Super Car Today: Renault Wind 2010

Renault will unveil the new wind Roadster at the Geneva Motor Show 2010th Not with the Wind concept car at the same point six years previously imported to be confused, this wind is a production car and was made possible by the hardware from the Twingo / Clio duo.

The French call it a “coupe-roadster”, enabled by its metal folding roof hardtop. But, in contrast to other candidate countries, the new Renault Wind 180deg in a simple roof loadbay flops – we are uploading the video to this story, allowing you the ease of use can be seen in action, go topless takes only 12 seconds of twisting manual locking the electric end of their work.

Renault Wind: a Tigra from France!

The wind is certainly quite diddy. Just 3830mm long, in fact, put it slap bang in the Mini convertible / Opel Tigra area. This is hardly a massive market in the United Kingdom, GM corporal punishment only 2900 Tigras each year.

The soft top is an elegant technical solution. At first glance, it looks like the system on the Ferrari 575 Superamerica, but closer inspection shows mechanism is the wind, to be wiser. When you open the boot with the roof down, depends on the aft deck with the roof stowed in tow. Nifty.

The wind is front-wheel drive with a choice of two engines and five-speed transmission:

• 1.2 Turbo
• 1.6 from the Clio Renaultsport

Why does the wind is a two-seater Renault

Despite these bases Twingo, the wind is a pure two-seater. That is enough space for 270 liters of luggage space can be, regardless of the position of the roof. Although we have not yet seen the wind interior, the dash has a unique layout, says Renault.

Expect UK sales of fixed June 2010, price to undercut the Peugeot 207 CC and his ilk from around £ 16,000.

Seat Ibiza ST estate 2010 First Look

This is SEAT new compact and Housing, the Ibiza ST. He will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, the sales start in the summer.
It’s all about the Space “- presumably the Seat Ibiza ST has a bigger boat?

Of course. The ST is 18cm longer than the normal Ibiza hatch, so there are 430 liters cargo volume, from 292 liters. It is not a game for the Clio Grand Tour (439), or seats in-house rival Skoda Fabia Combi (480), but folding the split rear seats do not free some additional space.

The ST is the third model in the Ibiza series – after the regular three-door hatch, SC – as the front end remains the same, but there is a higher roofline and a longer rear overhang. Under the hood there is a choice of six engines (three petrol and three diesel), two of which are new in Ibiza: a 1.2 TDI and 1.2 TSI.

Carlsson says it is developing its first own company and badged vehicles produced and it looks so pretty convincingly strong enough to justify the CL to this claim, we reckon.

Only 25 C25s are built, each of which drew from a Mercedes A-743bhp twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 powered. This year, the entire distribution of C25s is already sold out, according to the chief exec Mark Schuster.

Top whack is set at a somewhat theoretical 219mph. Good work they have fitted 405mm front discs and 380mm rotors race on the back.
Carlsson C25: the pitch

“There are more than enough super sports car in this world that can be safely driven on a racetrack,” said Schuster. “So we consciously wanted a car that can be made largely on the one hand, and for the daily ride into office on the other hand, can be used. Therefore, a Super GT, which can be between 0 and 100 km is accelerated / h in just 3.7 seconds and still offers a very pleasant ride. All security measures, such as pedestrian protection, crash performance, ESP, ABS, air bag systems are identical to large series with the latest editions of standards. ”

Dig deep: the C25 cost a staggering EUR 370.000 plus local taxes …

Car Review Today: Rolls Royce Ghost 2009

This is the new Rolls Royce’s Ghost 2009, a £ 192k British-built luxury sedan. Here you will find the majestic Rolls-Royce Phantom a bit gauche?

But the sense of a Rolls Royce Ghost 2009 is to make a statement.

We would have thought so, but some potential buyers all wanted the luxury of the phantom in a package that they can access a parking meter, without being able to attract unnecessary attention. The reticent presence, and £ 192,500 list price (£ 80k less than the phantom) indicates 80 percent of the Ghost buyers are new to the brand. And more than half of likely come from Bentley, would affect not something that Crewe love to hear.
Sun Rolls just like a piece of the wheelbase and the grille was smaller?

No, this is a completely new car. Well, everything is new, if you discount the BMW 7-Series, with the Ghost shares some mechanical components. The Phantom of the Opera, is built around an aluminum space frame, but the spirit of the chassis is a steel monocoque. Aluminum chassis are chunky affairs so stick with steel rolls to allow the mind with the interior does not lend well behind the phantom, while the space requirement is significantly lower. The 5399mm mind is 435mm shorter, 42mm narrower and 82mm shorter than a phantom with the standard wheelbase. Rolls Royce Ghost 2009.
