2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake

2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake though the front of the car looks just like a regular Jaguar XF, the company confirms that every body part of the XF Sportbrake aft of the B-pillar is new or unique. Even so, the XF Sportbrake is only 0.2 inch longer than its sedan forbear, and weighs only 154 pounds more than the sedan. Rear-seat passengers also enjoy an extra 1.9 inches of headroom compared to in the four-door.
The engine drive will be available in Europe with Jaguar’s 2.2L four-cylinder, turbo-diesel powerplant and a pair of 3.0L twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine variants with either 237-hp or 271-hp. All engine choices will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Jaguar is yet to confirm prices, but we’d expect a Sportbrake to cost around £2000 more than the equivalent XF saloon. That means a likely starting point of around £33,000, which is in line with its key rivals.
Cargo capacity with the rear seats in place is 19.4 cubic feet, up from 17.7 in the sedan, while folding the seats provides an ample 59.2 cubic feet of storage. Most of the rear chassis is common between the XF Sportbrake and the sedan version, although the wagon has self-leveling air suspension to cope with extra loading while also providing sporty handling. Jaguar also says the XF Sportbrake will be "an accomplished tow vehicle.
In addition, Jaguar has swapped the saloon’s conventional rear suspension for air suspension that ensures the car remains level – even when it’s heavily loaded.

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander is the company's entry in the highly competitive compact sport utility vehicle class.
The Outlander is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations, in ES, SE, or GT trim. The standard engine with the ES and SE trims is a 168-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The GT trim is equipped with a 230-hp 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Safety features on all Outlanders include six-airbags, vehicle stability control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, LED tail lamps, active front seat head restraints, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitor.

The updated design plays out well on the Outlander's rakish body. It has a shark-like snout that bears a passing resemblance to the front end on the Mitsu Evo. The Outlander's cabin compares fairly well with other, newer crossovers, too, thanks to new soft-touch materials like leatherette padding on the dash and armrests. A little high-tech feel is layered on top courtesy an LCD screen at the center of the dash.

Hyundai i30 2012

The Hyundai i30 2012 is the Hyundai’s latest offering in what is showcasing the company’s “fluidic sculpture” design language, the 2012 Hyundai i30 release leaves only the Santa Fe as the last in the line-up carrying Hyundai’s outgoing styling. When designing the Hyundai i30 2012, Hyundai used strong, fluid lines to sculpt a car which looks athletic and exudes a sense of constant motion, even when stationary.

Hyundai i30 2012 dimensions will remain very similar to that of the current car, so none of the styling changes should impact on interior room and practicality. The Hyundai i30 2012 range come with a choice of three 4-cylinder engines; the first is the 1.6 liter petrol engine, which gives 89kW of power and 153Nm of torque.

The Hyundai i30 2012 2.0 liter gives a 105kW of power and 185Nm of torque. The Hyundai i30 2012 1.6 liter Common Direct Rail Injection (CDRI) gives 85kW of power and 235Nm of torque.  The two petrol engines in the Hyundai i30 2012 come with a choice of a 5-speed manual transmission, or a 4-speed automatic, while the manual of option for the 1.6 liter CDRI is a six-speed shift.

Exactly,All the engines present for 2012 Hyundai i30 will be supplied with a 6-speed manual gearbox, but mainly for the models of engine that utilizes heavier gasoline and diesel versions. It even offers an optional 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Hyundai claims to have fairly high levels of efficiency; the Hyundai i30 2012 fuel consumption rate of the1.6 liter petrol engine stands at 6.5 litres per 100 kilometers with the manual shift, and 6.9 with the automatic. The Hyundai i30 2012 2.0 liter burns 7.2L/100km with the manual, and 7.6L with the automatic. The Hyundai i30 2012 diesel powered 1.6 CDRI engine is the most efficient of the bunch, at just 4.5L/100km with the manual and 5.7L/100km with the automatic.
2012 Hyundai i30 new generation

The new Hyundai i30 has increased in size, now measuring 4300 mm long and 1780 mm wide, but its height has been reduced to 1470mm which sees it sit wider but with a lower centre of gravity.

The European delivered models will have the option of Hyundai’s new Flex Steer™ which provides three operating modes – Comfort, Normal and Sport – to help fine-tune your driving experience.

