Lamborghini future until 2021: Gallardo becomes Cabrera - estoque is 2014
Lamborghini will present up to 2021 more than 15 models as "firsts" or facelifts. It is available in 2013 with the Lamborghini Cabrera of the Gallardo's successor in the wings, followed a year later the Lamborghini estoque.
But the model number to: in the course of the year 2011, the Lamborghini Aventador replaces the Murcielago, a year later, there will be an open version of Super Sport with its newly constructed 6, 5-litre V12.The Roadster receives a removable carbon roof that can be stowed in the trunk. 2015 the Aventador to the 50 HP stronger Super is Veloce supplemented (SV), which will take approximately 150 kg on the scales thanks to CFRP construction. The model should be limited to 350 copies. The year 2016 goes hand in hand with a facelift for the Aventador, which will be aprons and spoilers on the market, not only with slightly modified sills, but also receives the SV engine and thus LP 750-4 may call themselves Lamborghini Aventador.
As the last model, before the Italian car manufacturer 2021 replaced the Avantador, there will be two years earlier jota a LP850 4 with the name. The model is limited to 50 copies strictly receives other lightweight parts including carbon chassis elements that make easier the top Aventador about 250 kilograms. Thanks to interventions in the V12, this final Edition has over 100 more horsepower.
The Lamborghini Gallardo is 2013 welcome a successor in the market, which is to hear Cabrera on the name. Two years previously, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 2011 offered 550-2 Spyder as open version. His successor, the Lamborghini Cabrera Spyder with the 570 PS of strong v10 engine used in the Coupe is 2014 used. Both the Coupe and the Spyder will be greater than the Gallardo, but significantly less weight than the Gallardo superleggera, which rescues 1,415 kilos on the scales. The Cabrera Spyder also has an electrically retractable hardtop.
Speaking superleggera. This variant is now for the Lamborghini Cabrera 2017 target - limited to 250 copies and among other things thanks to carbon Interior its to 150 kilos. The performance increases to 595 HP. The facelift of Lamborghini Cabrera could be if you look at the product schedule of the Italians, 2014.
The third series of Lamborghini will open the Estoque 2014. The four was presented in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show as a concept. The Estoque is powered by the same v10 engine that drives his "worst" in the Lamborghini Cabrera. The luxury model takes the competitors a la Aston Martin Porsche Panamera or Ferrari FF in the visor also then Rapide.
It is of course not in the single body variant of the "four-door Coupe". 2017, a convertible is then applied after the facelift 2020 shows a two-door coupe, which could come on the market in 2021 Lamborghini in addition. Also a Shootingbrake version of the Lamborghini estoque seems to be possible. The SUV version event to the LM002 is not in the product schedule of the Italians.
VW, Audi and Porsche: mid-engine athletes, Q1 and up
Although the most loyal of the Porsche fans due to the integration in the VW Group to the sovereignty of their brand fear: it is everything half bad - and yet is not without consequences for the Modellpolitk of the two pillars of VW and Audi.
Sports cars sell is easy. "The new Porsche 911 - already ordered?" was the poster advertising of the Porsche Centre of a German metropolis on the occasion of the last great 911 model refinement. One around you could literally hear how solvent driver with the Palm of your hand on the forehead clapped and shafted: "Crap, I knew that I had forgotten what." Whether this simple strategy in the new, yet unnamed Ferrari opponent rises? The chances are not bad in the over-Porsche. For the mid-engine sports car, a supercharged V8 was first tested, currently the engineers but favor a six-cylinder Boxer turbo engine with 600 HP. The two-seater gets positioned a body with 918 style 911. builds than the price he is somewhat compact but significantly higher. Debut: end of 2015.
Already in December the new 911 Porsche bundles as Carrera and Carrera S Coupe, the convertible follows of the Open-Air season 2012. The optics continues to just carefully, which safely fuelling discussions on Porsche regulars - as with any model change. In the length of the two-door to about six inches too, the wheelbase about ten inches in almost identical amount. As classic proportions provide the again wider rear fenders. Sitting in between as had six-cylinder Boxer engines apart from the future top model without Turbo-charging. Despite a smaller displacement (3.4 instead of 3.6 litres), the base engine is in the future around 360 instead of 345 HP. The S engine gets granted, however, again 3.8 litres, the performance increases from 385 to 400 HP. A newly designed dual-clutch transmission, as well as automatic start stop feature help to push the consumption by around 15 per cent - at least on paper. About hybrid or electric drive no 911 friend must also upset, both are not provided for. This also applies to the Boxster, which celebrates premiere in the coming year, although there are already stromernde prototypes. Frustration must nevertheless customers: the initial engine in the future is a 220 PS of strong four - Boxer configuration.
