Here is our list of hottest road, race and rally cars from the NEC event. Let us know if you had your own favorites in the comments below.

1. Audi Quattro sport
It might have for a short time existed and were banned for 20 years, but rally Group’s unforgettable B and continue to amaze and scare equally. These Audi Sport Quattro, heard a ‘ motorsport news’ display, body boasted 300bhp, yet the bulging, winged carbon Kevlar weighed only 1, 200kgs. his performance was so legendary. Unfortunately the speed, the Group B rally was killed, but this display gives an idea of what this rally Monster were.

2. Caterham – Lola SP/300.Rs
At the fair, the first new car from Caterham was over 15 years, the SP/300.RS. Created in partnership with the legendary Lola engineering brand, it is only a track car at the moment. But not the British sports car manufacturer has excluded a street version in future. Yours for ? 60,000, only 25 of 300bhp cars a year are made and everything will be for a one-make Championship, sitting above the Caterham seven Academy into account.

NAIASDetroit2011_audi_a6_carzpageA7 essentially a fastback in their work clothes is easier, the new Audi A6 sedan, green, and tech-heavy than ever before. The mini-A8 styling is more evolutionary than revolutionary, but under the skin are some of the key changes, including the addition of a hybrid drive.
Audi A6: Engines decisions

Initially, the A6 comes with a choice of five engines: a pair of petrol and three TDI units. And since all the new A6 engines, more efficient systems such as start / stop and energy recovery are related to the average consumption across the entire range of products has fallen by 19% is. It is important to the A6 has lost weight by adopting a composite steel-aluminum construction.

The oil combustion consists of the entry-level 174bhp 2.0-liter diesel and a pair of 3.0 TDI with a choice of either 201bhp or 241bhp. According to Audi, the latter delivers 0-62mph in 6.1secs, while still managing to return 47.1mpg on the combined cycle and emit just 158g/km of CO2. The two engines are a 201bhp petrol 2.8 and the familiar supercharged 3.0-liter, which delivers 296bhp.
You mentioned that there is a new Audi A6 hybrid on the way?

001audia6Yes, but it will not meet until 2012. If it is to get here, Audi’s 2.0 TFSI petrol engine with an electric motor link for a total system output 241bhp. Audi claims that it is hit 62mph in 7.3 seconds and have an average fuel consumption of 45.6mpg.
What features on the A6? Detroit auto show 2011: New Audi A6 Plus Hybrid.

There are a huge range of technologies available, including a head-up display and touch-MMI operating system that combines Google Earth and integrated with the navigation route. As the A7 to A6 is also slow to draw, and parking for you, you should also.
When can I buy the new A6, and how much will it cost? Deliveries begin early 2011, and while prices in the United Kingdom or TBC, the German Prix of Germany is € 38,500 (£ 32,170), making it a massive £ 10,000 cheaper than the A7.

001fordfocus_2011_carzpageThe Ford Focus redefined that hatch family when it appeared in 1998. Now there is a new, the first significant change of the model in seven years.

Can the new 2011 Ford Focus Mk3 move the goal posts again? Read online car first drive review here – and be sure to read the new issue of CAR Magazine February 2011, 19 January, to our sister city with class benchmark test of the VW Golf. The new 2011 Ford Focus: the headlines please. Okay, how about a new platform, class-leading safety kit including Honda-style self-steering response, green tech, such as stop-start and active mesh formwork, a massive leap in design of dual-clutch gearbox transmission, five doors as standard and a new range of Ecoboost engines?

Ecoboost? Is this a kind of economic model?

No, you’re thinking of stingy Econetic Ford models. Ecoboost refers to Ford’s new super-economical 1.6 petrol engine turbocharged engines, the soil, which would naturally 2.0 lawn a few years back cover aspirated. There are two versions, both Fielding 177 pounds ft of torque (up to 199 pounds ft on an over-boost function for quick passing maneuvers). Both again an almost diesel-like 47mpg on the combined cycle and emit just 139g/km. But while it has 148bhp and takes 8.6sec to reach 62mph, the other with 180bhp and seven tenths takes less.

To start, the only available version on the media to try was the higher-powered car, a shame as it has not chosen a model Ford sold in the United Kingdom’s. It is not particularly charismatic engine, but, as Alfa Multiair 1750, it is useful and powerful in the middle of the Ecoboost definitely has the edge at the upper end where it gets a second wind. Read the new February issue of Automobile magazine for our key test of the new Focus diesel and see how it compares with the VW Golf.

002fordfocus_2011The focus of the manual transmission is positive and the six gears provide a decent spread of relationships with top offer quiet cruising and help net so impressive mpg figure. But if you thought this is a kind of ST replacement is not. It is a good performance, but it is not quite hot hatch. It’s almost hot hatch but money – because the Ecoboost comes only in noble Tinamium or Titanium X cut, ie a starting price of £ 19,745 (£ 20,845) if you go for the estate. Phew.
What does it have with the other engines and the dual-clutch gearbox you mentioned? CarzPage Review: Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost 2011.
