Ist es Dir schon aufgefallen, daß alle Bilder meines Autos, die ich bislang hier im Forum gezeigt habe, ausnahmslos in meiner eigenen Garage aufgenommen wurden?

Von Deinen Fahrzeugen haben wir bislang noch keine echten Bilder gesehen.

Woran könnte das wohl liegen?

Eigentlich mag ich ja Autos - aber was soll das denn hier?

The Wing is Back! Subaru Debuts New 4-Door Impreza® WRX® STI® Model for 2011

First Time Subaru Performance Flagship Offered in Two Body Styles
New WRX STI Four-Door with Wide-Body Design
Retuned Suspension for Even Sharper Handling
NEW YORK, April 1 - Subaru of America today introduced a new 4-door version of its Impreza WRX STI performance flagship model. This will be the first time that the WRX STI has been offered in two body styles (5-door and 4-door). In addition to the new styling, the 2011 WRX STI features significantly revised suspension tuning and lighter 18-inch wheels for even sharper handling.

The WRX STI has been a recipient of continuous improvement since its introduction. Most recently, the 2010 WRX STI Special Edition previewed some of the suspension enhancements now migrated to the 2011 WRX STI. Thorough and painstakingly detailed chassis development, including testing on Germany's famed Nurburgring racetrack, has resulted in the best-handling Impreza WRX STI models Subaru has ever offered.

"The continuous evolution and development of the WRX STI is driven by the strong, loyal and vocal support from thousands of enthusiastic owners of this exciting high-performance vehicle," said Tom Doll, executive vice president and COO of Subaru of America, Inc. "The 2011 4-door WRX STI will expand the appeal of this iconic performance model to a wider range of driving enthusiasts."

New Designs for 2011

In front, the 2011 WRX STI models feature sharpened bumper corners and wider, blacked-out fog lamp nacelles to accentuate the "wide and low" profile. A jutting lip spoiler with three-dimensional detailing emphasizes the cars' sporty intent. The newly designed front grille with black base and blacked-out Subaru wing highlights the headlights' shape to give the entire front end a more powerful appearance, accentuated by larger grille and bumper intake openings.

For the 4-door models, newly designed wider rear fenders are stretched out on the side beyond the tail lamps, accentuating a look of power and stability. The new design details contribute to an improved drag coefficient.

New Chassis Tuning for 2011

The Subaru WRX STI was already a highly optimized performance machine. Specific chassis tuning. Aluminum front lower L-arms reduce unsprung vehicle weight. Major chassis tuning changes include a lowered ride height and new pillow-ball bushings in front and stiffer bushings for the rear subframe that supports the double-wishbone suspension - these improve camber and toe stiffness.

Both the front and rear suspension systems employ higher-rate springs and thicker front and rear stabilizer bars than the 2010 model: 21 mm vs. 20 mm in front and 19 mm vs. 18 mm in rear. Spring rates have increased by 15.6 percent in front and 53 percent in the rear.

New standard 18-inch aluminum wheels feature high-luster paint and weigh 17.6 lbs. less than the previous standard wheels. The optional 18 x 8.5-in. BBS® forged aluminum-alloy wheels, which further reduce unsprung vehicle weight, are highlighted by silver high-luster paint for 2011.

Exclusive to the WRX STI, the Brembo Performance Brake System uses ventilated 4-wheel Super Sport anti-lock (ABS) disc brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Super Sport ABS can control the braking forces at each rear wheel independently, which optimizes braking ability during hard cornering to help reduce understeer.

The Ultimate Performance Subaru

The 2011 WRX STI continues as the ultimate-performance Subaru with its high-boost 305-hp turbocharged/intercooled 4-cyl. Boxer engine and 6-speed manual transmission. The STI also features Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with three "Auto" modes, as well as a manual mode with six driver-selectable differential locking settings.

The WRX STI is equipped with advanced dynamic control systems, as well: the Multi-Mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system is standard and features a track performance-optimized mode; Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) technology allows the driver to tailor the car's driving characteristics by choosing from among three selectable modes - "Intelligent," "Sport" and "Sport Sharp" - using a rotary dial on the center console.

The 2011 Impreza WRX STI models arrive in Subaru dealerships late this summer.

Sporty, Spacious and Versatile Interior

New for 2011, the WRX STI interior is finished in black and silver to highlight its sporty design. Trim panels, the steering wheel air bag cover and steering wheel switches are now dark cast metallic.

The standard tilt and telescopic steering wheel is a three-spoke, leather-wrapped design embossed with the STI logo and features control switches for Bluetooth® hands-free phone function. A new AM/FM stereo with single-disc CD player features Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calling, iPod control capability, a USB port, 3.5mm aux. input jack and XM/SIRIUS satellite radio (subscription is extra). An available navigation system integrates a vehicle information center and Bluetooth hands-free calling

Here is a fine example of what the upcoming BMW M5 F10 could look like. Bimmerpost forum member Alpine325ci painstakingly photoshopped bit and pieces of existing photos taken at the Geneva Motor Show to create these amazingly realistic renders.

The new M5 will feature a downgrading in engine size, with BMW dropping the 5.0 liter V10 in favor of the 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 already in use in the X5 M and X6 M. But that engine will be tuned to a more powerful rating than both the original V10 and its variant in the two X models. Power on the M5 will be boosted to 578 bhp with the torque rating climbing to 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) - a whopping 40 percent more than the previous M5.

Astoundingly, BMW says the M5 will consume about 30 percent less fuel than its predecessor thanks to the Bavarian brand's EfficientDynamics technologies. A kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) may also be made available in the new M5.

The next M5 is expected to be introduced sometime near the end of this year. Market launch will likely be sometime around the spring of 2011.

all die karren die hier von igod oder thedamage gepostet werden gehören umgehend in den schredder. so einen mist würde ich kaum geschenkt nehmen (und wen: weiter verkaufen. aber gaaaanz schnell!)

klasse oder gar stil: komplette fehlanzeige.

Spies near the Nürburgring in Germany caught these photos of the upcoming 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML AMG just before it began testing at the famed stomping ground. The next-generation ML was identified with the usual AMG characteristics such as the AMG wheels, big cross-drilled brake discs and hood vents.

Though heavily camouflaged, several changes can be seen off the bat. The vehicle looks to be lower to the ground than the facelifted ML AMG 63. It also appears to have a different rear passenger-side door. The tailgate also looks smoother, but this is a deception caused by the padding. The current prototype is also showing a dual exhaust, instead of the current ride's quad-pipes, but this can still change on the production model. Lastly, the front bumper looks like it might have larger air intake pockets as indicated by the large flanking camouflage panels.

Combined with the previous photos of the ML-Class we published, we are starting to get a better picture of what the next-gen Mercedes ML-Class and ML AMG are going to look like. The vehicle is expected to be released with a 3.5-liter V6 and 5.5-liter V8 petrol engine, as well as a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. The AMG will likely come with a 570-horsepower (425-kW, 578-PS) twin-turbo V8, with a conventional hybrid and plug-in hybrid expected to be released later.

The Mercedes-Benz ML AMG will likely be shown off in production form at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, with a market release one month later.
