2013 Volvo S60 Review Price Specification
Specification Modification Image Review Price Information 2013 volvo s60
If boxy sedans and wagons are indicative of Volvo’s past, the stylish and surprisingly sporty (in certain trims, anyway) Volvo S60 may just be the brand’s roadmap to the future. Not only is there an emphasis on design, both inside and out, but there’s also an edge to the S60 that Volvos of the past have lacked. Billed at its 2010 launch as the “naughty Volvo,” the S60 looks to satisfy those with a passion for driving as well as a passion for safety.
That it does so in a wrapper that looks as good as the S60’s sheet metal is just the icing on the cake. We’d go so far as to say that the S60 is the first Volvo you’d consider buying because of its styling, not in spite of it, and we’ll admit to being fans of the car’s gracefully flowing exterior lines. In range-topping R Design trim, the S60 even looks the part of a luxury sport sedan, which isn’t something we could say for Volvos of the past.
Safety
City Safety, Volvos system designed to lessen the severity or prevent altogether a low-speed rear-end collision with another vehicle, is standard.
Along the same lines as City Safety is the optional Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, which warns the driver of an impending rear-end collision and can automatically brake the car. Optional Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can automatically brake the car to avoid hitting a pedestrian when traveling at low speeds. Additional options include Lane Departure Warning, a blind spot monitoring system and a backup camera. Standard safety features include:

10 new Nissan models in India by 2016
CVT variants of the Micra, Sunny in the pipeline and a compact SUV too.
Japanese carmaker Nissan has revealed its future game plan for the Indian market. The company announced plans to launch around 10 new offerings here by 2016.
First up will be the Micra CVT which will come with the same petrol motor that powers the manual variant. The X-Tronic CVT gearbox will do duty instead of the five-speed manual transmission. The Micra CVT will compete with the likes of the Ritz automatic and Brio automatic.
Next in line will be a version of the Sunny equipped with the X-Tronic CVT gearbox. Expect Nissan to price the Sunny CVT below the badge-engineered Scala CVT. When launched, it is likely to compete with the likes of clutchless versions of the Vento, Rapid, Verna and the City.
The third offering from Nissan will be for the compact SUV segment. This will be Nissan’s spin on the Renault Duster. However, the new SUV (Codename: NH87) will be more than just a re-badged Duster and will have some significant sheet metal changes as well. As seen from the brand hierarchy, we can expect Nissan to price the NH87 below the Duster. It is expected to enter showrooms end of 2013.
Nissan will bring the low-cost Datsun Brand to India in 2014. Autocar India was the first to break the news about Datsun’s comeback in the June 2011 issue. For India, two Datsun hatchbacks are planned, both of which will slot below the Nissan Micra. The first model will be a Rs 4 lakh hatchback (code: K2) based on the two-generations old K11 Nissan Micra. Believed to incredibly spacious for its size, the K2 will feature an all-new ‘top hat’ and will come with a 1.0-litre petrol engine. A cheaper Rs 3 lakh model (code: I2) is also being developed to compete with the Maruti Alto.
Nissan is looking to achieve 10 percent growth by 2016 in India. To achieve this target, the company also plans to increase its on-ground presence to 300 dealers from the current 95 in the country.
Given that the current manufacturing facility of Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd (RNAIPL) at Oragadam, Chennai, has an annual capacity of 400,000 cars and is shared by both Nissan Motor Company and Renault India, it is likely that the Japanese carmaker will either ramp up capacity at the existing facility or establish a new facility to meet its target by 2016.

First Alfa Romeo 4C Promo Touts Brands Return to the U S Configurator Launches in June
Theres a lot to like about the production Alfa Romeo 4C, from its ultra-lightweight construction that uses carbon fiber components to keep the dry weight at a surprisingly low 895kg or 1,973 pounds, to its nicely crafted body, and one thing to hate: those spider eye-style headlamps that look like a bad afterthought.
Of course, it could be just us and a bunch of other gearheads we talked to and who said the same thing, so if you disagree, dont be shy to share your feelings in the comments.
