Salon de TDUCK: New Car Releases

Le Porsche 718 Boxster

Moar

 

So much want. The only thing I dislike is that starting handle looking thing under the front license plate but not all versions have it. http://teknikensvarld.se/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/porsche-718-boxster-02-700x495.jpg

Even though the external changes are pretty small, I totally prefer that to the older one :eek:

[Andreas¹]

Yeah it's got pretty much the same shapes as the current Boxster but feels very new. :hmmm: I really like the rear spoiler and the location of the Porsche badging. :nods: I think Porsche are one of the very few, if not the only one, to not fall in the "the only reason to buy X is because you can't afford Y" trap.

Remember that Opel GT concept? HERE IT IS!

 

As expected, it doesn't have a massive engine and power near that of a Porsche. It has a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder with 145 hp and 205 Nm torque. Despite the weird red highlighting of the front wheels, the car is rear wheel drive and its weight is under 1000 kg. 0-100 km/h is done in under 8 seconds and the top speed is 215 km/h.

Cute little concept, I'm willing to give the Opel/Vauxhall bunch a bit of leeway as it's just good to see them coming up with concepts and sporty looking things after a period of awful dull creations.

 

That 718 is :drool: Absolutely stunning. I agree the radar/camera in the bumper is a bit meh, and the rear diffuser plastic area looks a bit basic (but it has done on the previous model too, just wished it had changed....)

[Eudemon]

Not sure what to think of it but I really hope they build it!

[CLR-GTR]

I would get out a spray can and make the diffuser really black. The radar is still a bit of a let down considering it's all across the VAG range, from Skoda/Polo to Boxster and Panamera.

 

Also just posted on a dutch blog is a picture of what's said to be a DB11 driving on Spanish roads for video captures.

 

[CarMadMike]

Love those rims from the DB10, great they'll be on a proper production car.

 

I quite like the look of that from a first glance, I spotted it on Jalopnik about the same time you posted it here :lol:

 

That rear haunch is rather large. This could either be really beautiful or a huge disappointment.

[CLR-GTR]

Spoiler looks a bit like those on the newer Porsche's, extending a bit into the tail lights. Also, when I first saw that picture, I thought it had silver colored roof arches (like what the A1 has)... even though I think Aston Martin won't do that, I can't get that image out of my head xD

 

 

 

 

EDIT: even more news: Panamera is saying goodbye to its center console button array.

 

[CarMadMike]

Considering people love the interior of the Panamera and hate the outside, if they've ruined the inside while not really improving the exterior then it'll be a major :fp: It'd still sell though haha.

 

TBF that doesn't look too bad, they seem to be moving everything to be controllable on the infotainment screen which is fine.

[CLR-GTR]

It's most likely gonna be a mix of a touch screen and touch-sensitive surfaces. The new E-Class has similar surfaces on the steeringwheel spokes, that allow control by swiping, much like a smartphone.

[Andreas¹]

The new S90 is now out on the Volvo configurator which means all the optional blingy things have been revealed as well. Yes I will post my own specced out one in that thread :p but for now I'll say 1) I love the little optional ducktail spoiler and quad exhausts :D and 2) I almost think it looks better with the smaller wheels on it.

[T1M]

Boxter no longer has lines in the tail lights. Damnit. Otherwise it looks alright, no major improvement...

[CLR-GTR]

And here's that Huayra BC. Some sites think the BC stands for Benny Caiola, a supercar collector.

 

[CLR-GTR]

More scooping: the new Aston's interior. Apart from the massive tablet screen and the seats, I find it hard to say which parts are part of it being a mule and which parts are there to stay, but I can't imagine Aston lovers being happy with this. It's too much Mercedes. A W221 S-Class button panel slapped to the side of the center console, the steeringwheel, the stalks, the current-gen tunnel console button 'dish', the wide display (aka digital gauges...).

 

[CarMadMike]

C-Class Cabrio spotted, will this replace the E-Class Cabrio or will the new E-Class still spawn a Coupe/Cabrio version too?

 

 

 

[CarMadMike]

Someone hold back Calster....... if only he could import one from India :p It's the Renault Kwid, the twingo for India's market, but a race concept :nods:

 

 

Pretty cool looking thing.

[CLR-GTR]

C-Class Cabrio spotted, will this replace the E-Class Cabrio or will the new E-Class still spawn a Coupe/Cabrio version too?

 

 

 

The C will follow what the E already was and stays, so both get a coupe ánd convertible. Also, they will all get AMG versions as well. AMG admitted about 2 years ago that the lack of an E-Coupe or Cabriolet AMG was a big misjudgement from their side and they're gonna fix it for the upcoming model.

 

Also, this is said E-Coupe, although I wonder if it's not just waste of bandwidth posting this picture considering it's eh.... quite similar to C/S. I don't like the rear end of it. It looks more like a C-Coupe with its very short trunk if you think away the camouflage padding, so it almost could look like a fastback.

Pretty cool looking thing.

 

Not really my cup of that that, looks like a facelifted & tuned Sandero Stepway...

[CLR-GTR]

When I first saw this picture (and because of which, now can't get this thought out of my head anymore), I thought: ow look, a moody picture of an earlier model Viper:

 

 

Turns out it's a teaser for the Ferrari FF facelift lol.

[carlos_69]

When i saw that i thought that Porsche was bringing back the 1st gen cayenne front, but then i saw the ferrari logo

[CarMadMike]

The GTC4Lusso:

 

Images from Top Gear

 

It takes the 4WD of the FF, adds in the rear wheel steering of the F12TDF, 30bhp increase on the FF to 680, 3.4 sec 0-60 and 208mph top speed.

 

I absolutely love it. It's so much better looking than the FF, more powaahhhh, and the interior looks a lot better too. Love the rear lights too, very Ferrari-like :nods: Which is good considering it is one.

[CLR-GTR]

Looks good, though I want to see it in different colors.... Yellow and red maybe, or blue.

 

 

Some more pictures:

 

 

 

[superhyper]

Those double taillights are sooo goood :nods:

[carlos_69]

that rear makes me remember the 456 GT Venice Estate
