<i>2015 Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix Champion : </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Lewis Hamilton #44 Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lewis Hamilton is on the cusp of 2015 Formula 1 World Championship title after a dominant win in the Russian Grand Prix, coupled to an early retirement for main rival Nico Rosberg, saw him move 66 points clear with four races remaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>Already starting the weekend with a 48 point cushion over Rosberg, though Hamilton had struggled to match his team-mate around the Sochi Autodrom in qualifying following disruption in all free practice sessions, his main rival's exit on lap five with a throttle pedal issue would ultimately set the tone for the afternoon.<br />
<br />
Indeed, it was Rosberg that would successfully get away well and hold his position through the turn one kink and into the tighter second bend, ahead of Hamilton and the fast-starting Kimi Raikkonen up from fifth.<br />
<br />
Behind them, the tricky funnel into the right-hander would see Nico Hulkenberg spin on the outside, only to slide back across the field. Scattering the pack and forcing Max Verstappen to spin in avoidance, the unfortunate Marcus Ericsson proceeded to collect the Force India and put both drivers out on the spot.<br />
<br />
Prompting an early safety car, Rosberg got away well at the restart, but was instantly on the radio to complain of an apparent problem with his throttle pedal. Persevering for one more lap, when Rosberg ran wide at turn two on lap four, Hamilton quickly pounced to snatch the lead.<br />
<br />
However, it was soon clear Rosberg's issue was more terminal than initially feared as he slowed to a canter and made his way to the pit lane to retire. Marking his second DNF in four races, the exit all-but-ends Rosberg's title aspirations, with Hamilton needing to out-score him by just two points in the final four races to eliminate his team-mate from the reckoning.<br />
<br />
With his main rival out, Hamilton set about establishing his advantage over now Valtteri Bottas, the Finn having slipstreamed past Raikkonen at the restart to move into what was now second place, ahead of his countryman, Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez.<br />
<br />
On a weekend that has seen several sizeable crashes in both F1 and the support classes, the paddock would hold its breath again on lap 11 in the aftermath of a heavy crash for Romain Grosjean, who lost control of his Lotus through the long left-hander at turn three and struck the barriers hard. Despite the severity of the impact, Grosjean extricated himself from the wreckage and has declared himself unhurt.<br />
<br />
Forcing the safety car to make its second appearance, it would prompt a handful of drivers to attempt an alternative strategy, with Perez (5th), Daniel Ricciardo (8th) and Carlos Sainz – impressing having been in hospital less than 24 hours earlier – all diving for the pit lane for their planned single stop.<br />
<br />
With Hamilton persevering out front, he quickly switched from fuel saving mode to all-out attack, quickly putting distance between himself and Bottas, while the Ferraris disputed third place behind. Having gotten a run on Raikkonen into turn two, only to be spurned with a bit of robust defence from his team-mate, Vettel eventually planted the pass successfully at turn five to move ahead on lap 17.<br />
<br />
From here the race began to settle, Hamilton multiplying his lead over Bottas, who was the first of the leading drivers to pit for new tyres on lap 25. Allowing Vettel clean air to push, the German's stop on lap 29 would duly see him emerge ahead of the Finn on resumption.<br />
<br />
Even so, with the various strategies playing out, though Hamilton remained comfortably in front when he pitted on lap 31, it was Perez that would emerge in second place, his strategy gamble paying off as he led Vettel, Ricciardo, Bottas and Raikkonen with 20 laps remaining.<br />
<br />
Perhaps inevitably, Vettel wasted no time in using his fresher rubber to snatch second from Perez on lap 32, but Bottas and Raikkonen's progress up the order would prove slower.<br />
<br />
Bottled up behind Ricciardo initially, Bottas and Raikkonen took until laps 45 and 48 of 53 to disperse of the Red Bull, leaving them with just a handful of laps to get onto the tail of Perez, who by now was in tyre protection mode.<br />
<br />
Quickly catching the Force India as the end of the race loomed, it appeared the Mexican would have the pace to keep his rivals behind him, only for Bottas to dive for the position towards the end of the penultimate lap. Forcing him wide, Raikkonen duly followed through to demote Perez to fifth.<br />
<br />
However, the fight for third was not over as the race entered the final revolution and when Raikkonen's attempted to pass Bottas at turn four, he instead clipped the Williams, sending furious Finn spinning into the barrier and out of the race.<br />
<br />
With damage to his Ferrari, Raikkonen continued on but the clash would promote a thrilled Perez back up to third place to complete only the third-ever podium finish for the Force India team.<br />
<br />
Further up the road, however, it was Hamilton celebrating yet another win, his ninth success of the season putting him into a very comfortable position in the overall standings with four races remaining.<br />
<br />
Indeed, it is Vettel that is now classified as Hamilton's nearest championship rival, his second place lifting him past Rosberg in the standings. However, with 66 points between the two rivals, Hamilton needs to out-score the Ferrari by just nine points in the USA to seal the title early.<br />
<br />
Behind a jubilant Perez in third, Felipe Massa gave Williams something to smile about with a charging drive to fourth place from 15th on the grid, the Brazilian the main beneficiary from a race of high attrition. Indeed, with an unfortunate Ricciardo retiring with four laps remaining following technical issues, Bottas' crash and Raikkonen's damage, he gained three places in the closing stages.<br />
<br />
With Raikkonen still under investigation, he remains a provisional fifth, ahead of home hope Daniil Kvyat, who gave fans something to cheer in sixth, while Felipe Nasr picked up a strong seventh place finish for Sauber after an untroubled performance.<br />
<br />
His second consecutive top ten finish in a row, Pastor Maldonado crossed the line in eighth for Lotus, while McLaren were also beneficiaries of the various dramas as they picked up a double points' finish in ninth and tenth, Jenson Button leading Fernando Alonso.<br />
<br />
With Verstappen's spin and puncture on the opening lap putting him out of contention, Toro Rosso's fortunes looked set to rest on Sainz, who was putting in a fine effort given his minimal laps of the Sochi Autodrom. However, after the Spaniard got up to a net eighth place, a problem with the car would see him spin off and out of the race.<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XyNe-6Qlxws/VhTSHvavsCI/AAAAAAABxcA/8AeO8a6JQlQ/s1600/2016_M4-GTS_0035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XyNe-6Qlxws/VhTSHvavsCI/AAAAAAABxcA/8AeO8a6JQlQ/s640/2016_M4-GTS_0035.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><i>BMW M4 GTS</i></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BMW M4 GTS gives BMW M GmbH a new and exclusive technological showpiece which elevates the potential of the BMW M4 Coupe to another impressive new level. With its powerful, motor sport-inspired looks and high-performance technology, the BMW M4 GTS has its sights set squarely on the race track. A lap time of 7.28 minutes around the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the world’s most exacting race circuit, is a clear statement of this special-edition model’s exceptional abilities. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1uEYn2RS2pU/VhTNU5wysxI/AAAAAAABxYw/8wUeYQxEIrw/s1600/2016_M4-GTS_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1uEYn2RS2pU/VhTNU5wysxI/AAAAAAABxYw/8wUeYQxEIrw/s640/2016_M4-GTS_0009.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same time, the sharpest BMW M4 of all – like its BMW M stablemates – can also hold its own on public roads. BMW M GmbH is launching the BMW M4 GTS in a special edition limited to 700 units to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the BMW M3, which has been in production since 1986. In so doing, it is highlighting the innovative flair of the BMW M engineers in developing trailblazing M technologies on the powertrain, chassis and lightweight construction front. The first high-performance special edition in the M3/M4 model range will also be available for the first time in the important North American market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Special-edition models like the BMW M3 GT, BMW M3 CSL, BMW M3 GTS and BMW M3 CRT have a decades-long tradition in our mid-size line-up – and that continues with the BMW M4,” says Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH. “They sharpen the character of the BMW M brand and embody an emotionally rich and exclusive driving experience. We’ve taken a radical route with the set-up of the BMW M4 GTS to create a sports machine for the race track that delivers top-end dynamics and inspirational performance. It allows us to demonstrate what is possible today with a road-legal car. Owners can drive their BMW M4 GTS to circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring or Laguna Seca – for clubsport events, for example – and then set lap times there that raise the bar to extremely high levels for road-legal cars.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Performance boost courtesy of innovative water injection.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the heart of each and every BMW M model is its engine. The BMW M4 GTS uses the multi-award-winning six-cylinder in-line turbo engine from the BMW M3/M4, but adds innovative water injection technology to give the 3.0-litre unit a substantial power boost. The water injection system raises the engine’s output significantly – to 368 kW/500 hp – and increases torque to 600 Nm (442 lb-ft), yet still keeps fuel economy and CO2 emissions at the level of the BMW M4 Coupe (8.3 litres per 100 km* [34 mpg imp], 194 g/km*). This makes the BMW M4 GTS the most agile, radical and dynamically potent model in the range. It races from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 3.8 seconds and hits a limited top speed of 305 km/h (189.5 mph).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Lightweight design extends into the details</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Intelligent lightweight construction allows the BMW M engineers to limit the car’s DIN kerb weight to 1,510 kilograms (ECE kerb weight: 1,585 kg). Its outstanding weight-to-power ratio of 3.0 kg/hp provides the perfect platform for a highly dynamic driving experience. The rigorous weight-saving measures extend through both the interior and exterior of the car. Inside, carbon-fibre bucket seats, a lightweight centre console, the lightweight construction of the rear seat panelling and boot area partition, and special lightweight door and side panel trim, including door pull loops in place of solid door handles, are clearly visible indications of the designers’ commitment to weight-saving. The rigorous application of lightweight design can also be seen in details that are out of view. The instrument panel bracing tube is made from lightweight carbon fibre. And on the outside of the car, the newly designed bonnet, roof and adjustable front splitter are also constructed from carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The adjustable rear wing, too, is cut from this light but extremely durable high-tech material. It rests on intricate, CNC-machined aluminium mounts fixed to the CFRP boot lid which likewise demonstrate how every detail, no matter how small, has been honed to minimise weight. Teaming up with the diffuser – again, made from carbon fibre – below the rear bumper, the rear wing optimises the flow of air and reduces lift at the rear axle. The exhaust system has a titanium muffler, which allows a weight saving of 20 per cent. Its emotionally rich soundtrack fits the M profile perfectly and envelops the inside and outside of the car in the ambience of the race track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Performance-maximising equipment features.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The standard-fitted seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) selects the optimum ratio for every driving situation with no interruption in the flow of power as it makes its way to the rear wheels. The driver can also select gears manually using either shift paddles on the steering wheel or the selector lever. The Drivelogic shift programs and Launch Control have been retuned to the engine’s increased output. The weight-minimised, exclusive M light-alloy wheels in star-spoke 666 M Styling are forged and polished, and come in Acid Orange. They are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres (front: 265/35 R19, rear: 285/30 R20) which are adapted specifically to the BMW M4 GTS and therefore play a role in the car’s outstanding mechanical traction and feedback through corners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The three-way M coilover suspension specially tuned for the BMW M4 GTS can be adjusted to individual tastes and therefore also to the demands of different race circuits. The lightweight M carbon ceramic brakes offer a well-defined pressure point and ensure outstanding deceleration even under sustained heavy loads, such as at the limit on the race track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>World-exclusive OLED technology, brilliant LED light.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The familiar two sets of twin circular headlights with four corona rings ensure the best possible illumination of the road surface. They combine cutting-edge LED (light-emitting diode) technology with BMW Selective Beam (dazzle-free high beam assistant) and Adaptive Headlights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The L-shaped rear lights are just as distinctive as the design of the headlights. Indeed, innovative OLED rear lights will make their series-production debut in the BMW M4 GTS. OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) are a new kind of light source that light up over their full surface with a very homogeneous effect – unlike LED units, which emit their light in the form of points. The flat design of OLEDs (they measure just 1.4 millimetres in height) and the ability to trigger individual light modules separately open up fresh possibilities for lighting concepts and exudes the presence of exceptional precision. As such, the tail lights underline the width of the rear end, lend the car an even more eye-catching and powerful appearance and ensure it cuts a stand-out figure in both the light and dark.</div>

<b>The interior – focused, exclusive and committed to motor sport.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The carbon-fibre M bucket seats for the driver and passenger stick firmly with the lightweight construction theme inside the pure-bred, exclusive interior. They weigh around 50 per cent less than the sports seats in the BMW M4 Coupe, enable an ideal seating position and offer compelling long-distance comfort to go with their unbeatable levels of support. The exclusive Alcantara/Merino leather seat covering along with M stripes in the backrests, three-point seat belts and door pull loops highlight the profile of the BMW M4 GTS as a high-performance sports machine as well as the car’s standalone character. The M4 GTS is fitted with different bucket-style M sports seats (including lightweight backrests with cut-outs) for the North American market, in line with local registration requirements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exclusive material Alcantara is also used for the M sports steering wheel, whose “12 o’clock” marker underlines the racing character of the BMW M4 GTS. In place of a rear seat bench, the BMW M4 GTS features a glass-fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP) shelf and a rear panel in carbon-fibre sandwich construction. Both are covered in Alcantara, and together they enable a weight saving of around 40 per cent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The optional Clubsport Package can further enhance the affinity of the BMW M4 GTS with the race track. It includes a roll bar in Acid Orange behind the front seats, a race-specification six-point harness** and a fire extinguisher.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans at the Nürburgring, where 69,000 spectators attended the event over the weekend, were treated to exceptionally good touring car racing: with entertaining position fights and closely-fought door-to-door duels, there were entertaining battles for the best positions and valuable points for the drivers’ standings in the 16th DTM race of the season. Miguel Molina only had little to do with all that: with a faultless drive, the Audi driver had his name written on the winners’ list at the Nürburgring and also scored his first major achievement in his 67th DTM race. Having started from pole position, the Spaniard scored a dominant and undisputed win in the 43 laps long DTM race on Sunday. “I have been waiting for a long time for my maiden win and now, we finally made it. Today is my day,” the jubilant winner said after the finish. Mercedes-Benz driver Paul Di Resta finished second in the Eifel, 7.5 seconds down. For the 2010 DTM champion, this was his best result of the season so far. BMW’s Bruno Spengler rounded out the Nürburgring podium by finishing third.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><b>RACE 1 - REPORT</b></span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: start;">In their home race at the Nürburgring, Maxime Martin and his BMW team RMG celebrated victory in their home round at the Nürburgring. Second place in the action-packed race on Saturday went to Audi driver Edoardo Mortara while points’ leader Pascal Wehrlein extended his lead by finishing third. Behind Wehrlein, three further Mercedes-Benz drivers finished in the top six.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span>
Standing on the roof of his BMW M4 DTM after a spectacular race, Martin cheered in the pit lane about the second DTM win of his career: “I am incredibly proud. Winning here at this track is simply just fantastic.” Audi driver Mortara made a comeback in the battle for the title by finishing second: “A great race in which I was rewarded with second place. That is great, but we want more.” Thrilling on-track duels marked the race on Saturday, in which the drivers didn’t give anything away between them. One of the drivers to experience this was Pascal Wehrlein in the first corner of the race, when he tangled with the eventual winner. Nevertheless, Wehrlein secured himself third place, extended his lead in the drivers’ standings, but still wasn’t entirely happy. “When you head into the first corner as the leader and then are being dealt such a blow, you just can’t be happy. But I have watched the footage of the situation once again. Maxime played it absolutely fair. There was a gap and he used it.” Especially the duels and the overtaking manoeuvres at the end of the main straight added plenty of top-class action to the race.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As so often this season, there was plenty of turmoil right after the start. Pole sitter Lucas Auer had to let Martin and Wehrlein, who started behind him, get past. The two tangled before the first corner while an unfazed Martin used a gap on the inside. While the BMW driver took the lead in the race, both Bruno Spengler, who had started from fourth, and Mortara, who was fifth on the grid, went past Wehrlein. For pole-sitter Auer, the action initially ended in seventh place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only soon after that, there was a collision between Jamie Green and Miguel Molina in the midfield that led to the interruption of the race (red flag). Rookie driver Tom Blomqvist had tangled with Green’s Audi in the Mercedes Arena, after which Green spun and Molina wasn’t able to avoid the collision. Oil and carbon parts on the track had to be removed, which was the reason that the race was interrupted for almost 15 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Directly after the restart, Martin pulled clear from the rest of the field and gradually extended his lead. “Still, it was a tough job, because my tyres significantly degraded towards the end of the race.” Behind the eventual winner, there was an entertaining three-way fight between title candidates Spengler, Mortara and Wehrlein. The Canadian with the black BMW defended his position for a long time, but Mortara made his decisive move for second place on lap 15: the Italian went past on the inside. A thrilling manoeuvre that couldn’t be completed without contact. “Initially, I was slightly worried that something could be damaged,” Mortara said, whose worries weren’t confirmed. For Spengler, however, the race was over after a few more laps. Initially, he tried to keep on, but had to stop in the pits on lap 18 with a puncture and a damaged front section of his car, and thus probably also saw his final hopes of winning the title fade away.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gary Paffett demonstrated his competitive skills once again and made it up from 14th on the grid to finish fourth. The two DTM rookies Maximilian Götz and Lucas Auer finished in fifth and sixth place. Seventh position went to last year’s champion Marco Wittmann, who successfully defended his position from eighth-placed Robert Wickens. With a surprising overtaking move in the chicane, António Félix da Costa secured ninth place and demoted Mattias Ekström to tenth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ekström, Wehrlein’s fiercest rival in the battle for the title prior to the race at Nürburgring, at least managed to make up seven places in the race, but probably still wasn’t quite happy. After all, Ekström’s gap to the 20-year old increased and he lost his second place in the drivers’ standings to fellow Audi driver Mortara. With three remaining races, Wehrlein has a total score of 155 points after 15 races, Mortara 128 and Ekström 127. Should Wehrlein take victory in the race on Sunday at 13.35 hrs and his rivals Mortara and Ekström don’t score, he can already be crowned as the 2015 champion.</div>

