Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2013 Posted: 05 Jul 2012 04:32 AM PDT Not long ago we could see the spy photos of the restyling of the Opel Insignia sedan version. Now, though, the gentlemen of Motorauthority spy shots have posted related to the Sports Tourer, namely family Variant. The German House of Russelsheim is preparing to repeat the trick in one of the most popular models of their range in Europe: new products will concern mainly the design of the front and rear, i.e. hidden parts from camuffature in forklift we can see in the pictures. It is neither more nor less than a restyling of mid-career, to freshen the appearance rather than at stravolgerla, in the light also of the commercial success of the model. Despite the heavy enough, we can camuffature a glimpse of that in front of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2013 designers have adjusted the shape of bumper: in particular are original air vents. On either side of the bumper are also new fog lights, round now. But it doesn’t stop there: the new Opel Insignia Sports Tourer 2013, as well as the sedan, will be characterized by a slightly revised grille and form clusters of redesigned front. In side you will appreciate the new alloy rims, almost a must in restyling. By spy shots shows clearly that the taillights are all hairpieces: the form will change slightly from those of today, and in addition should be equipped with LED technology. There seems to be no change, however, with regard to the rear bumper. Inside should not then be many innovations: the main concern new finishes and upholstery for the seats. In particular, according to rumors circulating on the net it seems that the new Insignia restyling will have within a new ambient lighting system to LED. From a mechanical point of view engines range is basically composed with the same units that are on the current model, probably updated to consume less fuel and emit less CO2. It is, however, also introducing some new unit, but at the moment we do not have precise information on the subject. The engines will power between 130 and 325 horses, sports provided by OPC. The facelift will be officially unveiled by Opel at the upcoming Paris Motor Show 2012, while marketing is expected in late 2012 or early 2013. |
Posted: 04 Jul 2012 06:36 PM PDT Look at her well. It is not a normal Renault Twingo: under the slightly modified bodywork of superminis French, hides the mechanical backbone of the next generation of new 2015 Smart ForFour. The spy photos, taken by colleagues from Motorauthority, show us that the House owned by Mercedes he plans to try again with the four-door version of the Smart, after the flop of the old version in collaboration with Mitsubishi (was based on the platform of the Colt). But now there is a new partner, the Renault-Nissan group: learning from past mistakes the Germans decided to try again. The camuffature from Renault Twingo can explain whereas the platform for the forthcoming ForFour will be the same as the new generation of transalpine superminis. As you can see from the pictures the forklift, surprised in Germany next to a Mercedes-Benz, view an elongated wheelbase than the standard Twingo, to encourage the habitability of who will sit behind. In short, the Smart is working to fully renew its range: the new ForTwo is expected on the market in 2014, while the new ForFour will see the light no earlier than 2015. The platform on which they will be carried out both new Smart, as mentioned above, it will always be that of the third generation Renault Twingo. This platform will logically adapted depending on the various models, however has some basic features, the same for all. First, the engine will be in the rear position, as well as the rear traction: mechanical scheme will therefore be the same as the current Smart. As regards production, the new Smart ForTwo will be built in Hambach plant in France, while the four-seater versions will be assembled in the factory in Novo Mesto in Slovenia. It is also expected the Nissan-branded model built on this platform. Speaking of style, the spy photos do not tell us anything yet, but according to rumors circulating, the new model will boast a nicer design than the old model and extensive use of lightweight materials. In fact, some parts of the body are made of plastic. Finally, engines, in addition to the usual variants include diesel and petrol, also an original electric version, powered by lithium-ion batteries. |
