Also both the 2.4L I-4 and 3.5L V-6 engines that yield improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and longer engine life


Japanese automaker decided to drop pricing details along with a slew of new photos of 2012 ( Acura ) and than the car will launch on March 18. There was little change in the style of the car. Please jump to view more photos and info Acura ZDX
 
The 2010 Acura ZDX is in an elite subcategory of the SUV world. It’s the same combination of futuristic styling and impressive performance that makes this vehicle             intriguing 

2012 New Audi E-Tron Spyder









There are no details plans for this one product, product with limited production quantity has been long awaited by his fans. Audi is reportedly going product in a 1000 production of this unit, of course, attracting more attention from other car makers. Audi Company was already famous for its production of goods that



 make a clicking sound impress the consumer. It was not that long walk in the automotive world, but indeed all the qualities of the products have been famous throughout the world. Audi presents their new product the 2012 Audi E-Tron Spyder at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. A high-performance sport car with all-electric



 drive system and plug-in hybrid feature. Four motor – two each at the front and rear axles -drive the wheels, making the car a true quattro.
The Audi E-Tron Spyder has simple interior is strongly oriented toward the driver and features two lightweight sports seats, a slim dash, a central control unit for all the car’s functions and a flush-mounted selector lever for the automatic transmission that extends upward from the tunnel when the vehicle is started. Behind the seats are two cowls that gradually taper toward the rear and also flank the opening for the TDI












 engine. These cowls also contain the normally hidden rollover bars, which like in the production R8 Spyder shoot up within milliseconds and lock into place in the event of an emergency.
Exterior design on the Audi E-Tron Spyder be based on the R8 – features race-style triangular double wishbones at the front and a trapezoidal-link rear suspension made of forged aluminum components, and the car sits on 20-inch blade design wheels with 245/30 tyres up front and 265/30 tyres at the rear. The Audi E


-Tron Spyder also having a short wheelbase – at 2430mm, it is some 220mm less than the R8 – the Spyder is still quite short overall at 4060mm, is 1810mm wide and stands just 1110mm high. The Audi E-Tron Spyder is also equipped with frameless side glass surfaces taper downward toward the rear while the windshield is strongly bowed and inclined like the visor of a helmet. The front end is dominated by the huge single-frame grille and the two smaller intakes on either side feed cooling air to the electric drive system and





also the TDI engine at the rear of the vehicle. All the light units use LED technology and the charging station for the batteries is located beneath the trademark four rings above the grille. Plenty of carbon-fibre components spread around the car, including the rear licence plate panel and the engine cover, which also features aluminium and leather to link it with the interior




.
The Audi E-Tron Spyder is equipped with complex electronic systems control the power delivered by each motor at the front, combined with the diesel power to the rear wheels, to provide central control of the entire drive system in combination with the ESP. Under normal driving, 75 per cent of the mid-engined car’s power goes to the rear wheels and 25 per cent to the front, but this can be varied according to the conditions and



 car behavior. Weighing only 1450kg, with a short wheelbase and perfect 50:50 weight distribution, the Audi e-tron Spyder is said to have the driveability of a go-kart and handling that is neutral right up to the (very high) limit.

2012 New Honda FC Sport

Let’s see more pictures about Honda FC Sport Stylish Design

Ford Focus 2012


with a brilliant chassis, a zippy and frugal Zetec engine, a crisp manual transmission and enough personality and quality inside and out the cars sold by the boatload. Then things started to go downhill. Materials quality was reduced, cost cutting removed sound deadening and the car began to feel chintzy. The 2005 refresh turned an interesting car into an ugly one and then in 2008 Ford really stabbed enthusiasts in the heart. While the European Focus was winning nearly every award on the continent, they shoveled a hideous, cheap feeling, coarse, terrible driving vehicle wearing the Focus name. The car boasted fantastic new technology








unprecedented in the segment, but it was a disappointment to say the least.This 2012 Focus is not a disappointment. It's absolutely everything enthusiasts have been asking for. It's a global car with at least 80% content shared across the globe. It's once again daring in its styling, sleek and rather sexy, polarizing and above all interesting. They've managed to create a sedan as attractive if not more so than the hatchback, oh, and they're bringing back the proper hatchback. There are clever details throughout; The hatchback's fuel door is camouflaged behind a diamond-shaped panel under the passenger tail light. The Z-shaped "Zorro Clip" as the designers call it, is a not-so-subtle character line on the front door. It also points to how confident Ford is about their tolerances and hinges, if any part doesn't measure up, it'll show.

Inside it's much the same story. The new Focus has a packed with high technology and handsome shapes, grippy seats, excellent door coverings and with plenty of room all around. It's got the Sync system of course but also the new MyFord system and Sony audio, passive keyless entry, rain sensing wipers, a park assist system, and rear camera. The car rides on an all-new chassis made of high-strength steel and designed with Ford's Trinity crash structure. They're targeting award-winning ride and handling and doing it with electric power steering, dynamic cornering control and a torque vectoring differential. You'll be able to get a huge set of 235/40R19 tires, that's plenty of grip.

