Official presentation Audi A7 Sportback has taken place in Munich

Company Audi has officially presented the new model A7 Sportback. This five-door compartment – attempt of the company from Ingolstadt to be fixed on the market of sports coupes with rear doors. The car personifies lines of the practical versatile person, a sports sedan and an elegant coupe. The facilitated body from aluminium and high-strength steels has allowed designers to manage exclusively motors V6, and the 8-cylinder unit will appear a bit later.

First the car will receive two petrol units and two diesel engines capacity from 204 to 300 h.p. All versions A7 Sportback will be completed with automatic gear boxes: transmission Multitronic is intended for models with a drive gear on a front axle, and seven-step box S tronic will be delivered with all-wheel drive sport cars.

Models Quattro will receive system of distribution of traction effort and an interaxle differential, capable to transfer to 75 % of a twisting moment on front wheels and 85 % - on rear. The parity 40:60 by default remains. Novelty sales in Europe will begin in the autumn, thus its cost in Germany will begin from 51 650 euros.

Bentley prepares restyling Continental GT

In 2012 Bentley prepares to present absolutely new generation of coupe Continental GT, however up until that time we should wait for a premiere restyling version of this model. According to magazine Autoweek, the updated coupes at the moment pass finishing stage of tests, and the official presentation of the car will take place at the end of September on a motor show in Paris.

Apparently, anything cardinally new will not occur to design Continental GT. Unless it is necessary to wait for occurrence hardly other bumper, the updated radiator enclosure and other head lights. Thanking these innovations Continental GT begins hardly to resemble more on flagman Bentley Mulsanne. Can be changed and a suspender, and here the power unit, most likely, remains precisely same.

Mercedes CL AMG debuts in Moscow

Updating of series Mercedes CL, as one would expect, has come to the end with occurrence restyling super cars such as CL63 AMG and CL65 AMG. The greatest interest represents Mercedes CL63 AMG

Outwardly the car has changed slightly – appears new bumper, updated radiator lattice with one chromeplated horizontal strip, original 19 or 20 inch disks and trapezoidal branch pipes of an exhaust system. In interior innovations more less – a new wheel and slightly changed materials of furnish. But under a cowl instead of the 6,2-litre power unit 5,5-litre a bi-turbo eight capacity of 544 h.p. (800 Nm) with seven-step "robot" SpeedShift MCT is aggregated.

So in the commixed cycle fuel consumption makes 10,5 l on hundred kilometres of run, and blowout СО2 does not exceed 244/km. By itself, the new engine corresponds to norms of Euro-5. Thus dynamic characteristics have considerably improved. Dispersal to first hundred occupies 4,5 sec, and the maximum speed is limited by electronic "collar" on a mark of 250 km/h. But it's all about the base version. Who loves more hot, for 9 400 euros is offered package AMG Performance at which capacity of the motor will increase to 570 h.p. (900 Nm), and first hundred conquest will occupy 4,4 sec. Thus the maximum speed makes 300 km/h.

Version Mercedes CL65 AMG is still equipped 12-cylinders, 6-litre bi-turbo motor which capacity has been increased by 18 h.p. and now reaches 630 h.p. The Diesel twisting moment has not changed and makes impressing 1000 «Nm». Despite bonus 18 h.p. dispersal to first hundred remained at level 4,4 sec, and at achievement of 250 km/h are worked out by the electronic arrester. With the engine which corresponds to norms of Euro-4, in steam five-step "automatic machine" works.

Both cars, as well as all updated family Mercedes CL, debut in the end of August on the Moscow motor show.

Next Ford Focus RS can become a hybrid

Ford Focus RS next generation possible will be completed with the system of a hybrid all wheel drive similar to system Peugeot Hybrid 4.

According to the data received by edition Autocar from "supervising sources" in company Ford, the hybrid system on the basis of two-litre turbo motor EcoBoost is at an early stage of working out. According to plan, the electromotor will be located on a rear axle that will transform RS into an all-wheel drive sports hatchback.

Petrol EcoBoost which is planned to establish under a cowl of model Focus ST, will develop about 250 h.p. In a case with Focus RS its capacity remains same, and the increase among horsepowers will be provided with the electric motor. It is expected that total capacity of two units will make about three hundred horsepowers. Besides, such approach will allow to reduce fuel consumption essentially.

This model will appear on sale next year, and as a power-plant almost same unit as at Cayenne S Hybrid - motor V6 TSI (333 h.p.) begins to work together with 34-kilowatt electric motor located between the motor and a gear box. The power unit will allow Panamera to pass some kilometres exclusively on electropull-rod.

In March of this year on a motor show in Geneva Porsche has already shown non-polluting super car under name 918 Spyder concept. In movement the Spider is resulted by hybrid power-plant – petrol V8 3,4 l capacity of 500 h.p. here work as volume together with two electromotors which give out 218 more h.p. (one motor rotates wheels of the front axle, the second – wheels rear, the petrol engine is in the centre). As a result easy 918 Spyder can be dispersed from a place to 100 km/h only for 3,2 sec, and the maximum speed makes 320 km/h. There is also one more tremendous indicator- a fuel consumption. 918 Spyder, despite the capacity, thanks to presence of electromotors, system KERS and accumulators which can be recharged from the usual socket connection, spends for each 100 km of a way on the average 3 l.

Besides, the car will receive new modern engines series Sky which are now developed in bowels of the Japanese company. These units promise to be not only powerful, but also very economic. So, 2,0-litre motor Sky begins to spend at once for 15 % of less fuel, than present cursors of the same volume. Thus the twisting moment will grow on the same of 15 %. And if to the motor add system stop start, system recuperationof energy for an onboard network, an easy body and thought over aerodynamics it will be possible to speak about expense drop at once on 30 %!
