International Auto Show in Geneva year. Geneva Wind Changes: Trends in the main car dealership in the world. Toyota C-HR: Crossover for Young

During the Geneva Motor Show, we found out three important and curious things: how large auto-concerns plan to do with Russia, which way accents are shifted from model rows of brands and for what principles are already being created by cars on which we have to ride in eight years - ten

Disputes about whether the Internet of the exhibition of cars is needed, continue. Resonant arguments are available both in supporters of large car dealerships and their opponents. I treat myself first.

First of all, I am convinced that no photo or video is able to replace living, direct contact with a new car, when you can sit in it, touch, feel, set up for yourself (namely, the future buyer goes to the exhibition). In addition, only on such forums there is a chance to see everything and immediately - and the existing model line of brands, and new items, and promising concepts, and even compare them immediately with competitors. Finally, only on car dealers from us - journalists - the opportunity to meet with the bosses of autocontracens, gathered from around the world, and ask them (sometimes with an eye on the eyes) about everything that interests. All this fully confirmed the current car dealership in Geneva.

Strategic ... baggage

It is known that if in one place decreases, then in another comes. So in the automotive world, while in the Russian market, the crisis and demand for cars falls, in other parts of the planet, he, on the contrary, is growing. So, it is time to think about whether the car manufacturers do not disappear to our country, whether they will not be considered Russians with the second grade clients who can offer products easier, which may endlessly wait for new items, and not to receive them at all? What sin to hone, such calls are already there: different brands refuse exhibitions in Russia, they move their model ranks, reduce quotas for Russian dealers, and sometimes they leave the market in general. So questions about when, from whom and what else to wait for, alas, not rhetorical, and we asked them to be the most different people.

I will say right away, in general, the mood is still positive. Yes, there are interlocutors, in your country now is not the best time to work - currency rates grow, real incomes of buyers are reduced, there are political risks and something far ahead can not be forwarded, but at the same time Russia, as it remained, remains key market, And in the future we wait for it to rise. Although any specific speech is most often not coming, mostly top managers of firms try to speak Cocheca.

Perhaps only Philip Sayar, who has recently headed by the Russian business Nissan, and now became the vice-president of this brand in Eastern Europe, is ready to call numbers. He believes that already in 2020, sales of new cars in our country should reach at least 2.5 million, and maybe even 3 million, after which Russia will again claim the title of the largest continent market. "Therefore," says Mr. Sajar, "our task is today - to stand out, even if we lose some kind of money, but wait for demand growth. We have invested a lot of money in our production in St. Petersburg, Izhevsk and Togliatti and do not intend to throw it all. Conclusion Unambiguous: Russian market for Nissan priority. "

Direct speech

Arthur Martins, Vice President of Marketing Kia Motors Europe

In 2015, the KIA sales dynamics in Europe practically coincided with the average market: unless the demand for new cars increased by 8.9% on the continent, then our sales increased by 8.8% - we have implemented 385 thousand cars. Moreover, our brand demonstrates growth for seven years in a row, for Europe is a unique case. In addition, we have the highest indicator for attracting customers who previously bought cars of other brands. This is achieved due to the fact that in a short period of time, the quality of the KIA product has radically changed, and its perception by consumers. This is your explanations. Bright, original design, we have achieved thanks to Peter Schrayer, who several years leads this direction. And if we talk about quality, then in our company a truly unique management structure at the global level. The head that responds to Hyundai-Kia for quality is subject to directly to the President of the Group of Companies - he is at the same level with the heads of both brands and does not depend on them. Therefore, it can simply block the launch of the new product, if it considers that it does not suit anything in the quality component.

Perhaps a whole network of factories, where almost the whole range of Japanese brand cars are produced, now sold in the country, the argument and in fact serious, such a "luggage" with the war just do not throw out. But what do you think that companies like losing and nothing? First of all, premium brands, whose business in other corners of the world is already developing perfectly.

