Peugeot Foodtruck Concept


Peugeot hasn’t announced any important models at the 2015 New York Auto Show, instead it had the opportunity of launching online the odd yet interesting Peugeot Foodtruck Concept, a model which is destined for mobile food delivery, being generically named a “mobile bistro”.
The Peugeot Foodtruck Concept popping up on the web ahead its official debut at an event in Paris, was build and designed by Peugeot Design Lab, which is set to be displayed at the 2015 Milan Design Week, starting April 14th.

Representatives from Peugeot have already started offering some details with the launching of Peugeot Foodtruck Concept, stating that the model “will take up residence at the Peugeot stand during the 2015 Milan Design Week, before travelling the few miles across town to set up outside the French Pavilion for the 6 months of the 2015 World’s Fair Expo Milano. It is sure to be one of the Pavilion’s stars.”

Little it is known about the Peugeot Foodtruck Concept at this very moment concerning performance or pricing, but officials also stated that the model has been created based on the Boxer model, which can serve for different turistic destinations in different French cities, and provide food for around 30 people. The food is preserved in a 400-liter refrigerated compartment, while the drinks will be restored and kept fresh in a 350-liter refrigerator. The foodtruck also contain a deep fryer, two grills and four induction burners.

2016 Lexus RX


I have had the great pleasure of seeing a lot of interesting and wonderful vehicles being displayed and officially launched at the present 2015 New York Auto Show and one of the models that I really set my eyes on is the gorgeous 2016 Lexus RX mid-size SUV. It is absolutely fantastic, from every angle.
I was first stroke by its unique body language, the one that Lexus has always accustomed us with, starting with the L-shaped taillights now enhancing LED technology, along with the daytime running lights, the fog lights, or the personalized dual-exhaust system. Of course, the body features don’t stop here.

Second, the cabin is also fully covered in different high-end materials, which would make this model extremely classy and luxurious, while the high-tech gizmos continue to amaze me: active stabilizer system, the instrument cluster fitted with the TFT Multi Information Display, the AVS-enhanced Sport + model, with the Eco, Normal and Sport features.

Under the hood, this new 2016 Lexus RX will be fitted with the 3.5-liter V6 engine, developing a good 300 horsepower in th 350h version, while the RX 450h will tweak a higher 3.6-liter V6, hooked by an electric motor, which outputs an overall of 300 horsepower. No performance details have been yet announced.

Range Rover SV


The 2015 New York Auto Show was the perfect opportunity for Land Rover to officially unveil the long-expected Range Rover SVAutobiography, which will come with a spicy price of $199,495 once it will be launched in the US, this fall.
As you can depict from the photos, this would be perhaps the top of the line model from the entire Range Rover fleet, as it was manufactured and equipped with different exclusive features, thanks to JLR SVO (Special Vehicle Operations).

The marks of JLR SVO can be first identified at the SVAutobiography`s body, as this wears the Graphite Atlas paintjob which comes in contrast with the polished chrome grille, the fresh lettering found on the hood, as well as the four-tailpipe exhaust system found at the rear end.

Inside, the Range Rover SVAutobiography comes with a lot of high-end materials, like the Windsor leather on the seats, wood flooring and a lot of safety systems.

Under the hood, the gorgeous model is taking pride with a 5.0-liter V8 supercharged unit, which develops 550 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, capable of reaching 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, at a topping of 225 km/h. A plug-in hybrid version will also emerge, along with other diesel burners.

2016 Range Rover Sport HST Limited Edition


Land Rover has already given us a closer look at the recently unveiled 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography at the 2015 New York Auto Show, and today, the British carmaker is back to present its latest edition from the Range Rover Sport fleet, which is the 2016 Range Rover Sport HST Limited Edition.
When we think of the 2016 Range Rover Sport HST Limited Edition, we think of a special model indeed, perhaps the top of the line SUV, which completes the model lineup with higher power, cooler body style and more advanced technology inside.

But perhaps the HST Limited Edition`s strongest point is the engine it will be fitted with under the hood, making it more powerful even than the Range Rover Sport. A 3.0-liter V6 supercharged engine, which delivers 380 horsepower, as opposed to the Sport`s 340 horsepower.

Of course that the engine is not the only strong point that makes the 2016 Range Rover Sport HTS Limited Edition a one-of-a-kind SUV, as the body design and fine cues also make it attractive. This would be translated through the black paintjob in contrast with the dark front and rear lights, gloss black finish on the hood, fog lamp surrounds, or the 21-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in dark satin grey.

Finally, the entire work is complemented by a series of fresh elements inside, like the high-end materials, including the Oxford leather upholstery, the ebony-color door trim, the interior trim with the “Sports” textured finish, or the HST name on the instrument panel, dashboard and more.

2016 Cadillac CT6


The Cadillac North American high-end manufacturer is now ready to tackle the luxury sedan segment by offering its German competitors a worthy model, in the shape of the newly unveiled 2016 Cadillac CT6 model, at this week`s 2015 New York Auto Show.

This would be the first striking sign that the 2016 Cadillac CT6 will resemble the BMW 7-Series in size, but it will weigh less, even compared to the BMW`s 5-Series, meaning around 3,700 pounds, as opposed to the rival`s 4000 lbs or even more.
And since lighter is better, the new model will also feature a lot of technological features, like Magnetic Ride Control used in the rear-wheel steering or damping. More than that, the Active Chassis System will also provide a shorter turning circle while parking in closed spaces.

And as expected, a plug-in hybrid version will also see the daylights in the near future.

2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder


The Porsche German carmaker has already introduced the long-rumored and expected 2016 Boxster Spyder at the 2015 New York Auto Show. The model is a tribute to the famous Spyder version from 1960s and will tweak some interesting old-school body features.
Will come with the latest technology in terms of performance, but it will keep a retro styling, since the doors will be closed and opened manually. The transmission will be also manual, which will be definitely a delight for old-school and traditional drivers.

But under the hood, the 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder will come with impressive power, thanks to a 3.8-liter flat-six engine, which will now deliver 375 horsepower, enough to reach 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 180 mph.
