Seat Leon Concept [spy Shot]




The new generation Seat Leon is already in testing phase, but the Spanish automaker won鈥檛 unveil it just yet. Autocar reports that it will be previewed by a concept car at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show in March. Not much is known about it for now, but it鈥檚 expected to offer a first glimpse into some of the design elements of the fourth generation Leon, and to highlight some of its technologies. Carscoops spy photographers have already caught the 2020 Seat Leon on camera, but due to the heavy camouflage, it鈥檚 nearly impossible to make out its design details. However, the brand鈥檚 design chief, Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos told the British publication that it will adopt a different styling to set it further apart from its siblings within the Volkswagen Group. The exterior of the all-new Seat Leon won鈥檛 be the only major novelty, as the cabin is going through an extensive makeover of its own. Previous reports indicate the adoption of the latest infotainment technologies, which will include controls for the air conditioning and voice commands, and will also support over-the-air updates. Seat is using the MQB platform for the development of the next Leon, albeit in an updated form. Thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the car will go through a diet which, combined with new petrol and diesel engines, will improve fuel consumption. A mild-hybrid powertrain with the 1.5-liter TSI is believed to be part of the range, being joined further down the road by a plug-in hybrid derivative. The latter should be able to travel for at least 50 km (31 miles) on zero emissions.





Whether you intend to ride in one, or provide a loved one or acquaintance with the experience, the money will be well-spent for you. Whether it is your romantic partner or your spouse, a luxury car ride can provide her with a different experience than the normal humdrum everyday experiences. Impress her with a wow vehicle, and make the ambience more romantic for her. You may even use the car to go on a date with her or for spending a night around the town. An exotic vehicle can be a fun way to add spice to any evening. She will feel rejuvenated after a long and exhausting travel, and thank you for the well planned treat. These special vehicles are also appropriate for special occasions. A lot of people like to hire a luxury vehicle when they intend to travel for special occasions, such as weddings, prom parties, graduation ceremonies and more. If a family member is getting married, you can give him or her nice welcome treat. Even if it is your relatives who have come to attend your wedding, you can receive them with a luxury car for pickup from the airport.





You can even see them off with such a vehicle. It will help you to make a nice statement. If you wish to make an impression on your business clients or partners, sending a luxury car for pickup from airport would be one of the best business decisions. An exotic welcome can impress them just enough to help you bag that all-important contract. Rather than using a small economy car at the last minute, you can make a better impression with a luxury vehicle consisting of professional and courteous drivers and chauffeurs. A luxury vehicle rental service can also help you to try a luxury car before you buy. For instance, if you intend to buy a Bugati model, it would be a fabulous idea to hire one for a few hours or days and test its performance. You can find out whether you will love to drive the model when you buy it.





Reputed agencies have a wide range of exotic vehicles in stock, and you can choose one of the luxury cars for rent in Heathrowfor a 'test drive'. It goes without saying that few of us can actually experience riding in a 'luxury car' every day. Now and then, it can be a good idea to give you a luxurious experience. The global economic downturn has affected every industry, including the exotic car hire service industry. Today, cars such as Porsche, Audi, Mercedes Benz or BMW are not as expensive to ride in as before - and definitely not something that only celebrities can afford. Occasionally, it is possible for commoners to rent these cars and go on a drive without caring about the too high maintenance. Car hire agencies maintain these vehicles in topmost condition and rent them out to customers for a fee. You can have a unique experience that can let you try out various luxury cars without owning or maintaining them.

The Z4 Roadster Concept Was Unveiled




The Z4 Roadster Concept was unveiled, and what a stunner it is! Due for production next year as a 2019 model, there will likely be minor aesthetic changes from this Concept version, with some front and rear cleanup and a more restrained use of interior materials in the cockpit. Strictly rear-wheel drive, the Z4 goes back to a fabric top, as opposed to the previous gen folding hard structure. Available engines for the States will likely start with the 4-cylinder found in other models producing just under 250 horsepower. A step up to the Z4 M40i model will include the inline six-cylinder powerplant benching 320 horses with 340 lb-ft of torque. It will get up and go, as the Z4 is expected to weigh in at just under 3,200 pounds. Both a six-speed manual gearbox and an eight-speed auto box from manufacturer ZF should be available for specification, depending on your preference. Wheel sizes will likely top out at 19鈥?for that aggressively sporting look. I love the wheels on the Concept and hope they make it to production. The interior is being touted as substantially roomier than the current Z4, and bristles with the latest in BMW tech. Drive is present in its sixth-generation version, and an 鈥渁ugmented-reality鈥?head-up display will be available as well. The overall feel is very modern, but it appears to be laid out in a very driver-centric manner, which appropriately harkens back to BMW鈥檚 roots. 50,000 and can be optioned up from there. I look forward to the production version, provided the bean counters don鈥檛 remove too much of the style from the Concept.





The interior design is upright and very mid-20th century in theme, with details including circular gauges, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a column-mounted shifter marked out for PRNDL operation. The interior can be hosed down, and the floor is coated with polyurethane. Like Teslas (and Porsche sports cars and some other mid- or rear-engined sports cars), there鈥檚 a 鈥渇runk鈥?under what looks like a traditional engine hood, but this one鈥檚 big enough for up to 24 two-by-four boards. As is the case for Tesla models, the B1 will be offered in versions differentiated by their battery capacity. A base version with a 60-kWh battery will provide a 120-mile range, and one with a 100-kWh battery shoots for a 200-mile range. Charging rates haven鈥檛 been disclosed, but the B1 will have CHAdeMO Level 3 fast charging that should allow an 80 percent charge in roughly an hour. Bollinger obviously has a lot yet to prove. While it鈥檚 relatively easy to present a one-off prototype, it鈥檚 much harder to bring a vehicle to any level of volume production. Bollinger confirmed that the B1 will be built in the United States, likely with the assistance of an established third-party manufacturer. With first deliveries targeted for early 2019, the company is looking to open retail outlets鈥攂oth company-owned and franchised dealers鈥攊n major U.S. 1000 down payments until early 2018. We see many roles for the B1 to fit in with its quiet capability鈥攆or conservationists, hunters, bird-watchers, energy hawks and, well, people who crave an SUV that worships flat panels.





One of the most important and expensive purchases in your life, besides buying a home, is buying a car. Because of that it is essential to choose the right car for your needs. So how do you do that? I myself fancy a Porsche Carrera, but I doubt my wife would be very enthusiastic about it. No matter what kind of a car you plan on buying, SUV, station wagon or a truck, your car will have just one basic mission in life getting you and your family fast and safe from one place to another. When you decide on purchasing a car you need to know what you will be using car for. If you are single, a convertible could be the way to go, but if you have two or three kids it will just not do. If you have kids and are planning a vacation think about all the luggage you are going to have to transport with you.





It doesn't mean you need a truck, but you do need to think about trunk size of the car you plan on buying. Car manufacturers produce lots of different models very well suited for average size family needs. Large sedans and station wagons are just a sample of the cars on the market today. SUVs are a great fun as well as status symbols, they are also great for outdoors, but recent surveys show that less then 10% of the SUVs in US ever sees a dirt road. If one of your possible choices for car buying is an SUV, besides fuel consumption (which is enormous) you should also bear in mind the parking problems as well. Pickups with crew cabins are one of my favorites (if you do not live in a big city). It is a great choice for people that need really versatile car. Pickup enables you to haul big loads as well as take your kids to football practice or camping.





