Autocar Renders BMW X4 Concept HD Song: 50 Cent – Ready For War Instrumental Enjoy & Comment! BMW will abandon decades of tradition and launch its first front-wheel-drive hatchbacks in 2013 as new entry-level models to its range. The new cars will be based on the next-generation Mini platform and be positioned below the 1-series, which will continue in production as a rear-drive family of hatches and saloons. Surprisingly, the new front-drive hatches are also tipped to carry 1-series badges, giving buyers the choice of BMWs entry level with either front or rear-wheel drive. Despite carrying the same badges, the two families of models will be distinguished by unique sheetmetal and price positioning; the rear-drive car will be pitched higher in price and quality than its front-drive stablemate. Despite the clear overlap with the Mini, BMW is not concerned that its own front-wheel drive models will cannibalise sales of the third generation of the British car, due in 2014. Both brands possess a clear and individual image, a BMW insider told Autocar, pointing to the sales success Volkswagen and Audi have achieved with both the Golf and A3. Our research shows BMW and Mini appeal to different buyers. Just as VW and Audi appeal to different audiences, BMW will aim its front-drive and rear-drive 1-series at different buyers. The front-drive model will be designed to attract new customers to the brand. The BMW source said, We want a car that will appeal to non-BMW buyers with a . . .

MAZDA RYUGA CONCEPT
06.08
The Ryuga (pronounced “ree-yoo-ga,” Japanese for gracious flow) is Mazda’s second concept in a series of three it plans to debut this auto show season. The first was the Nagare that debuted in LA, and the last will be unveiled in March at the Geneva show. The Ryuga, however, is here today and stands as a more developed concept than the Nagare, which was a pure exterior design study with no powertrain or interior. The Ryuga expands on the “emotion of motion” concept that debuted with the Nagare, and you can see the elements of flow captured in the car’s sheetmetal. The sweeping lines on the doors, for instance, were inspired by the raked pebbles in a Japanese dry garden (or the lines you leave in a sand trap if you practice proper golf etiquette). The wheels, as well, feature spokes that twist near the hub, as if the torque of the car’s imaginary flex-fuel engine has twisted them. Finally, the color of the Ryuga is meant to evoke flowing lava, with tones and hue that vary from yellow to blue to red depending on the light. We won’t go on about the Ryuga’s styling, suffice it to say that Mazda’s got the best looking concept of the show from what we’ve seen so far. The interior of the Ryuga, in particular, is a work of automobilia art. The dash is dominated by expanses of black leather puncuated with the stark contrast of silver metal. We particularly like the floating, blue-lit gauge pod and open-top steering wheel, as well as the console that pierces the center tunnel. Like . . .

Building on its legacy of bold muscle cars, Ford is introducing a modern, all-American sedan concept that combines “Built Ford Tough” attitude with the sporty elegance of its iconic 1960s sedans. The Ford Interceptor concept comes equipped with a manual six-speed gearbox mated to a Ford Racing 5. 0-liter V-8 Cammer engine that delivers 400 horsepower and runs on E-85 ethanol. “This concept celebrates the best of American muscle, showing customers what ‘modern muscle’ is all about,” said Peter Horbury, executive director – Design, The Americas. “The Interceptor concept is much like a Marine in dress uniform. He looks smart and elegant but you can see the raw power that lies beneath. ” Flexing Modern Muscle The Ford Interceptor concept’s exterior design features substantial, sometimes brutish, surfaces and sections that give the concept its modern, powerful look. The Mustang-based concept features a traditional rear-wheel drive proportion that includes a short front overhang, long rear overhang and extended dash-to-axle ratio. The Ford Interceptor also has a low cabin and higher beltline, adding to the vehicle’s attitude and sense of mystery. “The Ford Interceptor concept is a pure sedan that speaks to performance car lovers everywhere,” said Freeman Thomas, director, North American Strategic Design. “These people might need more space, but they still appreciate the power and attitude that cars like this represent,”