As it turned out, they have a similar position in Russia. So, Finbar McFall, director of product Jaguar Land Rover in the world, says that last year the global sales of these brands rose by 5%, and in January 2016, and at all jumped on a record 24%. It is best to go to the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Italy ... As the interlocutor believes, all this thanks to a balanced model range, which is updated annually and expands. So, during 2015, Jaguar XE and XF were displayed, and now Jaguar F-Pace and Range Rover Evoque in the body of a convertible are preparing to launch.

I ask whether these two new items will appear on the Russian market. "Of course, Mr. Makfoll immediately replies," and very soon, in the summer. " After that, with confidence, continues: "Despite the current difficulties, we consider Russia as one of the most important markets that have strategic importance. Therefore, we are constantly expanding your product line in your country, we bring new models. We understand, if you go now, it will be extremely difficult to return. And this point of view is confirmed by our investment. In particular, by last fall near Moscow, we opened the unique brand center Jaguar Land Rover Experience, through which more than 6 thousand people have passed, such experience for the company is extremely important. We intend to invest in your country further. "

Well, such an approach causes respect. I think it will be appreciated as customers of two British brands, and everyone who is somehow connected with the car market.

Believe the future

The Geneva Motor Show is famous for the fact that there are always many concept cars in his walls. In this Swiss exhibition, manufacturers love to throw "trial balls" - to show cars, which subsequently either go into the series, either share with other models of one or another, and may have a wonder in the summer, if they do not find an understanding of the public. But what is the inner "kitchen" of this process? How and why is another concept be born? What are the company seek when they are decided to spend money? In such matters, we also understood with the help of specialists.

The first thing every person sees is the appearance of the car. This aspect to discuss with us agreed the head of the design of the Concept-Karov concept of Mazuda Motor Corporation Yasushi Nakamut. "Alas," he divides, "there are no templates, with which you could form trends for the future. And therefore, each designer must understand that it is he who is the author of new trends. Here we work in two directions. The first is the story, we look at what an important thing happened in the past, seriously influenced the fashion, technology, tastes, analyze the causes and effects. The second is the study of modern technologies, materials that can affect promising development. The concept of "Beauty Concept" implies that there is something beautiful, but the achievement of this beauty every time is different - new technologies appear, new opportunities. For example, once in the headlights were simple incandescent lamps, then they made xenon, now - LEDs, and in the future something else will appear. Another important modern factor is the Internet. We live in a digital era, and it is very affected even on the style. So the design of cars is a kind of alloy of art, technologies and, of course, business. "

Direct speech

Yasushi Nadamut, Head of Design Division Mazda Motor Corporation

In recent years, the process of creating new cars in Mazda has changed a lot. If earlier engineers presented a set of requirements, which designers had to adapt, now first the designers come up with projects, and then put in constructors and engineers. In our company, everyone understood how much the design is strongly influenced by the level of consumer interest in the product, which it is in many respects determines the DNA of the brand. So, it is impossible to allow engineers and technologists to unconditionally dictate conditions. But this is not happening everywhere - as far as I know, colleagues from other automotive brands like such victories can not boast. Although we have a lot of disputes and battles. One of the reasons for such a "capture of power" by the Mazda designers is that new models began to get wonderful, and therefore the engineers simply have nothing to oppose us. After all, if the car is beautiful and wish to get customers, then in the company everyone wants to build it and bring it to the market - there is no reason to argue.

As for the tasks in each case, Mr. Nadamut explains this on the example of its own projects. He once led by the creation of the concept car Mazda Ryuga, who considers for himself a "car lesson", and after the concept of Shinari was developed. Each model had its own purpose. In the first case, it's just the desire to show a bright, non-bank design, to fill the path of its development within the brand. The next time you needed to create a show car, as close as possible to the finished product. By the way, an indicative example of such a work is the Mazda CX-3 crossover - the machine that began to go from the conveyor, almost entirely undergoing prototype features.

The fact that in the automotive business about the future should be thought of not even 5-10, and sometimes for 20-25 years ahead, the director of the product on the product Jaguar Land Rover Finbar McFall, at a meeting with which "Autopanorama" became the first in the world Media, learning about one of the unusual proposals for customers of this company (see insert). However, in such rules all participants in world auto industry live.

