From the design point of view this concept dares to be very different from the model we know and love and maybe that’s a good thind.Why?you might ask?Because this segment has been „renewed” with some interesting models: Ford Fiesta, Fiat Grande Punto, Opel Corsa, Mazda2 and it would be ashame for Seat to drop behind.seat bocanegra concept

We know that the production model won’t look as well asthe concept but some good changes have been made and we think that the market will appreciate them.The engines will resemble the ones under the hood of the current generation and the base model will have a 1,2 litre petrol engine that will develop around 70 HP.

VW Scirocco is finally here!-Geneva preview

The guys over at VW haven’t yet unveiled the new model as they await the Geneva Auto Show to do that but a few pics have „leaked” on the Internet.

Resembling the Iroc concept,the new Scirocco won’t disappoint the fans that still dream of the first and second generations from the ‘70 and ‘80.
We’ll probably see a slightly modified Golf platform but the car is for the racing enthusiasts even though the Scirocco is a volume car with base engines with just over 100 HP.But those that want more power can choose the 200 HP 2 litre turbo engine and VW will most likely throw in some TDIs(105 HP, 140 HP and 170 HP).

The DSG transmission is also expected as optional and the interior which won’t be so different from the Golf will have sport seats.

All we have to find out is the price and if the tuning market will appreciate the new car.

Another beast for Geneva:the TechArt 911 Cabrio

     For the Geneva Auto Show the German tunner TechArt prepared a very special 911 Cabrio.This highly modiffied ride might catch your eyes with its spoilers,side skirts and sport aileron but the beast under the hood is the real gem.As you all know the boxer engine USED to deliver a very respectable 480 HP but the guys over at TechArt thaought that it wasn’t enough so they found a more suiting figure:no less than 630HP.Even though there are no official information,we believe that small changes have been made to the overall dymanic of the car.techart 911

TechArt hasn’t yet made public the „numbers” for this car but the top speed is estimated around 340 km/h.techart 911
