Porsche Gets First Hybrid

Porsche

Porsche is changing. In 2002 the ultimate sports car company released the ultimate performance SUV, the Cayenne. Later this year Porsche will release its first-ever four-door sedan. And in late 2010 Porsche will offer its first hybrid powertrain.

A desire to be socially responsible and a need to offer vehicles that could benefit from European tax incentives led Porsche to investigate developing a hybrid. Company management drove the competition to see if a hybrid system would fit with Porsche’s fun-to-drive character. They decided that hybrid driving does have a unique fun factor.

Daihatsu Motor Co. Skip Shanghai Motor Show

Daihatsu Motor Co

Daihatsu Motor Co. has decided not to participate in this year's Shanghai International Motor Show, which will be held next month.

In addition to its slow entry into the Chinese market, the firm's growing emphasis on costs versus benefits contributed to the decision. It participated in the 2007 event, but has sold only 500 units a month of its Xenia subcompact, which was released in China that year.

The Shanghai Motor Show is held every other year. The 2009 edition will run from April 22-28, with the exhibit area expanded 20 per cent from the 2007 show.

Hyundai ix-onic

Here's the new Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai ix-onic

The sensational all-new Hyundai ix-onic concept car, made its world premiere at the 79th Geneva Motor Show, introducing a whole new look for a compact four-wheel-drive SUV.

According to Hyundai Europe’s head of design, Thomas Buerkle, the ix-onic is a 90 per cent match for the finished Tucson replacement, which, as we reported last month, will be called the ‘ix35’.

Powered by the new 1.6 liter GDi turbocharged 4 cylinder petrol engine that is capable of 170HP, this gorgeous looking concept previews the upcoming Tuscon crossover. Measuring 4,400 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width and 1,650 mm in height, the ix-onic features a front fascia with a hexagonal grille which was inspired by the 2006 Genus concept car and the 2008 i-mode concept car as well as head lights with daytime LED running lights, with more LED lights on the side mirrors.