On your approach to promising developments, Arthur Martins, Vice President of Marketing Kia Motors Europe. "Today we see three main trends," he explains. - The first is that both the design, and the type of body type will be further intertwining the usual segments, new models will appear as if between classes. Our company already has such a definition as CUV, this is a cross between the hatchback and crossover, and the Kia Niro model, which we presented in Geneva, is just a representative of this new "integration". Customers want diversity, and the greater the choice of bodies, motors, gearboxes, complete sets, the better. The second trend that concerns all automakers in Europe is the electrification of machines: the legislation requires already in 2020 to have an average of the exhaust of no more than 95 g / km CO2. Therefore, everything, including KIA, is actively working on the development of hybrids, electric vehicles, models on fuel cells. Finally, the third vector is autopilot, riding without drivers. Our brand plans to launch such a car into a series by 2030, but now we test these technologies in different regions of the world - in Korea, in Europe and in the United States. "

Direct speech

Finbar McFall, Director of Product Jaguar Land Rover in the World

In the auto-industria, manufacturers must think for dozens of years ahead, and there are many aspects. First of all, when we think about new products, we analyze which body we need, what size, at what price. The second is what should be inside the car: what technologies to integrate into the car to which it should be on a "direct connection" with a person that the client can be convenient. We are constantly studying that it is required to our customers already now, and what may be needed in the future. This is how a four-wheel drive appeared on Jaguar models, and the stand-alone ride will be offered, and what we are currently working on. As for the new products, we are preparing to use the development of Tile - a small piece of plastic with an energy efficient Bluetooth transmitter and a miniature battery. Such a "label" can be attached to the phone, to the case for points, on documents, and if you combine it with our InControl system, then the car will be the owner yourself and, say, with your approximation, the headlights will flash. Although there is a practical meaning. For example, the car will be able to inform the owner that he forgot your passport or laptop if they are "covered by" such gadgets. By the way, you are the first journalist in the world to whom we are talking about this project in our cars.

Cocktail ordered?

The diversity and interlacing segments, which Mr. Martins from Kia speaks, in Geneva stands, we could watch the sortie. For example, at once in several models, the engineers tried to cross two such, it would seem that there are no customs, like cabriolences and crossovers. It turned out interesting - here you and the Range Rover Evoque without roof, and the concept of Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze, and the hipster Citroen E-Mehari. Although the roadster and cabriolets and without them were a lot - new models brought Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Fiat ...

At the same time, the exhibition clearly traced the line to meet today's queries of the European clientele, and both traditional, established and appropriate fashion. To the first there is a considerable choice of cars in the body of a wagon, to the second - an even richest assortment of a variety of crossovers and SUV.

Yes, universals, and not those who did not love to the Russians, the inhabitants of other countries of the Old World are still in Favor, and it is not by chance that the Opel Astra Tourer was recognized in the "car of the year" in Geneva. I think, the next time this title will be completely able to fight the Pleiad of the current innovations of the exhibition in the body of the Universal - excellently balanced Kia Optima SW, elegant Volvo V90, practical Fiat Tipo.

Direct speech

Philip Sayar, Nissan Vice President in Eastern Europe

Crossovers and SUV are a trend of time, they choose the modern generation of motorists. At the same time, large, real SUVs leave, and the crossovers are increasingly going to shift. Another important trend is to reduce the share of sedans, which is also explained: my father, most likely, does not acquire a crossover, and my sons are hardly ever bought sedan. And it's not by chance in Europe, and in Russia you can observe a similar picture - in the Nissan gamma the most popular models are Qashqai, X-Trail, Juke. But the TEANA sedan was brought from the Russian market and, I think, no longer refund. I suppose this segment will "eat" premium brands that can simplify the configuration of their business sedans, reduce prices and thereby liabate customers from such mass brands like our. Therefore, we will produce such a car in Russia does not make sense.

