A notable addition is the all-new ZF Friedrichshafen supplied and developed 7-speed 7DT-75 PDK dual clutch transmission.

Currently, trim levels include the base model Panamera S, Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo. US models include an engine start/stop system, and the Turbo version uses active aerodynamics with a multi-stage, adjustable rear spoiler.

The company plans to build 20,000 Panamera per year across the whole product cycle. The fourth Porsche model series is being manufactured at the Leipzig plant in the so-called model mix, sharing a production line with the Cayenne SUV.

Music is something that we can’t do without while you driving. The travel with a car would be boring if there’s no music. I have some good news for you, Ford will offer a new HD Radio receiver dubbed the crystal-clear radio sound with iTunes tagging capability and the receiver could be factory installed in select models. The users could tag their favorite songs on the display and could later download them once they purchase it through the iTunes store. A maximum of 100 songs can be stored on the SYNC which also allows you to dock your iPod and iPhone to directly download the songs. Ford is keen on offering a wide variety factory-installed customer-focused technology to the customers and the HD radio receiver with iTunes tagging capability is a pleasant addition.

Are you ever see the small car? Check this one car, this is the smallest car in the world.

The Veyron features an 8.0 litre W16 engine — 16 cylinders in two banks of eight cylinders, or the equivalent of two narrow-angle V8 engines mated in a “W” configuration. Each cylinder has four valves for a total of 64, but the narrow staggered 8 configuration allows two overhead camshafts to drive two banks of cylinders so only four camshafts are needed. The engine is fed by four turbochargers and displaces 7,993 cubic centimetres (487.8 cu in), with a square 86 mm by 86 mm (3.4 in × 3.4 in) bore and stroke. Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

The transmission is a dual-clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox computer-controlled automatic with seven gear ratios, with magnesium paddles behind the steering wheel and a shift time of less than 150 milliseconds. This is designed and manufactured by Ricardo of England (and not Borg-Warner who designed the six-speed DSG used in the mainstream marques of the Volkswagen Group). The Veyron can be driven in either semi-automatic or fully automatic mode. A replacement transmission for the Veyron costs just over $120,000. It also features full-time permanent four-wheel drive, using the Haldex Traction system. It uses special Michelin PAX run-flat tyres, designed specifically for the Veyron to accommodate its top speed, which reportedly cost $25,000 US per set.[7] The tires can only be removed from the rims in France, a service which reportedly costs $70,000. Kerb weight is 2,034.8 kilograms (4,486 lb).[7] This gives the car a power to weight ratio, according to Volkswagen Group’s 736 kilowatts (1,001 PS; 987 bhp) figures, of 446.3 bhp per ton.

The Rossion Q1 is based on M400. Q1 made in order to make a video in Italy and announce the European distribution. The Q1 is have V6 engine and it can run to 60mph in 3.1 seconds. The Rossion Q1 has six-speed manual gearbox while the Q1 also uses a Quaife limited-slip rear differential.

This supercar come from Turkey. This car developed by Dr. Ekber Onuk who inspired to honor his son Onuk Sazan. This car have five speed manual gearbox, it will helps the prototype reach a top speed of 300km/h. Only five street legal models will be built in every year and the production ready model may come with a Nissan 3.5-liter V6 VQ34DE turbocharged engine that produces 485hp at 588Nm of torque.

China’s rapid economic growth made domestic car manufacturers and the European cheerful smile. One of the premium automobile manufacturers enjoyed growth is an Audi.

As a result, producers based in Ingolstadt, Germany, stated that their sales performance in China during September as the “September Ceria”. Because in that month, they created a new record for sales in the State Audi major Wall.

Explained, during September, Audi had to send 15,000 more vehicles to customers who have ordered it. Compared to previous months, Audi sales increase enjoyed by up to 37 percent. Thus also, the total sales of cars bearing the four rings, an Olympic-like logo for 9 months in 2009 reached 108,859 units.

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announced today, will display three concept cars and F1 TF109 race car in the Tokyo Motor Show which will open the third week of this month.

This year, Toyota is showing the theme “Harmonious Drive – A New Tomorrow for People and the Planet”. This theme is expressed Toyota’s commitment to make the car as a means of personal transportation, but still in harmony with the life of society banyak.Tiga concept car that will be exhibited are:

FT-86 (First appearance)
FT-86 ( “86″ called “hachi roku”, meaning in the Indonesian language, yes … the eight-six) is ultra-compact cars are easily controlled by the driver. Another feature of this car, light bodinya flat posture.

With such a posture, allow FT “eight six” speed up with such control racing car.

These cars use a 2.0-liter boxer engine (the result of cooperation with Subaru). Another interesting feature is the body wanrna “flash red” or bright red with blue shadow. Modern interior despite expressing minimal.

Plug-In Prius Hybrid
This Prius Plug-In Hybrid first publicly exhibited in Japan. Actually, this car is also exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show which just ended a week ago.

According to Toyota, the Prius is the first to use lithium-ion battery. The car is based on generation Prius-3. Can be filled from outside the electric power vehicles, such as an electric socket at home.

The car can run with or without battery teruisi. By using electric energy more efficiency, the Prius is better than the gasoline-electric hybrid conventional.

Toyota target Bakr consumption of this car 55 km / liter or more. While carbon dioxide emissions of just 42 g / km or even lower. When the electric car could be used to travel 20 km or more, with a fully charged battery.

At the beginning of May we told you about sales predictions made by the NICE Car Company. At the very bottom of the press release that accompanied that post there was mention made of a new car unveiling that would happen at the annual SMMT test day, which is a day of new-car driving for journalists held at the Millbrook proving grounds. Well, that day has come and gone and while the Internets seem uncharacteristically devoid of information about the various goings on, we do have some information about the car in question.

The Super Light Electric Sport Car is a concept vehicle that embodies much of the technology that NICE believes will help propel electric-powered cars to the forefront. Its steering and braking are electrically controlled instead of mechanically and it’s all designed around a carbon fiber cell. We’re not sure if NICE thinks scissor doors are the key to the future but this car has them and with the roof panels also lifting out of the way along with the doors, ingress and egress (getting in and out) should be quite easy.

According to Channel 4, the project was conducted in a partnership with Cranfield University’s power and drive systems group. NICE co-founder, Evert Geurtsen, said of the vehicle, “This is not a production car, but it does show what is possible when design starts from the principle of electric-drive upwards. When integrated with advanced, lightweight materials, the benefits of this approach become very clear.” Although the public hasn’t yet had access to the vehicle, all that will change when it hits the floor of the British International Motor Show in late July along with several other new models being added to the NICE lineup.
