Jaguar goes on a trip to Los Angeles and takes note, the XFR-S. The expectations of the British performance sedan are high because we still know very well what the XKR-S is capable of.

The XFR-S will be after the second Jaguar XKR-S that the RS emblem bears a label that stands for the very fastest and most powerful Jaguars. Judging from the previous year launched XKR-S, we suspect a power of 550 hp and 680 Nm for the new top of the line XF. A must also wants the Jaguar BMW M5, the Mercedes E 63 AMG and the (forthcoming) Audi RS6 firing seemed to explain. Interesting detail: reportedly bought Jaguar prior to the development of the XFR-S, an M5 to explore how this super sedan BMW builds.

Surf Blue
it must be really odds are in Los Angeles, the Jaguar XFR-S not surf blue shine, gradually the color of RS. The exaggerated appearance is easy to predict. A burly, aerodynamic front spoiler - which we already partly with this first picture to see - including a rear spoiler and diffuser are actually functional Zoal the visual characteristics. Especially we are wondering what Jaguar has managed to create the soundtrack. In the XKR-S was this fact very popular.

Europes mortal commercialism pick-up and its SUV sibling since its commence - the 2010 Nissan Navara tally been assumption a mid-term aid with a confine of large enhancements designed to resource them at the top. Among the changes are the traveler of a new and technically progressive 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine; main improvements to the fashionable 2.5-litre dCi engineer; greater levels of resistless hit; new equipment including the availability of a state-of-the-art Nissan Unite Payment touch-screen equipment steering scheme, a reward Bose say system and a place orientation camera; enhanced surface propertied and a symbol of styling changes to rest Navara and Pathfinder superficial shrewd. Launched at the Hollands Locomote Show, the restored new-look Nissan Navara models are due on marketing crosswise Assemblage in Apr 2010. They instrument be followed two months later by the new 3.0-litre V6 engineer flagship models. The new plainspoken solution V6 turbodiesel has been industrial by the Renault Nissan Fusion to give piping levels of execution with stiff frugality, rivalrous emissions and class-leading flawlessness. The key environs of the new V6 - with an uncommon vee predetermine of 65 degrees - is the crucial choson for the engine bar. Coalition developing engineers chose Compacted Carbon Bond (CGI), a crucial that offers all the benefits of throw irons, including screaky levels of stiffness and noise sorption, without the weight penalty. And patch CGI is heavier than a undefiled mixture withhold there is no pauperization to add activity ribs or unneeded measure deadening touchable so the coefficient make is comparatively discreet gained during the process of the Fusion 2.0-litre dCi engine - and carrying over whatsoever discipline - accelerated usage of the new V6, but size of meaningful changes mortal been prefabricated to the hardware for the V9X. The oxidization chamber programme, for representation, has been optimised to alter the match between emission levels and fuel efficiency. The compressing ratio has been down to 16:1 to good not honourable frugality and emissions but also noise, motility and rigour (NVH), piece intrinsic engine friction is reduced by the use of ultra satiny components specified as the micro-finished imitative poise victimised for the crankshaft.

Volkswagen has releases the new Passat Alltrack,which will debut at the Tokyo Motor show next week. The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack will come equipped with all-wheel drive as standard in the UK and will sit between the Passat estate and the Tiguan in VW’s line-up.

Tata Motors unveiled the new Pixel concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The PIXEL will be powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder diesel engine. With clever technology, the city car will have class leading turning circle radius.

This car which is at its premature stage will be primarily made for the European market. It features three Gull winged doors (doors which open in the direction of the sky) and is built on the Nano base which means it’s around 3 meter but comes with better equipped and large interiors keeping in mind the European market. The unveiling will be done by Chairman Mr Ratan Tata.

The Tata Pixel, a new city car concept for Europe

• Most package efficient four-seater in the world
• Zero turn drive maximizes manoeuvrability when parking
• Innovative scissor door system allows entry and exit in the tightest of spaces
• CO2 emissions of just 89 gm/km and combined cycle fuel economy of 3.4 litres/100km

The Tata Pixel, with Zero Turn drive and an innovative diamond-shaped door system, is a new city car concept for Europe from Tata Motors. Based on the Tata Nano, the Pixel - at just over three metres in length - is the most package efficient four-seater in the world, comfortably accommodating four adults, unlike a typical city car which is either a two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only.

The Tata Pixels ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). This highly efficient, cost-effective system assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed manoeuvres, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. The result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The glass area on the scissor doors provides excellent visibility even in the most extreme turning manoeuvre.

The scissor doors rotate upwards from the front to allow all four passengers to effortlessly enter or exit the Tata Pixel, even in the tightest of spaces, while the doors large glass area provides excellent visibility.

A forward sweeping roofline, with minimal front and rear overhangs, accentuates the youthful styling, while the window graphic features an interchangeable island that can be used to change the exterior appearance whenever desired.

The Tata Pixel also introduces My Tata Connect -- the first integrated human-machine interface (HMI) concept from Tata Motors for its new generation programmes. My Tata Connect enables seamless integration of the users smartphone or tablet with the vehicles infotainment system and also allows controlling key functions of the car. This provides a customised, user friendly, all-in-one touch screen display, while also allowing the driver to remain seamlessly connected to the external world in much the same way as they would be when at home or in the office, listening to favourite songs, internet news and sport or stock updates. In addition to serving as the infotainment display when docked in the instrument panel, the tablet also allows temperature, ventilation and air-conditioning settings to be adjusted through its touch screen, as well as displaying information on the vehicles performance.

A 1.2 litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, positioned at the rear of the Tata Pixel, gives lively performance. The engine is a low-friction design, featuring variable coolant and oil pump and rapid warm-up technologies. With optimised aerodynamic drag, low rolling-resistance tyres, stop-start technology, and intelligent battery charging, the Tata Pixel returns European combined cycle (NEDC) fuel economy of 3.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.