And do not forget about hybrids. This is probably the best choice for environment conscious people living in big cities. They are extremely fuel efficient as well as much easier to find a parking spot then SUVs. Usually hybrids have two engines, an electric and a gas one. Electric motor is in most cases responsible for supplying enough power for car electricity needs; this is done by accumulating electricity which is produced by braking. This will save gas but probably not enough to earn a medal form Greenpeace, but it is a start. Also hybrids are more expensive then normal cars. Toyota Prius is a great example of a very successful hybrid car, you can get it to run 60 miles for a gallon of gas. Over time such fuel efficiency can save you a lot of money besides helping with environment. Then we have electric cars. They run on fuel cells and are environmentally friendliest cars available today. However electric cars are not good choice for everybody. Make sure to do a thorough research if you plan on buying one. And at last you need to make decision whether you want to buy a new or used car. It is a personal decision to make, and there are lots of factors included in this, probably the most important as always being you budget.

Mazda Vision Coupe Concept Hints At Brand's Future Design




Mazda has presented its Vision Coupe concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. It鈥檚 a long and eye-catching four-door coupe hinting to the future of Mazda design. Among many of Mazda鈥檚 exhibits, including the new KAI concept, the four-door Vision Coupe bares a silhouette not dissimilar to the recently revealed Audi A7 and forthcoming Mercedes CLS. There is no word yet on potential production feasibility. No powertrain details have been revealed, either, other than the fact that it will be front rather than rear or all-wheel-drive, with the engine housed under the very long bonnet. The Vision Coupe is a simple canvas designed to showcase the updated Kodo 鈥榣ess is more鈥?design language. It sits alongside the next-generation Mazda 3-inspired KAI hatchback as a dramatic interpretation of the brand鈥檚 future direction. All non-essential ripples, folds and creases in the bodywork have been removed to create a long, smooth shape, and a signature side reflection that runs the length of the car. It starts at the front wheel and flows down the shoulderline, flaring out dramatically at the rear axle. Quad exhausts complete the look, housed beneath the aggressive rear bumper. The cabin mimics the KAI concept by making use of a similar horizontal layout, with a wide infotainment display hidden inside a deep fold. However, Mazda has pushed the boat out with plusher materials, as well as wooden veneers on the centre console and the door panels. The Vision Coupe is part of a range of Mazda cars displayed at this year鈥檚 Tokyo exhibit. Amidst the futuristic designs such as the RX-Vision, Mazda has also showcased a lightly-revised MX-5 Roadster, as well as the all-new Japan-only CX-8 crossover. Do you like the look of the Mazda Vision Coupe concept?





The legacy of the Porsche 944 is that the model is known as the savior of the Porsche. That is quite a lofty title, but is it an exaggeration? Actually, it is not overstated at all. Porsche sales had slumped significantly and it looked as if the future of Porsche was in doubt. Then, along came the Porsche 944 and it proved to be a huge hit. The sales of the Porsche 944 reinvigorated what was quickly becoming a declining brand. Perhaps, it can be said the 944 was the most important release in Porsche history. Porsche began its legacy with the development of the Porsche 356 in the first half of the 20th century. Since that time Porsche has release many, many models and created a legacy of excellence in automobile manufacturing. While Porsche has had its ups and downs over the years, it is a given that Porsche will remain popular for many more years to come.





New Porsche 911 Cabriolet, seen here testing in two different configurations. We鈥檙e willing to bet you hardly noticed the black prototype as the electric green one catches all the attention. The flashy green bodywork is combined with a black soft top that fits flush with the car鈥檚 prominent rear end, giving the Cabriolet a similar roofline with the coupe when the roof is up. The black 911 Cabriolet prototype with the red canvas roof and the white one with the black soft top are definitely for customers who value understatement more but not enough to roll in an all-black car. The convertible looks just like its fixed-roof sibling, including in the wheel department. All prototypes feature staggered wheels, with the rear rims being larger and wider than those at the front. This feature is more obvious on the green prototype that features two different alloy wheel designs on each axle. Judging by the look of the bumpers, all three prototypes are Carrera S or 4S models, which means they pack a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine producing 450 PS. The entry-level Carrera uses a detuned version of the same engine that makes 385 PS.

The 2016 Mazda CX-9 has big shoes to fill - and not just because the Japanese brand's newest model slides into the fullsize SUV segment. The CX-9 is the last of Mazda's sport utility vehicles to transition from older, shared architecture to a fresh take on the people mover concept. It's an important move for a company seeking family buyers hailing from the very profitable US and Canadian markets. Faced with a need to modernize a platform that dated back almost a decade, but not wanting to mess too much with the formula that had made the original CX-9 SUV a success, Mazda was faced with a unique challenge. The end result is an all-new version of the popular SUV that maintains the practical spirit of its predecessor while fitting in much better with the company's overall design philosophy and the increasingly heightened expectations of sport utility buyers. The 2016 Mazda CX-9 achieves that most modern of automotive design accomplishments: losing considerable weight and a touch of size despite offering a dramatically more modern platform.

BMW Garmisch Concept Recreated As Homage To Marcello Gandini




This is the BMW Garmisch concept, a modern take on an iconic concept car that went missing following its debut at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show. It has been officially revealed at this year鈥檚 Concorso d鈥橢leganza Villa d鈥橢ste in Italy. The concept was originally designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone - many of BMW鈥檚 vehicles from the 1960s and 70s were inspired and influenced by Italian design and coachbuilding. The new Garmisch was unveiled to celebrate this long-held association and pay tribute to Gandini, one of Italy鈥檚 most influential car designers. What makes the Garmisch special are the unique design elements such as the bold, vertical and angular variation of BMW鈥檚 kidney-shaped radiator grill. Other distinctive features include the square glass-covered headlights and the honeycomb-patterned mesh cover for the rear window, which was a must in Gandini鈥檚 designs. Every detail of the exterior and interior has been recreated using a small selection of black and white images sourced from BMW鈥檚 Group Design and Classic department. Not only that, but Gandini himself recalled his memories and contributed to recreate the Garmisch. 鈥淏uilding the BMW Garmisch for a second time gave us the opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Gandini, recall one of his lesser-known cars and highlight Bertone鈥檚 stylistic influence on the evolution of BMW design. For me, that alone was reason enough to do this project - filling in the gaps and completing BMW鈥檚 history鈥?said Adrian van Hooydonk, SVP of BMW Group Design. What do you think of the BMW Garmisch concept?

New Audi E-tron GT Concept Review




The e-tron GT will be Audi鈥檚 third fully electric model when it launches in 18 months time, following on from the e-tron SUV that鈥檚 already in dealers and the forthcoming e-tron Sportback, which is a more coupe-inspired SUV. It will be Audi鈥檚 new 鈥榟ero鈥?car, according to its design team. That means that matching the striking look is some serious performance and an equally lofty price tag - don鈥檛 expect any change from 拢100,000 when it goes on sale. The illuminated e-tron badging will make way because that鈥檚 deemed as advertising by the law, and the touch sensitive doors will make way for traditional door handles on the production car purely for safety reasons. Swinging open the frameless door reveals a cabin that is almost identical to what is being promised from the showroom model. You sit low in fantastic textured seats peering over the long bonnet that gently drops away towards the road, while the flat top and bottom steering wheel is trimmed in soft Alcantara.





