Ford unveiled the new GT sports coupe in Detroit, which will hit markets across the Atlantic this summer. At that time, with a 3.5-liter ecoboost V6 gasoline engine that develops over 600 hp, it will compete with such super sportsmen as the Ferrari 458 Italia, and in appearance, also the Lamborghini Aventador. But it will greatly surpass both in terms of price.

Miha has been involved in motoring since he was 24 years old, when he took over the position of motoring editor at the then still emerging newspaper Žurnal. In addition, in the following years, he also wrote about everything related to technology and technologies in development, and as an idea leader he also set up many recognizable projects, such as Varčni Voznik, Karting Zvezd and Žurnalov Avto Leta. He is now continuing his journey as a marketing manager at the Volan show, where he takes care of projects such as Red Steering Wheel, Varno za Volanom and the like. One of the main guidelines in his reporting on everything related to technology has always been: ecology, quality of living, as well as the advantages that advanced technology brings to the average person or user.
25 years after the launch of the original Honda NSX, Honda is ready to turn over a new leaf. Namely, buyers on the other side of the Atlantic will soon be offered a modern reincarnation of this sports icon of the 1990s, which shocked the world and the automotive competition upon its arrival on the market.
In the flood of new sub-segments, this time the Swedes surprised with a new one. Namely, they upgraded their limousine and added off-road reinforcements to it and sent it off-road. The Volvo S60 cross country is coming next spring with both four-wheel drive and only two-wheel drive, and there will also be a choice of two powerful engines, one on each side.
Clarkson, Hammond and May - the hosts of the world-renowned motoring show Top Gear, will put the three super sportsmen who made the biggest impact on the car scene in 2014 next to each other in the new season. The LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1 will be compared.
The Toyota aygo brings a lot of freshness and color to the segment of urban toddlers, as well as above-average equipment that even models a size larger would not be able to resist. Thanks to the new chassis, the little one now drives much better, which brings out even more the bouncy three-cylinder engine, which is most at home in the city, and it doesn't even defend the highways. It's just too close to the yaris in terms of price.
Nissan brought the new generation of the off-road capable x-Trail closer to the Qashqai, losing a little in terms of sharpness, but gaining a lot in terms of fashion and performance. Therefore, we are not at all afraid of its market success, although due to the higher price and the previously mentioned similarity with the qashqai, many people will prefer to reach for the cheaper option.
The X4 is the continuation of the story with the X6, with which BMW opened a new sub-segment of a crossover between an SUV and a sports coupe and now extends this concept to the mid-size class. Compared to its bigger brother, it has a few less noses, but it's still a feast for the eyes, and considering the similar spaciousness and usability, I would definitely prefer the first one.
Next summer, GM will offer buyers the super-capable CTS-V, which, with the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine as we know from the Corvette Z06, will be a severe thorn in the fifth German holy trinity in the form of the BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S.
After less than two years and exceptional market success in certain Western European countries, the plug-in hybrid Outlander has found its way to this side of the Alps. The wording PHEV on the side and rear means the main distinguishing difference, and it means the plug-in hybrid version, which combines electric and gasoline drive, and the batteries can be charged (also) via a domestic socket.
Infiniti has revealed the concept vision study it developed together with Sony for the popular gaming franchise Gran Turismo. The Infiniti Vision Gran Turismo supercar can already be purchased for the Gran Turismo 6 game on the Playstation 3 gaming console.
Opel Corsa needs no further introduction to Slovenians, as it has been one of the best-selling models in the C-segment for decades, which is also eloquently demonstrated by the sales figures. 1,100 vehicles sold on average per year are big shoes that the fifth generation Corsa has just stepped into, and from what we've seen, it will be able to fill them.
For some time, the Mini Countryman has been considered the largest mini model, which can also satisfy the basic family needs and the customer's wishes for easier entry and higher seating. However, when the cooper SD ALL4 is added to its name, it means even more sporty driving, even off-road, and economical consumption.
