Rolls Royce Ghost "…it looks natural, not styled"

Ghost is the essence of Rolls-Royce in its simplest, purest form. Every inch delivers on the power of simplicity.

The classic Rolls-Royce proportions are all present and correct: the 2:1 ratio of the height of the wheels to the height of the body; the long wheelbase and bonnet; the short overhang at the front and long overhang at the rear.

Exterior Designer, Andreas Thurner says "…it looks natural, not styled". Its powerful presence leaves no doubt that it's cut from the same cloth as the rest of the marque - exactly what we set out to achieve.

Rolls-Royce SUVs or MPVs in the future

Rolls-Royce regional director for Asia Pacific, Paul Harris told Malaysian journalists that the company is working on several new models for the future and when asked whether the brand would build an SUV, a segment that is increasingly popular among premium brands, he said that nothing has been ruled out.

He added that the new and modern Ghost platform will be the basis for the new product but refused to be drawn into the specifics of whether it will be an SUV or not.

"We understand that the SUV segment is popular among premium car buyers and we have not ruled anything out but what is important is that any product that the company makes will have to be a genuine Rolls-Royce.

"The Ghost has made the brand more accessible to more people, not just in terms of the price but also the image of the model and how people can accept the car and the brand and the success of the smaller car is partly because it is a genuine Rolls-Royce," he added.

BMW X6 M by Mansory


Following on the heels of their rendition of the X5 M, deluxe Swiss tuner Mansory has a package for the X6 M to woo the BMW fans.

First comes the aerodynamic/optics tuning which features a new front spoiler with bigger air intakes, a lightweight carbon-fiber bonnet with vents to improve air flow to the engine, a new rear skirt and rear diffuser, a rear spoiler lip and a roof spoiler. The wide-body wings add some girth to the X6 M - 70 mm at the front wheel arches and 80 mm at the back.

ECU-remapping and performance tuning also compliments the optical changes, which includes a power upgrade to 670 PS (493 kW) and a huge jump in torque to 950 Nm (same as on the Mansory X5 M) - up from the series' 555 PS (408 kW) and 680 Nm. It's the stainless-steel sport exhaust system with the quad-pipes integrated into the rear diffuser along with a new exhaust manifold that helps optimize that considerable power boost.

The 0 to 100 km/h sprint comes in 4.2 seconds (series: 4.7 seconds) and top speed on the electronic limiter is raised to 300 km/h (186 mph).

The Mansory X6 M also comes with light-alloy 23-inch rims fitted with 315/25R23 tires.

A sport suspension kit is added too with the ability to lower the X6 M up to 40 mm.

For the interior finish, Mansory offers a sport steering wheel and a host of bespoke options for the customer to choose from including a choice of a leather or Alcantara finish with wood, carbon or aluminium trim.


Porsche Panamera by Anderson Germany


German tuner Anderson has announced a new package for the Porsche Panamera 4S.

The tuning starts off with a body kit that includes a new front apron, rear apron, rear spoiler and side skirts. Air inlets also adorn this new Panamera creation - have a look at those stacks on the rear end. More air intakes are fitted to the bonnet as well.

But the cosmetics don't end there. The new headlight design also provides the Panamera with a more sinister looking face while the LED daytimers come with a tinting that suits the Satin Black paint finish along with the tinted windows, headlamps and taillights. The mirrors, grill, door handles, tailgate, logos and window frames are painted in a glossy black for contrast.

Anderson also dials up power on the Panamera 4S to 485 PS (357 kW) from the standard 400 PS (294 kW) by means of an ECU remap and a sport exhaust system with Rennkats.

The Panamera 4S gets fitted with 22-inch wheels behind which sit the red brake calipers. The rims are wrapped in 265/30R22 tires at the front and 295/25R22 at the back.

An adjustable suspension with three height levels can lower the car up to 40 mm.

For the interior upgrade, Anderson adds features such as the adjustable front and rear LED footwell lighting in red. A carbon leather and black Alcantara finish with red trim and diamond seams outfits the cabin along with the Alcantara roof lining, also with a diamond stitching. There's a sport steering wheel and carbon trim for the front and rear consoles and door sills. Handles and roof panels come in a gloss black finish with black bordered red logos.

If you were a car-crazed kid in America any time between Eisenhower and LBJ, chances are you learned about one sports car before any other: Corvette. It might’ve been a two-tone C1 roadster, a split-window coupe parked among svelte Corvairs and boxy Impalas on your neighborhood dealership’s showroom floor, or Tod and Buzz’s dull gray convertible on television; but the long hood, the short deck, the two buckets, and the brawny, yet sophisticated American swagger caught your eye.

Upcoming Cars in 2012 Dodge CHARGER with Specification

Upcoming Cars in 2012 CHARGER With Prices, Specification And Reviews and Pictures.

While new CAFE regulations have put many automakers’ future rear-wheel vehicle plans on hold — including General Motors – Chrysler’s 300 and Dodge Charger will soldier on with a rear-wheel drive setup through their 2011 model year makeover.
Among the news from today's New New Chrysler briefing was this slide of the 2012 Dodge Charger. Look familiar? There's a reason...

This image reveals a sloping belt line and strong curve building from the front to the shoulders, reminiscent of the 1999 Dodge RT Charger Concept (below) it seems to borrow heavily from. We're also told the new Charger initially had rear door handles in the roof line rather than the door panel — giving it a two-door look — but this was eventually dropped.
