Zack — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 23:13:58 +0000

Hartge once more come with a great design for BMW Roadster idea, a new 2010 BMW Z4 Roadster. For the exterior, Hartge has created a new front apron that covers the air inlets, carbon fiber mirror caps, a discreet boot lid spoiler, a wind deflector, pin stripes and a four-piece exhaust system.

After showing us its initial offerings for the new BMW Z4 that were limited to a few alloy wheel options, a dual-pipe exhaust system and a new speedometer, Hartge has taken one step further by releasing a new set of upgrades for the hardtop roadster.

Customers can also give the hardtop roadster an even sportier stance with the addition of Hartge’s alloy wheels that are available in numerous designs in sizes 18- to 20-inches, and a suspension lowering kit.

A set of aluminum pedals, a new instrument cluster and specific floor mats are some of the options offered for the interior.

Those that are interested in juicing up the Z4’s powerplants will have to wait until next year when the company is expected to reveal its engine kit program.

Russia’s Top Car isn’t the only tuner tampering around with the recently revealed, but not yet available, 2011 BMW 5-Series sedan. So is Racing Dynamics, otherwise known as RDSport in the USA. The Italian tuner that specializes on BMW products, has released a teaser photo (chop) and preliminary specs on the bmw 535i R35 and the 550i R50S that will both receive a bevy of performance and styling mods.

While Racing Dynamics has not yet released specific details on the engine upgrades, the tuner said that the 535i R35’s 3.0-liter inline-six with the twin-scroll turbocharger will receive an extra boost to produce 410HP and 383lb-ft torque for an estimated 0-60mph (96km/h) sprint time of 5.3 seconds, or 0.7 seconds faster than the standard 306HP 535i.

The range-topping 550i with the R50S package will deliver an output of 620-horsepower versus the factory model’s 407HP 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8.

In addition to the engine mods, the Bavarian sedans will also benefit from a custom made exhaust system, a high performance braking system, a new rear-locking differential and a retuned and lowered suspension with new gas struts for the front axle and gas-pressurized shock absorbers for the rear.

The package will be rounded off with new 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels, an aero kit and various options for the interior including special trim inlays.

Bugatti Renaissance Design Concept: Veyron Supercar Reinterpreted

Zack — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:23:21 +0000

We’re not sure when or if Bugatti will present a direct successor to the 1,001-horsepower Veyron, but if the VW Group-owned company does, John Mark Vicente, a Canadian graduate of the Communication Design program at the Emily Carr University, would like to believe that it may look something like this. Named the Bugatti Renaissance, the conceptual proposal builds on the qualities of the 16-cylinder supercar.

Fiat Group’s Revised 2010-2011 Product Plan

Zack — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:19:46 +0000

Bypassing the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Fiat Doblo van that we already know about, Fiat’s product plan concentrates on Lancia, a brand that up until now, was clearly neglected by the Italian firm. That’s going to change now that Fiat has linked Lancia’s portfolio with Chrysler’s lineup.

First of all, 2010 will see a minor facelift for the Ypsilon mini and Musa mini MPV as well as a model year update on the Delta that is rumored to be revealed with a Chrysler badge at next month’s Detroit auto show.

2011, however, promises to be a significant year for Lancia as Fiat plans to introduced four new vehicles -all of which will be derived from Chrysler models- to the brand’s European lineup.

These include a mid-size family sedan and convertible (a Lybra successor most likely based on the Sebring), a new flagship luxury sedan (Thesis replacement that’s rumored to be based on the 300) and a large MPV (probably the Town and Country).

In 2011, Fiat will also gain a Chrysler Group-derived crossover model while the most important introduction for the brand will be the next-generation Panda that will be offered with the firm’s new twin-cylinder turbocharged engines.

Other than the new compact-sized Giulietta, Alfa Romeo’s plans include a model year update for the 159 sedan, the presentation of the more hardcore 8C Competizione GTA and a light facelift for the MiTo supermini.

As you can see, Marchionne’s plans for Alfa do not include the long awaited SUV / Crossover model nor a replacement for the 169. Apparently, the focus on the Lancia brand comes at the cost of Alfa’s future…

All in all, over the next two years, the Fiat Group is planning the launch of 17 new models and upgrades of 13 existing models.

2012 Hyundai Veloster: First Spy Shots of Hyundai’s CR-X-esque Small FWD Coupe

Zack — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 14:11:23 +0000

There are only two shots of the car, but from what we can tell, it appears that Hyundai Motor America’s CEO John Krafcik wasn’t exaggerating when he told Inside Line this past summer that the production model will look 70-80 per cent like the 2007 Veloster Concept.

The small front-wheel drive coupe, which has been described by Krafcik as a “4-passenger Honda CR-X”, is scheduled to go on sale at Hyundai’s dealerships alongside the larger and more expensive rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe before the end of 2011.

Krafcik has revealed that the production model, which may very well retain the Veloster nameplate, will be powered by a new 1.6-liter four cylinder engine with direct injection pushing out 140 hp. It is expected that the base model will return over 40 mpg US (5.8lt/100km or 48mpg UK).

There’s a strong possibility that Hyundai may also offer the Veloster with either a turbocharged variant of the 1.6L engine or the firm’s 2.0-liter GDI petrol that develops 198HP in the new Sonata. Europeans could also get a diesel version of the Veloster.
