BMW X1

After the success of the 1 Series, the German carmaker BMW has revealed the new X1. Not really a SUV but not a regular car either, the BMW X1 is the perfect example of what a cross-over is.

The BMW X1 will be available in five different versions. Starting from £22,660, the most expensive will reach £29,055, all in Diesel. The CO2 emissions vary from 136 to 167 g/km and the fastest BMW X1 can go from 0 to 62mph in just 7.3s.

The interior of the BMW X1 is just what we can expect from the Bavarian brand: quality and luxury. You will feel very comfortable driving this "little" car (little compared to its fellow X3, X5 and X6).

Audi e-tron

Audi e-tron

You are going to say that I'm talking waaaaay to much of electric cars but the facts are there: a lot of makers are running this race. The latest one is Germany's Audi, which revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show this e-tron. As you can see, it is basically a R8 -but fully electric. And yes, it's going really fast.

The figures are quite impressive. The 4 electric engines of the Audi e-tron have 313 hp and the car can go from 0 to 62mph in 4.8s. The top speed is limited to 125mph and the autonomy is announced to be of about 156m. The Audi e-tron is clearly a serious rival of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics.

A fast and beautiful electric car: ecology has suddenly become very attractive to me.

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics

BMW is not very famous for its eco-friendly cars. Yet, the German carmaker has revealed a stunning concept prior to the Frankfurt Motor Show, this beautiful Vision EddicientDynamics.

The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept uses a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbodiesel. But as it is an Hybrid, it is associated to two electric motors which are located in both front and rear axles. The car reached 351 bhp. It's a "little" more than the Prius.

Even if the Vision EfficientDynamics is only a concept, BMW stated that the future models of the make will use the innovative technology developped on this concept. If the design is equally appealing, I'm really looking forward the next things!

Mini Coupe Concept

Mini Coupe Concept

The Frankfurt Motor Show is definitely going to be THE place to be. Among the exciting upcoming models we can add this gorgeous Mini Coupe Concept. Designed for the 50th birthday of the famous British make, the Mini Coupe Concept is really a beautiful car! With its very low, aluminum-made roof, the Coupe has a very good look.

Created as a serious rival to the Audi TT and the Peugeot RCZ, the Mini Coupe Concept has indeed a lot of assets. The face is really from Mini but the rest is original and it is announced as a rather luxury car.

Let's say a word about the engine. The Mini Coupe Concept will enjoy the 208 bhp, 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine from the John Cooper Works hot hatch. It should go quite fast as the aluminum roof makes this car very light.
Very nice.
