The 2011 Mazda Takeri Concept exhibits a new and revolutionized way of driving.

Armed with the new SKYACTIV D clean diesel engine, this new car from Mazda ensures future car owners the best fuel efficiency offered in a sedan car from Mazda that is not a hybrid system.

A New Engine

The Takeri Concept’s engine is combined with the powerful six speed auto transmission which they call SKYACTIVE Drive. This will give every person a comfortable and safe experience on the road in a diesel powered car.

A diesel car but revolutionized to bring speed and great performance with the SKYACTIV technology from Mazda will bring car users in a new age. All these innovations give the car of up to 1,500 kilometers per hour when it comes to its cruising speed.

Exterior

This new car is a catch since it gives people elegance and diversity with the design. Molding it to be a stylish and still sporty, this sedan will give everybody the option to use it anywhere, anytime.

The exterior of the Takeri Concept has the embodiment of an animal that is ready to pounce. Even the fenders of this car resemble a cheetah in motion, ready to fire off to a great distance in no time.

i-ELOOP

Mazda also incorporated its i-ELOOP system to provide drivers the best fuel economy and driving performance every day. The company’s i-stop system is also the first system in the world to achieve re-ignition with just a single compression.

This technology was developed to make a diesel powered car successful in the 2011 Mazda Takeri Concept. The new system inside a powerful and yet fuel efficient car will be welcomed by car enthusiasts and owners with open arms. Mazda has outdone itself. The Takeri is the embodiment of the powerful masculine power equipped with a striking balance for the future.

Specifications

The 2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept, a rear-wheel drive, front engine 2+2 hybrid sport coupe, was debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show with an eye toward indicating the direction of Lexus for the future.

The overall design concept embodied in the vehicle has its focus on the driver, but with a premium placed on elegance and beauty, futuristic technology, and evocative power.

Exterior Design

Starting with the front, designers employed a functional yet distinctive grille using Lexus elements. Using surround aluminum frames, the meshed spindle grille, allows the air intakes nestled in the lower corners give the face of the vehicle a functional air. “L”- shaped running light for daytime use and vertically-oriented fog lamps complete a unique but still-identifiable front-facing presentation.

The sleek glass roof and supports, suggests an open, greenhouse-style design and lends an airy quality to its sumptuous interior. The driver focus is evident here with increased visibility all around the concept car.

In the rear, design elements from the front have been carried over and augmented with inner-lit taillights and fog lamps with the same shape and patterning as the front lamps. The stunning design draws the viewer from the rear of the car to the signature quad exhaust pipe.

Interior & More

On the inside, the Lexus feels both open and secure, with a dual emphasis on high-technology and soft and organic forms and textures. Everything in the interior including the high-sitting console and the enveloping door panels seems to hug the driver and invite a focal point of the road ahead.

The instrument panel includes a touch-screen remote and 2 LCD screens. Using this interface the driver can control navigation tools, the sound system, and heating and cooling. On each door a touch screen allows side control of the seats, windows and mirrors. The front instrumentation is completed by layered displays that suggest a combination of retro analog style and futuristic digital elements.

With leather and metal, suede and wood carefully and artistically employed for finishing and trimming the seats and surfaces, the interior of the 2012 Lexus LF-LC Concept is elegant and advanced, comfortable and sleek, and all Lexus.

The 2013 Volkswagen Passat CC is the newest model in Volkswagen’s Passat CC line, which began in 2008. The Passat has been sold since 1973, and was made as an evolution of the smaller Volkswagen models that had front-wheel drive and was large enough to use as a family car.

The CC is a four-door coupe Passat model, and has become one of Volkswagen’s more luxurious cars.

The Volkswagen Passat CC is a continuation of this push for a luxurious Volkswagen model, and is considered to be serious competition for the Mercedes CLS. The Passat CC line is often referred to simply as “CC”, and offers several unique features.

Performance

The CC comes equipped with a lane-departure warning system as well as hands-free parking. The engine can be upgraded from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder to a 3.6-liter V-6. The V-6 also offers all-wheel drive. The CC has fantastic fuel economy, averaging 31 mpg highway for the standard engine and 28 for the 280-horsepower engine.

While the CC offers many features in common with cars that have more of an elegant reputation, it has a much lower price tag than competitors like the Mercedes CLS. You can expect to pay less than $30,000 for a CC with many options.

Many customers appreciate the price in combination with the German engineering that has come to make Volkswagen a popular car in America. The CC continues with the sound engineering of its previous models with 12.3-inch disc brakes on all wheels, along with a multi-link suspension.

Special Features

Of course there are also the extras that draw many people to the CC. These include keyless entry, button and remote starting, and the ability to heat the interior before even getting into the vehicle.

The inside of the car is comfortable and roomy, and resembles the popular style that represents Volkswagen so well. All these features combine to make the CC a viable member of the luxury class.