<span style="color: #3a3b3e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Lewis Hamilton had hoped to equal his hero Ayrton Senna’s tally of 41 race victories in Singapore, but in the end he did it at Suzuka - an altogether more appropriate venue given that the great Brazilian sealed all three of his world championship crowns there.</span></span></div>

<br />
Victory on Sunday ensured the Briton of a hat-trick of wins in Japan, though like Senna only two of Hamilton's triumphs have come at Suzuka, with his other coming at Fuji in 2007.<br />
<br />
Hamilton now has eight victories this season and needs just three more over the remaining five races to equal his personal best tally of 11 from last year.<br />
<br />
What’s more, the championship leader’s advantage over team mate Nico Rosberg now stands at 48 points. Since 2010, when the current scoring system was introduced, no driver has overhauled more than a 24-point deficit over the final five Grands Prix.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Rosberg, the German recorded his sixth second place finish of the season - and 16th over the past two years. The Mercedes driver has now spent 1,033 of his 9,697 Grand Prix laps to date in second place - considerably more than he’s spent in any other position.<br />
<br />
In a similar vein to Rosberg, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel has spent more time in third place this season (289 laps) than any other position, so it seemed only fitting that he should record his fifth third-place finish of the year at Suzuka. The German now has seven Japanese podium finishes to his name - one for every Grand Prix he’s competed in at Suzuka - and is just two off Michael Schumacher’s all-time record.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Nico Hulkenberg equalled his best finish of the season with a fine sixth place, and is now just one point back from Force India team mate Sergio Perez in the drivers’ standings. The Mexican meanwhile finished outside the top ten for the first time in four races.<br />
<br />
Behind Hulkenberg, Lotus recorded just their second double points finish of the season, with Romain Grosjean seventh and Pastor Maldonado eighth. Toro Rosso also got both cars home in the top ten, for the second race in a row and the third time this year.<br />
<br />
Toro Rosso’s race was in stark contrast to stable mates Red Bull who saw neither of their cars score points for the first time since last year’s Australian Grand Prix, 32 events ago.<br />
<br />
And finally, speaking of things that haven’t happened for a long time, Sunday’s race was the first since the 2011 European Grand Prix in which every car was a classified finisher. Sauber’s Felipe Nasr was the only driver not to take the chequered flag, but he had completed well over 90 percent of the race distance and hence was included in the results.<br />
<br />
<b>Race report</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After passing pole-sitting team mate Nico Rosberg into the first corner, Lewis Hamilton never looked back in Sunday’s 2015 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, easing to victory as Mercedes finished one-two ahead of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kimi Raikkonen was a distant fourth in the sister Ferrari, just ahead of Williams’ Valtteri Bottas. Nico Hulkenberg took sixth for Force India, followed by the Lotus duo of Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. The closely-matched Toro Rossos of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz completed the top ten.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was all action at the start. As Rosberg dropped down to fourth behind fast-starting Vettel and Bottas, Hamilton opened up an advantage that he maintained to the end. The world champion was 18.9s ahead at the flag, after Rosberg had fought back to get the undercut on Bottas and then Vettel during his two pit stops.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hamilton’s third victory in Japan - and his 41st overall, moving him level with Ayrton Senna’s tally - means he now has 277 points to Rosberg’s 229 and Vettel’s 218, with five races left.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mercedes’ return to form was emphatic, but Vettel fought bravely and was always a threat to Rosberg as they battled through late-race traffic. In the end the Ferrari was only 1.8s adrift of the second Mercedes, as team mate Raikkonen was a further 13s down the road in the other SF15-T after getting the undercut on Bottas during the second stops.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bottas’s fifth was some consolation for Williams, who effectively lost Felipe Massa at the start when he tangled with Daniel Ricciardo’s Red Bull approaching Turn 1. Both were out of contention for the rest of the afternoon as they limped back to the pits, the Brazilian with a punctured right-front tyre, the Australian with a punctured left rear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nico Hulkenberg drove a smooth and impeccable race to sixth for Force India, ahead of Lotus duo Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado who were seventh and eighth, 1.2s apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Max Verstappen was dropped from 15th to 17th on the grid for parking his stricken Toro Rosso on the racing line in qualifying, but fought through to an excellent ninth ahead of Toro Rosso team mate Carlos Sainz, whom he passed at the chicane on the 45th of the 53 laps. The Dutchman lost a lot of time initially bottled up behind Fernando Alonso’s McLaren and the Red Bull of Daniil Kvyat, who started from the pit lane after his heavy qualifying shunt. Verstappen eventually passed Alonso round the outside of Turn 1, and set after his team mate, who had been delayed after hitting a marker cone on the pit entry prior to a stop, necessitating a nose change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alonso expressed his frustration at a lack of power several times over the radio, but his gritty drive eventually yielded 11th, just outside the points. The battle for 12th, meanwhile, featured four cars and was eventually won by Force India’s Sergio Perez, who fought back from an off at Turn 1 on the opening lap when he got shoved wide after clashing wheels with Sainz. The Mexican passed Marcus Ericsson’s Sauber, who also got overtaken by Kvyat even though the Russian complained that his Red Bull had no brakes at various points of the afternoon. The Swede clung on to 14th ahead of Ricciardo, who spent all afternoon fighting back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a miserable race for Jenson Button, who couldn’t better 16th in the other McLaren ahead of the recovering Massa, while Alexander Rossi pushed Marussia team mate Will Stevens all the way and eventually took 18th ahead of him after the Englishman’s spectacular half spin in 130R. Stevens very nearly collected Rossi as he recovered, then had to sweep into the pits to serve a penalty for speeding there in his second stop. But he took 19th as Felipe Nasr retired his Sauber in the closing stages to become the race’s sole non-finisher.</div>

Huracán GT3 Customer Teams to represent Lamborghini Squadra Corse in first 24 hours of Daytona appearance Sant'Agata Bolognese, 21 September 2015. The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 will make its North American GT3 racing debut with confirmed entries into the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Daytona (GTD) class in 2016.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The official debut will be in the 24 Hours at Daytona on Jan. 30-31 with multiple customer teams, continuing Lamborghini Squadra Corse's tradition of customer support. There will be no factory entries, but all customer-racing teams will have factory support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lamborghini's move into GTD comes as the class adopts the 2016 FIA GT3 specifications for all of its entries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"We are only focused and committed to customer racing," Automobili Lamborghini Head of Motorsport Giorgio Sanna said. "For us, GT3 is the pinnacle of our strategy. We are excited to make this next step in North America as our motorsport program competes for the first time in Lamborghini history in the 24 Hours at Daytona and in multiple full-season GTD efforts."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The 585-horsepower Huracán GT3 was born from a desire to offer factory-built and supported cars to customers worldwide. It is the first GT3 car to be fully engineered, developed and assembled internally by Automobili Lamborghini.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The move to GT3 racing in North America is the exciting next step as the Lamborghini Motorsport program continues to build its racing ladder. The GT3 program is the top step of an impressive pyramid, which includes Lamborghini Esperienza and Accademia and three Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo series worldwide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

There are direct connections between two of the confirmed GT3 entries and Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America, which is in its third season. Change Racing and O'Gara Motorsports both will add Lamborghini Huracán GT3 programs in addition to their existing Super Trofeo North America efforts in 2016. In addition Konrad Motorsport, a powerful Super Trofeo Europe team, has confirmed participation in the 24 Hours at Daytona with the Huracán GT3.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Change Racing has been in the fold since the North American series inception in 2013. Change Racing is a past team champion and has fielded the driver champion two years in a row, in addition to winning the 2014 Pro-Am Super Trofeo World Finals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"I'm very proud to have the opportunity to grow our relationship with Lamborghini and compliment our Super Trofeo program with a GTD effort for 2016," Change Racing Team Principal Robby Benton said. "We've been fortunate enough to build a resume and footprint in the North American Super Trofeo Series and this is a logical next step for us. Lamborghini Squadra Corse has a very talented group supporting its customer-racing program. I have a lot of confidence in Lamborghini Squadra Corse and its vision for 2016."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
O'Gara Motorsport team owner Tom O'Gara has been involved with the Super Trofeo series in North American since 2013, but this is the first year for the team as a solo entrant. The team leads the championship in the team and Pro and Amateur driver categories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"We are very excited that O'Gara Motorsport will be participating in the inaugural season of the Lamborghini GT3 program in North America," O'Gara Motorsport Team Owner Tom O'Gara said. "We've won several races this season and have led the championship since the first race of our inaugural season of competition as a team. I'm confident that our GTD team next year will continue to showcase their hard work and commitment to achieving the winning tradition that we expect in our organization. We are also happy to create an opportunity for drivers to advance their careers after achieving success in our Super Trofeo program. Our team and I are looking forward to this next challenge."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Konrad Motorsport fields a three-car effort in Super Trofeo Europe this season. This will be a return appearance to the 24 Hours at Daytona for the team, which is no stranger to endurance racing, but the first with Lamborghini.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"I'm very happy to be back at Daytona with such a famous brand as Lamborghini," Konrad Motorsport Team Owner Franz Konrad said. "We do have a strong relation with Lamborghini that started back in 1991. We know Daytona well. We have raced there 16 times including the last three years. We also managed to win our classes and we are confident we can keep up our positive streak. Here in Europe we race in Super Trofeo and we are very happy with the product. The natural choice was to move on to GT3 racing. We will line up a car with the possibility of adding a second one."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Huracán GT3 will be eligible for all GT3 racing in North America.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 will be introduced in both North America and Asia, after having already proven itself in Europe this season running in the Blancpain Endurance Series with Grasser Racing Team, where it has won the season opener at Monza (Italy) in April.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>NEW YORK, N.Y.</b> – Volkswagen of America, Inc. is pleased to announce the debut of the new 2016 Volkswagen Passat, a midsize sedan that is designed for the American lifestyle and built in Volkswagen’s state-of-the-art factory in Chattanooga, Tenn. The 2016 Passat features a winning combination of design, interior and cargo space, class-leading technology, available driver assistance systems, and powerful, yet frugal, engines. In addition, a revised trim structure will enhance the Passat’s value story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wNjzhj0G6mo/VgD8bggAiSI/AAAAAAABvGE/2VBEkBpu9AI/s1600/2016_VW-PASSAT_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wNjzhj0G6mo/VgD8bggAiSI/AAAAAAABvGE/2VBEkBpu9AI/s640/2016_VW-PASSAT_11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Design</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Passat features more aggressive styling than its predecessor, with a new hood, front fenders, grille, front and rear bumpers, trunklid and available LED headlights and taillights. In short, the only sheetmetal that remains unchanged is the roof, the doors, and the body side stamping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“We applied a progressive design strategy with the new Passat, giving the car a dynamic presence and a more sophisticated look,” said Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design, Volkswagen. ”We have integrated several new design elements, including a sculpted, domed hood that significantly sets the car apart from its predecessor.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Slimmer headlights, a more substantial four-bar grille, and the muscular, domed hood all work together to give the Passat a wider, more planted stance from the front. At the back, the new car has a premium European-style flush rear license plate area. Additionally, a new chrome strip on the trunk makes the rear lights appear lower, enhancing the grounded appearance, while chrome on the window surrounds, bumpers, and door trim adds to the premium nature of the design. Available on all trim lines, dramatic LED headlights and taillights provide better lighting performance with reduced energy consumption.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For the first time, Volkswagen is offering an R-Line® version of the Passat. This sporty model features unique rocker panels, a stylized front bumper with contrasting black accents, a modified rear diffuser, and 19” anthracite Salvador aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 235/40 ZR rated tires.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Inside, the 2016 Passat gets an extensively upgraded interior, for a more sophisticated look and feel. A new instrument panel features two large gauges and the center stack incorporates VW’s latest MIB II infotainment system. The interior also features upgraded materials, a new steering wheel and column stalk design, two-tone décor panels, and refined chrome and piano black trim. Heatable rear seats are a new available feature, along with Easy-Open keyless access that opens the trunk via moving a foot near the rear of the vehicle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Technology</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Passat features Volkswagen’s second-generation “modular infotainment platform”, also known as MIB II. The system features touchscreens as standard equipment on all models. On most models, the display utilizes a capacitive touch sensor (similar to smartphone and tablet technology) enabling gesture controls like swiping and pinch-zooming rather than the resistive touchscreens that require pressure and have slightly longer response times. Most MIB II units also feature a proximity sensor, which detects when a hand is nearby and automatically switches its display to allow easier selection of specific features. USB and Bluetooth® connectivity are standard on all 2016 Passat models.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The MIB II system also serves as the foundation for the available Volkswagen Car-Net® system, one of the most comprehensive suites of connected vehicle services and features available in the automotive industry today. VW Car-Net includes App-Connect technology, featuring the three major smartphone integration platforms—Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®. This allows seamless integration with the vast majority of smartphones available today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Volkswagen also offers a combination of new safety and driver assistance systems in the 2016 Passat. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, standard on all 2016 Passat models, builds on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact—which can cause additional collisions. The system helps address this by applying the brakes after a primary collision is detected by the airbag sensors, thus helping to reduce residual kinetic energy and, in turn, reduce the chance of additional damage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Depending on trim level, Passat models come equipped with the following advanced driver assistance systems: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC); Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist); Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert; Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist), which actively steers the car back into its lane; and Parking Steering Assistant (Park Assist). All 2016 Passat models have rearview cameras as standard equipment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Powertrains</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Passat is available in the United States with three powertrains: the 1.8-liter turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® four cylinder; 2.0-liter TDI®; and the 3.6-liter VR6® engine, which makes 280 horsepower—one of the highest outputs in the midsize sedan class. The 2016 Passat 1.8T has an EPA estimated highway fuel economy rating of 38 mpg with the automatic transmission.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Full pricing for the new 2016 Passat will be available closer to launch later this year, but the 1.8T S model starts at $22,440, which is the same price as the previous base model when equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Passat is produced at the Volkswagen Chattanooga assembly plant, the only automotive manufacturing facility in the world to receive Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;">BOLOGNA</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> – Prior to EICMA 2015 and the unveiling of new entries in its MY 2016, Ducati reveals the new livery of the Diavel Carbon. The bike, available to the public starting from October 2015, is more aggressive and refined than ever thanks to brand new graphics and a series of new technical and aesthetic features.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Diavel is a unique, different, innovative and brave bike. Strengthened by a style that has literally won over the world’s motorcycle community, it has opened new horizons for the Ducati brand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Muscular and with a strong presence, the Diavel dominates the road while remaining as lightweight and agile as other Ducati models.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The latest generation Testastretta 11° Dual Spark engine with ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Riding Modes and typical Ducati agility guarantee an exciting but safe riding experience. Its 162 hp and weight of just 205 kg (452 lb), together with its exclusive design, make the Diavel a comfortable and sporty lifestyle motorcycle.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The new Asphalt Grey colour that characterises this new 2016 version elegantly balances with the visible carbon, the red stripes and the Dark Chrome paintwork on the frame. The exclusive forged wheels with exposed machined finish, enhance the muscular design of the bike. Other new features on the 2016 version of the Diavel Carbon include the exhaust manifolds with Zircotec ceramic coating. This type of coating renders the exhaust system more sophisticated and technological; the system is also equipped with brushed-effect stainless steel silencer covers. In addition, the bike boasts a totally redesigned seat with new and exclusive trim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<i>2015 F1 - Singapore Grand Prix Champion - <span style="text-align: justify;">Sebastian Vettel #5 Ferrari</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sebastian Vettel has completed a commanding third win of the season in the Singapore Grand Prix after keeping his cool on a challenging evening around the Marina Bay Circuit, while Lewis Hamilton has seen his championship lead shrink following a first retirement of the year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9AK5J09wfBE/Vf7WmWWwZoI/AAAAAAABvBM/TJB3Sneqyh0/s1600/150029_sin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9AK5J09wfBE/Vf7WmWWwZoI/AAAAAAABvBM/TJB3Sneqyh0/s640/150029_sin.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>2015 F1 - Singapore Grand Prix Champion - <span style="text-align: justify;">Sebastian Vettel #5 Ferrari</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></i></div>
On a weekend that has seen both Vettel and Ferrari produce their most convincing performance of the Hybrid era, the former champion produced a masterclass in precision driving to lead from start-to-finish despite circumstances occasionally threatening to conspire against him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, despite the appearance of the safety car on two occasions – including one to slow the field after a person managed to get on the course and briefly walk down the track -, Vettel had the measure of the competition to keep Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen at bay to the chequered flag. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A two-time race winner already this year, Vettel nonetheless came into the race with the unusual status as the hot favourite having dominated qualifying a day earlier, while main rivals Mercedes suffered with tyre troubles around the Marina Bay venue to start fifth and sixth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Making no mistake from the lights, Vettel surged into the lead from the opening bend as Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Daniil Kvyat, Hamilton and Nico Rosberg retained their top six positions behind him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aware that Ricciardo had displayed promising long run pace in practice, Vettel set about stamping his authority on proceedings with a startling pace straight away, putting a remarkable three seconds between himself and his rival on the opening lap alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though the gap stabilised at around five seconds in the coming laps, Vettel appeared to be controlling the pace when the first of the night's two safety car periods began on lap 11, prompted by a collision between Felipe Massa and Nico Hulkenberg. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pair came together after Hulkenberg swept across Massa at turn two as the Brazilian was exiting the pit lane. Sending Hulkenberg into the opposing barrier and Massa into an eventual retirement too, the incident brought out the Virtual Safety Car initially before the full safety car was used to clear debris. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With most of the leaders taking the opportunity to pit, Vettel remained out front, pursued still by Ricciardo and Raikkonen, while Hamilton found himself up to fourth at the expense of Kvyat, whose slightly earlier pit-stop forced him to slow under the VSC, dropping him to sixth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, Hamilton's unusually challenging weekend would be dealt its final blow on lap 23 when he reported 'a loss of power', seemingly traced to a issue with the throttle. Immediately dropping down the order, Hamilton persevered for 10 laps before asking the team to retire him on lap 32, forcing the championship leader into his first DNF since the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, the top three appeared evenly matched, with Ricciardo pressuring Vettel as Raikkonen maintained a watching brief in third. However, Vettel's modest pace would ultimately prove a ruse, the German unleashing his true form on lap 26 to produce a stunning lap time of 1min 50.520secs and put two seconds between himself and the Red Bull in just a single lap before multiplying his advantage thereafter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, circumstances would conspire to work against Vettel again in the most bizarre of manners when it emerged a person had gotten onto the track in sector 10 and was walking along the barrier. With officials scrambling the safety car immediately to neutralise the race on lap 36 of 61, the man got around 50 metres down the barrier before simply climbing back over again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prompting a dash for the pit lane once again, despite having his lead quashed yet again, Vettel remained in front after the stop and on the restart simply set about reasserting his advantage over Ricciardo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It would prove to be the final push to take Vettel all the way to the chequered flag, easing off in the closing stages to cross the line 1.4secs ahead of Ricciardo, the Australian nonetheless claiming his best finish of the season for the resurgent Red Bull team. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unable to make an impression on Ricciardo, Raikkonen faded in the final laps to slip 15secs behind the Red Bull, but third position still marks only his second podium finish of the season. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite his retirement, Hamilton will take heart from the fact main rival Rosberg couldn't capitalise fully on a remarkably lacklustre weekend for the Mercedes team, his fourth place only able to reduce the margin between the two from 53 to a still substantial 41 points. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indeed, Vettel's win serves the purpose of putting him in range of Rosberg in the fight for second place, the pair now split by just eight points with six races remaining. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Behind Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas enjoyed an error-free afternoon to give Williams something to smile about in fifth position, the Finn benefitting from a frustrating race for Kvyat who lost time after pitting just before both safety car periods, demoting him to sixth at the finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With Hulkenberg failing to finish – and being punished with a three position grid penalty for Japan for his clash with Massa -, Sergio Perez flew the flag for Force India for his third strong points' finish in a row in seventh place, the Mexican resisting the attentions of a feisty Max Verstappen in the closing stages. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indeed, it was an eventful evening for the youngster after slipping a lap down at the start when he stalled on the grid. However, after being allowed to un-lap himself during the first safety car period, he mounted a stunning charge up the order, his alternative strategy working to his advantage as the super-soft tyres allowed him to make up ground in the final laps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even so, Verstappen may have questions for his team after he was asked to move over for close-following Toro Rosso team-mate Carlos Sainz in the final laps, eliciting a horrified response from the youngster, who proceeded to defy the order to stay in eighth, ahead of the Spaniard. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the big winners from the early safety car period, Felipe Nasr briefly found himself as high as seventh, only to slip back outside in the closing stages. However, the Brazilian forged back up the order late on to pass an ailing Romain Grosjean and snatch a single point for Sauber in tenth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, McLaren showed solid pace and a good strategy to get both Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button to run inside the top ten at times – despite Button complaining of tyre problems -, but mechanical problems would surface yet again to force a DNF for Alonso, while Button slipped out of contention when he tagged the back of Pastor Maldonado's Lotus in the closing stages and damaged his wing, before then retiring regardless.</div>

