Peugeot introduce en Japón el nuevo 208
Filed under: Peugeot, Industria, Hatchbacks Pese a que las marcas importadas en Japón tienen una cuota pequeña en relación al mercado total, para muchos fabricantes es un buen negocio vender sus productos. Peugeot es una de las firmas que mejores resultados consigue año tras año, y con el lanzamiento del 208 esperan mejorarlos. El polivalente llega para superar las buenas cifras del 207, un modelo que siempre conseguía colarse entre los 20 importados más vendidos (gracias a los CC y SW especialmente). El 208 se venderá en esta primera fase en versiones de tres y cinco puertas con los motores 1.2i 16v de 82 CV y caja manual, 1.6 VTI de 120 CV con cambio automático y 1.6 VTI 120 CV con cambio manual, este exclusivo del acabado deportivo GT.Continue reading Peugeot introduce en Japón el nuevo 208Peugeot introduce en Japón el nuevo 208 originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 30 Sep 2012 03:30:00 EST.

Video: Red Bull releases re-edit of F1 car in Lincoln Tunnel with only engine sounds
Filed under: Motorsports, Videos, Racing Just like any vacation, Red Bull Racing had plenty of fun last month when it did a little sightseeing in New York City and New Jersey. First, the team stopped and got a photo op with the New York skyline while playing The Star-Spangled Banner and then it took to the streets of New Jersey driving along the proposed route of the 2014 Grand Prix of America (you know, if it actually happens). Every good trip must come to an end though, so the team heads to the Lincoln Tunnel for the final video of Red Bull's trip, which is just as fun to watch as it is to listen to. Red Bull Racing teased us with this video last month, but now we finally get to see its RB7 Formula One racer tearing through the tunnel connecting New Jersey and Manhattan. The 1.5-mile long tubes usually see daily traffic of well over 100,000 vehicles, and we're sure there's never been such a powerful car (or so little traffic) commuting underneath the Hudson River. The best part is that the car's engine provides the only soundtrack. Check out the video below to see and hear what it's like to let a Formula One car loose in the Lincoln Tunnel.Continue reading Red Bull releases re-edit of F1 car in Lincoln Tunnel with only engine soundsRed Bull releases re-edit of F1 car in Lincoln Tunnel with only engine sounds originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 20:00:00 EST.

ETC: Vanity Fair asks auto writers what car they'd buy for $100k
Filed under: Convertible, Coupe, Budget, Sedan, Performance, Etc., Crossover, Electric As automotive writers, we're always asked what our favorite cars are or which cars we would buy if we had the money. To answer the latter query, Vanity Fair's Brett Berk polled 13 scribes to see what they'd pick for under $100,000. An interesting mix of vehicles ensues. Some of the choices stretched the imaginary budget to its max while others went all bang-for-the-buck on us, but what's most surprising about the list is that more than half the cars on it are not available with a manual transmission. Of course cars like the Porsche 911, Ford Mustang and a couple of Mercedes-Benz AMG cars make the cut, but there were also a handful of choices that caught us off guard. Jonny Lieberman of Motor Trend chose the Subaru BRZ, Autoblog weekend editor Alex Nunez would love commuting in a brown Tesla Model S Performance, and Jake Fisher of Consumer Reports picked the Hyundai Veloster... non-turbo! Here's the full list of what these 13 auto writers would take home if given a sub-$100,000 car: Mercedes-Benz E63 Wagon Audi A7 Mini John Cooper Works Convertible Porsche 911 Carrera S Hyundai Veloster Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Jaguar XF Supercharged Lotus Evora Subaru BRZ Tesla Model S Performance Ford Mustang Boss 302 Range Rover Evoque So what do you say? If you could buy ANY new car priced under $100,000, which would you choose? Let us know in the comments below.Vanity Fair asks auto writers what car they'd buy for $100k originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 19:02:00 EST.

