Main > Car Makers News > Volkswagen > Volkswagen Concept BlueSport Volkswagen first toyed with the idea of reviving a small, mid-engine roadster with its cleanly styled ConceptR for the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. While the car garnered mostly positive reaction, it ultimately failed to make the production line. Two years later at the Tokyo Motor Show, another roadster concept, called the EcoRacer, was shown by Wolfsburg, once again stirring hopes that VW would eventually build a fuel efficient and agile sports car for the masses.Now comes the Concept BlueSport, and...

Then the most dismal financial crisis since the Great Depression brought down sales of virtually everything else, from pickups to Priuses to iPods.Amid the mayhem, General Motors delayed the production CTS coupe to at least summer 2010, three years into the life cycle of the sedan on which it is based. Meanwhile, President Obama says he's willing to grant California a waiver on... Full article...

That's where our story begins.Pontiac first teased the notion of a coupe version of its Solstice roadster concept at the Detroit auto show in 2002. Slow-forward seven years and it's finally here, in naturally aspirated and turbocharged, 260-horsepower GXP form. That original 2002 design study was a fixed roof hatchback, somewhat similar to a BMW {{{Z4}}} coupe. On its way to production... Full article...

Well, soon the Ugur Sahin designed Corvette Z03 can be yours for a cool price tag of around $69,000, excluding the price of a donor C6 Corvette, of course. To match the car's stricking looks, Mallet Cars from Ohio has signed on to provide an additional horsepower punch.The 'Vette tuner and noted racing outfit has produced two extremely high-power force-induced packages for the limited-edition European-penned sportscar. Donning all-carbon fiber bodywork, the... Full article...

To a modern Japanese car manufacturer like Mazda, it's an equally dramatic precursor--albeit to different kind of confrontation. Although still cloaked in a mantle of high concept, this revolutionary sport coupe lays some very real groundwork for the look and feel of a future that could be here sooner than you think.Prime...

Motor Trend recently had the chance to take the Hakaze for a quick spin in advance of its Geneva Motor Show world debut.And if it gets the public reaction it deserves at Geneva, Mazda insiders expect the firm will put something not too dissimilar into production in about three years' time.The brief for Hakaze originally came from Mazda's European HQ. As in the US, big heavy SUVs are losing favor, but there... Full article...

While BMW has proven that rear-wheel-drive c-segment size luxury works, with its 1 Series, Lincoln is turning next to the 2011 Ford Focus' platform for post-global warming luxury. To prepare us for a CAFE-friendly world, Lincoln rolled out the C concept for c-segment, and so far, without an "MK" prefix at Detroit.Looking much like a Renault with Lincoln's "flying wing" '41 Continental retro...

Even though I'm far from the only motor journalist to have gushed over the star of the North American International Auto Show, General Motors' brass hasn't given a production version the green light. To refresh your memory, the Converj is a sexy 2+2 coupe riding on a version of the Chevrolet Volt's Voltec platform, powered by a 16 kW set of lithium-ion batteries with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine for recharging purposes only. We'll have more details in an... Full article...

The name of the concept points straight towards its inspiration, the Manta fish. The inspiration manifests itself in the form of fluid curves and lines on the car, with a somewhat “soft” appearance. Designers however, did not forget that the concept bears the name of McLaren and gave it a fairly good dose of the automaker’s design-language. The concept isn’t meant to be an... Full article...
