After a series of bankruptcies manufacturers of supercars are slowly returning to life. Wiesmann TVR companies found new investors and Morgan received from the British government funds for the development of eco-friendly hybrid propulsion systems. Now there is a high demand for supercars in the world – for example, 25 copies of very rare and incredibly expensive Koenigsegg Agera RS were sold out in less than a year, and the anniversary Lambroghini Centenario, released in honor of Ferruccio Lamborghini, was sold out even before the premiere.

Aston Martin DB 11

The new coupe Aston Martin DB1 should replace the model DB9. Skipping of the number was caused by Agent 007 – for the next episode of James Bond the British manufacturer built in a single copy of supercar DB10. There is not so much information about DB11. For example, according to the official teaser, under the hood of the car is located engine V12 capacity of 5.2 liters with two turbines. Thus, DB11 is the first car brand, equipped with a turbocharger.

Twelve-engine became a surprise: in 2013, Aston Martin has agreed with the Mercedes-AMG to supply engines for its supercars, but it was about the units V8. It is also known that the new DB11 has a virtual instrument panel, and at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Aston Martin showed a concept of the interior of the future model with a large touchscreen.

Dodge Viper

The legendary supercar Dodge Viper will be removed from production in two years due to a mismatch the new safety requirements. The fact that since 2017 all new cars in the US will have to be equipped with side curtain airbags, but close cabin of Viper does not allow to do this. However, supercar production has already stopped earlier due to low demand.

Initially the replacement of supercar is not planned, but the information has appeared now that the successor models for Fiat Chrysler could use the platform of Alfa Romeo Giulia. The New

Glamorous coupe Audi A8 long wheelbase is ready to steal sales from the Mercedes S-Class. Now, based on the next-generation aluminum A8 Ingolstadt carmaker is going to create a new rival Mercedes-Maybach Coupe and S-Class.

Currently, the manufacturer with the four rings offers a standard sedan model and version of the A8 long-wheelbase, but success in the markets of China and North America, Mercedes-Maybach, Pullman and S-Class is haunted. Speaking at the recent launch of the SUV SQ7, new technical boss Stefan Knirsch Audi said the company devises new derivatives of the A8 sedan “We think about it. The success of the long version of S-Class has caused us concern: whether there can be a business case for this in the future. “

The new A8 sedan will appear in the first half of 2017, soon to be followed by L-version, and only in 2018, may be – some other, even more luxurious options.

In addition, the family expects a relative by the name A9 (presumably, this will be an analog of the Panamera, the low and streamlined).

In addition, Audi can answer the Coupe S-Class by Coupe model, A9 (or A8 Coupe), whose inverse image was seen as prologue. If we continue the logical chain, it is possible an outdoor version of the A8, but Ingolstadt said nothing about this.

The current concept of the Volvo young family seems has not justified itself. Hatchback V40 and created on its basis pseudo crossover V40 Cross Country were sold worse than its main competitors: in the past, Europeans have bought only 81,000 “40”, whereas the results of Audi A3 are 199 000 cars, and “1” BMW and Mercedes A-class found their 120-130 thousand of clients (not counting the platform with the second series of models and CLA).

Therefore the fortieth family of the next generation will have a different composition: in Gothenburg were presented a full crossover Volvo Concept 40.1 and a liftback Concept 40.2.

You can’t go anywhere without SUV now – this is the spirit of the times. But with the liftback the company returns to the origins of its compact family.

Do you remember Volvo 345, developed on the basis of company technologies of the DAF vehicles division? These five doors cars were manufactured from 1980 to 1991, distinguished by unusual design with rear-wheel drive and a gearbox referred back, and over their appearance worked famous Italian Giovanni Michelotti, the author of the design of many models of Ferrari, a Maserati and BMW.

In appearance of liftback Concept 40.2, there are direct references to the model 345: characteristic kink of window sill line of the rear rack, elevated feed.

