BMW have finally joined the 4-door coupe segment with their all new BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe. I say ‘meh’, looks a lot like a regular 4-do0r compared to the original Mercedes CLS or the exotic looking Audi A7. I just don’t think it’s ‘Coupe’ enough. Let’s see if BMW’s ‘M’ division can spruce things up a bit…
Ferrari have just upped the ante when it comes to aerodynamics. Ferrari engineers, implementing wind management lessons from their Formula 1 race cars, have reduced drag and increased down-force a whopping 76%. Wow!
Audi debuts another technical wonder in their latest Audi R18 e-tron Quattro prototype racer. I’ve always been a big fan of vintage auto racing footage and this clip certainly highlights Audi’s past technological accomplishments.
Check out this in-depth CGI view of BMW’s latest Tri-Turbo Diesel V6 outputting 381hp and 550 lb·ft. This motor will be packaged in the new BMW M550d X-drive. X-drive meaning all-wheel-drive for the ‘newbs’. A very interesting solution to stay in boost throughout the entire rev range.
“The future is now” quite literally in the Audi A3 e-tron. This coming year will be the year of the electrics and Audi is certainly not one to be on the side lines. While Audi has dominated in motorsports with their diesel R-series prototypes, it’s good to see an all electric in the Audi line-up.
No, it’s not a new STD you have to worry about… it’s the new supercar designed and built by a partnership between two Danish companies, Hermann & Brandt and Zenvo Automotive. The Danes have somehow pulled a rabbit out of their magical hat. The lines on this beast are nothing short of spectacular. If you scrutinize close enough, you will see some fitment issues, particularly around the front bumper area. Perhaps an engineer got too aggressive on the twisties. As a brand new automobile manufacturer, I’ll certainly give them the benefit of the doubt.
Update: Yes, looks like someone did make an expensive mistake
Give me a brake. Does Mercedes really think they can fool us? This is clearly a station wagon, no? The reality is, it’s marketing. The same way Mercedes spun the now ubiquitous “4-door Coupe” concept, it’s only a matter of time before Audi and VW follow suit with their own shooting wagons…
I Love Bass comes out swinging with this fluffer video promoting Dubshed 2012. If I had to describe that “first time fall-in-love” feeling, this video would be the perfect metaphor. 
It’s just a sign of things to come as the show season ramps up. The bagged euro classic will be definitely trending this year, I have a feeling. And inspiration is in no short supply when watching this video. (have tissue ready!)
