Lotus Eagle soon unveil

The photo above are recently spy shots of the upcoming Lotus Eagle – an Elise-based 2+2 sports car. Actually the production version will be unveiled in July at the London Motor Show, and sales will start toward the end of the year.

Essentially a stretched version of the highly successful roadster, the hard-top Eagle features room in the back for two small passengers and swaps the Elise’s four-cylinder engine for a Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6. Looking forward to the auto show..We will have more information then..

New Mercedes SLC preview photos

Mercedes’ upcoming new super car: Mercedes Gullwing was undergoing some handling test at Germany’s famous Nurburgring.

The SLC prototypes seems using Dodge Viper body panels, but rest assured that the similarities end there. The prototype uses a 106-inch long wheelbase, which happens to closely match the SLR’s wheelbase and in the process debunks any rumours about a smaller SLR based on the R230 SL-Class platform. The new Mercedes turning into a mid-engined car seems very distant now.

Weird car so far from the photo…

Rumor just started: Spyshots of mini SUVs

Rumor and Rumor…One day in a dream that Mini 4×4 will be a Clubman in high heels… Well u will get used to it. With four-wheel drive system in the shape of rear driveshafts and a rear diff. Sounds like watching Top gear.

Necessity: Sales of 4×4s are holding up well, despite the flak being heaped upon SUVs by political and climate change activists. Could it be that smaller off-roaders like the Fiat Panda 4×4 and Mini SUV could be coming of age, as buyers scramble for lower CO2 models with their go-anywhere image intact?

BMW will ensure reasonable stats by sticking to the Mini’s 1.6 engines, the diesel engine is expected to be the biggest hit in the four-wheel drive market; however, in the regular hatch it achieves carbon dioxide emissions of just 104g/km (Mini’s stop-start technology). That’s Toyota Prius-rivalling stuff, and the jacked-up Mini should be similar.

Aston Martin Rapide to feature a glass roof

Aston Martin’s latest four-door car has been spotted lapping the famous Nurburgring in Germany. As you can see in the photo below, and as the spy photographers noticed something different with this Rapide prototype : a glass roof. The transparent canopy extends from the windshields to the back hatch, which is certainly is impressive if you consider the length of this car’s wheelbase.

Well, it seems that Rapid is progressing very fast from a concept to production. This model might be the first all-new car to debut under the company’s new ownership.