Report: Hennessey releases renderings, details of new Viper-based Venom 700R, 1000 Twin Turbo
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, SRT Hennessey Performance is known for taking fast cars and making them even faster. Just imagining what the Texas-based tuner can do with the 2013 SRT Viper is pretty exciting, and it seems like we won't have to wait much longer as Hennessey has released renderings and specs for the new Venom 700R and the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo. After purchasing a 2013 Viper or a Viper GTS (for $97,395 and $120,395, respectively), those looking to add a little venom to their snake can have the car shipped to Texas for the upgrades; Hennessey has not released pricing for either of its new Venom Viper models. Stepping up from the base 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque that the SRT Viper delivers, the Venom 700R gets freer-flowing intake and exhaust, helping to increase the 8.4-liter V10's output up to 725 horses and 695 lb.-ft. of twist. This is done with reworked cylinder heads and exhaust system as well as a retuned engine computer; all with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty. On the 700R, Hennessey claims a 0-60 time of 3.1 second, a quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds at 134 miles per hour, and a top speed of 216 mph. If that isn't enough power and speed for you, Hennessey can dig even deeper into the engine and toss on a couple of turbochargers to create the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo. Hennessey says this engine will be rated at 1,120 hp and 1,092 lb.-ft. of torque which can get this car to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds and through the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds at 152 mph. To accommodate such massive output, almost everything about the Viper's engine has to be upgraded except for the block and crankshaft. It isn't clear if these stated performance and engine specs are preliminary numbers or actual tested numbers, but they're impressive nonetheless. Options for both cars range from aero upgrades to must-have racing equipment like a rollbar and five-point harnesses. Check out all of the detailed changes being made to the Hennessey Venom cars in the press release posted below.Continue reading Hennessey releases renderings, details of new Viper-based Venom 700R, 1000 Twin TurboHennessey releases renderings, details of new Viper-based Venom 700R, 1000 Twin Turbo originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:01:00 EST.

El Mercedes Clase A, ya a la venta en Chile
Filed under: Mercedes-Benz, Industria, Compactos, Hatchbacks Haz clic en la imagen para saltar a la galería Sorprende ver cómo Mercedes lanza el Clase A en Chile casi al mismo tiempo que en Europa. Es cierto que en el viejo continente se pueden realizar las reservas desde hace unos meses, pero las primeras entregas casi coincidirán en el tiempo con las que se hagan en el país andino. Cierto es que Chile siempre ha sido una aventajada en la recepción de nuevos productos en relación a otros países de la región. El Clase A debutará en el Salón del Automóvil de Santiago e inmediatamente después comenzará su comercialización en tres versiones. Para los primeros meses del 2013 se espera que se sumen las variantes más deportivas conocidas como A250 y que presumen de un buen nivel de prestaciones.Gallery: Mercedes-Benz Clase A 2012Continue reading El Mercedes Clase A, ya a la venta en ChileEl Mercedes Clase A, ya a la venta en Chile originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:28:00 EST.

Paris: Toyota debuts 2013 Verso with a new nose and high hopes
Filed under: Minivan/Van, Europe, Paris Motor Show, Hatchback, Toyota After the mini-people mover's introduction in 2010, the 2013 Toyota Verso signals a significant mid-cycle refresh for the model. Changes for the 2013 Verso include visual updates to the front and rear - new headlights, LED running lights, taillights etc. - as well as other exterior tweaks. The inside has been refined as well, with more soft-touch materials, satin chrome trim and cool new lighting; just what the small, modern European family needs to motor in happiness. Getting it all right is important, too, if Toyota hopes to meet its own lofty sales goals for the MPV - the company stated that it wants to sell 50,000 Versos in 2013, which would give the vehicle five percent of the European market for its segment. Take a closer look at the freshened 2013 Toyota Verso, live on its stand at the Paris show, in our gallery of images. Full details are available in the press blast posted below.Continue reading Toyota debuts 2013 Verso with a new nose and high hopesToyota debuts 2013 Verso with a new nose and high hopes originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:32:00 EST.