Now, the reason why were coming back to the 236HP (240PS) Alfa 4C that was unwrapped earlier today at the Geneva Auto Show isnt to talk about its lights, but to tell you that the Italian brand has released the first promotion videos of the mid-engine sports car, and launched a primitive online configurator.
Alfa tells us in one of the videos that the full-spec configurator will be available in June. The one thats online now, only gives the chance to choose from two colors for the body and interior trim.
At Alfa Romeos Geneva motor show press conference, the Italian companys CEO Harald Wester confirmed the 4Cs North American premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, with first deliveries before the end of the year.
While Alfa wont reveal pricing for the United States until the LA show, Wester did say that the 4C Launch Edition shown in Geneva will be priced at €60,000 (US$78,000) in Europe where it goes on sale in September.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette c7 Review Price Engine Exterior
welcome to Neonista.blogspot.com website that provides a variety of information about the latest cars in the world. and this time we will share information about the 2014 corvette c7, the following information
As the launch of the new Corvette draws near—expect it to arrive in fall 2013—we are getting closer to definitive information on Chevy’s star-spangled sports car. Here’s the latest:
As we’ve said before, nothing so drastic as a switch to a mid-engine layout is planned for the C7. The base Vette will remain a front-engine, rear-transaxle coupe with a glass hatch (that is, until the C8 arrives, anyway). Something similar to the current car’s suspension, transverse leaf springs and all, will appear on this 2014 model. We also don’t expect any drastic dimensional changes; while mules we spotted in September appeared to have a narrower track, their bodies were donated by C6 Grand Sports, which have wider fenders and tracks than do base Corvettes. The C7 is likely to shed some mass, which would yield a better power-to-weight ratio.
In terms of its design, we’re going to go out on a limb and call it Vette-like. New headlight elements are more complex and narrower. The double-bubble roof returns, although the space between the bumps is wider, and the panel appears to be slightly flatter. Some sort of ventilation—either louvers or something like the scoop that adorns the nose of the current Z06, Grand Sport, and ZR1—will perforate the hood. Oh, and the side mirrors are less rounded than before and are a bit larger.
Among the critical design details shrouded in mystery is the final shape of the rear end, although we’re fairly confident that there will be more surface detailing on the back of the C7 than there was on the smooth, upswept tails of the C5 and C6. The quad exhaust tips, which appeared as slightly separated pairs on the C6, are now bundled together in a central row.
Expect more-significant changes under the hood. GM is investing more than $1 billion in the American plants that produce its small-block V-8, and the fifth generation of the iconic engine family will appear in the C7. Downsizing is a given for efficiency reasons, so expect a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter (possibly 6.0-liter) mill in place of the current 6.2 in the base model. (The oft-rumored twin-turbo V-6? We’re thinking C8.) The smaller engine will continue to use aluminum construction with pushrods and should make roughly the same 430 horsepower as the current 6.2; it will do so thanks in part to a higher compression ratio and direct fuel injection. The V-8 also is expected to feature cylinder deactivation, variable valve timing, and perhaps even stop-start functionality—the latter not exactly ideal for stoplight tête-à -têtes. And the Z06 and ZR1 models—with their respective larger and supercharged eights—should return.
car away from the current crop of flat surfaced and streamlined coupes.
Attention was then turned towards the business end - with the face being dominated by three main features; the wide and protruding grill, its hard-edged and prominent checks and the signature center crease which runs from bumper to bumper.
The grill in particular pays homage to the Manta Ray, whilst the cabin shares similarities with the current car for an evolutionary link. Like the C6, the headlights remain exposed with LED turn signals being incorporated on the outer edges. For a point of difference, the side vents now link into the front wheel arches, helping to enforce a visual statement.
such information from us about the 2014 corvette c7 may be useful for you. and if you want to look for your new car references, please visit this website again. thank you.

2012 Ford Territory Review Interior Exterior
Following an extensive development programme the covers have finally come off the highly anticipated new-model Ford Territory. The Australian-designed-and-developed SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) has undergone an extensive visual update inside and out. The new Territory wears a stylish suit cut from Fords kinetic design language and its bold new look makes it instantly recognisable as a member of Fords comprehensive model family.
