The Lexus LF-SA city car is an attractive concept (and what isn't?) that the Japanese high-end carmaker unveiled at this year's Geneva Motor Show. The compact three-door city car, which is only 3.4 meters long, exactly half as wide and as tall as a strawberry (1.43 meters), is ideal for urban driving, as it is nimble and dexterous and completely driver-oriented. .
For its latest Aventador LP 750-4 model, Lamborghini revived the SuperVeloce name, which otherwise belongs to a series of vehicles that push the limits of what is possible. In this regard, the Aventador LP 750-4 fully deserves this "rank". It is the fastest Lamborghini ever to leave the factory of this Italian sports car manufacturer, which, in addition to the most powerful engine (a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12), also has a bunch of other superlatives.
As a mid-range model, the new Volkswagen Passat (2015) does not need a specific introduction here, as most Slovenians know it very well. Also due to the fact that in seven generations it has convinced many satisfied customers, and the latest model still stands for a concrete sedan and station wagon of the D-segment. The eighth generation Passat was thus faced with the difficult task of filling the large shoes of its predecessor.
The fifth generation of the British roadster Morgan Aero 8 is a new car from head to toe, but in terms of design, it preserves the legacy of its predecessors. While it's still a classy Morgan first and foremost, it has many upgrades that are closer to today's times than the era from which it draws its inspiration. In it, we find elements that were shunned like the devil of the cross some time ago, but like Pinocchio's nose, the long bonnet and similar relics remain.
After months of playing hide-and-seek, Honda presented the final look of their Civic Type-R road rocket a day before its premiere at Palexpo. This in many ways sets new standards in the segment of small sports cars, and for the first time in this model we are witnessing turbocharging, which gives the 2.0-liter petrol engine additional wings and as much as 228 kW or 310 hp. With such a pedigree, the Civic is currently the fastest "hot hatch" in the segment, if we exclude the RS study Focus at Geneva.
You are all certainly familiar with Formula 1, in which Mercedes-Benz has been active for many years. Less well known is also the competition of the FIA association called GT3, for which the brand with the three-pointed star on its nose is showing its appetite. Later, the racing car was to be followed by a civil version, which with around 600 sparkly crows under the hood was supposed to "ask the pants" of the Porsche 911 GT3.
For car lovers, the first days of March are always exciting, as one of the most important events in the auto industry begins - the Geneva International Motor Show (international motor show). This year's motor show is number 85 in its 110-year history and impresses with presentations of visionary vehicles of the future and new models that will hit the roads in the coming months. We have reviewed some important innovations for you.
Audi Matrix LED headlights have been with us for just under two years, but it seems that there is no end in sight to their potential. That's why the Audi A6 allroad quattro and A6 Avant went almost to the end of the world, to Norway, which, due to the Scandinavian extravagance of darkness, aurora borealis and snowy scenery, seemed like the ideal environment to put the headlights to the ultimate test.
Volkswagen will unveil the off-road-inspired Passat alltrack in Geneva, which will get the expected off-road capability, greater ground clearance and the always standard 4motion drive. Buyers will have a choice of two gasoline TSI and three diesel 2.0 TDI engines and DSG automatic transmission. We can expect the volkswagen passat alltrack in showrooms in September.
Hyundai apparently realizes the confusion caused by the different numerical designations, so it is dropping the ix35 name and reverting to the old Tucson name, for a newcomer to the small SUV class. Tucson will be presented in detail in Geneva.
The Opel Corsa is one of the most successful city cars of all time, as it has been on the road for more than 30 years. The new generation of corsa proves that it does not make sense to excessively change old and successful recipes. With a thorough renovation, it again caught up with its competitors and even overtook them in some segments. On the test, we hosted the most interesting one with a three-cylinder 1.0 ecotec turbo engine, which is, simply put - exciting.
In a few days, Hyundai will drive the somewhat refreshed, but extremely interesting Hyundai i30, which was launched in this generation in 2012. After three years, the designers and engineers decided that it was time for some minor cosmetic corrections.
