Opel Zafira Tourer

Opel presents the new Zafira Tourer, Which will debut officially at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The images confirm the close relationship with the concept unveiled in Geneva and the stylistic kinship with the latest models from the German, as Ampera and Insignia. Since the latter are also inherited a lot of technical equipment, but also a level of quality "premium" that has distanced itself from its predecessor. Among the factors that contribute to increase the feeling of space and comfort stands out the optional panoramic windscreen, similar to that submitted in 2005 on the Astra GTC.

The Zafira Tourer offers the system Flex7 new generation on board to accommodate up to 7 people with a modular space: the third row can be folded at the bottom to create a flat luggage floor, while the second row no longer has a single sofa, but three individual seats with 210 mm longitudinal adjustment. The center seat can turn into an armrest, so you can move the seats to 50 mm lateral to the interior and increasing the longitudinal adjustment of up to 280 mm, resulting in a cabin very comfortable for 4 people.

The Zafira Tourer will be offered at launch with the 2-liter 4-cylinder diesel version of CTDI 110, 130 and 165 hp and the 1.4 Turbo petrol 120 and 140 hp, with manual and automatic.

Opel Astra GTC Version

Opel presents the new Astra GTC, Coupe version of the Astra range, which begins in September to Frankfurt Motor Show. The sportiness of the model is highlighted by some technical choices, such as the unique front suspension HiPerStrut (High Performance Strut) derived from Insignia OPC, While the rear axle torque is the pattern with Watt other versions of Astra. GTC will also be available on the structure FlexRide electronically controlled with standard settings, Tour and Sport.

Designed to emphasize the aggressive style, the GTC does not share any body panels with the 5-door, to which it has a pitch larger than 10 mm, while the front track increased by 40 mm and 30 mm at the rear. The structure is lower than 15 mm compared to the hatchback, while the alloy wheels from 18 "to 20" underline the sporty. The interior is still comfortable for five passengers and the boot offers one of the best segment of capacities with values between 370 and 1235 liters, while in the cockpit have increased by 50% storage space compared to previous-generation coupe.

The range will consist of three engines and a diesel petrol versions, but already in Frankfurt will be announced new versions: the more evil OPC we will have to wait until 2012. At launch the only diesel engine will be the 2-liter CDTI 165 hp and 380 Nm of torque, paired with 6-speed manual gearbox and the Start / Stop system. Faced with an average consumption of 4.9 l/100 km and 129 g / km of CO2, this version touches the 210 km / h to 100 km / h acceleration in 5.9 seconds.

Opel Astra Cabriolet

A few hours after deployment of the first official teaser, we offer the latest spy photos of the new Opel Astra Cabriolet. After the experience of the previous model TwinTop with a retractable hardtop, the leaders of the German company Decided to return to the classic soft top without Sacrificing space for 4 people with a roomy trunk, as evidenced by the important volume back. The front and other design details inspired by the Astra GTC Unveiled soon coupe, with lines stretched headlights and more tapered Than The hatchback and wagon versions.

2011 New Citroen DS4 Crossover Review

2011-05-27T04:48:00.000-07:00

2011 New Citroen DS4

It's the next stage in Citroen's DS range, following the likable and successful DS3. The DS4 is derived from the recently-launched and unremarkable C4, and like the DS3 it brings an upmarket cabin ambiance and lots of design flourishes. This time, however, instead of a sporty three-door hatchback it's a five-door with a highish 'crossover' stance, a coupe-like roof line and hidden rear door handles. Despite that unpromising loftiness, the idea is that the DS4 should be a rousing drive for the keen driver.

Technical Highlights

The DS4 weighs no more than the lower-set C4, nor indeed than the previous-generation C4. It has a simple torsion-beam rear suspension but great things are promised of it. The steering uses hydraulic rather than electric assistance, although electricity powers the pump. The usual PSA engine range consists of three 1.6-litre petrol units (118, 154 and 197bhp, the last two turbocharged) and two turbo diesels (108bhp 1.6 and 158bhp 2.0). The rear windows don't open – as is obvious when you see that the glass would have nowhere to go. This saves 3kg per door.

What's it like to drive?

Expectations were mixed, because the DS3 is a satisfying drive and the C4 is a bit of a dullard. But within a mile or two of driving the DS4, you wonder if Citroen deliberately made the C4 worse than it should be just to emphasis how good the DS4 is. Because it is a genuinely entertaining drive, with a deft precision I really wasn't expecting given the relatively lofty build.

