2012 McLaren MP4-12C Spyder Version – More Energy Efficient and Fuel Economic




McLaren MP4-12C car model will be backfired soon to the market. However, before the introduction of this futuristic model, a team of experts have been doing studies to apply innovative car tuning techniques to upgrade the car so that it will save fuel and run smoothly in the street. This will vie with super car model. The high quality carbon-fiber is used to make the internal framework of the model. This futuristic car will be competing with Ferrari 458 Spider.Meanwhile, British car engineers have taken an initiative to bring changes to the format of car design. More innovation is needed to ensure the compact technical configuration so that in terms of quality and energy efficiency this vehicle will outperform its hardcore rivals.The updated technical spec sheet has been published to update the knowledge bank of a buyer. This fuel economic super car will be equipped with a long lasting drive-train kit, an automatic transmission, a powertrain, servos, torque converting unit, an excellent dash, clutch disc hub plate, dampers, and exhaust system. This is the car which has low fuel consumption. This is the super car which has a durable hi-tech 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine which generates 600 hp. The torque level is always high. However, at the same time, specialists are showing their interests to take care of the interior design. The retractable car squads with leatherwork are superb. Inside the fuselage of the car, there is adequate space for the safekeeping of passengers. The dash, a binnacle, an ergonomic steering wheel, glass insulated windshields, non retractable slit window glass screens and escutcheons to reinforce the interlocking systems. The street nav systems are up to the mark. Aesthetic appeal is strongly palpable as experts have decided to use the attractive mind blowing colors to paint the exterior textures of the car cabin. Car wheelbases are light in weight. Tire bands are flexible and long lasting. Fluorescent lamps flash well to soothe eyes. The drag-in engine co-efficiency rate is low to increase the swiftness of the car even in the strong blow of wind.

2013 Volkswagen BlueSport Roadster Concept



Volkswagen, one of the biggest auto makers in the world, and one of the few whose sales haven’t been affected by the failing economy has been promising us a sports car since 2003. They finally unveiled a concept at the 2012 Detroit Motor Show.The 2013 Volkswagen BlueSport Roadster will be a fairly-priced, good (not great) performance vehicle. It’s likely to be powered by a 2.0-liter engine (similar to the one used in the Jetta or inAudi’s A3), or a 2.0-liter turbo four (optional). The steering wheel will probably be the same, though: an automatic 7-speed automatic DSG with a manual mode. To shift the gears manually, the driver can use the two shifters mounted on the wheel, although the automatic shifting saves up on the fuel consumption.Speaking of the fuel consumption, according to Volkswagen, their very first sports car will go about 35-50 mpg, with CO2 emissions of only 113. It will go from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds, which is pretty good for the intended pricing.The 2013 Volkswagen BlueSport Roadster features a navigation system, electro-hydraulic power steering, a stop/start system for the engine, antilock 4-wheel disk brakes and a 4-wheel independent transmission. Volkswagen says that the BlueSport Roadster’s top will be the lightest in its class.It is possible that such a vehicle becomes available for purchase sometime this year, but Volkswagen hasn’t officially stated anything about a release date. The price will be between $23,000 and $26,000.

