2011 Porsche 911

2011 Porsche 911 will appear with little change in the interior. so also in exteriornya. Early reports in some media to play anticipate this is the 911 Turbo, but the pictures you can see that the support air intakes in the front-rear roll is mendacious – and so is the titanic rear barrier someone pelt the shape smaller than the basic 911s. If you examine intimately, you can see equal the rear outgrowth lights were specious – that makes us consider there gift be whatever changes toon the finer details when the car comes to industry.

Compared with this possibility, the headlights are more vertical and cut mirrors fucking been aroused from the crossway of the pane to the side threshold. Do not eff the programme of the headlights and side lights are too musing, patently, because there is a label appendant to the dock pay lense camouflaging the apodictic illuminating.

The 911′s all new inside seems to see cues from the Panamera, especially around the cogitate structure and hummock. 5-traditional near tack is promiscuous to see along with plentitude of aluminum and a effeminate handwork.

In terms of engines, the evolution is mild, with slightly more powerful direct-injected flat-sixes. The Carrera will be powered by a 350-hp 3.4-liter unit (up 5 hp from today’s base 3.8-liter), while the S model benefits from a beefier 3.8-liter rated at 400 hp. Although Porsche has plug-in hybrid applications in the pipeline, it is still tight lipped about power, range, price, and timing. And, of course, there will be the aforementioned new seven-speed manual gearbox, which has been derived from the PDK dual-clutch automatic. We can’t wait to come to grips with its dogleg shift pattern.

Jackie Evancho brings the 'Britain's Got Talent' house down, plus a surprise winner

We said it the last time Jackie Evancho performed publicly, at Oprah Winfrey's farewell: It's hard to fathom such a big (and polished) voice coming from such a small girl.

We'll say it again after watching the 11-year-old sing on Saturday's (June 4) finale of "Britain's Got Talent": She's unbelievable.

Jackie, the runner-up on "America's Got Talent" last year, sang what's become her signature, "Nessun Dorma," on Saturday's "BGT" finale. Embedding is disabled, but you can watch her here.

The show ended with a surprise winner, as 24-year-old singer Jai McDowall beat out favorite Ronan Parke by a slim margin (2.5 percentage points). The 12-year-old Ronan was the subject of rumors this week that he'd been groomed by "BGT" creator Simon Cowell before coming on the show. Both have vehemently denied the rumors, and Cowell is exploring legal action.

Ronan probably doesn't need to worry too much about the loss, though. Finishing second seems to have worked out pretty well for Jackie Evancho

2012 BMW 1-Series Hatchback

We knew that the next generation of the BMW 1-Series was coming but we didn’t expect to see the compact hatchback making its appearance so early. These official photos along with the first details showed up on a German website called Motor Traffic, as BMW has not yet made an announcement.
Seen here in a five-door format, the new 1-Series evolves the current model’s styling with sharper and more prominent creases all around along with a much more pronounced front end that sports unusually large headlamps pushed to the far corners of the bumper literally hugging the wheel arches.
Unless you happen to own the current 1-Series, you’ll have a hard time discovering the styling differences. Upon a closer look, you may notice the larger center console with new switchgear and the new steering wheel design.
According to the leaked information, the new 1-Series rides on a 85mm (3.3-in.) longer platform that brings the total length of the car to 4,320mm (170-in.). The cargo area has increased by 30 liters, from 330 to 360 liters, while passengers should also feel more comfortable thanks to the longer platform.
Perhaps the most important news about the 2012 BMW 1-Series is the introduction of a brand new 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. The German website reported that new powerplant will be available on the 116i with an output of 136-horses and on the 118i with the same displacement but with 170-horses. Diesel options are said to include a 2.0-liter turbo diesel with 116HP, 143HP and 184HP.
The 1-Series is scheduled to premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, but we expect to hear and see more from BMW within the next few days.

