Porsche 918 Spyder
Some slightly less informed people might think that “hybrid” means slow or sluggish - well, think on because the latest arrival from the Porsche camp is the 918 Spyder with a 0-62mph time of just 2.8 seconds. It reaches 124mph in 7.7 seconds and then 186mph in 22 seconds. T at’s no slouch then!
Powered by a 4.6-litre engine, the 918 Spyder will be a very special edition limited to just 918 units. Porsche is currently taking orders for the car which is built to
order and has a price-tag of more than £700k And there is already a waiting list.
Jaguar C-X17 Jaguar is renowned the world over for its super sleek designs and sports car
prowess, but the company has big plans for the future and has shown off a very striking sports crossover model as a hint at what’s to come. With a new intelligent aluminium architecture platform which is very
fl exible and opens up the opportunities to really expand the range, Jaguar unveiled its C-X17 concept car. Boasting a rugged, sporting stance along with traditional Jaguar traits such as a stretched bonnet, trademark grille, instantly recognisable lights and sporting DNA the model is a real head-turner. T e interior of this four-seater features state-of-the-art technology and although the C-X17 may some time off , Jaguar intends to use its new platform to produce a sports sedan by 2015. Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, said: “T e C-X17 demonstrates the true breadth of potential of this new intelligent architecture.”
Ferrari 458 Speciale T e new 458 Speciale joins an exclusive 458 club alongside the 458 Italia and 458
Spider. And like its siblings it has a specifi c kind of owner in mind - one that desires a sports car that delivers extreme driving emotion.
Boasting amazing aerodynamics and a racing-inspired cockpit, the Speciale is a beautiful blend of craftsmanship and sophistication, but above all, power and driving dynamism. For this car bursts to 62mph in just 3.0 seconds and to 124mph in 9.1 seconds.
And if anyone should somehow miss the car as it whizzes by, there’s no mistaking the intensity of the soundtrack blasting from the tailpipes.
Land Rover Range Rover Hybrid
Following on from the success of the recently launched all-new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, Land Rover has just off ered an insight into its greener side in the shape of the world’s fi rst premium diesel SUV hybrid. T e order books are already open for the £98.5k model which boasts all the off -roading capabilities of its sibling Range Rovers, but with increased fuel economy and lower carbon emissions. To prove its strength and endurance, a
convoy of the Range Rover Hybrids is taking on the Silk Trail - a 16,000km expedition visiting 12 countries from the UK to India.
...So the Frankfurt Motor Show may be over for this year, but its success story speaks for itself with 1,098 exhibitors from 35 countries and 159 world premieres...