2012 Porsche Cayman S Black Edition




Following the recently announced 911 and Boxster S Black Editions, Porsche introduces a new, limited edition Cayman S arriving later this summer. The 2012 Cayman S Black Edition comes in solid black and features a monochrome treatment with a black body and black-painted 19-inch Boxster Spyder design wheels. Normally contrasting trim pieces from the Cayman S are also painted for a uniform look. The side air intake grilles are painted black, as are the twin exhaust tailpipes and the model designation on the rear deck lid. Limited to only 500 units, the Cayman S Black Edition will be tagged at a cool $67,500 USD. Additional specs follow below.The monochromatic theme continues to the interior where black is the only available color, with aluminum and stainless steel used as accents. The brushed stainless steel door-entry guards feature Black Edition lettering, and the standard SportDesign steering wheel features twin aluminum-look spokes with a rim of smooth-finish black leather. Also painted black are the trim strips on the dashboard and around the six-speed manual shift lever or the gear selector for the optional Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) seven-speed double clutch transmission, while the instrument dials are black instead of the usual white. Two final touches are the Porsche crest embossed on the headrests and a limited-edition badge on the glove compartment.Like the other Black Editions, the Cayman S Black Edition combines Porsche’s popular option packages to deliver additional value to customers. The black-painted exterior and interior touches are part of the Design package available on other Cayman models. The Convenience package, also standard, includes Bi-Xenon™ headlights with dynamic cornering function, auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, rain sensor and automatic climate control. The Black Edition’s chassis builds on the foundation of the Cayman S, which already features exceptional balance and handling. The lightest 19-inch wheels in the Porsche lineup are fitted 235/35 ZR 19 tires up front and 265/35 ZR 19 in the rear, providing a visually dynamic upgrade from the standard 18-inch wheels on the regular CaymanS. A 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine with direct fuel injection, mounted in front of the rear axle, produces 330 horsepower – 10 more than in the Cayman S – while also delivering excellent fuel economy, particularly when coupled with the optional PDK transmission. With PDK, the Cayman S Black Edition will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package and reaches a top track speed of 172 mph while achieving EPA estimated fuel economy of 20 city and 29 highway (19/26 when equipped with six-speed manual and top track speed of 173 mph), the same as the Cayman S. In addition to reducing the 0–60 acceleration times by two-tenths, the optional Sport Chrono Package with PDK provides a launch control function and more aggressive Sport and Sport Plus shift strategies.


2015 Mini Van




If you’re a fan of the Mini Cooper but need something in XXL, this could be the car for you. This illustration portrays a van variant of the Mini—Mini Van, get it?—which sources claim could go on sale by 2015 (if not sooner). Having finally delivered on its promise of a smaller Mini, courtesy of the 2-passenger Coupe and Roadster, it appears the brand is moving back to a “bigger is better” mantra.The extended Clubman model and Countryman crossover have already nudged Mini to previously uncharted dimensions. The Mini Van appears to share the overall proportions of the Countryman, minus that model’s slightly fussy front end and fender flares. It’s also unlikely Mini would fit the Countryman’s (optional) all-wheel-drive system to the Van, though it’s not completely out of the question.The current 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, in normally aspirated and turbocharged forms, is guaranteed to find its way into the engine bay. A choice of 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions is also a safe bet. The more upright body should provide ample head room and a significant boost to cargo capacity. Mini might opt to fit sliding rear seats, like those found in the Countryman, for added utility.With the Coupe and Roadster just coming to market, Mini will likely wait until 2013 before offering any official hints as to the next model to join the lineup.

2012 Toyota Yaris Hybrid





Toyota
 is about to add another model to its hybrid line-up and, no surprise here, it’s based on the company’s best sold model on the European market: the Yaris. The new Yaris Hybrid is set to make its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March with sales in Europe beginning shortly thereafter.
The new Yaris Hybrid will be powered by the first downsizing of Toyota’s HSD powertrain that combines a new 1.5 liter petrol engine with a lighter, more compact electric motor, transaxle, inverter, and battery pack. This new system is about 20% lighter than that of the engine found in the Auris Hybrid and will deliver a total of 100 HP. It will be mated to a standard automatic transmission.
Next to having a hybrid powertrain, the new Yaris Hybrid will also be offered with an exclusive, aerodynamically efficient exterior design. This means it will have a new, more assertive Under Priority trapezoid opening frontal design element with the Keen Look design implemented on the front lamps.
More details about the new Yaris Hybrid will be unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, so stay tuned.

