2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe has been launched by Cadillac Manufature , the last and most dramatic series of brand new models to reach production. Arriving in dealerships in August 2010 Cadillac CTS Coupe is a new luxury sports coupe designed in the middle of the line-up for the review of the brand.

Don Butler, Vice President – Cadillac Marketing said “CTS Coupe is the new focal point of Cadillac, expressing both our design and technical capabilities,”  and “It is intended to appeal to a new generation of car enthusiasts.”

 

The CTS Coupe emerged as a proposal inside Cadillac’s dedicated design studio, where designers develop and evolve the brand’s Art and Science design philosophy. It is powered by a 3.6L direct injected V-6 rated at 304 horsepower (227 kW). The high-performance CTS-V Coupe receives the same, 556-horsepower (415 kW) 6.2L supercharged V-8 found in the landmark CTS-V Sport Sedan.

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe supercharged V8 that makes 556 horsepower. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. It’s under $65,000. Not only that, but the larger cojones found on the V sedan are translated into the coupe’s styling, making for a car that’s at once audacious and vicious, with a beating heart of total lunacy.

Overall exterior Cadillac CTS-V dimensions are exactly the same as the base coupe, but the V-specific styling cues, namely the bulgier hood, sharper front grille, larger fog-light surrounds and the exposed dual pipes of the exhaust, define the strong character lines and overall shape.

the new generation Camaro from General Motors has done a very good impression, we have recently seen the new 2010 Camaro Coupe giving life to the Autobot Bumblebee in the film Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, part of GM’s advertising strategy. However, their economic situation has led her to take two additional versions, the Camaro Convertible and Z28 high-performance variant.In the case of the Camaro Convertible, a few weeks ago I told you it was confirmed for release in 2011, and regarding the Camaro Z8, the group of fans Camaro5 have information that the project remains on the table Z28 GM and could be also released in 2011.

It would be a year and perhaps double recovery debut for GM, the Z28 come in the spring of 2011, shortly after the Convertible, whose ideal scenario release might be in Detroit. Some of the details can be elucidated from the Z28 is that it will have more power than the SS, a special treatment to the hood and grill, and decorative graphics Z28.

Reports say the Camaro Z28 that the design is complete, but the project has not been able to advance because of low sales expectations for the high unit cost. As for motor plans, had thought about the LSA V8 based on the Cadillac CTS-V, with 556cv (414kW) and a 0-100k / h less than 4 seconds. At present only speculation, we should expect official announcements and so we know what GM’s doing with the Camaro Z28.

When the German Rudof Christian Diesel first unveiled his new prototype in 1892, he thought he had invented a cheap and reliable power engine for the masses. Even now if you ask a diesel driver to describe their engines performance the word economical will soon crop up, however the German car manufacturer Audi is now looking to challenge that perception of the diesel engine with the worlds first diesel super car, the Audi R8 V12 Tdi.

It is safe to say that the words performance and diesel are not often used together, diesel engines are renowned for their ability to produce more miles per gallon than their petrol counterparts, whilst also producing considerably more torque from much lower down the rev range. Unfortunately diesel does have its drawbacks, including leaving the driver with hands smelling of diesel after filling up at, and belching out huge clouds of black smoke when accelerating to any motorist that may be following behind.

However in 2006 Audi set out to change the public's perception of the diesel engine when it took its R10 diesel powered prototype to race in the famous Le Mans 24 hour race. The 24 hour Le Mans was a happy hunting ground for Audi who had already won the race five times previously with its petrol powered R8, and beat off stiff competition from Bentley and BMW in the process.

On its first race at Le Mans the diesel R10 was a winner, and so the belief of what a diesel engine was capable of began to shift. Audi has swiftly followed this up with further successes at Le Mans and in the American Le Mans series, and now it has launched its first diesel powered super car in the shape of the Audi R8 V12 Tdi.

The diesel Audi R8 looks almost identical to the petrol powered model especially with its LED car bulbs, however very eagle eyed spotters will notice that the carbon fibre side blades are slightly larger, which allows them to scoop larger volumes of air into the twin intercoolers. Being a diesel the R8 has an abundance of torque, over 700 lb ft, meaning you could leave this car in sixth gear all day and still be first away at the traffic light grand prix.

With all that torque available from right at the bottom of the rev range the Audi R8 diesel is no slouch hitting sixty in just over four seconds and accelerating up to 180 mph. Unfortunately like all diesels the R8's power band is very narrow and maximum revs occur at just 4500 rpm, however you can console yourself with the fact that the diesel powered R8 produces considerably less carbon dioxide than its petrol equivalent.

The making of the diesel powered Audi R8 has really pushed the performance boundaries of the diesel engine, however until Ferrari include a diesel powered car in their model range, I think its safe to say that the petrol engine still has plenty of time left.

[Detroit Auto Show 2011] 2012 Honda Civic Coupe and Sedan Concepts seem to be real, as Honda has just introduced its 9th-generation Civic Coupe and Sedan at the show. The new 2012 Civic concepts brings subtle improvements to exterior and interior from the current-generation Civic.
It is probably that the production of both the Coupe and Sedan models would be highly similar with a difference in the two- and four-door layouts.
For the four-door layout, buyers will be getting the 2011 Civic’s exterior design. Despite the sedan’s front-fascia uses a wee bit more menace compared to the current design, the carried-over grille as well as headlights are very similar.
At this moment, both 2012 Honda Civic Coupe and Sedan Concepts are only display shells; interior or engine attached have not been announced just yet. However, Honda said that the upcoming 2012 Civic range will still include a sporty “Si” performance version, with the addition of a natural-gas Civic. Aside from that, the Civic Hybrid will be featuring a lithium-ion batteries pack that will further have longer travel distance on a single charge.
That’s all we do know at this point, expect to get more details on the 2012 Honda Civic when it hits dealerships by early next year.

The all-new HF model HONDA CIVIC is the most fuel efficient of the non-hybridized Civics that will be available in the United States in 2012. Honda expects the HF, with its 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine, to earn EPA-estimated fuel economy of 41 miles per gallon on the highway. The HF will share its aerodynamics package with the returning Civic Hybrid, which manages a combined rating of 45 mpg due to its lithium-ion battery. This is the first time Honda has used a lithium-ion battery.
The car will also boast a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine and CVT transmission. It gets a larger 110-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine linked to a continuously variable transmission.
Pricing has yet to be announced on the 2012 Civic.

Honda Canada invited some auto writers to a media roundtable the other night, looking for feedback on what the consumer is thinking.

While we emphasized the demand for technology that works as simply as the iPhone and iPad (and connects to them too) as well as more clean diesel engines, the more interesting news of the night was the confirmation the 2012 Honda Civic will be unveiled this fall at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Calling the new car "beautiful" and an evolution rather than revolution like the current model, Jerry Chenkin, Executive Vice President of Honda Canada, said he had driven the new Civic and that it would "set a new standard" for interior excellence. He said the new Civic will have "better numbers" all around, but wouldn't elaborate, saying only that the same body styles currently offered would continue.

The new Civic is a year late after Honda's new president Takanobu Ito took one look at what was to be the 2011 Civic and went "yeck." Chenkin said the car would likely be in showrooms by May 2011 as a 2012 model year car. As much as we tried for more info on the Civic, it wasn't coming, even after we plied Mr. Chenkin with red wine. He did admit under torturous questioning, however, that the 2010 Honda Insight hybrid was an "unmitigated disaster" because it was lacking the quality and value usually found in a Honda. That's frank talk from a car-company executive, but he is absolutely right. When was the last time you saw an Insight?
