Maserati Quattroporte Limousine Found On EBay

Now here's a way to ruin a luxury sport sedan in perfect Italian, transforming it into a limousine and ending the day is always a corner at high speed.

This sorry looking Maserati Quattroporte, a favorite around here at MotorAuthority, had cut into the chassis and a half feet and several limousine body attached. Nothing looks natural about it and to make matters worse, the owner decided to install a Maserati Trident lit inside. At the very least matches the floor bright purple.

Some of its other features include seating for 10, a total of three TV sets, holders and champagne bar and a glass wall between the cab and the driver.

The sad part of history is that the Quattroporte is the Ferrari V-8 engine built seems to be completely intact, even though we're sure the engine is never able to reach its full potential more.

A shame, as the sedan in its original state would be the pride and joy of the fans of most cars.?

Ah, you're wondering, you buy now the price is a staggering $ 105.000.

2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Interior Leaked

Earlier this month we had a detailed overview of the technology coming in the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class, the first automotive new car small family who are on their way to American shores in the future not too distant.

The new B-Class is scheduled to make its official debut in September at the World Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011 before going on sale in Europe before the end of the year, but we can join many of its details today, thanks these leaks pictures of its interior.

An important detail is the lack of a conventional gearbox, which means that developers are probably going to design a car with a steering shaft dual-clutch gearbox. The move means that more of the interior was done in the cabin. Models sold in Europe, however, may offer an alternative to traditional manual transmission gear selector is mounted centrally on the left.

We can also see what appears to be a touchscreen-like iPad positioned on top of the central column of the dashboard. Design three-spoke steering, meanwhile, corresponds to that seen on the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Finally, the air conditioning modules look very retro looks more like the units in the new SLK AMG supercar SLS.

SPIED: 2012 Bentley Continental GTC Speed

The upcoming 2012 Bentley Continental GTC Speed continues its…European tour as the British firm’s engineers have left the Alps and headed down to the Nurburgring racetrack for some high-speed tests.

The refreshed edition of the GTC Speed will incorporate all the styling cues seen on the regular coupe such as the Mulsanne-esque nose and lights, re-sculptured bumpers and body panels, the updated interior plus some model-specific changes.

While Bentley is keeping mum on the mechanical details of its Speed series, we expect the new GT coupe and GTC convertible models to gain some extra oomph through a higher-output version of the turbocharged W12 packing somewhere around 620-horses.

Review: 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG

The CLS is the car that spawned the generation of four- and five-door "coupes" on the road today. The Volkswagen CC, Aston Martin Rapide and even the Hyundai Sonata all owe a debt of gratitude to that four-wheeled elongated arch. But while the 2006 original was little more than a prettified version of the E-Class sedan, the all-new version has come to conquer more than the valet line at the country club.

The cabin has a less aggressive, more elegant appearance. It features the same, supposedly aircraft-inspired imagery that’s also found in the SLS supercar and is trimmed in stitched leather, lots of shiny metal and, in the case of my test vehicle, carbon fiber – the latter for a mere $2,835 extra. It’s such a far cry from the interior of the latest E-Class that you can’t help but think that they sandbagged that one to make the CLS look that much better.

With a bit more space between the wheels than the old CLS, there’s noticeably more legroom for the rear passengers – all two of them – and plenty of space overhead. An analog IWC clock on the dashboard adds a touch of retro class, but the foot-operated parking brake just seems like an anachronism. What’s under the hood is anything but.

All CLS models now come with twin-turbocharged, direct injected V8s. A 402 HP 4.7-liter in the CLS550, and a hand built 518 hp 5.5-liter in the $95,775 CLS63 AMG. The latter replaces the much-loved turbo-free 6.2-liter V8 of the outgoing model in the name of fuel efficiency. It’s a hard act to follow, if only because that one sounded like teen Thor’s garage death metal band.

As it turns out, the voice of the CLS63 still pretty awe inspiring. Turbos are usually too busy pressurizing intake air to remember to make the exhaust sound like anything, but that’s not the case here. Plus, the new powerplant packs 516 lb-ft of planet-spinning torque. Not impressed? A $6,990 performance package increases that to 590 lb-ft and tosses in an extra 32 hp along with a carbon fiber spoiler and engine cover, red brake caliper housings, sport steering wheel, a tighter suspension and a relaxing of the top speed limiter from 155 mph to 186 mph.

Audi Q3 production starts today

After an investment of €330 million in infrastructure and production facilities Audi started today the production of the new little Suv – the Q3.

According to the automaker a new 30,000 m2 (322,917 sq. ft.) body shop with 450 robots was just one of the many new facilities built. The Audi Q3 will help SEAT permanently fill the capacity of the Martorell plant. Around 100,000 Audi Q3 units will leave the three-shift assembly line in Martorell every year.

“The decision to produce the Audi Q3 in Spain signals our intention to continue our dynamic course of growth while also pursing a strategy of internationalization,” says Frank Dreves, AUDI AG Board Member for Production.