The cabin is predominantly made up of digital screens and previews a new look for Audi鈥檚 future cabins; the gear selector has morphed into a domino-shaped slider that sits neatly integrated on the centre console. It shares its platform, called J1, with Porsche鈥檚 upcoming electric vehicle, the Taycan. Both are similar sized, elegant saloons, but the Audi will be aimed at a very different customer. 鈥淥ur customers don鈥檛 like what Porsche does and Porsche customers don鈥檛 like what we do,鈥?Andreas Mindt, explains to us. The numbers certainly back up that claim: 582bhp, 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 149mph. A huge 96kWh battery that drives an electric motor on each axle delivering four-wheel drive powers the e-tron GT. Having said that it presents us with an ideal setting to test the e-tron鈥檚 promise of greater comfort and refinement. The steering is effortlessly smooth with a nice heft to its weight; the throttle response is consistent and, when the traffic opens up, delivers thumping bursts of acceleration. Audi engineers are still working on refining the overall powertrain to deliver smoother and a more relaxing drive. The chassis is still being worked on, which is a relief, because the ride quality, like all precious one-off concept cars is pretty bad. It鈥檚 about as comfortable as doing a marathon in a pair of ski boots two sizes too small. Any sort of verdict on handling, given our location, will have to wait until the production model has rolled out of the factory, too.





Porsche developers have outlined a complete of 5 operative modes, which may be activated via a map switch within the wheel, similar to in race cars. The centrepiece of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder thought is that the distribution of propulsive power across 3 power units, all of that square measure integrated Associate in Nursingd controlled via an intelligent management system. Toward that finish, the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder鈥檚 structural core could be a resin-injection-molded traveller tub locked to a composite house frame that surrounds and supports the engine, transaxle, and rear suspension. Minimizing weight through the utilization of exotic materials is that the best suggests that of maximising performance and fuel potency while not compromise. The engineering team hunted person each gram, resorting to ceramic balls to trim eighteen ounces from the facultative Weissach package鈥檚 wheel bearings. I expected a surge in power or another acceleratory sign that 608 power unit had woke up, however as my right foot had not enraptured the throttle a metric linear unit, nothing modified.





Its arrival was detected, seen Associate in Nursingd felt as an excited roar poor out, shattering the silence, with the distinguished center-mounted measuring system springing to life as my seat began to vibrate. 2 fast corners with the electrical motors whining and speeds of no larger than forty five mph, I turned the dial to S and therefore the combustion engine barked to life. Porsche explains the four-wheeled steering equates to adding fifty power unit or removing 220 pounds from the automobile once it鈥檚 driven on a track. The 918 packs a four-wheeled mechanism that turns the rear wheels within the wrong way because the front wheels at low speeds, and within the same direction at high speeds. 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Super sportscars changed with this package also are on the market in special colors and styles galvanized by legendary Porsche race cars, creating them instantly placeable. 918 Spyder, Porsche additionally offers the 鈥淲eissach鈥?package. Different references to motorsport embrace six-point seatbelts for the driving force and front traveller, Associate in Nursing facultative film coating rather than a paint end, and extra mechanics add-on elements in visible carbon fibre. These light-weight options square measure decisive once it involves more enhancing the dynamic performance of the vehicle.





There was a time, not so very long ago, when the idea of a turbocharged gasoline-electric powertrain in a Porsche SUV would鈥檝e seemed鈥?exotic. Circa the 2019 model year, that formula represents one of the basic building blocks of the Porsche lineup. In Cayenne, of course, the German automaker has its biggest volume model, and a serious profit center. With the ability to drive in all-electric mode farther than ever, or to use its electric drive for on demand power, the E-Hybrid can be versatile, frugal, but also exceedingly rapid. This ain鈥檛 no Prius. The advanced drivetrain starts with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 gas engine, producing 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, all on its own. That mill is paired with a centrally mounted electric motor that itself churns out 134 hp and 295 lb-ft, with maximum ratings for the full system output pegged at 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The marriage of electrons and oil allow the SUV to pass 60 miles per hour in just 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 157 mph.

New Volkswagen I.D. Buggy Concept Revealed Ahead Of Geneva Debut




Volkswagen's unrelenting onslaught of electric vehicle releases continues with the announcement of a new EV dune buggy concept. Like the I.D. Buzz, the new car, expected to be called I.D. Buggy, takes inspiration from a past icon in VW鈥檚 history: the Beetle-based beach buggies of the 鈥?0s and 鈥?0s. The concept is set to be revealed in full at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with only a couple of dark teaser images to whet our appetite until then. The nods to the original are clear though: chunky, off-road tyres sit within huge wheel arches that flare out from the sides of the doorless cabin. As with other I.D. Volkswagen logo, while the headlights take inspiration from the round spotlights of the original. Extra protection for the buggy and its occupants come in the form of a rear roll bar and a skid plate to shield the floor pan. That floorpan is a variation of the VW Group's MEB platform, and the concept has been produced, in part, to demonstrate its versatility. While the original buggies were rear-engined and rear-wheel drive, the concept鈥檚 use of electric motors would enable the possibility of a twin-motor setup for four wheel drive. As yet, however, no specs about the concept鈥檚 drive configuration, range or power output have been released.





One of the primary criticisms leveled against the Mazda CX-9 -- at least, when compared against other fullsize SUVs -- was just how far behind the curve its cabin design had fallen. This was mostly a function of age, as the harder plastics and more basic infotainment technologies employed by the CX-9 were well in keeping with a snapshot of the industry in the mid-2000s when it first appeared on the scene. All that has changed with the 2016 Mazda CX-9, which gains a passenger compartment that is every bit the equal (and in some cases, the better), of class leaders from Ford, Toyota, and Honda. In addition to the expected fabric seats and modestly-appointed interiors available with entry-level models, Mazda has finally embarked on a re-think of what the brand traditionally has offered in terms of materials quality, fit, and finish. In addition to the availability of two different Mazda Connect touchscreen infotainment systems, the CX-9 features genuine wood trim, Nappa leather, and elegantly-styled door panels, dashboards, and center consoles as part of Mazda's new design vocabulary.





The 2016 Mazda CX-9 can accommodate as many as seven passengers across three rows of seating, but in a refreshingly honest appraisal of the SUV's capabilities, its designers acknowledge that the rearmost quarters are best enjoyed by young children. The front buckets have undergone a scalloping at the back to reduce intrusion on the knees of riders, and the extended wheelbase has contributed to an overall improvement in comfort for those behind the first two positions. It's also worth noting that the Mazda CX-9 is remarkably quiet inside for a non-premium vehicle, the result of a concerted effort to improve sound deadening throughout the SUV. Mechanically, the most notable change made to the 2016 Mazda CX-9 is the shift from a naturally-aspirated V6 to a turbocharged 4-cylinder motor. It's a sign of the times when even large SUVs are slicing engine sizes in half and turning to turbos to best balance fuel efficiency and output. The 2.5-liter unit found in the CX-9 is unique for a number of reasons, not the least of which being its relatively high compression ratio and ability to produce maximum torque almost right off of the line.





