Details on VW's new electric Golf have arrived early. The electric Golf VII will have a 115HP electric motor producing 199 ft-lb of torque. This allows for a 0-62MPH time of 11.8 seconds and a not-very-fast electronically limited top speed of 84MPH. The e-Golf has a range of 109 miles, and weighs 250kg more than a standard Golf. A full charge from a normal outlet takes 5 hours. Three different driving modes are available on the e-Golf, Normal, Eco and Range. Normal is, well, normal, Eco limits power to 95HP and the top speed to 75MPH. Range turns off the a/c and limits the top speed to 59MPH.
The e-Golf is quieter than the normal golf, and has redesigned bumpers to aid air flow. New MMI graphics show the driver whats going on, similar to that of the Prius. The e-Golf will officially debut at Geneva.

The Flying Spur was supposed to be unveiled at Geneva, but following yesterdays leaked image, Bentley has revealed the new Flying Spur. The Flying Spur no longer carries the Continental name, but has many of its upgrades.
The Flying Spur is one-hundred pounds lighter than the outgoing model, although it still weighs a hefty 5451 lbs. Bentley has put a 616HP, 6.0L W12 in the Flying Spur, which gives it 64 more horsepowers than the old model. The power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic, meaning the Spur can go from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, and on to 200MPH. Power wasn't Bentley's main objective (huh.), so they've fitted higher-profile tires for a smooth ride. The suspension is softer with adaptive dampers to make it smooth, but still handle. The redesigned body reduces noise and vibrations.
As far as tech goes, the FS has an 8-inch touchscreen, two 10-inch screens in the back, Wi-Fi, 64-gig hard drive, and a touchscreen remote for the climate control and media.
You can have it in four or five seat configurations,. Buyers can choose between 100 colors.

The next S Class is appears to be much more striking than the saloon, with a grille similar to that of the CLA. Other features include a long hood, wide taillights and a high belt line.

Rolls-Royce has teases the upcoming Wraith with......a door panel. But quite a nice door panel at that. It has a leather armrest in a sea of wood veneer. Rolls has said the Wraith's interior "echoes the cove at Le Canadel", which is the French cove where Henrey Royce's design team went in the winter. My kind of stuff, that.
The Wraith will be a version of the Ghost, sharing its twin-turbo V12, that could produce more than 600HP in the Wraith. The Wraith will debut at Geneva.
