Gone is the naturally aspirated, transverse-mounted V6, replaced with a longitudinally mounted, turbocharged, dry-sump V6 that produces "north of 550 horsepower," Three electric motors, 2 in front and one in rear axle. According to Acura brass. As before, the internal combustion mill works with three electric motors to deliver power to all four wheels. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, indeed – or, as Acura refers to it in this application, Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. The NSX is estimated to start at around $150,000. NSX Production starts Fall 2015 while pre-orders starts June 2015.

Tesla and mustang [emoji106]
Ford GT, not so much. It's like it used win races and all but that was years ago. They should move on rather then using tail lights from Ferrari and aerodynamics from a lambo.

Infiniti Q60 Concept Revealed With V6 Turbo

Borrowing design elements from both the Q50 Eau Rogue and Q80 Inspiration Concepts, the Q60 is a thinly veiled preview of Infiniti’s follow-up to the G37 Coupe and Q60. .0-liter direct injected twin-turbo V6 showcased in the Q80 Inspiration concept last year. Infiniti didn’t discuss horsepower ratings in this application, but in the Q80 it supposedly makes 450 hp before you account for its hybrid system. With any luck, that will mean the production version of this car will be particularly potent. While this is still only officially a concept car, Infiniti plans to begin building the next Q60 in 2016.

A big portion of the model's improvements come from Chevy's second-gen Voltec propulsion system. The updated drive unit is 12 percent more efficient and sheds 100 pounds from the scales. The battery itself also drops 21 pounds, while growing in capacity to 18.3 kilowatt hours. It gives the Volt an electric range of up to 50 miles and offers a total driving distance of over 400 miles. A 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine serves as the car’s range extender. It’s the first application of this new powerplant family in North America. With direct injection and a 12.5-to-1 compression ratio it puts out 101 hp on its own and should deliver a combined fuel-economy rating of 41 MPG. Fortunately for drivers it runs on regular-grade gasoline, unlike today’s Volt, which requires premium. Combining the output figures of its electric motors and gasoline engine this car has a total of 149 hp and 294 lb-ft of torque.

C450 AMG 4MATIC.

Not a full-fledged AMG product, the C450 is part of a new AMG Sport line that utilizes some components from AMG models to add a little more sport to regular models. Think of it as BMW’s M Sport line versus full-fledged M models.

Based on the C 400 sedan, the C450 wears AMG badging on the front fenders as well as a host exterior upgrades including a revised front bumper, diamond mesh intake covers, a rear diffuser and trunk lid mounted spoiler. Inside, performance seats with the ubiquitous AMG badges stitched into them are standard.


But the C450 AMG is more than just an appearance package. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine has been upgraded to now produce 362 hp and an impressive 384 lb-ft. of torque. With permanent all-wheel drive that sends 33 percent of the power to the front wheels and 67 percent to the rears, Mercedes claims the C450 AMG will run from 0 to 60 mph of 4.9 seconds. Many suspension components from the C 63 AMG have been incorporated onto the C450 which wears 225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear tires. Keeping with the AMG theme, a new sports exhaust system has been equipped to the car to ensure the higher pressure turbo V6 can be heard.

2016 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe Takes Aim at X6 M (Learn More https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/cool-classic-cars-latest/245384-mercedes-benz-gle-amg-coupe )

This is Daimler’s answer to the X6 M from BMW and accordingly, it is powered by a turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 that makes 577 hp at 5,500 RPM and 561 lb-ft of torque from 1,750 to 5,250 RPM. That’s good enough to reach 60 MPH in 4.2 seconds by sending power through Mercedes’ ubiquitous seven-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels with 60 percent of the power distributed to the back.Like other AMG products, Mercedes offers an optional sport exhaust that makes the exhaust sound louder and lends the engine more room to breathe.

Similarly, the GLE63 S is also available with an air suspension and enhanced suspension components that Mercedes says will lend it significantly enhanced handling over the normal GLE. Finally the interior is also upgraded with suede on the steering wheel, carbon fiber panels, sport seats trimmed in Napa leather. The GLE63 S is also equipped with a long list of high-end safety features including adaptive braking, collision alert and a surround view camera.

[U]Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid

[/U]

The company announced today during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show that it plans to release a plug-in hybrid model called the C350 Plug-In Hybrid. It relies on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and electric powertrain that puts out a total of 275 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque through a seven-speed automatic transmission. At the same time it is capable of traveling up to 20 miles without using gasoline.


Mercedes includes an air suspension and a pre-entry climate control system that owners will be able to use to set the cabin temperature ahead of time over an Internet connection. This is the seconds plug-in hybrid vehicle for Mercedes following its introduction of the PHEV S-Class in Paris late last year. Today the company said it plans to launch a total of 10 plug-in hybrids through 2017. The 6.2 kW lithium ion battery pack in this vehicle weighs roughly 220 lbs and is located under the rear axle, a choice Mercedes said it made to maximize crash safety. Of course, the pack can be replenished via a wall charger.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS

Launching in the US in late-April, 2015, for $133,900, , this high-performance Targa benefits from all of the goodies from Porsche's GTS line. That gives it a 3.8-liter flat-six boasting 424 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of twist, and the choice of either a seven-speed PDK or seven-speed manual. The model also gets the Sport Chrono package, PASM, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust. Picking the PDK means the Targa 4 GTS can hit a top speed of 188 miles per hour and sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Opting for the manual makes the run to 60 take a few more ticks at 4.5 seconds and scarcely cuts the top speed to 187 mph.

The 2016 Q3 adopts the new Audi single-frame grille that was first shown on the redesigned Audi Q7, and takes up a slightly more modern appearance overall. The headlights are also redesigned with new LED accents, and the reshaped LED taillights round out the mostly unnoticeable changes to the Q3’s rear end.
The interior continues on virtually unchanged, and we’re a bit surprised that Audi did not put its new MMI infotainment interface into the 2016 Q3. It soldiers on with the slightly dated version of MMI that does without the newer system’s touchpad and improved control interface.

Apart from the appearance changes, Audi has also revised the 2016 Audi Q3’s powertrain offerings, which, in Europe, include a whole range of gasoline and diesel engines between 1.4- and 2.5-liters. The 2.0T gasoline four-cylinder that’s currently the only engine offered in the U.S.-market Q3 gains 20 hp for a total of 220, and now mates with a six-speed DSG transmission as opposed to the current Q3’s traditional six-speed automatic. We don’t know yet whether the 2016 Audi Q3 will gain a diesel option for the U.S., but if so, the 2.0 TDI engine found in numerous other Volkswagen/Audi products is a likely bet.

2016 Toyota Tacoma

The new 2016 Tacoma will be available with an all-new 3.5-liter V6 Atkinson cycle engine that uses Toyota’s D-4S technology, featuring both direct and port fuel injection. Based on the 3.5-liter V6 in other Toyota applications, the engine is expected to produce roughly 300 HP and 280 lb-ft of torque.


There will be a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine available with the truck as well. Power from both engines will be sent through a new six-speed automatic transmission while the V6 can be paired to a new six-speed manual. The insides of the truck get an overhaul as well, with the list of new features including wireless device charging, a push-button ignition, leather seat upholstery, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a new touchscreen audio unit and blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert. Toyota also says the truck is quieter on the inside thanks to the use of enhanced seals, a multi-layer acoustic windshield, sound-absorbing headliner and a floor silencer pad.