Of the 310 lb-ft of twist offered by the 2.5-liter turbo, all of it is available below 2,000 rpm. Horsepower runs from 227 (87 octane gas) to 250 (91 octane), and Mazda has tuned the engine to maximize passing power while minimizing downshifts from its 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2016 Mazda CX-9 sees its fuel economy climb to 22 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway when ordered in front-wheel drive trim (all-wheel drive models deduct a single mile per gallon from each respective measure). Mazda is claiming best-in-class status for the hauler, with the closest similarly-sized SUV, the Honda Pilot, posting 20 mpg city and 27 mpg combined. Of note is Mazda's confidence that, unlike other turbocharged engines that tend to guzzle at an accelerated rate when called upon to hustle, the 2.5-liter turbo is more likely to match its EPA estimates in real-world driving. Mazda's never been here before -- at least not in North America -- but you wouldn't know it from the inside of the CX-9 Signature. The 2016 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring also happens to offer a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features.

Piech Mark Zero Concept Leaked Ahead Of Geneva Debut




Currently, the market is awash with all-electric start-up car brands, and this Swiss-built GT car could be the latest addition to the flood. Called the Piech Mark Zero, it鈥檚 an electric sports car built by a new company fronted by the son of Ferdinand Piech, the former head of Volkswagen. These leaked teaser images preview the car鈥檚 design ahead of its launch at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Full performance specifications for the Mark Zero are yet to be announced. The battery packs are mounted in the car鈥檚 transmission tunnel and on the rear axle, which Piech states will provide a driving experience closer to that of an internal combustion-engined car. The Swiss start-up also claims that the Mark Zero鈥檚 architecture will be modular, allowing its battery packs and hardware to be replaced as technology advances. Potentially, Piech鈥檚 modular architecture could offer buyers a range of powertrains, including internal combustion engines, various hybrid systems and even a fuel-cell driven option. In addition, the Swiss firm plans to make its platform available to other manufacturers. For the next few years, Piech has planned a range of cars, consisting of a two-seat sports car, a four-seat saloon and a sporty SUV, built on the Mark Zero鈥檚 underpinnings. Release dates for these upcoming Piech models are yet to be announced.





A new model is due later in 2019 so expect some good deals on this outgoing car. Today, the smallest hatchbacks are in the city car class, and models such as the Citroen C1 and Skoda Citigo feature a small rear hatch that's not much more than a reinforced pane of glass. This is a cheap way of making a hatch, and is pretty effective. Further up the size scale, the hatchback body is the default choice in the supermini class, and while some superminis are available as saloons in other regions, the hatchback overwhelmingly rules the roost in the UK. You have plenty of choice in the compact hatch class where the cars most regularly referred to as 鈥榟atchbacks鈥?reside. Starting with the likes of the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Peugeot 308, then moving up to the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series at the premium end of things. Moving up in size, there are now hatch versions of the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and BMW 3 Series, and even a racy-looking A5 Sportback from Audi. At the very top of the tree, the Audi A7 Sportback, Tesla Model S and Porsche Panamera are the most luxurious hatchbacks you can buy. SUVs use the hatchback boot style too. Looking for a new car?





Since the second-generation Dacia Duster hit UK roads back in June, engine choice has been limited to one naturally-aspirated 1.6-litre petrol motor. By March there will be a couple of more sophisticated motors to pick from: two variants of a 1.3-litre unit found in the Nissan Qashqai and Mercedes A-Class. But, in the meantime, a new diesel has doubled the under-bonnet options for Duster buyers. So does this add to the appeal of this cheap and cheerful SUV? The 1.5-litre dCi is carried over from the old Duster, but has been updated for 2019. Like the upcoming 1.3, it鈥檚 found in a range of Nissan, Renault and Mercedes models. As elsewhere, the revised engine benefits from a modest 5bhp hike over the old Duster鈥檚 diesel, and a useful torque increase thanks to an overboost function. An AdBlue system helps cut emissions, too. On the road you鈥檒l notice there鈥檚 not much in the way of soundproofing.





As a result, and as before, it鈥檚 fairly audible on start-up and under hard acceleration. But this isn鈥檛 a deal-breaker because, for the most part, it鈥檚 among the smoothest small diesels on sale. Although performance is steady rather than thrilling (0-62mph takes 11.8 seconds), the power delivery is linear and there鈥檚 a decent shove of torque throughout the rev range. It鈥檚 certainly livelier than the breathless 1.6 petrol which, without a turbo, needs to be worked pretty hard to extract any kind of performance. The petrol has a five-speed manual, while the diesel comes with a notchy six-speed transmission. The new Duster sits on the same platform as the previous model: a stretched version of the Nissan Juke鈥檚 underpinnings. But pronounced body roll and lifeless steering mean it鈥檚 not the sharpest compact SUV on the market. That numb set-up is suitably light, however, making the Dacia feel easy to drive and manoeuvre at low speeds. You鈥檇 expect a car with this much ground clearance and high-profile tyres to be really comfy.

Audi PB18 E-Tron Concept




Following its world debut at the Monterey Car Week, the new Audi PB18 E-Tron concept traveled to Paris for its European premiere. The battery-electric supercar study is reportedly previewing the replacement of the Audi R8, featuring three electric motors with a combined output of 671 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. The front axle is powered by a single 201 hp electric motor while the rear axle gets the other two, complete with 604 hp. Audi claims that the PB18 E-Tron鈥檚 electric powertrain is able to deliver peak power of 764 hp for short bursts, making it capable of a 0-100 km/h in less than two seconds. The design is unsurprisingly rather sharp, featuring a long roof line that resembles that of a shooting brake concept, widely extended wheel arches and a pretty large interpretation of Audi鈥檚 Singleframe front grille. The interior adopts a variable layout, meaning it can be converted from a regular two-seater to a single-seater with the driver sitting in the middle. This was made possible thanks to the adoption of fully electronic steering, throttle and braking operations. The long roof line also gives the PB18 E-Tron a rather large boot capacity, with 470 liters on offer.





It does fall behind for overall space and it鈥檚 darker in the back as well, due to the small, tapered rear windows. You do get a cup-holder in the doors, which is useful, but otherwise storage is only average. Even though it costs more than its competitors on test, the Corolla offers the most safety kit. Toyota鈥檚 five-year, 100,000-mile warranty is great, too, but the brand鈥檚 12th place out of 26 marques in the manufacturers鈥?chart of our Driver Power 2018 owner satisfaction survey was only average. The hybrid Corolla returned a fuel economy figure of 44.3mpg on our test, which was ahead of the Golf鈥檚 41.9mpg and the Peugeot鈥檚 38.5mpg returns. Low CO2 emissions of 83g/km put the Toyota in the 19 per cent Benefit-in-Kind tax bracket for company car users, so lower-rate earners will only pay 拢1,033 a year to run one. That鈥檚 less than the 拢1,174 and 拢1,243 it will cost for the Volkswagen and 308 respectively.