2013 Ford Fusion




The all new Ford Fusion was showcased at the Detroit Auto Show representing the evolution of sedans. In the new model you can find hints of Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, and Aston Martindesigns. This new concept is unofficially called “Kinetic 2.0”Chris Hamilton, the British exterior design chief of the all-new, 2013 Ford Fusion said: “We put a lot of emphasis, to create something that we think will be different in the marketplace. We’ll have a sophisticated feel. We’ll be elegant. We’ll be somewhat unexpected in North America, from Ford, and we’ll set ourselves apart from Camry and Accord … We wanted to create a beautiful-looking car. That’s always been our number-one objective.The body of the Fusion increased 1.1 inches in length, 0.5 inches in width, and 5 inches in wheelbase making it look much larger. The detailing of the creases running from the headlights through the door handles to the rear window gives is a sharp character. Ford’s signature above the grille has a new brushed-aluminum surrounding the Blue Oval emblem. The underbody trays and new distinguished shaped mirrors improve aerodynamics. The laminated windshield and seal around the hood reduces engine noise.Ford gives buyers the choice of three engines. A 170-hp 2.5 L four cylinder 6 speed automatic, 179-hp 1.6L EcoBoost turbo 6 speed automatic or manual, or 237-hp 2.0L EcoBoost 6 speed automatic. The all wheel drive is available only to the 2.0L fusion. The stop-start engine system is standard on all models whose role is to reduce fuel consumption and emission by 3.5%.Customers that buy the hybrid get a new 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder which replaces the outgoing 2.5-liter unit. A permanent-magnet AC synchronous motor holds up the electrical end of the momentum bargain which helps to boost total system output to 185 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque. An electronically controlled continuously variable transmission sends the power to the wheels. Lighter and more powerful lithium-ion batteries that replaces the previous Fusion hybrid’s nickel-metal hydride batteries which increases the fully electric top speed from 47 to 62 mph.As far as technology goes Ford incorporated the adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system, blind-spot warning, active park assist and the MyFord Touch system is available on the features list. Other than these items Ford isn’t saying much more. The interior is for sure impressive, comfortable and elegant. The surfaces are blended with soft materials, high quality sound reducing plastic, and chrome accents. The roofline steeps but there are indentations in the rear seat for passengers’ heads. Legroom is imporoved because the front seats are thinner than the previous model. Trunk space is reduced from 16.5 cubic feet to 15.4 cubic feet.

Peugeot EX1 concept – the mini Bat Mobile





Peugeot designed a new concept – the new EX1. Powered by electric engines, each producing 170 horsepower and 240Nm, for a total of 340 horsepower, the new EX1 goes from 0 to 60 in under 3.5 seconds, and reaches its top speed of 162 mph in just 6.6 seconds.
The outer design has multiple purposes. Of course it gives the car a great aerodynamic performance and a brilliant sporty look, but it also enables the car to have a very small weight of only 750kg. The body of the car is made from carbon fiber, and has a length of only 3.54 meters.
The windshield is almost non-existent. The EX1 only has two seats, and its body looks like it’s made for track, so the word Roadster would be an appropriate part in the car’s name. The large exhaust is placed behind the driver’s head, and increases the similarity to the fictional “Bat-Mobile”.
Peugeot stated their intentions of giving their EX1 the best performance there is on any electric car, and so they’ve done. The amazing acceleration and speed is not only beyond reached for any other electric car, but also better than some internal combustion sport correspondents as well.
This car looks great and handles even better –it’s a pitty that Peugeot hasn’t released any information about a release date or price.

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept – More Energy Efficient



Just a week ago, an official brief was issued from the headquarters of Honda that the company will launch new pilot projects to bring speed to the car upgradation and tuning programs with the main purpose of bringing back more revenues to spoon feed employees. However, after a long hiatus Honda has taken such a drastic step to launch this performance based car upgradation package.
2013 Accord Coupe Concept vehicle has been exhibited at 2012 Detroit Auto Show. People showed their full fledged support after watching the one-off car model of Honda. In another statement, one of the official spokespersons of the company has confirmed the installation of an energy efficient 2.4 liter direct inject powertrain and plug in hybrid system for the activation of the new concept car model.
2.4 L powertrain generates 181hp and 177 pound feet torque to make car wheelbases functional using a performance based manual gearbox. This is the car which has a solid compartment and latest nav system. This is the car which is equipped with automatic transmission to channelize torque from the engine to the car wheels, dampers to collect shock for checking friction and very powerful carbon diffuser. This vehicle is not weighty. Nor is it loaded with updated drive train kit. However so far as the two-motor plug-in hybrid based mechanism there is a powerful 6 kilowatt hour ion battery to generate power for allowing the vehicle to run smoothly on highway. 2.0-litre i-VTEC with CVT attachment has been installed into the compartment of the car to help people to drive their dream cars competently.
This is the vehicle which has four less weighty car wheelbases with tire bands to let the car run on the road swiftly. The level of air contamination done by this sophisticated car is very low. You will feel comfy when you travel by this car. Fluorescent lamps have been installed into the grooves of bezels. The aligned trapezoidal grilles and air inlets of this new concept vehicle are durable and strong.

