Mercedes Benz Classe E restylée 2013
Depuis des mois elle nous balade avec des adhésifs noirs, plus ou moins présents, des faux logos et tous les accessoires qui vont bien afin de nous masquer sa nouvelle apparence 2013.
C’est à l’avant que ce situe le principal changement avec la disparition des deux doubles phares carrés, du pare choc assez massif et robuste au profit de phares monoblocs presque en forme de cacahuète avec leds diurnes intégrées. L’ensemble optique se veut plus moderne et plus en accord avec la calandre redessinée arrondie et agrandie vers le bas et entourée d’un beau gros chrome brillant ou satiné selon les versions et les finitions. Le dessin du pare choc est lui aussi nouveau mais plus tarabiscoté que l’actuel même s’il cherche à se rapprocher de celui de la CLS. L’avant, c’est mon avis, est un peu chargé et torturé ce qui n’est pas un gage de séduction et de succès.
L’habitacle évolue mais de manière moins flagrante puisque ‘au delà
d’une finition annoncée comme encore améliorée, la Classe E 2013
bénéficie du même combiné porte instrument et de la même console
centrale que la CLS. L’ensemble donne un air plus dynamique et moins
austère ou sérieux à la planche de bord toujours très rectiligne. La
Classe E dispose aussi de nouvelles commandes de chauffage, du système
d’infotainment et de radio.

Volkswagen Golf 7
Après la Renault Clio 4, c'est l'autre star du
Mondial de l'Auto qui se met à nu, la Volkswagen Golf 7. Basée sur la
plateforme MQB, la nouvelle Golf affiche quelques changements... mais
pas au niveau du design !
Deux ans avant de fêter son
quarantième anniversaire, la Volkswagen Golf s'offre une nouvelle robe,
la septième de son histoire ! Et c'est à Berlin que la compacte
allemande a décidé de se montrer pour la première fois devant un
parterre de journalistes venus du monde entier. Nous étions de la
partie, avant de la retrouver à la fin du mois de septembre à Paris.

Peugeot's EX1 Concept Breaks the Electric Car Record on the Nurburgring
It's not very often we hear about an electric car taking on the fearsome Nurburgring-Nordschleife track. A concept version of an EV is an even rarer sight on the “Green Hell”, but that's exactly what Peugeot did as it put the EX1 design study at work on the world's toughest circuit.
It wasn't just a pleasure ride, however, since Peugeot visited the ‘Ring to break the lap record for electric cars. And it did, with driver Stéphane Caillet lapping the 20.8-kilometer (12.92-mile) long track in 9 minutes and 1.338 seconds, at an average speed of 138,324 km/h (85.95 mph), in “very unfavorable weather conditions”, according to the French automaker. The previous lap record set by an electric car belonged to the Mini E racer, which lapped the German track last year in 9 minutes and 51.45 seconds.
WIGE Performance, the official timekeeper of the Nordschleife track, tracked Peugeot’s record. Revealed at the Paris motor show last year, the EX1 roadster is powered by a pair of electric motors, one on each axle, thus offering four-wheel drive. Each electric motor produces 125 kW (170HP) for a combined output of 340HP and 240Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque. Energy comes from a high-output lithium-ion battery pack.
The radical-looking concept measures just 0.90 meters in height and 1.77 meters in width and makes use of a monocoque body structure manufactured from a carbon/honeycomb composite to optimize weight and rigidity.
Peugeot has promised to share a video of the EX1 lapping the Nurburgring. Once it’s out, we’ll update this story.
