That electric vehicles can also stylish proves Fiat 500e. He is certainly specially designed to enable a favorable resistance to score, but continues the electric Fiat 500 are stylish character.

Slowly but surely, more and more electric cars to emerge. Not all ready for production, but they are not very far from it. This Fiat 500e belongs to the group still sparse models next year actually at the dealers will stand. Unfortunately, not in Europe, but only in the U.S. California where one likes to be seen in progressive, environmentally conscious cars.

130 km
Fiat with the 500e purely urban use has in mind is clear from the range of 130 km. Nice if youre in Los Angeles or San Francisco live, but if you do not have the American highways on which usually runs on such a distance hardly a sign of life, so no charging. And especially when you consider that four hours is required for the 500e again to charge you more especially in the neighborhood of a point charge the batteries remain in the bottom of the car to maintain.

High-tech
Fiat gives no concrete figures released, but according to the power of 111 hp, we can conclude that driving in the 500e make do not have to be. Especially considering the high torque of an electric motor will especially in city traffic it pleasant maneuver with the little Italian. Assistance with that offered by TomTom portable navigation and unique to the 500e is the TFT screen behind the steering wheel in place of the counters mounted. This includes an extensive on-board computer shown that the high-tech character of the electric 500 should emphasize. The same applies to the developed Smartphone App which the status of the vehicle and its batteries and the forward planning of a route or determining a nearby charging station can be seen.

 During the Pebble Beach Concours dElegance shown McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition goes into production. Up to 30 copies will be built just to watch or for track use. Street Legal is definitely not racer costing half a million euros.

Prior to the presentation in August had already indicated that the McLaren 12C can-Am Edition with premeditation was developed to him later in production. That moment of green light than it is now. Construction will start in March 2013 and it is expected that the first customers (private) racer around the summer collection.

Interior

Down force
The Can-Am Edition is based on the earlier revealed and already active MP4-12 GT3. The McLaren Can-Am went one step further. First appearance, there was apparently enough to scrape more down force on the axes to generate. It is made entirely within the official rules and the results are impressive, as 30% down force gives the Can-Am Edition compared to the GT3. On the engine - the ECU - is also tinkering with the result of a total of 639 hp, 139 hp more than the GT3. "Huh, 139 hp?" Yes, the GT3 version has namely one hundred horsepower less than the first copies of the street version. Namely that meets or to the applicable FIA rules.

Lewis Hamilton
also worth mentioning is the vehicle weight of only 1,200 kg. By stripping the interior was much ballast lost. What is left, or in any other form is returned to the sport of course tubs (with 6-point belts) and a minimalist and purely functional center console. Cool racing wheel that is not much different from that of the F1 car Lewis Hamilton.

Can-Am
McLaren asks £ 375,000 for the M4-12C Can-Am who is keen to participate in the American racing series Grand-Am Road Racing, abbreviated Cam-Am. But participation in other (specific) classes is also possible. On track days the car without also doing well, so even if the car is not street legal, there is still plenty of fun to experience.

It is an icon: the Ford Mustang. But the party took place mainly on the other side of the ocean off. That will change soon.

The Ford Mustang is coming to Europe. Ford takes the iconic sports car here and that is good news for the fans. That fanatic there is clearly the number of copies using the gray import to this side of the Atlantic is achieved.

Ford has no release date or detailed specification of the European Mustang free but if we are still here in the U.S. then we can only be happy. The festival starts with the 3.7 V6 with 305 hp. With any luck, the 650-hp Shelby - with a V8 engine - this way but that is not certain.

Ford CEO Stephen Odell explains during the announcement of the European adventure of the brand Mustang why the "wise" decision has been taken: "If you saw what a great response the Mustang got this summer when he was seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England and in the Le Mans Classic in France, then you know how much enthusiasm this American style icon throughout Europe loosens. The Ford Mustang is pure and has a lot of fans here in Europe. Who now have something to look forward to, as we look forward here soon about to tell. "