2012 Maybach 62S Landaulet




When we hear the word “Maybach”, each one of us pictures a vehicle multibillionaires use when they get tired of their private jets – and that’s exactly what this Maybach is.
This Landaulet is the ultimate in car comfort. All the gizmos the people from Maybach could think off were inserted into this car. Of course, because it’s a Landaulet, the roof can be fully opened at the rear. In this model, the time it takes to fully open the roof was lowered to 16 seconds.
There are 2 passenger seats in the back, each of them the size of an armchair. Naturally, all the seats are heated. The leg room is enormous. There could be a whole extra seat in front of every passenger and no one would feel cramped.  The shoulder belts automatically adjust to the height of the driver, or the passengers.
There are two 9.5 inch displays for the entertainment system in front of the passengers. Other features include radio, DVD and front telephone, but also navigation system and other services. The entertainment system can be controlled by the passengers using a remote, or by the driver using vocal commands.
As if the comfort found on the inside wasn’t enough, this year’s Landaulet is powered by a V12 turbocharged and water intercooled engine that provides a maximum output of 620 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.
This is the best way to travel by car. Once you rode one of these cars, you can never feel comfortable in another vehicle again.

2012 Aston Martin One-77




Aston Martin has released some information and photographs on their new One-77. As expected, the car looks stunningly beautiful, and the performance that is promised is outstanding.
Both the exterior and the interior design are very good. The interior will probably contain every single piece of luxury the passenger or driver would want. According to the Aston Martin CEO, the interior design will be minimalist, and every object will have a specific purpose.
As far as performance goes, this car isn’t meant to take the Bugatti Veyron head on – but it’s not far away from that either. The 7.3L V12 produces a massive 750 horsepower and about 533 lb-ft of torque. Aston Martin has managed to increase the power of their previous 6.0L V12, and at the same time to reduce its mass by 10 per cent. Altogether, this car is 25 per cent lighter than the DB9. Judging by the power and torque of the engine, it is estimated that the One-77 will have a top speed of around 220 mph, and will accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds or less.
The braking will be done using Aston’s Carbon Ceramic Matrix brake technology, which produces less heat.
The price will start at $1.4 million, and there will be only 77 One-77’s produced, so if you have $1.4 million to spend on a car, I recommend you buy this one.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SL500



The Mercedes-Benz SL series is legendary. Tracing its roots as far back as 60 years, they have long been the symbol of Mercedes Benz’s commitment to creating a sports car that combines performance, style, comfort and innovation. That is why there are high expectations for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL500. This new generation of SL cars is more than capable of living up to expectations.In almost every conceivable angle, the new SL features an upgrade across the board. For the first time ever, the body is made almost purely of aluminum, allowing a savings of 140 kilograms in weight. That savings, coupled with the dynamic styling, is true to what the SL name means: Sporty and Light. Not only that, but the interior is made to be comfortable, true to the standards of this premium luxury sports car.
But of course, this car is not just about creature comforts. A new engine, dubbed the BLUE Direct by Mercedes Benz, features improved strength and fuel efficiency. The 5 liter V8 twin-turbo engine produces 429 horsepower while increasing fuel efficiency by 29 percent more than the engine found in the previous SL generation.This is coupled with a suspension that presents a perfect balance between comfort and handling. Together with the aforementioned weight savings, the 2012 Mercedes Benz SL500 is capable of giving a superior driving experience. With this new generation of SL, this sports car legend is alive and well.

