The British-based manufacturer will use the concept to gauge reaction and to assess the potential for what could lead to a future production version of the popular new model.

The concept has been developed by Land Rover Design Director, Gerry McGovern and his team. Commenting on the concept, McGovern said: “The Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible. This study is not a traditional convertible design execution – instead we have worked with the balance of the Evoque’s lines to retain its distinctive shape and create something that is unique and, we believe, highly desirableThe soft-top is based on the 3-door coupe and features a fully retractable roof system with Roll Over Protection System (ROPS). Inside, the concept is packed with Evoque’s award winning technology including Terrain Response, surround cameras, Park Assist and class leading infotainment featuring an 8-inch dual view touch screen. To finish off its dramatic Motor Show look, the interior features Lunar and Ivory leather seating, and on the exterior it is finished in a new metallic Causeway Grey paint and 21-inch ‘Titan’ silver wheelsJohn Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director said: “The Evoque Convertible Concept is a new twist to the Evoque story and explores the potential to further extend the nameplate’s appeal by giving existing customers more choice, whilst at the same time reaching out to a completely new customer base. We are excited to see the response to this concept as we assess the potential for building on the Evoque’s exceptional success so far.

Peugeot will give a world debut to its 208 GTi concept car at the Geneva Motor Show next month. The show car is the prelude to a production version of the iconic hot hatch which is expected in the next 18 months.

Featuring double chrome exhaust tailpipes, lower bodywork spoilers and signature badging the 208 GTi takes the new French supermini into serious hot-hatch territory as these official photos show. The sporty theme continues inside the plush cabin, with sports leather stitched steering wheel, leather trimmed sports seats, red perforated leather steering wheel, LED backlighting to the instrument surrounds, and plenty of GTi badging.Under the bonnet the engineers have taken the THP 200 engine found in a top-of-the-range RCZ coupe and coupled it to a six-speed manual gearbox. The result is car which looks the part but also delivers plenty of dynamic capability on the road. To enhance this capability, it has a 36mm wider track, at the front and at the rear, and a rear roof spoiler to generate down force at speed. For optimum braking performance, the GTi Concept is equipped with four discs; 302mm diameter at the front and 249mm at the rear, set off by red-painted brake callipers.The Peugeot 208 launches in the UK in June.

 

MINI CLUBMAN VAN

MINI has revealed it plans to debut a ‘compact lifestyle van’ at the Geneva Motor Show next month. 

 

Based on the Clubman, the Clubvan aims to be both practical and stylish, with MINI’s distinctive fun and design coupled to a large loadcarrying space.

 

The Oxford-based company has removed the backseats but kept the Clubman’s split rear doors, with the flat load area extending all the way from the rear doors to a partition behind the two front seats. Six attachment loops recessed into the load floor use elasticated straps to hold cargo in place. The fixed partition grille, made from solid aluminium in the lower part and a stainless steel honeycombe grating, ensures items stowed in the rear won’t fall into the front cabin. The side walls, floor and roof lining of the load area in the Concept are trimmed in high-quality anthracite-coloured cloth.The concept vehicle is finished in classic British Racing Green paintwork, and the company featured on the van shown at Geneva is Southport-based ‘Hugh Buckingham Signwriter’ which creates vehicle graphics for its customers.

 

 

 

NEW BMW M6 COUPE AND CONVERTIBLE

 It was only a matter of time before BMW got around to releasing the M6 as the pinnacle to their new 6 Series coupe and convertible line-up.

Despite being faster and more powerful than its predecessor the new M6 incorporates EfficientDynamics technologies and is 30% more fuel efficient. Power comes from a 560hp V8 M TwinPower Turbo engine which has enough welly to propel the coupe from zero to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds (the convertible takes 4.3 seconds). Top speeds are electronically capped at 155mph. Fuel saving technology includes the adoption of Auto Start Stop, Active Aerodynamics and Brake Energy Recuperation, this all means that M6 coupe has a combined fuel consumption of 28.5mpg (Convertible 27.4mpg) with CO2 emissions of 232g/km (Convertible 239g/km).

