OPEL, German Police
The Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, the sedan version of which is marketed in the States as the Buick Regal, has been recruited for duty by the Polizei force of the German State of Hesse. The authorities announced today that they have ordered a total of 800 patrol cars from Opel, with the first 100 examples to be delivered this year.
Ferrari Unleashes 458 Italia Grand Am
Italian sports carmaker Ferrari has set its eyes on the North American Grand Am series, which it plans to compete in with the new 458 Italia Grand Am that was given its track baptism today at the Fiorano circuit completing several laps in the hands of Maurizio Mediani and Jaime Melo.
Developed in cooperation with Michelotto Automobili, the racing model is based on the European GT3 version of the 458 Italia but features less efficient aerodynamics as well as a detuned V8 delivering 500-horses due to the different regulations in the American series.
In addition, the Grand Am sports a modified braking system, as the car has neither ABS nor traction control.
Other differences compared to the GT3 include the strengthened roll-over bar to deal with the more frequent collisions in the American series, while the car is also fitted with Continental tires, the sole supplier to the series.
PORSCHE RELEASES NEW 911 PERFORMANCE DETAILS
Porsche has released a few details of the brand new 911 Carrera and Carrera S, set to debut in South Africa in 2012. Pictures of the car were leaked a few days ago ahead of its debut at Frankfurt International Motor Show.
The two motors mentioned are a 3.4-litre Carrera and a 3.8-litre Carrera S, both naturally aspirated boxer types. The 3.4-litre has a power output of 257kW, and averages a claimed 8.2 litres per 100km when mated to the optional PDK transmission. Performance takes 4.5 seconds from naught to 100km/h and speedo stops at 288km/h. Power provided by the Carrera S is a meaty 294kW (same as the old 4.9-litre V8 BMW M5) and is said to go 0 – 100km/h in 4.2 seconds. That one achieves 8.7 litres per 100km.
The new 911 is about 45kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to an aluminium-steel composite construction body. Still, it has a 100mm longer wheelbase and a lower overall standing height.
Carrera will start selling in the USA from February 2012 at a base MSRP of US$82 100 (R589 300), while the Carrera S will go for US$96 400 (R692 000). They are US$3 100 and US$4 500 more expensive than current respective models.
TINIEST VOLKSWAGEN UP! FOR FRANKFURT 2011
Volkswagen has unveiled the Up! small city car, sometime ahead of its global debut at the 2011 Frankfurt International Motor Show. Up! with the exclamation mark, will be the brand’s smallest car, going up against the likes of Toyota Aygo, Chevrolet Spark and Peugeot 107.
Up! is a tiny 3.5 metres long and 1.64m wide and has a 2.4m wheelbase, which means two can park in the space of an Audi A8. The traditional front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout has been favoured. The engine is also a small 1-litre petrol motor offered in either 44kW or 55kW, depending on the model. VW claims the 55kW returns 4.3 litres per 100km on average and emits less than 100 g/km in C02s.
As you can see from the pics, the car can be fully equipped with some of the latest interior gadgets available from the VW stable, including satellite navigation, air conditioning and seat warmers.
There’s currently nothing to suggest the Up! is coming to South Africa at all, given the fact that we have a Polo Vivo in the entry-level segment.

Chevrolet Camaro Airbags Deploy While Drifting and Without an Accident!
That said, airbags are not meant to open without an accident of some sort. At least that's the theory because according to this Youtube video, the side airbags on this latest generation Chevrolet Camaro deployed without an accident while driver Paul Beiswenger was drifting the car at the Milan Dragway in Michigan.While Beiswenger was unhurt, the Youtube poster noted that his co-driver suffered some burns on her right arm.
We don't know all the details surrounding this specific mishap to pass a judgment, but as noted by a member of the Camaro5 forums, a similar incident involving a new Camaro occurred in Quebec, Canada, last fall.
According to the Sympatic Autos Teams, editor Antoine Joubert was driving the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS over at the oval track at Sanai when the side airbags suddenly deployed without any cause.
"I was at the wheel of the Camaro at a speed of 130-140 km/h on the oval track at Sanair when suddenly, for no apparent reason, the side curtain airbags deployed!" said, Antoine Joubert. "I was driving in a straight line, at a constant speed, on the pavement. The electronic stability control wasn't disabled and the car had no mechanical problems."
We'll try to find out more details about the incident and keep you posted on any updates.
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Racer 2012
The all-new 911, code-named 991, may be just around the corner with its debut coming next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but that doesn’t mean that Porsche is done with the soon-to-be-replaced 997.
At least not with its racing version, the GT3 Cup, which with more than 2,200 units sold, is the number one preference for customer racing teams worldwide.
Now, Porsche has unveiled the 2012MY 911 GT3 Cup. It is based on the 991 (997) GT3 RS, with the 3.8-liter flat-six engine producing an identical 450HP at 8,500 rpm.
However, it does get a race exhaust system that features a controlled catalytic converter to reduce CO2 emissions.
The new GT3 Cup has a larger 100-liter FT3 safety fuel tank, which is filled via an opening in the hood. According to Porsche, this change makes the car more suitable for a wider range of endurance racing.
The Porsche racer rides on 18-inch wheels shod in 25/64-18 front and 30/68-18 Michelin racing tires.
Both the front and rear anti-roll bars are adjustable in seven positions in order to achieve a customized set-up for each occasion.
In addition, the Porsche Mobil1 Supercar racers, which support the F1 championship, get exclusive use of the PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes that, compared to the composite cast units used in other race versions of the 911, reduce overall weight by 20 kg.
Deliveries of the new 911 GT3 Cup will start in September and the car will be available in this specification for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Pricing starts from €161,750 (~ US$228,700) not including local taxes.
Land Rover Defender New 2.2L Turbo Diesel 2012
There may be talk of a new Defender on its way with rumors of a concept model making its appearance as early as next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but for now, Land Rover is updating the current version with a new turbo diesel engine and the introduction of two new option packages for the 2012 model year.
The most important change of course is the new, EU5 compliant, 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine that replaces the EU4 2.4-litre oil-burner found in the 2011MY Defender.
Despite the smaller capacity, the new four-cylinder diesel delivers the same power and torque as the outgoing unit with 122PS at 3,500rpm and torque, 360Nm (265.5 lb-ft) at 2,000rpm.
The new engine also comes with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), while it's more frugal and delivers lower levels of the regulated emissions, NOx, CO and HC than its predecessor.
Land Rover says CO2 emissions on the combined cycle are consistent at 266g/km for the 90 and 295g/km for the 110 and 130 models.
Performance remains similar, however, top speed has been raised to 90mph (145 km/h) compared to 82mph (132 km/h) for the previous version.
Power is transferred to all four wheels through a GFT MT 82 six-speed gearbox.
Also new for the 2012 model year Defender is the addition of two new optional packages:
- Comfort Pack - Air conditioning, CD Player with auxiliary input, electric windows and remote central locking, priced at £1650.
- Off-Road Pack - ABS, heavy duty rim and MTR tyre, tow ball and under-ride protection bar, priced at £1500.
Other changes include the plain black Pick Up hood that will now be available as an option whilst a plain beige hood is introduced for the 110 Double Cab Pick Up, plus the addition of tinted glass on all models.
UK sales of the 2012 Defender begin in November with prices starting from £20,995 on the road.