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550




Mercedes Benz has always been known to stir the imagination with high quality cars that possess a combination of luxury and speed. Among their recent models, only a few have created a larger stir than their CLS. Best known for being a “4 door coupe”, its styling has been well received by both fans and critics alike.
When the new generation of the CLS was unveiled late in 2010, it had quite huge shoes to fill. After all, more than 170,000 CLS models have been sold in a span of six years, and on the process created a new styling niche that isSure, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 retains that 4 door coupe styling that made it so popular with the masses. But this car is a completely new model that is designed to build on the strong tradition of the original. A front end that is apparently inspired by the retro-inspired supercar SLS sets the tone for the new design. Still up front, the CLS is the first production car ever to use full LED lights on their headlight system. The same outline that made the CLS special was retained, but they are reformatted to present a smoother, more aggressive feel.
To round of the car, the interior is the recipient of a classic yet progressive arrangement from the seats down to the instruments, true to the tradition of Mercedes Benz. And a 5.5 liter twin turbo engine producing 402 horsepower provides the muscle for this muscular device. The 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS550 is on a class of its own, just like the modern legend that it replaced

2013 Dodge Dart

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Facelift More Energy Efficient



Toyota Land Cruiser will leave for US market by the end of 2013 in succession. This new concept vehicle will have energy efficient drive train and street nav system. Toyota has confirmed the production of new Toyota Land Cruiser for capturing American market soon.In a statement issued by the concerned authority of Toyota, it has been stated clearly soon an updated spec sheet will be published in the internet. One should log in the online official portal of Toyota for the updation of knowledge bank about the technical configuration of the vehicle. The compact technical tune-up will be enhanced by a team of experts.Change is the essence of technical upgradation. Experts have used their extensive expertise and innovative skill to upgrade the car by installing LED daytime running lamps, reflectors, tailboard lamps, chrome insulated plates and molded side plates to reinforce the immune system of the car. HID lamps are more powerful to backfire eye-adjustable light to magnify minuscule objects lying in darkness. Nocturnal navigation will be done perfectly due to the usage of sophisticated technology to tune up the car more competently. 18 inch alloy wheelbases are flexible, ultra-light and long lasting. Tire bands are good in terms of longevity. The hard body of the car is able to resist storm.On the other hand, experts have applied the innovative and the latest cosmetic make-up to increase the gloss of the car. There is no dearth of luster. Nor is there any scuttle tremor at the front. However, experts are still doing experiments to accelerate the efficiency of street nav system. Other technical specifications include LED lamps, an ergonomic steering wheel, dynamic radar cruise regulating device, power converter unit, an odometer, a speedometer, a tachometer and a climate checking device to authenticate street navigation. The rate of fuel consumption is low because of usage of modern carbon diffuser and exhaust system. The flexible car squads are also retractable and glossy in color and desig

Peugeot 107 Facelift 2012




Peugeot has restyled the front of the 107, added more equipment, made it more fuel efficient – and dropped the price. The three trim levels on offer have been renamed (Access, Active and Allure) to bring them in line with other Peugeot models, and Peugeot Connect Bluetooth and USB are now available for the first time.Externally, the 107 gets cosmetic updates to its styling that include redesigned bumpers and LED daytime running lights.

2012 BMW 5-Series V-MS By Vorsteiner




Noted BMW tuning company Vorsteiner has been burning the midnight oil the past couple of weeks, having released one program after another for a number of models from the German automaker.It appears that they’ve stretched their run of programs for Beamers into the next calendar year with the release of the new V-MS program for the BMW 5-Series F10.The whole set of modifications encompass a comprehensive list of new aerodynamic body panels, all of which are made entirely out of carbon fiber. As if we expect anything less from Vorsteiner.The carbon fiber V-MS components have been designed to fit cars equipped with the M-Sport package and includes a new front spoiler, a boot lid lip, a new diffuser section on the rear bumper, a bolt-on replacement cat-back performance exhaust system that’s available in either stainless steel or titanium, with the aforementioned exhaust slashing off about 25% of the weight from the standard equipment fitted by BMW into the 5-Series F10.The whole set of modifications don’t come with any engine enhancements, which means that you’ll still see the 5er’s eight-cylinder engine boasting of an output that could reach up to 407 horsepower.We know the deal about getting an uptick in power, but with already 407 ponies at your disposal with the 5-Series, you could do away without one, especially if you’re carrying Vorsteiner’s V-MS body kit program.

