The German craftsman raises the tone by transplanting V10 of the BMW M5 under the hood of a coupé to lines always retro. Opinion of storm!

If the line of the MF5 returns you some years behind, its bottoms are completely modern. Faithful to the builder BMW, the small German builderimplants V10 5 liters of the pair M5 and M6. But this time, its 507 hp are only 1.380 kg to be pulled. As a result, the performances of this long coupé of 4,30 m smell the sulfur with one 0 in 100 kph in sharp 3,9 and 310 kph. Propped up well in captivating tubs installed level with the ground, the “pilot” should feel ultra-sports sensations of driving in the steering wheel of this high-powered propulsion. The most virulent of Wiesmann keep a line charmingly retro, even if this version has outside signs of speed more marked than his younger sisters.

A city-dweller of its time
Presented during the last Show of Geneva, the concept ” Black Mouth ” or rather Bocanegra, had everything of the prophet announcing the arrival of the new generation of Seat Ibiza. And it was not necessary for a long time so that the fate comes true …

A model hinge

As usual, Seat offers the superiority of its models to the public Iberian. And this year, it is Ibiza which meets itself under the lights of projectors. Ibiza which closes a cycle at the manufacturer of Martorell. That begun with the truth - forgery monospace Altea, and be pursued with Leòn and Toledo.   Models rather dynamic which carried Walter de’ Silva’s stylistic claw, conscript since in the other responsibilities within the group VW. If it immortalizes a certain continuity, by exchanging the too flat lines of the 3rd generation for a welcome nervousness, stigmatized by the famous and almost caricatural ” dynamic line ” extending during sides up to back wheels, new Ibiza also marks the beginning of a new age.

Follow the arrow!

It is indeed about the first Seat thought by the new strong man of the design Seat: … Belgian Luc Donckerwolke. It is especially in front that the renegade of Lamborghini affixed his leg, with a new facial said signature “Arrow Design” because of his radiator grill in the form of point of arrow.   More conventional, the back is clearly inspired by Leòn, whereas the set, notably of ¾ defer, is not without evoking a certain … Hyundai i30! As his main competitors were brought out before her, new Ibiza also distinguishes himself from his predecessor by sharply increased dimensions. Better, with 4,05 m (+ 8 cms), the Iberian becomes even general-purpose the longest of moment.

More modern…

This growth benefits logically the internal development, from the point of view of the back habitability (even if the footing progresses only of 7 mm), but especially of the capacity of load, announced in 292 liters (+ 25 l). Inside, the trans-générationnel ditch is also obvious. Better finished, the new console of edge borrows of sportsmanship to envy seems not to have nothing certain models of the superior segment.  A feeling to be confirmed of display device. But the deepest evolution remains invisible in the eye: Ibiza indeed inaugurates a quite new platform (that of future VW polo), announced stiffer without sacrificing the comfort for all that. To the program also, a whole drum kit of electronic railings (ESP, EBD, EBA).

The ecology for crédo
But following the example of certain models ( Mazda2), these improvements do not prevent Ibiza from losing weight, 25 kg to be precise. A bigger and lighter car thus, but also less polluting. As long to save the planet that the purse. To do it, Seat opts for a fashionable technique: that of the mechanical status-quo.  3 Diesel held for the launch (1.4 TDI 80 hp, 1.9 TDI of 90 and 105 hp) throw back less than 120 g / km CO2, whereas 3 gasoline (1.2 70 hp, 1.4 85 hp and 1.6 105 hp) do not exceed 160 g / km. For the sportsmanship and a (possible) surcharge, it will thus be necessary to wait for the sports FR and Cupra versions. Ultimate detail, if this Ibiza 5 doors advocates the versatility in spite of its aggressive lines, the version 3 doors to come should rather privilege the sportsmanship.

Pioneer transformed Mini one Cabriolet in sound system pick-up for shows and necessarily noisy demonstrations.

The transformation in pick-up was realized to measure to place all the musical things of Pioneer. Queen of the bang bang bang and the tatataradada, this Mini arranges a kit body MS design and of wheel rims 18 putting shoes thumbs Parotech Yokohama Paraded 215×40. Rule of the art of the tuning, the suspensions are lowered. It shows a chocolate-brown body and a white checkmate.   Furthermore, for the showing on beaches, it concerns a board of surfing the roof. In the cockpit, the central console and the inner doors were adapted to integrate amplis, surrounding speakers and equipments of control of the sound system and the multimedia. We find also seats Recaro Sporsters as well as steering wheel and knob Isotta there.

Question sound and light, Pioneer installed a DVD reader with equalizer, compact amplis and, in the truck, the subwoofers three of 30 cms. We can even connect its i-Pod Nano on the system. An equipment appealing to components ODR (Optical Digital Reference).
