Geneva 09' Preview: BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo Unveiled

BMW is out to create another vehicle that no one has yet to ask for with its 5 Series Gran Turismo Concept, which BMW refers to as a Progressive Activity Sedan.

The concept is neither a sedan, wagon or SUV, instead its a combination of all three vehicles. It's overall shape is similar to the X6, but with a lower ride height. One interesting feature is the two-piece double-jointed tailgate. Just like the X6, the Concept only has room for 4 passengers.

Just like past BMW's concepts, the production model is expected to be very close to what we see here and is expected to be released sometime in 2010.

2010 Porsche 911 GT3 Officially Unveiled

Porsche has officially unveiled the 2010 911 GT3 that will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The 911 GT3 is powered by a 3.8L naturally-aspirated six-cylinder that puts out 435 horsepower, which is up 20. The increased horsepower and mid-range torque help the GT3 reach 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph.

For the first time ever the 911 GT3 comes with a variant of PSM Porsche Stability Management, which offers the driver the option to deactivate the stability and traction control. Both systems will not turn back on either, until the driver decides to do so, even in the most extreme conditions.

The 2010 911 GT3 will be available in U.S. showrooms this October with a starting price of $112,000.

Audi A4 DTM Takes 1-2-3 on 2008 Race Debut Podium

This weekend saw the debut of the 4^th generation Audi A4 DTM at the season opener at Hockenheim and once again the Audi can celebrate another racing success with a commanding 1-2-3 finish with Mattias Ekström (the Swede BALLER) taking the flag ahead of Timo Scheider and Tom Kristensen in 2^nd and 3^rd place respectively.

The new A4 DTM which made a brief appearance back at the Geneva Motor Show features a number of new innovative features with particular attention focused on the aerodynamics. The Engineers used CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculations to work on the vehicle’s airflow and the technology specialists have managed to lower the center of gravity as well as reduce the overall dry weight of the car. Power comes courtesy of the 4.0L - V8 engine pumping out 460hp!

Audi have well and truly taken bragging rights after this first race, race winner Mattias Ekström averaged over half a second quicker per lap over the fastest Mercedes of the day! This latest victory also takes Mattias Ekström (the Swede BALLER) to 11 career wins making him the most successful DTM racer of all time.
