hyundai type R


SHAH ALAM: Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd expects to sell 60 units annually of each of its newly launched Civic Type R and Civic Hybrid in the local market, managing director and chief executive officer Atsushi Fujimoto said.
“The availability of these models is limited in Malaysia due to import restrictions. They are very popular worldwide, so there are only limited units,” he said after the launch yesterday.
Fujimoto said there was currently a three-month waiting period for both new models.
“With the introduction of these new models, Malaysia has the same line-up of the 8th generation Civic as Japan. Malaysia is also the only country in Asia outside Japan where the Civic Type R is being offered,” he added.
To date, Honda Malaysia has sold more than 13,000 of its 8th generation Honda Civic cars since the launch in March last year.

Honda R&D Co Ltd chief engineer (Civic) Kaname Tokita said the Civic Type R was designed to provide customers with one complete package, including speed, control and precision.
While the Civic Type R pushes for performance, the Civic Hybrid was built as a green vehicle that is gentle on the environment and yet offers an aesthetic design and driving pleasure.
“The new Honda Hybrid is more compact, low on emission and gives about 20% more system output while improving fuel economy,” Tokita said.
The Civic Type R is priced at RM199,800 and Civic Hybrid, RM162,800.
To a question, Fujimoto said Honda Malaysia introduced the Civic Type R locally in response to its customer research, which showed that the model had a large following here, and also the number of requests from its customers for the car.
He said the company also hoped to get some incentives from the government for introducing the Civic Hybrid to promote greater usage of imported vehicles that were fuel-efficient and low on emission.

FORD


We have heard the confirmation of a Ford Focus RS model, and we have seen the teaser pics floating around. But we have the information that we have anything physical to go, a tire thread, a wheel, what? Nope. We have this photograph. Plus the teaser image, which have already been published.
London Motor Show in July is the place to be if you want to check the details. Of course, some time before then WCF would have delivered technical specifications, as usual. But now we are on crumbs thrown down insiders from the engineering “at the table, primarily the Ford Focus RS will not 4WD, but front-wheel-drive. That alone is probably enough to make it a Mazda3 MPS rivals more than a Subaru STI enemy. But wait, there’s more. Looks like we are coming to less than 300 hp - 280 hp speculated on this one, it is certainly much, but also places STI 300 horses on the back, with an additional 8 Horses just in case.
Read more(foto)!!!
FWD course useful, up to about 320 hp, where 4WD can be used. Otherwise, you can contact rear engines. We hope for 4WD and magical 300-plus horses from the 2.5-litre turbo, and there is still time to make the necessary changes before the RS on the market.

chevrolate



Essentially a European-market Opel Vectra sedan with Chevrolet badges, the Chevrolet Vectra is related, but not identical, to the Saturn Aura. The Vectra as seen here is sold in Mexico and Chile; Brazil also has a Vectra sedan but it's a unique car based on the Astra.

COROLLA



Competes with: Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus
Looks like: A baby Camry
Drivetrain: 132-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder or 158-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder
Hits dealerships: February 2008
The Toyota Corolla is arguably Toyota's second-most-important model, and it took a long time for a new version to get here. The look certainly mimics the current-generation Camry, with an angled grille and sharp headlights. The exterior may not be radical, but Toyota rarely dares too much, especially in mainstream cars. That's why it has Scion, after all.Inside gets a nice new look — everything seems clean, simple and well-laid-out, hopefully with improved materials.Power for Standard, LE, XLE and S trims is rated at 132 horsepower from a revised version of the previous four-cylinder engine, with mileage figures of 27/35 mpg city/highway. There aren't any specifics on mileage with the different transmission choices yet. The outgoing Corolla gets 28/37 mpg using new 2008 EPA testing. A performance XRS trim level will reappear for 2009 with the same 158-hp four-cylinder found in the Scion tC and xB. It gets 22/30 mpg in this application and is mated to either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic.We'd expect prices to stay close to the $14,405-$15,615 starting prices of the 2007s, as has been the trend for other recently redesigned models.