Lexus Eco Challenge entices teens with $500,000 in grants, scholarships
Filed under: Green Culture, Hybrid, Lexus The sixth annual Lexus Eco Challenge has launched, giving young students a shot at winning part of $500,000 in grants and scholarships. More than 22,000 middle school and high school students have been included in past programs, where more than $3.5 million has been awarded to students, teachers and schools. Last year, for example, Lexington, KY's "One-Towel Wonders" team was a grand prize winner by showing how big an impact using just one towel per person per week could have on the environment. Part of the program is based on providing teachers with standards-based supplementary educational materials to teach students about the environment. The second part, which we suspect students can get more excited about, is a competition that rewards action through environmental team challenges. Each of the challenges will have 16 winning teams - eight middle school and eight high school teams. The winning teams will each receive $10,000 in scholarships and grants to be shared among the students, teacher and school. For each of the challenges, teams define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report the results. Submission deadlines for Challenge #1 (land/water) is October 29, 2012 and, for Challenge #2 (air/climate), December 17, 2012. What do Lexus and parent company Toyota get out of it? The Lexus Eco Challenge is part of The Lexus Pursuit of Potential, a philanthropic initiative that generates up to $3 million in donations each year for organizations that help build, shape and improve children's lives, the company says. Marketing low-emission hybrid vehicles to GenY doesn't hurt, either. Lexus has been right behind Toyota in making and marketing hybrids, and has five of these models in its product lineup.Continue reading Lexus Eco Challenge entices teens with $500,000 in grants, scholarshipsLexus Eco Challenge entices teens with $500,000 in grants, scholarships originally appeared on AutoblogGreen on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:27:00 EST.

Video: Texas DOT refuses to pay for damage when road sign falls on SUV
Filed under: SUV, Government/Legal, Videos, Luxury A Texas woman recently found herself with no recourse after a large traffic sign fell on her Lexus SUV. Stephanie Hawkins was stopped at a light with her teenage daughter when she felt her vehicle shake violently. Thinking she'd been in an accident, she stepped outside only to find a sign had fallen over onto her vehicle. After taking photos of the incident and receiving a repair estimate of $2,791.25, Hawkins filed a claim with the Texas Department of Transportation. TxDOT quickly responded by saying the state government was not responsible for the damage and therefore would not pay to fix her vehicle. How is that possible? According to Texas, government agencies are not liable for damages caused while performing government safety functions. That includes maintaining signs. The ruling is part of the Texas Tort Claims Act and the Doctrine of Government Immunity. In a separate statement, TxDOT said it investigated the claim and found no negligence on its part. Take a look at the local news report on the incident below.Continue reading Texas DOT refuses to pay for damage when road sign falls on SUVTexas DOT refuses to pay for damage when road sign falls on SUV originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 15:02:00 EST.

2013 Audi S3 is hot-hatch forbidden fruit par excellence
Filed under: Car Buying, Performance, Europe, Paris Motor Show, Hatchback, Audi, Luxury Alas, of all the not-for-U.S. models we see every year, some sting more than others. While the Volkswagen GTI may define 'hot-hatch' stateside, the 2013 Audi S3 ups the ante, and it looks even tastier and forbidden up close. The centerpiece of the A3 is the new 2.0-liter TFSI inline-4. The turbocharged mill generates a whopping 300 horsepower and 280 pound feet of torque. Power is sent through either a six-speed manual transmission or optional S-Tronic gearbox to quattro full-time all-wheel drive. With a curb weight that is 132 pounds lower than its predecessor, the S3 is able to get from zero to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds. Fuel economy is listed at 6.9-liters per 100 kilometers, which converts to just over 34 miles per gallon, though the EPA testing cycle differs. A lot of the luxury and safety tech found in the S3 comes from its larger stablemates. Adaptive cruise control, MMI user interface, navigation, and a Bang & Olufsen audio system all put the 'premium' in 'premium performance compact.' If you're one of the lucky European hooligans with €38,900 ($50,699) to plunk down, the S3 could be yours. You'll have to wait a few months, though, as it doesn't land in dealerships until early 2013. Audi's PR blast is posted below.

Este sustituto "a medias" del SX4 (va a ser claramente más grande) cuenta con una plataforma propia, tras la rotura del acuerdo vigente con Fiat para la fabricación en paralelo del Sedici. Pero los costes de desarrollo y producción son muy elevados, y la marca nipona está abierta a buscar un compañero de aventuras.