Redesigning the multi-award-winning Ford Territory meant building on its already clean and attractive looks, the result of the first-generation Territorys original design goal: to create a vehicle that embodied the strength and power of a traditional SUV while having the prestige, agility and nimbleness of a sporting sedan. The new Ford Territory has taken this to another level.
Underpinning new Ford Territorys design was its dual personality: a sophisticated and sporty urban wagon for weekdays and a family getaway vehicle on weekends. Successfully presenting these two functional roles in an exciting visual form was the responsibility of the Ford Australia design team, headed by Chris Svensson, Design Director for Ford Asia Pacific and Africa.
"We worked hard to ensure the new Territory was an evolution of the original model and, through the use of Fords distinct design DNA, also gave a hint of the future," Svensson said. "To achieve this we applied Fords unique style philosophy: kinetic design. Kinetic design comprises several specific elements, all of which are present in the new Ford Territory. They are confident stance, dynamic lines, expressive form language, taut surfacing, bold graphics and great detailing. When you combine them they convey movement and athleticism. In other words, the vehicle looks like it is moving when standing still. The overall visual effect of kinetic design is simple: in the case of the new Ford Territory it communicates its dynamic capabilities and fun-to-drive spirit."
“The interior of the new Ford Territory is sophisticated and sporty and builds on the model’s famed functionality and comfort.”
- Scott Ferrier, Design Manager – Passenger Car Interiors
The Ford Australia design team responsible for the new Territory’s interior has worked to build on the model’s famed functionality and attractive cabin. New Territory’s five- or seven-seat flexibility, user-friendly technology and driver-oriented cockpit provide the ideal environment for today’s modern family.
Melbourne-based Scott Ferrier, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa’s Design Manager for passenger car interiors, said it was vital to maintain familiarity when developing new Territory’s interior.
“When we first designed the Territory our customers hailed the vehicle’s functionality, spaciousness, and design,” he said.
“Territory is a very successful model for Ford. We had to enhance it with respect to its many existing owners, all of whom are essential to the model’s continued success.
“Hence, there are several aspects to the new Territory’s interior that identify with the original model.
“Drivers will find the positioning of the new Territory’s controls both familiar and easy to use. The layout of the panel’s instrument cluster and central LED screen, the centre console, button controls and steering column-mounted stalk controls are stylish and logical.”
Instrument Panel (IP), Steering Wheel and All-new 8-inch Touch Screen
The new Territory’s fundamental interior architecture remains unchanged and starts with its seven-seat “theatre-style” seating layout (standard fitment on Titanium and TS, optional at extra cost on TX).
Each of the three variants – TX, TS and Titanium – receives unique cabin treatments taken from new Territory’s kinetic design DNA.
Customers will instantly feel at home with the clearly visible Ford design language obvious in the new Territory’s enhanced interior space.
Headlining the list of enhancements are the new instrument panel (IP), centre console, and four-spoke steering wheel, all of which share their design origins from the current-model FG Falcon sedan. The design of their push-button controls and elegant layout add to the interior’s up-to-date feel.
Behind the new four-spoke steering wheel, the new instrument panel’s easy-to-read gauge cluster with centrally mounted LED screen is elegant and effective. New, round air vents are located at each end of the new instrument panel. These not only enhance the look of the cabin but also provide efficient cooling and heating.
The new Territory’s Interior Command Centre (ICC) – which is located at the centre of the instrument panel – is also familiar from the FG Falcon but it arrives in the new Territory with a special addition. In an Australian Ford-first, the new Territory will be available with Ford’s advanced eight-inch colour touch screen – a technology milestone for an Australian-built Ford vehicle. This stylish and simple-to-use feature will be fitted to the Territory TS and Titanium models as standard equipment. The Territory TX will be fitted with a 5.8-inch monochromatic display screen.
