Mercedes Benz Displays Images Of The CSC
We know some time ago that Mercedes Benz is preparing a new compact sedan with sporty style, called CLC and CLA, strongly based on the style of the CLS (hence it has been nicknamed the baby CLS) and we will see a advance to the CSC model presented next week in Beijing.
The full name is Mercedes Benz Concept Concept Coupe Style (CSC) that it seems an evolution of the F800, a car presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, reason enough to look like also the new Class A.
Platform will be produced as MFA, which has become very popular among the German manufacturer’s new models, allowing accommodate different sizes or types of traction, and also save costs and fewer platforms that take place for more vehicles.
They say that this concept will have under the bonnet the same 2.0 turbo the new Class A, with 208 hp. The CLC / CLA production will be offered with a gasoline engine or diesel with similar features, plus an AMG version with a 2.0 turbo 320 hp and AWD.
Replacement Spy Shots Aston Martin DB9
Aston Martin are preparing to replace the year 2013 one of its most successful models, the DB9. That’s what we’ve seen a couple of prototype vehicles being tested on the track or street, but always well covered to leave nothing relevant in the light. This time, it was not.
This prototype was seen with little or no camouflage top, indicating that they are already in the final stages of development (when they begin to test the actual behavior of the aerodynamics on the body) As expected, the design is a smooth evolution front of the brand we have come since the mid 90′s.
The front bumper is more aggressive, combining with some focus slightly elongated and flattened (similar to the Virage) to give the front lower height profile. On the edges has a marked trim on the wheels, giving it a more muscular. It also has LED taillights and dual exhaust output.
Mclaren Also Have a Shooting Brake
According to Auto Express magazine said in McLaren have another project besides the new supercar been named as the real successor to the F1, something different to what we are accustomed.
While many screamed to the sky and cried sacrilege! to see that the new Ferrari sports, the FF, leaving the skyline coupe and took a shooting brake body type, the formula apparently found it pretty good, and that McLaren will be following the steps with their own shooting brake, as seen in the images made by the source.
This new development would be based on the current MP4-12C, and submit that as a practical alternative sports, far more economical than the FF. That if, according to the source, the extra space is used to get cargo, baggage, luggage, etc.., Because it would have two seats. As for the engine, continue with the same 3.8 V8 of 592 hp TWINTURBO, and almost the same performance through the use of carbon fiber for an extra body.