evolution


That’s the tenth iteration of the Mitsubishi Evo you’re looking at there - and I’m going to be one of the first people in the North-East of England to test it. I’m, as you can understand, extremely excited. What’s all the fuss about? Well this is a car that’s actually faster than a lot of Lamborghinis and Ferarris, especially when it comes to making the thing turn. It is super trick and super quick.
A Quick History LessonMitsubishi Motors is the sixth largest Japanese car manufacturer, with a long history dating back to 1917. The motor sport section of the brand debuted back in 1962, with a Mitsubishi 500 Super DeLuxe. It won various accolades and moved into WRC (World Rally Championship).
During the 1980’s Mitsubishi launched the Lancer EX2000 Turbo, which it scored extremely well with. The company went on to have a very successful partnership with Tommi Makinen, resulting in four years of consecutive firsts (1996-1999) in WRC. Thus, the legend of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was born. It is a car with a true racing heritage and pedigree.
Why The Car Is PopularSome time ago, Mitsubishi homologated (registered for production for racing) the Evo. What this meant was that apart from the bodywork, the engine had to meet a certain spec. Thus, the 2.0 litre was the maximum size allowed but to gain greater power, a huge turbocharger was fitted. This was matched with a clever four-wheel drive system to glue the car to the road and ensure maximum grip. As mentioned in the last paragraph, the car stems from rallying. This road car, much like the Subaru Impreza WRX, isn’t too different from what you’d find tearing around Finland.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XThe car is primarily known for speed - primarily in the delivery of huge amounts of acceleration. People who buy the cars are enthusiasts at best and nutters at worst. The new version is no exception. It is very evidently much more aggressive (just look at those intakes, the rear end downforce-creating spoiler and diffuser, plus the huge wheels).
The bodywork and paint are both nicely put together, and the overall image is of a purposeful and squat car ready to storm off. Interior wise, unfortunately there are still hard (cheap looking) plastics - something I’ve seen on both American and Asian cars but something that I’m also still not fond of. Then again, it is still by far and away the classiest interior that an Evo has had yet.
The equipment includes Xenon headlights, your Recaro (sports) seats, Bluetooth and MP3 stereo. Unfortunately, it costs more for the sat nav and the hard drive to store your CD’s on. Inside is comfortable and space is good, though the bulkhead and the battery inside for weight distribution take the boot up somewhat.
PerformanceThe Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is a car to be driven. Whether you get the FQ300, 330 or 360, you’ll be amazed at the dizzying performance. Even with the ‘basic’ FQ300, you’ll still see it burning up the road, moving from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. More than frantic I’m sure you’ll agree.
This is a car with more acronyms than you can possibly guess at. The six speed auto gearbox will help to propel you along, whilst the Super-All-Wheel-Control should mean that you never have too much of a worry. Frankly, if you have managed to break grip in this car you’ve probably done something incredibly stupid. The technology means that this is a car that really is made to be driven and driven hard at that.
What Doesn’t It Do Well?Apart from the interior as mentioned, the real problem with the Mitsubishi is that it remains very much the same. It is an incredible performance saloon that will be quicker than (in any guise) almost any car on the road today. It doesn’t matter which car pulls up at the lights with you - you’ll be able to storm away faster. You’ll also be crying about the fact that you’ll get about 18mpg. If that isn’t what you’re looking for then I guess you should really look elsewhere. Beyond that, there’s not much too much to fault it really.ConclusionTo put it bluntly, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is a car with a purpose. That purpose is to provide an entertaining and engaging drive capable of extremely high-speed acceleration. You’ll be able to take it on track days and not have to worry about being shown up - even average drivers will perform rather spectacularly. On the other hand, if you baulked at the price, don’t even consider getting one. The service charges and fuel economy will make you cry. For the rest of you though who like your cars - this is one to really go for with all the passion it will provide.

