Oficial: BMW Serie 1 tres puertas, M135i incluido
Filed under: BMW, CompactosPincha la imagen para ver la galería BMW está cogiendo la costumbre de reservar lanzamientos para los fines de semana. En esta ocasión el elegido es el nuevo Serie 1 en carrocería de tres puertas, que hasta ahora sólo habíamos visto camuflado, o en forma conceptual con el M135i Concept. Respecto al ya conocido cinco puertas nos encontramos los típicos cambios predecibles (puertas más largas), y algunos llamativos. Por ejemplo, el lateral de la carrocería resulta más esculpido, con una forma "dinámica" que envuelve el paso de rueda trasero y que queda claramente más marcado. Las puertas pierden el marco, para dar una sensación más deportiva.Gallery: BMW Serie 1 3 puertasContinue reading Oficial: BMW Serie 1 tres puertas, M135i incluidoOficial: BMW Serie 1 tres puertas, M135i incluido originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 13 May 2012 03:18:00 EST.

New Audi TT For 2014
It's amazing and slightly worrying – in a passing of time sort of way – to note that the Audi TT has been with us since 1998. It was revamped in 2006 and will be again in 2014. The next TT, we are told, will be 'more dynamic and performance focused' than its predecessor. What [...]

Official: 2013 BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon unveiled, is U.S.-bound
Filed under: Wagon, BMW, Luxury The wagon is not dead! BMW has unveiled the latest 3 Series Sports Wagon and announced that it will again be available to U.S. customers. The new long-roof 3 goes on sale in Europe later this year as the 328i, 330d, and 320d Touring. U.S. customers need to wait until Spring 2013 for the 3 Series Sports Wagon to arrive in showrooms, and powertrain details for our market have not yet been announced. The current 3 Series wagon is only offered as the 328i here in the U.S. (with and without xDrive). The new car is larger than the current model, and boasts 10 percent more cargo volume according to BMW. As with the 3 Series sedan, the wagon will be available in Sport, Luxury, and Modern lines, as well as an M Sport Line, each with a unique approach to their interior and exterior trim. Inside, the back seats have a 40:20:40 split, and the cargo space offers plenty of room (as you can see in the photos). There's also hidden storage, a standard partition net, and if the cargo cover isn't in use, it can be stowed under the cargo floor for added convenience. Amenities include an available power tailgate that, with the optional Comfort Access package, becomes a hands-free power tailgate; you just wave your foot under the bumper a la the new Ford Escape. Naturally, BMW will offer its full complement of tech and driver aids, like BMW Apps, a color HUD, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection, BMW Parking Assistant, Rear-view Camera with Top View, and the BMW Assist telematics service. So, the good news: new 3 Series wagon. The bad news: you need to wait a year. But that's better than no wagon at all, right.2013 BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon unveiled, is U.S.-bound originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 12 May 2012 20:20:00 EST.

Video: Depth of Speed does track time in a classic Skyline with JDM Legends
Filed under: Classics, Coupe, Videos, NissanDepth of Speed is Josh Clason's video series that cosses the country looking for cool automotive stories to tell. He found another one in Utah at JDM Legends. They let Clason take one of their vintage Skyline GT-R projects out on track for some sunset lens time, and the result is nothing less than you'd expect from Clason. On a side note, while the current Nissan GT-R is totally awesome, we wish it had a bit more of this car's cool vibe. Follow the jump for the video.Continue reading Depth of Speed does track time in a classic Skyline with JDM LegendsDepth of Speed does track time in a classic Skyline with JDM Legends originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 12 May 2012 20:01:00 EST.

Report: Volkswagen to offer Fender edition Beetle
Filed under: Concept Cars, Frankfurt Motor Show, Hatchback, VolkswagenVolkswagen worked with Fender, its stereo partner, to put together the concept Beetle shown at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. The concept had an iPod dock set into amp-like mesh, a tube amp, sunburst-patterened wood trim and a trunk-mounted sub you could plug your guitar into.Car and Driver reports that a production version is coming, perhaps before the end of the year, but it will be missing several of the components that made the concept that much cooler, like the mesh-decorated dock, the tube amp and the port in the sub. Oh, and the sunburst-pattern trim might not be made of wood. There's plenty that could remain, though. The black concept featured special red and chrome trim, a leather roof, and sat on a lowered suspension with 19-inch wheels. Those could make it through the production transition, as well as the high-end Fender stereo system, naturally.Volkswagen to offer Fender edition Beetle originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 12 May 2012 18:04:00 EST.