Mercedes-Benz's classic off-roader is beginning a new chapter in a success story that spans more than 35 years. With its continuously improved technology and high-class equipment specification, this all-terrain icon has consistently satisfied the highest expectations of off-road fans. True to this tradition, a new 4.0-litre directly injected V8 biturbo engine is now celebrating its world premiere in the G‑Class.</div>

<b>8-cylinder biturbo developed by Mercedes-AMG</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The new 8-cylinder powerplant in the G 500 can point to an exclusive heritage. It is based on the new generation of V8 engines developed by Mercedes-AMG that have already coaxed exceptional levels of performance out of the Mercedes-AMG GT and Mercedes-AMG C 63. For use in the G-Class, the V8 has been modified to deliver 310 kW (422 hp) with torque of 610 Nm. Other standout attributes include a spontaneous response and high tractive power made possible, for example, by two turbochargers, which instead of being configured on the outside of the cylinder banks, are arranged between them in the V – the so-called "hot inside V". This layout allows a compact design, optimal response and low exhaust emissions. High efficiency is ensured by Mercedes‑Benz's use of piezo direct petrol injection with spray-guided combustion. Maximum strength with lowest possible weight is guaranteed by the aluminium crankcase of the V8 engine. The cylinder bore surfaces feature Daimler's NANOSLIDE® technology, which makes them twice as hard as conventional cast-iron liners. This minimises both internal friction and fuel demand.</div>

Compared with the previous 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 unit, the new 8-cylinder biturbo engine puts out 25 kW (35 hp) more power and 80 newton metres more torque. Turbocharging results in maximum power and torque being delivered at lower engine speeds, this being to the benefit of not just tractive power and performance, but also fuel economy. The new G 500 accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds (previously: 6.1 seconds) and has a combined NEDC consumption of 12.3 litres per 100 kilometres (previously: 14.9 l/100 km).</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">The G 350 d, G 500 and AMG G 63 are equipped as standard with an ECO start/stop function that reduces fuel consumption and emissions by switching off the engine when the vehicle is at rest, e.g. in a traffic jam or at traffic lights.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As is typical of the G-Class, the new models retain the familiar sturdy basis of body and ladder-type frame, which still offers generous reserves to cope with the increased power. Also retained is the unrivalled off-road performance with permanent all-wheel drive, low-range gearbox and three differential locks that can be engaged/disengaged while on the move.</div>

<b>Optimised ESP®, optionally available adaptive damping system for G 500</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The standard suspension setup has been revised with optimised shock absorbers for improved control of body movements and even greater on-road ride comfort. An adapted ESP® setup makes enhanced driving dynamics possible and, as a result, increased driving stability and road safety. Optimisations to ASR and ABS result in improved traction while shortening the stopping distance when braking. The front-axle load capacity has been raised by 100 kg to 1550 kg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In addition, the G 500 is optionally available with a new adaptive damping system with Sport and Comfort modes. This provides a significantly more agile on-road performance in Sport mode with undiminished off-road capability while at the same time reducing the typical SUV roll in corners. As already familiar from the AMG variants, the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission in the G 350 d and G 500 models now also features a manual transmission mode. This mode, which can be conveniently activated by pressing the "M" button, allows the driver to savour the high available torque and to use the steering-wheel shift paddles to decide just when to change gear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Enhanced inside and out</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Visually, the new G 350 d and G 500 models are especially easy to identify by their restyled bumpers and now standard flared wheel arches in the vehicle colour. The G 350 d now also comes as standard with 45.7 cm (18-inch) five-spoke light-alloy wheels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On the inside, the G 350 d and G 500 feature an eye-catching instrument cluster in two-tube look with 11.4 cm multifunction display and redesigned pointers and dials. The two AMG models, too, sport a redesigned instrument cluster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<b>New choice of colours</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A new Colour package is available for customers wishing to give their AMG G-Class an even more personal look. There are exclusive exterior paint finishes in solar beam, tomato red, alien green, sunset beam and galactic beam. Detachable parts such as mirrors, front and rear bumpers, wheel arch extensions, the ring around the spare wheel cover as well as the roof are painted in obsidian black. The interior topstitching is colour-matched to the paintwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<b>New AMG EDITION 463 special model: visible dynamics</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With the new EDITION 463 special model, Mercedes-AMG is giving the G 63 and G 65 an impressive sporty look. The exquisite interior specification includes a two-tone instrument panel, two-tone seats in high-quality designo leather with side bolsters in carbon-look leather and contrasting topstitching, seat and door centre panels in a diamond look, carbon-fibre trim and door pulls in nappa leather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On the outside, a stainless steel underguard, AMG sport stripes along the sides and a protective-strip insert in black aluminium look underscore both the dynamics and exclusivity of the special model. The G 63 is fitted with exclusive 53.3 cm (21-inch) 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels in matt black with high-sheen spokes and 295/40 R 21 wide-base tyres. The G 65 has an exquisite look with identically sized, ceramically polished 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels.</div>

<b>The Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x42 goes into series production</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Having proved hugely popular with many customers, the G 500 4x42 show car is set to enter series production. In the superlative-studded history of the G-Class, the G 500 4x42 is the new highlight in the model range. The technical package consists of the all-wheel-drive powertrain including portal axles and the new 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine with an output of 310 kW (422 hp).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Also new is the chassis with dual spring/damper struts and adjustable damping. In the interior of the G 500 4x42, occupants enjoy comfort and an ambience on a par with a luxury saloon. In view of the key data for the chassis and powertrain, it seems more than logical that the off-road world starts for the G 500 4x42 where other vehicles give up. The new "G" also puts in an absolutely convincing performance on the asphalt. Owing to the considerably wider track of the portal axles compared with the series-production car (+264 mm), the large 22-inch 325/55 R 22-sized wheels and the adjustable damping with its Sport mode, the enhanced G-Class drives through bends so dynamically that the occupants feel as though they are in a sports car rather than a cross-country vehicle. This also applies to outings on unsurfaced slopes or snow-bound roads, in which case the performance of a high-powered rally car kicks in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The G 500 4x42 will be in Mercedes-Benz dealer showrooms from December 2015, with all other new G-Class models being available from September 2015.</div>

<i>Mazda KOERU Concept at 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mazda Motor Corporation is unveiling the all-new crossover concept Mazda KOERU for the world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bkGsbYFg9qA/Vfq3yaB1TNI/AAAAAAABu0A/rtkT0_1lsRI/s1600/MAZDA-KOERU_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bkGsbYFg9qA/Vfq3yaB1TNI/AAAAAAABu0A/rtkT0_1lsRI/s640/MAZDA-KOERU_01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Mazda KOERU demonstrates Mazda’s unique and daring interpretation of a crossover vehicle, proposed for the fast-growing crossover market. Featuring the full suite of Mazda’s new- generation SKYACTIV technologies and designed under the KODO—Soul of Motion design language, the concept offers sporty yet delightfully refined styling and driving performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The name “KOERU”, which literally means “exceed” or “go beyond” in Japanese, comes from Mazda’s aspiration to deliver value that goes well beyond the existing category norms and standards. As the latest incarnation of Mazda’s new-generation products, the Mazda KOERU crossover concept offers styling that exudes power, vitality and a new level of polished refinement. Targeted at customers with a cutting-edge mind-set, the Mazda KOERU is a bold challenge to the existing crossover market and embodies Mazda’s on-going quest to deliver pure driving pleasure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Evolution of KODO design through the expression of “vitality” and “dignity”</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One look at the Mazda KOERU reveals the qualities of KODO design – the power and vitality of a wild animal. Focusing on the expression of refined dignity, Mazda has imparted the KOERU with awe-inspiring proportions and an intriguing form that hints of a Japanese aesthetic. The outcome is an evolution of the KODO design theme adapted to the crossover vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given a stronger presence than ever before, the Signature Wing is expressive of unwavering determination, whilst the LED guiding rings evoke the bright, strong-willed eyes of an untamed animal. A tight canopy and a modulating body generate a sense of speed and volume, creating a unique presence that sets the Mazda KOERU apart from existing crossover offerings. Highlights on the front and rear fenders extend towards the large wheels, suggesting powerful legs pounding the earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Jinba-ittai driving performance and refined ride comfort</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Throughout its history, Mazda has continually pursued responsive, exhilarating driving. Fully adopting the latest SKYACTIV technologies, the Mazda KOERU responds linearly to the driver’s operations, providing a true Jinba-ittai driving experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Impressive aerodynamic performance is achieved by a sleek body shape and optimisation of the airflow over the upper body, as well as creating a turbulence-rectifying under-floor structure. These elements also enhance vehicle stability when driving at speed. The Mazda KOERU is significantly quieter and more relaxing due to Mazda’s breakthrough NVH technology that thoroughly quells noise and vibration path. Those technologies deliver high-quality, amazingly refined driving not offered by the existing crossover vehicles on the market today.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">*1 i-ACTIVSENSE is an umbrella term covering a series of advanced safety technologies, that have been developed in line with Mazda’s safety philosophy, Mazda Proactive Safety which represents Mazda’s thinking about safety, and focuses on understanding, respecting and trusting the human driver. Mazda aims to support the essential functions for safe driving, such as recognising potential hazards, exercising good judgment and operating the vehicle in an appropriate fashion. These technologies are designed to help to prevent or reduce the damage resulting from an accident despite changing driving conditions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*2 Mazda Connect is Mazda’s new-generation car-connectivity system, developed in line with Mazda’s unique human machine interface (HMI) concept called the Heads-Up Cockpit concept. The new-generation car connectivity system was designed to support safe driving and driver concentration while the driver handles increasing amounts of information and maintains an appropriate driving posture. Mazda Connect is the name used in Japan, the US and Mexico. The system is referred to as MZD Connect in other markets.</span><br />

<b style="text-align: justify;">DEARBORN</b><span style="text-align: justify;">, Mich. – Ford Motor Company’s all-new Focus RS will sprint from 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds – making the high-performance hatchback the fastest-accelerating RS model yet.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
Focus RS – powered by a specially engineered version of Ford’s new 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine producing projected 350 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque – will reach a top speed of 165 mph.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The all-new 2016 Focus RS optimizes acceleration by introducing launch control technology to a Ford RS model for the first time. Focus RS also debuts new Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring – for outstanding traction and grip with dynamic agility and cornering speed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The all-new Focus RS will bring the legendary nameplate to a new generation of global customers for the first time,” said Dave Pericak, director, Ford Performance. “Focus RS delivers stunning performance and innovative technology at a price that will make both enthusiast consumers and premium automakers look twice.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Focus RS launch control configures the car’s chassis and powertrain systems to deliver the fastest possible acceleration – in various track conditions. The driver selects launch control from the cluster menu, engages first gear, applies full throttle and releases the clutch. The system then delivers optimum drive – including distributing torque through the all-wheel-drive system, maintaining maximum torque using the turbo overboost function, managing traction control and setting the dampers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To achieve maximum acceleration through the gears, a performance shift light in the instrument cluster alerts the driver when approaching the optimum upshift point of 5,900 rpm, and flashes if the engine hits the 6,800-rpm limit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive uses twin electronically controlled clutch packs to manage the car’s front/rear torque split, and can control side-to-side torque distribution on the rear axle – delivering the torque vectoring capability that produces a dramatic impact on handling and cornering stability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The all-wheel-drive system monitors inputs from multiple vehicle sensors 100 times per second. To deliver optimum driving dynamics, the system was calibrated alongside the car’s advanced electronic stability control, in particular, its brake-based Torque Vectoring Control that works in parallel with torque vectoring all-wheel drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Focus RS drivers can select from four different drive modes that configure the all-wheel-drive system, damper controls, electronic stability control, steering and engine responses, and exhaust sound to deliver optimum performance in road or circuit driving conditions. Normal, sport or track settings are available, along with a special drift mode to help the driver achieve controlled oversteer drifts at the track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new 2.3-liter EcoBoost shares its fundamental structure with the all-aluminum four-cylinder EcoBoost in the all-new Ford Mustang. The engine is significantly upgraded to improve power by more than 10 percent. It features a new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger with larger compressor, enhanced air intake design, and a large-bore high-performance exhaust.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Developed by a team of Ford Performance engineers in Europe and the United States, the all-new Focus RS is the third-generation Focus RS – following models launched in 2002 and 2009.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ford Performance serves as an innovation laboratory and test bed to create unique performance vehicles, parts, accessories and experiences for customers. The group’s work in aerodynamics, light-weighting, electronics, powertrain performance and fuel efficiency can be applied more broadly across Ford’s product portfolio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 30th car to wear the legendary RS badge, Focus RS will be built in Saarlouis, Germany, and is one of 12 new performance vehicles Ford will bring to customers globally through 2020 as part of a new era of Ford performance. Ford expects delivery to North American customers in spring 2016.</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mlWqCAcJNEA/VfqZBs2nMPI/AAAAAAABuzA/3dnwBqUAFso/s1600/16_Civic_Sedan_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mlWqCAcJNEA/VfqZBs2nMPI/AAAAAAABuzA/3dnwBqUAFso/s640/16_Civic_Sedan_002.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Civic Sedan is the first in a series of new 10th-generation Civic models that will include a sedan, coupe, high-performance Si models, a 5-door hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the U.S. market, comprising the most diverse and innovative lineup in Civic's 43-year history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This tenth-generation Civic is quite simply the most ambitious remake of Civic we've ever done," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co, Inc. "We are bringing more new technology and innovative thinking to Civic than ever before to establish a new benchmark for fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency, safety performance and refinement in the compact class."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Backing up the new Civic's dramatic and sporty design with new power and efficiency, for the first time the 2016 Civic will feature two all-new engines – including the first-ever application of Honda turbo engine technology in the U.S. These powerful and fuel-efficient new engines combine with a sophisticated new body and chassis design to deliver incredibly responsive and sporty performance with a higher level of ride refinement and class-leading fuel efficiency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Civic Sedan will be available with the Honda Sensing™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, including Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation and, for the first time in a Honda, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow – bringing new value to the compact segment.</div>

