Three newly-developed direct-injection engines are now available for the European-spec BlueEfficiency version of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. They are the most fuel-efficient engines ever for the C-Class, and developed using traditional technology rather than a hybrid system.
AC Schnitzer has unveiled their new range of mods for the 2009 versions of the Mini Cooper Convertible and the Mini Cooper S Convertible.
European Porsche tuner Gemballa likes to refer themselves as a true car manufacturer. And they have now created what they call the “ultimate super sports car,” naming it the Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition. Of course, it is easy to see that it is based on the Porsche Carrera GT.
The Porsche Cayenne has been aging ungracefully but is still selling well due to its badge. But Porsche is already testing a replacement, and has been caught numerous times on European roads in minor camouflage.
Very few know about this, but the Alfa Romeo MiTo is available in the UAE. It costs as much as an SUV, but it is not worth the price at all when it comes to performance. It looks like European tuner Novitec had the same idea, and gave the dorky MiTo a boost.
The latest 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan is probably the ugliest iteration of the German firm’s legendary bestseller. Indeed, no one expected the new-generation model’s Estate wagon version to look any better either. And they were right.
It has always been obvious that Volkswagen’s designers have no creativity whatsoever, coming up with boring cars and hoping the marketing department can trick naive people into thinking they are cool. Take, for example, their latest “special edition” VW Eos. They named it the Eos White Night, except that the only change involves a white car with a cheesy black-painted roof that makes its folding hard-top look like a cloth roof.
While we never got to drive it for stupid reasons, the 2009 BMW M3 Coupé continues its development. It is going to be offered in special versions under the “M3 Edition Models” banner, offering a choice of four customised cars.
Back before World War II, BMW had identified a certain niche of people who had a yearning for a specific kind of car. “These are people who, once they see an aerodynamic car body with a long and sleek engine compartment, as well as a speedometer extending all the way to 150 kph, feel that strong yearning for wide open roads simply perfect for driving fast, for Alpine passes just begging to be conquered, and for competitors so easy to overtake.” Those were words spoken by BMW when they launched their first roadster in 1934.
BMW’s Dubai dealerships are now offering the all-new GCC-spec 2009 BMW Z4. The new model comes with three engine choices and a standard folding hard-top convertible roof, while also moving up a class in the roadster market.