This signature touch-screen feature is mounted at the top of the instrument panel’s ICC and within easy view and reach for both the driver and front passenger. The sleek-looking unit controls functions such as Territory’s audio system, telephone and climate controls.
Scott Ferrier: “The new colour touch screen is very easy to operate from both front seats and we worked hard to ensure it is suitably recessed to shield it from direct sunlight.”
At the base of the ICC and located just ahead of the transmission gear shifter is another all-new feature. A stylish tambour door conceals a deeply recessed storage bin with ample room for mobile telephones, CDs, iPods or small cameras. It also offers dedicated storage for a tissue box and has an integrated pen holder and a 12-volt accessory outlet.
This storage unit is a clever addition to Territory’s famed functionality and packaging. The roller-action tambour door has been carefully developed to provide a smooth and damped action reminiscent of those found in more expensive European cars. It has also been sculpted as part of the new Territory’s centre console, the comfortable design of which will also be familiar to Ford drivers.
The centre console now comes with recessed cup holders for better stowage and their rubber surrounds offer increased support. They are also located well clear of the handbrake and transmission shifter.
Another key aspect of the new Territory’s interior design is the structural wrap-around for the centre console and the satin spears. These emphasise strength and are one of the many kinetic design touches that match Territory’s interior with its exterior.
For some, designing a vehicle with two personalities would be considered a tough challenge. Not for Todd Willing, Ford Asia Pacific and Africas Melbourne-based chief designer responsible for the new Territorys stunning look.
"Ford Territorys credentials as the weekday family car ideal for weekend getaways are well established and it is this dual personality - one of Territorys many attractive features - that is emphasised in its new exterior design," Willing said. "The new Territory exhibits a rugged outdoors-oriented look but its contemporary design is just as at home in the city. Keeping that connection was important, as was showcasing Fords distinct design DNA - especially the styling hallmarks from the companys passenger car family."
Front
The front end of the new Ford Territory uses a modern tri-plane design. This kinetic facial layout achieves its dynamic look by combining several important elements.
Precision-design projector headlights give the new Territory an immediate attitude that is modern and polished. These are connected visually by a slim-line upper air intake grille that wears a unique wing-formed shape formed from a single bar. This sharp design element surrounds the centrally mounted Blue Oval badge. It is an entirely new design feature from the Ford Australia design team.
"By adding some definition around the Ford badge we have made it more three-dimensional and prominent without changing its size," Willing said. "It is an important feature fitted to the new Ford Territorys frontal design and one which has the potential to be adopted elsewhere."
One of new Territorys most dominating frontal features is its new centrally located main grille opening. This clipped trapezoidal air intake is an important part of Territorys kinetic styling and features an eye-catching triple open-bar design. These bars are given additional attention on the range-leading Titanium version by wearing a chrome finish for a high-jewel effect.
"Dominating the front-end design of the new Ford Territory is its striking trapezoid main grille, a design feature our global design colleagues have recognised as highly creative in forging Territory as a uniquely Australian design," Willing said.
The clipped trapezoid-shaped air intake is more than just a showpiece; its eye-catching shape is also the result of the Ford Territorys cooling needs.
Todd Willing: "The overall main grille design is tied into Territorys engine cooling airflow requirements so getting the final shape absolutely correct had as much to do with engineering as it did aesthetics."
Moving downwards, new Ford Territorys face is completed by an integrated U-form lower chin skid plate. This subtle design feature emphasises Territorys versatility as an outdoor-lifestyle vehicle. It is also a strong yet smooth design element that finishes the vehicles new frontal style.
Another first for new Ford Territory is the fitment of high-tech LED (Light-Emitting Diode) position lamps. These are fitted to the range-leading Territory Titanium and are usually found on more expensive European SUVs. They are located at the outer edges of the lower trapezoid grille and they operate as position lamps. They also constitute a signature design feature for Ford Territory Titanium. Round fog lights are fitted to the mid-range TS model.
Bonnet
Moving up to the bonnet, Willing and his team have added more surface sculpting.
