For two or three years, coinciding with the acquisition of the brand by Tata, the British manufacturer has reinvented itself almost completely. After the new versions of the XK range and made new all-aluminum XJ, Jaguar introduced the C-X75 in the last Geneva Motor Show, anticipating the future super-sports brand of the cat. Now, however, the spotlight is on a much more “affordable” sports car that points directly to the waterline models like the Boxster / Cayman or 911 himself, and has credentials that positioned as a serious alternative to the tandem of Stuttgart. Although currently a concept car, you just need to take a look at the images inside to discover that the C-X16 is not far from a possible production version.

Undoubtedly, one of the most striking in the new coupe is the propeller British hiding under the hood. Rather than opt for a powerful V8 as their “cousins” of Aston Martin V12 or decaffeinated like riding the XK, the new C-X16 equipped with a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 capable of delivering an output of 380 hp and torque maximum of 450 Nm. So far, no big deal, right? Well wait, because there’s more. The new engine developed by Jaguar mounted an energy recovery system on the brakes very similar to the cars that use KERS in Formula 1. This small electric motor is capable of generating 95 hp and 235 hp Torque Nm additional hit-and-drop for 10 seconds through a button “Push to Pass” button on the steering wheel. The result is par-total of 685 Nm engine, equivalent to 56% higher yields than the engine of the new Porsche 911.

Also, this hybrid system in the C-X16 also allows you to move in all-electric mode as long as not overcome the 80 km / h. The new engine that equips the C-X16 marks the path that will be the new generation of highly efficient engines being developed by Jaguar. In this sense, the 3.0 V6 supercharged the new C-X16 emits only 165 g / km of CO2 into the atmosphere, giving a consumption of only 6.8 l/100 km combined cycle. Undoubtedly, these figures place the new cat as a benchmark in the category, without compromising on sportsmanship is expected of a model with these features. The best of both worlds, efficiency and sportiness, Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. The change, in turn, is an automatic eight relations responsible for sending power directly to the rear wheels.

Aesthetically, little can be said of Ian Cullum design not say the images themselves: the new Jaguar C-X16 Concept is spectacular look where you look. The body is considerably shorter than the Jaguar XK (349 mm to be exact), something that could check the first spy photos of the model. In fact, with a distance of only 4445 mm in length, the C-X16 is the shortest model Jaguar since 1954, when the British introduced the XK120 precious. One of the things that attracted the most attention is the generous distance between both axes, especially when you consider the compact size of Britain’s new coupe, as well as front and rear overhangs a practically nonexistent. If to this we add a body made of aluminum (as usual in the latest model of the house), a weight that is less than 1,600 kilos and an almost ideal weight distribution of 50:50 front-back, we can assume that the benefits of the new Jaguar does not detract in the least the aesthetics of the model.

In this sense, and apparently seen, it is not surprising that the new British coupe is capable of reaching 300 km / h speed limit, accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds and recovering 80 to 120 km / h in 2.1. In short, they are figures that place it close to sports as the Porsche 911, the model that everyone wants to beat but very few have succeeded. Do it or not the proposed new Jaguar only time will tell. The thing certainly promises. The next September 13th will be presented with full honors at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but the production still have to wait until well into 2012. The price? Just over € 62,000. Sounds good, right?

As for the final design of the new Infiniti JX, I must say that the model that we present today, is far too little of the final model and we will see production in 2013, and shares various elements of the Essence Infiniti Concept that was shown at the 2009, and also take certain details of the new Infiniti FX 2012 that I presented recently. The evolutionary design of this JX, involving the best possible way to seven passengers enjoy a luxurious comfort, as Infiniti is trying to achieve with the JX, becoming the leader of the luxury crossover.

For example, one of the details of this crossover is that the second row of seats may be folded and moved to access the best possible way to the third row of seats, which as you know, we usually always have problems to access them, if we are also stout.

As for the equipment which will be available in the Infiniti Concept JX 2013, is the 14 Bose speakers, as well as rear camera (very useful in this model) and the radar-monitoring system that would act Backup Collision Intervention on the pedal brake in a crash back down, and the Infiniti system Telematics Connection, Personal Assistant and Infiniti, which consists of personal assistance through a team of professional assistants for 24 hours, and will help us at all times if we have trouble on the road.

All this, accompanied by a new V6 capable of delivering about 328 hp and 400 Nm, which is an enhanced and improved engine of 3.7-liter V6 that equips Nippon mark in his other luxury models. This combined with a variable automatic transmission or CVT, which will have Sport mode and Eco, to improve both performance and fuel consumption. And of course, all this with a wheel drive system.

For now, say that this version would be presented at Pebble Beach, but not excluding other, as well attested by the record of the names Jx20 Infiniti, JX25, JX30 JX25h and that is, that many will come more variants, even with a hybrid, so it is clear that while the JX not change much in the final design, it could do in terms of engines, and we bet that this will happen.

We do not know if we will see this model at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but they have recognized that in the Infiniti Hall Los Angeles in November we will have additional information on this interesting and dramatic Infiniti JX. Until then, we leave you with photos of the launch event of JX, a model that will be talking about, no doubt.

One such architecture abstraction is the Current by Maxim Ostapenko, a alum of Pasadena, California’s Art Center College of Design.

Essentially a four-door all-electric alehouse car to attempt with the brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series and Jaguar XF, the Tesla Current shares its architecture ancestry with the brand of the Mercedes-Benz F800 Style and the Citroen Survolt concepts.

The Current was advised for the NAFTA Superhighway: a ten-lane alley that would accompany Canada, the United States of American and Mexico. Four of the ten-lanes would be acclimated alone for trucks branch arctic and south with goods.

The Current’s aqueous shape, partially-enclosed rear auto and cab-rearwards architecture abide to back a faculty of acceleration and advice it carve through the air like a windjammer. You can analysis out our abounding arcade of images and leave a animadversion below.

Ingolstadt’s fresh touring archetypal is based on the facelifted A5 Coupe that was presented beforehand this anniversary and it complies with the fresh abstruse and assurance regulations that will appear in aftereffect in the German touring archetypal championship abutting year.

The fresh Audi A5 DTM sports a high-strength carbon-fiber monocoque accumulated with a animate tube cage. The antagonism archetypal adopts the accepted A4 DTM’s V8 agent with some accessory changes and an achievement or about 460-horses. A six-speed manual will abide to be acclimated as well.

For now, Audi has aggregate a leash of renderings of the A5 DTM but we’ll get the adventitious to see the absolute affair at the accessible Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Infusing the DS’s 64-year-old styling with the new Citroen design language introduced through concepts like the Revolt and Survolt, the DS24 is a real looker. With aggressive haunches, sliding rear doors, an almost Corvette-like nose and shapely rump, the Nouveau DS was imagined for Citroen’s Centenary in 2019.
