More sporting range will be the next in marketed. This will happen soon, but we already have long been known all their details and now we can see it in real images with more detail.

To began with its external appearance. At a glance would be very difficult distinguish it from an Audi A1 S line with any other engine, and this includes suspension reduced, rims of 17 inches (18 inches in option), wing rear bumper, sporting or exhaust chrome.

As regards the mechanical part, there is no news especially striking. The base is the engine 1.4 IST 180 CV with double supercharger (compressor and turbo) together with the change of double clutch S-tronic 7 relations, a set already known by his cousins: Seat Ibiza Copra, Skoda Fabia RS and Volkswagen Polo GTI.
In spite of so much that is speculated for months, is confirmed that it will be front-drive, becoming the first Audi S not to become traction total Quattro.
Their benefits officers also did not yet available, but having regard to the performance of the small engine in the other models, it seems more than feasible speculate with an acceleration from 0 to 100 Km/h in a little less than 7 seconds and a maximum speed exceeding the 225 Km/h.
What is known journal is its base price: 28,360 Euros, nothing less? AND taking into account the little differentiation mechanics that there are other sport utility of VW group less noble, the difference in price seems too high (and this without resorting to the list of options). (more…)

Marketing of guerrillas, a term that coined the Anglo-Saxons and that perfectly could apply to the last campaign of Nissan 70Z in United Kingdom. In her appear three sports, the first obviously the protagonist of this story, the Nissan 70Z. On the other hand a couple of small coupes Germans, the Audi TTS and the Porsche Cayman, with a peculiarity is that in both read messages such as these: “more expensive, slower and less powerful than a Nissan 370-Z” and “I dream to be as quick as a Nissan 70Z”.

Nissan 70Z Coupe (328 HP): 5.3 seconds
Audi TTS Coupe (272 HP): 5.4 seconds
Porsche Cayman Coupe (265 HP): 5.8 seconds
BMW Z4 sDrive30i (258 HP): 5.8 seconds
In Spain a Nissan 70Z manual and basic comes costing approximately 9,000€ unless an Audi TTS Coupe (it should be noted that this is integral traction Quattro) and some 14,000€ unless a Porsche Cayman. I imagine that the decision to buy leading to someone to buy a Audi TT or a Porsche Cayman before a 70Z also will raise some aspects such as the possibility of having two rear seats (by small), design, sensations at the wheel, equipping series (and optional), previous experiences with the mark… (more…)
