Video: Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?
Filed under: Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Lincoln, LuxuryLincoln has released a new video teasing... something. In what looks to be an advertisement for more advertising, the company has worked up a clip featuring everything from a drum solo and a flying hawk to Abraham Lincoln himself. The video shows a few shots of what looks to be an MKZ and promises more news is coming on Monday. What does the company have up its sleeves? Rumors are bouncing around the web like so many ill-informed ping-pong balls, and cover everything from an alternative powertrain for the MKZ to a new two-door model - noise that is underscored by the presence of a Ford Mustang chassis lurking in the background of the video around the 27-second mark (see screen capture above). Could Lincoln be considering a rear-wheel drive luxury coupe built on the pony's bones? A move like that seems awfully unlikely, but it certainly wouldn't hurt our feelings. Either way, we'll find out more tomorrow. In the interim, check out the teaser video below for yourself.Continue reading Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what?Lincoln video teases new things to come... but what? originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:02:00 EST.

Ural Yamal Limited Edition is a two-wheel-drive motorcycle with an oar
Filed under: Motorcycle, Specialty, Russia, Design/Style As far as we're aware, there isn't another motorcycle in the world - especially one with a sidecar and two-wheel drive - that comes straight from the factory with a wooden oar. As in, for paddling. Which is why the flat-orange-painted Ural Yamal Limited Edition is so great. As printed on the handy-dandy oar:In case of emergency:If you are reading this then you have wandered out too far, and the ice didn't hold - we're very sorry. In an effort to make it back alive, you may want to follow these survival tips: Abandon all hope - it will help you focus Detach sidecar, jump in, and then paddle like heck Rescue your dog - they're better at finding their way home than you are Should you find yourself sinking, use your seat cushion as a flotation device Tongue-in-cheek, for sure. We love it. We especially appreciate the fine print below: Ural cannot be held responsible for global warming Water damage not covered under warranty This vehicle is not a boat, nor is the paddle or any part of the motorcycle intended to be used as a flotation device. Survival may depend on other factors. Your wife was right, who goes fishing in winter? Now what we've established that the Yamal comes with a paddle that isn't to be used for paddling, there's one logical question left: Where might the rider be paddling anyway? Good question: Ural says the word Yamal "means "the end of the Earth," and is "a peninsula in Russia known for being nothing short of inhospitable, barren, and perpetually frozen." It's also the name of an ice-breaker that operates in the Arctic Circle just north of Siberia. In addition to the oar, also included in the Yamal package are dual fog lights on the sidecar, weather-proofing on the bottom of the sidecar tub and the fenders. Oh, and a scary tooth decal that mimics the actual Yamal ice-breaker. See the gallery above, and scroll below for the press release.Continue reading Ural Yamal Limited Edition is a two-wheel-drive motorcycle with an oarUral Yamal Limited Edition is a two-wheel-drive motorcycle with an oar originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:58:00 EST.

El Fiat 500T llega al mercado mexicano
Filed under: Fiat, Tuning y preparaciones, Abarth, Urbanos segmento AHaz clic en la imagen para saltar a la galería Desde este mes de diciembre, los concesionarios de Fiat en México tienen un nuevo integrante de la gama 500: el 500T. Bajo esta denominación se esconde una de las versiones más equilibradas por su motor sobrealimentado y una estética algo más deportiva que en los convencionales. El 500T fue presentado hace unas semanas en Estados Unidos como alternativa más accesible a los Fiat 500 Abarth equipados con el motor MultiAir de 160 CV. En el 500T bajo el capó se encuentra el conocido 1.4 Turbo de 135 CV que también se usa en Europa. Se combina en exclusiva con un cambio manual de cinco velocidades y mantiene la posibilidad de mejorar la respuesta presionando el botón "Sport" situado en el salpicadero.Gallery: Fiat 500T (exclusivo Norteamérica)Continue reading El Fiat 500T llega al mercado mexicanoEl Fiat 500T llega al mercado mexicano originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:00:00 EST.

