First broadcast back in October, the Civic Wagon Concept will be on display at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show along with the newest evolution of the NSX Concept and the CR-V i-DTEC, equipped with the Earth aspirations expertise 1.6 liter diesel engine.

 2013 BMW 3-Series GT

The 5-Series GT is one of the most failed models BMW has ever suggested. although, the company is bound and determined to get the GT formula right and will more than likely be doing so with the new lifetime 3-Series. Rumors for a 3-Series GT began a couple of years ago andnumerous were enticed with the concept of a roomier 3-Series, and renderings started nearlydirectly. Now, the first spy images for the bigger Avant-style vehicle have been apprehended, as the new 3-Series GT has been caught throughout its winter checking somewhere in Europe.

The distinction between the unsuccessful 5-Series GT and the new 3-Series GT is that the last mentioned will drop the twin-door hatch conceive in favor of a normal one piece hatch. It willfurthermore be 15 inches longer than the standard model and offer the added bonus of more headroom due to the firing brake layout. The four-door coupe conceived body will blend a set ofincreased, sliding back chairs with a high raising tailgate that should make accessing the larger cargo locality very trouble-free. This equation may very well make the car a bit more thrivingthan the 5-Series GT.

Under the hood, the upcoming 3-Series GT will be suggested with the identical motor line-up as its sedan male sibling. Customers will have a alternative between four motors - two gasoline and two diesel - with power extending from 163 HP to 306 HP. It is rumored that BMW willfurthermore offered a variety of lesser motors.

The authorized debut will be made next month at the 2013 Geneva Motor display.

 Video: Ferrari F70 Supercar Sounds Amazing

Ferrari will reveal the new F70 — aka the Enzo successor — next month at the Geneva enginedisplay. However, this is still one month away and we are doing all we can to dig up as much information about it as we can up until that issue.

Today, one of our very popular Youtube users, Marchettino, caught an F70 prototype out for achecking meeting and, for the first time, we can hear the 6.3-liter V-12 engine’s astonishingsoundtrack. The car made abounding of full-throttle accelerations at Fiorano racetrack with a Ferrari Enzo next to it. regrettably, it slowed down for every turn, so we didn’t get to glimpse how well it manages – we assume there is a functional cause for the mule’s snail-speed cornering.

To no one’s shock, the sound that the consume scheme emits is similar to the F12berlinetta, as the two supercars share the identical engine, but the F70 has a characteristicly higher consumenote, giving it a more racecar-like sound.

Watch the video and let us understand what you think about the astonishing sound of the F70’s sound.

Mercedes has just announced the supplement of an even more mighty type to its C-Class lineup. Called C63 AMG "Edition 507" – the “507” is a clear suggestion of the engine’s yield - the new model will use much of the identical technology as the SLS AMG supercar. The new components - including forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft - will transform the new version 507 into a more mighty, yet lighter sports form.

The new C63 AMG Edition 507 will furthermore be differentiated by conceive elements glimpsed on forms like the C63 AMG Coupe Black sequence. These extra fashioning components blended with the foreseen power hike decisively get our vigilance.

So, if you occur to be one of those absurd persons that believe the 451-horsepower C63 AMG is just a little too timid for you, the version 507 just might be the car for you. Or perhaps you would favour a fighter jet; better yet, a rocket boat… Yeah, that may persuade your itch for speed!

Along with these alternatives, each form will be suggested with an AMG Performance steering wheel in Alcantara blended with a equipment selector lever in Dinamica.

On the instrument cluster, the trim is done in high-gloss black piano lacquer combined with redsubmissions to the dials. The last components are, of course, the "Edition 507" badge on the trim on the front traveller side.

All these new elements helped save 6.6 pounds, but furthermore substantially increased the engine’s output.

Competitors

BMW M3 GTS

With its 507-horsepower yield grade, the Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507 has left its commoncompetitors well behind. In fact, there is no benchmark BMW M3 out there with the same yieldlevel. Not even the GTS version is not as mighty as the new Edition 507. It is powered by a 4.4 liter V-8 motor with an yield of 450 horsepower. The M3 GTS sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and can hit a top pace of 189 mph, which makes it 0.3 seconds slower to 60 mph, butpresents it a peak pace that is 15 mph faster.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a more mighty C63 AMG, the new version 507 is definitely the car for you. It offers technologies from the SLS supercar and of course, has pretty much no competition on the market. Still, as we have no prices just yet, we cannot notify if the car actually worth.

If the Edition 507 isn’t sufficient for you, we’ll mention you to NASA to try out a rocket ship…
