2012 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe

The BMW 6 Series is quite a hallmark achievement by itself. Available as a coupe and convertible, these cars are some of the best 4 seat luxury sports coupe. BMW has decided to further expand the 6-Series product line for 2012.

The final product is the 2012 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, a completely different model but just as awesome as its other 6 Series siblings.

Exterior & Interior

The Gran Coupe looks completely different from your typical 6 Series car mainly because it has 2 additional doors, making it a saloon that technically aimed at cars such as the Mercedes Benz CLS. In fact, the wheel base is stretched by about 4 inches to do just that, enhancing leg room on the process and giving this car an expanded 4+1 seating arrangement. Speaking of the seats, the interior is still as flawless as ever, being luxurious and driver centered at the same time.

Performance

And then there are the engine options. There are 2 engine options available for the Gran Coupe, and both are innovative in their own right. There is a 4.0 liter 6 cylinder engine, a turbo diesel engine, and a 5.0 liter V8. With a combination of features such as turbochargers, direct injection, and BMW’s Valvetronic technology, each engine option is a combination of brute power, seamless performance, and optimal efficiency.

The 2012 BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is one state of the art device. Possessing the best that BMW has to offer, this car has just about everything that you are looking for in a luxury sport 4-seater.

Terrible Dangers Found in Automobiles

If you are all of a sudden finding yourself sick and you do not know the reason, you may very well want to check the toxicity levels in your vehicle. There have been many studies recently done that show that the toxic levels of vehicles are much higher than they should be for the safety of many people riding in cars today.

Below we will show some of the types of toxic chemicals that are in vehicles today, the health problems that they cause, and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming overwhelmed by these toxic dangers inside of your own transportation.

- Phthalates

Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are basically used as plasticizers, or substances that are added to plastic material to increase their longevity, flexibility, durability and transparency. The term phthalates includes a long, long list of different types of products that are used in this manner, one of those being inside the materials in the interiors of many vehicles.

Many studies around the world have found that over 60% of all vehicles contain these highly toxic materials in the armrests, dashboards, seat covers and floors. As many of these materials are plastic, phthalates are quite often added to the mix before they are put into cars to get the feel of hard plastic that we find so ubiquitous in vehicles today.

However, we should perhaps take a second look at these materials. Exposure to phthalates can lead to many long-term health problems, including liver damage, premature birth, and many other gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases that cannot be cured.

- Asbetos

Mostly in older vehicles, asbestos was used throughout many manufacturers for different parts of the automobile. These parts include brake pads, gaskets, hood liners, clutch linings, drums, etc. Asbestos would help reduce heat from these parts and let off tiny particles into the air. Asbestos exposure can lead to an aggressive disease called mesothelioma. Hobbyists and mechanics must be careful and take safety precautions.

- PBDEs

Perhaps the only other kind of material that is more hazardous to human health that is commonly used inside of vehicles are the group of substances known as PBDEs. These substances can give those who are exposed to it and even greater risk of even greater long-term diseases such as mesothelioma, asthma and many other diseases that have no cure.

Nonetheless, there has been absolutely no move by anyone in the automotive industry or in government to respond to these tests that were made around the world by many reputable independent third-party sources. As a matter of fact, auto lobbyists have been able to successfully keep the eye of the government off of the use of these toxic chemicals inside of vehicles because of the volatile economy, which has been focused on the automobile industry in recent years.

However, as the economy begins to heal, perhaps it is time for people to focus more on the health aspects of driving in vehicles these days, even as we dictate that the gas mileage on vehicles be much, much higher than in the past.

2014 Cadillac ATS-V

Cadillac seems to be just about done filling in all of the blanks in their popular CTS model, so it was high time for them to provide some definitive details on their next project: the ATS. Prepared to slide in right below the CTS and all of its variants, the ATS should be debuting in sedan form in 2012. That’s all fine and dandy, but we are much more interested in the variant following that unveiling with the ATS-V in 2014.

First rumored in 2008, the ATS is ready to go and will be built on GM’s new Alpha platform with a rear wheel drive system. Its design will be inspired by Cadillac’s Art and Science design language which "incorporates sharp, sheer forms and crisp edges — a form vocabulary that expresses bold, high-technology design and invokes the technology used to design it."

The ATS-V was first thought to carry a 470 HP V8 engine as found in the CTS-V, but worried that the car would then take sales away from its bigger brother, Cadillac opted for a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 that will produce around 380 HP. The engine will be mated to a six speed manual or automatic transmission and the combination will get the ATS-V coupe to 60 mph in under five seconds with a top speed of above 170 mph. This engine choice fits in nicely with the ATS-V’s biggest rival, the BMW M3, but Cadillac may need to up the ante in terms of power for the competition to be a bit stiffer. The future M3 will produce around 450 HP and should get to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds, but top speed will be electronically limited to 155 mph.

The full line of ATS models should cover a sedan in 2012, the ATS-V and Coupe in 2014, and an ATS-V Convertible in 2015. Stay tuned for more details!

