A one half hour ago I'd read press-release about new "Laguna-Coupe". It seems, that it tries to hide information about what Renault motors have created this concept for, and what is interesting in it.

Here are some quotes:

Workers in a couple of sequental 6-step automatic gearbox and managed petrol engine provides very combining comfort driving ...

... blend with the architecture of the platform, and slightly profitable, they ideally like glove, oblegayut body off.

Volvo's giving us a little treat in releasing these pictures of the XC60 concept SUV, which they'll be showing in a few weeks at the Detroit show. While strictly dubbed a concept show car, the kid brother to the XC90 is expected to go into production in 2009. How closely it mirrors this shapely showcar is the question. (More)

With obvious intentions of dominating the luxury sedan market, Lexus has infused its updated LS four-door with something that no competitor can provide - a V8 full hybrid drivetrain.

Based on a five-liter direct injection V8 engine, the Lexus Hybrid Drive adds a pair of high-power electric motors and a two-stage "electronic continuously variable transmission" to produce up to 430 HP - said to be equivalent to that of a six-liter V12 (hence the model nomenclature). To make sure that power makes it to the pavement, a standard full-time AWD system routes the power to all four wheels. Fuel economy has not yet been disclosed but is said to be similar to that of mid-sized V6 AWD sedans. The LS 600h L will be certified as a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV), giving it emissions levels approximately 70% lower than that of the competition.

Lexus forges into exotic sports car territory with the LF-A concept vehicle. Integrating the simple elegance of the new Lexus design initiative with racing-inspired style, sculpted curves and fluid lines make a dynamic statement. The clean lines of the two-seat cockpit are minimalist and futuristic, so there's no distraction from the impressive ride.

Ferrari stormed to a dominant 1-2 victory at the Turkish Grand Prix today. Felipe Massa lead from pole to take his third victory of the season and Kimi Raikkonen finished a strong second to ensure the team's second 1-2 finish of the season. This race result was a strong comeback for Ferrari after disappointment at the previous Hungarian Grand Prix.

At the last Frankfurt Motorshow in September 1999, BMW introduced the Z9 gran turismo concept car. This dramatically styled sports coup? has been designed to showcase BMW's cutting edge technology and design, featuring gullwing doors, carbon fibre bodywork and the world's first V8 diesel engine. title.

The lines of the Z9's exterior design are clean, simple, yet dramatic, with a long, sleek bonnet and short, muscular tail. At the front is the unmistakable BMW kidney grille and from the side, the huge wheels - 20 inch at the front and 21 at the rear - and high waist give the car real presence. (More)

Now that the 2007 BMW X5 has made its debut, BMW is working on its next sport activity vehicle (SAV). Expected to debut sometime next year, the 2009 BMW X6 uses the same basic hardware as the X5 but adds a sleeker profile and subtracts some utility for the sake of styling and improved handling. Our latest spy video shows an early X6 prototype undergoing development tests on the streets of Munich.

Expected to come off BMW's Spartanburg assembly line, the X6 will ride on the same platform as its more family-oriented sibling. Its wheelbase isn't expected to change much, although it may add an inch or two in length to make the proportions look right. Judging by the prototype in our latest video and photos, the X6 will look similar to the X5 from the B-pillar forward. A deeper front spoiler and some extended side skirting may be used, but in a rearview mirror it would be hard to distinguish an X6 from an X5. (More)