The system actively changes the level of steering assistance and feedback to allow for a more engaging drive (sport) when needed or for maximum usability when you’re stuck in traffic (comfort).

A 7-inch touch-screen with Satelite Navigation will be available for European markets and we suspect it will flow through in one shape or form to the Australian market as well.

Hyundai will fit all the expected active safety features (ESP, ABS, VSM) as well as Emergency Stop Signal and six airbags as standard kit. A driver’s knee airbag is available as an option. The Korean giant expects the new i30 to retain the same maximum five-star safety rating as the model it replaces.

The Hyundai i30 2012 is designed to build on the success of the original i30 by offering more style, improved quality and greater efficiency – a package. Hyundai hopes, that will lift the Hyundai i30 2012 beyond its ‘good value’ image and allow it to compete squarely with the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf.

The Hyundai i30 2012 should be on your shortlist for test drives if you’re in the market for a small family hatchback. In the European market, the new Hyundai i30 2012 will be offered with three petrol and three diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 66 kW to 99 kW. The Hyundai i30 2012 UK range will start at £14,495 with a 99bhp 1.4 petrol, which is an increase of more than £700 on the current entry-level model.

The first-generation Hyundai i30s have been sold out in Australia already at a price of 82,900 and in Europe it is more than 360,000.
Price & Launch Date in India
 Price of Hyundai i30 in India is Rs. 9,00000 or around Rs.6 to Rs. 8 lakhs for various forms.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Ferrari has launched new supercar that's Ferrari F12 Berlinetta , its successor to the 599, Up until now, the vehicle has been dubbed the F620 GT, but its official name is the F12berlinetta. The best part is that it is the most powerful high-performance Ferrari road car ever launched.

The F12 Berlinetta is powered by a V12 engine with an impressive output of 740 HP, making 509 lb-ft of torque, it's enough to propel the 3,362-pound car from 0-62 mph in just 3.1 seconds and 0-104 mph in 8.5 seconds, according to Ferrari. This increase in power also comes with a decrease of fuel consumption, specifically a 30% reduction. With a total weight of just 3362 lbs, while top speed goes up to over 211 mph. Ferrari has also announced that the new model lapped the Fiorano circuit in 1:23, faster than any other Ferrari road car.
Ferrari also opted for two innovative solutions: the first of these is the Aero Bridge which uses the bonnet to generate downforce by channeling air away from the upper part of the car to its flanks where it interacts with the wake from the wheel wells to decrease drag. The second is Active Brake Cooling, a system that opens guide vanes to the brake cooling ducts only at high operating temperatures, again reducing drag.

The new F12berlinetta is the result of a cooperation between the Ferrari Styling Center and Pininfarina. It looks like to carry over design elements from the Ferrari FF and the Ferrari California, but combined with sleek, aggressive lines that offer a more sporty appearance.

Since the F12berlinetta was designed to be the most powerful high performance Ferrari road car ever created, the company’s traditional transaxle layout had to be modified. The wheelbase was shortened and the engine, dashboard, and seats were situated lower in the chassis. The layout of the rear suspension and gearbox was also modified, allowing for a decrease in rear volume as well. Ferrari says that the "overall result is a very compact car with a lower centre of gravity that is further back in the chassis, and a level of aerodynamic efficiency that sets new standards."

The Ferrari’s chassis also had to be revised in order to withstand the added power of the new sports car. Scaglietti took on that role, and designed an all-new spaceframe chassis and bodyshell using 12 different kinds of alloys. These alloys were joined together using new techniques that allowed for a 20% increase in structural rigidity and a reduction of weight, down to 1525 kg/3362 lbs (70 kg/154 lbs less than the previous V12 CoupĂ©).

The first details of the Ferrari F12berlinetta didn’t reveal too much about the interior, but let’s face it, the interior always comes second to power in a sports car. Nonetheless, it will feature the most advanced technology with sophisticated, handcrafted detailing. The dashboard features new carbon fiber and aluminum air vents clearly inspired by the aeronautic field. The cockpit was designed around the driver with all the major commands within immediate reach to guarantee maximum ergonomics for the most involving driving experience.
The interior is wrapped in all-new Frau leather and comes with additional luggage capacity behind the seats.
