Are you the facelifted 2012 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

Now that we’ve seen the facelifted 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class in its bread-and-butter C250, C300 and C350 forms, it’s time to start thinking about the holier-than-thou, unabashedly hardcore C63 AMG. The folks at Germany’s EvoCars have stumbled upon what appear to be production-spec images of the AMG-laden 2012 C-Class, and while the brash bulginess of the current car has been toned down somewhat, there’s certainly nothing sedate about this new menacing Merc.

The biggest question about the next-generation C63 is whether or not Mercedes-Benz will ditch the current car’s glorious naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 in favor of the new twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter mill that will be used in the CL63, S63 and CLS63. EvoCars states that only the new C63 AMG Coupe will receive the 5.5-liter heart, and that power of the 6.2 will be bumped up for use in the sedan. Still, with either engine, we’re sure the C63 will be as lively as ever out on the road.

Ford Sensors are the future

Ford predicts that biometric sensors an increasingly important role to play in the car world. Thus the brand busy experimenting with bleeps and screens.

Biometric sensors must example the stress level of the driver to monitor.

With the information you gather as car, certain safety systems on your current status are aligned. But thats not all.

The American brand is in fact busy to develop systems by means of radar and camera techniques everything outside the car watching.

Think about the weather, how much light and cars to your vehicle back. This information is your Ford carefully analyzed.

Tense
On the basis of these data estimates the car or in your tense, concentrated or very quietly behind the wheel. If youre so tense as a feather appear, then choose the intelligent system, for example, to completely ignore incoming calls.

Ford researchers are also working to see if the driver behavior can be predicted. This makes it possible to control the systems that affect vehicle while driving to match the driver.

Plug-in hybrids will also get the opportunity to remember where often charged. If you are one of these locations approaching then choose your hybrid sure to fully drive on electricity.

For now most of these new developments are still in their infancy. It will therefore be some time before we ever more control over to the car.

Qoros Vehicle the Chinese car are coming

We can jump to high or low, the Chinese are coming! Currently in Europe there are still few car manufacturers that vast Asian country, but that will change gradually. Take the Chinese Qoros. This has serious plans with three European tastes cut models.

 At this time we take the few Chinese car brands that currently are not very serious in the "Western" world car. Their cars can not nearly match the seasoned car manufacturers. Not yet. But look at a Chinese car five years ago and one of nowadays and you probably arrange for the steps they have taken.

Geneva
Qoros, a Chinese car brand that was founded in 2007 after a joint venture between the Chinese Chery and Israel Corporation, thinks its ready to be competitive and at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show they mean to prove. In early March 2013, they were in Switzerland their first of a total of three new models (preliminary) reveal. The other two will follow, but thats going to come up with a modern, European-inspired design and modern conveniences. Or so claims Qoros. To want to switch vendors will certainly not lie, because on the list no shortage names like Magna Steyr, Continental, Bosch, Valeo and Microsoft. And the fledgling automotive brand also plays immediately on safety by claiming that all of its products to the highest step of the independent EuroNCAP crash tests will end. We are curious.

Are you the 2012 Mercedes Benz C Class Coupe

We’ve been told to expect to get our first glimpse of the next-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in March, but a few photos of the German two-door may have leaked out ahead of time. The images you see above were sourced up by the team at GMotors. From what we can tell, the vehicle in the stylized photos lines up pretty well with the spy photos we’ve seen of the 2012 C-Class Coupe so far, which leads us to believe that this may actually be the real deal. If so, the new coupe will wear the new beak of its updated four-door compatriots.

That includes the new slightly restyled front fascia. Interestingly enough, this particular set of photos ditches the quad fog lights we saw in the spy photos in favor of LED units. we’d say that seems like a fairly reasonable change given the popularity of the diodes in automotive design at the moment. Word is that this particular machine will get the same rash of engines as the sedan, meaning that buyers can expect to get their hands on either a 3.0-liter V6 with 228 horsepower or a 3.5-liter six-pot with 268 ponies. The question is, will we get an entry-level four-cylinder model like the 2012 C-Class sedan? Something tells us we’ll know a little more as we get closer to Geneva.
