It is called Talisman and the French brand gives the first official photo-teaser-to the public. The sedan model is expected to be officially presented in Beijing.
Although the first official photo of the new Renault does not reveal much about the car, at least formalizes his name. In any case, it will be a luxury sedan car, which at least as the European special press mentions, it will be based on the Renault-Samsung SM7, available in the Korean market.

In the event that this rumor is true, the car will have particularly large spaces, and rich decoration-equipment, while its engines will be correspondingly large. So under the hood we will have a set 2,5 liter V6 layout with the horsepower at approx 190 horses and the 243 Nm of torque, while there will be an even bigger V6 instead 3,5 liters with the horsepower at 258 horsepower and torque at 330 Nm.

Presentation – New Fiat Punto 2012

Fiat returns after 7 about years exclusively under the name "Punto" and now, along with its addition 0,9 TwinAir engine in the range of its small model.
info: The new Fiat Punto 2012 is already available in Greece with prices from 11.500 euro (1,2 8V 69 PS 3 door).

The Punto is one of the best-selling models in Fiat's modern history, which from the 1993 until today, has scored over 8,5 million sales. In the history of the model, Fiat's decision stands out 2005 to launch its small model for the first time under a new name that no longer contained only the word 'Punto' (see. Big Point). The first major renewal of the car 2009, followed this new naming practice, although he changed her again (Evo point). And now today, Fiat decides to restore the name of its popular model – as historical as it is evolving, launching the new Punto 2012.


And with aesthetic refreshment
But apart from the name change, the new Fiat Punto 2012 it also incorporates an aesthetic renewal, which gives it a slightly more modern presence compared to the Punto Evo. The differences are therefore found in the bumpers which are now entirely painted in the color of the body, except for the front which of course has fewer black grills. The car's aluminum wheels are also of a new design, while 3 new metallic colors (Gray, red, turquoise) as well as 1 special green exclusively for TwinAir, are now added to the range.


In the foreground is the new TwinAir engine
After the 500 and Panda, the Punto 2012 will be the third Fiat model to receive their all-new twin-cylinder TwinAir engine 0,9 liter. With the help of the turbo, their motor 875 κ.εκ. will offer 85 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque, to combine good performance with low consumption and CO2 emissions. Characteristic here is that the average consumption announced by Fiat amounts to 4,2 l. of gasoline per 100 km. and CO2 emissions only reach the 98 g/km, thus exempting the car from road tax. The range of engines will be completed by gasoline engines 1,2 and 1,4 l. (8V) with 69 and 77 PS, but also with them 1,4 MultiAir of 105 and 135 horses. To the diesels, the 1,300 MultiJet II will come with 75, 85 and 95 horsepower. End, there will also be LPG and natural gas versions.


Interventions on the points for the modern interior
The interior of the Fiat Punto 2012 it follows the same main lines as that of the Punto Evo, thus remaining quite modern in design. The changes that exist mainly concern individual parts of the model and initially focus on the new upholstery of the seats with different fabric, but also more "playful" colors. Then, of better texture are some plastic parts of the interior, which raise the car's already good quality standards. The equipment, on the other hand, remains at very good levels, having in its options, among other things, a fairly sharp TomTom navigation system and the brand's panoramic sunroof.


Pleasant on the road and in good comfort
The road behavior of the new Fiat Punto 2012 it has not been differentiated in relation to that of the Punto Evo. So, the Italian model remains pleasant on the road and coupled with its relatively firm suspension setup, ensures neutrality and progressive reactions at the limit. The steering wheel, on the other hand, is light and contributes to maneuverability in the city, while the comfort from the suspension is at good levels for the category. The brakes end the car in our first driving contact abroad, they proved to have very good pedal efficiency and feel.

The new little Porsche was not "cut".

Despite reports that Porsche had frozen plans to create a new small roadster, it seems that this is finally being reversed and the result will be impressive.

A few months ago Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche had himself put the "brake" on his company's plans to invest in a new small roadster that would be placed at the base of the brand's range. Now, the top executive of the German brand confirmed that ultimately this will not be the case, since the development of the car has already begun and is continuing at a rapid pace. Of course, it is still questionable when this "more affordable" open Porsche will finally be launched, Mr. Mueller to state that this can be done soon, or maybe to 3 years or even in 6, depending on when it is deemed commercially appropriate.

New Ford Mondeo

After the new Focus, and the next generation of Ford Mondeo will be a global model, aiming to satisfy the diverse needs of a large number of buyers of the German family model.

Ford had declared it from within 2011 and parallel, he had shown it in practice, through the presence of the Frankfurt Evos prototype: The,now it's time to move on to the evolution of the design philosophy of its cars (i.e. of the famous Kinetic Design) and bring us future models with an even more dynamic and premium presence. And true to her schedule, Ford presented us with the new generation of Mondeo (or Fusion in the US) which we will see in Europe at its beginnings 2013 and which will be the first of the new models, which have been influenced by the new design philosophy.

Alongside, the new midsize Ford will be the brand's first global family, since it will be sold the same – only the name changes – in North America, in Asia and Europe.

Emphasized dynamism
More cast lines, new grille with a large grille and long narrow front lights, but also a lower roof that casts furtive glances towards the 4-door coupes, are the main features of the presence of the new Mondeo. In the back section, the raised volume and trapezoidal lights are reminiscent of the corresponding part of the current Mondeo, without, however, depriving anything of the modern quality of the car. Dimensionally, it is too early to know the exact figures of the new midsize Ford, but it is expected not to be significantly different from the current Mondeo, and maybe only the lower ceiling will make a difference. Overall though, the new Mondeo is expected to be even more dynamic and imposing than before.

Even more high-tech interior
The interior of the new Ford Mondeo may not have been officially unveiled, but it is not expected to differ from what the company showed us in the American Fusion. So at first sight, it seems that, we will see a fairly modern result that will convey the high technological background of the car. The design of the dashboard is impressive, which looks set to have two large digital displays on either side of the centrally-mounted speedometer, to display the tachometer, but also the navigation system and trip computer information. Corresponding high-tech elements are incorporated in the central console, with the large info screen dominating the Sony sound system. In the quality field, we again expect high standards for class data, while Ford refers particularly to the part of significantly improved sound insulation.

In the spotlight again are the EcoBoosts
In the new Ford Mondeo the gasoline engines of the EcoBoost series that we met in the renewed existing Mondeo, they will once again be the main protagonists of the range. With turbo and direct injection, these motors of 1,6 and 2,0 liter, they will combine very good performance and performance, with fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. Alongside, in the range there will again be diesel engines in corresponding displacements with those of gasoline engines. However, it is possible that for the first time in its history, the new Mondeo will also receive hybrid versions, so as to offer even more economy and ecology of movement. In everything,what about his American "brother"., the Fusion, there we have already seen its hybrid versions that use a gasoline engine for their movement 2,0 liters and an electric motor. The "simple" hybrid uses the energy stored in the batteries, while the other, under the name "Energi", it can also charge the batteries from an external power supply.

Audi is interested in Ducati;!

Rumors of a very big "wedding" are spreading abroad, that of Audi and Ducati. If they are verified then we are dealing with a very interesting deal.
In the context of business actions planned by the Piech family and on behalf of Audi, it seems that the strong interest of the German brand to even proceed with the acquisition of the control of Ducati's share capital is now added. The famous motorcycle company is doing quite well in terms of sales globally but its owner, the company Performance Motorcycles Spa seems to intend to sell it. In each case, potential "suitors" for Ducati are not only Audi, but both Mercedes-Benz and the Indian brand Mahindra are said to have expressed a discreet interest & Mahindra.
