2015 Subaru WRX

Article file under http://www.caranddriver.com/photo-gallery/2015-subaru-wrx-sti-first-drive-review

Prior to the drive preview of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI in Carmel, California, the car debuted at this year’s Detroit auto show. At that point, everyone had discovered that the STI’s 2.5-liter engine would produce 305 hp at 6000 rpm—the same as the outgoing model. Armed with primarily this fact, they went on the type of warpath usually reserved for the likes of Silvio Berlusconi under cross-examination from Charlie Sheen. Typical of the frothy fury was Stevessvt’s comment in theBackfires thread for the debut story: “305 hp? What an absolute fail.”

And so, upon alighting in Eastwood Central, we cornered Masuo Takatsu, the program manager for both the WRX and STI. Said he: “I felt the STI’s weaker area was the handling side. If we didn’t have the chassis, why add more power to overwhelm it? Also, this EJ engine has proved itself in competition.

 It’s an engine we confidently bring to the track, [whereas] the new FA-series in the WRX has not been proven in motorsports. Plus, we knew the aftermarket could supply more power to those STI owners who demanded it.”

2015 Maserati GranTurismo MC Centennial Edition Coupe And Convertible

Article file under http://www.topspeed.com/cars/maserati/2015-maserati-granturismo-mc-centennial-edition-coupe-and-convertible-ar163191.html

Maserati is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and just like pretty much every car brand that celebrates anniversaries these days, the Italian automaker is set to introduce a special-edition GranTurismo MC to commemorate the occasion. The car is called the GranTurismo MC Centennial Edition and as expected, it comes with a bevy of exterior and interior upgrades befitting a model that’s been designated with the important "anniversary model" label.

Give how incredibly sexy the GranTurismo MC already is in its standard guise, it seems like Maserati just found the perfect opportunity to create a limited run of GranTurismo MC models that makes it even more attractive. The GranTurismo MC Centennial Edition is set to become available in the next few months as either a coupe 

or a convertible model.

If deciding on getting one isn’t hard enough already, you now have to choose between getting a coupe or a drop-top. Then again, there are worse problems to have these days, and being in that situation should be considered a blessing.

Fifth And Final Pagani Zonda Revolucion: 2014 Geneva Motor Show Live Photos

Article file under http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1084545_fifth-and-final-pagani-zonda-revolucion-bows-in-geneva

At this week’s 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Pagani is showing off its fifth and final Zonda Revolucion, which means production of the Zonda line of supercars has reached an end. Sadly, all five Zonda Revolucions built have been sold, with this particular example, which wears blue carbon panels, destined for a customer in Japan.

The Zonda Revolucion is strictly a track toy, as it can’t be registered for road use and doesn’t adhere to any particular motorsport regulations. But it’s possibly one of the fastest track toys money can could buy as it’s capable of setting some incredible track times.

Pagani hasn’t provided any performance figures just yet, but the company says the Zonda Revolucion is more extreme than the previous Zonda R, which set a 6:47 Nürburgring lap time back in 2010, so expect even better numbers.

The car packs Pagani’s latest technology, including a 6.0-liter AMG V-12 with 800 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. That power doesn't have much vehicle to push because the Revolucion weighs in at just 2,360 pounds.

New 2015 Jaguar XE revealed: technology, specs, price and full details

Article file under http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/xe/85784/new-2015-jaguar-xe-revealed-technology-specs-price-and-full-details

The Jaguar XE, a new compact executive car from the British brand, has been revealed. The car's release date will be after its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, with the first deliveries in May 2015. The new Jaguar XE price range starts at about £27,000 for the entry-level model.

Some of the most important cars for the premium manufacturers compete in this class, with the mighty BMW 3 Series, the impressive Mercedes C-Class and soon-to-be-replaced Audi A4 already battling it out. 

Jaguar has challenged itself in entering this crucial  sector in 2015. The car is a result of around £2bn worth of investment in a new factory on Land Rover’s home turf in Solihull, W Mids. The car's bodyshell is mostly aluminium and is constructed here, and the plant will also assemble the XE. A new engine plant in Wolverhampton is also set to produce the car's efficient new Ingenium engines. 

The XE has created more than 3,000 new jobs in the UK and will significantly boost Jaguar sales, which in this country at least lag behind Land Rover three to one. So is the new car up to it?

 The Venom GT managed to reach 265.7 mph (427.6 km/h) before running out of room on the 2.9 mile

long runway at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California back on February 9th, 2013.

2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4

Article file under http://www.topspeed.com/cars/lamborghini/2015-lamborghini-hurac-n-lp-610-4-ar112934.html

All good things must come to an end, so the Gallardo 

is packing things up and moving out of Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar spot to make room for a brand new baby. Rumors swirled about the name of this new supercar, and the final decision was Huracán LP 610-4 and not "Cabrera," as we initially thought.

The Huracán LP 610-4’s name is derived from a fighting bull from 1879. This Spanish Conte de la Patilla breed of bull was unrelenting and thrust himself into bull-fighting stardom courage and strong sense of attack.

This new new Lamborghini 

will make its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2014, but it will also have more than 130 private showings that start in January. We expect to see it in dealers starting in mid- to late-2014.

