Economy situation in Europe has never been worse than this and new cars are feeling its effects seriously. Sales have reached an all-time low in Europe! Even the premium brands are not spared. But against all odds, the industry keeps marching on and latest cars are on display at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
One of the cars on display yesterday was the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo, which looks so much like the 2012 model year line-up. The most noticeable change to the Lamborghini Gallardo line-up is on the LP560-4 models. It wears a unique design in the front and rear, and this gives it a different look from the other Gallardo models. The Gallardo models join the 2013 Aventador by getting a new cylinder deactivation and a start/stop system (these help to improve the fuel efficiency), new carbon fibre accessory packages, new wheel options and a retuned suspension system (this helps handling).
At the on-going Paris Motor Show, Lexus also unveiled its new LF-CC concept at the on-going 2012 Paris Motor Show. You will also notice the LS600h Sport at the pavilion. The new LF-CC Concept is a front engine, rear wheel drive car that uses a hybrid powertrain. It uses a direct injection 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a generator. The LF-CC emits CO2 well below the 100g/km mark. The all-new LS 600h F SPORT showcases Lexus interior design direction and a bold exterior. It has an enhanced driving dynamics, and comes with world-leading refinement, luxury and some modern technologies.
Porsche was not left out at the 2012 Paris Motor Show; a new Panamera Sport Turismo concept was on display. The car fuel consumption is below 3.5 litres per/100km, and the petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain it uses looks like the mid-term future for low-emissions motoring. The plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a 333 HP 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine with a 95 HP electric motor and a 9.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. This enables the concept to achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in less than six seconds.
The Panamera Sport Turismo has come to solve any people’s problem. For those who love sports Cars, the fuel efficiency is an added attraction. If you are one of those who want exclusivity, the car is perfect for you. It will give you the class you yearn for and attract all passer-by.
Ferrari also unveiled some cars today. Among these, was the gorgeously-designed 2013 Ferrari FF. The car comes with a full-length panoramic roof which according to the renowned automaker is a special reflective glass (LowE), and it gives the car occupants an open-air feeling when driving in the car. The panoramic roof also provides thermal and acoustic insulation. Other than knowing that it is a full-length panoramic roof, additional details remain scarce.
The 2012 Paris Motor Show is really hot now, and tomorrow promises to be even hotter.
