General Motors drove its new 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck out for all to see. To refresh your memory, the Canyon is GMC's new midsize pickup.a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque on the base end, and a larger 3.6-liter V6 with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft as an option. The Colorado's 2.8-liter diesel inline four-cylinder will be available after launch. Both two- and four-wheel drive configurations will be available, depending on the model.

Chrysler 200 sheds its frumpy past, V6 comes with AWD standard. Its No longer look like a cursed rental car, it looks like something you'd actually want to drive.There are muscular creases on the hood as well, upping the style ante on Chrysler's family sedan. In back, full LED taillights are standard. The Italian Styling is visible. (Fiat owns Chrysler)

Chrysler's 2.4-liter Tigershark four-cylinder and venerable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will provide thrust for the new sedan, with the base mill providing a preliminary estimate of 184 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque at 6,250 and 4,600 rpm, respectively. That's roughly the same amount of oomph it generates in both the Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Dart GT. For those who want a bit more performance in their 200, the 295-hp, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be the engine of choice. With 262 lb-ft of torque available at 4,250 rpm (peak horsepower comes in at 6,350) and a redline of 6,400 rpm, the Pentastar should be able to haul the 3,473-pound 200 around without much difficulty. The performance of the V6 could be getting a boost, as well, as Chrysler has hinted that the engine may make power when the engine is fed premium fuel, although it isn't prepared to share any numbers as of this writing.Chrysler spent more time refining the 200's aerodynamics than any other car in the company's history.

Toyota FT 1

[fazalwahab11375]

No Idea if FT 1 will go in production. Right now a concept car. Might be a successor of Supra

VW's new three-row, seven-seat crossover is part of an ambitious expansion plan on the part of Volkswagen and Audi in North America, where the two brands aim to sell a million vehicles by 2018. The Mid size new SUV will be out by 2016 and will be manufactured in USA.

After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.The new Z06 engine is just an inch taller than the LT1 in the Corvette Stingray, and there are few more powerful inches in the world: the LT4 is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 producing "at least" 625 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque. The integrated 1.7-liter Eaton supercharger and intercooler sit in the engine's vee, that blower spinning beyond the ZR1's supercharger limit of 15,000 up to 20,000 rpm and utilizing shorter rotors to get up to speed more quickly.
The Z06 will shift through either a seven-speed manual or the all-new 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission that we thought was going into the Corvette and not into the Z06. It's a conventional automatic with a torque converter overseeing four gearsets and five clutches, and it's lighter than the six-speed in the Stingray while fitting in the same space.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City.
Porsche was pushing the Targa as the best 911 option for all climates, so the inclusion of all-wheel drive makes an element of sense. It also, no doubt, adds to the bottom line of the car ? the Targa 4 starts at $101,600 and the Targa 4S asks $116,200.
The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.

The crossover (https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/news-articles-driver-education-safety/224147-mercedes-benz-gla-class ) sits low to the ground, offers up a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 355 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and standard all-wheel drive. There's a so-called Curve Dynamic Assist function to keep the baby Benz 'ute stuck to the ground, which is nice, and a Race Start function for quick getaways that allows the GLA45 AMG to run from 0-60 in just 4.8 seconds.

.BMW M3 ( https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/cool-classic-cars-latest/226361-2015-bmw-m3-m4 ) is fast for the family man. The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).

All to follow the lime-line of Audi.

W Beetle Dune Concept is a high-ridin' dirty Bug.Those with long memories will recall that this isn't the first time VW has put its reborn retrocar on stilts.he Dune Concept is, as Volkswagen says in its press release below, a "Baja Bug for the 21st century." Using the Beetle R-Line and its 210-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and six-speed dual-clutch transmission as its base, the Dune sports an extra two inches of ground clearance, while also being wider, 0.8 inches taller and half-an-inch longer than the production model.

2015 BMW M4 Coupe ditches some doors, gains some grunt. it's pretty much just the M3 with two less doors, but that doesn't make it any less important – or potent. Power comes from a turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, sending 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.Not only is the M4 more powerful than the M3 Coupe it replaces, it's a good deal lighter, too. BMW has managed to cut 176 pounds of weight out of the M4, and that means, with the increased output numbers, that the M4 will scoot to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds with the DCT or 4.1 seconds with the do-it-yourself tranny. Either way, that's not what we'd call slow.

Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge Concept. Infiniti president Johan de Nysschen offers a hint: "If we built this car I would expect it to feature over 500 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque," power arrived at via "a big personality, V-cylinder engine with forced induction."

New FIT released earlier last year in Tokyo https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/news-articles-driver-education-safety/225217-2014-honda-jazz-fit-rs

The Fit may be Honda's smallest (and, starting at $15k, most cost-effective) model, but it has never sold in quantities that even approach those of the brand's larger offerings – at least not in the United States. Where American Honda typically sells hundreds of thousands of Civic and Accord models.The North American Fit ditches the hybrid setup offered in the JDM model in favor of a new Earthdreams 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with direction injection and i-VTEC valve timing to help it deliver 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. That's 13 more horses and 8 more torques than the previous model, and the engine can be paired to either a six-speed manual or Honda's new continuously variable transmission. With the latter, Honda projects the Fit will get 33 miles per gallon in the city, 41 on the highway and 36 on the combined cycle.