The Volkswagen Golf is our favourite family hatch and therefore the model to beat here. The 128bhp 1.5-litre petrol TSI version in GT trim is the highest spec available with this comparable engine to the Toyota for power, although it鈥檚 not a hybrid. This Golf uses petrol power alone. The 1.5-litre TSI turbo delivers 128bhp and 200Nm of torque to the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch auto box. Some GT models also have lowered suspension over the standard car, but our 128bhp version features the normal set-up. The Golf鈥檚 interior is simple and functional, but it鈥檚 also well built and uses soft-touch materials that make it the most upmarket model of the trio. Adding to the classy image is the excellent infotainment system. The eight-inch set-up is the most modern-looking here and it鈥檚 standard on the GT (although the car in our pictures is an SE Nav). It includes smartphone connectivity which, sadly, is not yet offered on the Corolla. You can also add a 12.3-inch TFT Active Info Display digital dashboard for 拢495.





This is larger than the Toyota鈥檚 seven-inch set-up and replaces the traditional analogue dials behind the wheel. In addition, GT spec includes upgraded upholstery, ambient lighting, selectable driving modes and adaptive cruise control. However, some features that are standard on the Corolla, such as a reversing camera and LED headlights, are optional (at 拢340 and 拢995 respectively). Even so, add these extras and the Volkswagen still works out cheaper. The Golf gets each aspect of the driving experience just right, which is why it鈥檚 one of our favourite cars. For a start, it鈥檚 quiet and calm inside even at high speed, and the suspension soaks up lumps and bumps in the road surface adequately enough. Only occasionally does it bounce abruptly. At least body control is great, which makes it enjoyable on a twisty country road as well, since it remains tied down even over rough tarmac. Steering is direct, while there鈥檚 also plenty of grip.

New Porsche Concept Car




Who would have thought that you could have a mean looking, fast racing, good looking sports car that also has impressive green credentials? Well, that's exactly what Porsche are proposing with their latest concept car: the Porsche 918 Spyder. Let's take a closer look. Unveiled on the eve of the famous Geneva Auto Show, the Stuttgart based company, Porsche, lifted the lid on their new concept car which happens to be a mid engine, two seater sports cars with hybrid and electric drive technology. It certainly looks mean, but what are the stats like? Remarkably impressive when looked at. Nought to Sixty in less than 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 198mph and it happens to be faster than the Carrera GT, as proven by successfully finishing the Nurburgring lap in less than 7 minutes 30 seconds. So, how can a car have all this power and claim to be green? The 918 Spyder has electric motors at the front and rear axles. The drive to the front wheels is purely electric via a fixed ratio. The liquid cooled lithium ion battery pack sits behind the cockpit and can be ideally charged at home or by brake regeneration. This sports car is a high revving V-8 related, 3.4 litre racing car. It produces more than 500 brake horse power with engine revs of up to 9200 rpm. Yet, it does an incredible 78mpg, driven the right way, plus the emissions level sit at just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometre. The chassis is made from CFP (Carbon fiber reinforced plastic), along with the use of a lot of magnesium and aluminium to keep the frame as light as possible. The stylish interior is designed to be driver orientated with touch screens and intuitive controls.





Meet Vorsteiner's Porsche GT4! We have featured abundant gallery below, which shows exclusive photos of the project and plenty of images. Speaking of the update, the current tuning program does not concern the engine or its output in some way. It is only cosmetic, which aids the aerodynamics. Back in March last year we understood that the (current for now) Boxster and Cayman GTS range will be powered by a 3.4 liter flat-six engine. The unit produces 330hp (243 kW) for the Boxster and 340 (250 kW) for the Cayman. The torque is 370Nm (273 lb-ft) and 380Nm (280 lb-ft), respectively. In addition, both cars got the Chrono package as a standard. Speaking of the aero program, called GT4-V, it comprises from a front spoiler, side blades and rear diffuser. Pushing the boundaries of art and technology, Vorsteiner continues to impress with exclusive projects like this. By the way, the material the tuner uses in its creations is in-house made and it is autoclaved pre-impregnated carbon fiber. Vorsteiner promises that this lightweight material actually delivers superior stiffness, aerospace strength and durability compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber composites.





Audi recently pulled the wraps off the all-new A6 and now we鈥檙e starting to learn more about the upcoming RS6. The latest report from Autobild suggests the car could be introduced as early as next year. The high-performance model is expected to be offered exclusively as a wagon but the report suggests slow wagon sales in major markets, such as China and the United States, means there鈥檚 still a chance for a sedan variant. Power will reportedly be provided by the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that resides in models such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Lamborghini Urus. In the Audi RS6 Avant, it is expected to produce around 605 PS. If the report pans out, the car would have 45 PS more than its predecessor and this should enable the redesigned wagon to easily beat the outgoing model which can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. An RS6 Performance could follow later with an upgraded engine developing around 650 PS and 800 Nm of torque. This would be a significant increase over the current model which has 605 PS and 700 Nm of torque.





Skoda is on a roll. Its model range is expanding quickly, with the line-up now comprising eight models - an additional 10 plug-in variants are due before 2025, too. But next in line is a new baby SUV, based on the Vision X concept, due in 2019 to sit as a rival for the Citroen C3 Aircross. To give us a taste of what鈥檚 to come, we travelled to Skoda鈥檚 Czech HQ for a quick spin in the Geneva Motor Show concept car. While these opportunities offer little in the way of true driving impressions, it gives us chance to get up close and personal with the project and the team behind it. Catching up with designers Dalibor Pantucek and Dimitrios Darkoudis gives us a better understanding into the future styling direction for the brand, too. This suggests the Vision X will transition from concept car to production SUV with only a select few design tweaks. Chief exterior designer Pantucek said the rounded wheelarches will remain, despite the bigger Karoq and Kodiaq using a squarer and more angular cladding.





The Vision X鈥檚 two-tier front lighting signature is similar to that found on its SUV siblings, and is likely to be carried over wholesale. The illuminated grille will be sacrificed on production cars, not least for safety and regulatory reasons. The split taillight design should remain, however, offering an evolutionary pattern that sets it apart from other models in the Skoda range. Pantucek said: 鈥淚magine you are a father and you have three kids. So while Skoda wants to avoid any Audi-style Russian Doll styling, both Darkoudis and Pantucek expressed their desire to stay true to Skoda鈥檚 鈥楽imply Clever鈥?rationale, adding useful features throughout. 鈥淲e wanted to merge emotion and functionality,鈥?Pantucek told us. 鈥淕ood design is somewhere in between. The interior is filled with tech - from the large central touchscreen, to the fully digital dials. Skoda has already confirmed this set-up will appear on Octavia, Superb, Karoq and Kodiaq later this year, and the as yet un-named crossover should a similar system, too. The ambient lighting from the concept is likely to appear in the finished product as well, albeit simplified to ease production.

