Performance Package now available on 330i Coupes and Convertibles

The widely-acclaimed 330i Performance Package, originally introduced on the 330i Sedan in January 2003, will make its debut on the 2004 330Ci Coupe and Convertible at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on December 29th, 2003. The 330i Performance Package has received rave reviews from the press on the strength of its performance and handling prowess. The extension of the Performance Package to these two additional models will raise the driving experience of the 330Ci Coupe and Convertible to an even higher standard.

The 330i and 330Ci Performance Package has been created exclusively for the North American market for enthusiasts by enthusiasts at BMW Individual, a division of BMW M GmbH. Every aspect of the driving experience has been enhanced by the Performance Package. Engine modifications, which include different camshafts and performance-modified Digital Motor Electronics, yield a 10 horsepower increase to 235 for the 3.0-liter in-line six.

Volkswagen GTI W12 650 Concept

he Mk.V GTI might only be two years old (a year and a bit in North America),but Volkswagen has progressively produced faster versions of its famous hot hatchback, be it for production or for show. Recall the GTI Edition 30, a factory-tuned European specialty which commemorated the 30th Anniversary of the GTI by adding an additional 30 horsepower. If attention and looks are your ultimate desire, there's also the Fahrenheit GTI, which, besides special wheels, is bright orange inside and out. There was also the R GTI, the black and carbon fiber 375 horsepower “tuner” GTI that took SEMA by storm late last year. But none of these hold a candle to the ultimate GTI, which Volkswagen showed enthusiasts at the Wörthersee VW-Audi tuner show earlier this week, the GTI W12 650 Concept.

Before continuing on, let's quickly go over the facts on this beast. It's got three times the displacement, three times the cylinders, and twice as many turbochargers as the original, alswagen and the finest powerplant the brand has ever made. It's simply astounding. Though the Phaeton and A8 that use the W12 engine do not have turbos, there's a high chance that the engine was instead sourced from a Bentley Continental as they come standard with two quick-spooling turbochargers and all the vital plumbing. In any sense, this kind of firepower is more than enough to shift the compact GTI to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 201 mph, which makes it the fastest GTI

Volkswagen Sharan BlueMotion 7

Germans are now able to buy a minivan that gets better mileage than most cars in the U.S. Probably better than most compact cars, even. The VW Sharan BlueMotion is a diesel 7-seater that burns 6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (38 mpg US) and emits 159g/km of CO2 (compared to 177g/km for the non-BlueMotion version, and 104g/km for a Toyota Prius hybrid).

Specifications for the VW Sharan BlueMotion

The engine is a 140hp 2.0L turbo-diesel (TDI) with a particulate filter at the exhaust. With its 70-liter fuel tank, range between fill ups could be almost 700 miles. Prices start at €32,200. Lets hope that Volkswagen will consider bringing it to North-America (with its new cleaner diesel technology). It would be a very practical vehicle for those who need to carry many people, and running on biodiesel (from waste cooking grease or algae, preferably), it would be fairly green (not a bicycle for sure, but better than a lot of what's on the road).
The vehicle is fitted as standard with a comprehensive range of comfort and safety equipment including air conditioning, seven individual seats, six airbags and ABS.

08 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Pictures

Subaru has at last revealed details of its hardcore new Impreza WRX STI which is substantially different to the non-turbo five-door models now being delivered to first customers.

And with a heavily-revised new 296 bhp turbocharged 2.5 liter 'boxer' engine, totally new platform and suspension plus even more advanced symmetrical all-wheel drive system, the World Rally Championship look-alike is sure to satisfy Subaru traditionalists.

At the rear, four exhaust pipes twinned in pairs at either side of the body not only give a distinctive look but reduce exhaust air-flow resistance by 38 per cent, increasing power and reducing noise.
