Salon de TDUCK: New Car Releases

[CarMadMike]

I really like that Lexus, first one i've liked since the LFA I think. But yeah those fake exhaust things are the worst I've seen so far.

 

That aston engine sounds amazing, 5.2 litre twin turbo? I have a feeling Astons are going to have rather different performance from here on out.

[superhyper]

That Lexus would be amazing if it wasn't for that hideous grille :eek:

And for all that extra money it will still leak oil....

[TIMELESS]

For 5k? Screw it, yes, absolutely I'd buy that! For those wheels alone... daaayuum :drool:

[RobikV3]

Those indeed are some sexy wheels, but damm 20 inch? Good luck on bumps :D

 

Anybody seen the VLF Force 1??

 

 

 

Its a rebodied Viper, packing the same V10 but pushin out 745 Horses or so, are they mad??

 

Anyway i love that aggresive styling, though the front, kind of reminds of this

 

I mean the headlights are just too small

[CLR-GTR]

Judging from other pictures such as below, you are referring to the DRL's or indicators, and not the main light units which are on the top corners of the intake.

 

[The Compensator]

It has Miata lights, but 10x smaller.

[TIMELESS]

It has Miata lights, but 10x smaller.

 

Nah the car is just 10x bigger :p

Apollo Automobil 'Arrow' teaser:

 

[RobikV3]

Is than an iron?

[CLR-GTR]

And here's a lighter yet small reso shot from a vid of some ego-tripping beardguy:

 

 

Pagani confirmed it will debute at the Geneva motor show, and they also moved the roadster version to a later-this-year introduction.

[CarMadMike]

That VLF looks okay-ish from some angles, but that pic of it that CLR posted is not a good angle for it at all, looks awful, you can tell why most if not all other pics are from lower down.

 

That Apollo? Sexiest Iron ever.

 

That Pagani? Most crazy diffuser ever (if it's road legal anyway). Looks amazing.

[TIMELESS]

That Pagani is hideous... and I love it. :drool:

[RobikV3]

I was wondering if theres gonna be a roadster version of Huayra, but that spoiler on this one looks awful

[CLR-GTR]

Yes there will be, but it's been pushed back without further explaining to later this year.

New Vauxhall GT coupe confirmed for Geneva 2016 show | Auto Express

 

Vauxhall are going to release a new GT-Coupe at Geneva....

 

.....part of me really wants it to be related to or a badge engineered version of that new Buick but I think it'll be sod all like it and be nothing as fast if the reports are anything to go by. Such a shame.

Fixed it for ya. Now to contact AE lol.

 

It's GM, they do nothing else than badge-engineering. Opel has already been suffering over a decade from GM's influence and it also killed Saab (before Spyker took it over and pushed the corpse into the grave).

 

I'm giving you little chance on it becoming a badge-engineered Buick Avista. That car is intended to fill a gap between two performance cars and Opel is not involved in that segment. As that AutoExpress article states, I expect they'll just use something from the range they already have. Doesn't have to be bad though, look at the Speedster.

Focus RS reviews are in.

 

So far so good, but I'll rather wait until the hype fades away...

[CarMadMike]

I didn't find that review to be as positive as I'd thought, all in all it seems to have fitted into the class it's supposed to fit into, with all the hype surrounding its reveal etc it all made it sound as if this was some crazy OMG FORD YOU LEGENDS LULZZZZZZZZZZ vehicle, when in reality it's nothing too out of the box.

 

I think I'd rather have the A45 AMG, without that silly rear wing. I think i'd rather have the GLA45 AMG actually :hmmm:

[CLR-GTR]

The A has very harsh suspension for all day use, and that's already said about normal A's. Not sure about the UK, but on the german/dutch A45's the rear wing is optional equipment.

[CLR-GTR]

Here's the first image of the Opel GT concept:

 

 

This is what the old thing looked like:

 

 

Add a German to it, and you have a teaser video:

That video is awful :lol: Those exhausts are interesting though :mhmm:

Also new stuff on the new TVR:

 

The announcement comes after Operations Director John Chasey confirmed that the brand’s new (and illusive) V8-powered, rear-wheel drive sports car is entirely sold out for 2017. ... TVR claims that those wanting still wanting to order won't see their completed cars until 2018, as production numbers are slowly ramped up.

 

“Our intent is to unveil the styling of the new car in the coming months at a public event.”

 

TVR Automotive plans to bring "at least" four new models to market in the next ten years, with the first being a two-seat sports car sporting a dry-sump Cosworth V8 and claiming "traditional TVR DNA". It'll be front-engined with rear-wheel drive, using a manual transmission and an aerodynamic composite body.

BMW Z5

 

 

 

Replaces the Z4 and is a project between BMW and Toyota. There will be also Z1 and Z3 - the latter being a Toyota & BMW project, too.