Honda To Debut New VTEC Turbo Engine In Next-Gen StepWgn

Article file under http://www.livelifedrive.com/malaysia/news/view/197184/honda-to-debut-new-vtec-turbo-engine-in-next-gen-stepwgn

Last year, Honda announced that it has developed a new series of turbocharged direct injection petrol engines for small- and medium-sized vehicles. Dubbed VTEC Turbo, Honda's latest engine series will come in three sizes - 2-litre four cylinder, 1.5-litre four cylinder and 1.0-litre three cylinder.

The 2-litre VTEC Turbo is expected to make its global debut in the European market Civic Type-R in 2015, but there is no official announcement yet for the smaller displacement VTEC Turbo engines.

However a report by Japan's Nikkei says the 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo will make its debut in the Japanese market StepWgn.

No further details were mentioned, but considering that the current generation StepWgn (below) was launched in Japan in 2009, and the fact that previous generation StepWgn models have model life of around five years, the next generation model may arrive in late 2014 or early 2015.

The current generation StepWgn is powered by a 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine that produces 150 PS of power at 6,200 rpm and 193 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.

While Honda has revealed that the 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine will produce more than 280 hp (and still meets Euro 6 emission regulations), no power output figures are available for the smaller displacement VTEC Turbo engines. However it is safe to say that the succeeding 1.5-litre VTEC Turbo will have to match or exceed the current 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine's output.

2015 Subaru Impreza Gets Revised Styling, More Tech

Article file under http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1055018_2015-subaru-impreza-gets-revised-styling-more-tech

The latest Subaru Impreza range was all-new for 2012, so for the 2015 model year the all-wheel-drive compact has been given a mid-cycle update. Only the Subaru die-hards are likely to recognize the changes made to the exterior of the vehicles. They consist of revisions made to the headlights, grille and front bumper, as well as new side mirror caps. Unfortunately, they don’t do much to improve the look of the rather mundane sedan and hatch, especially when lined up against the latest Ford Focus, Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Golf.

 The story gets worse if you're looking for driver excitement. The sole engine for the entire range continues to be a 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer, rated at just 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a five-speed manual as standard with the more upmarket Premium and Limited trims getting a CVT as standard. As is the case with all Subarus except the BRZ, all-wheel drive is standard across the range. If you have your heart set on the Impreza's shape, we strongly suggest going straight for the WRX or WRX STI models.

Article file under http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2768199/Is-world-s-expensive-car-4-million-gold-Lamborghini-pictured-Paris.html
By Annabel Grossman for MailOnline

As far as supercars go this might be the one to beat.

Labelled as quite possibly the most expensive car in the world, the gold Lamborghini Aventador has been spotted cruising the streets of Paris.

As fashion week starts today, the car - which is valued at around £4 million and appears to be from Saudi Arabia - was parked outside the Plaza Athenee palace hotel on the luxury Avenue Montaigne.

Sporting a distinctive 666 number plate, the gold-plated supercar appears to be the same one which has been turning heads in the French capital over the past few days.

Car enthusiasts have filmed the gold plated vehicle, which features a 6.5-litre V12 engine delivering 692 hp, driving through some of Paris's most exclusive streets.

2015 Vencer Sarthe production version goes official with 622 HP

Article file under http://www.worldcarfans.com/114091981454/2015-vencer-sarthe-production-version-goes-official-with

Dutch automaker Vencer has revealed the 2015 Sarthe production version which starts at €270,882 (without VAT).

It was 2012 when Vencer released images and preliminary details of the Sarthe and a year later they showed a pre-production version at Top Marques Monaco. Now, the virtually unknown Dutch specialty marque founded in 2010 says the car is finally ready to enter production phase as a 2015 model year with more than 100 changes compared to the previous version.

Sourcing its name from "Circuit de la Sarthe", the 2015 Vencer Sarthe comes with an updated exterior design featuring a redesigned quarter glass, new engine cover, restyled C-pillars with an "open air-flow" design along with an automatic rear spoiler and aerodynamic front splitters. Step inside the minimalist cabin where there are wide door sills, carbon fiber panels, a combination of leather and Alcantara as well as a multi-tasking digital display providing all relevant info.

At its heart is an eight-cylinder 6.3-liter supercharged engine developing 622 HP (457 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 838 Nm (618 lb-ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm. For comparison purposes, we remind you the pre-production version which lacked the supercharger offered 510 HP (375 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft).

2015 Audi TT 2.0 TDI Ultra

Article file under http://www.topspeed.com/

What happens when you combine rally heritage, diesel racing technology and a small sports car ? If you ask Audi, it will tell you that sounds the perfect recipe for the new 2015 Audi TT 2.0 TDI Ultra.

Yes, I know it’s an obnoxiously long name, but there is a lot of important information in there. First off, the 2015 Audi TT portion lets us know that this is based on the latest and greatest version of Audi’s venerable coupe , the TT. The 2.0 TDI tells us it uses the latestVolkswagen family, common-rail, turbo-diesel engine.

The Ultra is the most important part though. Audi has reserved that term for new versions of its cars that are ultra-efficient while still retaining the fun and excitement that the brand is known for.