However, no segment is not yet able to compete in popularity with crossovers. At the auto show it was not easy to find the booth, where among the prime minister (at least European) there were no representatives of this class. And then the brands well known for their SUV, and the brands that make only the first steps on this field are awkwardly. Judge for yourself, on the one hand, Peugeot 2008, Ford Kuga, Skoda Vision S, Toyota C-HR, SsangYong Tivoli XLV, Subaru XV Concept, Audi Q2, Opel Mokka X, on the other - Mazerati Levante, Tesla Model X, Seat Alteca. And this is not counting the models that have been refined by designers or stylists such brands like Land Rover, Nissan, Lexus, Suzuki, Honda ...

From such an abundance of eyes simply scatter. And I want all these cars to have Russian dealers. The right word, we deserve it.

"WIND OF CHANGE" - Socorpions group sang at the time of the collapse of the USSR, and about it, the wind of change, "sing" the booths of automakers at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show ..

So, Geneva: Main Car Wakes Europe. The Geneva Motor Show always asked the vector of development of the entire automotive industry for the coming years, did not exception and the Salon of 2016. You can read about the main premieres, and we will talk about where the wind blows. After a "diesel-gate", the scandal with Diesel engines Volkswagen, everything became obvious: the days of traditional DVS are considered even in Europe. European manufacturers frankly "slept" to the World Hybridization: they have approved until the latter that for low fuel consumption and small emissions into the atmosphere, a fairly conventional diesel engine, without complication of the design with electric motors. But the last events put in traditional designs, the cross: Spring 2016 showed that the car world moved to a new era. And there is no room in it.


This looks like a layout of the start of the beginning of the twentieth century: the traditional motor in front, the battery is rear. This scheme will last long: as soon as the batteries of a large capacity and acceptable cost will appear, the engine will disappear under the hood. Apparently, forever
Battery and fuel tank. So far, they peacefully get along with each other, but this is a compromise solution. In the near future, the entire space of the floor of the car will occupy the battery

European concerns planned to avoid "hybrid" versions and immediately move to electric vehicles or hydrogen cars. But after the scandal with Diesels Volkswagen, everyone officially declared: with ordinary motors we will say goodbye. And here, the European manufacturers were in the role of catching up: the world leader in the "hybridization" of the model range is Toyota, whose prius since the end of the 90s struggled with TDI, HDI and other European dieselmotors. And in the "Electricians" segment leads Tesla.

Now Toyota has the widest line of serial "hybrids", there are universals, hatchbacks, urban "kids". The enormous financial opportunities of the concern allow to produce some models at a loss: the main thing now rolling out technology and conquer a market share. What happens: European taxi drivers are increasingly transplanted on hybrid Toyota.

The hybrid will be the crossover C-HR - the total 122 hp, beware, Nissan Juke! The design of this model is sad exactly you will not call.

As in the mid-90s, possessing super slows, Toyota is again one step ahead of competitors, while everyone is just beginning to master the hybrids, the Japanese are already selling the Mirai hydrogen car! The hydrogen future of cars is still under a very big question, but the Japanese in this area is one step ahead. And confidently lead in the hybrid segment.


The LF-FC concept is about to become a serial model: the premiere of a large sedan is not far off

A large LEXUS sedan operates the stylistry familiar to the brand "shark", and the appearance of the serial model will not differ much from the prototype.

Apparently, in the segment of large sedans, the Germans will have to be sighted. But not only Japanese manufacturers come out forward in the hybridization of the entire planet: Koreans come on the heels!

Meet Hyundai Ioniq, the world's first car available immediately in three versions: an ordinary hybrid, rechargeable hybrid and completely electric. The buyer can choose which option is closer - although the characteristics of the electric version are not impressive, the stock of the course is only about 170 km.


So it looks like a "gear lever" Hyundai Ioniq: all, the era of levers is gone

Very small "long-range" - the Beach of all "simply" electric vehicles, and so far all the planets will not build stations of quick recharging, hybrid rechargeable versions will rule the world. To work, from work - on electricity, on a long trip - on gasoline. Traditional motors, traditional body types are less and less in demand in developed countries: crossovers, WENNA and hybrid power plants, this is the world trend.