Although in general both concepts are decorated in the same style with the new production models S90 and XC90 – with sheered front

LED “pins” in the headlights, and a minimal amount of “extra” lines.

The electric version of Audi R8

Behind the petrol version Audi shows a more advanced “green” electric version of its supercar R8 e-tron. Equipped with a large T-shaped battery of 92 kW / h, structurally integrated into the central tunnel of the cockpit, electric car is able to drive on electric power up to 450 km! R8 e-tron has a combined charging system (Combined Charging System, CCS), which allows you to charge the car from AC or DC. The Germans claim to fully charge the battery does not need more than 2 hours of time.

According to a press release “vehicle capacity is doubled by 170 kW with maximum torque Nm 2×460” which means, R8 e-tron has two electric motors with 230 hp and 460 Nm of torque for every one, but a heavy-duty motor sports car is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds and reaches its maximum 210 km / h or 250 km / h

More skin for Porsche

Salon of Porsche should be trimmed in leather. It is in the nature of things. Nevertheless, the German automaker said that the more the skin does not hurt. He offers to cover with leather not only a steering wheel and seats, but some smaller elements of the interior too. And all this of course is not fee. The cost of additional finishing, depending on the details varies between $ 740- $ 2920.

We start our review with the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

Outlander is ambivalent: being created on the Mitsubishi Lancer platform, it has a rather modest wheelbase, but overall length is close to a D-class models.

However, in our review it still occupies a middle position by both the geometric parameters and accelerating the dynamics and efficiency.

The car has good permeability. This contributes to the very high ground clearance in the group – it is at the level of the SUV, while working suspension moves in passenger low. Advanced four-wheel drive is longer configured for excellent handling, rather than to overcome a heavy off-road.

Re: Auto Reviews by CarXus: 6:14pm On May 25, 2016
Outlander Sport – perhaps one of the few crossovers, which of course costs more than 30 000 dollars. The price for this vehicle is 32,200 dollars and it is for 2 700 $ more expensive than a car with a 2.4-liter engine, CVT and less sophisticated 4WD drive in close configuration, where there are LED headlamps with washers, navigation and electric drive of the fifth door.

Of course in its equipment there is engine start button, leather upholstery, climate and cruise control, 18-inch wheels, multifunction steering wheel with gearshift paddles, touch screen display, a rearview camera, all kinds of electric and security systems.

Outlander Sport has such exclusive attributes as a sunroof and chrome window sill eyeliner line. Hatches and panoramic roof: the pros and cons

Hyundai Santa Fe

The Korean crossover is the most similar to Mitsubishi in size, although it is much harder, but he is slower not only because of this, only.

Hyundai Santa Fe is diesel, and the power of its engine is exactly two hundred horses.

Both cars have a reasonably modest appetite and playfulness inferior to the Japanese and German, although the supply of traction of the “Santa” is the largest in the review. This is important for the cross-country.

Alas, most passenger ride height even with four-wheel drive and a good way of course is slightly inferior to the vehicles of known brands

US auto safety experts confirmed that the size is important.

Well, finally they decided to tell the truth! Experts of the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which conducts its own crash tests cars for the needs of the insurance industry, acknowledged that small cars are a real threat to the passengers in the event of an accident.

They conducted crash tests of 11 most popular compact cars of American market a year ago.

Cars were hit by the front part of the body, but not on the wall, and with a slight overlap of the obstacles on the part of the driver. It was found that only one car Chevrolet Spark has been tested confidencely. And the other “kids” were complete outsiders, Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris, Ford Fiesta got a bad mark “C”, and Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit completely failed the test. They did not survive the head-on collision.

During the tests was carried out punch with partial overlapping of the driver.

Small lightweight cars have an absolute disadvantage of the security. It is therefore important to choose the model that provides better protection of passengers, – said Joe Nolan, senior vice president of research at IIHS. – Unfortunately, compacts as a class can not show a collision with a partial overlap of the same results as a larger automobiles
