2012 Volkswagen Beetle

2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-turing-whiteSurprisingly, regardless of the model (non-US) crazy, RSI VR6 powered along by lifting the mid-cycle meeting, the hype surrounding the brand new Volkswagen Beetle would die down more than some previous years, and also the car is due to get a redesign. Right after all, it was still utilize PQ34 platform two generations old Golf IV, which will be on only in rising markets such as China.

2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-tail-whiteIn 12 many years, VW has constructed one.two million models with the New Beetle, using the U.S. becoming the single largest-and as a result most important-market. Not poor to get a compact automobile that began out as being a designer’s insane dream. Conceived in 1994 because the Idea one by J Mays and his group in VW's California style studio, it drew this kind of enthusiasm that Ferdinand Piëch made the decision to push to get a manufacturing model. In 1998, the brand new Beetle was released in the Detroit automobile display. Its boxy, yellow press package contained a flower vase, which was to turn out to be the trademark with the Beetle's inside. The automobile was as cheerful as VW's sellers, who lastly had a automobile delivered to their tons that they might promote for way more than sticker.

Volkswagen has made the decision to jump-start the trustworthy and do a 2nd version. Lovers with the cutesy compact can anticipate the completely new, redesigned New Beetle to become released subsequent spring and seem at sellers within the summer time of 2011 as being a 2012 model-the U.S. marketplace will probably be served initial. Beetle manufacturing will carry on to get location at VW's Puebla, Mexico, plant, alongside the 2011 Jetta.

2012-Volkswagen-Beetle-RedIn comparison with the outgoing design, the next-gen New Beetle sports activities considerably much more angular particulars, along with a supply that has observed the automobile describes it as "a sharper, more powerful, much more substantial automobile." The entrance finish attracts from your horizontal traces that characterize VW's present portfolio-without abandoning the trademark spherical headlights, needless to say. The aspect home windows are outlined, and also the rear finish appears much more effective than that with the present design. Nonetheless, the appear will probably be instantly recognizable.

Powertrains for this front-driver will arrive from VW's huge components bin, using the naturally aspirated, 115-hp, two.0-liter 4 most likely serving because the entry-level engine for that U.S. marketplace. Much more energy could arrive from your two.5-liter five-cylinder, but VW may also make the change towards the more compact but much more effective turbo- and supercharged one.4-liter TSI engine, which may make upwards of 170 hp, and also the turbocharged, 200- or 210-hp two.0-liter TSI from your GTI and GLI. This platform's prospects are nearly limitless: There might be an R model with some 270 hp, a return of a TDI design, all-wheel-drive versions, or perhaps a hybrid. Although the entry-level Beetle will most likely maintain its Aisin-designed automatic, the turbocharged designs will get VW's dual-clutch automated guide transmissions.

Even though engine options are nonetheless in flux, an extra physique fashion is really a certainty: a convertible will once more seem and is because of be released a yr or so right after the hatchback involves marketplace. Appear for that new New Beetle to debut in the New York automobile display subsequent April.

2010 Volkswagen New CarsVW introduces new vehicles for the Chinese market as it strives to restore its dominance in the region.

Struggling to keep its leading position in the Chinese market and faced with the task of keeping two very different joint venture partners happy, VW unveils two new cars at Beijing auto show that look familiar to North America and European markets.

The FAW-Volkswagen joint venture early New Bora, another iteration of the last generation Jetta, which was sold as the Bora in many markets and is always available as CityJet Canada.

VW Bora said New design is inspired by the Chinese lion dance, a ceremonial and athletic dance that is supposed to provide opportunities for attendees. design elements Lion dance are incorporated into the rear of the vehicle, VW says.

The New Bora is powered by a choice of two four-cylinder gasoline engines. A six-speed automatic transmission is available. We expect the Comfortline trim level with its chrome package will prove popular. The base model is called Trendline.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette C1-RS - Click above for a high-res image gallery

It takes a lot to win the the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award, but this custom 1962 Corvette convertible you see here easily deserves the honor. The car not only looks incredible, but it posted the fastest time at the Goodguys autocross track as well! Every single one of the body panels on the car has been modified, and the majority of the components are constructed either of aluminum or carbon fiber.

Powering the C1-RS is an LS7 V8 putting out more than 600 horsepower, but we were most impressed with the eight carbon fiber intake trumpets on either side of the engine that bring air into the intake manifold. The interior was beautifully crafted as well, with a custom fabricated aluminum dash and console and Alcantara and leather seats.

Conrad Grusewald has been an occasional participant in the Formula Drift series for the past several years with a supercharged C5 Corvette as his vehicle of choice for piloting around clipping points and narrowly missing concrete barriers while in opposite lock. For the 2010 season, however, he plans to step up the efforts with an all new 2010 Camaro built specifically as a drift car with Hankook Tire as the lead sponsor.

In addition to providing the Camaro for Grusewald, Chevrolet also pitched in an LS-A crate motor from GM Performance Parts that should produce more than 600 horsepower at the wheels. The car also features an Eibach suspension, carbon fiber body panels from Seibon, Forgeline aluminum wheels and more. Expect to see more of this car when the Formula Drift season starts in April, but until then you'll have to settle for our gallery of high-res photos below.

Renault board considering following Toyota out of F1


Things have never been this bad for the Renault F1 team. Their performance is light-years behind where it used to be, their star driver is bolting once again, their top management has been thrown out of the sport in disgrace, and its biggest sponsors are leaving en masse. And now, following months if not years of speculation, the French automaker could be preparing to cut its losses and shut down its racing team altogether.

Reports indicate that Renault's board of directors is currently weighing its options, with possibilities including maintaining its full participation in the series, reverting to acting as an engine supplier for other teams (like Red Bull), or following Toyota and BMW out of the sport before next season. However reports that the FIA is considering taking legal action against Toyota for breach of contract which locked the company into the series through 2012 could make the decision a little more difficult.

The anticipation must be especially gut-wrenching for Robert Kubica, who just signed with Renault for next season after BMW Sauber exited the series. One way or another, the company is expected to announce its decision in the coming days.
