Concept Car: BMW 6-series Coupe 2011

BMW today released the first pictures of the production 6-series coupe, on sale in the UK in October 2011.



Old news... the 6-series launched last year in Paris, didn't it?



That was the all-but-identical 6-series concept. You may also be confusing this car with the 6-series Convertible, which was unveiled at the decidedly un-sunny 2011 Detroit motor show in January 2011. Now, just in time for warmer weather, here's the fixed-roof version of the new BMW Six. Hang on...

2011 BMW 6-series Coupe: the lowdown



Styling of the new BMW 6-series was apparently 'inspired by well designed waves that caused the lines and volumes in the surroundings of a flow around a body of water'. That probably made more sense in the original German, but the result is a more restrained big coupe with fewer of the controversial details that marked out its predecessor.

At 4894mm long and 1894mm wide, the 6-series coupe has grown 75mm and 39mm respectively over the previous edition's dimensions. Make no mistake; this is a big GT coupe.

The engines available on the BMW 6-series

The 6-series will launch with your choice of 402bhp petrol V8 (650i), or 315bhp petrol straight-six (640i) engines. Both engines earn their model numbers with the aid of turbocharging. The diesels comes along later (presumably with mandatory badge-delete for maximum pose effect). Standard transmission will be the ZF eight-speed automatic, teamed-up with the usual raft of Efficient Dynamics eco-friendly features.

As we know from part-electrified BMW saloons and SUVs, this ZF transmission can be mated with hybrid modules, so we wouldn't be surprised if an ActiveHybrid 6-series arrived at some point in the future. But for now you'll have to make do with a donor 5-series-style head-up display, adaptive LED headlamps, adaptive damping, Bang & Olufsen hi-fi and a raft of other comfort and convenience features on the options list.

Inside? We're expecting it to be much as the 6-series cabriolet, BMW's expanded information released after our original story was published show this to be the case. We've updated our photo gallery accordingly.

Concept Car : Hybrid Toyota Supra, the next Ferrarii, and the Toyobaru Coupe 2011

It is time once again a popular news semi-permanent, where you can upgrade some interesting things happening in and around the world can drive, you probably will not read the article. (If you read the newspapers, that is.)

We start with two news sports cars such as Plessy Ferguson and gentlemen, are very different, but equally important.

The first message that, despite repeated denials to the public, Toyota is working on a successor Supra expensive sports cars. There are rumors that a new generation of packaging V6 hybrid drive from a total of 400 horses, but the production of hybrid versions of those life on our planet, thank you very much. RWD is almost certainly a style by the FT-HS concept car inspired by a chance to be. Hope next year's models, a concept car production in autumn 2011.

Toyota FT-HS Concept

Since the success of the Nissan was with him, it is surprising that Toyota waited so long that their average weight of a sports car. It would be interesting to see how the hybrid technology from Toyota is the high efficiency, especially because his only company exploring the possibilities of technology in sports cars. (See below).

A new sports car is being developed in Japan in the second, called "Toyobaru" cheap sports car jointly by Toyota and Subaru. After 7Tune, Sport Subaru STI variant of the device, except that Toyota has decided to offer a car engine.

The report also shows, insider Toyobaru has a style similar to the Lexus LF-A, which was a violation of the super-fans for many years, a concept car, a prototype machine, and even thinly veiled racism. Can it be assumed that the joint task Toyobaru (do not know how they will name it, I love the sound here) want to keep the price of 2 million yen today, a little 'more than $ 20,000.

The LF-A attempts to hide by closing its eyes and pretending it's invisible.

If they, the U.S. at that price, engine components up to 200-hp four-cylinder and six-speed manual transmission, which can begin in me. If at any time in the 2011 queue.



In other news related to sports cars, Ferrari, said that his successor can Autocar F430 show this year% u2019s Los Angeles Auto Show in December, as a hybrid. Go to another wipe the screen just caught spitting, I expect.

Yes, friends, Ferrari usually between Bentley and Pratt & Whitney is organic does the idea that, hey, can perhaps begin hybrids fun! In fact, the recent patent hybrid four-wheel drive in an environmentally friendly technology, which seems strange that George Clooney nipple suit beats.

Do not wait for the AWD hybrid system F450, new construction, because all evidence points to a new center-Ferrari reveal your real name. The company is naturally concerned that customers are willing to "green" moniker Ferrari, concepts related to the hybrid version will be this winter. F450 Hybrid production is scheduled from mid-next decade.



Few details are known to F450, but I did not expect the formula that a 360 Modena, F430 V8 engine and a high success rate, two seats and has been stylishly. Energy is probably between 500-550 hp, seven speed dual clutch gearbox California.



In addition, in the human CzechFerrari.cz some pictures, which the F450 there is a right. Images do not reveal much, because the prototype of their miss back before and of its wheels and most interiors. But if nothing else, with reference to the general shape of the car, and it looks pretty good so far. (For some reason, no pictures, so that they may be, but can provide all CzechTrade Ferrari pages of pictures.)



Finally, Kelley Blue Book published a list of what they describe as the best car this year, less than $ 18,000. Although he is not picky (oh, I say, screw that I have nits) a few words. First, Kelley says, the car less than $ 18,000, unless it is literally a car Big 18 species fell on the roof. Second, it seems that some peaks are required. Approach SYNC which reads aloud incoming tweets, but does not alter the fact that the skin was more or less the same car is sold ten years ago .

Concept car : Cadillac Bringing CTS-V Coupe 2010

Cadillac has revealed that a V-Series high-performance variant of the new 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe will share the spotlight with a new concept at the Detroit auto show next month. The concept is believed to be a pre-production version of either the ATS or XTS small and large cars that Cadillac has been teasing over the past year or so.



So far, Cadillac has released only this tightly cropped teaser picture of the unnamed concept and the promise that it will showcase the latest advances in Cadillac's Art and Science design language. While the picture purposely obscures the vehicle, we can see that it is a sedan and bears significant resemblance to the current CTS but with new headlights and mirrors likely too small to see production.

Based on information provided by our own Todd Lassa during a no-photographs open house at GM headquarters back in August, we believe this concept is the XTS. Lassa described the XTS as having a short axle-to-dash ratio and a grille that blended styling elements of the Sixteen and Converj concepts. The car he was shown was also painted gray while the ATS was painted blue, though GM has had more than enough time to repaint them. The ATS, meanwhile, was described as having a shorter, wider grille to make the car look wider, not taller. This picture appears to suggest a larger car, but the angle makes it difficult to be certain.

If it is the XTS, it will most likely be built on a stretched version of GM's Epsilon II FWD architecture and will likely feature the 3.6L direct-injection V-6 engine and will offer AWD. If it's the ATS, it will be RWD-based and will likely utilize both V-6 and four-cylinder engines. Both cars are planned for a 2011 debut likely as 2012 models.
