The new CrossFox will be launched in the coming days in land Brazilian; we already have the images that will be lid at the December issue of the journals of the neighboring country as Cart or AutoEsporte.
All the maps of concessional VW that these looking at one place.
With a design less radical, not as adventurous as before, the new CrossFox won in details more refined.
Without a doubt shows a trend. With an appearance cleaner, which was made to reduce the costs to the time to repair something? Its interior was done very similar to the interior of the New Fox, more sober and with more quality to the finish. (more…)

Interior of Ferrari 459 Italy

Each time lack less in order to see live the new Ferrari 458 Italy in Frankfurt, where it will be presented in society, it is also expected a simultaneous presentation in the factory of Cavallino, but before this Ferrari has returned to facilitate new pictures and data.
The Ferrari 458 Italy is a car totally new, has nothing to do with the current F430 which if it was based on the 360 Modena, the 458 is new from all points, engine, aerodynamics, behavior, instrumentation, ergonomics….
Its V8 engine of 4.5 liters and 570 horsepower is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 in just 3.4 seconds, with a speed of more than the 320km/h, and all this maintaining some consumption lower than its predecessor with “worst figures”
The interior as we can see is totally new, nothing to do with his brothers. The main buttons now are grouped all on the steering wheel, and the secondary to each side of the same, thus not saturate the center console that is so, see the Porsche Panamera. Another big change is the table, in which the detailed information and to a size more than acceptable makes a driver can enjoy driving with greater comfort and security.
The Center of Design of Ferrari along with the engineers of the mark has worked together on the positioning of the main buttons on the steering wheel. The 458 lacks command to activate lights, intermittent and windscreen which now is accessed through buttons on the steering wheel. The button to adjust the suspension is located next to the button to boot, which is very easy to reach sliding your left hand by the steering wheel. (more…)

The Audi Ur-Quattro

It is not sure that the house of the Rings is launching a renewed version of its impressive and classic Audi Quattro, however are not little data and rumors that have begun to move by the various internet sites and as if it were recently also have been appearing some interesting recreation
If that Audi launched the Audi Ur-Quattro (of this model we are talking about) surely will do so on the basis of Audi A5, only that, thanks to some changes in particular that materials, will be a sharp reduction in the weight of general auto.
For example is saying that would be used polycarbonate, aluminum in several sectors of the bodywork and all that would apply on a much improved aerodynamic.
In the last time, many brands have been those that have been encouraged to return to the life mythical models and in this Audi do not seem to be the exception. It is recalled that the Audi Quattro took over the years ’80 wide acceptance among the young audience fundamentally and that is a good argument for respect as it is believed that will make the German house in the future.
The renders photos that we’re showing them in this note does not seem to be nothing wrong and if we would go ahead with los faroles! To make it a reality…
Another rumor says that if this draft Audi had come to realize could be leading below its hood an engine very similar (but the same) that the Audi TT-RS, although, as has already been that are rumors and only rumors. Hopefully, in some more time what we see in the streets of the world.
