All is explainable – for Porsche model 911 is the most important. For this reason work on car operational development will occupy so a lot of time.

Design Porsche 911 following generations as usually at Porsche, will make in the same style, as at the previous model. But thus the novelty will not have any old carbody details! Besides, engineers will cardinally shake up a suspender, after all will increase not only length, but also width of the car. As the car while nobody knows will look. However artists already offer the variants. Look at one of them.

Russian Volkswagen – the first sketch!

Volkswagen, at last, has published the first drawings of a new sedan which will be issued at factory in Kaluga.

For comparison, now the cheapest car of mark Volkswagen (it is a question about new Polo) costs from 472 000 rubles.

Thus the sedan which will be constructed, by the way, on platform Polo, will appear much more largely a hatchback. According to Frank Vittemann, the head of mark Volkswagen in Russia, according to company preliminary plans, sale of a new sedan will begin this autumn (then the prices will be declared also).

Volvo XC30. First Photo!

Last week in Internet appears information that Volvo plans to exhaust one more crossover which will receive name XC30. And here today there were first images of this model.

McLaren MP4-12C – all features of new supercar!

Yesterday in Woking has been officially presented supercar MP4-12C and plans on the further expansion of a lineup are opened. As underline in McLaren, the beginning of manufacture of a novelty is, as a matter of fact, a birth of new mark of sport cars. Unlike legendary McLaren F1 (circulation – 107 copies), the new project is aimed at serial release supercars – to 4 000 pieces in a year. Besides, after MP4-12C the firm plans to exhaust variety of new cars and to impose struggle Ferrari not only on lines "Formula-1", but also in a car business.

It is expected that besides MP4-12C in scale McLaren will appear two more models with the same ideology: central-motor double coupes. Presumably, one will take a place on a step below 600-strong MP4-12C to compete with younger versions Porsche 911, and another marks at more expensive luxury category where will start to compete already with flagman Ferrari and Aston Martin. Also on the basis of MP4-12C there will be a cabriolet and even more powerful version of a coupe.

From the moment of publication first photos MP4-12C to the official premiere has passed hardly more half a year. And in this time the firm already has time to receive 1 600 forward orderings from potential buyers. Though a production plan the next year when sales, only 1 000 copies will begin.

In Woking knows, possession of supercar is a special way of life. Not only the limiting delight at the wheel, but also limiting complexities at service and repair. In due time British have amazed all: if McLaren demands repair, the technical expert of factory will take off to the owner a supercar for any point of the world. Such were Service conditions supercars F1. However, 35 dealer centres which will be engaged in sale of cars MP4-12C in 19 countries of the world too intend to amaze the clients. Still before the first car is sold to the buyer, the dealer is obliged to complete a warehouse of spare parts with all necessary details which only can be necessary. Thus if on a metre panel the indicating lamp testifying to this or that failure is fired, the driver can send pressing of one key the SMS-MESSAGE with an error code to the general database McLaren and simultaneously to the dealer that for arrival on service of the master had time to prepare all necessary and to make repair in the shortest terms.

The prices on MP4-12C are not declared yet, but according to preliminary data the sport car will cost from $190 000 to $270 000.

But we can already discuss appearance of the car now.

And looking at photos it becomes clear that new Magentis will not have something in common with the old. The car looks very interestingly, at all without losing in design to the more eminent competitors. And inside, most likely, flagman Kia it will appear rather interesting.

Audi RS5 Sport

On a motor show in Geneva Germans have presented top of modelling scale Audi5 - sport RS5.

That is in Ingolstadt have even more strongly confused a situation with motors. Judge: at coupe S5 – 354-strong V8, and at cabriolet S5 – 3 litres compressor "six", as well as at S4! And RS6 can brag turbo V10.



But it is not necessary to complain of shortage of capacity. Under cowl Audi RS5 this engine develops 450 "horses" and 430 Nm a twisting moment. As a result the 1725-kilogramme coupe reaches "hundreds" for 4,6 seconds, and the maximum speed as usually, have limited on a mark of 250 km/h. However, for surcharge "collar" will kindly slacken to 280 km/h.

Pair of words about an all wheel drive. As it was nowadays moved, quattro distributes a twisting moment in the relation 40:60. Certainly, in favour of a rear axle to which now helps also interwheel differential with electronic control. In general to go RS5 should very adequately. Especially, on optional wheels with tyres Pirelli P Zero of dimension 275/30 R20 (in the standard – 19-inch disks).

With brakes too an order. In front – 8-piston calipers with 360-millimetric compound disks (the nave is made of aluminium, a rotor – from pig-iron). For solid surcharge – composit carbono ceramics in diameter of 380 mm. And it is possible not only to translate stabilisation system in a sports mode of behaviour, but also completely to disconnect.

In Europe sales of a super-coupe from Audi will begin already till the end of spring of 2010 and under the price (from 77 700 euros) RS5 gets between S5 (from 58 150 euros) and middle motor R8 (from 109 100 euros). To Russia cars will reach only in October. The prices for our market will be known more close by the autumn, but it is possible to assume that will cost RS5 in any way less 3,5 million roubles for a base complete set.
