| Audi A7 coming to Paris, V10-powered RS7 possible Posted: 06 May 2010 01:26 AM PDT  Audi is preparing its next big thing, the A7 four-door coupe, for its official launch at the Paris Motor Show, this September, according to many voices. As you know by now, the car, based on the A7 Sportback concept, will contend in this new segment with the likes of the next generation Mercedes-Benz CLS, also scheduled to appear in Paris, or the production variant of the BMW Gran Coupe concept we saw a few weeks ago. Now, the guys at Autocar have dug up a fresh new rumor about the new Ingolstadt model: a high performance RS7 is planned and might sport the naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10, currently found on the R8 or Lamborghini Gallardo. We already knew a performance S7 would appear, but an RS7 might blow it out of the water. According to the British magazine, the engine will be mated to a dual-clutch gearbox, and will output somewhere around 580 HP, even more than the newly revealed R8 GT limited edition. The RS7 is set to be at the top of the A7 range, which will use a variety of V6 or V8 engines, both gasoline and diesel ones, depending on the market demands. We were already quite excited about the A7, but the promise of an RS7 of supercar-worthy performance is even more mesmerizing. Source: Autocar Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:

| Toyota has fixed over 3.2 million recalled models, 4.6 million left Posted: 06 May 2010 01:08 AM PDT  Seeing as how Toyota desperately needs to score some more points in the eyes of the public, especially after it has been overtaken by BMW in terms of brand value, the company released a new statement, regarding the repairs on the many recalled vehicles from the start of the year. It seems that Toyota dealerships were extremely busy and managed, since the recall was made official, to fix over 3.2 million vehicles. The breakdown is as follows: • 1.6 million to address the potential for sticking accelerator pedals, Still, the Japanese company has a lot of work ahead, as an estimated 4.6 million vehicles are still in dire need of repairs so that they don’t endanger the life of its drivers, passengers and fellow road users.

| Mazda RX-8 also preparing to exit from US market Posted: 06 May 2010 12:46 AM PDT  Last month, we reported on the fact that Mazda was preparing to pull back the RX-8 from the European market, due to its rotary engine not meeting Euro 5 emissions regulations. Now, a new rumor has started, concerning the exit of the RX-8 from the US market. It seems that even though the Wankel engine still meets US regulations, the low sales and high shipping costs will force Mazda to yank the only remaining rotary-powered sportscar off the North American market. While it isn’t official just yet, all of the logical arguments support the exit of the RX-8. As you remember, a new generation RX-7 is currently in development, but it will arrive much later, around 2013, with a new and improved rotary engine. Until then, if you want such a vehicle, you’d better buy a RX-8 now before they run out. Source: MotorTrend Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:

| 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic auctioned off for a record $30+ million Posted: 06 May 2010 12:15 AM PDT  Evey car owner usually believes his ride is the most expensive one on Earth, given the emotional connection, but it seems no car will be able to contend with this 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic model, which has just been auctioned off for an undisclosed amount, ranging from $30 to $40 million. Why the extremely steep price? Well, only four such models were made, and just two are known to exist today. This specific Bugatti 57SC belonged to the late Dr. Peter Williamson. After his death, California auction house Gooding & Company, together with his estate, decided to sell his vast Bugatti collection. The 57SC Atlantic was the crown jewel of the bunch, and, as you can see, confirmed its status, fetching over $30 million in the auction and becoming the most expensive car on the road today. While no official details are known, rumors peg that the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, acquired the iconic Bugatti, so we might get to see it on exhibit in the future.

As you all know, the current 2.4-liter V8 units might be replaced with smaller, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engines, in order to increase efficiency and lower emissions. Still, this news should definitely make a lot of fans happy, as it will (hopefully) lead to a more exciting Formula 1 championship. Source: Autocar Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:

| Volkswagen presents electric Golf Blue-e-motion, plans three EVs by 2013 Posted: 05 May 2010 12:11 AM PDT  Volkswagen has just revealed a few details about its electric future, at a recent event held in Germany that celebrates the launch of the National Platform for Electric Mobility, a public-private partnership that will ensure the infrastructure and production of zero emission vehicles. At this gathering, VW showcased its first electric prototype, the Golf Blue-e-motion. The e-Golf, for short, will use a lithium-ion battery pack, that can allow for an autonomy of 93 miles, per each charge. The pack sends its power to a 85 kW (114 HP) electric motor, that can develop an impressive 199 lb-ft of torque from zero rpm. The unit is connected to a single-speed gearbox and a differential. The pretty powerful e-Golf prototype (0 to 62 mph in 11.8 seconds), is the first of a test fleet of 500 vehicles, set to roll down Germany’s roads starting next year. The test EVs will provide valuable insight to the VW engineers. This research, according to the German company, will be used in 2013, when it plans to release three electric vehicles. First will be the Up blue-e-motion city car, followed by the next generation Golf blue-e-motion and finally by the next Jetta compact sedan EV.