Report: Electric charger standardization remains question, hurdle in Europe's EV adoption
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Legislation and Policy, Europe/EU, Germany The electric vehicle charging-station standardization issue that's viewed as a major hurdle to mass EV adoption goes far beyond SAE vs. CHAdeMO, apparently. European nations are also divided about which standard the European Union should use in its effort to build out the infrastructure necessary to ease away-from-home charging of plug-in vehicles, Ward's Auto reports, citing auto industry analysts at a Brussels conference. Specifically, most European auto makers and auto suppliers are standing behind the Type-2 charging system backed primarily by Germany just as the European Commission starts an impact assessment for charging infrastructure, according to Ward's. Meanwhile, France is backing the Type-3 system, as Type-2 lacks a so-called "shutter" cover that's supposed to help prevent electrocution. The issue is a major one as automakers such as France-based Renault look to spur plug-in vehicle sales, which have been slower than expected. Meanwhile, the UK has about 1,000 charging stations, while France has about 1,300 and Germany and Spain each have almost 900. As it is, automakers from Japan are promoting a different on-board charging standard than one backed by European and US automakers. Nissan, Toyota and Mitsubishi are supporting the CHAdeMO standard, which was launched in 2010 and is used in 1,500 stations worldwide. US and European automakers like BMW, General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen are standing behind the less-established SAE Combo standard, which is being promoted as simpler since it requires just one charging port for standard- and fast-charging connections.Electric charger standardization remains question, hurdle in Europe's EV adoption originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:01:00 EST.

ETC: Shell Ultimate Enthusiast contest sends winners to Barrett-Jackson and Maranello
Filed under: Etc. The Shell V-Power Ultimate Enthusiast Contest is looking for "the most die-hard automotive enthusiast" in the land. The most important part first, being what you can win should you enter: the top three finalists will be flown to Scottsdale, Arizona as guests of Shell for a three-day VIP experience of next month's Barrett-Jackson auctions that will begin with attending the opening night gala. At that gala, the grand prize winner will be announced, and that grand poobah enthusiast gets to spend a week in Italy checking out "the country's historic sites and rich automotive history." Since that sounds like it could mean being hauled from one museum and car yard to another, let us remind you that Shell sponsors the Ferrari Formula One team. That means your Ultimate Enthusiast Week in the country shaped like a boot will mean getting a chance to use yours, driving a new Ferrari around the company's private test track. The last time Shell held the contest, the grand prize winner worked a sweat up around Maranello in a 458 Italia. Every finalist gets a year's worth of Shell V-Power gas. The particulars: you'll need to answer six questions and submit a photo illustrating why you're the Ultimate Enthusiast. Entries will be judged by Roger Penske, Barrett-Jackson impresario Craig Jackson, Car and Driver's Eddie Alterman; Road & Track's Larry Webster; Motor Trend Radio host Alan Taylor and Hot August Nights director Tony Marini. You'll find a press release below with more information, and with just a day left to enter, you won't want to waste any time telling your stories.Continue reading Shell Ultimate Enthusiast contest sends winners to Barrett-Jackson and MaranelloShell Ultimate Enthusiast contest sends winners to Barrett-Jackson and Maranello originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:03:00 EST.

España: Nuevo Mercedes Clase C "Eco Edition"
Filed under: Mercedes-Benz, Cupés, Híbridos, verdes y alternativos, Sedanes, berlinas, segmento D, Familiares Mercedes Benz España ha incorporado a la Clase C una nueva serie especial denominada "Eco Edition". Es una versión que podrá adquirirse por tiempo indeterminado y que destaca por reducir notablemente el consumo y las emisiones en relación a la variante convencional. Tomando la base del C220 CDI con 170 CV, el "Eco Edition" añade neumáticos de baja resistencia a la rodadura, llantas de aleación exclusivamente de 16 pulgadas y una dirección asistida electrohidráulica. Para evitar que el consumo se resienta, las opciones de equipamiento se han reducido y no podrán añadirse paquetes tan demandados como el AMG o llantas de mayor tamaño. El consumo medio homologado de esta versión es de 4,1 L/100 para el manual y de 4,4 L/100 para el automático, ambos con carrocería sedán. El familiar homologa 4,3 L/100 y el coupé 4,1 L/100, si bien estos dos últimos sólo están a la venta con cambio manual. Los precios no cambian en relación a los C220 CDI "convencionales".