Citroen slightly updates the Citroen C3 Pluriel range, which is a four-seat cabriolet. The changes of the new model are very light and abroad are: changing the headlights, grille and the pilots, which is larger. There are also new colors for the body. Citroen launched the first multi-C3 in the spring of 2003.Citroen C3 PlurielThe Citroen C3 Pluriel is available with two petrol engines and one diesel. The petrol is a 1.4 liter 73-hp (associated with a five-speed manual shift), and 1.6 to 109 hp, linked to an automatic five-speed 'SensoDrive "(This change has the possibility of selecting gears from some levers behind the steering wheel). The Diesel is a 68-hp 1.4 HDI (although Citroen calls' HDI 70 'to this versionCitroen C3 PlurielThe price ranges from € 15,030 to € 16,310. The Citroen C3 Pluriel in its basic version is the least expensive convertible. Those who continue to price in the Citroen C3 Pluriel are the Opel Tigra (from € 15,500) and Nissan Micra C + C (from € 16,600) and the Peugeot 207 CC (from € 16,610)Citroen C3 PlurielThe Citroen C3 Pluriel has the advantage that it has two rear seats larger than any other convertible of similar size. The biggest drawback is that when the roof was completely disassembled, it can not be carried inside the Citroen C3 Pluriel. If it rains we must park the Citroen C3 Pluriel under a roof or placed over a canvas with which you can not drive.Citroen C3 PlurielThe roof of the Citroen C3 Pluriel, and how to move from a closed car cabriolet, is unique. The roof consists of two longitudinal arches, a sheet of canvas (which may be collected through a cable remote control), and a lunette glass that can disengage.Citroen C3 PlurielThe only thing that can be done easily is folding canvas roof (type'2 CV). This hood of textile material is removed by an electric motor powered by a knob on the dashboard. Also, you might put up in seven different intermediate positions.Citroen C3 PlurielWhen the canvas roof is completely folded on the rear glass (in the form of "bellows"), you can disassemble both and put the trunk. The boot, which under normal circumstances is 267 liters (a normal Citroen C3 Pluriel is 305 liters), and was reduced to 137 liters after making such a transaction.Citroen C3 PlurielTo convert into a completely Pluriel convertible, we must remove the two arches that run from the amount of the windshield to the rear of the Citroen C3 Pluriel. Each arch weighs 11.5 kg. To remove these two arches must be manually drop each of the four locks that attach to the body.Citroen C3 PlurielWithout these arches, the Citroen C3 Pluriel is converted into a true four-seat cabriolet. While the windscreen is reinforced to better protect occupants in the event of a rollover, this car has no safety arch-fixed or retractable - Behind the seats, as have other Limousines. However, Citroen says that the seats and head restraints for rear seats are reinforced.Citroen C3 PlurielThe small trunk lid is opened from top to bottom and is completely make up with its trunk and protrudes a few centimeters of the body. The backs of the folding rear seats are in equal halves and also to be aligned with the floor of the trunk. When it strikes the rear seat creates an area of cargo volume with the boot.

TOYOTA SUPRA


The Toyota Supra is one of the earlier sports cars manufactured by the Toyota Corporation. Its production started in 1993, and the latest in 1996. Since then, the production of Toyota Supra models has stopped. What hasn’t stopped, however, is the legendary appeal this model has impressed upon car enthusiasts. Until now, fans of Toyota Supra keep on popping out, asking questions of curiosity - the most eminent of which is how to tune their Toyota Supra.
Toyota Supra runs on twin turbo engines and has about 320-27 BHP, making it able to run as fast as 220 MPH. For a sports car, 220 MPH is a tolerable speed rate. However, if you expect to pit your Supra against other recent and faster sports cars in the race track, then you will really need to subject your car to some fine ‘ol Toyota Supra tuning.There are a variety of ways by which you can tune your Toyota Supra. These include re-mapping your ECU, and to stretch the limit, submit your car to a full engine upgrade. You can also install turbo chargers and other efficient components. Replacing your tires is also an upgrade you might want to do, though some Supra owners don’t realize the importance of such at first.Your least bet in Toyota Supra tuning is $200,000. This will go a far way, if you want to tune your car through the mentioned ways. The first, most important step before you tune your Supra all-out, though, is to change replace your tires with soft, compound tires. This way, the friction and force problem Toyota Supra models are often known for will be solved. Also, when re-mapping the ECU, make sure that you know precisely the know-how of doing such. If not, then Car Tuning Central will be most happy to help you.

