El Mustang GT500 tiene ¡662 caballos!
Filed under: Ford Hace ya meses que Ford distribuyó una información con la que llamar la atención: el nuevo Mustang GT500 iba a tener unos 650 caballos. Era la mejor manera de contestar con cifras, como a los estadounidenses les gusta, a la llegada del Camaro ZL1, que tiene 580. Chevrolet aseguró, en una política "más a la europea", que lo importante no eran las cifras, sino el hecho de que el Camaro sería más rápido en circuito que el Mustang, gracias a su comportamiento. Pues bien, hoy Ford vuelve a tirar de la manta con el tema "cifras puras", al confirmar oficialmente que su Mustang GT500 tiene, concretamente, 662 caballos, lo que lo convierte en el coche de producción seriada con el motor V8 más potente del planeta. Como rezaba el eslogan de Pirelli hace años "la potencia sin control, no sirve de nada". Sin manera de comprobar cuánto control se puede sacar del GT500 (pronto pasará por las manos de nuestros compañeros de Autoblog USA, y os lo podremos contar), por el momento no sabemos a ciencia cierta quién va ganando la partida. Pero en un país como EEUU, donde números sobre el papel se traducen instantáneamente en tráfico y ventas en los concesionarios, seguramente este nuevo anuncio le venta bien a Ford y su mítico Mustang.

Video: Japanese TV show pits MX-5 against BRZ and FR-S at Twin Ring Motegi
Filed under: Convertible, Coupe, Japan, Videos, Mazda, Scion, Toyota A Japanese motoring show, complete with titles in comic fonts, put three racing pilots behind the wheels of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S (Toyota 86, in this case) for three laps of the 2.1-mile East Road Course at Twin Ring Motegi. Of course the segment producers know that putting the 167-horsepower roadster against the 200-hp coupes isn't exactly fair, so they gave the Mazda a small head start of about three grid positions. Ex-sports car racer Takayuki Kinoshita handles the Mazda, former open-wheel pilot Naoki Hattori drives the BRZ, and former Le Mans-class winner Keiichi Tsuchiya gets fast and loose in the FR-S. The drivers offer copious on-track commentary, but it's in Japanese. That said, watching the MX-5 try to stay in front and watching Tsuchiya start drifting are universal gearhead languages. You'll find the action after the jump.Continue reading Japanese TV show pits MX-5 against BRZ and FR-S at Twin Ring MotegiJapanese TV show pits MX-5 against BRZ and FR-S at Twin Ring Motegi originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:01:00 EST.

Citroën Brasil cesa la producción del Xsara Picasso
Filed under: Citroën, Industria, Monovolúmenes y MPV En unos días el Citroën Xsara Picasso cesará su producción en las instalaciones que PSA tiene en la localidad brasileña de Porto Real. Este modelo ya dejó de fabricarse en Europa hace unos meses y ahora la filial en Brasil ha decidido hacer lo mismo. El Xsara Picasso comenzó su ensamblaje en Brasil en el año 2001 y desde entonces se han vendido más de 106.000 unidades en ese país, si bien también se han comercializado en otros países de la región como Argentina. La llegada de los C3 Picasso y Aircross producidos localmente y la importación del C4 Picasso ha provocado que las ventas de este veterano se hayan resentido en los últimos meses. Las últimas unidades de este modelo están asociadas al motor 1.6i 16v Flex con 113 CV y dos niveles de equipamiento, GLX y Exclusive S. Los precios recomendados arrancan en los 48.990 reales, unos 19.580 € al cambio actual.Continue reading Citroën Brasil cesa la producción del Xsara PicassoCitroën Brasil cesa la producción del Xsara Picasso originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:47:00 EST.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Filed under: Aftermarket, Classics, Convertible, Auctions, Etc., Pontiac, Specialty, Design/Style Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original. Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting. If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:01:00 EST.

Chevy Volt takes a dip in the pool at Coachella. With bikinis.
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Hybrid, Chevrolet The PR department for the GM Western Region swears there's Chevrolet Volt in the image above. We think we can spot it, but we're not sure. The still is taken from a promotional video for the Volt Recharge Lounge at the Coachella music festival in California recently. Called "Voltchella: The Chevy Volt Pool Party," the clip is a minute of attractive people in bathing suits alongside a Volt floating in a pool. Seriously. There's not much else to say about it, because all the video shows are the people - including celebrities like Paris Hilton and some actor from The Hunger Games - and the car. The coolest part? When we see a tall crane shot of the Volt being lifted into place. The rest? Well, it's not the most pointless Volt video we've ever seen, but it's pretty close. See for yourself down below.Continue reading Chevy Volt takes a dip in the pool at Coachella. With bikinis.Chevy Volt takes a dip in the pool at Coachella.