You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music right from the touchscreen or by voice via Siri. Supported apps include Phone, Messages, Maps, Music and compatible third party apps. Apple CarPlay® is compatible with iOS 8.4 or later and iPhone 5 or later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Android Auto™ was designed to give drivers a simple, intuitive way through touch and voice to minimize the potential for distraction so the driver can stay focused on the road. Compatible with Android 5.0 and higher, Android Auto features Google Maps, Google Now, messaging, music and numerous popular apps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sporty Civic Design</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dramatic and sporty new Civic design is grounded in its more athletic stance and low and wide proportions. Compared to the current model, the 2016 Civic Sedan is nearly 2 inches wider and 1 inch lower with a 1.2-inch longer wheelbase, featuring a more compact and sporty front overhang, a longer, more aggressively sculpted hood and fastback-style tail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The taut and tidy proportions of the new Civic Sedan are complemented and accentuated by refined design details, including sleek and swept-back bodylines, a sharp and aggressive face and bulging wheel arches. The new Civic's more premium compact sedan character is also highlighted by its available LED exterior lighting, including new Honda LED headlights (in-line type), LED daytime running lights (standard) and distinctive C-shaped LED taillights (also standard).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The new Civic really is the embodiment of our global design team's goal of styling a dramatic form that follows and speaks to the dynamic function of this ambitious redesign," said Jarad Hall, Senior Exterior Designer and project leader of the Civic Sedan, Honda R&D Americas. "The low and wide proportions, with the wheels pushed to the outmost corners, emphasize the Civic's dynamic handling prowess and give the car a crouched and muscular look, like a tiger ready to pounce." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Two All-new Engines</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Civic Sedan will feature two all-new, more powerful and fuel-efficient engines. Civic Sedan LX and EX trims will be powered by a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC™ 4-cylinder – the most powerful base engine ever offered on Civic – mated to either a 6-speed manual (LX trim) or continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Civic Sedans in EX-T, EX-L trims and Touring trims will be powered by a 1.5-liter, direct-injected and turbocharged 16-valve DOHC inline-4, mated to a unique CVT, delivering a new level of responsiveness in this capacity class of turbocharged engine. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new 1.5-liter powerplant is the first turbocharged engine on a U.S. Honda model and the most powerful engine ever offered on a non-Si Civic in America. Both engines will offer top-in-class performance and fuel efficiency, and are targeted to receive EPA highway fuel economy ratings in excess of 40 mpg. Additional powertrain details and specifications will be announced closer to launch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F3mrTx0Kaw/VfqZBWTaRaI/AAAAAAABuy8/muaCx-oZ544/s1600/2016_Civic_Sedan_003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1F3mrTx0Kaw/VfqZBWTaRaI/AAAAAAABuy8/muaCx-oZ544/s640/2016_Civic_Sedan_003.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Advanced and Sporty New Body and Chassis</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Civic will set a new standard for dynamic handling, steering, ride quality and cabin quietness in the compact class, courtesy of its all new platform, featuring the most rigid and tightly sealed body and the most sophisticated chassis in Civic history. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Advancing the sporty character of this all-new Civic is its more sporty driving position, with a one-inch lower hip point compared to the current car. The lower hip point is enabled by the new Civic's lower floor and engine and its all-new suspension design. The new Civic chassis features a redesigned strut front suspension and a new multi-link rear suspension mounted to an ultra-rigid rear subframe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Torsional rigidity of the new body is improved by 25 percent, aided in part by more intensive use of ultra-high-strength steel. Twelve percent of the unit body is made of ultra-high-strength steel, up from 1percent on the current model. Aerodynamic efficiency is improved by 12 percent to class-leading levels, in part through the use of full underbody covers—a Civic first. Despite its larger size, the new Civic unit body is 68 pounds lighter than before, while new body-sealing techniques result in a 58-percent reduction in cabin air leaks. Class-leading cabin quietness is further improved by the use of premium noise-reducing features, including a flush-mounted acoustic glass windshield, a more tightly sealed engine compartment and triple-sealed doors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To achieve the Civic development team's high targets for dynamic performance and refined ride quality, the new Civic Sedan utilizes hydraulic compliance bushings, a technology typically reserved for more expensive vehicles, aiding the isolation of road vibration. Additional new chassis technologies include variable gear ratio steering, beefier front and rear stabilizer bars and standard 4-wheel disc brakes, along with the application of new Agile Handling Assist brake-torque vectoring technology for more precise and agile cornering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Spacious, Sophisticated and Advanced Cabin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new Civic interior is designed to offer the most comfortable, sophisticated and premium-feeling cabin in the compact class. An additional 3.7 cubic feet of interior space translates into the largest cabin in the compact segment with 2 inches of added rear-seat legroom versus the outgoing model. In front, new ultra-thin front roof pillars enable class-leading forward visibility; and at the rear, trunk space has been increased by 2.6 cubic feet with a lower liftover height, larger opening and wider and taller cargo area. Civic Sedan EX and above trims will feature a 60/40 split and folding rear seat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2016 Civic Sedan offers customers more premium features than ever before. New standard equipment includes automatic climate control – dual-zone on EX-L and higher trims; auto-up/down front power windows; an electronic parking brake with Brake Hold; Walk-Away auto door locks and an adjustable driver's seat thigh support with 14 degrees of tilt (EX-L and above). All Civic Sedan models also feature a larger, reconfigurable new center console with up to 7.2 liters of secure storage space, approaching SUV levels of console utility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new Civic interior strikes a more premium tone with high-quality materials and high-contrast finishes. These include a new one-piece, soft-touch instrumental panel with molded stitching; more premium seat fabrics; a new full-color TFT center meter (EX and above trims); a center console with piano black finish and high-contrast sliver bezel; door inserts with live stitching; an LED shift indicator and LED overhead lighting; and for EX and higher trims, a leather shift boot. Upper grades offer even more premium features, including an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, 4-way power front passenger's seat, heated front and rear seats and heated side mirrors. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Civic Manufacturing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Civic Sedans for the North American market will be produced at the company's Greensburg, Indiana and Alliston, Ontario, Canada auto plants. The new Civic's 2.0-liter and 1.5-liter turbo engines will be manufactured in Anna, Ohio, and the vehicle's two automatic transmissions (CVTs) will be sourced from Honda plants in Russells Point, Ohio, and Celaya, Mexico. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new Civic utilizes numerous new manufacturing processes and technologies to advance quality, efficiency and fun-to-drive performance – the result of new investment in Honda automobile and engine plants in North America. This includes the addition of the company's innovative new inner-frame weld body construction process in both Indiana and Canada, a system first utilized for production of the 2015 Honda Fit. This new general weld system creates a more lightweight, rigid and strong body structure that helps enable the Civic's class-leading fuel efficiency, outstanding safety performance and fun-to-drive experience. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Toyota C-HR concept</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FRANKFURT</b> ― A new C-HR Concept makes its world debut at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show. With its diamond-shape based bold design language, an engaging full-hybrid driving experience and new platform architecture, it brings the future Toyota compact crossover one step closer to the final production model, which will be revealed at Geneva next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-da73ZDOEvVo/VfqOnQd-moI/AAAAAAABuxI/1DIkWOWVB9c/s1600/20150915_01_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-da73ZDOEvVo/VfqOnQd-moI/AAAAAAABuxI/1DIkWOWVB9c/s640/20150915_01_04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inspired by the warm welcome that the first TOYOTA C-HR Concept vehicle received when it premiered at the 2014 Paris motor show, designers have created a second C-HR Concept. Boasting a 5-door cabin, this new design study is more closely representative of the compact crossover which is now confirmed for production. Its more refined execution is designed to gage reactions from specific target customer groups, in order that their feedback may further inform the project designers and engineers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This highly-innovative design study for a stylish, lightweight and dynamic hybrid crossover is designed to stand out in an increasingly homogenous market place. It is the next rendition of Akio Toyoda’s promise, on taking over the presidency of Toyota, to build always better cars that bring the fun back to driving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its compact proportions placing it between the B-SUV and C-SUV segments, the TOYOTA C-HR Concept offers the combination of outstanding agility and flexible packaging, both essential to those with urban lifestyles. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been designed around a new platform, developed under the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) program, to satisfy customers’ demands for state of the art handling and controllability. In conjunction, a new, advanced, full-hybrid powertrain offers a uniquely engaging driving experience matched to 21st century traffic conditions, whilst delivering outstanding efficiency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Refined Diamond Styling Theme</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new, 5-door C-HR Concept continues Toyota’s exploration of an expressive new, diamond architecture styling theme. Below a compact, sensual cabin profile, the lower bodywork has been sculpted to represent the facetted surfaces of a highly-durable, precision-cut gemstone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In plan form, the corners of the bodyshell have been cleanly shaved off. This both removes mass from the overall volume, and highlights the powerful flair of the front and rear wheel arches, reinforcing the crossover’s broad, planted stance from every viewpoint, and matching the target customer’s desire for a vehicle with a confident and sporty look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The front of the C-HR Concept represents a further development of Toyota’s Keen Look design identity. Above a robust central bumper profile, the slim upper grille has been evolved into a floating ‘wing’ graphic which flows seamlessly around the front corners of the vehicle. At the wing extremities, streamlined headlamp clusters combine advanced lighting technology with diamond-pattern detailing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adding impact to the vehicle corners to further reinforce the new crossover’s solid stance and the low centre of gravity inhe-rent in its new TNGA platform, the large, diamond-patterned lower grille is flanked by strongly sculpted downward projections. These powerful frontal elements are underscored by an aero-inspired, floating front spoiler.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the side, the highly-facetted lower body, muscular wheel arches and aggressively angular rear shoulder are juxtaposed with an exceptionally sleek cabin profile. Its ‘floating’ status reinforced by a piano black paint finish, the roof is detailed with patterned openings which create a uniquely animated play of light within the C-HR Concept’s cabin space.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seen from the rear, the glasshouse tapers dramatically down to a powerfully facetted lower body highlighted by a pronounced diffuser, integrated foglamps and highly-distinctive, aero-inspired, floating rear lamp clusters incorporating diamond-pattern lens detailing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ‘diamond-cut’, machined-surface spokes of a unique, 21” wheel design hint at the sophistication and efficiency of the C-HR Concept’s full-hybrid powertrain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) Platform</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new C-HR Concept is a striking representation of the benefits of TNGA; an innovative, integrated vehicle development approach for powertrain components and platforms being introduced on new Toyota models from this year forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TNGA manifests itself in the new C-HR Concept through an increase in body rigidity, better collision performance, improvements to the vehicle underbody and suspension, and a lowering of the centre of gravity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Acting in conjunction, higher body rigidity and a lower centre of gravity reduce body movement and vehicle roll when cornering. This allows for a reduction in suspension stiffness and a resultant increase in ride comfort with no detriment to driving dynamics, equipping the C-HR Concept with the responsive handling, agility and straight-line stability on a par with the best C-segment hatchbacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Incorporating a set of new production techniques and technologies that will make it easier to turn vehicle designs and features into production reality, TNGA groups vehicle development to promote a strategic sharing of parts and powertrain components. This approach will reduce the resources required for development by 20% or more, freeing up investment for improved product strengths and advanced technology development for sustainable growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A New, More Efficient Hybrid System</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
C-HR Concept doesn’t only stand out through its unique design. It also introduces hybrid technology to the segment. In this case, a new and more compact full-hybrid powertrain with lighter componentry. It reflects significant advances in battery, electric motor and petrol engine technologies, offering further reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Operating in synergy with a petrol engine boasting world-beating thermal efficiency of over 40%, the C-HR Concept’s next-generation full-hybrid powertrain combines state-of-the-art battery technology with new, highly-compact electric motors offering a marked increase in power density.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More compact, lighter in weight and more efficient than Toyota’s current hybrid systems, the new full-hybrid powertrain developed under the TNGA programme will also be notably more refined, and even easier and more intuitive to drive, with a natural, smooth and immediate response to driver inputs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Global Project Rooted in the European Market</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new C-HR Concept is another tangible application of Toyota’s new Global Vision thinking, first advocated by President Akio Toyoda in 2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recognizing that Europe is the most demanding market for small and mid-sized vehicles, Toyota uses this region as benchmark for defining future global A-, B- and C-segment cars. Toyota Motor Europe (TME) has also become the company’s skill centre for perceived quality and vehicle dynamics.</div>

In the case of the C-HR Concept, there was close cooperation between Toyota’s vehicle planning centres in Japan and in Europe, in order to get a good understanding of the latest European customer demands and vehicle trends. The styling of the concept car is the result of a global cooperation between ED2 (European Design Development Centre) and the other Toyota design centres.</div>

Following the sale of all 450 vehicles in the Veyron series, Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo marks a new chapter in the luxury brand's history that will culminate in the unveiling of the new Bugatti super sports car. The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo design pays homage to Bugatti's great racing tradition of the 1920s and 1930s, in particular its victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, and is based on cutting-edge motor sport technology. At the same time the virtual project also previews Bugatti's future design language.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is the first stage on a new journey that Bugatti is embarking on following the successful completion of its Veyron chapter, and which will culminate in the unveiling of the next Bugatti super sports car in the not too distant future," says Wolfgang Dürheimer, President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. "This project showcases Bugatti's new design language, which we have developed to celebrate this new chapter in our company history."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Bugatti will remain clearly positioned in the future as a brand with a strong profile," continues Dürheimer. "We're building the world's fastest, most exclusive, most luxurious and most powerful production super sports car."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The collaboration with Polyphony Digital, creator of Gran Turismo, allows Bugatti to make the highly exclusive brand available to fans, gamers and high-performance aficionados of all ages. The PlayStation video game franchise has sold over 70 million units since its launch in 1997. "Our Veyron series was limited to 450 vehicles, all of which are now owned by proud automotive connoisseurs," says the Bugatti President. "However, our fans, who love the brand and have remained loyal to us for years throughout the world, are unlimited in number. This project is our way of thanking them for their loyalty and enthusiasm."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Having met the team at Bugatti, I can honestly say that the way they challenge limits, the way they try to push beyond boundaries, feels so similar to the way Gran Turismo attempts to go the extra mile in everything it does”, says Kazunori Yamauchi, Senior Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment and President of Polyphony Digital, who has created the world’s most successful video racing franchise. “For us, the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo greatly enriches the Gran Turismo offering. It is an exciting and cool car and I am proud to have it on board“.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Bugatti's design DNA has reached a new stage in its evolution," says Achim Anscheidt, head of the Bugatti design team. "Given the nature of the project, our concept car for Vision Gran Turismo is overstated and pushes performance to the limits, but its progressive design language will clearly show the direction that Bugatti's design will take in the coming years."</div>

<b>Design of virtual race car pays homage to Bugatti's racing tradition</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Bugatti designers drew their inspiration from the brand's illustrious racing tradition. Bugatti enjoyed great success in racing in the 1920s and 1930s. Company founder Ettore Bugatti was the first car maker to build street-legal versions of his compact and lightweight race cars, which he sold successfully to amateur racing drivers following victorious weekends on the track. The Type 35, probably the most successful race car of all time with over 2,000 victories and podium</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
finishes in its day, is the most prominent example of that phenomenon and continues to embody Bugatti's racing legacy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Historical inspiration for the modern virtual race car for Vision Gran Turismo came, in particular, from the Bugatti Type 57 Tank and its victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans races in 1937 and 1939. The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo will race in the classic blue two-tone finish of the Type 57 G Tank, which was the winning car in 1937, while also evoking the colour of the historic French race cars of that time. Blue has been the Bugatti brand colour ever since.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Le Mans influenced the design of the virtual race car for Vision Gran Turismo in two ways," continues Anscheidt. "First, through Bugatti's tremendous victories on the circuit there. Second, this track with its long straights remains an emblem of top speed today, making it the ideal place for Bugatti to show what it can do as a double world record holder." Bugatti has held the record for the world's fastest street-legal production vehicle since 2010 with a speed of 431.072 kph (267.86 mph) and made its way into the record books again in 2013 with the world's fastest production roadster, clocking 408.84 kph (254.04 mph).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Bugatti designers and engineers developed the virtual race car in close collaboration</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo will race in a class in which the racers typically bear no or little relation to actual cars and whose design is therefore far more extreme and performance-geared than that of street-legal cars, two points were important to the design team: first, the virtual car should have the distinctive Bugatti look and embody Bugatti's values of "Art, Forme, Technique", and, second, every vehicle component should have a real performance function. The virtual race car was therefore developed in close collaboration with the Bugatti engineers and is based on cutting-edge racing technology and aerodynamic analyses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Florian Umbach, head of chassis development at Bugatti, had a lot of fun with the project. "For Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, we've geared every parameter to maximum performance, unlike with our production car, where it goes without saying that comfort and easy handling are also key factors." The systems that are responsible for luxury and comfort in the street-legal Bugatti super sports car have been dispensed with for the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo. That makes the vehicle more lightweight and creates space for the new, high-performance aerodynamics and a new radiator layout that we specifically designed for the virtual race track. Nevertheless, the car's technical features, like its design, are realistic, since the virtual project is based on the Bugatti development team's latest simulation models of driving dynamics and aerodynamics. The engineers and the designers worked together meticulously on the project for six months. Also, racing experts from the Volkswagen Group were involved to ensure that every detail of the virtual race car is authentic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"For Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo, my colleagues and I for once were free from the statutory requirements that as vehicle developers we naturally need to comply with in everyday life," continues Umbach. "It was an exciting project without any limits or compromises. We were only bound by the safety regulations of the FIA."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The engineers have calculated that the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo can drive at over 400 kph (250 mph) on four sections of the virtual Le Mans track. "With our extreme speed on the long straights, we could make up for any disadvantages on the bends, and would then be as quick in the virtual world as the fastest real-life LMP1 race car, which, unlike us in the video game, naturally needs to comply with all FIA and ACO regulations," explains Umbach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To attain that performance goal, the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo too is driven by a W16 engine, which delivers incredible power to all four wheels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"While the Bugatti Veyron is a super sports car that's a combination of the beauty and the beast, the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is the ultimate performance beast," says Anscheidt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"With its radical and extreme design, it's a thoroughbred Bugatti for the virtual race track." </div>