Lamborghini Urus ST-X Concept




Lamborghini Squadra Corse has taken the wraps off the new Urus ST-X concept. Created for a unique racing series that combines off-road driving with a traditional circuit, the Urus ST-X concept has an aggressive design and a matte Verde Mantis livery. Lamborghini didn鈥檛 go into too many specifics, but the racing crossover has been equipped with a ventilated carbon fiber hood, larger air intakes and 21-inch center-locking wheels with Pirelli tires. Since the crossover was designed for competition, it has been outfitted with a number of FIA-approved safety features including a steel roll cage, a fire suppression system and an FT3 fuel tank. Lamborghini Squadra Corse also worked their magic on the Urus and this led to a 25% weight reduction compared to the standard model. This suggests the concept weighs less than 1,649 kg. While the concept is significantly lighter than the standard model, it uses the same twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 641 hp and 850 Nm of torque. Lamborghini didn鈥檛 say how fast the concept is, but the standard Urus can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds before hitting a top speed of 305 km/h.





The positioning of the engine, at the exact middle of the vehicle, together side the active engine mounts help in this respect. In conjunction with the body weight reduction, this helps to ensure that there鈥檚 minimal over-steer, even though cornering hard. The ironic grip with all the Pirelli PZero tyres is notable. Within my 700 kilometers of studying, I did not obtain a slide, spin or slide out of some one of those tyres. Its mechanical traction is nearly unparalleled. If you鈥檙e somebody who enjoys the rear to come back readily afterward your Cayman is maybe not the perfect car for it. Do not misunderstand me, I am confident you might still induce it to a slide however it鈥檚 created for raw grip. Having said this, it doesn鈥檛 signify that the 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s is really a slouch in terms of having a great time. It鈥檚 merely an even civilised model of pleasure. I was analyzing the 6-speed manual also there were not any complaints on the gear box front. Every thing was smooth and elegant as you鈥檇 expect from a Porsche.





Gear-shifts at the automobile have been well controlled as well as with a time of heavy driving, so it will not secure boring or difficult. There鈥檚 really a PDK automatic open, that could accommodate city driving, however it鈥檚 wonderful to have full control within the auto even if it鈥檚 only to pay attention to this engine note in your own terms. Certainly one of the primary understated joys of the Cayman gt-s was doing braking. The discretionary gigantic ceramic brakes provide this car incredible stopping power, but moreover, an extraordinary brake pedal feel. The braking operation is really consistent all of the way down the pedal. The automobile remains stable after flying, meaning that the 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s may be slowed up or bought into an end quite economically. One more advantage of these premium ceramic wheels would be that the rolling bulk of these discs are 20% lighter than the normal brakes, so which makes it feel thinner and lighter, beyond and outside the gt-s configuration.





The energy delivery is very linear and there鈥檚 enough grunt on tap no matter the rev range you鈥檙e in. Still another boon to be mid-engined is using that engine supporting you, you can nearly hear the turbo twist upward, giving just a tiny treat to your ears. The 20-19 Porsche Cayman gt-s shirts from 180 MPH and may accelerate from 0-62 MPH within 4.6 seconds, that will be rapid. However, it must be stated that the 0-60 MPH period isn鈥檛 anything in contrast to the way a vehicle picks up rate from 50 MPH onwards. The acceleration when over taking can feel constant. The Cayman gt-s is fitted using an activity Chrono Suite with a style switch, that will be easily accessible over the wheel. The various manners alter the controller, valve, exhaust and also the equilibrium control setting. Normal is effective for any sort of tender commute, Sport could be your go to alternative for livening up the car and appreciating its own lively chassis, even whilst Sport Plus is ideal for more extreme driving requirements.





Throughout my testing, I used exactly the activity manner the most. Arriving at the technical elements of this driving experience, the headlights with the particular car are incredible and therefore are far better compared to almost all I鈥檝e analyzed. They truly are white and light that the complete diameter of this street, even turning well in to the corners and that means you鈥檝e got maximum vision. Driving the vehicle through the night using those headlights alters the ability marginally, as the vision is therefore far better. The driving position from the Cayman is some thing to urge too. Stepping in to the vehicle that you sit down, however, the inside is quite broad. At 6鈥?, then 鈥?I felt comfortable. The Cayman adopts a sports vehicle driving posture with your legs extended infront of you with lots of room from the cottage to work the controls and gear adhere publicly.

Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport Rally Concept Set For Rally Germany




This year鈥檚 Rally Germany will feature a new Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport Rally Concept. The car may not be too new as it is essentially a stripped down version of the Cayman GT4, but there鈥檚 still plenty to be excited about. The Clubsport still features a mid-mounted, naturally aspirated flat six engine. For the Cayman, that means 380 horsepower being routed to the rear wheels through a six-speed PDK. What that means for the Clubsport is anyone鈥檚 guess so far. But the Clubsport is reportedly 84 pounds lighter and has a race-spec mechanical locking rear differential. The frunk sports an extra set of lights. You鈥檒l also find a roof scoop, as well as a flat bottom protected by skid plates. Porsche opted for Michelin Pilot Sport tires. OMP tow loops on the front and rear also stand out. The doors also feature side-impact foam, something new to World Rally Championship cars. Based on reception at the WRC鈥檚 Ralley Deutschland, Porsche will be deciding whether to take the car out of the concept stage and into development. Romain Dumas, who drove the Volkswagen I.D. R electric rally car at Pikes Peak and claimed the time attack record, will be piloting the Clubsport, so if the car is up to the challenge, you can expect good things to happen. Have you subscribed to Man of Many? You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.





The freestanding 10.25-inch flat screen Control Display comes as part of the standard-fitted iDrive operating system. The rear seat backrests can now be split/folded 40: 20: 40, allowing the capacity of the load compartment to be increased in stages from 580 to a maximum 1,525 litres. This is 75 litres of more boot space compared to the outgoing model. Numerous stowage compartments, plus door pockets also contribute to impressive levels of functionality in everyday and touring use. Automatic tailgate operation is also included in the standard specification for the all-new BMW X6. The tailgate can now be both opened and closed via remote control and from the driver's seat at the touch of a button. Maximum convenience when loading and unloading items from the all-new BMW X6 is provided by the hands-free tailgate opening and closing functions. Sensors detect foot movements underneath the rear apron and send out signals which prompt the electric tailgate into action. The all-new BMW X6 is much more refined and better looking than any of its previous models. The all-new BMW X6 continues with the unique features visible on all SAV coupes of the X family. Be warned, this is an SAV suitable for anyone looking for a luxurious, powerful and striking SUV with a coupe qualities. For practicality I ad rather you opt for the BMW X5 or start saving for the X7 SUV which will be launched soon.





It must be a nightmare replacing a car like the original Range Rover Evoque. To recap, the new Evoque sits on a very heavily modified version of the old car鈥檚 D8 platform - different enough, it seems, to earn a new name: Premium Transverse Architecture. It has pretty much the same footprint as the outgoing model, but the wheelbase has been lengthened slightly in a bid to improve rear-seat accommodation. The main reason for the switch to PTA, though, is powertrains - and Land Rover鈥檚 desire to offer 48-volt electrification. In fact, the entry-level, front-wheel-drive diesel Evoque is the only model in the range that does not have some form of hybridisation on board - and at the end of this year, a plug-in hybrid version will arrive. For now, though, there鈥檚 a 48V integrated starter/generator system. It allows the car to cut its combustion engine out completely below 11mph, and helps to smooth out any judder when it fires back up again.





