BMW M3 and confusedly reveals called M5 M performance editions limited in United Kingdom.



BMW is introducing two new Special Edition cars in the United Kingdom based m off the M3 Coupe and sedan M5, and gave them both the same head-scratching name: Edition m performance. Yup, allow us to introduce the issues and performance M M3 M5.

Once you've gotten past the strange name, the English that you can buy these cars m will find that both are available exclusively with "frozen" matte paint finish for BMW. Buyers can choose from the colours white and blue Frozen, while opaque red is available as a package rather than a full painting. All cars get matte-finished black wheels (19s on M3; 20s on M5) and black leather interior.



The M3 M performance also gets contrast color stitching on the seats and door panels, and is available with DCT dual-clutch seven-speed BMW standards. The list of M5 ' s special items include a backup camera, front seats, M Sport and internet connectivity. If you live in the United Kingdom and can address both Frozen paint squeamish of these cars, we suggest you hurry: BMW will build just 30 examples of each.

The moniker "M Performance" is confusing in light of BMW's plans to create a series of sub-M car using the same brand. Here in the United States, there is a package of power Performance for the 2013 M X 6, and Europe has already got a trio of tri-turbo diesel Performance M models. From BMW to name logic, that would mean that the car M3 and M5 M benefits are actually sub-M cars. Or maybe with diesel engine. But of course not — so, um, yeah.
The cars are probably the name for the Division of in-house performance of BMW, which has recently been renamed under the — you guessed it — name m services. Dizzy yet? Tags: BMW, BMW M, BMW M3, BMW M5

Ferrari Enzo successor to debut this year, confirming the Boss



Successor for the Enzo Ferrari Debuts at times this year, Luca di Montezemolo, President of the company announced at a press conference this morning. "At the end of the year, there will also be unveiling the new Enzo, a model of limited series and our first ever hybrid car," he said. This is a little bit before the premiere that we estimated 2013 when we took a prototype during recent tests. Keep in mind that just because he calls the new Enzo doesn't mean the car will actually be called the new Enzo. The name "F70" is floating like a rumor, but we cannot confirm anything yet.

Whatever the name, Enzo's successor will pack a V12 engine and was equipped with a hybrid system. (You can read more about installing hybrid, Ferrari car revealed Beijing April show, here). The combined power should top 900 HP, which is almost sufficient to feed one side of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning.

Lotus reveals the new GTC Evora race car that headed towards Rolex Sports Car Series Grand-Am



The Lotus automaker cannot be on an even at this time, but Lotus Racing seems to be chugging along fine. A hopeful sign: the outfit recently revealed its latest racing cars based on the Evora, the GTC. While the Evora GTC is not exactly new — is an evolution of the hardest core of Evora GT4 Enduro racer suit current — is damn cool-looking.



To create the GTC, Lotus Racing has started with an Evora GT4 and stripped out some 66 kilograms, replacing the panels of fiberglass doors, roof and bonnet with carbon fiber parts. Lotus also installed windows in Plexiglas, and the result is a 2500-pound weight waiflike fillet. (The most recent road car Lotus Evora S we tested weighed in at 3171 lbs.) Traction control and a Bosch anti-lock braking system were installed, as were 18 inch tyres which necessitated wider flares fender that's awesome see in the pictures. Powertrain, GT4 carries the Evora GTC, which means the same as 450 hp, 4.0-liter V-6 engine and paddle shifting sequential shift 6-speed.
Try the Evora GTC in the coming races Rolex Sports Car Series. McMahon Raceworks already has placed an order for the new car, and another team currently running an Evora GT4 will soon have its self updated status of GTC. If you want a plus 400-hp Evora for use away from the track, we suggest always on the Horn with Lotus and begging the company send the GTE road car only China here to tag of the United States: Lotus Evora, Lotus, Lotus Evora GTC |

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series Goes Monochrome, Tears It Up in New Video



What’s black, white, and loud all over? This new video from Mercedes-Benz, in which the 2012 C63 AMG Coupe Black Series gets down and boogies for the camera.