There’s been a story making the rounds today about a Japanese car that can run on 100-percent water for fuel. Now since April Fools day has passed, so one has to wonder what is the purpose of this hoax?
There have been many claims before about cars that run on 100-percent water and nothing else. But, this is the most recent one that has picked up some credibility with the news media.
What makes this Japanese water car sound fishier than sushi is the claim that you fill it with water and somehow magically it creates electricity to power the electric motors of the vehicle. Most other 100-percent water car claims center around the use of an internal combustion engine.
For this to be a reality right now, the Genepax water car must have a bank of batteries or even ultracapacitors the size of the car itself to generate that much electricity to split the water to once again generate electricity to run the car. This defies logic in my book.
According to Reuters the claim is, “Once the water is poured into the tank at the back of the car, a generator breaks it down and uses it to create electrical power, TV Tokyo said.”
So, what magic generator is this? Why the flux capacitor of course.

range rover


Last year, I was noticing the increasing number of white SUVs on the streets of the world. Well, this is still true, but the white SUVs are now a common image so, they started to, you guessed it right, pimp them.
So, here are 2 Range Rovers and one Porsche Cayenne that will really make you turn and look:
First, this is the Range Rover Sport to make you fly: Range Rover Sport Arden Pegasus. With the wing doors (or lambodoors) set, you might feel like flying at some point (who the heck thought 20 years ago you would see this kind of doors on a truck?)Second, another Range Rover, this time from Hamman: Conqueror is a fit name for a car that will take you almost anywhere you want to go and you will feel like doing it in style (just look at those huge wheels).Finally, the sporter car of all, the Porsche Cayenne TechArt Magnum. Seen from the front, you almost feel like it wants to bite (though you’ll probably won’t have the chance to see too much of that front when it passes by you So, white SUVs are now mainstream (as mainstream as an SUV may be, after all it is not a Renault Clio or a Peugeot 206), but you can still be unique (ar almost unique). The only thing you really need is money.

The stunning Sienna Black 2007 E350 sedan appointed with luxurious Sahara Beige interior and Black Birdseye Maple Wood Trim makes its debut this fall at Mercedes-Benz dealerships nationwide to help raise funds for women’s cancer research. This bold beauty offers auto enthusiasts superior design combined with unparalleled performance as well as the chance to make a difference in the fight against cancer. For the fourth consecutive year, Mercedes-Benz will donate $1 million through the sales of a special edition vehicle to help support Saks Fifth Avenue’s KEY TO THE CURE. This year, only 1,000 exclusively appointed Special Edition E350 sedans will be offered. Developed in partnership with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) and its Women’s Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), KEY TO THE CURE is a national women’s cancer initiative dedicated to finding new detection methods, treatments and cures for women’s cancers.
“We've produced this special-edition of our most popular model to help combat one of the biggest threats to women’s health in this country and help bring women’s cancer treatment options and prevention one step closer,” said Carol Goll, General Manager, Brand Experience Marketing, Mercedes-Benz USA. “Mercedes’ partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue and EIF offers us a unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a cause that affects us all.”
A star in its class, the Special Edition E350 is powered by a new-generation 3.5-liter V6 engine, one of the most powerful engines for its size, producing 268-horsepower and reaching 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The sedan features the world’s first seven-speed automatic transmission, lowered, independent multilink Sport Suspension and 18” 5-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels. It also features sport extras like AMG-design front air dam with mesh air intakes, AMG-design rear bumper, dual, exposed stainless steel exhausts and a leather-trimmed Sport Steering wheel – not to mention additions like DVD navigation, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and Bi-Xenon Headlamps with Active Curve Illumination System. The Special Edition E350 sedan will be available at Mercedes-Benz dealerships in October.
Funds raised for KEY TO THE CURE will benefit multiple organizations and programs including: EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, the Cleveland Clinic, Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Nevada Cancer Institute, among others. During Saks Fifth Avenue’s KEY TO THE CURE nationwide shopping weekend (Oct. 12-15, 2006), the Special Edition E-Class will be displayed at Saks Fifth Avenue stores. A percentage of Saks’ shopping weekend sales will be donated to national and local breast and women’s reproductive cancer research centers, benefiting more than 50 charitable programs. Since joining the KEY TO THE CURE campaign four years ago, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) has donated over $3 million towards women’s cancer research.
The 2006 celebrity ambassador for the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, actress Glenn Close, has also joined the KEY TO THE CURE campaign. Ms. Close will appear in a national public service announcement (PSA) wearing a limited edition T-shirt specially designed by Oscar de la Renta, exclusively to benefit Saks Fifth Avenue’s KEY TO THE CURE. The PSA will appear in major fashion and lifestyle magazines this fall.
In addition to its commitment to Saks Fifth Avenue’s KEY TO THE CURE campaign, MBUSA supports select charitable organizations focused on educating and empowering future generations, particularly those who are underserved. Through DRIVE YOUR FUTURE: The Mercedes-Benz USA Scholarship Program, MBUSA and its dealers nationwide will provide $1.5 million in scholarship awards this year, offering students who are the first generation in their families to attend college, the opportunity of a lifetime.