That basic 148bhp diesel is also the only front-drive car in the line-up, and it鈥檚 the only new Evoque with a (six-speed) manual gearbox to boot. Every other version comes with four-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission as standard. The goal for Land Rover鈥檚 engineers was to make a car that felt more grown-up than before, without treading on the toes of its cousin, the Jaguar E-Pace. And after several hundred miles in a 237bhp Evoque diesel on the roads of Greece, we鈥檙e inclined to say that they鈥檝e succeeded. The biggest single gain comes in terms of refinement. The hybrid technology helps the diesel out around town, too, where any harshness above 2,500rpm (and there is some) could be more cruelly exposed. Instead, the electric motor cuts in as you come to a halt and is impressively smooth, while its assistance with start-up helps the Evoque to get around with a minimum of fuss. On twistier roads, though, there is a clear difference between the Range Rover and the E-Pace.





The Evoque鈥檚 steering has more slack around the straight ahead, and while the response does quicken as you apply more lock, it never feels as keen to turn and aim for an apex. There鈥檚 more body roll, too, so the Evoque is less happy with any sudden changes of direction. Land Rover has clearly set the car up to be an accomplished cruiser that stays just about composed enough on more winding roads. And that feels a pretty good place for the smallest Range Rover, especially with that polite powertrain taken into account. It鈥檚 worth pointing out at this juncture, though, that our test car had the optional 21-inch wheels that come only as part of a pack with adaptive dampers. It still rode commendably well considering the wheel size, but we鈥檙e in the dark on whether 18-inch or 20-inch items, with regular suspension, would deliver an even better experience on the UK鈥檚 awful roads.

VW ID Beach Buggy Concept




Volkswagen is getting into the holiday spirit by sending out Christmas cards that provide a glimpse of the company鈥檚 next concept. The Christmas card shows Santa has ditched his sleigh for a new beach buggy. This is notable as previous reports have suggested Volkswagen is working on an electric beach buggy that draws inspiration from the original Meyers Manx. The teaser image is pretty dark, but we can see the concept has a short hood and a rakish windscreen. The model also appears to have a roll bar and curvaceous bodywork. Other highlights include Beetle-inspired round taillights, meaty tires and a rear-mounted flag which is used for identifying the car鈥檚 location on sands dunes. Little is known about the beach buggy at this point, but the concept is expected to ride on the company鈥檚 MEB platform. While its sounds odd that Volkswagen would consider building an electric beach buggy, the automaker introduced the Buggy up! 2011. That particular model was based on the up! Meyers Manx. A production model would likely have limited appeal, but it could act as a halo vehicle that draws attention to the brand and gets customers interested in more traditional ID models. The ID Beach Buggy isn鈥檛 the only retro-inspired vehicle under development as Volkswagen is also working on a production version of the ID Buzz concept which is a modern take on the iconic Microbus. The company is also said to be working on a five-door model inspired by the Beetle.





For most car buyers looking for the perfect car, their wish to get that vehicle that they are eyeing is often compromised by the lack of funds. It is, of course, hard to choose between paying for a house and buying a new car. While this predicament has been experienced by most car buyers, we are always dreaming to own that one perfect car that would have been ours if not for the price. Most car manufacturers produce vehicles which come with price tags that are within the reach of more people. This means more cars will be bought thus an increased profit is expected. But there are those who cater to the automobile needs of the rich and the privileged. Car companies like Ferrari, Porsche and Bugatti produces cars that will never be within the reach of the common car buyer. Nevertheless, as we daydream about our perfect car, it is necessary that we know their price just so that we can dream realistically on how much money we will have to spend on, say, a Bugatti Veyron.

The exterior design and material is not the only thing that the Enzo shares with F1 cars but also the sequential shift transmission and the carbon-ceramic brake discs which shadows the efficiency of brake parts available at Active Brakes Direct. The car also uses technologies which F1 cars are not allowed to have. One of this is active aerodynamics which means a dynamic rear spoiler for the Enzo. 741,000.

Audi E-tron GT Concept




Audi unveiled the e-tron GT Concept at this year鈥檚 LA Auto Show. It鈥檚 the offspring of a collaborartion and Porsche, using the same platform and battery pack as the Taycan. Starting with performance, Audi claims an all-electric range of 400 km, although that figure could change in the production car. The e-tron GT Concept can also be charged to 80% of its capacity in just 20 minutes using its 800-volt system for a range just shy of 320 km. The 590 PS dual-motor setup enables it to do the 0-100 km/h sprint in around 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 240 km/h. But what is it like to drive? According to Engadget鈥檚 Roberto Baldwin, pretty enjoyable, even at cruising speeds around LA. He did mention that the suspension isn鈥檛 ready for production, though, but other than that, what you see is mostly what you鈥檒l get. The concept car is a total tech fest, boasting touch-sensitive controls throughout the cabin and a surprisingly futuristic steering wheel which will also make it in the final item, according to the reviewer. In fact, the entire vehicle is about 鈥?5% ready to go into production鈥? he added.





Thankfully, there does appear to be a microscopic pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel to assist us in our choice? The reality is that although we may all share a slightly different viewpoint on the subject matter, most of us have got the jist of what's required. Put simply, there are a number of common, solid elements that a child needs to regularly experience to give it a 'rounded' perspective on its environment. Depending on whether these various experiences are present or absent will inexorably shape the individuals approach to the whole of their life. To illustrate the complexity of this concept think about your own preferred set of 10 key values and place them in order of importance. Now, mix all of these values together giving each one a percentage mark that you think will, when mixed with the other nine, create that sought after 'rounded' perspective. Once done, congratulate yourself for having done the very best for this child? Q. Did you get the mix absolutely right, and achieve your goal? A. Only time will tell, but be prepared to find out that you probably didn't?





You see, when putting that mix together I know you have done the job to the best of your ability but it still doesn't necessarily make it 'right'! You may have made fundamental errors with your 'weighting' and given the child too much of one thing and too little of something else. Remember, we are dealing with the complex machine that is the human brain. Every component part of that mix will influence the way this child grows up and interacts with others. To understand whether you've been successful or not you'll just have to wait and see! How would like to improve on your parent's best efforts? It's a fantastic opportunity and one that many people exercise through subliminal affirmations! By listening to powerful audio subliminal affirmations you have the opportunity to re-structure areas of your inner-self that have held you back all of your life. All of those less than positive formative experiences that have shaped how you behave today are also brought to the golf course. Subliminal affirmations appear in many different guises with an equally varied selection of practitioners. Many of these practitioners may work from 'surgeries' in a street near you, helping people to stop smoking etc,. At the other end of the spectrum some may appear on daytime television to help ordinary members of the public improve their lives in some way. In general terms, regardless of the circumstances, the technique remains broadly the same. Are you suffering from the yips? Do you fear competitive situations? Do you dread sand-traps? These and a gazillion other mind quirks can be corrected. Find the subliminal message package appropriate for your 'problem' and begin to clear your mind of clutter and negative baggage and re-boot yourself with full-on focus and winning thoughts!