Smart electric scooter going on sale in 2014
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, SMART, On Two Wheels, Daimler The ForTwo company is giving us two ForOnes. After releasing details on its ebike, Daimler's Smart division has announced it will start selling a battery-electric scooter in 2014. Smart first unveiled the escooter along side its electric-powered bike at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010 and said the scooter would have a single-charge range of 62 miles. The scooter's four-kilowatt electric motor is mounted on the rear wheel and provides a top speed of 28 miles per hour. The escooter was part of a broader electric-mobility plan Smart outlined at that Paris show. That plan also included an electric-powered bike as well as a battery-electric version of the ForTwo. Earlier this week, Smart said it would start selling its ebikes in the UK this month. The bike has a 250-watt electric motor and a battery pack that offers around 62 miles of single-charge range.Continue reading Smart electric scooter going on sale in 2014Smart electric scooter going on sale in 2014 originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Sat, 12 May 2012 17:05:00 EST.

Official: Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch mini-vehicle in Japan
Filed under: Budget, Japan, Hatchback, Toyota, Daihatsu Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch. It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards. The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.Continue reading Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch mini-vehicle in JapanToyota launches new Pixis Epoch mini-vehicle in Japan originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 12 May 2012 16:03:00 EST.

New Mini John Cooper Works GP unveiled
Filed under: Performance, Hatchback, MiniSpy shots pretty much said it's coming, and here it is: the new Mini John Cooper Works GP. It's making an appearance at the Mini United Festival in France this weekend, and while Mini has yet to detail specific power numbers or show off the car's interior, it has produced a Nurburgring time: 8 minutes, 23 seconds, which, as we reported back in April, betters the last Mini GP (circa 2006) by 19 seconds. Like its predecessor, the GP-spec hardtop loses its back seat for weight reduction, gets a full complement of power and suspension upgrades, including a race-spec suspension and brakes, and sports exclusive aero tweaks, wheels and graphics to differentiate itself from "regular" JCW models. Figure on a power figure north of the 214 horses the last GP produced (standard JCW Minis make 208 hp right now). Only 2,000 of the new Mini JCW GPs will be built and sold globally. Given that the regular John Cooper Works models are fairly marvelous as is, the GP should be deliriously fun. No pricing yet, but since a loaded-up John Cooper Works easily runs into the high-$30K range now, we'd expect the limited-production GP to skip right past the $40,000 mark. Now, when are they unveiling the GP Coupe?New Mini John Cooper Works GP unveiled originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 12 May 2012 14:01:00 EST.

Vídeo: Un paseo a bordo del Giugiaro Brivido
Filed under: Conceptuales Cuando hablamos de concepts, nos podemos considerar extremadamente afortunados si el coche en cuestión es algo más que una simple maqueta con un interior vagamente funcional. Bastante es de hecho si tienen alguna clase de motor. Por eso el Giugiaro Brivido nos llama tanto la atención, y es que este prototipo presentado en el Salón de Ginebra es mucho más que una cara bonita. Los chicos de la revista Road & Track pudieron subirse hace poco al concept desarrollado por Italdesign, e incluso sentarse de paquete durante un breve recorrido alpino. ¿Nos estará avanzando un posible modelo de producción para el Grupo Volkswagen? Esa es una pregunta para la que no tenemos respuesta, pero su sistema híbrido 3.0 V6 de 360 CV está muy en línea con la mecánica del Panamera Hybrid, y hasta el centro multimedia integrado es totalmente funcional (fue desarrollado por el laboratorio de I+D de VW en Silicon Valley, por si te lo preguntas). Te dejamos con el vídeo tras el salto.Gallery: Giugiaro Brivido Concept - Ginebra 2012Continue reading Vídeo: Un paseo a bordo del Giugiaro BrividoVídeo: Un paseo a bordo del Giugiaro Brivido originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sat, 12 May 2012 13:04:00 EST.

The show airs footage from cruiser dash cams and the like to give the world a glimpse of what police face in cities across the country, from high-speed chases to armed bank robberies We wouldn't exactly call "World's Wildest Police Videos" intellectual entertainment by any stretch, but there's something to be said for switching off your brainbox for 30 minutes. "World's Wildest Police Videos" comes from a long line of such noble shows. Paul Stojanovich Jr. helms the creation as executive producer. If that name looks familiar, it should. His father, Paul Stojanovich Sr. is the mind behind "COPS." Look for "World's Wildest Police Videos" on Spike at 8:00 pm EST Mondays.