"We wanted to add more muscularity to the bonnet design with a modest bulge that hints at the available power underneath," Willing said. "These details refer to the arrival of the new TDCi V6 engine and the finer sculpture treatments across both the bonnet and front of the car add to the message of a more dynamic design."
Side profile
The new Territory wears fender features, also known as guard flutes, that add to its sense of strength. This design detail also helps differentiate between each of the models in the series: TX, TS and Titanium. The chrome finish fitted to the Titanium hints at its premium status.
Willing: "The Ford Territorys doors now wear a more integrated design and we have surfaced the door cladding and lower door moulding to make it flusher. The body is given a lower look overall which is a more dynamic appearance."
The SUVs integrated roof rails carry over from the outgoing model Territory and make cross-bar mounting easy to enhance the vehicles versatility.

COLOUR AND MATERIALS DESIGN
An essential element of new Ford Territorys interior design brief was the use of more luxurious fabrics on all model variants, giving the occupant space a high level of quality, sophistication and comfort.
Emily Lai, Ford Australias Design Manager for Colours and Materials, said the new Territorys architectural-type interior finishes of satin and bright chrome were the result of customer feedback.
"Our customers made it clear they wanted to feel like they were in a car, not a truck," she said. "The new Ford Territorys cabin environment is both sporty and sophisticated and its high chrome and satin highlights are modelled on the architectural finishes found in many modern homes and businesses. Both satin and gloss finishes not only provide a high level of sophisticated elegance but link the vehicles exterior styling with the interior."
The stylish cabin design carries from the front-seat area to the middle- and third-row passengers, areas often overlooked by designers. There is no compromise with the look and feel of the materials from the front of the cabin to the rear.
The new Territory will be available in a variety of upholstery colours and finishes. For example, the no-cost optional light-coloured leather seats in the new range-leading Titanium model, Cashmere, provides a tonal environment that reflects light with the use of high-gloss and satin-metallic finishes. It adds a feeling of heightened visual comfort traditionally found in luxury cars and SUVs. The interior of the Titanium model is partly upholstered in high-grade leather and will also be available in a Shadow (black) environment. The mid-level TS model also wears a Shadow environment and will feature a colour keyed cloth-suede combination seat trim and satin-metallic finishes. The TX will be available in a Shadow environment offering a colour-harmonised cloth seat trim and technical satin finish accents. source:www.zulva.com,www.netcarshow.com

Peugeot 308 R Concept French Golf R Hunter
Besides the new Golf R will be at the IAA, the world premiere of a French competitor, which is for the time being, however, occur as a study. The 270 bhp Peugeot 308 R could, however, already attach in the near future in the wind shadow of the wolf Burgers. The concept car gets a striking painting in red and blue textured black, well the sporty add-on parts come into play.
For a long time car enthusiast want to combine sportiness with red paint. Peugeot took this as an opportunity to the 308 R Concept, which will celebrate at the IAA in Frankfurt in two weeks its world premiere, to be painted in precisely this color. However, the red color on the rear of the vehicle is combined with matte, textured blue-black, which is reminiscent of the Onyx Concept. Small details have been at the tail with red accents, such as the underside of the roof spoiler, the background of the name plate and the inside of the exhaust pipes.
As a basis, the 308 R Concept uses the five-door bodyshell of the new Peugeot 308, which will also be presented at the IAA. In contrast to the much tamer series brothers wild crafted aprons are fitted front and rear here, however. Front provide three large air intakes for the fresh air supply from the engine and brakes. From the side, the flared wheel arches, creating the space for a 30-millimeter wider track and 19-inch wheels with tires 235/35er. For a close-appearance as the fact that all the parts that differ from the normal R 308, not later screwed, but were integrated into the existing design provides. Doors, front fenders, the body-sides, hood, aprons and skirts are made of carbon fiber and thus reduce the overall weight significantly.
Under the hood, the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine may let off steam, which also comes in the new Peugeot RCZ R to use. He does here unchanged 330 Nm of torque, as well as 199 kW/270 hp and thus brings it to a specific power output of 170 hp per liter of displacement. Same time, the average fuel consumption according to the manufacturer at just 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Power transmission to the front wheels take a manual six-speed gearbox and a Torsen differential. For the delay in a brake system with 380 mm discs at the front and 330 mm rear discs is responsible.