2012 Subaru WRX STI



While we’ve seen the all-new Subaru Impreza earlier this year, we have yet to hear much about the ultimate high-performance version of the car, the WRX STI. Subaru has been very secretive about the car, not allowing any information to get out to the media, but our colleagues in Japan were able to uncover some important details.The STI’s launch is still about a year away—we hear that it’s scheduled to reach dealer showrooms in the summer of 2012. The car will first appear as a 5-door hatchback, with perhaps a sedan version to follow. It seems that Subaru has plans to compete in various motorsports events with the WRX STI, so expect to see the hatchback at rally events, with the sedan competing in touring-car races.We’re still unsure how the U.S.-spec WRX STI will differ from the home-market version, but we do know that both will produce more than 300 bhp. The Japanese model will come powered by a new version of the FB flat-4 with a turbocharger. Our sources say that the 2.0-liter engine will produce 330 bhp and 324 lb.-ft. of torque, which is 8 bhp and 12 lb.-ft. more than the current domestic model. Despite the additional power, we expect fuel economy to improve.The price is expected to be around $35,000, but we’re hoping Subaru will be able to bring that down to the $30,000 mark. With the high value of the Japanese yen to the American dollar, however, that might prove impossible. But we do know that the car will be one potent machine. The product general manager of the Impreza, Akihide Takeuchi, said that although he can’t comment on the progress of the car, it would be safe for all of us to have very high expectations.

2012 Cadillac Escalade – More Fuel Economic



After getting caboodle of complaints regarding the lack of safety and security by using Cadillac Escalade SUV models, GM has finally decided to launch a powerful and the most user-friendly car upgradation kit. Cadillac Escalade 2012 model is very popular among modern guys due to its flexible operating systems, majestic color contrast inclusive of mind blowing structural charisma. This light weight vehicle is also eco-friendly. However, in spite of the availability of excellent car upgradation tools and street nav systems, this car is not competent to ensure the prevention of theft due to the lack of technical supremacy. For this reason, thieves get chances to drive these car models surreptitiously without disturbing neighbors.
However, the long lasting problem is about to find the way to solution. A team of experienced engineers have been empowered to tighten up the security and protection systems of this SUV. First of all, experts have prioritized the object detection and tracking system. Powerful sensors have been planted into the car to identify strangers who have an axe to grind. PASS Key 3+ is considered to be one of the most up to date encryption systems to check drive-away practices. The steering locking key is an excellent mechanism to prevent wicked persons to drive the car on the smooth texture of highway. On the other hand, inclination sensor device is a matter of excellence. It will inform you of the abrupt jerking, formation of different angles of the compartment of the vehicle due to pushing and pressing by outsiders. This type of sophisticated inclination sensing signal are really workable and beneficial to car owners to get information beforehand in this regard.
The shock sensor tool of this new futuristic vehicle provides data about the window crashing, forced fissure, puncture and unusual dent due to creation of physical pressure on glass windows of the vehicle. It will help car drivers to know in advance about the ill purpose of the thieves who will be caught red handed by investigators. The locking of wheelbases of the car is another important phase to refrain unwanted persons to push the car on the road without informing the car owners.

2013 Mercedes-Benz CLC - First Look




These illustrations offer a peek at the upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLC, the German brand’s new small sedan that mimics the coupe-like styling of the larger CLS. Set for an official debut next spring, when it will be shown during the 2012 New York Auto Show, the CLC will be based on the next-generation A-class and B-class—neither of which has been sold here in the U.S. Sales should begin shortly after the NY show.From these images, the CLC (depicted as a sedan and a wagon) has a bold new look, with a prominent grille and no shortage of side character lines. This latter design element has come in for some criticism on the larger CLS, with some finding the side profile too busy in appearance.It will be interesting to see if the same sedan/coupe treatment works on the more petite frame of the CLC. While we love station wagons, U.S. car buyers tend to prefer small crossovers. Mercedes-Benz is guaranteed to spin an all-wheel-drive crossover off the CLC’s platform. This model is more than likely the one that will be tackling (moderately) heavy hauling duties stateside.Engine options in the U.S. will likely include a turbocharged and direct-injected 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that should be good for at least 200 bhp. The 4-banger will come coupled to a new 7-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission. A 170-bhp 2.2-liter diesel engine could also make it to our shores, along with hybrid-powered variants. An AMG model is a tempting proposition, although Mercedes has yet to confirm one is in the works.