<b>Exterior design: a successful symbiosis of technology and aesthetics</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"We wanted to make the project as realistic as possible for our fans, and to introduce a real Bugatti to the virtual world of the PlayStation video game franchise," explains Frank Heyl, head of exterior design for production development at Bugatti. "Every design feature has a purpose. Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is a successful symbiosis of technology and aesthetics."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"To pay homage to the victories in Le Mans, we definitely wanted to design a modern vehicle to convey the atmosphere of those special moments in Bugatti's history, rather than create a retro-style race car," explains Sasha Selipanov, head of exterior design creative development.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"As an unabashed Gran Turismo fan, it's a great adventure for me to bring a brand that was once so successful in racing back to the virtual track. The expressive design of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is marked by large convex surfaces,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
which contrast with concave transitions and strong lines. That lends the exterior styling precision and surface tensions of the highest quality. The proportions of the vehicle are uncompromisingly athletic and designed for maximum performance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The cockpit lies as lowslung as possible between the four dominant wheel housings and is fully enclosed by the muscular wings. The extreme mid-engined proportions with the V-shaped front end and short rear overhang indicate powerful forward thrust even when stationary. The result is a dynamic, "ready-to-race" stance that gives the impression of immense power immediately at the ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The designers have unmistakeably integrated the key features of the Bugatti design DNA into the virtual race car's design. The side profile of the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo features the famous Bugatti line, which not only divides the exterior into the signature two-tone finish, but also plays an important aerodynamic role in cooling the vehicle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The virtual race car also features the most striking Bugatti symbol – the horseshoe on the front grille. It is positioned in the centre of the central front air intake as a three-dimensional sculpture, and acts as a support for the front splitter. The horseshoe is flanked by the eight-eye headlights, which were specially developed for Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo. They also have an aerodynamic function, since they act as air intakes to cool the brakes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another signature Bugatti design element is the centre fin, which derives from the legendary 1936 Type 57 Atlantic. The designers have used two versions of the fin for the Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo: one on the wings and rear side panels, where the fins enhance the design of the vehicle and the other running the length of the roof, where the fin makes an important contribution to the car's dynamic stability. The kinematic system for the rear wing, which controls the air brake and the drag reduction system (DRS), is located here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
An interesting detail on the roof is the NACA duct, which, with its contrasting light blue finish, is not only strikingly aesthetic, but is also the most aerodynamic way to bring air into the engine at roof level without creating turbulence in the inflow of the rear wing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The rear of the vehicle has a strong trailing edge which provides excellent driving stability, exhausts the hot air from the engine compartment and, no less importantly, unmistakeably shows the virtual competitor that a Bugatti is getting ahead and away from them.</div>

<b>Functional, exclusive interior design à la Bugatti</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Just as with the exterior, no comprises were made when it came to the design of the vehicle's interior. "It's the ultimate race car, and at the same time a true Bugatti," says Etienne Salome, head of interior design at Bugatti.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The architecture of the interior continues the clean lines of the exterior. The striking centre fin of the roof is echoed in the interior, where it divides the cockpit from the rest of the interior and 5 BUGATTI merges with the central console below. The interior picks up the two-tone finish of the outer shell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Every aspect of the interior is geared to racing. All indicators, displays and controls, which are positioned where a racing driver would expect them to be, are easy to read and can be reached in a split second.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are two displays for the driver, both of which are convex for improved readability in line with state-of-the-art design. The display on the steering wheel shows all the relevant vehicle information. The second display is located on the steering column and combines the images from the three cameras mounted on the exterior of the vehicle to provide the driver with a better overview for an even safer driving experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All displays in the cockpit are backlit so the driver can see the information easily. The materials used for the interior also reflect Bugatti's values. The designers followed the principles of authenticity and exceptional quality. The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo not only uses carbon fibre, which is typically used in racing to keep the cars lightweight, but blue visible carbon fibre. A high-gloss version is used for the exterior, whereas a matte finish is used in the interior to prevent unwanted reflections.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Bugatti designers went the extra mile with the leather upholstery as well. A particularly lightweight and durable suede that until now was used only for racing shoes in Formula One has been used for parts in the cockpit that need to have a particularly good grip or be resilient such as the steering wheel, the dash panel and the headrest. Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo is the first vehicle to be upholstered with that material.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Whether in the virtual or in the real world, a Bugatti needs to exude the values that the brand stands for," say the designers. The show car in Frankfurt is therefore the perfect realisation of the virtual concept. It was built by hand, using exclusive materials, with Bugatti's signature attention to detail and workmanship.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo show car will be on display at the Bugatti stand in hall 3.0 of the IAA grounds from 17 to 27 September 2015.</div>

<b style="text-align: justify;">FRANKFURT</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> – Crossover pioneer Nissan has revealed a new concept car that points to an innovative new future for the brand. Conceived by designers in Europe and Japan, the Nissan Gripz Concept blends the ability and practicality of a compact crossover with the excitement and performance of a sports car.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Infused with an exciting and adventurous feel – thanks to its radical design and advanced powertrain concept – the Nissan Gripz Concept is Nissan's next move as a game changer. It is a glimpse of how a future compact crossover from the pioneer of the segment might look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Nissan Gripz Concept is designed as a car with a dual personality – a vehicle that can handle the day-to-day commute and deliver a genuine adventure at the weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the same way a cyclist will use a bike to get to work and then head out on that same machine for an adrenaline fuelled ride when the working day is over, so too can the driver of the Nissan Gripz Concept tackle the city streets during the week before enjoying a drive over a mountain pass on a day off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Elq8cflg-IU/Vfg_miaGHJI/AAAAAAABuhY/kp2ZJE3f5cg/s1600/Nissan_Gripz_Concept_08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Elq8cflg-IU/Vfg_miaGHJI/AAAAAAABuhY/kp2ZJE3f5cg/s640/Nissan_Gripz_Concept_08.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Inspiration</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although maintaining a similar footprint to a compact crossover, the Nissan Gripz Concept has the silhouette of a sports car with a raised ride height, equipped to conquer more challenging driving conditions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The result pays homage to one of Nissan's first "crossovers" – the iconic Safari Rally-winning Nissan 240Z. In the 1970s, these sports cars were re-engineered using expertise gathered from Nissan's 4x4 range to cope with the demanding conditions of the Baja Peninsula, the open plains of Kenya, Uganda and present day Tanzania. These rally racers featured a raised ride height, toughened suspension and sported a matt-black finish for the bonnet and trunk set against a deep red-orange body color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Nissan 240Zs were proof that sports cars didn't have to be low to the ground to be fun. The Nissan Gripz Concept proves this again – incorporating Nissan's expertise in crossovers, 4x4s, sports cars, and to bring it fully up to date for the new generation, electric powertrain prowess. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Powertrain</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Nissan Gripz Concept is equipped with an EV technology based Series hybrid system "Pure Drive e-Power." An efficient gasoline engine is used to power the electric motor found in the Nissan LEAF.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The powertrain combines Nissan's various control technologies from its years of experience developing EVs. This configuration delivers smooth, swift and linear acceleration in near-silence, with supreme efficiency. As a result, the Nissan Gripz Concept offers a smooth, refined and exhilarating driving experience with outstanding fuel efficiency.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Design</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Nissan Gripz Concept is seen as a design statement rather than a replacement for an existing model, although it does feature cues from Nissan's new "emotional geometry" design language.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Crossover concept incorporates four key design elements first seen in Europe on the Nissan Sway, one of the stars of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. As with Sway, Gripz features a V-motion grille, boomerang lamps front and rear, a floating roof and a kicked-up C pillar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, the similarities end there. While Sway hinted at a possible direction for a compact hatchback, the Nissan Gripz Concept is quite the different proposition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Nissan pioneered the idea of the compact crossover, and this is reflected in the enormous popularity of Qashqai and JUKE and the resulting growth of the market segment as other manufacturers play catch-up,"said Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer, Nissan Motor Company, Ltd."While the Nissan Gripz Concept is not seen as a direct replacement for either of those two iconic vehicles, it does show the extremes to which the compact crossover can be pushed."</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Created through collaboration between Nissan Design Europe in London and Nissan Global Design Center in Japan, the exterior of the Nissan Gripz Concept is guided by the "emotional geometry" body sculpting concept which depicts strong contrasts through the dynamic, tensional, yet edgy surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Dual Personality</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Taking the high-tech simplicity – two apparent contradictions – of a racing bicycle as inspiration, the concept features a carbon frame over which expressive body panels are placed, like armored cladding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Exposed carbon elements spear through the design, accentuating features such as the boomerang-shape given to the leading edge of the front door structure. Gripz has four doors – with deep dihedral front doors that swing out and up when opened, and a pair of rear-hinged half-doors behind. There is no B-pillar, allowing easy access to the 2+2 interior.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The front end is dominated by Nissan's V-motion grille, mounted low and framed by rectangular lamps housing high and low beams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Embedded in the lamps are forward-facing cameras that record every journey, just as a helmet-cam is used by cyclists. Using a live feed, adventures through great roads can be beamed around the world, allowing for friends to follow the car's progress on their computer, tablet or smart phone in real time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Boomerang-shaped running lights sit above the lamps, on top of the front fenders and denote the demarcation line between the matt-black bonnet and the red-orange main body colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
More matte-black can be found on the extended wheel arches, the pinched and indented triangular sill (raised to increase ground clearance) and the A-pillar leading to the floating roof. The roof features a central glazed panel with bullet grey-colored composite panels on either side over the seating areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These reduce in width as they flow towards the rear of the car and blend into the rear lamps, which mirror the boomerang shape of the front running lights and wrap themselves around the rear three quarters of the car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
At the rear, a dramatic truncated matte-black Kamm tail gives the concept a "codatronca" effect, while beneath the tailgate sits a pair of chromed trapezoidal exhaust pipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Constructed for the concept by Bridgestone, three-spoke, 22-inch wheels are also inspired by racing bicycles – lightweight yet strong, wearing comparatively thin high-pressure tires. Red and white graphics on the sidewalls are replicated on the car's steering wheel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While the exterior was created in Europe, a dedicated team based in Japan designed the interior. Like the exterior, functional simplicity is the key to the design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Again featuring a mix of matte-grey and the deep red-orange colors, the interior underlines the car's Tour de France inspiration with exposed tubes, molded bucket seats and layered features echoing the cladding effect found on the exterior.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The seats and center console are directly inspired by bicycles, as are the door pulls that are shaped like saddles from a racing bike. The three-spoke steering wheel, meanwhile, replicates the car's road wheels, right down to the special graphics found on the tire sidewalls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Like the Nissan Sway Concept and recent production cars, the Nissan Gripz Concept has a "Gliding Wing" instrument panel. This elegantly thin design combines strength with simplicity and perfectly echoes the ethos of the concept.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"What influence this Concept's design has on the next crossover generation from Nissan remains to be seen, though we are keen to gauge public reaction when it appears at the Frankfurt Show," said Nakamura.</div>

<i>Audi e-tron quattro concept</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Flow-enhanced design with a drag coefficient of 0.25; a powerful, all-electric e-tron quattro drive with up to 370 kW – Audi is presenting the Audi e-tron quattro concept at the International Motor Show (IAA) 2015 in Frankfurt. The car is the company’s statement about the future of electric mobility: It is sporty, efficient and suitable for everyday use.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
“Audi will present an all-electric, luxury-class sport SUV in early 2018. The Audi e‑tron quattro concept provides a concrete foretaste of this,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Audi Board of Management for Technical Development. “It combines driving pleasure with great range, an expressive design and excellent comfort.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Electric power</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Audi e‑tron quattro concept uses the power of three electric motors: One electric motor drives the front axle, the two others act on the rear axle. Total output is 320 kW. The driver can even mobilize 370 kW and over 800 Nm (590.0 lb-ft) of torque temporarily while boosting. The concept study thus performs like a sports car. When the driver floors the right pedal, the Audi e‑tron quattro concept sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.6 seconds and quickly reaches the electronically governed top speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The concept with three electric motors which Audi is presenting for the first time makes the technology study an e‑tron quattro. An intelligent drive management system controls the interplay between them as appropriate for the situation. The focus here is on the greatest possible efficiency. The driver decides on the degree of recuperation, the driving program S or D and the mode of the Audi drive select system.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
During sporty driving on a winding road, the Torque Control Manager actively distributes the power between the rear wheels as necessary. This torque vectoring provides for maximum dynamics and stability.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The large lithium-ion battery is integrated into the floor of the passenger compartment. It gives the Audi e‑tron quattro concept a balanced axle load distribution and a low center of gravity – prerequisites for its dynamic handling. The battery’s capacity of 95 kWh enables a range of more than 500 kilometers (310.7 mi). The Combined Charging System (CCS) enables charging with DC or AC electrical current. A full charge with DC electrical current at a charging column with an output of 150 kW takes just around 50 minutes. As an alternative, the study is equipped with Audi Wireless Charging technology for contactless induction charging. The charging process is very convenient. The Audi e‑tron quattro concept uses a system for piloted parking that guides it to the proper position at the charging plate. In addition, a large solar roof provides electricity for the drive system battery on sunny days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The chassis also expresses the high-tech character of the concept study. The adaptive air suspension sport, which features controlled damping, lowers the body at higher speeds to reduce drag. The dynamic-all-wheel steering combines a dynamic steering system on the front axle with a steering system for the rear wheels. Depending on speed and the driving situation, they steer either opposite or in the same direction as the front wheels. The Audi e‑tron quattro concept thus reacts even more spontaneously and stably, and is also very manoeuvrable at low speeds.</div>

<i>Mercedes-Benz Cars at the IAA 2015</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>FRANKFURT</b>. Mercedes-Benz is setting benchmarks in automotive fascination and innovative power with five world premieres at the IAA 2015. No fewer than four new models expand the line-up of Mercedes Dream Cars – the new C-Class Coupé and the new S-Class Cabriolet, each in two standalone versions from Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG. Also making its debut in Frankfurt is the Concept Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile, known in short as the Concept IAA. The “Digital Transformer” shows how far advanced Mercedes-Benz already is in the digitalisation of automotive development and production. Another world premiere at the Frankfurt International Motor Show is the new smart cabrio, the only “true” cabriolet in its class.</div>

IAA 2015 leaves us in no doubt – the automotive industry is changing fundamentally and the driver of this development is called “digitalisation”. Mercedes-Benz is setting the pace in this transition. “The Concept IAA shows that the real and the virtual world are merging more and more at Mercedes-Benz,” said Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, speaking at the start of the Mercedes-Benz and smart press conference at the IAA.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The pace of technical development is rising. “Never before have we developed a vehicle concept as quickly as our Concept IAA,” Zetsche continued. “What previously took up to one and a half years, we managed in less than 10 months thanks to digitalisation.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<b>Concept IAA – the “Digital Transformer”</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Strictly speaking, the Concept IAA embodies two cars in one – a four-door coupé with a fascinating design and an aerodynamic world record breaker with a cd figure of 0.19. Upwards of 80 km/h, the study automatically switches from design mode to aerodynamic mode, changing its form with a number of aerodynamic features. At the rear end, eight segments deploy, extending it by up to 390 mm; front flaps in the front bumper extend outwards by 25 mm and rearwards by 200 mm, improving airflow around the front end and the front wheel arches; the active wheel rims change their cupping from 50 mm to zero; and the fin in the front bumper retracts by 60 mm to improve flow along the underbody.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The secret of this innovative approach is in the systematic digital networking of different departments at Mercedes-Benz. The aerodynamics were developed with numerical flow simulation. Mercedes-Benz aerodynamics experts used around one million CPU hours to simulate the airflow, working through around 300 variants. The work involved is roughly equivalent to that required to develop a production model.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Concept IAA also offers a glimpse of future in areas not immediately apparent. The study is equipped with a large number of sensors and modules that enable autonomous driving and car-to-x communication. Further innovations like the operating concept with touch-based functionalities in the interior likewise point the way to the business saloon of the near future.</div>

<b>“Mercedes-Benz is growing profitably”</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Digitalisation is accelerating processes at Mercedes-Benz – and not just for show cars, but for production vehicles, too. Zetsche: “We are digitalising our entire value chain – from development, through production to marketing & sales. And it’s paying off; Mercedes-Benz continues to break records.” From January to August, the brand delivered around 1.2 million vehicles to customers worldwide. This equates to an increase of 15.1 percent compared with last year. Zetsche: “An operating margin of 10.7 percent for the second quarter shows that we are growing profitably.” The basis for this is the Mercedes-Benz product line-up, which is more fascinating and diverse than ever. “Which is why,” said Zetsche, “we are definitely continuing our product offensive.”</div>