It leans little on entry into corners, but this is achieved not by extra-stiff anti-roll bars, which would ruin the ride, but by unusually well-judged damping which keeps the big-wheeled DS4 supple over bumps but beautifully controlled in its body movements. The steering is precise and feels natural in its progressive build-up of weighting, and the front wheels track keenly around a tightening bend. You can lean hard on the DS4 and not run out of bite.

The 197bhp petrol engine, similar to that in the Citron DS3 Racing and Mini John Cooper Works, is as crisp and feisty as ever with ample torque, smooth rev ability and great overtaking ability. Cruising is quiet and serene, and the DS4 is very comfortable. Figures? Top speed 146mph, 0-62mph in 7.9sec, 149g/km CO2. Fast enough for most needs, then.

2011 Lancia Ypsilon Performance

2011-05-27T04:34:00.000-07:00

Lancia Ypsilon

An unusually good question. Lancia Ypsilon, in various forms since 1985, and this is the latest one now with five doors instead of three (the rear ones' open ability is cunningly concealed) and underpinnings which are effectively those of a Fiat 500 stretched by 90mm. The Ypsilon is intended to 'liberate luxury' and make it accessible to all, so there are padded panels, some posh leather options, two-tone paint treatments and so on. Of sporting intent there is none, because the idea is alien to Lancia's new brand message.

But we in the UK (and Ireland) don't get this car. Instead we get a Chrysler Ypsilon which, apart from badges and right-hand drive, is identical. This is because Lancia is a dead duck in the UK while Chrysler shows signs of a pulse, and Fiat Auto now controls Chrysler. We're going to get a Chrysler-badged Delta, too, the two cars handily filling in the range beneath the 300C and Voyager. The Ypsilon doesn't look like a miniature PT Cruiser at all, though. Not in the slightest.

Does all this make the Chrysler Ypsilon Italian, American or what? Perhaps we should have a poll.

Technical Highlights

The tastiest part is the 875cc, 84bhp, turbocharged two-cylinder TwinAir engine, here called upon to shift more weight than in the Fiat 500 (although the Ypsilon so powered still manages to stay under a tonne). Other engines are a 68bhp 1.2 and a 1.3-litre, 94bhp turbodiesel. Of 1.4-litre MultiAirs there is strangely no sign.

What's it like to drive?

A Chrysler-badged display car impressed greatly with its soft, vinyl-skinned moldings for dashboard, glove-box, center console and door casings, complementing the padded leather and vinyl elsewhere. This was quite the little luxury car. Sadly, the production cars on the test drive lacked this soft skin and the luxury aura was largely lost. Still, the optional leather looked good and the central instrument cluster is unusual. There's optionally a vast glass roof panel.

The TwinAir engine is less impressive here than in the smaller 500, although still remarkable for 875cc. Its two-pot chugs are at odds with the intended upmarket impression, but against that maybe this Ypsilon will help buyers alter their preconceptions. The 1.3 turbo diesel is ultimately quicker but the engine's gruff thrum isn't appealing. The electric power steering feels odd in light City mode, acceptable otherwise, while the handling is soft-edged and the ride similar.

1939 Aston Martin 161 'Brooklands' Speed Model

2011-05-27T03:25:00.000-07:00

1939 Aston Martin

A one off racing car built by the Aston Martin Motors Ltd. for the Brooklands outer circuit with narrowed Speed Model chassis and narrow track.

This unique ex.works Aston Martin has been raced very successfully by Andy Bell, including at Goodwood (2006, 2nd overall) and at Leguna Seca in the USA, where it also appeared at the famous Pebble Beach Concours.
When rebuilt this car was almost like new and clearly had done very few road miles, probably less than 20,000 miles in total. A proven race winner this is the fastest normally aspirated Aston Martin in the world. A very important piece of Aston Martin history and the only purpose built racing car produced by the works before the war.
Eligible for both the Mille Miglia and Le Mans Classic this important Aston Martin is offered for sale in race or rally ready condition with a recent engine overhaul and chassis service.
The car will come with a huge history file including period photos, programmes from all its major races since 1950, and letters from Gordon Sutherland explaining how and why he had the car built in 1939.