Official: Nissan releases one-off Dark Knight Rises Juke Nismo
Filed under: Performance, Europe, Crossover, Nissan To celebrate the launch of The Dark Night Rises on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK, Nissan has created this one-off special edition of the Juke Nismo. But instead of plunking a price tag on the hotter Juke, Nissan is giving away its Nismo crossover to one lucky winner after. Interested parties can take the automaker's Thrill Test and enter for a chance to win the one-of-one Juke. The Dark Night Rises Juke builds on the sport-tuned Nismo model, packing a 197-horsepower, 1.6-lite turbocharged inline-four, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Specific enhancements for this one-off include matte black paint, a shark fin antenna (yep), aluminum bat badges on the front and rear and red accents along the body. There are a whole host of bat logos on the suede-trimmed interior, and a clever up-lighting system projects that bat logo onto the Juke's headliner, as well.Scroll down for the official release. The contest runs until the end of February, and the winner of the Dark Night Rises Nismo Juke will be announced in March.Continue reading Nissan releases one-off Dark Knight Rises Juke NismoNissan releases one-off Dark Knight Rises Juke Nismo originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 12:05:00 EST.

Report: Tunnel collapses in Japan, seven missing
Filed under: Japan, Safety The Associated Press reports a tunnel collapse between Tokyo and central Japan has left seven people missing. Rescue workers were unable to reach trapped and injured drivers on Sunday after a vehicle caught fire and filled the tunnel with smoke. Those who escaped reported hearing the voices of those still trapped by rubble calling for help, and early reports say at least three bodies have been found inside the collapsed tunnel. A spokesperson with the Fire and Disaster Management agency could not confirm those reports, however. The three-mile tunnel, about 50 miles outside of Tokyo, originally opened in 1977, but receives regular inspections to ensure safety. Central Japan Expressway Company is currently investigating why the panels gave way in the first place, and says the tunnel's roof showed no signs of failure during evaluations in September and October.Tunnel collapses in Japan, seven missing originally appeared on Autoblog on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 10:05:00 EST.

Usado, sí, pero interesante: Porsche 911 - 964 Carrera 2
Filed under: Porsche, Cupés, Deportivos, ClásicosSupongamos que te quieres dar un capricho. Tienes un presupuesto de 30.000€ para meter en un deportivo, y estabas pensando en un BRZ o un GT86, por ejemplo. Pero, ¿qué me dirías de un Porsche? Por ese dinero puedes meterte en el mundo 911 con un coche como el 964, el nueve-once vendido entre el 89 y el 94. El 964 fue la primera gran evolución del nueve-once, dejando atrás muchas de las pegas y problemas de la primera carrocería del modelo, para evolucionar tecnológicamente de una manera importante, pero conservando al mismo tiempo gran parte del ADN original del legendario modelo de Porsche. Con él se abandonó el uso de las barras de torsión como elemento elástico y se pasó a emplear muelles helicoidales. Se reforzó el monocasco de acero, que modificó sus dimensiones y ganó protección contra el óxido. Además, vio la llegada de dos protagonistas electrónicos, en la forma del ABS y de la dirección asistida. Pero la diferencia más grande de todo el asunto fue la adición del sistema de tracción total como opción, bajo el nombre de Carrera 4. Pero hoy nuestro consejo de compra se va a centrar en el Carrera 2, por una razón: es más puro y cercano a la experiencia de conducción "911", resulta más económico, y da menos problemas de fiabilidad.Gallery: Porsche 911 964Continue reading Usado, sí, pero interesante: Porsche 911 - 964 Carrera 2Usado, sí, pero interesante: Porsche 911 - 964 Carrera 2 originally appeared on Autoblog Español on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:46:00 EST.

Report: Better Place's battery-swapping Coda taxis coming to California in 2014
Filed under: Emerging Technologies, EV/Plug-in, Better Place, Coda Automotive San Francisco will get a treat of a different kind in 2014 when battery-swapping network builder Better Place starts serving a fleet of electric-powered taxis in the Bay Area, Forbes reports. Using funds from a $3 million grant from the California Energy Commission, Better Place will launch the project with four Coda Sedan EVs that will be customized by FEV to allow their batteries to be switched out in a matter of minutes. Ultimately, Better Place looks to support a fleet of 60 electric taxis between San Francisco and San Jose with six battery-swapping stations along the way. Better Place, which already serves electric taxi programs in Tokyo and Amsterdam, began its battery swapping systems in Israel and Denmark with Renault EVs. Then, word came out in October that Better Place and Coda were working together on a battery-swappable taxi program for airports, though few details emerged beyond that. In early October, Better Place replaced founder Shai Agassi with Better Place Australia chief Evan Thornley. While the company has raised about $750 million since its 2007 founding, it has also lost more than $400 million since then.Better Place's battery-swapping Coda taxis coming to California in 2014 originally appeared on Autoblog Green on Sun, 02 Dec 2012 09:18:00 EST.