Lacmus paper that talks about the future is Mitsubishi's stand: now it is in hard savings mode, there is not enough money - therefore it was decided to virtually not develop the passenger gamut and ordinary DVS, but to concentrate on SUV and electricity. SUV will allow to keep positions in the markets of developing countries, electric vehicles are intended for developed countries. Concept EX and SUV, and electric - two in one. The promised reserve of the course is about 400 km.


Tomorrow's Cap Tomorrow

In the rechargeable hybrids, absolutely everything was gone: on each stand there was a car or ready for serial production, or a serial model. Porsche, Range Rover, Volkswagen - all the rechargeable hybrids.

Mercedes-Benz? Hybrid rechargeable! It is difficult to call the manufacturer who did not show a novelty in this market segment.

Another world passion is cars without a driver driving. Nissan argues that after a year, his crossovers will "learn" to move independently, without the help of the driver. In fact, all the premium segment cars can almost do it. But in many countries, legislation prohibits the operation of such machines, so the market will first be limited. In California, "drones" are exploited with might and main, and after a few years it is planned to struggle for the taxi market: in the nearest wake, the Uber will be a competitor to taxi drivers, but robots.

Not anywhere and often mentioned "Downsaising": if the model did not have a battery rechargeable from the outlet, then it simply reduced the volume of the motor. This is done for a number of reasons. First, theoretically, fuel consumption and emissions into the atmosphere are reduced. Secondly, "playing" with pressure pressure and motor control program, you can squeeze 3-4 versions of the power from a single engine, without changing it. This is the reduction of construction. Thirdly, less volume is less weight, fewer materials - less production costs. Although the last approval is doubtful: "small" engines require the use of very expensive materials. But other things being equal to the engine unit 1.0 costs cheaper the engine block 2.0.

The debutant Porsche 718 Boxster is a typical representative of the "reduced" motors. 4 cylinders, turbocharging. Did you wait for Porsche?

Another trend, a well-visible at the Geneva Motor Show: Rich now do not cry. They pay: sales of luxury brands grow from year to year. China, India, to certain events of Russia: The increase mainly provide "young" millionaires. Therefore, in the bright future, another premiere, Lamborghini Centenario, do not have to doubt. Demand is there. 770 hp, from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds and a limited series of 40 cars, 20 coupe, 20 convertibles. which we already have, either will not suffer from the lack of demand: there are many money in the world now.

Updated Bentley, elongated versions, "autobiographic" versions: new products in the luxury segment more than enough. Humanity is rapidly coming out of poverty - sorry, this statement does not concern the Customs Union.

The new QUANT model is also aiming in the "Luxury-segment": a lot of small producers appeared on the "premium" wave, ready to bite your piece of this cake.

What is happening in the mass segment? What lives now automobile Europe?

The same as always: Europeans are still like a golf class, which prove the sales figures and the "car of the year" title, presented at the Opel Astra Motor Show.

But crossovers are also at the peak of popularity: around the main novelty Audi, the model Q2, the apple there were no place to fall. His niche: "Premium" analogue of Nissan Juke, and, judging by the first reception, the success of the model is provided. Crossovers, crossovers - by 2016 they have established themselves as body number 1.

Skoda is about to begin production of a large seven-seed crossover Vision S, Seat showed its version of SUV - without SUV is now unthinkable by a gamma of a single producer in the world.

Kia Niro is the world premiere, crossover-hybrid, special hopes The manufacturer places on the European market.

Even Hindus came to the crossovers segment: with their HEXA model, they try their forces in the European market. Although the brand's success believes with difficulty.

Not the most noticeable, but important news - the debut of the joint "Trinity" of large Venne Toyota / Peugeot / Citroen. In the photo Citroen Space Tourer, but all three cars turned out to be treated and harmonious. Given the price, it will be serious competitors Volkswagen series T6.

It is impossible not to notice a gradual drift of European firms to a premium segment: Ford declared the creation of a Lux Brand Vignale, Citroen has long been experimenting with its DS. Who are afraid of? All the same - Asians. Representatives of rice culture, as always, do not hesitate to study competitors on the auto show.