Cajun to lure new customers
Despite this Porsche so is from his claim within the VW family upwards, together with the development sovereignty for the large sedans from Bentley and Bugatti around the next Panamera. Only the compact off-roader Cajun comes close Q5 concern his platform donor Audi and could steal his customers with his stresses sporting positioning. In any case provides the new SUV for that is the Porsche centres - similar to must set as in the first Cayenne - on new prospects, which this time maybe a Audi A4 avant or BMW 3 Series Touring in payment would like to give. One thing is certain in the Cajun also already: that he will be called not Cajun.
Audi in turn may Porsche approach not too much, why the planned for the end of 2013, third generation of TT is not growing. A higher positioning in favour of a central Motorsportlers based on the VW concept Bluesport was discarded because the small Coupe now enjoys cult status. And without an Audi derivative the series production of a small Roadster not pay off. Instead the designer maintain the well-known style of two plus two Sitzers with style elements of the studies of Quattro concept and E-Tron Spyder, which means more corners and edges. Clearly panoramic against: the Q1. Although the moderate sales success of A1 the Ingolstadter are somewhat more cautious with regard to additional variants left - on small SUV car buyers still depart. And the essential for the brand Quattro drive for the entry-level model is already already developed. Before the end of 2013 the Q1 not is however as yet to take a final decision of the Executive Board.
VW, however, definitely geared toward the lower vehicle segments, because the small car up into the spotlight of the an E-version starting in 2013 to buy will be rolling at the IAA. But already the versions equipped with the well-known cylinder engines (1.2 L engine 60 and 70 HP) to set new standards in terms of usage costs. The so-called new small family comes from the factory in Bratislava, there runs as four- and Vierturer for VW, seat and Skoda of the band. The VW Bulli, however, represents a very own VW topic. Since its premiere at the this year's Geneva show study reminiscent of the Samba-bus delivers why in Wolfsburg just eagerly possible mass production is durchkalkuliert, possibly with electric motor still sustained applause. Completely independent of the drive: the marketing for the iconic mini bus should be no challenge. Already ordered?
Dynamic entry into the era of electric mobility
End of 2012 the VW Group starts series production of electric cars - although in reasonable extent, because first the Audi R8 E-Tron rolls on the road. The sports car be 230 kW is produced at a Au?enstandort of Quattro GmbH in Heilbronn-Biberach. In the following year, Volkswagen with the up and the draws for golf blue E-motion. The electric motor be paid 85 kW from the compact car fits in the Audi A3, but initially followed a version with plug-in hybrid technology by 2014. The conventionally powered variants are available from 2012 at the dealer. With the A1 E-Tron a field trial starts off currently in which 20 vehicles in the greater Munich area are used. You use the study a wankel engine as range extender, which has little chance of a mass production.
Central battery-Porsche
Porsche relies on the Boxster E hard-working from the Elektromobilitats Kit: the VW Golf blue E-motion powered the 90-kW electric motor, and the lithium ion iron phosphate cells of U.S. manufacturer A123 with together 29 kWh energy content are known already from the Fisker karma. You would have no notions of the pitfalls of electric mobility and would drive the car for the first time, the judgment would be clear: drives class, quiet man, and is already ready. When can I buy? The response of the Porsche engineers would then be a shock: "Buy?" The E Boxster has not even prototype stage. "We learn that only just within the framework of the project funded by the Federal Government with six million euros." There - are two with pure rear-wheel drive and a third with all-wheel drive and two electric motors three E Boxster so that the overall performance to 180 kW added. Because already the 90-kW variant with the typical sparkling electric character out of the starting davonzieht quickly, you can be very curious on the twice as strong. She should speed then in 5.5 seconds from zero to 100 km/h. Sensitive pilot experience at give the additional weight when compared to the gasoline engine Variant. What especially like except the quietness is the very detailed display of the range (subdivided into city and Intercity buses) and the info about the range loss by turning on by consumers. What is not fun, is the sound of the artificial sound generator. Difficult one can imagine that Porsche drivers will accept this type of car ringtone. There is just the sound of the Boxer still not in the kit.