If and when the Peugeot 308 R to go into production, yet to be confirmed officially. A good indicator should be the audience reaction at the IAA. If you are the 308 R and want to find good, you go to Frankfurt and give your opinion in the state personnel from Peugeot.

2013 Qoros 3 Estate Concept
At its global debut at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show, new automotive brand, Qoros, presents the world premiere of its first series production vehicle, an elegant compact (C-segment) car with the official international model designation, the Qoros 3 Sedan.
In addition, two concept studies provide a clear indication of the new manufacturer’s future model family expansion plans.
2013 Qoros 3 Estate Concept
2013 Qoros 3 Estate Concept
2013 Qoros 3 Estate Concept
With the brand starting from a clean-sheet, Qoros vehicles are elegantly styled and focus on quality and value, and on meeting the lifestyle needs and expectations of modern, metropolitan, ‘always-connected’ target customers in China and Europe.
The Qoros 3 Sedan, which is entering a pre-production development phase after two summers and two winters of extensive testing at key locations around the world, is due to be launched in China in the second half of 2013, with first European sales following later in the year. The launch of further Qoros models is then planned at intervals of approximately six months.
To be produced in a new assembly plant in Changshu, China, the new range of Qoros models is being designed and engineered by an international team of experienced specialists and new, young automotive talent, and has been developed with the support of internationally-renowned suppliers such as Magna Steyr, TRW, Continental, Bosch, Getrag, Benteler, Lear, Microsoft, Harman, Neusoft-Alpine and Iconmobile.
Rapid expansion of the model range will be achieved thanks to an innovative modular vehicle architecture developed in-house at Qoros. The clean, elegant styling direction – drawing heavily on contemporary European themes – has been developed to give all Qoros models an unmistakable brand identity.
Designed to offer generous space and a high-quality interior finish, Qoros models will also feature an infotainment system which is unique in the automotive field. Featuring an eight-inch capacitive touchscreen, the system was developed in-house by Qoros with displays designed for minimal driver distraction, replacing the array of switches and buttons that blight many modern car interiors. The system features an advanced navigation system, extensive social networking connectivity and the ability for drivers to monitor their car’s health and, for example, to book dealer service appointments.
Qoros aims to achieve top scores on both European and Chinese crash tests for all its models.
Founded in 2007, Qoros is an equal joint venture partnership between Chery Automobile, China’s biggest independent automotive manufacturer, and Israel Corporation, a global industrial holding company.
Qoros is headquartered in Changshu, a region of great importance to China’s rapidly expanding automotive industry, where construction of its all-new, highly-efficient and environmentally-sustainable production facility is nearing completion. “The factory has an initial annual production capacity of 150,000 units, with potential for expansion to 450,000 units,” explains Alexander Wortberg, Qoros’ Director of Production (formerly of BMW).
Qoros operates an engineering centre in Shanghai, which is also the base for many commercial and purchasing functions, with further operations in Munich (Germany) and Graz (Austria).
The Qoros 3 Estate Concept showcases a vision of a future variant with a bodystyle that is especially popular among European motorists and is geared towards the travel needs of modern families, providing generous and highly versatile interior space.
Using the same platform and distinctive clean, elegant styling of the Qoros 3 Sedan, it features a sympathetically elongated roofline and a large tailgate. The signature horizontal styling themes emphasise the long body profile and the large side windows give the five-door estate body an athletically-pleasing, stretched look.
The Qoros 3 Estate Concept features an intelligently designed interior that provides an incredibly versatile and adaptable space that allows luggage capacity to be adapted to meet the needs and lifestyles of European consumers. The rear seats fold to leave a flat load floor, and also incorporate a ski hatch.
A great deal of thought has been given to the development of a wide range of storage compartments and attachment fittings that optimise the functionality of the cabin for both everyday trips and long-distance travel.
