New Range Rover Evoque details emerge

Land Rover have finally released the first image and details of the next addition to the Range Rover family and it’s called the Evoque. The new Range Rover Evoque will make it’s debut at the Paris Motor show on the 30th of September and then be released later in 2011. With the final goal having the vehicle available in over 160 countries around the world.

New Range Rover Evoque set for succes

The new Range Rover Evoque is the most fuel efficient, lightest and smallest Range Rover in the companies history. Regarding the name Evoque, Range Rover had this to say: “A name which implies exclusivity and arouses emotions, Evoque is cosmopolitan and cross-continental, sophisticated and matches the car’s urban elegance”. Whatever that means?

The new Range Rover Evoque maintains many of the exterior styling that has become so synonymous with the Range Rover brand. From the distinctive falling roof to the rising waistline, the Evoque is true to the Range Rover styling roots. The Evoque however is more compact and obviously fuel efficient, lending itself to the new generation of SUV’s that are becoming more and more popular around the world. People are looking for vehicles that are more compact, more fuel efficient and have less CO2 emissions and most of the big manufacturers are following this trend.

The new Range Rover Evoque will do really well and should fit nicely in the Range Rover luxury SUV segment.

Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible Revealed

Bentley have always made amazing looking cars, and the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible is no exception. The convertible Continental still obviously remains true to the Bentley style and shape that have made the cars such icons. This model however has attempted to add a little more funkiness to the Bentley range and give it a much younger look.

Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible is built for speed

Bentley are noting that the Continental Supersports convertible is the fastest and most potent drop-top they have ever made. And this is confirmed by the fact that it hits 0-100km/h in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 325km/h. Which is quite a bit faster than you would ever really need to go I imagine. Not only is it the fastest 4 seater convertible Bentley have made but it is also the fastest 4-seater convertible in the world.

The Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible has a 621bhp 463kW Twin turbo-charged W12 engine which is however the same engine as in the Continental Coupe. The convertible also uses FlexFuel technology, allowing the car to be powered by either Petrol or E85 bioethanol or both combined. This has lead to a reduction of CO2 emissions by up to 70% which I dont imagine is much of a concern to most people who could afford this car though.

As with all Bentley models, you can expect to pay quite a huge amount for the car but at least you will be saving the environment.

New Renault Wind details released

The new Renault Wind was showcased earlier this year and more details have since emerged. Renault are marketing the Wind as a fun, funky, compact run-around 2 seater coupe-roadster. Which is quite a combination but Renault feel like the Wind should fit in perfectly in their list of models between the Clio and the Twingo.

Funky fun drive for new Renault Wind

Obviously the Wind’s biggest drawing point is the electric powered roof system which can open in just 12 seconds. Much effort has been made to keep the car small, light and yet still obviously good looking with some pace on the side. The new Renault Wind comes in two engine types; the TCe 100 and a 1.6 16V 133hp variant. Renault note that the Wind has the best weight to body rigidity ratio in a coupe roadster, which provides a smooth ride, low CO2 emissions and increased fuel economy.

Another motivation for Renault when making the Wind, was they felt that “wind in the hair” driving should just be reserved for the luxury segment and sports cars. The new Renault Wind is however still made with function in mind, including the boot space which is equal in size to the Renault Clio. Renault have said that part of the lure of the Wind as a compact coupe-roadster was it’s price and keeping it affordable, else it would have lost it’s competitive edge. Renault haven’t announced it’s expected price yet or if it will be released in South Africa but we wait and see.

The new Renault Wind will go on sale in the United Kingdom in July this year and later in the rest of Europe.
