To make it short (it was not a big surprise): The new Toyota Auris there will be a hybrid drive, the design has to be shown a little more experimental and the body 55 millimeters closer to the ground taken. Its premiere next month, he will celebrate at the Paris Auto Salon.
Especially the option to be able to select a full-drive could give the Toyota Auris compared to nearest golf advantage. Even Volkswagen will bring the next generation of its bestseller to Paris, but first without electric or hybrid drive.The new Auris gets juxtaposed with said lowering in other respects visual changes. For example, the headlights and LED daytime running lights changed contributed. With 4.27 meters, he can still be considered as compact, but has gained an unchanged wheelbase yet by three centimeters. The interior has thus become larger and equipped with a large panoramic roof. 360 liters of cargo volume will result from a nine-centimeter larger cargo space.
In the center console there is now saved to the storage space, would have had to anyway, hardly anyone use. But she is now not quite as high, providing also a little more space. On the valves themselves are freshening chrome elements.Better dynamics of the new Auris experiences through the lowering, since the center of gravity optimized. Steering and suspension have been revised and are designed to provide a more pleasing ride. Up to 40 pounds, it is lighter.
The choices are in addition to the hybrid engine, known unit of the current Auris: two diesel (1.4 and 2.0 liters) and two petrol (1.33 and 1.6 liters). Can orient you are not currently in the price issue only on the current model that is sold from 16,650 euros. More concrete information, it is not this.Photos: © Toyota
The full-hybrid Audi is discreetly from the outside. Only the "hybrid" lettering on the rear and on the sides lets outsiders know that this is a vehicle with an additional electric motor. Orange paint finish lines in the engine compartment, leading to a nondescript box and turn the hybrid lettering on the plastic cover of the 2-liter TFSI gasoline engine, it was in that department already. In the trunk, however, the system takes a bit more space in claim, in the back there is a good 15cm high ridge, including the energy storage in the form of Litihium ion batteries. This reduces the trunk of the sedan from 530 to 375 liters. But he puts it came to the A6 series to almost 200kg and has a combat weight of 1845 kg.
Inside, Audi maintains the tradition as most manufacturers in test cars properly access the accessories and special equipment storage. Beautiful contrasting stitching adorn the battered leather cockpit, which leaves the bottom-line test car price of 53,300 euros shoot up to almost 75,000 euros. Has this car ever anything to do with the Serien-/Basisangebot? As only the operation of the hybrid drive system is to be tested, this is irrelevant in this case, rather even disadvantageous, because every gimmick would eventually also moves.The 7-inch display for the driver and the big screen for all the occupants to show high definition as needed to the vehicle and the flow of energy. The driver can set, where does the power that reaches the front wheels:- only the 211-hp engine,- exclusively for creep speeds of 54 bhp electric engine- or the boost mode of the two units together.
At the very first meters is clear who really wants to use the electric motor and forgo the direct CO2 emissions may not be in a hurry. Because one would like to in the Copenhagen city traffic take advantage of gaps, or even bring a light piece, which the TFSI sits directly on your lap and screams "I will also." Quite so dramatic it not to go, the sharing of the gasoline engine works so harmoniously that it's not noticeable. The electric motor, which is seated in the housing of the eight-speed Tiptronic is additionally connected by a clutch. Helps so only the forced shutdown of the gasoline engine (key "EV") to really enjoy the quiet electric drive. Said and done, to sneak on the next turn, the gas pedal is now also sensitized. New Directions, the gap is large enough, but again the logs TFSI eager to speak. A look at the battery indicator gives the answer: No more juice available. We were only 5 minute walk.
The A6 does not manage to amaze me. The maximum electric range with Audi is 3km at 60km / h. In practice, it was the half, far too little to drive in zero-emission zones. The electric drive system must be enforced, 54HP for over 1.8 tons are far too few. Thanks to the hybrid technology, the consumption decreased from 6.4 in the mix to just 0.2 liters to 6.2 liters per 100km. Adjusted for the extra standard equipment over the A6 series, but it costs over 7,600 euros and more features such as air suspension, quattro drive, B & O sound system and heater are not available for the A6 hybrid.The technology of the hybrid works, however, are the components electric motor and battery in such a big, heavy vehicle simply undersized. Toyota brings in October, the plug-in hybrid with pure 90 minutes quick charge from the wall outlet and 25 km electric range. The slogan "The Power go ahead", which announces Audi is right, so that it simply TFSI sprints.
When in Pebble Beach / California, you can marvel at the McLaren yesterday 12 C Can-Am Edition Race Concept. It is a study of McLaren, which has its origin in the McLaren GT and should provide with only 1200 kg his race fitness to the test. The speech is also one to almost two-thirds higher output because of the special aerodynamics. Less typical is the race car überarbeeitete 3.8-six-cylinder engine that provides the power.
See the first pictures of the cars can be seen here:

The 5.0-liter supercharged V8 Jaguar will expand the palette. Here, no performance data are known, but the engine makes at least 510 hp XKR Coupe and XKR-S coupe is still 40 HP upped the ante.All engines, which are screwed into the F-Type, should work with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which power is passed on to the rear wheels. Gives the start-stop system is fitted as standard and helps save fuel. It is estimated that one will probably expect a starting price of 70,000 euros, more details were not known Jaguar. In mid 2013, it will then be ready.

Even tighter turns at higher speeds it is to master and as a Jeep, of course, the true off-road capability. At least on main roads, streets, he should have had considerable success.