BMW’s M division have ensured that the M6 looks the part, with a series of sporty and aggressive design features. At the front a new M apron with wide air-intakes provides the necessary cooling for the engine, while sharply contoured headlamps featuring the characteristic BMW Corona includes the latest Adaptive LED headlight technology. The classic kidney grille has also been given the M make-over, with its black slats and shape inspired by the double spoke alloy wheels, finishes off the front end.To the side, a 30mm increase in the front track has resulted in bulging front wheel arches along with the addition of familiar M gills behind them. At the rear, the now-traditional twin pairs of exhaust pipes sit either side of the aerodynamically optimised diffuser.The new M6 comes as standard with 19” Star-spoke forged alloy wheels featuring seven double spokes in a two-tone finish. Optional 20” alloy wheels, with five double spokes hinting at the weight saving their lightweight design provides, are also available.The M6 coupe once again uses a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic roof panel, lowering the car’s centre of gravity and improving handling agility as a result.

While the M6 convertible features an identical roof of the 6 Series with its ‘fin’ architecture projecting into the rear section, enhancing the silhouette of the car. Motorists can choose from Black, Beige or Anthracite Silver fleck for the roof material colour.Inside the cars the M division have created one of their most luxurious finishes yet – with BMW Professional Navigation with 10.2” colour screen, and new M Sport seats featuring an integrated seat belt system, electric seat adjustment, a pneumatic lumbar adjustment and manually adjustable under thigh support. Active head restraints also feature, and the M logo embossed into the shoulder area is the finishing touch.

There’s plenty of fine grain Merino leather used throughout the cabin with the dynamic styling of the 6 Series interior particularly suited to the role of an M car. There’s more space too, and 460 litres of luggage capacity, 300-350 litres in the M6 Convertible depending on whether the roof is raised or lowered, an increase over its predecessor. There’s also a M-specific Head-Up Display (HUD) with its digital speedometer readout and speed limit identification, gear and rev counter and shift lights.

The new BMW M6 coupe and convertible go on sale on 15 September 2012.

Ford is to continue sponsoring the UEFA Champions League for another four years, taking advantage of the tournament’s global audience to promote its cars.

The carmaker announced this week it has agreed to extend its current sponsorship deal for a further three years until June 2015.“Our new three-year agreement shows how strongly we feel about this partnership,” said Stephen Odell, chairman and CEO, Fordof Europe.

“For a global company like ours, the UEFA Champions League is an ideal platform to connect with millions of people around common values. It is about the best-of-the-best on the ultimate stage, and that’s why Ford wants to be part of it.”

David Taylor, CEO UEFA Events, said: “We are delighted that Ford has chosen to extend their agreement with UEFA and the UEFA Champions League for another three years.“Ford has been a valuable partner of ours since the inception of the competition back in 1992. This renewal in our partnership further strengthens the close relationship we have.”

The competition was watched by more than one billion television viewers last season, with a cumulative audience of more than four billion, half of which were outside of Europe.

“This may be a European competition, but like Ford’s latest global vehicles, it is shared and enjoyed throughout the world,” said Roelant de Waard, vice-president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe.

“Great football, like a great car, is universal in its appeal and this partnership generates world-wide exposure. This is the reason why the UEFA Champions League played such big role in the launch of the new Ford Focus earlier this year.”

Ford used the competition to reveal its new Ford Focus to a global audience through television adverts, stadium perimeter boards and online channels.

 

BRITS PREFER CARS TO WOMEN

Girls, if you’re spending most of your time trawling lonely-hearts columns, then you’re wasting your time. A new study has found that nearly a third of young men spend longer searching for their ideal car than they do looking for their perfect partner.

The study, commissioned by carmaker Peugeot, also found that millions of British men find it easier to maintain their car than their girlfriend.According to the research, 50 per cent of men admitted that they find their partner more difficult to maintain than their car, with one in 10 men confessing to being more captivated with their cars’ alluring curves than their partner’s.

It also found that 14 per cent of men talk more about their cars than their partners, compared with only 3 per cent of women.According to Peugeot, men are happier spending cash on their car rather than their partner, with 17 per cent of those polled claiming they spend more on their car than their partner.In addition, 13 per cent of those questioned had been with their car longer than their partner and 14 per cent believe having a sporty car will help them get the partner of their dreams.

Dr Pam Spurr, a behaviour and relationship expert who collaborated with Peugeot on the study, said: “We’ve long known that the British are a nation of petrolheads but by the looks of things, the balance can often tip a little in the wrong direction.“It seems that the pleasure we derive from our cars is one that we have greatly underestimated. It’s incredibly surprising to think such pleasure sometimes surpasses the enjoyment a car owner derives from their partner!”According to the study, people in the South East and West Midlands appear to be the most attached to their cars, with 15 per cent of those questioned in the West Midlands preferring to show off their car to friends and family rather than their partner.

Peugeot commissioned the study to promote their RCZ Sports Coupé. More than 2,000 people were polled.
