Already a single of a fastest cars on a highway, the Koenigsegg CCR is not the initial that’d open to thoughts when meditative of rides that could make use of a little one more tuning. It’s already got 816 horsepower, after all, and can top out during around 245 miles per hour. What some-more could you wish?

Well, which was prior to a new Agera came out. Now the previous-generation Koenigsegg suddenly seems the small old-fashioned. So a UK’s Evo repository – a publication sanctified with a garage full of supercars – brought its CCR to the folks at Edo Competition for the little… enhancement.

The tuning residence known for its custom Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches carefully went to work on Evo‘s Koenigsegg, remapping the ECU and tweaking the pair of superchargers. Then they massaged a delivery, reworked a gearing, upgraded the brakes, as well as enhaned a car’s appearance inside and out.

The outcome is 891 horsepower, re-calibrated to flog in during lower revs for quicker increase in speed at a expense of tip finish. Follow a jump for all the details in a press release and check out a high-resolution images in the mega art studio below for the closer look.

The Audi Q6 will take upon a BMW X6 most unsubtly just given a name. We’ve never quite favourite a X6 though its overwhelming success means we seem to be in a minority. And so because wouldn’t Audi furnish something similar to contest with a SUV-coupe, in a form of the Audi Q6?

This Q6 rendering shows what we could expect from a similarly-designed Audi model. It would be built upon the same height as the Volkswagen Touareg as well as Porsche Cayenne (proving once again how accessible it can be to be part of a VAG group). The Audi Q6 should prove to be slightly not as big than the huge Q7 and will take upon the few some-more coupe-like features together with a sloping front windshield as well as back finish.

The Audi Q6 intends to plant itself in the luxury car zone, charity only 4 seats. It will have a array of V6 motor fuel as well as diesel motor fuel engines, all of that should have all-wheel drive choice. AutoExpress continues its inform, saying that a Audi Q6 could entrance as early as this month’s 2011 Shanghai Motor Show, with sales starting subsequent year.

Here have been a little uninformed view shots of a next-generation Porsche 911 Cabriolet as well as a Porsche 911 Coupe.

Spy lenses have once again held Porsche engineers out contrast a subsequent era 911. Both automobile as well as coupe versions were seen out using upon the Nürburgring. The 2012 Porsche 911 is approaching to be slightly larger and exaggerate the wider back lane. The fighter engine in a bottom representation is rumored to furnish 345 horsepower.

The brand new further to a Porsche Panamera Turbo S offers the singular multiple of opening as well as potency, moving dynamics as well as joy. The 4.8-litre, V8 twin-turbocharged engine delivers 550 hp (410 kW), an enlarge of 10 per cent or 50 hp (37 kW) some-more than a Panamera Turbo. Torque additionally increases from 700 to 750 Nm as well as in the “Sport” and “Sport Plus” mode of a customary Sport Chrono Package Turbo – as well as during kick-down in normal mode – a eight cylinder engine delivers 800 Nm pleasantness of a over-boost function.

This uprated engine delivers jot down scurry times for a brand new tip of a operation Panamera. When regulating a Launch Control duty, 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is reached in 3.8 seconds, with the tip speed of 191 mph (306 km/h) probable. However, despite a increasing performance, fuel expenditure of a Porsche Panamera Turbo S remains during a assuage level of the Panamera Turbo at 24.6mpg Combined on a NEDC – an example of Porsche Intelligent Performance.

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S goes upon sale in June as well as is labeled from £122,623.

Audi Q6. First drawings

Recently there were rumors that the company Audi is going to introduce its own large off-road coupe, which would make competition BMW X6. And now the British publication AutoExpress has published the first computer drawings of the new model.

At the heart of the new Audi, which is still called the Q6, will lie on the same platform, which created the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne. But at the same settings for running Q6 will be much closer to the Cayenne, than comfortable Q7. In addition, Q6 is less than the Q7, but the loss in utility and free space (for example, in the back there will be two separate chairs), this machine will compensate for its beauty.

Under the hood Audi Q6 in addition to the standard engine will be set and the hybrid power plant. Moreover, we can not exclude the appearance of 4.0-liter unit with a supercharged V8, which will produce about 520 hp It is expected that the concept Q6 premiere will be held this year. But the car gets on the conveyor until the second half of 2012.

Porsche officially announced Panamera Turbo S

Porsche has officially unveiled the most powerful version of the hatchback Panamera, dubbed Turbo S. World premiere of new items will be held at one of the closest dealers – in Shanghai or in New York.