land rover


Land Rovers have always been an acquired taste - you either love them or hate them, odd then it seems that their latest concept dubbed the Land Rover LRX, appears to be one of the most stunning sports SUVs ever conceived.The LRX is described as a cross-coupe - smaller than a Freelander 2, it combines the benefits of a 4×4 with the luxury and presence of a much larger vehicle.
Pushing the wheels out to the four corners helps give the car its purposeful stance, and its front-end design makes a powerful and instantly recognisable statement of Land Rover’s identity.There are new interpretations of Land Rover’s traditional clamshell bonnet, distinctive headlamps, tapering blade indicator clusters front and rear, and subtle side vents. The LRX’s wheel arches are wide but softly integrated, housing 20-inch alloy wheels.Land Rover holds no secret that the LRX concept is on-road biased, with its more car-like appearance and dynamics underlined by excellent agility, handling and performance.However it can also hold its own off-road with full-time four-wheel drive and Hill Descent Control, as well as a special version of Land Rover’s acclaimed Terrain Response system, to optimise traction on difficult surfaces ranging from icy roads to wet grass, gravel and snow. But to reflect LRX’s more on-road bias, Terrain Response also gains a new “Eco” mode for lower emission urban driving.The interior features a combination of soft leathers in rich tan and dark chocolate, with polished aluminium details. The electronic display uses “floating” LCD graphics to create a three-dimensional look that can be personalised for different drivers, as well as interacting with the LRX’s touch-screen display.
The instrument graphics present data in layers depending on their level of importance, to give maximum relevant information with minimum distraction. The illumination colour also changes between green, red and blue for economy, sports and standard drive modes respectively.Sustainability has also been a major factor in the LRX’s conception, with vegetable-tanned leather (chromium-free, so better for recycling), extensive use of aluminium (both lightweight and readily recyclable), carpeting made of felt from sustainable sources, and the luxurious vanilla-coloured “fine suede” on the door inserts and headliner is a 100 per cent recycled material made from used plastic bottles.So far there has been no word on what is actually powering this stunning concept, but with sustainable development playing a major role in its design you can almost be guaranteed some variation of petrol-electric hybrid or diesel would be on the cards.