The car was shot in black and white, which adds a dose of cool—of course, a video of a Black Series snorting about in color would probably be just as entertaining, if less dramatic. That’s because the Black Series takes the already-powerful C63 AMG coupe and ups the ante with a 510-hp version of that car’s 6.2-liter V-8, a track-ready suspension, extra-wide fender flares, and less weight. Since fewer than 100 examples of the $108,575 Black Series will be shipped here—and most of those are already spoken for—this video likely is the closest you’ll get to seeing one, period. Enjoy the video below.

That’s Infotainment: 2013 Cadillac XTS Buyers Get Free iPad to Learn CUE



When the 2013 XTS hits showrooms in late May, it will be the first Cadillac product available with the marque’s new CUE (Cadillac User Experience) capacitive-touch infotainment system. To complement their purchase, Cadillac XTS buyers also will receive an iPad—customized for Cadillac buyers, naturally—intended to accelerate the CUE learning curve while using the same technology upon which it is based, that of tablets and smartphones.

Cadillac is hardly the first automaker to use tech from Cupertino as a sweetener. At one time, Hyundai was including iPads with the purchase of its Equus; Saab did the same for those placing early orders for its 9-4X. Bentley’s Mulsanne Executive,  Jaguar’s XJ Ultimate, and Mercedes-tuner Brabus’s 800 all feature integrated iPads in their interiors.



Equipped with Cadillac’s CUE app (available for download from the App Store in late May), iPad users will be able to experience CUE’s interface, enabling them to test-drive the system and review tutorials anytime and anywhere, in or out of the vehicle. Originally intended as a learning tool to educate dealership technicians, the app was deemed useful enough to make available to a wider audience. In addition to the CUE app, the Caddy’s gratis iPad also includes the MyCadillac app and OnStar RemoteLink.

In addition to Bluetooth connectivity providing access to contacts, audio files, and other useful information from your smart device, CUE also features GPS navigation, OnStar, weather maps with Doppler radar, stereo controls, and Pandora and XM radio. And because it’s a Linux-based system, it’s possible that the system could be further enhanced by third-party developers.
To avoid alienating its core-customer base during CUE’s transition from the computer lab to the dashboard, Cadillac has established a network of consumer resources before the fact. CUE experts have been added to Cadillac’s customer-service call center, and OnStar reps will be similarly knowledgeable. In addition, U.S. Cadillac dealers will provide assistance from CUE-trained associates. Tags: Cadillac, Cadillac XTS, iPad, iPad apps |

Mini John Cooper Works 2013 GP Hatchback: Mini has saved his fastest for final


We previously we ran a couple of speculative stories on the Mini John Cooper Works GP. It is with some relief that we are now able to provide official information and images of the worst-kept secrets Mini.

Mini United debut officially at the Festival at Le Castellet, France, the Mini John Cooper Works 2013 GP is basically the Mini John Cooper Works with most of the works. That includes a body kit looking for media with a front fascia air devouring, new side skirts, a rear diffuser and a carbon wing above the backlight. Four wheels — rays mirrors and red lipstick, for that matter — tend to look funny on cars less capricious than the Mini, but as innately playful with the predecessor of this car, the mischievous 2006 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP Kit, this model looks pretty zippy. The jury of c/d is on black, silver and Red the GP's new body graphics decals come off easily, but how they are applied.

All we know is 8:23

Other performance improvements include removal of the seat back of tailgate, as well as the installation of a suite of race-worthy bit frame, including an adjustable suspension, upgraded brakes and high-performance tires. Detailed specs on these components, as well as those relating to the GP engine, which we expect to be a version of the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-banger fellow JCW found in larger, will be revealed this year closer to GP marketing. The GP should get the same 211 HORSEPOWER and 221 lb-ft of torque from the 1.6 litre how compatriot JCW, however. We must wait to learn how Mini plans to pay for the new super Cooper, as well as what slice of its 2000 production units run will be handed out to American customers. We have learned, however, that all 2000 vehicles has confirmed at this point will be sedans. If Mini goes ahead with any coupes JCW GP will be part of a separate production.

However shy with ProductDetails Mini is to be at this point, has provided a particularly revealing statistics: 8 minutes and 23 seconds, the door JCW GP 2013 laps the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife considerable 19 seconds faster than its predecessor. Grinding that we are journalists, we prefer to verify that ourselves. Just tell us where to go.