El Citroën Numéro 9 influenciará los futuros modelos DS
Filed under: Citroën, ConceptualesHaz clic en la foto para saltar a la galería Es posible que el Citroën Numéro 9 haya nacido con el mercado chino en mente, pero su impronta podría dejarse ver en los futuros modelos DS para el resto del mundo. La revista británica CAR pudo hablar recientemente con Thierry Metroz, jefe de diseño de la marca gala, quien ha confesado la importancia global del DS9 conceptual. Según Metroz, que antes de recalar en Citroën estuvo trabajando para Renault bajo las órdenes de Patrick le Quement, el Numéro 9 avanza detalles como el uso de una calandra más tridimensional y que da menos importancia a los chevrones como elemento identificativo. La idea es hacer que los consumidores puedan reconocer a los futuros modelos DS no ya por la integración del logo sino por la propia calandra, igual que Audi y BMW.Gallery: Citroën Numéro 9Continue reading El Citroën Numéro 9 influenciará los futuros modelos DSEl Citroën Numéro 9 influenciará los futuros modelos DS originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:00:00 EST.

Report: UK judge finds mom culpable for child's injuries because of incorrect child seat
Filed under: Government/Legal, Safety, UK Any time a parent's poor judgment results in harm or injury to a child, it's a sad case. This story, however, seems particularly tragic. According to The Telegraph, a British woman whose daughter was seriously injured in a car crash was found negligent and partially responsible for her daughter's injuries because the girl was riding in an inappropriate child safety seat. While the accident was judged to be entirely the fault of the other driver, according to the report, his insurance company insisted that part of the responsibility for the girl's injuries fell on her mother. Despite having an appropriate car seat with a five-point harness in the vehicle, the three-year-old girl was riding in a booster seat designed for older children. The judge agreed with the insurer and ruled that the mother was 25 percent liable for her child's head, spinal and internal injuries, which the report said will affect her for the rest of her life. The decision means the woman will receive less financial compensation from the insurance company. While we're sure that the woman - who was described by the judge as "an excellent and caring mother," according to the report - feels no small measure of guilt, her case reinforces the necessity of proper seatbelt and child safety seat use.

Se trata del Prius+, un monovolumen de siete plazas y diseño atrevido.

Video: Lamborghini gives us one last glimpse at the one-of-a-kind Aventador J
Filed under: Convertible, Performance, Videos, Lamborghini Jaws dropped last month in Geneva when Lamborghini took the wraps off the Aventador J. Looking like the bastard love-child of an Aventador coupe and a KTM X-Bow, the Aventador J packed the same 700-horsepower V12 into a visceral roadster body. The fleeting beauty and startling reality of it, however, is that Lamborghini only made one. It reportedly sold for $2.74 million and went home from the Palexpo with an unnamed collector. So if you missed your opportunity to see it in Switzerland, the closest you may ever get is with the video after the jump.Continue reading Lamborghini gives us one last glimpse at the one-of-a-kind Aventador JLamborghini gives us one last glimpse at the one-of-a-kind Aventador J originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 14:02:00 EST.

Rumor: Alpine regresará a la vida en el GP de Mónaco
Filed under: Renault La resurrección de Alpine podría estar mucho más cerca de lo que imaginábamos en Autoblog. La prensa gala ha explotado en rumores sobre el regreso de la marca deportiva de Renault aprovechando el Gran Premio de Mónaco, basándose en las informaciones publicadas por el periodista francés Renaud Roubaudi en su página persona. Roubaudi, colaborador de varios diarios y bien conectado con la industria gala del automóvil, afirma que Renault piensa escenificar el regreso de Alpine al mundo de los vivos el próximo 25 de mayo en Mónaco, utilizando alguna clase de prototipo rodante que llegará a un escenario preparado por Red Bull. Allí se reunirá con Carlos Tavares, responsable de Renault, Laurens van den Acker, jefe de diseño, y Alain Prost (sobran los comentarios), que ofrecerán una rueda de prensa para los medios congregados donde imaginamos que nos pondrán al corriente de los planes elaborados por la casa del rombo.Continue reading Rumor: Alpine regresará a la vida en el GP de MónacoRumor: Alpine regresará a la vida en el GP de Mónaco originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 29 Apr 2012 13:42:00 EST.
