A new Audi Quattro concept may be is brewing and see the light at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. Addition of a new aesthetic could replace a V8 engine.

The upcoming Frankfurt Motor possibly witness the presentation of a new Audi Quattro concept. Although, logically, there is no official confirmation that this will be the case, our colleagues in the specialized web Autoblog.nl have ventured to advance this course.

Audi Quattro Concept

The Audi quattro concept was presented at the Paris Salon of 2010 and surprised everyone with a sharp and aggressive design based on the chassis of the RS5. Equipped the five-cylinder engine 2.5 TFSI with 408 hp. Of course, as its name suggests, all-wheel drive 'quattro' is responsible for transmitting the great potential to asphalt.

Now the option is speculated that the new Audi Quattro concept replace the engine 2.5 TFSI by a block of 4.0 liter V8 with 650 hp, which supposedly would borrow the Audi RS6 and Audi S8, but with important news that try to optimize consumption and efficiency, since it is possible to introduce the technology 'cilinder on demand' which disconnects the half cylinders in low load phases of the engine.

Peugeot 308 - Buy or Wait?

The suspensions remain too dry in town

The new Peugeot 308 against the current!

Starting again from scratch, Peugeot 308 promises a future very different from its predecessor. Does this mean that we must absolutely wait instead of acquiring the current model? Not so sure.

The suspensions remain too dry in town.

With its top-flight performance, the current 308 does not seem to be in the twilight of his career. Despite some firmness at low speed, it still offers one of the best compromise between comfort and market behavior. Volkswagen Golf 7 can take seed, despite its Car of the Year ... Remarkably quiet, smooth and associated with a Stop & Start with starter-alternator also swift and discreet, diesel engines are also among the highlights of the compact Sochaux. Luckily, they will place themselves among the few points in common with the next generation. As for prices, they are more attractive than ever, limit requires: you will leave your dealer with 12% discount without forcing, and can even reach 37% in some agents.

No reason to wait for the next generation 308, scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show in the fall? We will not go that far, as the significant changes ahead. This second version in effect based on the new platform EMP2, released by the future Citroën C4 Picasso. A basic promises including weight gain approaching one hundred pounds, for the benefit of sobriety. The reduced height should also encourage consumption, as the adoption of electric power steering. But further progress will also be noted, as a position of lower conduit or extensive choice of equipment (active cruise control, touchscreen GPS, speakerphone key, blind spot monitoring ...). Peugeot promises the same comfort and further refined behavior, while continuing to provide an expensive multi-link rear suspension.

However, if only the convertible interests you, you may become disillusioned: the next 308 will provide this body, now reserved for a higher-end model. Aborted on the current model, the three-door version will not. As for the break SW, it will cease to compete with the 5008 MPV, abandoning its individual seats in the second row and two extra seats optional. Mechanical, they, marked a turning point, especially since it is in essence it will look new. Atmospheric four-cylinder developed with BMW will indeed be replaced by a unique three-cylinder 1.2 turbo with Stop & Start, both richer in low-end torque and less greedy. As for the diesel blocks, they will mostly renewed, with power ranging from 95 hp to the 1.6 input range HDi 150 hp and the 2.0 has a unique filter NOx.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe Faithful to the Concept

Jaguar F-Type Coupe

Presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011, the Jaguar C-X16 study foreshadows the next sport entry level brand.

Before turning roadster, the F-Type was first revealed as a cut through the C-X16 concept. A body which is about to experience the joys of mass production, as confirmed exclusive images.

By its name as its architecture and some details of style, the new F-Type evokes much the legendary E-Type However, to fully walk in the footsteps of its predecessor, it still has to be broken down into cut. Do not panic, this is expected. The arrival of a hard top should occur as soon as next spring, a year after the launch of the roadster. The lines of this body are revealed even today, thanks to an early patent filing. Just enough to confirm that the production model will be an almost exact copy of the C-X16 concept, unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011.

The Jaguar E-Type Coupe is almost an exact copy of the study C-X16, made ​​in 2011 already. Check the Photos:

If you are a specialist in game seven errors, you probably noticed the change mirrors, more imposing than the study of style to meet the regulations. The rims are a tad different, despite drawing close altogether. In short, cut Jaguar is far from being turned into a truck. It retains its handles flush doors, its suggestive facies and stocky posture. In the V8 S version shown here, even the four tailpipes and extractor meet always present. But a variant F-Type R even more radical should also land, with a power range from 495 hp to 550 hp.





The Jaguar C-X16 Concept is a bold statement of Jaguar's future design and technological intent. The C-X16 takes the traditional front-engined, rear-wheel drive formula that Jaguar defined over the decades and reinvents it for the 21st century in a performance-oriented hybrid drivetrain with 50:50 weight distribution.

The latest iteration of Jaguar's 'Redefining Performance' ethos, the system is based around a prototype supercharged all-alloy V6 engine which produces 380 PS (280 kW) and 332 lb ft (450 Nm) of torque from 3.0-litres thanks to its innovative design. Supplementing this is an electric motor producing 70 kW and 235 Nm (equivalent to 95 PS and 173 lb ft), available to the driver at the push of a steering-wheel boost button.

Allied to an eight-speed gearbox and mounted in a lightweight aluminium chassis this allows the Jaguar C-X16 Concept to sprint to 62mph in 4.4 seconds and reach 186mph while returning 41mpg (UK gallon) and emitting 165g/km of CO2.

The aluminium bodywork is wrapped as closely to these mechanicals as possible to distil the essence of Jaguar sports cars into the next evolution of an already award-winning design language. By stretching the main feature lines back from the focal point formed by the grille and pushing the wheels as far into the corners as possible, the car has a taut, poised-for-action stance that is unmistakeably Jaguar.

The interior showcases important future technologies such as multimodal rotary controls. These incorporate miniature OLED screens, which reconfigure to reflect the different functions that can be performed via the controls, all of which are designed for maximum compatibility between sports car needs and everyday usability.