Paris: 2013 Citroën C3 Picasso exemplifies utility, cubist charm
Filed under: Europe, Paris Motor Show, Crossover, Hatchback, Citroën We Americans are far too self-conscious to widely adopt the immensely utilitarian MPV, opting for bloated, high-riding crossovers. In Europe, on the other hand, vehicles like the Citroen C3 Picasso are optimal for families in towns where the streets were once farm paths. This funky people-mover was first unveiled in 2007 and has gone on to move more than 320,000 units in sales. Citroën brought very little to the table in the way of specs, but from what we can tell, the visual updates are on the subtle side, bringing it more in line with the rest of the French automaker's product offerings. The free-floating double-chevron logo of Citroen is now anchored by faux vents that run from headlight to headlight. Upper and lower grilles now have a honeycomb pattern, and LED running lights have been added below the fog lights. Pricing and availability have not yet been released, but that information will become available as the C3 Picasso nears its arrival in dealerships in January of 2013. More details are available in the press release below.

Paris: 2013 Peugeot RCZ is a mild revision on perfect French cool
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Europe, Paris Motor Show, Peugeot Peugeot's 2013 RCZ coupe ­- the stylish French answer to the Audi TT - is live and in color on the Paris show floor. Peugeot, in a sign of welcome restraint, hasn't done a lot to alter the overall exterior appearance of the RCZ, a car that looks as ahead-of-its-time today as it did when it came to market three years ago. Some mild updates to the car's front fascia - a satin-chrome grille, reshaped lower intake and LED running lights - can be pretty easily picked out. The double-bubble carbon fiber roof can now be ordered in a matte or a satin finish, and the sweeping roof rails can be had in black, aluminum and "sand." Four total engines will be offered for the RCZ coupe, with a 200-horsepower, 202-pound-feet 1.6-liter as the top gasoline-powered mill, and a 163-hp, 250-lb-ft 2.0-liter diesel as the top derv-burner. Based on what we're seeing in the Paris show halls today, we'd be quite happy with this new RCZ as the wheels for our next French holiday.Continue reading 2013 Peugeot RCZ is a mild revision on perfect French cool2013 Peugeot RCZ is a mild revision on perfect French cool originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 10:02:00 EST.

Filed under: Chevrolet, Suzuki, Autoblog, Industria, Sedanes y berlinas, Hatchbacks, Holden, Pontiac Haz clic en la imagen para saltar a la galería El representante de "Las Mil Caras..." que te traemos hoy es el Daewoo Kalos, un modelo tan remarcado como importante para General Motors. Las versiones que analizamos aquí son las que se comercializaron entre 2002 y 2011, es decir, justo las anteriores a las del actual Aveo/Sonic que Chevrolet vende en buena parte del globo. El Kalos original fue el último modelo desarrollado por Daewoo Motors antes de que la mala situación económica de la empresa les llevara a la bancarrota y fuese General Motors la que absorbiera tanto la marca como muchas de las instalaciones -no todas- y proyectos en cartera. Lo que no se imaginaban en GM es que el sucesor del Lanos les fuese a dar tantas alegrías, convirtiéndose durante años en un modelo de elevadas cifras de ventas.Gallery: Daewoo Kalos Hatch - SedánContinue reading Las mil caras del Daewoo KalosLas mil caras del Daewoo Kalos originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 09:37:00 EST.

Nuevas imágenes del Clio RS
Filed under: Renault, Salón del Automóvil de París, Utilitarios, DeportivosPincha la imagen para ver la galería Nos quedamos cortos con las fotos del Clio RS, ¿verdad? Te traemos para resarcirte dos galerías. Una con nuevas fotos "de estudio" del aparato, con más fotos del interior (las más interesantes en esta ocasión) y otras a pie de stand. ¿Que cómo se siente en persona? Mejor que en foto, como casi siempre. El nuevo Clio (hay opiniones para todos los gustos) tiene una línea deportiva y agradable en persona. Sí, es un cinco puertas, y eso condiciona tal vez el enfoque mental que tenemos hacia él, sobre todo los más quemados que sólo queremos mirar el RS.Gallery: Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo - París 2012Continue reading Nuevas imágenes del Clio RSNuevas imágenes del Clio RS originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sat, 29 Sep 2012 08:45:00 EST.