Dacia Duster SUV New Hot Design

Following in the footsteps of Elia, German aftermarket specialists at Eibach and Giacuzzo Design teamed up to create a tuning package for the Dacia Duster SUV. The two companies opted for light modifications in order to stick to the basic character of the Duster and to make sure the price of the tuning package would remain affordable for the car's target group.
An expert in suspensions, Eibach fitted the car with its Pro-Kit Performance Springs, which lower the ride height by 30 mm to improve handling and provide a more aggressive stance. Giacuzzo Design then took over and fitted the Dacia with 20-inch Shark wheels made by Alutec. The rims are painted in black and white and are shod in wide Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires (245/35R20). The tuner takes great pride in the fact that the wheel-tire combination is one of the largest ever seen on the Duster. However, we're not convinced they are the right choice for this type of car, but tastes differ.
Moving on to the front end of the car, there's a bull bar made of polished stainless steel with the company claiming it's "constructed to provide optimum pedestrian protection". We can’t vouch for that, but it surely fits the car's off-road character. Similar bars are fitted to the rocket panels, while the lower part of the rear bumper has been modified to accommodate a double-end rear muffler made of polished stainless steel.

Skoda’s Hot Fabia RS 2000 Concept

Not that the Skoda Fabia RS 2000 Conceptneeded any help to draw the attention of automotive fans at the Wörthersee show, but the Volkswagen Group was t enough to bring some very pretty faces (and bodies…) to the Czech firm’s stand. You can get a better look at the car and the girls in whichever order you prefer in our high resolution photo gallery right after the jump.

For those of you still with us, we’ll remind you that the Fabia RS 2000 Concept is an open-air version of the widened-up Fabia S2000 rally car sporting the same heavily modified 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine driving all four wheels.
If you managed to keep your eyes of the girls, you may have noticed some of the changes Skoda made to the exterior including the side windows, the bespoke cover behind the rear headrests and the black boot lid spoiler.
The concept’s interior was crafted after the normal Fabia RS (vRS in the UK) and features a set of bucket sports seats up front and more carbon fiber accents than a NASA parts cupboard.

Mazda`s Next-Gen Rotary-Powered RX-9

Accοrding tο a report frοm Autocar, Mazda is currently working οn a successor tο the οld RX-7 and the current RX-8. Believed tο carry the RX-9 nameplate, the next-gen sports car is tipped tο ditch the innovative but clumsy quasi-fοur-door layοut οf the current RX-8, and that the platform is tο be spun οff from the MX-5 rοadster. But what yοu really want tο know about is the engine.

Dubbed the 16X prοject, the new Renesis rοtary engine is expected to grοw in size considerably οver the RX-8′s and pack arοund 300 horsepower – quite a bit mοre than the 232 hp we enjοy in the current car.
Mazda is also said tο be hard at wοrk keeping the engine as clean and efficient as possible, as the current RX-8′s high fuel and οil consumptiοn have driven it out οf certain markets already. The Japanese automaker cοuld alternatively turn the RX-9 project strictly intο a hydrogen halο vehicle, which might be nice if yοu happen tο live near a hydrogen pipeline, less sο for the rest οf us.

Ford’s Smallest Production Engine Ever

It took the Ford Motor Company a very long time to jump aboard the turbocharged engine bandwagon for mainstream, non-sport models, but now the Detroit automaker is going full speed ahead with the presentation of a full range of force-fed gasoline powerplants. Ford latest offering is a new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, the company’s first three-cylinder unit and its smallest production engine ever.
Designed by the engineering team at Ford’s Dunton Technical Centre in the U.K., the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine promises to deliver performance of a larger four-cylinder unit with even higher fuel economy. It employs all EcoBoost technologies, such as turbocharging, direct injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT).
The Detroit automaker is not yet ready to talk numbers, but Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president of Global Product Development, said the new three-cylinder unit “will deliver horsepower and torque outputs equivalent to or better than most normally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline engines”.
The new engine, which was first seen in the Ford Start concept mini at the Beijing Show in 2010, and more recently in the Ford B-MAX study at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, will be launched globally in Ford’s small cars and will be available in North America.
“Consumers are telling us they want to buy affordable vehicles that get many more miles per gallon,” said Kuzak. “Our new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will give consumers looking for hybrid-like fuel economy a new, more affordable choice.”
While Ford did not specify which models will get the tiny EcoBoost engine, it is believed that the Ka and the Fiesta will be among the first Ford models to be equipped with the petrol unit.
The company said full technical and application information for the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will be released in September at the 2011 edition of the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.
