Jaguar plans to manufacture 750,000 units by year 2018

When luxury car brand Jaguar was still under the wings of the Premiere Auto Group, it simmered down on its ambitious big-volume plans. But they are with Tata now and they are scaling up their volumes once more. It has yet to be made official but Jaguar is said to be planning to manufacture around 750,000 units by the end of year 2018 with the help of Land Rover as its partner. Yes, Jaguar is back to its big-volume dreams as the 750,000 units plan is about three times as much as its present production figures suggest.

The new breeds of executives of these car companies have agreed make engines that are more fuel-efficient and vehicle designs and production procedures that are more applicable to a wider range.

With these in mind, the Land Rover needs to evaluate several components of its upcoming models while Jaguar is working on revamping the XF model that comes with a corresponding wagon counterpart that will be launched in the last quarter of the year. By the year 2013, Jaguar is said to launch sports car models with lighter price tags and a family-friendly car model that will go head to head with the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes-Benz C-class range. There are also planning to launch new versions for XK and XF models by 2014.

There also word that Jaguar is brainstorming about the creation of a four-door shooting brake system that will debut along with the next-generation XF models. This plan is speculated to give the sales a boost by almost 15 percent. Nobody likes to overpay for their car insurance policy, so head over to Farmers and get a new auto insurance quote right now to start saving $$$!


McLaren coming up with new F1 supercar by 2012

McLaren will be releasing the new F1 supercar come 2012 or roughly two years earlier than its original release.

The new McLaren supercar is expected to come later this decade as the car manufacturer has its hands full setting up another company, creating the MP4-12C, and making sure they have a good network of dealers to sell their lineup.

According to insiders, the new F1 will be a revolutionary supercar which will be distinguished as such. This is the other side of the coin to its sibling the MP4-12C which receives criticisms for its unadventurous design lines.

The new McLaren F1 is being pushed by an excellent development program which could be the fastest and most efficient the car industry has seen so far.

The new F1 supercar will have a mid engine setup on its carbon fiber monocoque with a similar architecture to the MP4-12C. Despite the intention to be really radical, the car will still have traces of the F1 brood. It is also not clear if it will take the original configuration of the car where the driving seat is placed centrally.

The F1 on the works is expected to implement technologies that will put emphasis on keeping the weight of the car down.

McLaren has not released any information yet with regard to the powerplant of the F1 but I may possibly come with solutions for low emission.

Who Wouldn’t Envy GM’s EN-V Concepts?

I have to admit, the title of this post is just a little bit tongue in cheek.

The reason? Well, I have personal issues with a lot of personal mobility vehicles. And, you guessed it, GM’s new series of EN-V concepts are pretty much all personal mobility vehicles.

I see the practicality — especially here. You see, GM is working in conjunction with SAIC, their China based partner.

Shanghai, Beijing: cities that thriving could seriously benefit from vehicles like this. Sure, they are not the most aesthetically pleasing things in the world, but I’ll grant you that there are types out there who find them cooler than anything.

And for that area, they are beyond practical.

Foto do novo Honda CR-V vaza na internet

Foto do novo Honda CR-V vaza na internet

Nova geração do crossover deve receber melhorias no motor e parte mecânica



A primeira foto da quarta geração do Honda CR-V vazou na internet. Ainda em forma de conceito, o modelo 2012 deve ser apresentada em algum salão no final do ano - em Frankfurt ou Los Angeles.

A identidade do crossover foi mantida, mas as linhas estão mais esportivas. Os faróis com máscara negra têm formato espichado e as entradas de ar no para-choque e a grade com barras horizontais se destacam. A traseira esticada e o teto alto denunciam uma possível terceira fileira de bancos, o que deixaria o modelo com capacidade para sete pessoas. As lanternas também estão maiores.

Segundo informações do Autoblog, a parte mecânica deve sofrer alterações importantes. Sob o capô, o propulsor 2.4 pode ser mantido, mas esperam-se melhorias na potência. A caixa de cinco velocidades deve ser substituída por uma transmissão automática de seis marchas.

A Mercedes-Benz está planejando uma nova versão com carroceria cupê do utilitário- esportivo Classe M para rivalizar com o BMW X6, uma variante cupê do SUV X5, nos Estados Unidos.

De acordo com informações do site Auto News, o modelo, conhecido pelo código C166, poderia se chamar MLC e seria produzido na planta de Tuscaloosa, no Alabama, onde o ML já é feito.

Coreanos desenham a Ferrari do futuro

Coreanos desenham a Ferrari do futuro

Universitários enfatizaram não apenas a arquitetura e o design do carro, mas também suas funcionalidades.





A Ferrari do futuro foi desenhada por universitários coreanos. Kim Cheong Ju, Ahn Dre e Lee Sahngseok, da Hongik University, de Seoul, venceram o concurso Ferrari World Design, promovido pela escuderia. O segundo lugar ficou com um estudante da IED, de Turin, na Itália, e o terceiro lugar é da Royal College of Art (RCA), de Londres.

Sua missão era criar um supercarro com tecnologia e materiais de última geração, combinando uma arquitetura inovadora com outras funcionalidades. E foi isso que eles fizeram.

Os estudantes que ganharam a medalha de ouro criaram, inicialmente, o desenho de uma versão 2D e, com base nela, desenvolveram modelos em 3D com a ajuda do software 3D Autodesk Alias. O projeto foi feito em escala 1:4 e os detalhes de design e funcionalidades em seu interior receberam atenção especial.

Eles concorreram com estudantes de outras 50 universidades no mundo todo. De acordo com a Ferrari, todos os conceitos apresentados pelos participantes tiveram foco na redução de consumo de combustível por meio de sistemas alternativos de propulsão e motores híbridos. No design, as formas se alternaram entre traços geométricos e curvilíneos.

Os dois primeiros lugares no concurso ganharam um estágio no centro de estilo da Ferrari e prêmios em dinheiro.

kawasaki versys bikes

At Kawasaki, we know that no stretch of road has ever been ridden the same way twice. Choice of line, angle of corner approach and exit, nuance of brake and throttle, weight transfer, rhythm and timing – just some of the personal signatures of each and every ride. For enthusiasts, and particularly for Kawasaki riders, at the very heart of motorcycling lies the singular enjoyment of the ride – not merely negotiating riding conditions, but revelling in them. Like a surfer on a wave, we make each ride our own.



With the Versys we set out to create a motorcycle that would empower riders to explore fully their individual riding style and find true inspiration on all types of road, in or out of town. Riders who have experienced a wide range of riding conditions and already know plenty about how they like to ride will be very excited by what the Versys has to offer – an added dimension of ride controllability.