In contrast to the version of Turbo, Turbo S engine produces 550 hp instead of five hundred, and the maximum torque increased from 700 to 750 Nm. In this case, the mode Overboost this option may temporarily rise to 800 Nm.

An increase of power 4.8-liter bi-turbo "Eight" was implemented thanks to the installation of new turbines, titanium-aluminum sports exhaust system and migrated electronic engine control unit.

From zero to hundreds of the most powerful Porsche Panamera Turbo S accelerates in just 3.8 seconds and its top speed is 306 km / h. Externally, novelty can be distinguished by the extended rear wings and other wheels, available in a radius of 19 and 20 inches.

Taken care of in a Porsche and the economy's most powerful Panamery, "shoes" of her in a specially designed all-season tires Michelin low rolling resistance. Average fuel consumption is 11.3 liters hatch a hundred.

Sales will begin in June this year at a price of 167,076 euros in Germany. Already in the standard package will include Sport Chrono Turbo mechatronic chassis and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC).

The visitor will be gunning for the controversial BMW X6, that has valid the exile 
success, selling some-more than 110,000 units. It will be formed upon the same height as a brand new VW Touareg and Porsche Cayenne, itself the condensed chronicle of 
the Audi Q7’s underpinnings. Sacrificing a little of which model’s huge bucket space, a Q6 will recompense with some-more character.

As the images show, a Q7’s burned wheelarches as well as frail surfacing will be carried over, though a not as big car will competition some-more steeply raked screens as well as the plunging roofline. Wraparound tail-lights as well as the curved foot spoiler emanate the visible reference to an additional Audi coupé, a A7.

More than anyone else, Chairman Ferdinand Piëch is the chairman obliged for Volkswagen’s success in the final 10 years. It’s a conglomerate of 9 brands, a largest carmaker in Europe, second-largest in a world, as well as is right away severe Toyota to be number a single in universe sales.

“An aggressive as well as perfectionist executive,” as a single bio has it, Piëch as well as his group have done no skeleton about their intentions to be tops in 2018. They will need to sell 800,000 cars in the U.S. to do which, and a prospects for it aren’t too great.

A new square in Autoweek laid out a little of a challenges, as well as there is another courteous critique here.

Here is cave, in shorter form, so you can dig the haze of corporate PR which will certainly arise in the entrance years. The association is committing $71 billion over five years to achieve its idea, an enormous volume, as well as maybe they can do it.

Piëch has more than ego; he is the good engineer, has combined a little of Porsche’s best competition cars, as well as knows how to setup automobile companies. Three years ago he incited in reserve the manoeuvre attempt from Porsche head Wendelin Wiedeking to take over VW. His open banishment of subordinates is legendary.

“Ach, Viedeking is oudt, Porsche is mein!” (He says things similar to this all a time.)

Well, a takeover will probably occur, though there have been problems with Porsche debt.

Volkswagen is mythological not only for stressing its vaunted German engineering, but for receiving a “we know best” attitude about what goes into its cars. Continuing complaints from consumers about conceited, nonchalant dealers as well as the pervasive repute for poor extravagant and cheapening its cars (e.g., the 2011 Jetta) have combined negatives that will not be easy to overcome.

Add to all this the story over the final several years of unequivocally poor advertising, with weak as well as inconsistent messaging, as well as you can see because there have been plenty of skeptics out there about VW’s intentions.

The association still builds some unequivocally good cars, similar to a brand new Touareg TDI, Surveyed here, as well as maybe can bring behind some of the glory days in a U.S. with the microvan similar to a Bulli (right).

The wildcard, of march, will be Herr Piëch himself. As others have schooled, it’s not customarily correct to gamble against him

We Informed yesterday which the Panamera Turbo S could be in a works with an Authorized entrance entrance during theNew York Auto Show in April. We didn’t have to wait prolonged to find out, as Porsche has released a first sum about the new flagship four-door.

As approaching, the Turbo S gets the energy increase up to 550 horsepower, 50 some-more than a customary Turbo model, interjection to brand new twin turbochargers with extended turbines as well as modified engine programming. Torque is also up, 553 lb-ft compared to 516 lb-ft. Porsche says which a Panamera Turbo S is able of reaching 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds as good as the tip speed of 190 mph, all whilst returning an estimated 15/23 mpg. The automobile will stretch showrooms after this Spring, with pricing in the U.S. starting during $173,200.