This uncle in the photo took pictures of each seam, every detail of the door BMW X4 - and continued to further explore the interior, making photos and mark into his notepad. Where is he from? China? Korea? Around each premiere of such photographers with notebooks - about five. From year to year they photograph, write down - and ultimately the Asian manufacturers grow.

Simple example: Korean Hyundai. Who knew about this brand just 20 years ago? So, the next company on the backyards of the automotive world.


Individual adjustments of each chair, massage and further on the list: If you do not pay attention to the nameplate, the BMW 7 and Audi A8 have a serious competitor

But a large G90 sedan is nothing worse than similar models from Europe. Therefore, in a less conservative American market, it will definitely be in demand. Koreans are humbered, they are probably the main phobia of the manufacturers of Europe. But the Chinese subsided: there are no them in the cabin, as not and statements will soon conquer the old light. Chinese attack choked. Yes, and Europeans are not flashed.

At the presentation, Renault Scenic was not to push around: the model sign for Europe, Carlos Gon himself came to introduce it.

He is interesting and beautiful - that's what you can say about Renault Scenic.

Renault Scenic has demonstrated another trend on the market: the large tablet has firmly settled in the automotive interiors. Goodbye, the central console is now instead of you a big screen. The tone set Tesla, then all the others are tightened: it seems, we will soon discuss the interior design, but the screen design.

Of the same, "screen" cars, the new Volvo V90 wagon, within which control is almost all functions - through a large screen on the central console.

BMW M2 - aggression and passion in pure form, three liters, double turbocharging, 370 hp and 4.3 s to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h.


Salon Alfa Romeo captures the Spirit: nothing has changed, Mark is still Blood!

Alfa Romeo is also known to bury Europe early: their new Giulia is Divinely beautiful.

Therefore, everything is well in Europe. Hybrids are coming, sales of luxury cars grow, the models are still happy with beauty. Optimism is what Geneva is 2016.

Conversation for the frame

On the dealership, we managed to take a small technical interview with Alena Reozo, an engineer of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Motor lovers will definitely be interesting.

- Renault has many innovative technologies, but, unfortunately, not all of them apply on models for the countries of the former USSR. Why does Renault applies "Downsayzing" motors on models for our countries with this caution?

- No other response, except for economic expediency, no. New engines are more expensive in production, and budget models enjoy the greatest demand in your market. Therefore, every percentage of the cost of the car is very important - hence the gamma of motors, which mainly consists of classical units. Once the economic situation will allow us to apply modern expensive power plants - we will immediately do it.

- How do you assess the resource of modern motors? Did it decreased in comparison with the engines of the 90s of the twentieth century?

- Not. We performed comparative tests: subject to the use of high-quality oils, the resource of the engines is about the same, not less than 300,000 km. I emphasize, not less. Further operation already affect the conditions of operation and other factors. For modern motors, the quality of lubricants and quality of service are very important, I would advise you not to save.

"You know that in our countries, people cut out anticorate filters in diesel engines, and in general do not trust this technology. Why then does the DUSTER model appear an anticoise filter in the 1.5 DCI motor?

- Honestly, I do not understand why remove the antique filter ... After all, this is an ecology, the engine is emitting much more than harmful particles without it. And with the reliability of the antique filter in your conditions there are no problems: we were tested, everything works fine. Honestly, create a 110-strong version of this motor without an anticoise filter is not included in our plans: I repeat, the environmental friendliness of our solutions is very important. But if there is such a request of the market, we will probably be able to come up with something. But for this, the sales of diesel versions should be higher than now.

"Why do the manufacturers constantly declare that the economics of cars improves, although many models have real fuel consumption remains at the same level?

- The fuel consumption of the engines is constantly decreasing, we from the model to the model we reduce it a few percent. But when the power unit is installed on the car, suddenly it turns out that the new generation has become more, heavier. There are many electromotors, additional devices - therefore, indeed, in some cases, real fuel consumption figures remain at the same level. Motor designers only manage to compensate for the losses that happen due to the above factors. But! If we take cars with comparable mass and similar in terms of motors - you will notice that fuel consumption decreased significantly.

- Do not you think that modern motors are too complicated? Turbocharging, antickery filters and urea injection in diesel engines - why no one will say the stop, it's time to stop, I leave DVS at this stage of development, and further develop other technologies?

