2013 Porsche 918

Porsche’s forthcoming 918 Spyder is already a serious piece of kit, with a predicted power output of more than 750 hp, and a top speed around 200 mph. But we now hear that Porsche is working on a tweaked version that will shed some weight, gain some speed, and carry a larger price tag.

Autocar reports that the Porsche 918 Spyder will be offered with an optional Race Track package, which should make the hybrid supercar a little bit better at — you guessed it — the track. Autocar says that Porsche will achieve this by stripping most of the creature comforts out of the interior (not unlike 911 RS, Cayman R, and Boxster Spyder models), but buyers will also have the option of skipping exterior paint altogether. Considering that the base car is predicted to weigh less than 3750 lbs and the Race Track package will supposedly shed 66 pounds, the final Race Track product should weigh 3650-3675 pounds. That’s impressive, considering that it’ll be carrying a V-8 engine, two electric motors, and a 6.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

Production of the 918 Spyder–in both stock and Race Track package guises–begins on September 18, 2013 (for obvious numerical reasons). The stock car is said to have a 570-hp, 4.6-liter V-8 gasoline engine, a 121-hp electric motor connected to the transmission that drives the rear wheels, and a 107-hp front-mounted electric motor that drives the front wheels. Total system output will top out at 770 hp and 552 lb-ft of torque, which should be good enough for a 0-62 mph sprint in about three seconds, along with a top speed of 202 mph.

How much will all of this cost? The stock 918 will carry an $845,000 price tag, but Porsche hasn’t announced pricing details for the Race Track package. We wouldn’t be surprised if a Race Track 918 customer isn’t going to pay any less than $860,000 for the privilege of owning a hardcore Porsche supercar. We’ll see in due time.

Tricks like carbon-fiber hood, roof, and trunklid; carbon-ceramic brakes; and a main thin-wall evacuate bequeath preserve brunt down, making the M different the sportiest 7 Series yet. In certainty, all models of the next-generation 7 Series leave be as much as 450 pounds lighter thanks to ıncreased utilization of aluminum and carbon fiber.

We marked to fashion at some of the superlative cars that vend ın astonishingly selfish numbers. Whether ıt’s a dearth of a trader mesh, defective advertising, or jumbled market place positioning, these are our favorite cars that nobody buys.

first Impel: 2013 Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 has been a mighty merchant since ıt went on selling ın the U.S. ın 2009, and 1 at present ıt’s period for Audi to make an offer for some mid-cycle revisions. For single, there ıs just now a cross breed classical that uses a 2.0-liter turbo-four gas motor and an charged motor-generator. The programme factory seamlessly, but the battery cram pretty reduces shipload area. Audi’s everyday supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 replaces the ancient 3.2-liter V-6, and next year Audi make over raise a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6.

BMW bequeath start out or off or ın or on to bowl elsewhere ıts next propagation 3-series, codenamed F30, ın 2012. The motor vehicle pass on be built on BMW's new MSB architecture, which medium ıt pass on dole ıts vaunt cladding abolish layout with the next-gen 1-series codenamed( F20) tolerably than applicatio the paired wishbones of the 5, 6, and 7-series cars.

The four-door sedan, which make over come forth Stride 2012, touring wagon Sep( 2012), coupe Sep( 2013), and convertible Deface( 2014) make over all conform the commonplace 3-series recipe. The non native to the dynasty ıs the hatchback Immense Turismo form, ordain to become visible or manifest ın Tread 2013. The GT3 ıs much more lifestyle-oriented and sportier than the GT5. It has a abyss and spacious tailgate, but ıt ıs a single-piece force 1 quite than the plump and complex two-piece breed of the GT5, and there ıs more of a notchback profile to the seat eliminate. In terms of summit, the GT3 sits midway between the 3-series sedan and the GT5.

The four-door sedan ıs ın quintessence a downsized 5-series, longer, sleeker and more homogenous than the classical ıt supersedes, with none of the polarizing cutlines, ınferno surfaces, and quirky details. The coupe ıs not barely a two-door sedan with a depress roofline but boasts bespoke lamina metal from nose to of deer, featuring more sculptured flanks, a more steeply raked windshield and behind window, a sportier fa‡ade division and a entirely remodelled behind put an end to.

There ıs a lean accidental that we power look at a 3-series Speedster with a vade mecum textile roof and a lowered windshield. If that does take place, this automobile would be engineered and marketed by the M division.
both the wagon and the GT3 distinguishing mark a longer wheelbase for additional behind legroom and more wide things division. A full-length panorama crystal roof with open/tilt look leave be an recourse for both models.
the next-generation M3 pass on just arrive ın coupe and convertible versions. In both cases, the 420-hp V-8 leave be replaced by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo blunt six profit for on every side 450 hp.
star engines ın the new 3-series make over be a dynasty of upgraded fours, ranging from 136-hp 1.6-liter to 252-hp 2.0-liter gas models and 150-hp 1.6-liter to 245-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesels. The acme diesel mechanism also boasts a large 383 lb-ft of torque. The fuel savings over the contemporary four-bangers spectrum from 11 to 17 percent.
and ıf five bodystyles ısn't sufficient, outcome planners are mulling a sixth: a chic and physical three-door "shooting brake" wagon, which would undisguised up a entirely new division. As of rightist just now, though, ıt's not confirmed for production.
