BMW Progressive Activity Sedan ...

According to Auto Motor und Sport, the 5-series based sedan will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009, and is expected to be very reminiscent of the recently released X6, with plummeting C- and D-pillars, a hatchback, a higher ride height (think Audi's Allroad) and measuring in at approximately 4.9 meters (192 inches), about an inch longer than the X6.


BMW Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS or possibly V5) is on its way, whether the world wants it or needs it.


This does at least give you haters a bit of time to breathe easy for a while with more than a year to go, but for all you lovers out there, there will undoubtedly be countless prototypes set to hit the street in the coming months and our spies will be there to catch it.

Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA launch in summer 2009

It will include direct injection, variable valve timing and Alfa says it is set to be the most powerful car in the sector.

The 1750cc engine was used for the first time in the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Giuliettas of the 1960s and was a real success.



Although the image above is rendered speculation from the fine folks over at Progetto955.it it looks tantalizingly good with the over sized rims on low-profile tires which fill in the air gap of the bulbous wheel arches quite nicely. The body kit is eccentric, but still, tastefully done.

According to 4car, Alfa says it will be the most powerful car in the segment, and compared to MINI's 175hp Cooper S, they are most certainly correct.


Alfa Romeo confirmed it will unveil a hotted-up version of its new Mito supermini in summer 2009. The GTA version will be powered by a 1750cc, turbocharged engine that will deliver 230bhp.

Renntech Re-tunes Mercedes SLR Mclaren 722 to 740hp

When we first heard of the Mercedes SLR Mclaren 722, we all licked our lips at the prospect of a 722 horsepower engine, but when the final figure of 650hp was released it left a sour taste in our mouth. Renntech soon put that sweet taste back with their own tuning package which boosted the supercar's power up to where it should be at 722 horses, and now by popular demand the tuning house has pumped yet more ponies out of the 5.4-liter supercharged engine bringing total power up to 740hp



For the upgraded tuning package Renntech have re-worked the ECU software and added a less restrictive motorsports-style exhaust system to get the extra ponies to the new Renntech Signature 10-spoke, 3 piece performance wheels.



For an extra bit of added spice the tuner has also provided a nice little video in which you can hear the engine. More Articles