- I agree with you that the engines have become much more complicated. But you understand, we are clamped in the framework of environmental legislation on the one hand - and are faced with the lack of a developed network of electrical charging stations on the other. Do you understand? The electric motors seem to solve the problem, but buyers will not be massively acquired by cars with a slight stock of the course and the absence of electric gas stations. Therefore, we have what we have. And new environmental norms are still concern for the future of our planet. And this also needs to be taken into account when we are talking about in DVS.

The Geneva Motor Show in 2016 was pleased with the novelties of the true connoisseurs of beautiful cars.

A coupe, crossovers, sedans, sports cars and even separate parts of cars are exhibited on the court of the audience.

We will talk about the most interesting concepts below.

BMW M760Li XDrive.

Novelty BMW M760Li XDrive - Updated Generation of the "Boomer" of the 7th Series, which has received a sports appearance and non-standard dynamics for this class.

A new car received powerful air intakes of the front of the bumper, alloy wheels with a diagonal of 20 inches and a modern decoration under gray metallic.

The peculiarity of the model is the exclusivity of the whole group of elements - the front surface of the "Nostrils", inserts in the door handles, jumpers in the front bumper and other parts.

In the interior, everything reminds about the sports character of the car - a speedometer at an extreme speed of 330 km / h, the original shape of the pedals and the bright decoration of the front console.

Did not fail and the technical component. In the BMW M760Li XDRIVE model, an innovative roll compensation system is built, an intelligent rear drive system is provided and an integral steering steering is installed.

Each element and node are thought out so that the man behind the wheel feel comfort and safety.

Ford Fiesta ST200.

Ford has pleased fans with new hatchbeck Fiesta ST200. The model feature is "charge" and a powerful technical filling.

The new version is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine class "ECOBOOST", which has almost 20% a large moment of rotation and 10% of greater power.

If the last version of the Fiesta could boast a 182-strong engine, then the new engine already gives 200 "horses".

Thanks to the new qualities, the car accelerates 0.2 seconds of the precursor faster - for 6.7 seconds to "hundreds".

At the highest level and the rest of the "filling" of the car. Engineers have provided 3 regime operation of coursework stability, reliable brakes, an improved control system, updated springs and shock absorbers.

Jaguar F-Type SVR

Jaguar pleased the connoisseurs with the new F-Type SVR model "charged" Roadster and 4 × 4 coupe.

The new model received a powerful "eight" with a volume of 5.0 liters and power in 575 "horses".

In comparison with the last version under the hood, 25 hp was added. Included with such a motor there is an automatic transmission with eight steps.

Compared to the last model, the speed F-Type SVR increased by 22 km / h and reached 322 km / h. Up to one hundred, new Jaguar accelerates for 3.6 seconds.

Externally, F-Type SVR is easy to find out on an unusual form of an anti-car, unique rear diffuser and front bumper with a built-in spoiler. A distinctive feature of steel and impressive air intakes, providing better cooling of the motor and brakes.

In addition, the new car has become easier and dropped almost 21 kg. To achieve the goal, engineers installed a titanium system of output and discs of 20 inches from light alloy.

It is worth noting and the appearance of a new suspension with a sports "bias". Sales of the car will begin in mid-2016. Starting price - 130 thousand euros.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge

Rolls-Royce arrived in Geneva at the beginning of 2016 not with empty hands. At the car dealership, the concern presented two cars - a sedan and a Black Badge coupe. Engineers present their novelties, as a technique for self-confident and daring people.

The main features of the car are the dark palette of elements (including the radiator grille).

For staining of the car, the Black Badge Black Badge Black Badge black paint is used for several layers.

Allocate the machine and discs, which are based on light and reliable carbon fiber.

The same material found a place in the cabin. It is a carbon fiber developers covered internal panels.

The technical part does not lag behind the appearance. On the sedan installed motor power in 612 hp This indicator on 42 "horses" is more than the standard version.

In the embodiment, the capacity in power did not happen, and here the indicator remained the same - 632 hp.
