Porsche’s 911 GT3 R Hybrid may be interesting but since it’s only a racing car we’re more interested in street going stuff. And on that front the high-performance Germans came forward today with an announcement that’s way more interesting, because it’s regarding the 918.
BMW themselves admit that the 5 Series is their bread and butter machine. That said though, the 3 Series isn’t exactly far behind and with an update due to show up very soon in 2012 form Bavarian sales aren’t going to go down soon. The spyshots we have here aren’t of a “normal” 2012 BMW
I guess Toyota really needed something to gloss over the soon to happen recall situation on the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I guess that after people saw through the whole new plant in Japan plot, Toyota came up with this, they ended the wild goose chase of a Toyota Prius’ plural.
The well known social network is seriously getting around. It seems Facebook has gotten to be so important to automotive manufacturers that Porsche decided to do a special version of the 911 GT3 R Hybrid. The special 911 GT3 R Hybrid is created in celebration of the company’s Facebook page getting more than one million
Even though they are generally the first company to complain about environmental legislation and carbon emissions standards, Porsche does seem to be at the cutting edge of fuel economy for the performance market. Their latest product in this direction is the 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid, a car scheduled to be seen at the Geneva
I’m starting to get worried, for a while now, I thought Lexus was the sort of company you went to when you wanted to be bored. As it is, I’m now worried because I’m, once again, wrong, and it’s Infiniti the brand you want to see if you feel like yawning.
It seems that the rumors regarding a successor to the mighty Ford GT are multiplying by the month and also gaining more bulk. After we first heard about a simple possibility of the Ford flagship actually making a comeback, even in hybrid form, we now have reason to believe there’s more than just rumor in
With the Detroit Motor Show, we saw Audi’s 2012 A6 show us a very nice trick from up its sleeve. A hybrid version. It’s difficult to be the star of a show where Porsche unveiled the 918 Hybrid Racer, but the Audi A6 hybrid did attract a fair amount of attention.
Ok, go on, have your laugh, I just said there’s a rumor going round that Toyota may want to build a Prius pickup. On a serious note the rumor in regards to the Japanese rumor spreaders may actually have something going on.
After cherishing the recent sales success of the Toyota Prius, the Japanese have just announced that they think their hybrid synergy drive vehicle can make it to first place. That’s right, Toyota consider that their hybrid will be its top-selling U.S. vehicle sometime soon.
The Porsche enthusiast that’s booked himself a ticket for the Detroit Motor Show will be somewhat disappointed by what I’m about to tell you. Porsche’s appearance at this year’s Detroit Motor Show will bring along a new concept car.
I know it’s hard to actually use movie appropriate language in order to speak of a car, especially when it’s going to be seen at a specific place but the Porsche 918 racer helps my case. Should it really be at the Detroit Motor Show, as we’ve been hearing some rumors, it’ll definitely be a
I’ve always been a fan of technology. I loved it in pretty much whatever way it came. The Stop-Start tech however didn’t somehow strike me as particularly important but Ford reckon it’s vital.
The Lexus ES seems to have gone a long way from the Toyota Camry roots it has but with 2011 around the corner, the Japanese had to make some modifications. Happily, they didn’t take a cue from BMW or Ford and they managed to dispense some effort on the matter.
It’s been two months since the world of city cars was shaken by a Lotus Concept that wore exactly the same name. Since then, some paperwork has been done and a lot of management decisions have been made at the lightweight oriented manufacturer. This is the only explanation I can find for their latest announcement.
I’ve always referred to the Toyota Prius as the “Darling of Hollywood” but it seems that I’ve been doing it wrong. The little Japanese hybrid is actually the darling of… Japan.
2010 brought us the Honda CR-Z which came with a bit of a disappointment to driving purists. Everybody wanted a successor to the CRX, a true pocket rocket.
I will admit, as an automotive fan, I tend to knock off Korean cars as a breed but lately my beliefs have been put to some serious testing. This happens because the Koreans keep coming up with better and better products and the Kia Optima Hybrid is possibly one of the best.
With just two days up to the Los Angeles Motor Show it’s getting relatively clear that hints, teasers and such aren’t happening anymore.
