The 5-door VW up is also coming!

In Frankfurt in September, VW showed us the whole up family!...or rather almost all of it, since the 5-door version of the mini model is still something hidden… We reveal it here.
As we have re-emphasized recently, in up! Volkswagen clearly supports a lot, since this car will help her to reactivate in the so important mini class, replacing the moderately commercially successful Fox. After the 3-door version of the model we recently had the opportunity to drive in Rome, but the original e-ups!, eco up!, cross up! and GT up! which we saw in Frankfurt in September, now our interest is on the upcoming 5-door version of the new VW. The cross up! it also had a 5-door body and gave us a first glimpse of the new model.
up! + practicality = 5 door up!
As part of the pan-European driving presentation of the 3-door up! we saw first hand that Volkswagen invested in a very interesting model, with quality, very good road behavior and economical motor. What is essentially missing from the 3-door version is of course the practicality offered by the two rear passenger doors. The 5-door version comes to fill exactly this gap, thus completing the character of a model that seems to have all the qualifications to overturn today's minis.
Seats full of "toys"
VW has not yet announced official data for the 5-door up!, the first reports speak of important practical solutions inside it, in order to differentiate it enough from the 3-door. It is therefore estimated that the 2nd row of seats will be particularly flexible, allowing different configurations of the cabin. In regards to the trunk, we remind you that the 3-door model has a luggage compartment 251 liter. If the information that wants the 5-door version to have a slightly longer wheelbase is verified, then this number will be the same or even slightly larger, thus giving up! another important advantage over its competitors.
Engines: Small and economical
Under the hood of the VW up! are located, two new ones, 3cylinder power units of one liter, 12 valves, with horsepower 60 and 75 horses, which meet the Euro emission standards 5, while both do not exceed the limit of 100 gr / km. in terms of CO2 emissions. So the average consumption does not exceed 4,2 and 4,3 lt./100 km. respectively with the help of BlueMotion Technologies. This for the case of up! means Start system&Stop, recovery of energy during braking but also tires with low rolling resistance. He will bring these motors, initially at least the new 5-door version of the German model.
End, another element of interest is the fact that the 3-door version was rated with 5 stars in passive safety from EuroNCAP. This is largely due to the fact that the car is equipped with the innovative City Emergency Braking system that operates at speeds up to 30 km/h and can even brake the vehicle completely, if the driver does not apply the brakes in time and a collision is judged to be imminent. The medal of 5 of course it can accompany the 5-door up!.
The presentation and launch of the new 5-door VW up! expected to take place around the middle of it 2012.

The flirtation with Lotus-Renault GP had started since the summer, when the 31-year-old driver got behind the wheel of the R29 and her appearance was so satisfying, that the British team decided to discuss with her about the position of tester. So, the LRGP is likely to have in its scheme for the 2012 Maria de Villota as tester.
The Spaniard is very excited about the role she is likely to have in the team and is looking forward to signing the deal.

The new face of the Renault Megane

We present, the electronically processed photos of the renewed Renault Megane, which is expected to bring some necessary mechanical changes.
After several spy photos have been released online, we present to you its most complete form, with the help of electronics. What is certain is in a relatively short period of time from the date of its first appearance, the 2008, Renault decided that it needed radical changes. This is a direct result of its mediocre commercial performance, especially in the domestic market, and especially against the newest Citroen C4 and the completely renewed one, Peugeot 308.
As can be seen from the electronically processed image, and unlike the light refreshes Peugeot has undergone, the Megane will receive in-depth aesthetic improvements. The logic of design, which will be part of the new design philosophy of the French brand, it has already been introduced to us by the renewed Renault Twingo, which will come to our country early next year. So the front bumper is bulkier, with larger air intakes, while the front lights have a more aerodynamic design and have been rounded in shape. The company's new badge that "floats" between the bumper and the new front hood makes an impression, which is intensely nervous, forming a characteristic 'U' that reaches up to the front pillars. Design that is also present in the current model, but here it completes a more dynamic set. By the way, the profile of the model, from everything,what can also be distinguished in the photo, does not change dramatically, while the taillights will continue to intrude into the rear fenders, but, probably, with dark lights, most.
Changes are also expected inside, with the first and best reputation that wants the renewed model to solve the problem of spaces in the back seat, with wheelbase changes. End, under the hood the changes are not going to be radical, but Renault is expected to solve the competition issue with the 1,200 turbo German models, placing hers as well 1,2 TCe known from Clio.
The renewed Renault Megane 3rd generation will be presented in March 2012, at the Frankfurt exhibition.

Renault - Nissan are preparing their car 2.500 euro!

The Renault-Nissan group seems to have very important plans for the immediate future, since according to information they are already working on the plans of a new model that will cost just 2.500 euro!

It is a given that the Renault-Nissan alliance still has many interesting products to offer. Among them we will see a very interesting model that is created with the aim of reaching the consumer at a low cost 2.500 euro! This initiative of the two partner companies is not new, however it has now been launched for good. The development of the car has been undertaken by Gerard Detourbet, whose team will focus on this goal from its beginnings 2012. He has provided credentials, since he was responsible for the development of many value for money models on behalf of Dacia, such as Logan and Sandero.

Soon we will know more about this new model which, however, is expected to impress only for its price and not for other things. In terms of commercial activity, Renault-Nissan's aim will be to move strongly with this car mainly in Asian markets in order to "beat" the very cheap Tata Nano. However, it is possible to see it in European markets as well.

New Opel Astra OPC

Source:http://www.autotriti.gr

Opel has released the first official photos of the new Astra OPC. The explosive small and medium of 280 of horses stands out and really captivates with its dynamism.

After the original version that Opel showed us some time ago, the Astra OPC has now been officially presented, aiming to dominate the small and medium GTI sub-segment. As it seems, Opel designers have once again done an excellent job, presenting a highly dynamic design set with a very dynamic profile which, however, does not deviate from the prescribed and accepted frameworks.

But apart from the design, the new Astra OPC also has a lot of technology, the main purpose of which is to enhance its sporty character. We are referring to the front suspension (High Performance Strut) which was designed exclusively for the OPC version but also on the electrically controlled FlexRide technology chassis. This allows the driver to choose, with the push of a button, Sport and OPC settings depending on the pace it wants to move. also, on the front axle of the new "hot" Opel model we also find a locking differential which ensures that both wheels have the maximum possible traction even in difficult road conditions. Still, interesting is the fact that the braking system of the Astra OPC has been developed by the well-known company Brembo and is clearly more strengthened than that in the simple versions of the small and medium Opel.

Engine 280 of horses – Fire and laurel….

The top and sportiest version in the range of the new Opel Astra features a 2-litre direct injection turbo engine with power 280 horsepower and torque that touches the 400 Nm. With this given, the top speed of the car reaches the 250 km / h. Soon we will know more detailed technical data about the new OPC (B.C. accelerations), which is the fastest Astra we've ever seen. We remind you that the OPC will compete with commercially important models such as the VW Golf GTI.
