Aston Martin V12 Zagato

The stunning V12 Zagato is revving up for action – and Auto Express has driven one.

After the supercar wowed the crowds on its debut at the Villa d’Este Concours show in Italy in May, Aston Martin entered a racing version in last month’s Nurburgring 24 Hours. And it was such a success, the brand says it will produce a limited run of 150 models. We got behind the wheel of the track variant at the famous German race circuit, to see what the lucky few buyers can expect.

The car is based on the V12 Vantage, but the design was tweaked by Italian styling house Zagato to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the DB4GT Zagato – the first of many collaborations with Aston. A huge grille, chunky wheelarches and aggressive rear end will ensure the roadgoing model looks the part.

Before getting behind the wheel, it’s intimidating to learn the eye-catching bodywork has been made completely by hand from flat sheets of lightweight thin-gauge aluminium.

Kia coupe concept V8 at Frankfurt

Kia will be unveiling a new Kia coupe concept V8 at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The car will likely be based on the Kia K9 luxury sedan and will feature a rear-wheel drive layout and a powerful V8 engine.

According to a What Car? report in the UK, Kia boss Hank Lee has hinted that such a vehicle is important to the company’s future, saying that a model like this could bolster Kia’s brand image and give the company a standout flagship vehicle.

Meanwhile, Kia’s head of design, Peter Schreyer, has previously said that the model wouldn’t necessarily need to be super-fast or particularly exclusive. He says such a car will need to be fun, practical and, most importantly, cost-effective for it to work well in Kia’s line-up.

2011 Kia Forte Koup SX Review

The Forte Koup is a nice-looking car, even if I'm not a fan of the electric blue on this particular test vehicle. Inside, the coupe is very hospitable, with a black leather interior that is saved from being too dour by red stitching along the edges of the seats and a nicely laid out instrument panel that has orange/red backlighting. When I first climbed into the car I was happy to see that it had a manual gearbox -- oh, wait, it's an automatic that's masquerading as a manual, with a leather sleeve around the base of the shifter. Oh well, at least it has six forward speeds rather than the five with which it was introduced a year earlier. And this SX model has the 174-hp four-cylinder rather than the 156-hp base engine, so it's got an extra dose of power.


As I commented when I first drove a Forte (sedan) almost exactly two years ago, the car's performance isn't exactly ground-breaking, but the Forte is still a satisfying car to drive, with a solid feel and a good sense of style.

2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class coming in Australia

The first details of the upcoming 2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class have been revealed ahead of the compact MPV’s world premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

The second-generation B-Class will hit European showrooms in November.

Mercedes-Benz Australia’s Jerry Stamoulis confirmed the new B-Class would arrive in Australia in the second quarter of 2012.

Mr Stamoulis said timing of the smaller, all-new third-generation A-Class had not yet been confirmed, but said it was likely to reach local showrooms about 12 months after the B-Class, around mid-2013.

Mercedes-Benz has confirmed two new turbocharged four-cylinder engines in four different tunes will be available from launch (depending on the market).

The petrol engine is a completely new design. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz B 180 will feature a 90kW/200Nm 1.6-litre engine, while the new B 200 will get a 115kW/250Nm tune. Both will produce maximum torque from a super-low 1250rpm.

2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class First Look

We can see SLS AMG in the grille, with CLS in the headlights, and E-class in the taillights.

Like the exterior, the cabin of the M-Class is getting a welcomed update. We especially like the new four-spoke steering wheel, with its wood, leather, and aluminum presenting a classy piece of styling. The center stack looks to have been revised as well, with a cleaner interface overall. Other changes include the leather seats, which look to boast contrasting piping and stitching.

The big news comes on the engine front, with only two engines being mentioned here. The ML350 Bluetec soldiers on, although with a more powerful turbodiesel V-6 that now generates 240 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque (as opposed to the old engine that only netted 210 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque). Besides the oil-burner, a gas-powered V-6, with direct injection powers the ML350 4Matic. With 302 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque on tap, it represents a nice jump from the old car’s 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Interestingly, there is no mention of the V-8-powered ML550, the hybrid ML450, or the fire-breathing ML63 AMG.