Under the hood there's a direct injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder with twin independent variable cam timing producing "better than 150 HP." It's paired with a manual six speed or the Powershift dual clutch automatic. Of course we're frothing at the mouth fat the prospect of these cars getting an Ecoboost four cylinder making an easy Focus RS or SVT. Ford, thank for finally, finally reuniting the Euro Focus with the US model, and doing it with some swagger. We look forward to tossing it into a corner and hopefully coming out on the other side grinning ear to ear.

2012 Acura RL



2012 Acura RLAcura is a brand well known for innovation in motor vehicle technology, and 2012 promises to offer groundbreaking new features for the RL model. While Acura has been reticent about new models of the RL, the 2012 RL will most likely be released in autumn of 2011, in keeping with the RL’s tradition of being a midyear sedan that vastly improves upon other sedans unleashed in the same year.
Performance Features
The well-known car manufacturer has not yet released how the next generation of the RL model will differ from previous years, but predictions can be made based on how Acura has revamped other vehicles recently. One possible option is for the RL to be revamped as a rear-wheel drive car with a V8 engine, making it a more powerful version of the V6 2010 RL. While V8 engines are not yet standard in any sedans, the 2012 RL promises to subvert this paradigm.
In the past, the RL has been known for mid-year updates that combine the features of the Acura high-performance cars with the comfort of a sedan. The 2006 RL showcased the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive that could invest all of the vehicle’s power into one turn of the wheel, and was one of the initial Acura sedans to include a 300 horsepower V6 engine as a standard inclusion. These capabilities allowed the Acura RL to successfully compete with rival BMW vehicles with similar features at a much lower price tag.
Safety Features
The 2012 RL will integrate a number of features previously included in earlier models, all of which will be standard. The braking systems will include the vehicle stability assist and tire pressuring monitoring system aspects, as well as a variety of general security aspects including active front head restraints, child safety locks, and body modifications that protect both sides of the car from collisions

Acura NSX





The Acura NSX was the first vehicle I ever drove in which I felt I could never make a mistake. With predictable mid-engine balance and a refined V6 power curve, it could be driven through the turns with a deft touch; the NSX didn't have to be manhandled like the original Viper.

Now I feel like the replacement for the NSX is taking on some of the Viper's virtues. Called the "Advanced Sports Car Concept," the show-stopping debut at the Acura press conference revealed a V10 engine mounted in the front--just like the Viper. Other fang-like cues include long hood, short-deck proportions and an overall feeling of more muscle and less finesse; more quarter horse and less thoroughbred.

Renault Clio


Renault Clio
Renault Clio – NEW ‘SILVERSTONE GP’ LIMITED EDITIONS OF TWINGO AND CLIO RENAULTSPORT TAKE TO THE TRACK (AND ROAD)
Twingo Renaultsport 133 and Clio Renaultsport 200 ‘Silverstone GP’ limited editions now available to order, priced £14,995 and £19,995
Following the recent launch of the flagship 265hp Trophy version of Mégane Renaultsport, its two smaller, but no less thrilling, performance siblings, Twingo and Clio Renaultsport, now welcome their own top-of-the-range versions, the ‘Silverstone GP’ limited editions, on sale from 1st July 2011.
Renault UK has an existing relationship with Silverstone, the country’s most famous motor racing circuit and home of the British Grand Prix, through a fleet of Renaultsport trackday experience cars and the venue for several of the performance division’s trackdays, so it was only natural that the French marque took it as its latest inspiration.
Both new models have been specifically created for the UK market, still the largest home of Renault’s hot hatches worldwide, with only 50 of each available. The effusive Twingo Renaultsport 133, costs £14,995, while the top-of-the-range Clio Renaultsport 200 comes in at £19,995. With a wealth of extra equipment over the standard Renaultsport versions on which they’re based, both limited editions offer exceptional value-for-money, combined with added exclusivity.
Both cars share the same purposeful stance, as if they were specifically honed to grace the Silverstone tarmac. Each sits on lowered Cup Chassis with a striking combination of silver metallic paint and contrasting ‘Deep Black’ details, including 17” alloy wheels (‘Speedline’ on the Clio), roof and door mirrors. Completing the exclusive look, both of the new limited edition Renaultsports also feature extra-tinted rear windows and Silverstone GP B-pillar badges inscribed with the new grand prix circuit map. The Twingo also benefits from a matching ‘Deep Black’ rear spoiler and fog light surrounds.
The pocket-rocket Twingo notably gains an all-new Renaultsport full stainless steel exhaust system, providing a suitable throaty soundtrack to match its visual presence.
On the inside, the two new versions boast a unique numbered interior plaque (1-50), Renaultsport Monitor onboard performance tracking system and grey and black Renaultsport carpet mats. The Clio also features Renaultsport Recaro front seats, Bluetooth and multi-functional TunePoint for portable music players.
Track-bred from the outset, owners of both new limited editions also receive a free Renaultsport Experience at Silverstone, usually £175, so that they can explore the full handling and performance potential of their new metal in a real circuit environment, but under the expert tuition of a fully-qualified instructor.
Both Silverstone GP limited editions are available to order from 1st July. The Twingo Renaultsport 133 version costs £14,995 and the Clio Renaultsport 200 £19,995on-the-road.
