It’s no secret that BMW is getting ready to adopt a front-wheel drive layout for its smaller models including certain versions of the next generation of the 1-Series. BMW’s decision has already sparked a lot of discussions whether its front-wheel drive products will remain true to the brand’s “ultimate driving machine” motto or an insult to the company’s heritage.

Now it seems that the day we will see the first front-wheel drive BMW is closer than we thought. According to Autocar magazine, the 1-Series GT, which is said to be a more practical version featuring a high-rising tail like the 5-Series GT, will be the first BMW to adopt front-wheel drive. Its launch is scheduled for 2014.

2012 Bentley Continental GT Speed Specs

2013 Bentley Continental GT is a luxury car that is very admirable. Besides having a luxurious and elegant design, 2013 Bentley Continental GT bentley also has speed and power are great, so the 2013 Bentley Continental GT is a car which is very comprehensive and supported by sophisticated technology that is embedded therein. Only two places on the outside, pinching tailpipes and more in the front, three lower-fascia give the identity of this car as fast Conti next. We hope this is true production model, too, as the first-gen speed are equally indistinguishable from the basic model. The previous speed also displays upsized, thin-spoke wheels (the owners are often swapped out for aftermarket pieces), so do not expect to see five-spoke 20-inchers, the wheels based on the standard Bentley Continental GT, have to footwear production. Also worth noting is that this prototype air suspension settings seem to boost the Moab; the last-gen speed up about half an inch lower in their default settings from non-speed of their colleagues, and we expect these properties to bring to an end.

Bentley Continental GT Speed Engine Performance

And it appears that under the sheetmetal is where the big difference will be found. While Bentley will not tell us much about the speed powertrain front, the previous model adds about nine percent more power and torque 15 percent more than the twin-turbocharged W-12 base trim. If the same math applied to high-output 2012 Bentley Continental GT is the W-12, with a 567 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, speed will pack around 621 hp and 590 pounds-ft of torque, which coincidentally, is the same output as the 2010 – 2011 Continental Supersports (car still in production). Go figure. Also worth noting is that the basis of Bentley Continental GT shed some 143 pounds for 2012, and we look forward speed to maintain that weight loss, if not devote even more. As in all Continental models, the power will be routed through the system of all-wheel-drive.

Bentley Continental GT Pricing

How could all this translate into real-world performance? Well, because we are able to reach 60 mph in four seconds flat in the previousBentley Continental GT Speed ​​coupe, we may be able to cut the next time than a tenth or two around. Terminal velocity can jump by a few ticks above the 202-mph top end of the latter. Also expect about 10 percent rise in prices in 2012 Bentley Continental GT Speed ​​$ 192,495 while running at a sale next year as a 2013 model. At that time, we hope to see the prototype of the upcoming Speed-spec Bentley Continental convertible and that has not seen, next-gen Continental Flying Spur sedan.

Toyota FJ Cruiser (2011)

It’s rare that any vehicle triggers a confused response from the average kiwi but the Toyota FJ Cruiser is one machine that can. With retro-inspired styling and unconventional angles the FJ Cruiser body has a brave disregard for low-key Kiwi tastes. Many Kiwi’s find themselves torn between loving it or loathing it. The Toyota badge draws us in, instantly recognising the FJ as a vehicle that must be reliable and practical like our much-loved Corolla or Hilux. But on closer inspection this Toyota seems different, it appears strangely familiar but clearly favours form over function, it’s bulky and flashy and we just don’t know. Toyota has certainly thrown the NZ market a curveball with its FJ Cruiser. In an attempt to avoid mass confusion, Car and SUV had some seat time in this distinctive off roader and brought back the results.

New Zealand is late in receiving the FJ Cruiser with it first released in the States back in 2006. It began life as a design concept paying homage to the original FJ40 Land Cruisers of the 1960s but its popularity led to full production. Built with the U.S market firmly in mind the FJ comes to us in one specification but with nine body colours on offer but the roof must be white.

Exterior design is the hot topic with the FJ and that’s because it’s bold and a touch brazen. The retro styling cues are most evident up front with a wide bonnet scoop, close-set circular headlights and rectangular mesh grille. The front indicators push wide of the guards and the windscreen is almost vertical like its go-anywhere ancestor. At the rear, wrap around glass continues the retro theme and the white roof caps it all off. More modern touches are found in the FJ’s bulky bumpers and toughened plastic guards, wide pillars and 17-inch alloy wheels with tall 265/70 rubber. There are also reverse-hinged suicide doors that help access to the rear seat while keeping the more traditional 2-door appearance. There’s no doubt the FJ styling polarizes opinion but it’s fun, it stands out, it’s almost overwhelmingly purposeful and it’s a refreshingly brave design for Toyota.

2012 Lexus LFA on ebay

If you have an issue with the fact that Lexus is going to make you lease an LFA instead of letting you outright buy the vehicle, we've got good news for you. Sort of. Herb Chambers Lexus in Sharon, MA is selling one of the carbon-fiber supercars for some very wealthy, very lucky individual to have and to hold as their own.

What's the hitch? Unsurprisingly, there are a couple of them. We spoke with the dealer, and according to them, before the title changes hands, the new owner will need to sign a first right of refusal contract with Lexus. If the buyer takes the car home and decides to sell it in the first two years, the automaker gets dibs on buying the car back. (Before you cry foul, note that Ferrari has made similar stipulations in hopes of keeping flipping and price gouging on its hot new models for some time now).