Bentley plans for the future with hybrid models and hopes to snag Maybach customers

Bentley is extensively prepping for their future with a couple of new paths to higher sales. Just recently, the company has downsized from a W12 to a V8 engine and their next course of action is to offer a plug-in hybrid model. In an interview with Car and Driver, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer reported that the hybrid system could be based on Volkswagen technology and that it could combine either a W12 engine or a V8 engine with an electric motor placed between the engine and transmission. This system will allow an electric-only range of 16 to 19 miles - a relatively good range considering we are talking about very heavy vehicles.

Another new direction Bentley is taking, and probably the stranger of the two, is their announced plans to steal customers from Maybach. This bit of news came shortly after Mercedes announced that the last Maybach unit would be produced in early 2013. Bentley hopes that this termination of production will get stars like hip-hop artist Jay-Z, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and King Juan Carlos to turn their attention from the old Maybach models to Bentley’s line-up. We would think that Rolls Royce would be a good candidate as well, but Bentley wouldn’t be a bad way to go either.

"The withdrawal of Maybach is a business opportunity for us and we’re going to use it," Bentley Chief Executive Wolfgang Duerheimer told Reuters. And they aren’t too worried about Mercedes’ decision to offer an S600 Pullman because "they wanted something more exclusive than a Mercedes in the first place, so Rolls or Bentley would seem an obvious substitution."

In this war, Bentley has the advantage of planning a large luxury SUV that will be placed over the top Cayenne and it will be "highly customizable, including a wealth of interior materials and a choice of four- or five-passenger configurations."

Spy Shots: BMW 4-Series Coupe caught testing again

BMW is playing around with its lineup these days, providing a couple of models with different names, depending on their body styles. The first to get that differentiation was the 3-Series, with the sedan and station wagon versions keeping the 3-Series name and the coupe and convertible getting tagged as 4-Series models. The BMW 3-Series sedan has already debuted, but the coupe and convertible models are still undergoing testing proven by the new series of spy shots for the upcoming 4-Series Coupe.

The future BMW 4-Series Coupe will be a smaller version of the current 6-Series with design elements borrowed from its 3-Series sedan brother. But the fact that it is a coupe model will make it sportier and more aggressive. The model will be immediately recognized as a BMW thanks to the usual design features: new-style exposed, three-dimensional BMW double kidney grille and a larger rear window.

Under the hood of the 4-Series, BMW will place the same engines as in the sedan version - including two petrol and two diesel - with output going up to 306 HP for the most powerful version - the 435i.

Porsche’s Baby Boxster not ready to take on the world just yet

Excitement spread when Porsche revealed plans to bring in a smaller model to their line-up, but that fire will surely extinguish now that the company has announced that they think the current generation won’t appreciate a smaller sports car. During a recent interview, CEO Matthias Mueller said: ’’Possibly we need to wait until the next generation of customers before the idea of a small roadster will work for Porsche."

The future baby Boxster, or 550 as it was rumored to be called, was supposed to be launched by 2014 and, next to the upcoming Cajun, was part of Porsche’s attempt to boost annual global sales to more than 200,000 units by 2018. Apparently, Porsche will now be looking for a different tactic to achieve that same goal.

As far as Mueller is concerned, that new tactic can be found in a new new sports car positioned above the 911 that will be priced somewhere between 300,000 euros ($380,000 at the current rates) and 400,000 euros ($506,000 at the current rates). That is about half the price of the production version 918 Spyder set to arrive in 2014.

Nowadays, research is showing that the "new car smell" we once treasured is dangerous to our health. Old and new cars are full of toxic chemicals, inside and out.

Asbestos, which is known to cause the deadly lung disease, mesothelioma, was still used by manufacturers as late as 1995. Many older cars still have asbestos in brake pads and clutch linings. If proper precautions such as respirators and disposal of used parts are not employed when repairing these parts, especially mechanics, sharp asbestos fibers may be inhaled where they cause scarring, and, over time, lung cancer.

In car interiors, studies have shown that without adequate ventilation, and when exposed to hot conditions such as open parking lots on sunny days, dangerous levels of benzene, phthalates and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PDBEs) are released into the air inside the car, accumulating in the dust that collects on dashboards, window surfaces, seats and carpets.

Let's examine why these chemicals are used, their health effects, and whether there are less toxic alternatives to their use:

Benzene is a byproduct of petroleum, and accumulates in the liver and kidneys. Think of the many petroleum-based parts of your car interior: the plastics of the dashboard, vinyl seats, door panels, consoles and carpeting. On warm days, benzene is released from these parts and is inhaled. Avoid concentrated exposure by airing out your car before entering on hot days.

Phthalates keep the plastic parts of your car flexible. Modern cars are made with a great deal of plastic to reduce weight and increase fuel efficiency. Unfortunately, what works for the manufacturers is bad for your health. Phthalates are released by heat, and concentrate in dust and windshield film. Phthalates cause birth defects in rats, though research in humans is still widely debated.

