geneva motor show.

Trolling a Russian Traffic Police Officer with a Talking Hamster Posted: 04 Mar 2013 10:32 AM PST For sure, all of our attention is focused on the 83rd Geneva International Auto Salon that opens up to the members of the press on Tuesday, March 5, but a little comic relief is always appreciated, right?

All-New 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 Breaks Cover Ahead of the Geneva Auto Salon Posted: 04 Mar 2013 10:22 AM PST What we have here is the first batch of official images of the all-new, 991-generation, Porsche 911 GT3, revealed in advance of the car's world premiere at 83rd Geneva International Auto Show in Switzerland this Tuesday.

Geneva-Bound Sanguis is a Bentley Continental GT Fettled by Mansory Posted: 04 Mar 2013 09:44 AM PST Compared to its other offerings at the 83rd Geneva Motor Show, the Mansory Sanguis, i.e. the German tuning brand's take on the new Bentley Continental GT, is pretty restrained. Then again, that's probably because the Bentley coupe is a much more subtle car to start with than the Aventador or the F12berlinetta that also received the Mansory touch and will join the Sanguis at the show.

COTY 2013: VW Golf Mk7 Wins this Year's Competition to No One's Surprise [w/Video] Posted: 04 Mar 2013 09:35 AM PST The VW Golf is something like the Daniel Day Lewis of the automotive awards: when it's nominated, there's a good chance it will win. A few days after the Irish actor bagged his third Oscar for his performance in Lincoln, the seventh iteration of VW's C-Segment model won the 2013 European Car of the Year award for the second time in its history, becoming only the second model after the Renault Clio to have done so. Perhaps the analogy is not exactly fair: DDL hasn't been nominated for each and every movie he has starred in while all seven generations of the Golf have been on the CoTY podium. Read more » |
Geneva Motor Show: McLaren MP4-12C Sings to the Tune of DMC Posted: 04 Mar 2013 09:12 AM PST This year's Geneva auto salon is turning out to be quite a crowd pleaser for anyone interested in unique supercars, be that limited run editions from carmakers like the Lamborghini Veneno and the Koenigsegg Agera S Hundra, or from high-end tuning brands such as Mansory with the Lamborghini Aventador Carbonado and Ferrari F12berlinetta Stallone, and in this case, DMC with the McLaren MP4 Velocita.

Kia Details 246Hp Provo Hybrid Concept that Hints at Future B-Segment Model Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:48 AM PST Kia seems really keen on changing their perceived image, and now that they've moved away from their 'bargain-basement' roots, and more into premium territory, they have realized that there's still a long way to go before they can actually match the brand image of their established mainstream rivals. The brand lacks sporty pedigree, and that's exactly what they've set out to change. First we recieved the Cee'd and Pro_Cee'D GT versions, which will inject a dose of much needed excitement into the Kia name. Read more » |
Is This the New Ferrari F150 Hypercar? Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:24 AM PST Carscoops reader Colin P. just dropped a couple of tips in our email box, both regarding the spanking new Ferrari F150-codenamed hybrid supercar. The first one is a Twitter picture shared by Charles Morgan, Managing Director of Morgan Motors, that shows a covered up car at Ferrari's Geneva Motor Show stand, with a man who…doesn't really look very pleased, running towards the person holding the camera.

Mansory Carbonado is a Twin-Turbocharged “Stealth” Aventador with 1,233HP Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:01 AM PST If you're not one of the three billionaires who have shelled out nearly five million bucks for Lamborghini's Veneno special, the Germany-based Mansory tuning house may have just the thing for you.