<b>C-Class Coupé – athletic, dynamic, sensual</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The first example of this to roll into the IAA spotlight is the new C-Class Coupé. The sportiest model variant of the C-Class combines sensual design with agility and modern luxury. The particularly well-appointed interior underscores the elegantly sporty look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Commenting on this, Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Marketing & Sales, said: “Coupés have always played a very special role in our Dream Car Collection. They are the essence of elegance and sporting character, of driving fun and individuality. And we nurture this image very carefully. At the end of the day, the desire for differentiation is growing around the world. It’s perfectly clear that anybody seeking individuality will certainly find what they are looking for at Mercedes.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The technical highlights of the new C-Class Coupé include the dynamic suspension set-up, with optionally available air suspension, effective lightweight design and excellent aerodynamics as well as powerful and efficient engines. New assistance systems offer the very highest levels of safety.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé – the sportiest C-Class ever</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All these strengths combined with an extra portion of performance – as offered by the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé. The AMG version is the next step on the way to even more technical and visual independence. Distinctively flared wings front and rear, a wider track and bigger wheels give the coupé a powerful look, while also delivering the basis for extremely agile longitudinal and lateral dynamics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The brand’s typical “Driving Performance” reaches a whole new level with the C 63 Coupé. The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo with 350 kW (476 hp) or 375 kW (510 hp) was developed entirely in Affalterbach, as were the sophisticated RIDE CONTROL suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers, the set-up of the DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes, the rear-axle differential lock and the dynamic engine mounts.</div>

<b>Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet – open for luxury</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The most emotional model among the “Mercedes Dream Cars” is the new S-Class Cabriolet, which is likewise celebrating a double world premiere at the IAA. Like the two new C-Class Coupés, the luxurious four-seat cabriolets by Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG drove onto the stage together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Alongside the sporty S-Class Coupé and the individual sedans from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach, the new convertible is the sixth variant of the globally successful S-Class. “In 2013, we announced a model offensive in our S-Class portfolio – the expansion from three to six models. While others talk about ideas for the luxury class, we have delivered,” said Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. “Our customers value that,” continued Weber. “In 2014, its first full year of sales, the new S-Class was the world’s bestselling luxury saloon with sales of more than 100,000 units. As early as November, we’re likely to see the number of current S-Class models produced to-date reach 250,000.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The new convertible is the first open-top luxury four-seater from Mercedes-Benz since 1971. It builds on the tradition of the 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet. With its multi-layer soft top, top-level technology from the S-Class and a sophisticated climate comfort concept, it sets the new benchmark for convertibles in the luxury sector. With the top up, it is the quietest convertible in the world. And with a cd figure of 0.29, it is also the aerodynamic benchmark in the segment. The Mercedes-Benz S 500 Cabriolet is driven by a 335 kW (455 hp), 4.6-litre V8 biturbo engine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Weber: “Besides all the technical sophistication, two things were particularly important to us - a fantastic design that is utterly stunning from first sight and a premium look-and-feel in the interior that is second to none.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dieter Zetsche: “The new S-Class Cabriolet may not become our bestselling car, but I am certain it will be one of the most coveted. I think all these new products make it very clear that Mercedes-Benz is maintaining full-speed ahead.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Mercedes-AMG S 63 4MATIC Cabriolet – the superlative dream car</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In Frankfurt, Mercedes-AMG is presenting the global public with a superlative dream car in the shape of the S 63 4MATIC. For the first time in its 48-year company history, the Mercedes-Benz sports car and performance brand is offering a four-seat cabriolet in the S-Class segment and is thus expanding its portfolio with an attractive alternative for automotive enthusiasts with a penchant for performance and luxury.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The prerequisites could not be better – the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with 430 kW (585 hp) and maximum torque of 900 Nm guarantees supreme propulsion, which is also delivered forcefully to the road by the standard-fit AMG 4MATIC performance all-wheel drive.</div>

<b>smart cabrio – the joy of city life</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Also offering individual open-air driving fun is the new smart fortwo cabrio – a variant of the new model range that is also celebrating its world premiere at the IAA. The new cabriolet is a master of the quick change – at the push of a button, it switches from closed two-seater to a car with a large folding sunroof and, finally, to a cabriolet with a completely open top. It easily adapts the enjoyment of the open air to suit weather, mood and personal preference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Individualisation is a major smart strength – one reason for the success of BRABUS tailor made. The wide-ranging individualisation programme is now established across Europe as well as in the USA and China. smart BRABUS tailor made is also now available for the new smart generation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dr. Annette Winkler, Head of smart: “I am certain our new smart cabriolet will be a huge hit with all smart fans. And it will win new customers for us, too, because it is both the most inexpensive cabriolet in the world and, at the same time, the most exclusive way to drive a smart.”</div>

</ul>
<span style="text-align: justify;">The International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt will be the stage for the presentation of the new Tiguan. After selling over 2.64 million units of the first generation, Volkswagen is revealing the latest generation of the SUV at today's Group Night and at the IAA that begins tomorrow.</span><br />

Volkswagen is showing four versions* of the new Tiguan at the IAA (open to the public: 17 to 27 September). The production versions being presented are the exceptionally sporty Tiguan R-Line, the classic on-road model and an off-road version tuned specifically for off-road use. Meanwhile, the Tiguan GTE – a concept vehicle with a plug-in hybrid drive (160 kW / 218 PS of system power) – offers an outlook on the future development of the best-selling SUV.</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wXgYs8ZbVec/VfgXafC4F4I/AAAAAAABuU4/2YY1DIw6Ek4/s1600/2016_VW-TIGUAN_21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wXgYs8ZbVec/VfgXafC4F4I/AAAAAAABuU4/2YY1DIw6Ek4/s640/2016_VW-TIGUAN_21.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The second generation of the best-seller is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the path-breaking MQB (modular transverse matrix) platform. It improves all of the properties of the Tiguan. The body proportions of the latest Volkswagen SUV are perceptibly sporty, and the design shows charisma from all perspectives. Its weight was also reduced by over 50 kg compared to the previous model. Meanwhile, the amount of space offered in the interior and luggage compartment has taken a gigantic leap forward. The boot volume of the new Tiguan can take on up to 615 litres of cargo (loaded to the back of the rear bench); when the rear seat backrests are folded, its capacity increases to 1,655 litres. This represents a gain of 145 litres.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The engines are also characterised by gains in efficiency. A broad range of eight engines is available; they have power outputs ranging between 85 kW / 115 PS and 176 kW / 240 PS. The drives were made more powerful, yet they are up to 24 per cent more fuel-efficient than those of the previous model. The new 4MOTION Active Control also lets drivers adjust the all-wheel drive system more individually and easier to all possible driving conditions. Thanks to its impressive drive concept, the Tiguan has been engineered for trailer loads of up to 2,500 kg. The assistance systems perfect the vehicle's convenience, dynamism and safety (including Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, Lane Assist and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, all as standard). Online services open up new service dimensions (such as automatic accident notification, online traffic and parking space info, vehicle status report), the on-board electronics integrate all of today's smartphones of the Apple and Android worlds into the functionality of the infotainment systems via App Connect, and even tablets become an integral part of the automobile via the Media Control app. This has resulted in a Tiguan with which Volkswagen is redefining broad aspects of the A-SUV segment.</div>

<i>PORSCHE Mission E Concept</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="bodylocation"><b>STUTTGART</b> - </span>In presenting the Mission E at the IAA in Frankfurt, Porsche is
introducing the first all-electrically powered four-seat sports car in
the brand's history. The concept car combines the unmistakable emotional
design of a Porsche with excellent performance and the forward-thinking
practicality of the first 800-volt drive system. Key specification data
of this fascinating sports car: four doors and four single seats, over
600 hp (440 kW) system power and over 500 km driving range. All-wheel
drive and all-wheel steering, zero to 100 km/h acceleration in under 3.5
seconds and a charging time of around 15 minutes to reach an 80 per
cent charge of electrical energy. Instruments are intuitively operated
by eye-tracking and gesture control, some even via holograms – highly
oriented toward the driver by automatically adjusting the displays to
the driver's position.</div>