“Barrett-Jackson is an ideal venue to launch and sell Ford’s premier models,” said Robert Parker, Ford car marketing manager. “It’s the ultimate platform for selling the world’s most remarkable cars, and we’ve created a unique GT500KR just for the occasion.”
Barrett-Jackson will feature an unprecedented stable of muscle cars, led by a vintage Mustang from each year in which performance legend Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company produced the street-ripping 1960s classics. The highlight of the crop will be Mr. Shelby’s personal 1969 GT500 convertible, followed by a pristine 1967 GT500 originally gifted by Carroll to his son, Mike Shelby.
Muscle car enthusiasts are sure to tune in on SPEED TV this Saturday to watch Ford continue to lead the muscle car wars.
Shelby GT500KR with Glass Roof
The 540-horsepower Shelby GT500KR on the block at Barrett-Jackson is a unique rendition of the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever. Shelby GT500KR production began in Las Vegas on Jan. 11, Carroll Shelby’s 85th birthday. The one-of-one ebony black GT500KR up for auction will feature the same full glass roof that is being offered as an option on the 2009 V-6 Mustang and Mustang GT models only.
The glass roof provides a third roof option for customers and responds to their growing desire for more natural light. The glass is tinted, which reduces both infrared rays and vehicle cool down time by 50 percent. Production of large sunroofs has increased nearly 200 percent in North America since 2003, according to Just-autos.com.
While the Shelby GT500KR coupe features racing stripes over the roof, the unique glass roof on the auction model features stripes etched directly into the glass.
“Barrett-Jackson will be a rare opportunity for one lucky bidder to own a Shelby GT500KR with a glass roof, a car no one else can even buy,” said Carroll Shelby. “It’s been too long, but I’m very excited to have the ‘King of the Road’ back.”
“Only Ford Motor Company and Shelby American have sold more genuine Ford-powered Shelby vehicles than the Barrett-Jackson auction over the past 36 years,” said Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. “I'm proud that Ford and Carroll Shelby chose to sell a one-of-a-kind 2008 Shelby GT500KR coupe at our auction, where only the finest, authentic Shelby vehicles are offered to the public.”
Patrick Dempsey’s Ford Mustang FR500C on the Block Saturday
In another exciting development, Ford Racing and Patrick Dempsey, the star of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” also will auction the actor’s No. 156 2005 Ford Mustang FR500C.
Dempsey drove the car in the 2007 Grand-Am KONI Challenge series for Hyper Sport Racing, a team he co-owns. Since its debut in 2005, the Mustang FR500C has earned seven poles, 10 wins, 92 top ten finishes and 25 podium appearances. Featuring a Ford Racing 5.0-liter Cammer R50 engine, it continues to be the road racing car of choice.
Dempsey will be on stage as bidders vie for this unique race Mustang. The winning bidder also will also receive a helmet, gloves, shoes, hero card and DVD box set of the third season of “Grey’s Anatomy” signed by Dempsey. In addition, the winner will enjoy a track day with Hyper Sport Racing and a day for two at the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT.
Ford Exhibit Celebrates Speed
Building on a valued partnership, Ford plans to remain a key automotive sponsor of The Barrett-Jackson Auction series as a third venue is added in Las Vegas this October. As part of this sponsorship, Ford will bring interactive elements to Barrett-Jackson, including a drifting track, racing simulators and a dyno-simulated drag racing display.
This year, Ford will add a life-size Mustang collector’s display which showcases a ‘Steed for Every Need,’ along with a new “Built Ford Tough” tent that houses Ford’s feature vehicles. Consumers also can look forward to a few surprises. “We have found that experiential elements allow us to create a lot of memories for our current and future customers,” said Parker.
Ford, Barrett-Jackson and Shelby: $1.7 Million Raised for Charity
During the past three years, Ford and Carroll Shelby have raised more than $1.7 million dollars for charity. Last year, the first 2007 Shelby GT Mustang was auctioned off at a winning big of $600,000. In 2006, an early production 2007 Shelby GT500 also sold for $600,000.

BMW


You waited years for it kids, and here it almost is. It's not the new V8-powered BMW M3, it's the V8-powered BMW M3 Concept. That means it's just teasing the crap out of you, isn't it? BMW's own World Touring Car champ, Andy Priaulx drove it out from the wings, revving the M3 for the rafters. Shite. All that talk about BMW neutering its V8 was unfounded. To save weight, it's got a carbon fiber roof and aluminum hood, along with 19" light alloys. Yeah, we were surprised at the hots on this one. Expect the production model to appear later this year in Frankfurt. Now, make way for the Audi RS4 shootout. – Mike Spinelli
