2013 Scion FR-S revealed

Image
The Scion FR-S is the third and final product to emerge from the joint Toyota / Subaru 2+2 coupé project. As with the identical Toyota GT 86 and Subaru BRZ , the Scion version is a compact f ront-engine, r ear-wheel drive s ports car - hence the FR-S name. 2013 Scion FR-S. Scroll down for more images. Power comes from a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder boxer engine that features Toyota’s innovative D-4S direct and port injection system. Producing 197 bhp (147 kW / 200 PS) and 205 Nm (151 lb/ft) of peak torque, it will be available with a choice of either manual or automatic six-speed transmissions. However, just like its Toyota and Subaru partners, Scion is remaining silent on both performance and economy figures. The all-new bodyshell (which, despite its profile, isn’t a hatchback) has been engineered to deliver enhanced driving dynamics and handling. Consequently, the FR-S is lightweight, boasts a low centre of gravity and has a nicely balanced 53:47 front-rear weight distributio...

First Rossi Ducati unveiled

Image
That didn’t take long. Ducati has already begun to exploit the marketing potential of having Valentino Rossi riding for its MotoGP team by announcing a couple of special road bikes. The GP Replica kits are the latest offering from the Monster Art project, which allows owners of Ducati’s naked Monster to quickly and simply change the appearance of their machines. Comprised of graphics for the tank, pillion seat cover, front mudguard and bikini fairing, the colour schemes are inspired by the GP11 racers of Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi. Very smart they look, too. Perhaps using either the 848 or 1198 Superbikes as the basis for a homage to Ducati’s MotoGP efforts might’ve been more appropriate, but there’ll probably be more similarly-themed models in the future.

Honda RC213V unveiled

Image
Repsol Honda’s challenger for the 2012 MotoGP season , the RC213V, has been revealed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The new bike, which has a 1,000 cc engine in line with the increased capacity limit being introduced this year, will be ridden by Dani Pedrosa and reigning champion Casey Stoner. Stoner is being realistic about the team’s prospects, an understandable stance given that such a significant change to the technical regulations could potentially rewrite the formbook. Speaking at the unveiling, the Australian said: “After such a strong season in 2011, we remain focused and don’t expect to be in top form immediately. I am sure Honda have done a fantastic job with the new 1,000 cc machine over the winter break and I’m really looking forward to getting back on the bike and seeing what we can do, hoping to start strong again. “We know there will be a lot of serious competition out there, Ducati have been putting a lot of effort in as have Yamaha so it will be interesting to g...

Durango Special Service

Image
Dodge has launched the Durango Special Service SUV, which is aimed at law enforcement agencies, fire departments and other government fleet users. To ensure that it can cope with heavy duty use, the Durango features numerous upgraded components including the braking system, engine oil cooler, water pump, alternator and battery. There are a few changes to the interior too, but these are mainly to increase equipment carrying capacity. The third row of seats is deleted, for example, and extra storage compartments have been provided both underneath and to the sides of  the main cargo loadspace. One thing that’s identical to the regular Durango is the powertrain choice, meaning users will get to specify either the 290 bhp (216 kW / 294 PS) 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 or the 360 bhp (268 kW / 365 PS) 5.7 litre Hemi V8. Both options are available with rear- or all-wheel drive. Deliveries are due to start soon, and the Durango joins the Charger Pursuit saloon and Ram 1500 pick-up ...