<b>Drive system: over 600 hp with technologies from endurance racing</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
The
drive system of the Mission E is entirely new, yet it is typical
Porsche, i.e. proven in motor racing. Two permanent magnet synchronous
motors (PMSM) – similar to those used in this year's Le Mans victor, the
919 hybrid – accelerate the sports car and recover braking energy. The
best proof of a Porsche is 24 hours of top racing performance and a 1-2
finish. Together the two motors produce over 600 hp, and they propel the
Mission E to a speed of 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and to 200
km/h in under twelve seconds. In addition to their high efficiency,
power density and uniform power development, they offer another
advantage: unlike today's electric drive systems, they can develop their
full power even after multiple accelerations at short intervals. The
need-based all-wheel drive system with Porsche Torque Vectoring – which
automatically distributes torque to the individual wheels – transfers
the drive system's power to the road, and all-wheel steering gives
precise, sporty steering in the desired direction. This makes the
Mission E fit for the circuit race track; its lap time on the
Nürburgring Nordschleife is under the eight-minute mark.<br />
<br />
<b>Everyday practicality: convenient and quick charging, over 500 km driving range</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
It
is not just passionate sportiness that makes up a Porsche but also a
high level of everyday practicality. Accordingly, the Mission E can
travel over 500 km on one battery charge, and it can be charged with
enough energy for around 400 km more driving range in about fifteen
minutes. The reason: Porsche is a front-runner in introducing innovative
800-volt technology for the first time. Doubling the voltage – compared
to today's electric vehicles that operate at 400 volts – offers
multiple advantages: shorter charging times and lower weight, because
lighter, smaller gage copper cables are sufficient for energy transport.
A moveable body segment on the front left wing in front of the driver's
door gives access to the charging port for the innovative “Porsche
Turbo Charging” system. Via the 800-volt port, the battery can be
charged to approximately 80 per cent of its capacity in around 15
minutes – a record time for electric vehicles. As an alternative, the
technology platform can be connected to a conventional 400-volt charging
station, or it can be replenished at home in the garage via convenient
inductive charging by simply parking over a coil embedded in the floor
of the garage from which the energy is transferred without cables to a
coil on the car's underbody.<br />
<br />
<b>Low centre of gravity for superior driving dynamics</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Another
feature that is typical of a Porsche sports car is a lightweight
concept with optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity.
The battery mounted in the car's underbody, which is based on the latest
lithium-ion technology, runs the whole length between the front and
rear axles. This distributes its weight to the two drive axles
uniformly, resulting in exceptionally good balance. In addition, it
makes the sports car's centre of gravity extremely low. Both of these
factors significantly boost performance and a sports car feeling. The
body as a whole is made up of a functional mix of aluminium, steel and
carbon fibre reinforced polymer. The wheels are made of carbon: the
Mission E has wide tyres mounted on 21-inch wheels in front and 22-inch
wheels at the rear.<br />
<br />
<b>Design: fascinating sports car with Porsche DNA</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Every
square inch, every angle, every radius of the Mission E reflects one
thing above all else: emotional sportiness in the best tradition of
Porsche design. The starting point is the sculpture of a sport saloon
with a low height of 130 cm with sports car attributes from Zuffenhausen
that embodies visible innovations such as its integrated aerodynamics.
Distinctive air inlets and outlets – on the front, sides and at the rear
– typify the body's full flow-through design that enhances efficiency
and performance. Integrated air guides improve airflow around the
wheels, for instance, and air outlets on the sides reduce overpressure
in the wheel wells, thereby reducing lift.<br />
<br />
The much reduced
sculpting of the front end shows a classic Porsche sweepback, and it
relates the concept car to the 918 Spyder and Porsche race cars. A new
type of matrix LED headlights in the brand's typical four-point light
design captures the viewer's gaze. Integrated as an element hovering in
the airflow of the air inlet, they lend a futuristic character to the
front end. The four LED units are grouped around a flat sensor for
assistance systems whose border serves as an indicator light.
Distinctive front wings and an extremely low-cut bonnet reference 911
design. As in the 911 GT3 RS, a wide characteristic recess extends from
the overlapping front luggage compartment lid up and over the roof. The
line of the side windows is also similar to that of the 911, however,
with one important difference: two counter-opening doors enable
convenient entry – without a B-pillar. Another difference: instead of
the classic door mirror, inconspicuous cameras are mounted on the sides
that contribute to the car's exceptional aerodynamics.<br />
<br />
The rear
design underscores the typical sports car architecture. The lean cabin
with its accelerated rear windscreen, which draws inward at the rear,
creates space for the sculpted shape of the rear wings that only a
Porsche can have. A three-dimensional “PORSCHE” badge illuminated from
inside hovers beneath an arch of light that extends across the entire
width in a black glass element.<br />
<br />
<b>Interior: light and open with four single seats</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
The
interior of the Mission E transfers all of the traditional Porsche
design principles into the future: openness, purist design, clean
architecture, driver orientation and everyday practicality. The
all-electric drive concept made it possible to fully reinterpret the
interior. The lack of a transmission tunnel, for instance, opens up
space and gives a lighter and more airy atmosphere to the entire
interior. Race bucket seats served as inspiration for the four single
seats. Their lightweight design is weight-saving, and it gives occupants
secure lateral support during dynamic driving. Between the front seats,
the centre console – elegantly curved like a bridge with open space
beneath it – extends up to the dashboard.<br />
<br />
<b>Display and control concept: intuitive, fast and free of distractions</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
A
new world based on an innovative display and control concept opens up
before the driver. It is intuitive, fast and free of distractions –
created for the sports car of tomorrow. The filigree driver's display is
curved, low-profile and free-standing. The instrument cluster shows
five round instruments – they can be recognized as Porsche, but they are
displayed virtually in OLED technology, i.e. by organic light-emitting
diodes. The round instruments are organized according to the
driver-relevant themes of Connected Car, Performance, Drive, Energy and
Sport Chrono. The controls are just as innovative. An eye-tracking
system detects, via camera, which instrument the driver is viewing. The
driver can then activate the menu of the instrument in focus by pushing a
button on the steering wheel and navigate in it – which also involves
an interplay of eye-tracking and manual activation. But that is not all:
the display follows the seat position and body attitude of the driver
in what is known as a parallax effect. If the driver sits lower, higher
or leans to one side, the 3D display of the round instruments reacts and
moves with the driver. This eliminates situations in which the steering
wheel blocks the driver's view of certain key information, for
instance. All relevant information such as vehicle speed is always
within the driver's line of sight.<br />
<br />
The Mission E can even portray
driving fun: a camera mounted in the rear-view mirror recognizes the
driver's good mood and shows it as an emoticon in the round instrument.
The fun factor can be saved together with individual information such as
the route or speed, and it can be shared with friends via a social
media link.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Holographic display with touch-free gesture control</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
The
entire dashboard is chock full of new ideas. Its division into two
three-dimensionally structuring layers reinforces the impression of
lightness and clarity. The upper layer integrates the driver's display,
and between the levels there is a holographic display that extends far
into the passenger's side. It shows individually selectable apps, which
are stacked in virtual space and arranged by priority with a
three-dimensional effect. The driver – or passenger – can use these apps
to touch-free control primary functions such as media, navigation,
climate control, contacts and vehicle. The desired symbol is activated
by gestures that are detected by sensors. A grasping gesture means
select, while pulling means control. Moreover, driver or passenger can
use a touch display on the centre console to control secondary functions
such as detailed information menus.<br />
<br />
The concept vehicle can also
be configured externally from a tablet via Porsche Car Connect. Using
“Over the Air and Remote Services” the driver can essentially change the
functional content of the vehicle overnight. A simple update via the
integrated high-speed data module is all it takes to implement the
travel guide or additional functions for the chassis, engine or
infotainment system. The driver can use a smartphone or tablet to start
updates conveniently from the Porsche Connect Store. Furthermore,
Porsche Connect enables direct contact to a Porsche Centre for remote
diagnostics or to schedule appointments. Another function of integrated
Remote Services is the digital key, which can be sent via the Porsche
Connect Portal. It not only lets the owner open the doors, but also
other persons authorized by the owner such as friends or family. After
successful authentication, the key can be used within a specific time
frame and defined location.<br />
<br />
The virtual exterior mirrors are
literally eye-catching. The lower corners of the windscreen show the
images of the outside cameras that are mounted in the front wings. The
benefits: the driver gets a better view of images and the surroundings,
and safety information can also be actively displayed there.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>HONG KONG</strong> – Making its world premiere at the 2015
Frankfurt Motor Show (September 15), the Infiniti Q30 active compact is a
new type of premium vehicle for a new type of consumer. Representing
Infiniti's first global entry into the fast-growing premium compact
segment, the Q30 will play an important role in helping the company
realize its plans for global growth</div>
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vmsr1DlHoPo/Vfb7PCQZ8dI/AAAAAAABuOE/_XcvVgMwvT4/s1600/infiniti_q30_frankfurt_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vmsr1DlHoPo/Vfb7PCQZ8dI/AAAAAAABuOE/_XcvVgMwvT4/s640/infiniti_q30_frankfurt_02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Designed for a new generation of buyers who are not willing to be
defined by their choice of vehicle body type, the Q30 challenges
convention with its bold character and daring shape. The car stays true
to the signature design cues from the original 2013 concept and
exemplifies Infiniti's design-led, customer-centric approach to product
development. The unconventional stance and asymmetric interior
contribute to an overall design that is certain to command attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The development teams behind the Q30 have taken a holistic approach
to its engineering, presenting a car that offers exceptional ride and
handling. It feels comfortable yet "ready to go anywhere" thanks to the
versatile dimensions, confident dynamics and intuitive technologies.<br />
In addition to the base model, two bespoke versions of the Q30 will
be available: "Premium" and "Sport." Each will have its own unique
personality, including design, dimensions and driving performance –
offering premium compact buyers a choice that is specific to their
personal needs and preferences.<br />
<em>"Q30 makes a daring visual statement through its sculpted,
concept car-like exterior, unconventional stance and asymmetric cabin
design. The car has been engineered to exacting standards to deliver a
driving experience that is unmistakably Infiniti. Q30 will accelerate
the company's strategy to become a leading global manufacturer of
premium cars."</em><br />
Roland Krueger, President of Infiniti<br />
<br />
<strong>Q30 is a vital part of Infiniti's plans for global growth</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
The launch of the Q30 active compact comes at a moment of significant
opportunity for the Infiniti brand, and it will play a vital role in
global growth and strengthening of its presence in key sales regions.<br />
<br />
Infiniti sold a record 136,700 new vehicles worldwide during the
first eight months of 2015, representing an increase of 14 percent
compared to the same period in 2014. The brand also set records in
China, Asia & Oceania, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa).<br />
<br />
In August alone, Infiniti posted global sales of 16,900, an increase
of 19 percent over the same month last year. This marked the best August
in Infiniti's history, and the brand has now reached a 12-month streak
of best individual months on record. Sales records were set in many key
markets, such as Australia, Canada, China, Latin America, Mexico, South
Africa and West Europe.<br />
<br />
"<em>These excellent results provide a strong foundation for future
growth globally and in key regions, and the launch of Q30 means we're
well positioned to carry forward this momentum</em>."<br />
Roland Krueger, President of Infiniti<br />
<br />
The Q30 gives Infiniti the best platform from which to achieve its
goals in key markets globally. It will become the company's first ever
vehicle built in Europe at newly upgraded production facilities in
Sunderland, United Kingdom. Representing a £250 million investment,
plant extensions totalling over 25,000m2 will provide Infiniti with the
production facility to satisfy the demands of premium vehicle
manufacturing. A successful recruitment program has recently been
completed, filling over 300 new jobs to support Q30 production.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong style="text-align: justify;">Q30 is the beginning of Infiniti's push to expand its product line-up</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong style="text-align: justify;"><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the launch of the Q30 active compact, Infiniti has started to
deliver on the promise to expand and refresh its product portfolio
within new premium segments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staying true to the concept revealed at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor
Show, the Q30 is an in-house development designed and engineered to meet
exacting Infiniti standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Q30 is integral to Infiniti's commitment to offering a broader
range of premium products in new segments, and is part of an intense
product launch period that will see us </em><em>further </em><em>enhance our </em><em>offer</em><em> to an increasing number of customers."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roland Krueger, President of Infiniti</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infiniti is adding new product at the right time, as data show that
the premium compact segment is among the fastest expanding globally, and
it is set to continue its growth trajectory as we approach the end of
the decade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Infiniti entering the compact segment for the first time </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Representing the first vehicle of its kind for the company, Infiniti
has dared to be bold and ambitious with the Q30 active compact. The car
defies categorization with its rare shape and elevated stance. Its
expressive design targets premium customers seeking urban individuality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"From the very beginning of product development, it was clear
that Q30 presented an outstanding opportunity for Infiniti. The
company's inspiration was to create a vehicle that mirrored the
existence of a new generation of premium buyers."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Francois Bancon, Infiniti Vice President Product Strategy</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combining unique height and dimensions with coupe-like proportions,
the Q30 conveys a "ready to go anywhere" attitude while maintaining an
"at home in the city" versatility – perfect for those wanting to create
their own unique experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generations X and Y are a new breed of premium car buyers. For these
buyers, a car is an expression of "self" rather than "status," and they
insist on setting their own standards through unique, category-defying
products. For them, personalising a brand is a means to individual
expression – a "made for me" approach that is at the core of new luxury.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To satisfy these demands, every decision that went into crafting the
Q30 was made for the individual. For example, the alloy wheels allow for
true personalization, with a laser-cutting process enabling the precise
application of an accent colour of choice. The process is so precise
that the bespoke colored lines can be as thin as 0.3mm, offering a
subtle way of making the car your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Complementing the bespoke nature of Q30, perceptual quality levels
meet the expectations and high standards of buyers in the premium
compact segment. Superior fit and finish details, both visible and
tactile, are available across all grades. For example, a satin
chrome-plated trim, rather than plastic chrome, gives Q30 a
"cool-to-the-touch" feel, even in hot temperatures, while consistent use
of black lacquer trim across wheel arches and side sills highlights the
Q30's elevated stance, contributing to the strong, unique road presence
of the vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Q30 takes a design-led approach that forges a unique path</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staying true to the design cues from the original 2013 concept, the
Q30 active compact exemplifies Infiniti's design-led approach to product
development.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<em>Infiniti is an expression of design. We want our customers to
feel the hand of the artist at work in the sculpted, muscular aesthetic
of our cars</em>. <em>Q30 design is marked by turbulent character lines
and sculptural shapes that look stretched over bone and muscle. The
effect is a spontaneous feeling of harmonious design that can be
appreciated at a glance."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An important, differentiating characteristic of the Q30's design is
its combination of elevated stance with an overall height that is
comparable with models in the traditional compact segment (1,495mm for
base and Premium and 1,475mm for Sport). The result is a highly
distinctive, coupe-like silhouette, which is further emphasised by a
shallow side glass area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 takes Infiniti's signature design cues and evolves them into
new dynamic shapes. The double-arch grille with 3D mesh, for example,
has grown from the Q50, with a more fluid movement into the headlamps.
The dramatic curves and turbulent lines flow up the signature
double-wave bonnet, over the fenders and across the bodyline into the
strong shoulder of the car. The signature C-pillar arcs forward in a
dynamic crescent shape that emphasises motion, even when stationary. The
contrast of the long, low-slung roofline, conjuring an image of a
rakish shooting brake in silhouette, and elevated stance add to the
visual impact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above the base Q30 model, two grades – "Premium" and "Sport" – permit
opportunities for further individual expression through exterior
design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 Premium includes LED front fog lamps, body-colored and heated
door mirrors, as well as chrome dual rectangular exhaust finishers.
Eighteen-inch alloy wheels add to the Premium grade's striking
appearance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The face of the Q30 Sport is slightly different, thanks to a shapely
bespoke bumper and gloss black front grille. Custom body-colored
sidesills give the car a striking, in-motion look, while a sporty rear
bumper is joined by dark chrome dual rectangular exhaust finishers.
Nineteen-inch alloy wheels complete the confident look of the Sport
model.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 Premium's elevated stance (170mm at the front axle) allows
for a higher hip point (531mm), which aids ingress and egress. The
A-pillar design is intentionally slim, contributing to enhanced
visibility for a confident driving experience. Q30 Sport stands a little
lower (155mm at front axle), providing for agile ride and handling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30's coupe-like design belies its interior space and
functionality. Cabin room is highly competitive, notably the boot
capacity of 13 cubic-feet (368 liters VDA), which ranks among the best
in the premium compact segment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"The Q30 is not the little brother or sister to siblings from
larger segments. The car features a unique posture and shape that
conveys the type of spontaneity and independent spirit that can only be
matched by its owner."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infiniti's bold approach to design continues inside the Q30, where
buyers will find an expressive interior that challenges traditional
standards of symmetry in automotive design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The beautifully styled, asymmetric surfaces feature wave shapes and
dynamic lines that twist apart and flow away from the driver. This
"dissymmetry" alters the conventional perception of occupant areas,
creating a more pleasant environment in which to spend time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Infiniti wants to offer an environment in which the driver stays
connected to the driving experience and where passengers feel relaxed
in an open, aesthetically pleasing space. All occupants will appreciate a
high level of artistry in the flowing, asymmetric lines."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Custom-designed trims deliver a personalized, self-expressive
interior design. "City Black" blends black upholstery with purple
stitching, ideal for the all-night urbanite. "Cafe Teak" combines classy
brown and black upholstery with black stitching, providing a modern
twist on traditional concepts of premium. "Gallery White" endows Q30
with a fashionable, high-contrast appearance, featuring white leather
with red accents. All three "designer" trims accentuate the Q30's
stand-out interior and will add to the car's appeal for open-minded
premium buyers looking for a new, creative approach to cabin design.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infiniti interior designers have also selected the highest quality
materials and processes available to create a modern-looking and
luxurious cabin. For example, a super-soft, highly tactile material
lines high-impact areas of the interior, such as door trims and the
center armrest, while "Dinamica®," a new Italian suede-like material
used increased increasingly in the high-fashion industry, has been
applied to the roof-line and pillars.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Interior noise levels in Q30 add to the overall cabin comfort.
Infiniti sound engineers used the official Articulation Index, a
standard way of measuring the level of speech intelligibility provided
in a space, to measure the quality of occupant conversation within the
cabin. Q30 features a 10-percent improvement in audibility over the
leading segment competition at a speed of 120kph.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quietness in the cabin is aided by Active Noise Cancellation, which
emits sound waves from the four door speakers to negate any instances of
booming noise emanating from the 2.2-liter diesel engine (Europe market
only). Sound-damping materials further reduce the impact of unwanted
noise, either from the engine or exterior elements, while the closed
sections of the high-rigidity body structure protect the Q30 from any
negative noise and vibration generated by broken or inconsistent road
surfaces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further interior comfort is guaranteed thanks to an advanced seat
design. The seatback has been carefully engineered to match the
curvature of the spine, providing consistent spinal support and
minimising pressure on back muscles. A wider fitting shape on the seats
distributes weight more evenly, while the softness of the seat cushion
provides enhanced support and comfort. Internal testing by Infiniti
engineers showed that the Q30 seat back section distributes load more
effectively than its competitors in the segment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For drivers wanting to add to the dynamic feel inside the Q30, sports
seats with integrated headrests are available for the first time in an
Infiniti, featuring eight-way adjustment and power lumbar support. The
Q30 Sport features a leather-wrapped, flat-bottomed steering wheel, as
well as aluminium pedals and footrests, adding to the in-control driving
experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On certain grades, drivers can also stay in tune with the dynamic
performance of the Q30 through Active Sound Enhancement, which monitors
acceleration behaviour and gear ratio, smoothing out variations in
engine tone to project a harmonious and exhilarating sound when
accelerating.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Confident dynamics deliver a holistic driving experience </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 active compact delivers a dynamic driving experience unique
to Infiniti. Development started at the brand's technical center in
Japan, before moving to Europe for final development and testing. In
total, over 750 Infiniti engineers in Japan and Europe were involved in
the car's development.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"Each mechanical aspect has been tuned in unison to make the Q30
perform as one, delivering a holistic driving experience that is both
involving and intuitive. As a result, high performance is deployed
consistently."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grahame Cornforth, Infiniti Chief Vehicle Engineer</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The priority for Infiniti engineers was to strike an ideal balance
between ride and handling. The car stays firm on the road thanks to
specially tuned shock absorbers, with engineers considering over 50
variations on prototype vehicles before choosing the optimal setting,
while the driving remains smooth throughout. Body stiffness has been
enhanced to the benefit of the driver, eliminating negative sensations
and audio cues, so the Q30 experience feels and sounds controlled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infiniti engineers have designed the suspension to be both forgiving
and comfortable, without sacrificing agility. Bump shock rates and shock
absorber rebound rates have been specially tuned, while MacPherson
front struts offer tight packaging to best handle Q30's size and weight.
A multilink system at the rear offers precise wheel control in all any
conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30's steering has been tuned to deliver a consistent and
connected feeling, thanks to an intuitive speed-sensitive system. A
light and nimble feel makes the car easier to control in busy city
traffic and urban environments, reducing stress and driver fatigue,
while a gradual increase in resistance according to incremental changes
in speed boosts driver confidence and control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>"The Q30 offers excellent steering</em><em>, further enhancing</em><em>
the overall ride and handling feel, as well as a tuned suspension and
body response that's uniquely Infiniti. Thanks to this set-up, the car
offers a firm and in-control driving sensation, a perfect example being
Q30's ability to confidently steer the right cornering angle and 'hold
the line' precisely though the corner."</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Grahame Cornforth, Infiniti Chief Vehicle Engineer</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Depending on the grade, Q30's suspension settings endow unique
performance attributes. The base and Premium model are best suited to
the varied, and often inconsistent road surfaces found in urban
environments, the suspension set-up biased towards reducing vibration
and harshness picked up from the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 Sport – with 15mm lower ground clearance than the base and
Premium versions – gives a firmer ride, facilitating tighter body
control and reduced roll without compromising comfort. The Sport grade
has been engineered to be used comfortably on a daily basis while
offering an intuitive, in-control driving experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A varied range of powertrain options is available globally, all tuned
to provide exciting power delivery. In the European base model, there
is a 1.6-liter engine, with either 120hp or 154hp. Also in Europe,
diesel options include 1.5- and 2.2-liter engines, both four cylinder,
with 107hp and 168hp power outputs, respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to these powertrain options, and the only engine offered
in the U.S., Premium and Sport models add a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder
gasoline engine producing 208hp. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Automatic gear shifts are smooth and seamless thanks to a seven-speed
dual-clutch transmission. The dual clutch intelligently pre-selects
gears so the next shift is always ready to go, while manual mode with
paddle shifters lets the driver control gear changes when desired.
Well-spaced ratios promise comfortable acceleration thanks to an even
distribution of power, whether at a steady or fast pace, while quick and
supple changes are ensured using either the fully automatic mode or the
paddle gear selectors. Torque is almost uninterrupted between changes,
reducing lurching while in motion and between shifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A six-speed manual transmission and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will also be made available.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Power delivery from all engines is smooth while responsive as
Infiniti's technical engineers have ensured the Q30's acceleration is
prompt and reactive – providing bursts of power when most needed, giving
confidence to the driver. An in-command sensation is generated by
easily controlled acceleration, enabling the driver to feel and regulate
the Q30's forward motion more intuitively.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Q30 features a host of intuitive technologies that enhance the
driving experience, while providing maximum safety to all occupants.
These include: Automatic Park Assist with Around View Monitor (AVM) and
Moving Object Detection (MOD), making the Q30 one of the easiest cars to
park in the premium compact segment; Blind Spot Warning, providing
greater security and confidence at speed by warning of other vehicles
out of the driver's line of sight; Forward Collision Warning with
Forward Emergency Braking, reducing the stress of driving in heavy
traffic or in the city; Auto High Beam Assist, a highly intuitive
technology that improves safety and confidence during night-time
driving; and Intelligent Cruise Control, maintaining a safe distance
from the car in front, resulting in a safe and relaxing drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A special metal plating method allows the radar waves of the
Intelligent Cruise Control to pass through the Infiniti badge – a first
for the brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infiniti's trademark InTouch infotainment system, first introduced on
the pioneering Q50, has been evolved and upgraded for the Q30,
delivering an intuitive, tablet-like experience from the driver's seat
via a delivering touch-screen HMI (human machine interface).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Infiniti Q30 active compact will go on sale in selected markets later in 2015.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Young DTM drivers made their mark on The DTM race at Oschersleben on Sunday, first and foremost BMW driver Tom Blomqvist. The 21-year-old Brit pulled clear from his opponents and scored his maiden DTM victory in his first season in the series. The manner in which he drove victory home was more than impressive. On nearly every lap, Blomqvist was faster than the opposition and went on to cross the finish line with a margin of almost eight seconds from team-mate Augusto Farfus. “That was the longest race of my life. I was out there leading the race for such a long time, I was really yearning for the finish,” the DTM rookie said after his first great success. “Simply unbelievable that I was able to win here.” All in all, the second race in the Magdeburger Börde had some similarities with the race on Saturday.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Tom Blomqvist</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For instance, on Sunday, the BMW Team RBM copied the performance from their colleagues at MTEK the day before: with Blomqvist and Farfus, the team’s two drivers finished in the first two positions, which MTEK had achieved with Timo Glock and Bruno Spenger on Saturday. Farfus: “I tried everything, but Tom simply was a little bit faster every time. He has absolutely deserved this win. It was a great weekend for me, for my team and for my manufacturer.” Like on Saturday, four BMWs locked out the first four positions: last year’s champion Marco Wittmann ended up third, António Félix da Costa finished in fourth place. Once again, seven of the eight BMW drivers managed to score points. Another similarity: Pascal Wehrlein again was the only one who was able to keep up with the drivers of the Munich-based brand. The Mercedes-Benz driver finished fifth, like on Saturday, while his fiercest rival in the battle for the title, Mattias Ekström, once again failed to score points.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On top of that, the opening stages of the race on Sunday had similarities with the one from the day before, although the main actors were different. For instance, Farfus started from pole position ahead of his team-mate, but lost his position straight away. Blomqvist had an excellent start and went past the Brazilian before the first corner. For Wehrlein, the situation was the opposite: he wasn’t able to hold on to his third grid position after a poor start. Félix da Costa and Marco Wittmann went past the German in the chicane to secure the four-way lead for BMW that was to remain unaffected until the end of the race. However, just like on Saturday, not every driver made it through the narrow S-corner just after the start-and-finish straight without damaghe. Christian Vietoris collided with Miguel Molina, Lucas Auer tangled with Nico Müller. The safety car was deployed and the race was over for both Audi drivers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When racing resumed at the end of the third lap, Mattias Ekström already had made up plenty of positions. The Swede had moved up from 18th to 13th place and was already closely behind Jamie Green and Bruno Spengler, his two direct rivals in the battle for the title. Two laps later, Green started a spirited attack on Spengler in the chicane, went past the Canadian and claimed eleventh place. Green’s hard, but fair manoeuvre briefly forced Spengler into the gravel trap, a situation that Ekström used immediately to get past the BMW driver as well. Behind Maxime Martin in tenth place, the trio with good chances in the drivers’ standings started their hunt for Vietoris. The latter initially had to let Martin past and then saw his three rivals passing by like a steam-roller: Green, Ekström and Spengler dealt with the Mercedes-Benz driver in the chicane and demoted him from tenth to 13th place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The final decision about the order in the four-way battle group came after the pit stops. Spengler was the first driver to come in for the mandatory tyre changes on lap eleven. His rivals followed one lap later. All drivers having rejoined the race, Green had overtaken Martin for eighth place thanks to his quick pit stop, but Spengler managed to get past Ekström into tenth place after the quick change by his team. All four drivers held on to their positions until the end of the race. While his rivals battled for the final points, championship leader Wehrlein drove an undisputed fifth place home. Wehrlein: “I had hoped for more, but today, I didn’t have the necessary speed and I got the maximum out of it. As far as the battle for the title is concerned, this race made me happy.” For Blomqvist, the race didn’t end with a proper crossing of the finish line. With one lap remaining, Lucas Auer crashed his Mercedes-Benz heavily into the tyre stacks. Auer remained unscathed, but the race was stopped with the red flag and not restarted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the battle for the 2015 DTM crown, Pascal Wehrlein has now scored 140 points. After his non-score at Oschersleben, Mattias Ekström remains at 126 points. Audi driver Edoardo Mortara (110 points), who didn’t score any points either, remains third. With the results in the Magdeburger Börde, where the seventh race weekend of the season attracted a total of 66,000 spectators, BMW has moved up from last to first in the manufacturers’ standings and, with 488 points, now has a clear lead from Audi (422 points) and Mercedes-Benz (417 points). Prior to the last four races of the season, the situation in all the classifications remains exciting. The thrilling battle for the DTM title continues in the Eifel. Between September 25 and 27, the Nürburgring is the venue for the 15th and 16th race of the season, before the grand finale at the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg (October 16-18) will bring about the final decision concerning victory or defeat.</div>