The new BMW M5 MotoGP Safety Car - based on the next M5 - is set to clock on for its first shift at the final round of the 2017 season on 12 November, ahead of a full 2018 campaign. It replaces the M2 coupe as BMW鈥檚 MotoGP Safety Car and is based on the all-new F90 M5 on sale next year. It will be the first M5 to feature BMW鈥檚 xDrive four-wheel-drive system bespoke to the fifth-generation M5. Power comes from the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 from the previous generation M5, but has been boosted to 591bhp and 750Nm of torque. The power increase and four-wheel-drive system results in a 0-62mph sprint of 3.4 seconds. While the MotoGP Safety Car shares similar performance to the new M5, there are a number of features exclusive to the vehicle that differ from the road-going variant. Numerous carbon fibre components have been added in order to distinguish it from the standard motor, along with its unique multi-colour paint scheme, MotoGP Safety Car decals and the light bar on the roof. An all-new splitter exclusive to the safety car has been fitted to add further grip and help keep up the pace for the motorbikes behind, along with bucket seats lifted from the M4 GTS. Do you like the look of the BMW M5 MotoGP Safety Car?

Mercedes A35, GLE, EQC And Smart Forease Concept




The Paris Motor Show doesn鈥檛 officially kick off until tomorrow, but that hasn鈥檛 stopped Mercedes from unveiling an assortment of new models at a special event in the city. Starting things off is the Mercedes-AMG A35 4MATIC which is designed to slot between the standard A-Class and the upcoming A45. Given its positioning, the model has a hot - but not too hot - turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 301 hp and 400 Nm of torque. The engine is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system. This setup enables the hatchback to rocket from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h. As part of the AMG makeover, the car has been equipped with a sportier front fascia which features a revised grille, a new splitter and small flics. The rear end has also been updated thanks to a new bumper, a distinctive diffuser and an AMG dual exhaust system. Other highlights include a sports steering system, an AMG Ride Control suspension and 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels which are backed up by a high-performance braking system.





While the A35 is certainly an interesting addition to the Mercedes lineup, crossovers were front and center at today鈥檚 event. The more interesting of the two was the electric EQC which will compete with the Audi E-Tron. Set to become Mercedes鈥?first mainstream electric vehicle, the EQC has two electric motor which are powered by an 80 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. This setup gives the crossover all-wheel drive and a combined output of 402 hp and 765 Nm of torque. In terms of performance, the EQC can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 180 km/h. The company also says the model will be able to travel more than 450 km on a single charge in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The other crossover at today鈥檚 event was the 2019 GLE. Set to battle the redesigned BMW X5, the GLE sports an evolutionary design which follows the company鈥檚 latest styling philosophy.





Larger and more luxurious than its predecessor, the GLE will be launched with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 362 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The powertrain also has an EQ Boost function which can temporarily deliver an additional 21 hp and 250 Nm of torque. The engine is connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. Besides the new powertrain, the GLE has an upscale interior with two 12.3-inch displays. The model also has a more spacious second row which can be equipped with segment exclusive six-way power seats. Last but not least, Smart showcased the Forease concept. Designed to pay tribute to the 2001 Crossblade and 2011 Forspeed concepts, the Forease is based on the EQ Fortwo Cabrio and features unique styling inside and out. Mercedes hasn鈥檛 released detailed specifications, but the electric concept likely has a 17.6 lithium-ion battery pack and an electric motor that develops 80 hp and 160 Nm of torque. This should enable the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in approximately 11.8 seconds.





Read on to find out which executive estate will drive off with the prize in its large and luxurious load bay. This fifth-generation Audi A6 is now available in Avant guise and follows the saloon. That car made an impression, so can this even more practical model build on its sibling鈥檚 performance? We鈥檙e testing the A6 Avant 40 TDI S line model to find out. Prices start from 拢44,100 for this spec. As with Audi鈥檚 typically evolutionary approach to its cars鈥?styling, the engineering underneath is an advancement of what went before - although there are some key changes. Chief among these is the new 40 TDI engine, a 201bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel that drives the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It gets 12V mild-hybrid tech to help improve efficiency; Mercedes doesn鈥檛 offer mild-hybrid tech on its diesel E-Class Estate, although you can buy a plug-in hybrid. Audi will follow suit with the newer A6 in time.





The Avant sits on the brand鈥檚 MLB evo platform, which uses a multi-link suspension set-up at the front and rear. There are three suspension packages to choose from. You get steel springs and fixed-rate dampers as standard, with a firmer, sportier tune and a 10mm lower ride height in S line trim. Our test car was fitted with Audi鈥檚 拢1,150 adaptive dampers, while the 拢2,050 air suspension set-up sits above this. This top package isn鈥檛 a necessity, because the regular adaptive dampers work well. The A6鈥檚 interior is a big step on. The twin-screen tech from the A8 flagship has made its way down the range, so there鈥檚 an 8.6-inch HD touchscreen for the climate settings, while an 8.8-inch HD touchscreen for the rest of the multimedia functions sits above this. Our car featured the 拢1,495 Technology Pack, which upgraded this to a 10.1-inch display, adding a 12.3-inch hi-res digital dash panel in place of the standard clocks. It鈥檚 a worthwhile upgrade. Execution and build quality are of the standard we鈥檝e come to expect from Audi. The materials feel more expensive and solid than in the Mercedes, and there鈥檚 a good level of kit.

I had an interesting experience being a part of Bangalore Workshop on Software Testing-3 . While i will write about my experience on being a part of this Workshop separately, i intended to first share a summary on my presentation in this Workshop. The theme of this workshop as unique in many sense. It was Personal excellence & skill development . Being a part of quite a few conferences in the past, this was arguably the first workshop (or a conference) dedicated to this so relevant topic. In short, i knew i had to contribute to this opportunity and i chose a topic quite related and close to my experience. I have uploaded the presentation here . This session was quite close to my heart as i chose to spoke on some experiences that i have been through in the past, which has largely helped me to shape my mind and thinking. While i need to get better at video recording my sessions but till the time i do so, i wanted to Summarize the key points of my talk here.





Before you proceed, just to mention, what follows are just my thoughts on Personal Excellence, which may differs from yours. So do share your perspective. This presentation is just 鈥淎n attempt to define Personal Excellence鈥︹€?rather than a definite guide to Personal Excellence as i am no definite authority on Personal Excellence. Kisi Mahapurush ne kaha hai, success ke pichhe mat bhago. Excellence ka pichha karo. Kamyabi jhakkh mar ke tumhare pichhe aayegi. Some wise soul has told that, don鈥檛 run after success. Follow and conquer Excellence! I believe most of the answers regarding Personal Excellence reside inside us rather than outside. If you read for just half an hour everyday, you could finish a 250 page book in just two weeks' time. That's twenty six books a year. A hundred books in next four years. To learn and grow, make reading (books that make you better) your religion. Just think, what difference would that make to the quality of your mind, your career, your life ?





Habit of reading in itself cannot change you unless you have the necessary will: One of my learnings have been that Reading books or Reading quotes in itself cannot Change you. These acts or habits are powerless in a way as in the mere act of reading alone cannot change you. At the most what it can do is to Inspire you. Unless one matches that Inspiration with will and Inspiration to bring you that positive change you wanted, the whole act of Reading may not be that fruitful in the end. Employees first culture, More than ever in the history of human kind, there is now an unrelenting focus on people and Individual Excellence and Organizations are beginning to understand the same. Excellence in various Life situations: I find Personal Excellence very closely associated with how one deals with different situations you find yourself in. Most of us generally gets to deal with myriad of situations when executing our professions.
