Could this be the F01 BMW 7 Series?

We have known for some time now that BMW have been working hard to bring us a new 7 Series however, they have kept a lot of the information and pictures close to their chest. Well hopefully we have some news for you that I think you will like; this photo could in fact be the new F01 BMW 7 Series.

When you look closely at the design of this vehicle in the photo you will notice that it looks a lot like some of the spy shots of a concept car that was snapped. The design of this hopefully new 7 Series BMW looks a little like the BMW CS Concept, you will notice that the kidney-shaped grille is oversized compared to previous models which seems to dominate the front end of the new car. The front lights seems to ad a little flare to the front of the car, as they start near the grille and then wrap around to the side of the car.

The side of the new BMW has a nice thick line that starts halfway on the front wing and then draws you to the rear of the car, which has had some work on it. The rear end of the vehicle has lost a little weight, so does not bulge out as much as the old BMW 7 Series. I have also noticed that the glass area on the car is much less than the previous model, the glass seems to start a lot higher up than before.

Although it looks as though BMW have gone for a more conservative design, we will just wait until we see the final design of the new BMW 7 Series hit our streets.

Mercedes Benz C63 AMG performance sedan now on sale

The Mercedes Benz C63 AMG is finally on sale, and let me tell you it has been worth the wait. Sp what makes this performance sedan worth all the wait, well the main thing is its power, a 6.2-litre V8 which has 600Nm of torque and a 0 – 100kmh time of about 4.5 seconds. The Mercedes Benz C63 AMG is also packed with a host of AMG extras, which puts it a class above the standard C-Class model.

This sedan comes with a seven-speed automatic gearbox, and to give it a sporty feel there are gear shift paddles on the steering wheel, technology straight from Formula 1. The C63 AMG also uses AMG’s sports steering as well as a three stage stability control, all of which will give you a more positive driving experience.

Now for the painful part, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG price starts from $139,500

Ford Flex Woody: faux wood paneling please say it’s a joke

The Ford Flex truly is a nice vehicle, and Ford have some plans to offer some Limited Editions, however one that I think seems more like a joke is producing a Ford Flex Woody.

Ok I can understand a Hot Rod Woody, but on a normal vehicle it is an absolute atrocity. Why would you want to take a nice CUV and then spoil it by sticking some faux wood paneling along the sides? Please Ford I beg you, please say that this is part of an April fool.

Husmen 699 GTO: renderings of this future Ferrari concept car

I think I have fallen in love. Ok not with a woman that would not be fair on my wife, but with the Husmen 699 GTO. There is nothing better than looking at renderings of future concept cars and this one has been designed by Emre Husmen who is a design student at IED.

While looking closely at the design I can see hints of a couple of Ferrari’s from the old 250 GTO to the new Ferrari 599 GTB. Hey I think I can almost see a bit of Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione in the car as well.

The Husmen 699 GTO will have a carbon fiber body and have V8 twin-supercharged, this will run on biofuel. This concept will also have hydraulic suspension, great if you have to go over speed bumps. This concept could become reality as Husmen are in talks with a coachbuilder from Italy.
