Fiat Punto





As a world premiere, Fiat will be presenting the refreshed Grande Punto at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show before the supermini goes on sale across Europe in late October. Now named 'Punto Evo', the Italian automaker's proposal in the hot B-segment has been given a mild exterior restyling, a reworked interior and an updated engine range that includes a 1.4-liter Multiair gasoline and a second generation 1.3-liter Multijet diesel.
Moving on to the engine range, there's a new 1.4-liter gasoline unit featuring the company's MultiAir system which uses electrohydraulic valve management to reduce fuel consumption by controlling air directly via the inlet valves without using the throttle.
Fiat did not release any performance figures but the automaker said that compared to a conventional petrol engine of the same size, the MultiAir unit develops up to 10% more power and 15% more torque while cutting fuel consumption and emissions by up to 10%.
There's also a second generation 1.3-liter Mulitjet diesel with a new common rail injector that offers an improvement of around 2% in consumption and CO2 emissions.
As a first, all Euro5 petrol and diesel engines in the range will be fitted with a Start&Stop system as standard.
Finally, all Punto Evos will get seven airbags as standard, including a driver knee airbag, while there's also a new "Blue&Me–TomTom" infotainment system that manages telephone, navigation and information functions on a color touch-screen.

Honda Accord Sedan and Coupe receive New Features























Changes for the 2010MY Accord include the expanded application of Bluetooth HandsFreeLink to vehicles equipped with leather seating surfaces that was previously exclusive to navigation-equipped models, new rear seat ventilation ducts on Accord Sedan EX and EX-L models and a more-contrasting "lighter" gray color theme for the climate control buttons on all models.
Also, on models equipped with the available dual-zone automatic climate control, the manual fan control override button now includes on/off functionality with corresponding changes to the button graphic while the dual-zone activation button name changes to "SYNC" from "DUAL" - supposedly for additional simplicity.
Currently available as a four-door sedan and a two-door coupe (the five-door Crosstour will enhance the rang this fall), the Accord is offered with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6.

Hamann's Beastly 600HP Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Supercharged




































Hamann's latest take on the Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG fits perfectly in this category of vehicles

As if the factory model's supercharged V8 with 507HP wasn't powerful enough, the German tuner performed its magic upgrades to bump output to 600HP and 782Nm or 577 lb-ft of torque. The modifications result to a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.1 seconds and a maximum speed of 261 km/h or 163mph. That's compared to the standard G55 AMG's 5.5 second sprint time and 210km/h or 131mph electronically governed top speed.
The package include fender extensions that broaden the G-model by 40 mm at the front axle and 60 mm at the back axle allowing the use of ridiculously large 24-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 315/35 R24 tires.
What some may call 'lipstick on a pig', Hamann identifies as an aero kit that comprises of a front spoiler with integrated LED daytime running lights, a rear skirt that incorporates a diffuser and a roof spoiler while the six tailpipes
Hamann offers a 14-part exterior set made of carbon fibre for the air inlets on the bonnet, radiator grill, headlight protective grid, mirror cases, door handles and air inlets in the side wings.The G55 AMG's interior can been deupgraded with aluminum accessories, a 24-part set made of carbon fibre, specific floor mats, a new steering wheel as well as custom velour upholstery.

The 'Spartan' package comprises of 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels that are available in various designs and a sport lowering kit that brings the four-seater coupe 30mm closer to the ground.
Prices for the alloy-tyre combos vary, but just to get an idea, a set of 20-inch 1/5 REVO wheels and tyres cost €3,969 (plus VAT)