</ul>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Three in one – Volkswagen claimed a triumphant success in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) won the Rally Australia, ahead of team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN), to secure their third World Championship title in a row in the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ competitions. Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (N/N) finished fourth to complete the fantastic team result. The triumph Down Under also saw Volkswagen wrap up a third back-to-back Manufacturers’ Championship with rallies still to come. So great is their advantage in the overall standings that neither Ogier/Ingrassia nor Volkswagen can be caught in the remaining quarter of season.</span><br />

<b>Champagne shower Down Under – Volkswagen makes history again</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An outstanding result, passionate celebrations and great emotion. World Championship titles successfully defended after just three quarters of the season – overall victory in the Drivers’, Co-Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ competitions mean Volkswagen has again made rallying history, and the team’s achievements were celebrated in style in Australia. No other manufacturer had ever managed to wrap up all three World Championships at the pinnacle of rallying so early in the season. The Volkswagen drivers have won nine of the ten rallies so far this season. Either Sébastien Ogier or Jari-Matti Latvala, who line-up together for Volkswagen in the Manufacturers’ Championship, were victorious at the rallies in Monte Carlo, Sweden, Mexico, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Finland, Germany and Australia. Over the course of the ten rallies, the Polo R WRC has claimed a total of 19 podium finishes, thanks also to the efforts of Andreas Mikkelsen.</div>

<b>Three title trebles: Volkswagen’s motorsport fairy tale continues</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next chapter in a motorsport fairy tale: for the third time in a row, all three titles in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) go to Wolfsburg. As such, the Polo R WRC remains undefeated. When Volkswagen’s World Rally Car made its debut in 2013, it surprised many by winning the title in the Drivers’, Co-Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ Championships at the first attempt. In 2014, Ogier, Ingrassia and Volkswagen backed up this triumph by successfully defending their titles. The second generation of the Polo R WRC has now continued the success story in 2015. Before Volkswagen, only four manufacturers had managed to win the Manufacturers’ Championship three times in a row: Lancia, Subaru, Peugeot and Volkswagen’s current rival Citroën.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Real thriller: the Rally Australia and ‘Volkswagen Sunday’</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia went into the final 68.76 kilometres of the Rally Australia just two car lengths ahead of Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle (GB/IRL, Citroën), who were second overnight. Over the course of the final day’s five special stages, they extended this lead to 32.6 seconds. Their Volkswagen team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila started Sunday 2.6 seconds off the lead, and eventually came home 12.3 seconds behind Ogier/Ingrassia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mikkelsen/Fløene ultimately went unrewarded for their impressive fightback. Like team-mates Latvala/Anttila, they kept Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle out of the podium places on all of the final day’s stages, but eventually had to settle for fourth place overall. A late arrival at a time check earned the Norwegians a ten-second penalty. In the end, they came up just 5.9 seconds short of their seventh podium of the season, finishing behind Meeke/Nagle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>86 per cent win rate – Polo R WRC the most successful car in WRC history</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
31 wins from 36 rallies – with a win rate of 86 per cent, the Volkswagen Polo is by far the most successful model of car in the history of the World Rally Championship, ranking ahead of such legendary cars as the Lancia Stratos and Delta, Audi quattro, Ford Focus, Peugeot 206 and the Subaru Impreza. Volkswagen also reached more milestones with the Polo R WRC: since January 2013, 467 of a possible 668 stage wins have gone to the 318-hp four-wheel drive powerhouse. In 2013 and 2014, the Polo won twelve rallies in a row across the two seasons to set a WRC record for the longest winning run in the history of the series. The twelve victories in 2014 also saw Volkswagen set the benchmark for the number of race wins in one season – a record that only Volkswagen itself can equal in 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>“Wedding Bells” the icing on the cake – Power Stage points for Ogier, Latvala and Mikkelsen</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bonus points are awarded for the first three places in the closing Power Stage – and every one of these additional points went to the Volkswagen drivers and co-drivers. Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia clocked the fastest time, ahead of team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene. This marked the 61st, 62nd and 63rd time in 30 Power Stages that Volkswagen had picked up points.</div>

<b>Quotes after day three of the Rally Australia</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sébastien Ogier, Volkswagen Polo R WRC #1</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is a fantastic feeling to be world champion again! I am overjoyed. The first World Championship title will obviously always be rather special, but the emotions are always overwhelming every time. It was an incredibly intense battle here in Australia. Because the gap to Kris and Jari-Matti was so small all weekend, I had no time at all to even think about the title. Even this morning I only had one approach: flat-out. I am now just really happy that Julien and I have won our third title with a victory. It will probably take a while for what we have achieved together with our fantastic team over the past three years to really sink in. The fact that we also won the Manufacturers’ title with the Volkswagen team is obviously the icing on the cake.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jari-Matti Latvala, Volkswagen Polo R WRC #2</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Winning all three titles here make this a fantastic day for the Volkswagen team. I am really happy to have done my bit towards this great success. I tried everything again today and kept on pushing right to the final stage, even with a cracked windscreen. Unfortunately we came up just short and I will have to settle for second place today. On the other hand, I have extended my advantage over third place in the overall standings. Congratulations to my team-mate Sébastien Ogier. He deservedly won the rally and is also a deserved world champion.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andreas Mikkelsen, Volkswagen Polo R WRC #9</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I am totally happy with our performance and had a really good rally. We did our very best right from the word go – in the end we had to ‘settle’ for fourth place. Based on the actual driving alone, we could even have finished third, as we more than made up the 8.8 seconds we trailed Kris Meeke by coming into the final 70 kilometres or so. However, we were handed a ten-second penalty for checking in too late ahead of the midday service on Sunday. That was too much for us to make up, although we had a really good attempt. It is a shame that we ultimately missed out on our seventh podium of the season by just 5.9 seconds – but we have strengthened our grip on third place in the World Championship. Looking back, I am generally happy with the Rally Australia and am looking forward to the remaining rallies in France, Spain and Great Britain.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jost Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport Director</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What a fantastic rally. What a dream result. And what a great achievement to have wrapped up all three titles so early in the season. The Volkswagen team excelled itself today. Our drivers and co-drivers had to pull out all the stops in order to finish on the podium here in Australia. Like the team behind them, they did a flawless job. You cannot be more proud of the entire team than I am today. It is always more difficult to defend a title than it is to win it for the first time. Defending it for a second time is an even greater challenge. The fact that our mechanics, engineers, drivers, co-drivers, physios and doctors, chefs and organisers have once again achieved superlative results and secured the WRC titles earlier in the season than ever before shows just what an extraordinary team we have. Everyone, without exception, is extremely motivated, and nobody ever takes success for granted. However, we certainly know how to celebrate – as we will prove today.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And then there was ...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
... a generous, friendly, affectionate, sporting, and definitely overwhelming gesture. To celebrate winning the World Championship titles, Volkswagen had prepared large congratulatory banners for success in the Manufacturers’, Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ competitions. However, they did not reckon on winning all three titles in one go. As such, there was scarcely enough space to hang up all of the banners. Malcolm Wilson and his M-Sport-Ford team generously offered to help out by allowing Volkswagen to use the freight container positioned opposite the Volkswagen service area. As such, the 40-foot container was not adorned in Ford colours for the final service at the Rally Australia, but in the colours of the French flag to celebrate Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia’s victories in the Drivers’ and Co-Drivers’ Championships. Merci!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And then there was also ...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
... an early departure for the newly-crowned world champions. Immediately after the press conference at the Rally Australia, Sébastien Ogier, Julien Ingrassia and Motorsport Director Jost Capito set off on a long journey to Frankfurt am Main. Once there, they will attend the Volkswagen Group Meeting, which takes place ahead of the International Motor Show (IAA). Fresh from successfully defending their World Championship titles, the trio will be among the star guests at the event, where the Polo R WRC will also make an appearance. They left Coffs Harbour for Sydney at 18:00, from where they will fly to Frankfurt via Dubai, arriving just in time for the dress rehearsal and gala. However, nothing will stand in the way of the three world champions celebrating their achievements appropriately. The long-distance plane has its own cocktail bar...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And, last but not least, there was also ...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
... a light-hearted wink. When the Volkswagen team took to the podium to celebrate its Manufacturers’ title, it did so not only adorned in blue World Champion t-shirts, but also, rather appropriately, sporting white Smurf hats. The eye-catching attire was also a reference to the colourful Volkswagen team apparel provided by partner Salomon, which has earned great plaudits from all sides since the start of the year.</div>

<i>BRABUS Mercedes C 63S</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A rated power output of 441 kW / 600 HP (591 bhp). A peak torque of 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). A sprint time of 3.8 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph). A top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). Plus exclusive sporty options from aerodynamic enhancement and wheels to the suspension and the interior presents an extensive tuning program for the new Mercedes C 63S in a world premiere at the 2015 IAA in Frankfurt am Main.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sedan or wagon: BRABUS PowerXtra B40 – 600 engine tuning makes the new Mercedes C 63S even more a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The BRABUS engineers used state-of-the-art test rig technology and extensive test drives on racetracks and public roads to develop a performance kit that boosts the power output of the turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 by 66 kW / 90 HP (88 bhp).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BRABUS adapts a plug-and-play auxiliary control module to the electronic engine management system. It updates the engine controls with new mapping for injection and ignition while increasing the boost pressure. As a result, rated power output jumps from standard 375 kW / 510 HP to 441 kW / 600 HP (503 to 591 bhp) at a low 5,800 rpm. At the same time, peak torque grows from 700 to 800 Nm (516 to 591 lb-ft), available on a plateau between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. BRABUS recommends high-performance motor oil from technology partner MOTUL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In concert with the seven-speed sports transmission, a C 63S sedan with BRABUS PowerXtra B40 – 600 performance tuning launches from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds. The slightly heavier wagon takes just a tenth of a second longer for the same exercise. The top speed of both body styles jumps from 250 to 300 km/h (155 to 186 mph).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The strong suites of the BRABUS sport exhaust system for the Mercedes C 63S are its sound and its performance. The all-stainless exhaust reduces backpressure and features controlled butterfly valves for an electronically controlled sound management. A switch in the cockpit lets drivers choose between a subtle “coming home” mode and the open position of the butterfly valves for a markedly powerful exhaust note of the twin-turbo V8.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reducing aerodynamic lift is of tremendous importance for a car as fast as this. For this reason, the BRABUS designers went into the wind tunnel to develop equally efficient and visually stunning bodywork components manufactured from clear-coated carbon with a matte or shiny surface seal. The air outlets in the front fenders add even more emphasis to the sporty-elegant appearance of the C 63S.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, the production front bumper of the sedan and the wagon can be upgraded with a BRABUS spoiler lip. Carbon surrounds for the side air intakes give the top-of-the-line C-Class model even more athletic looks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A diffuser and a rear spoiler can make the rear of the sedan even more aerodynamically effective. Clear-coated carbon covers for the exterior mirrors represent another sporty feature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new 20-inch king-sized BRABUS Monoblock T wheels play a crucial role in the car’s athletic appearance and further enhanced driving dynamics. The five-spoke wheels with carbon inlays on each spoke are mounted on the top-of-the-line model of the current C-Class in size 8.5Jx20 on the front axle and in size 9.5Jx20 at the rear. They are shod with Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA high-performance tires of sizes 255/30 ZR 20 at the front and up to 275/30 ZR 20 on the rear axle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, exclusive interior refinement is also available for all Mercedes C 63 models. The product lineup ranges from stainless-steel scuff plates with color-changing backlit BRABUS logo and ergonomic aluminum paddle shifters to a speedometer with 340-km/h scale (211 mph). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The company upholstery shop creates BRABUS fine leather luxury interiors tailored to individual customer preferences from a combination of especially soft yet durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara. BRABUS offers wood and carbon trim sets in any desired color and with a variety of surface finishes to complement the leather appointments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BRABUS fine leather interior of the show car at the IAA 2015 is made from all-black leather with mandarin-colored seams. Appropriately, all chrome body parts are painted in the same black color as the vehicle.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The general fitness trend is great: In any case, it clearly demonstrates that it does not take a professional athlete to achieve impressive performances. ABT Sportsline has achieved enormous training success with the standard Audi A6 ‒ since not all cars are destined to be an S6 or RS6: “A 2.0 or 3.0 TDI or even 3.0 TFSI are wholly sufficient to achieve race-car performances,” explained CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt. “At least if one invests in ABT Power New Generation.“</span></div>

The separate ABT control unit, which includes independently developed software, can extract 215 HP/158 kW and 440 Nm from the four-cylinder Audi A6 TDI with 190 HP/140 kW and 400 Nm. The standard 320 HP/235 kW and 326 HP/240 kW 3.0 TDI are at the other end of the Diesel spectrum. Both can reach 365 HP/268 kW and 710 Nm (series 650 Nm respectively), thanks to ABT. Audi fans with petrol in their veins also do not have to despair: The standard 3.0 TFSI with 333 HP/245 kW is pushed to 410 HP/301 kW with a torque increase from 440 Nm to 520 with the new ABT Power New Generation. The official four-litre S6 does not have much more to offer. “We not only add muscle to the game, but also increase general agility,” added Abt.</div>

The electronic suspension lowering system ABT Level-Control is part of the assortment for vehicles with air suspension; “steely” drivers receive height adjustable suspensions springs upon request. The optional ABT sport brake system with 8-piston fixed callipers is available for drivers who really work the break as they enter curves.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
ABT Sportsline is also introducing a comprehensive optics package for the Audi A6: The styling assortment begins with aggressive fender inserts and mirror covers in high-gloss visible carbon and continues with two different rear spoilers for vehicles with the S-line package and the emblem set “Black Chrome”. But we saved the best for last: the ABT Sportsline rear skirt set including quadruple rear muffler and 89 millimetre pipe diameter. ABT mechanics installed 9x21 inch light-alloy wheels type DR on the photo vehicle. Are you looking for an alternative? Light-alloy wheels ER-C or FR from 19 inches are a good choice.</div>

The dynamic exterior styling of the Civic Tourer Active Life Concept reflects the sporty and active lifestyle of the customer; featuring a custom blue paint finish with a lower gun metallic gradation and a silver roofline which help accentuate the Civic Tourer’s sleek styling and aerodynamic design. New 18-inch alloy wheels and a custom design rear bumper further highlight the Civic Tourer’s sporty characteristics.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The interior also features a customised theme; blue stitching can be found on the steering wheel and on the gear shift, along with a sporty black roof lining, which is also found on the Civic Sport and Civic Type R.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The front seats combine both suede and leather and feature a carbon tape with blue piping that runs along the centre and along the upper outer areas of the seat, continuing into the suede door lining.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, space doesn’t have to come at the cost of efficiency, and to demonstrate that belief, and proving in emphatic terms the efficiency of the new i-DTEC engines from Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology series, the Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC recently set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for fuel efficiency. The 25-day ‘real-world’ challenge in June saw the car average 2.82 litres per 100km (100.31mpg) in a 13,498km (8,387 mile) drive across 24 contiguous EU countries.</div>
