Video: Citroen C3 Bip Bip Ad

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 06:30 AM PDT

Video: Citroen C3 Bip Bip Ad This new Citroen C3 ad is a combination of cleaver and funny and it reminds consumers that apart from performance and design, the standard equipment list is also something that requires attention, because when some of the 'essential' features are missing, the owner's life will definitely become harder. In other words, or should we say sounds, and you'll understand what we meant after hitting play, this ad highlights the fact that the new Citroen C3 is 'loaded with specs' among which customers will find remote entry, electric windows and mirrors, parking sensors and more.

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 10:21 AM PDT

2011 Lexus LX 570 JTGrey Racing Toyota has recently published a single photo with the 2011 Lexus LX 570 JTGrey Racing truck in which Jeo Becal will try to conquer this year's SCORE Stock Full Championship. This new iteration is certainly not suitable for 'soccer moms' anymore as the the Japanese automaker has adapted the LX 570 so it can tackle desert dunes and rugged terrains. Unfortunately for us Toyota does not mention the exact modifications that were performed, but apart from the obvious raised suspension, enhanced lighting system and new set of tires we suspect a roll cage, racing seats, an adapted fuel tank and upgraded brakes.

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 06:44 AM PDT

Porsche 911 GT3 RS SE Rumor Here is a new rumor to which we tend to give credibility considering the number of special edition models that have been rolled out by Porsche lately. According to TeamSpeed the German automaker is planning to 'expand' its 911 GT RS lineup by launching yet another special edition, which will use a 4.0-litre flat six engine instead of a 3.8-litre in order to produce an extra 50 horses, meaning that total output will be 500 HP. Various other sites even mentioning that this 4.0-litre version will use a new PDK-S dual clutch transmission which means gear shifting will become ever faster.

2012 McLaren MP4 12C Road Test Video We've seen Autocar's review of the 2012 McLaren MP4 12C, and their conclusion was that even though in terms of performance the new British sports car is better than its competitors, it does not create the same kind of emotions as the 458 Italia for example.

Video: Mark Webber explains KERS and Rear Wing on 2011 F1 Car

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 02:57 AM PDT

Video: Mark Webber explains KERS and Rear Wing on 2011 F1 Car As you know FIA has allowed the use of KERS in the 2011 season of Formula 1, along with drivers having the ability of adjusting the position of the monopost's rear wing in order to reduce drag. In this next animation video created by Red Bull Racing, Mark Webber explains how these two features may aid in the driver's overall strategy of winning the race. The KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems) allows storage of the energy generated upon braking into a battery pack. When these batteries are charged the F1 driver can send an additional 80 bhp to the back wheels by the push of a button. This boost can be used in small doses or all at once in both defence and attack strategies. Continuare: Video: Mark Webber explains KERS and Rear Wing on 2011 F1 Car

2012 Mercedes A Class sketch A sketch of the next generation 2012 Mercedes A Class has started to circulate across the web, with some sources daring to say this image is official. We cannot confirm that, but judging from the looks of the car, it could very well be true. This upcoming 2012 Mercedes A Class looks way more dynamic than the ongoing model, as if it will compete in the sports coupe segment, due to a series of design elements that are linked to the F800 concept. You can notice the grille and the headlights which are in-line with the automaker's current design philosophy, and hopefully Mercedes will release more details and photos with the 2012 A Class, before its official debut at the Shanghai Motor Show which will run from April 20 to 28.
