Porsche is celebrating 60 years of the first Porsche Club that was started by 7 guys in Westphalia, Germany way back on May 26, 1952; 4 years after Porsche started producing cars. A few months later another Porsche club was started by 6 guys; today there are 640 official Porsche clubs with over 180,000 members in 75 countries around the world.
The extremely limited edition car is called the Porsche 911 Club Coupe and is based on the all-new 991 911 Carrera S.
The car that started the “four door coupe” craze now gets a station wagon/estate wagon/shooting brake – you choose what you want to call it. The original CLS was the “four door coupe”, what is Mercedes going to call this? I have a suggestion, how about a “really long 5 door coupe wagon thing”. And since we’re nice people at Unfinished Man, Mercedes, you have out permission to use that description in your marketing material.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake is a very long car with the familiar low-slung roof from the CLS sedan coupe. The car looks awkward but I really like it for some reason. The low-slung back end looks like it has been filled with very heavy cargo and the rear bumper is about to hit the ground but it’s only an optical illusion.
I’m a huge video gamer and not much of a gearhead, so when I found a video of two Smart Fortwos playing a made up game called Eball, I found it pretty damn hilarious when I realized it’s just real life car pong. The idea behind the publicity stunt is awesome: build a giant motion sensitive set of tracks, grab a couple of small cars, erect a giant screen, and let any idiot hop in and smash back and forth trying to control a video game. The reasoning, however, is hilariously stupid, and you don’t need to know cars to see that- obviously, car pong is going to teach you about how AWESOME the electric car is at accelerating. Really, watching tipsy Germans gun clown cars back and forth over a ten foot span is obviously proving how blindingly fast they can go. Yes, the video makes this look as simultaneously stupid and fun as this sounds. Watch after the jump.
Lexus is on a roll coming up with some very aggressive looking car designs lately; earlier this year they showcased the LF-LC Hybrid Concept car at the Detroit Auto Show and now they will bring the all-new Lexus LF-CC Hybrid Concept car to the Paris Motor Show.
Unlike the LF-LC, the Lexus LF-CC looks more production ready, which means it’s not as aggressive looking but still quite aggressive for a Lexus, and the LF-CC could be the base for the upcoming Lexus IS sport sedan/coupe.
Volkswagen introduced an all-new concept at the 2012 Sao Paulo International Motor Show called the Taigun. The Tiguan Taigun is supposed to be a concept but looks pretty production ready based on these pictures below. The compact “SUV” is based on the VW ‘UP!’ and measures in at 151.9 inches in length, 43.9 inches wide, and a height of 39.9 inches making it smaller than the Nissan Juke.
The Taigun will be a four-seater with 9.88 cubic feet of cargo space but can be increased to 34.85 cubic feet of space if the rear bench seats are folded down. This tiny crossover SUV concept is equipped with a prototype version of the VW Up! Hatchback’s 1.0-liter three cylinder direct injected, turbo-charged engine producing 108 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque at only 1,500rpm via a six-speed manual transmission.
For the past few months, I’ve been working with a car rental company and it has allowed me to test drive a lot of different vehicles. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. Because of my experience with all these vehicles over the last few months, I now know which brands or specific models I should be avoiding (Mitsubishi) and which manufacturers delivered more than I was expecting them to.
Out of the American brands, Ford is hands down the best company to go with. It’s great to see that Ford is actually listening to what customers want rather than telling them what they need and shoving it down their throats. One of the vehicles we rent out very frequently is the Ford Fiesta. Although a little too small for my liking, it’s a great looking vehicle which is economical and affordable.
After Ford redesigned and brought back their pony car, Dodge and Chevy soon found themselves copying and the Challenger and Camaro were brought back to life. The muscle car race of the 60’s and 70’s is back in full swing. Out of the three vehicles, the Ford Mustang is still my favorite while the Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro are tied for third. Second spot is reserved for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (although not a “muscle car”).
All three of these muscle cars are sexy in their own way but thanks to Ultimate Auto’s aerodynamics package, the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 is starting to look a lot sexier. The widebody kit for the Challenger features composite body panels which allow space for huge 24-inch wheels which ride on massive 405/25-24 Pirelli tires. It doesn’t look like a comfortable ride but at least it looks pretty badass.
