Report: Porsche really, really wants to build 918 Spyder. Really.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Concept Cars , Convertible , Hybrid , Performance , Porsche Porsche 918 Spyder Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery We still haven’t stopped drooling over the Porsche 918 Spyder concept , a car that debuted at this year’s Geneva Motor Show . It’s a sexy infusion of both Boxster and Carrera GT influences, with a dash of hybrid power thrown in for good measure. What’s not to love about a 500-horsepower, V8-powered roadster that can hit 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds?

Source: Next-gen Ford Police Interceptor will debut this Friday in Las Vegas

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Concept Cars , Sedan , Government/Legal , Work , Ford , Specialty Hold on to your sap gloves and night sticks – it’s that time of the decade! An Autoblog source reveals that Ford is about to release a brand spankin’ new Police Interceptor . Not only is this humongous news for our pals in the law enforcement community, but this is 120-point headline font for taxi companies around the country, as they typically buy old Police Interceptors with 90,000 miles on ‘em and repurpose them as the cabs we all know and love passing out in. Why? Because Police Interceptors are the toughest passenger cars money can buy.

Video: C/D takes the Lotus Evora Hybrid for a virtual spin

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Concept Cars , Coupe , Hybrid , Geneva Motor Show , Technology , Videos , Lotus The manufactured sounds of the Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid – Click above to watch video after the jump Two years ago, we wrote about Lotus ‘ Safe and Sound hybrid technology which added a V8 soundtrack over the quietude of a hybrid’s electric motor. That demonstrator was a Toyota Prius, but at the Geneva Motor Show Lotus had an Evora 414E Hybrid equipped with several versions of aural enjoyment: a V6, a V12 and a non-ICE audio stab at what an electric car could maybe possibly sound like. Think Buck Rogers. Car and Driver magazine’s technical editor Michael Austin sat with a Lotus engineer and tried it out
