  1. Both the GT-S and the F-Type should never have the fixed rear wing option ticked. Jesus.

     

    I agree. It totally kills the rear end.

     

     

    Also, finally saw a Smart CrossBlade :D

     

    For some reason, I remember that the Crossblades were popular in Mallorca 12+ years ago. I've seen a few there, and even my grandma still remembers them to this day.

    Had a look at a Jaguar Mark II 3.8. I was told it's an original race car with an inline-six recently built in the UK up to factory spec, although the guy who is working on it has modified the cooling system as these cars like to overheat. It was a rusty shell with the cage already installed, then repainted here and the guy is getting it all together. It is all original sans the exhaust, brakes, and mandatory safety features such as the Sparco buckets and fuel tank.

  3. Great post, that is really appreciated Tom :hi5:

     

    Took me a lot of time, so thanks.

     

     

    • Looking forward to seeing that V40, is it a facelift or a completely 'new' model as they say, doesn't look that different, more aesthetic changes than anything? It'll still make it more of an attractive alternative than ever before.

     

    All Volvos, starting with the XC90, will be on a brand-new platform. No more than four cylinders.

     

     

     

    I adored the 1st gen A5... I'm not sure I will this time. Looks long, bland... uninspired.

     

    Yeah, the pre-facelift A5 was very nice... then they kinda killed with the facelift.

  4. Audi's new A5 coming in June 2016:

    Biturbo V6 RS 4 Avant at the Ring:

     

     

    2017? Audi A8 D5 spotted:

    It's said to be a revolution in Audi's design language, most likely inspired by the Prologue concept.


    BMW announced today Summer 2016 updates.

     

    The 1 & 2 Series have been given the B58 6-cylinder engine which is now replacing the old N55 unit that was used in all 35i & 40i models. All B58 models will be named "40i." The M140i (F20, F21) & M240i (F22, F23) now produce 250 kW/ 340 PS/ 335 hp, 500 Nm/ 369 ft lb. That equals to a 14PS and 50Nm bump over the old car.

     

    The 4-cylinder petrols (120i, 220i, 230i) have also been replaced, with a slight power bump of 7 PS. 184, 224, and 252 PS now.

     

    Also, there's the new 400PS 6-cylinder diesel engine with four turbos that is going to be in the 7 Series first. 750(L)d xDrive.

     

    The last thing is an update for the iDrive system. New menu and bigger resolution.

    Chevrolet's new Camero Z/28:

    and the rumor has it that the new allegedly-mid-engined C8 Corvette, code named "ZERV", will be showed at NAIAS in January 2018. Chevy has trademarked an "E-Ray" moniker, so maybe a hybrid/electric Vette is possible, too.


    Ford

     

    Carbon fiber wheels also for the GT.

     

    8.5x20 front, 11.5x20 rear; .9 kg saved per wheel. Available in both matte and clear-coated version. Prices unknown, though a replacement set for the GT350R is $14,000. They are made by an Australian company called Carbon Revolution.

    Mercedes-Benz

     

    For China only, there's a LWB version of the new E-class; 140mm longer than the standard E - 5,063 mm. Longer than the big Range Rover, by the way.

    E 63 AMG for the rich Dutch campers spotted:

    For 2017, the G-class gets a newer, bigger Command nav display.

     

    That's all I think.

     

     


    Volvo has showed an upcoming hybrid Volvo over Snapchat... Welcome to 2016. :oook:

     

    XC40 hybrid and maybe the V40. Will be unveiled tomorrow in Göteborg. Andai?