| Infiniti recalls over 134,000 G35 coupes and sedans over airbag issues Posted: 04 May 2010 11:58 PM PDT  It seems this week has been filled with multiple recalls, all from pretty important carmakers. Now, Infiniti is joining the ‘party’, as it has announced a global recall of over 134,000 G35 coupe and sedan models manufactured around the mid 2000s. The affected models are: 2005 and 2006 G35 sedans and 2005 through 2007 G35 coupes, sold all around the world, not just in the USA. It seems that these models were fitted with improper airbag wire harnesses, which, after an extended period of time, may wear down, leading to the airbag not deploying when a crash occurs. Luckily no incidents or injuries were reported as of yet, but Infiniti will begin announcing all owners of such models of the potential defect. The Japanese luxury carmaker has not yet informed the NHTSA just what fix it will implement, but you can clearly guess that a new airbag assembly is required.

| GM’s ‘deceptive’ Whitacre commercial targeted by FTC complaint Posted: 04 May 2010 11:46 PM PDT  A few weeks ago, General Motors announced that it has repaid in full the cash bailout it received from the US and Canadian governments, ahead of schedule. In order to really boast its achievement, the company unveiled a new ad, with its CEO, Ed Whitacre, strolling down an assembly plant of new GM models and saying that the company is on its way back to a good financial situation, as it has “repaid the government loan in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule.” But things might not be so rosy for GM, as a complaint against its commercial has been lodged with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) by advocacy group Competitive Enterprise Institute. In it, GM’s ad is called deceptive, as it fooled the public. According to the critics, it seems GM paid back those government loans from another federal bailout account. The complaint says that the ad “gives the false impression that GM has used its own funds to pay back all the bailout money that it received from the federal government. In fact, GM has only repaid a fraction of those funds — barely 10 percent. Moreover, GM apparently repaid its loan by using other federal funds." As you may remember, GM paid only the cash loans it received, but the US government still holds around $50 billion in company shares, which will be paid back when the company goes public, presumably at the end of the year. In regards to this complaint, a GM spokesperson revealed that the company is confident its ad meets FTC standards. If an investigation will be opened by the federal commission, we might be in for some interesting things. Source: Automotive News Post published on Rpmgo.com Related posts:

| US-spec 2012 Buick compact sedan (Excelle) leaked in patent sketches Posted: 04 May 2010 11:44 PM PDT  Patent sketches once again foil the somewhat secretive plans of GM. After the Chevrolet Volt MPV5 concept was leaked before its debut at the Beijing Motor Show, another filing with the US Patent Office has revealed a new Buick compact sedan. From the looks of it, this new model is almost exactly like the Buick Excelle, current available in China. It will no doubt be based on GM’s Delta platform, the same one that underpins the Chevy Cruze or the Opel Astra.  Still, according to a few voices, the compact sedan, that will slot in below the upcoming Regal, won’t be carrying the Excelle name in the US, but a completely new one, set to mark a fresh start for compact Buick models. Expect the future 2012 model year sedan to boast a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, like the Cruze, but also a bigger 180 HP 1.6-liter turbo unit, like the Chinese Excelle.

| Volkswagen taking final orders on current generation New Beetle Posted: 04 May 2010 10:58 PM PDT  Volkswagen hailed the launch of the current generation New Beetle as something along the lines of the second coming, hoping that the retro-inspired compact would garner the same huge sales as the original Beetle cult car. Sadly, at lest for the company, the high price coupled with lackluster marketing made the New Beetle a flop. Thanks to new rumors though, it seems that the next generation (new new beetle) will actually try to be a proper compact car, in order to rival stiff opposition like the Mini Cooper or Fiat 500. Still, if you’re set on owning a current New Beetle, you’d better get one soon, as Volkswagen will cease production in the near future, making them only a collector’s item. If you’re lucky, you can even get one of the Final Edition New Beetles, which were paraded through the 2009 LA Auto Show. If you do have some common sense though, it’s best to wait until the end of the year when the new New Beetle will be presented to the public.

| Wheelsandmore presents tuned Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702 Posted: 04 May 2010 10:48 PM PDT  The Bentley Continental is one might impressive luxury sportscar. But seeing as how its top of the range version, the Supersports, ‘only’ extracted 620 HP from that massive W12 6.0-liter engine, the tuners at Wheelsandmore decided that a few upgrades might be in order. So, after a bit of tinkering and adding things like an optimized ECU, a new exhaust system, a set of 21-inch, 3-piece modular wheels plus an electronically-adjustable suspension, the Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702 was born. The new British luxury sportscar now develops a whopping 702 HP with 650 lb-ft of torque. Together with the other bespoke features, we’re pretty sure this package from Wheelsandmore will attract quite a few performance fans, not happy with the stock Supersports.
