2010 Hyundai ix35 Official Revealed
The first undisguised images of the all-new Hyundai ix35 are already released. The new C-segment crossover showcases the new ‘fluidic sculpture’ design language of the Hyundai brand. Like we wrote last week, the ix35 will replace the popular Tucson – one of Europe’s best-selling SUVs – and will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.
According to Hyundai, the all-new ix35 design lines will be carried over to other new models from the brand, and the hexagonal grille will become a recognisable family attribute.
The new Hyundai ix35 combines enhanced aerodynamics, sleeker styling and refined powertrain in order to deliver better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions than rival SUVs.
2009 Sportec Audi TT RS Official Detail
Sportec didn’t miss the new Audi TT RS. They launched Stage One engine performance upgrade for the turbocharged five cylinder engine of the small sports car. Seems like horse powers are never enough? If you think so, you should definitely try this upgrade for your TT RS. Just an ECU remap, but the results are more than satisfying.
Originally, the Audi TT RS’s 2.5 litre TFSI engine produces 335bhp at 5400 rpm and 450Nm at 1600rpm.
Stage One Performance upgrade boost up the beast to 400bhp at 5800rpm and 543 Nm at 2650rpm. The result is 0-100 kmh in just 4.2 seconds and top speed more than 155mph.
Exceptional figures for only £1200.00. The performance package is available from the official importer APS of Brackley. Stage one comes with official cover of the manufacturer’s warranty.
Because of the strong customer demand, Audi TT RS is currently in development at Sportec’s base in Hori, Switzerland.
2010 Maserati GranCabrio Official Revealed
The Maserati GranCabrio, the first four-seater convertible in the Trident carmaker’s history, will make its world wide debut on September 15 at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. The introduction of the Maserati GranCabrio – the Trident’s third prong – completes Maserati’s product line-up that now consists of three different families of models: Quattroporte, GranTurismo, GranCabrio.
The Maserati GranCabrio represents the very essence of Maserati in terms of open-top cars. It’s a Maserati in the purest sense of the word: from the unmistakable style by Pininfarina to the spacious interior, from the craftsmanship of each detail to the driving pleasure and performance. The Maserati GranCabrio enriches all five senses in a shared open-air experience, without sacrificing comfort and performance. A dream car designed and built for men and women who love to live life in an understated – though sophisticated – manner. Like all the made in Maserati open-top convertibles: special cars aimed at refined connoisseurs.
In fact the Maserati GranCabrio is continuing the Maserati tradition in open-top cars, joining models that have played such an important part in the Modena carmaker’s history such as the 1950 A6G Frua Spyder, 1960 3500GT Vignale Spyder, 1964 Mistral Spyder, 1968 Ghibli Spyder and 2001 Spyder designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car that marked Maserati’s return to the United States. In the footsteps of tradition, the Maserati GranCabrio opens a new chapter, because never before have four-seater top-down models ever been produced at the Viale Ciro Menotti Maserati factory. Four proper seats, so that the rear passengers are not merely supporting actors, but co-stars of the journey.
The Maserati GranCabrio is powered by a 4.7 litre V8, 323 kW engine and is the convertible with the longest wheelbase on the market. The Maserati GranCabrio’s roof is strictly canvas-made, emphasizing the link with the Maserati tradition.
The Maserati GranCabrio will be marketed starting next winter, and experienced by customers the world over from the following spring.
