Paris 2010: 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG mixes Wall Street and Miami Vice

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Paris Motor Show , Mercedes-Benz , Luxury 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG – Click above for high-res image gallery Making the swap from a naturally aspirated 6.3- 6.2-liter V8 to a direct injection, twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 hasn’t at all reduced the Mercedes CL63 AMG ‘s brawny beauty. The standard version gets 544 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Opt for the AMG Performance Package and you boost that to 571 hp and 664 lb-ft. All that power doesn’t come with a bigger fuel price, either: at 22 combined miles per gallon with the help of stop/start and the AMG Speedshift MCT seven-speed sport transmission, the new car posts a 25 percent increase in fuel economy over the 6.2-liter beast

Paris 2010: Opel GTC Paris Concept

Filed under: Concept Cars , Budget , Paris Motor Show , Hatchback Opel GTC Paris Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery If there’s one thing we can count on from the Paris Motor Show , it’s a slew of sexy hatches . Opel was first out of the gate with the GTC Concept which the automaker is pitching as an obtainable sports car that can still haul five people if the need arose. Under that creased hood sits a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine good for an undisclosed amount of pep (we’re hearing 240+ horsepower), though as small as the GTC is, we can’t imagine it would take much to get the hatch to hustle. We’re digging the GTC’s hunkered stance, especially in the rear, where a set of flared hips dominate the vehicle’s design

Filed under: Etc. , Bentley , Design/Style Bentley merchandise collection – Click above for high-res image gallery We’re certainly looking forward to laying our eyes on the new Continental GT when its veil is lifted in Paris . But these days when an automaker is a brand as much as it is a producer of motor vehicles, the new car isn’t the only thing Bentley will have on display at the Port de Versailles this year. Along with its rolling wares, the British automaker will be displaying its full range of branded merchandise