PDBEs are used by car manufacturers as flame-retardants. Consider all the parts of your car's interior that catch fire, and that's where you'll find them. Carpets, the foam cushions of the seats, the fabric on the sun visor and seat covers, even your child's car seat is treated with PDBEs. Though human studies are ongoing, animal studies have shown that PDBE exposure causes neurological and reproductive problems.

What's being done about these dangerous chemicals? Car companies in Japan and Sweden are aware of these toxins and their health effects and are working to mitigate your exposure, using fewer chemicals and better-designed ventilation systems. Another company in Sweden has developed a citrus-based flame retardant that has no toxic side effects and may one day replace PDBEs. In the meantime, keep your car's interior ventilated in warm weather. Keep the dust down by wiping down surfaces and windows, and clean carpets and cloth seats frequently with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum.

Gearworld’s Best of 2011: Supercar of the Year

Going through all of the glorious supercars of 2011 was no easy task, especially since it felt like every random country of the world was developing their own supercar. Each vehicle we came across deserved to have their time to shine on the list for best supercar of 2011, but as time went on, it was clear which ones stood out above all of the rest.

A couple of the supercars on the list shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially since they were created by one of the top supercar makers in the world. Then there are the relative newbies to the group that have received enough recognition to warrant praise from the average car enthusiast, but the final vehicle would probably not be recognized by many and its home country may actually cause ridicule to ensue. The end result, however, was enough to give it a spot on our list.

2012 Nissan Juke-S by Fox Marketing

The Nissan Juke-R that was revealed late last year caught a lot of people by surprise, not so much because it was done under our noses, but more so because it was a Nissan Juke being given such an impressive tuning program.

All that being said, some people have taken the Juke-R as a peg for their own programs for the Nissan crossover, including the boys over at Fox Marketing Cars. When they first got hold of what Nissan UK was building with the Juke-R, lightbulbs went off in their heads. So they went out and took a Nissan Juke and went ahead and built their own specially-tuned vehicle, called the "Juke-S."

Full details have yet to be revealed, but Fox has given us some tidbits of information to nibble over, particularly the impressive engine upgrade given to the crossover’s 1.6-liter MR16DDT engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 177 lb/ft of torque. Thanks to a turbo and intercooler upgrade, Fox Marketing was able to spike the Juke’s output all the way up to 400 horsepower.

Other upgrades given to the Juke include a new body kit, an eye-catching BASF Foxy Orange paint finish, a new set of 20" wheels with 14" six-piston caliper brakes, and an interior that will feature a pair of Yonaka Ronin racing seats.

Fox Marketing is preparing the car for its debut in the coming months to coincide with their 12th year anniversary. We’d love to see how the finished product turns out because looking at those two photos of the car, we can’t help but think just how hot it looks.

2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Super Sport

A few years ago, Bugatti had set out to create the world’s fastest convertible car. They wanted "a car that would redefine the boundaries of technology in automotive construction while appealing to the aesthetically inclined and connoisseurs of exceptional automobiles." This idea gave birth to the Veyron Grand Sport which debuted at the Pebble Beach Concours in 2008. Then, in 2010, Bugatti revealed the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport which had already been entered into the Guinness Book of Records with an average top speed of 431 km/h (267 mph). These two Bugatti models have had a successful go around in the automotive world, but at the tail end of the Veyron’s production, Bugatti has decided to smash these two vehicles together for one last and unforgettable special edition. World, meet the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Super Sport.

Just last week, Bugatti CEO, Wolfgang Durheimer, was discussing a future special edition displaying a Super Sport package for the Veyron Grand Sport model - the Veyron’s open top model. We figured this vehicle would be seen in a couple of years, but our spy photographers have already captured the first images of the vehicle entirely free of its camouflage.

UPDATE 01/04/2012: Bugatti has confirmed that the convertible version of the Veyron Super Sport will be making its world debut in March at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

2012 Mercedes SLS AMG by Prior Design

To say that Prior Design has been pretty busy with aerodynamic programs for the past couple of months is the first understatement anyone has said since the calendar turned to 2012.

The German tuning firm has released plenty of new widebody kits, including one for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class less than a month ago and another for the BMW 5-Series only six days ago. Now it appears that they’re far from finished, especially after they released the first teaser photo of their next project involving Mercedes’ resident supercar, the SLS AMG.

The entire kit is still not complete, but judging from the teaser photo, Prior Design is taking a different approach on the SLS AMG with a kit that’s far more aggressive and flashy than any of their previous works.

Our trained eyes are seeing a vented hood, a revised front bumper with a few air intakes, and a spoiler lip that appears to have been made in carbon fiber. In addition, we’re also looking at new side vents, new side skirts, and flared wheel arches. Though there are no shots of the rear end of the SLS AMG, we expect Prior Design to have an extensive kit on that side too, possibly a rear wing, a boot lid, and maybe even a new diffuser with new exhaust tailpipes.

Performance figures are probably out of the question basing on recent history, but that’s not to say that the SLS AMG is a slouch on the road that needs extra juice. The German supercar still packs a 6.3-liter V8 engine that develops 563 horsepower and 479 lb/ft of torque. If we could get that bodykit with those performance numbers, we’d gladly take it too.
