• powered by Ford’s  2.0-litre 136PS TDCi engine (it is a fuel efficient one);
• combines elements of SUV and coupe car in designing;
• has a kinetic and non-aggressive designs;
• six-speed manual transmission;
• bold wheel arches (19-inch);
• trapezoidal and interesting front grills;
• modified body. Thus, all five passengers and luggage feel themselves comfortable;

It is the first car from Ford designed exceptionally in Europe and for Europe. This car will be released in Germany in 2008. But, Ford has no ideas to bring Kuga to America.

Opel Flextreme Concept as many other cars was presented at the popular International Auto Show in Frankfurt and can be proud of its unusual design. What is more, it is a really electric and environmentally friendly car, it is perfect at reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. It possesses a 1.3 turbo engine, it speed up to 55 kph, from the first sight, it can seem, that it is not a car at all and it is easier to use your feet than to drive at such a speed. But, be fair, are you driving at a speed 100 kph (when you are using a usual road?) Of course, not… So, this speed is enough for a usual city driving.

After a small introduction, let’s talk about design. A large transparent roof, enormously large luggage section, comfortable seats (Zafira’s seating system), rear carrier system. This car has only 3 doors, but this circumstance doesn’t influence its convenience and accessibility to any part of the car. Opel Flextreme Concept looks like an alien or a visitor from the remote planet. The car possesses geometrically right forms and combines structural minimalism with luxurious abundance. The design of headlights is really strange, they are so curvy, even boomerang-shape and the back of the car is very stylish; with a naked eye it can’t be noticed any separation between side windows, they seem to be completely integral windows. Special attention must be given to doors: they are like big butterflies, they are not just beautiful, but practical as well – when you are parking your car very close to a wall or something like this, you have an incredible access to your trunk. Also, they are much safer than conventional ones.

Driving performance of the car is rather high – the car is balanced, feels itself rather confidently on the road. The technology of engine making is based on the best GM techniques, the source of the energy is a lithium-ion battery, some more energy comes from an engine – 1.3-liter CDTI. It is amazing, but this engine has no connection to wheels and it is used exceptionally to charge the batteries, when they have no power to accomplish driving process. Opel Flextreme is predicted to emit less than 40 g of C02 per km. This vehicle is created in accordance with anew technology to use a source of energy that is available right now.

Wiesmann GT MF 5, the name seems to be rather simple and not promising at all. But, very often appearance is deceitful, so let’s find out, whether it is true or not.

This car from Wiesmann is called a super sport car. How often do we hear or read this inscription? I think even more then often and sometimes it doesn’t convey any sense and means nothing. But, according to Friedhelm Wiesmann, this car is a new stage in their company development and it really deserves the status of super sport car, it is a real monster on the wheels. First of all, the appearance is unusual, then it can be proud of unbelievable stability while on the road and moreover, it ensures, safe (it can be easily proven: serial ABS combinedenergy, stiff aluminium monocoque, absorbing car body parts) and comfortable driving. As it was already told, it is not a car, it is a monster and sometimes it can be really difficult to cope with it, so the manufacturer didn’t forget about it: the seats were designed in such a way to ensure excellent back support, also they can be adjusted to the contours of the driver’s body. Thus, it is no use to be afraid of acceleration force. Wiesmann GT MF 5 is just a new, advanced version of M4 and it became a little bit longer and wider. Actually, it was presented at the Frankfurt Auto Show 2007. The following technical specification can amazed you, but it is truth:

What about engine?

• V10 Front-mounted mid-engine;
• 10 cylinders and 4 valves;
• max. torque: 520 Nm;
• max. power: 373 KW (507 HP);
• CO2 emission: 357 g/km;

And now comes the turn of general specifications, such as weight, length and other.

• weight: 1,380 kg;
• length/width/height: 4,300 / 1,956 / 1,170 mm;
• wheelbase: 2,507 mm;

One of the most interesting facts is, of course, driving performance:

• acceleration 0-100 km/h: 3.9 s;
• top speed: 310 km/h;

And it goes without saying, that such a car must be comfortable and has everything onboard, so talking about everything I mean:

• leather luxurious interior;
• central locking system;
• oil temperature/pressure gauge;
• glove box with lighting;
• Xenon headlamps;
• refrigerator;

This car will hit the markets (according to the official data) in spring of 2008. And the most controversial issue, price of the GT MF 5 nearly 178,900 € including VAT.

Although Frankfurt Auto Show 2007 is a very interesting topic to view, but let’s change the theme and find out more about another future supercar 2008. This car motto is “Formula One car for the road.” A lot of car manufacturers hate such a wording but they can do nothing about it. So, let’s turn our attention to the Caparo 1.

So, first of all, before driving such a car, try not to forget about facts: only 2 passengers can share this car and they must be friends, because they will have to sit too close to each other, the direction of sitting – slightly behind and to the side. Also, it is impossible to drive such a car onto long distances. Moreover, while driving it is possible to mistaken this car with a jet plane and if you are fond of watching landscapes from the window of a car – FORGET IT! This car reaches 60mph in 2.5s, it can speed up to 205 mph!!! The car will look definitely strange, I mean on the roads, also, you will look a bit smaller, if you happened to stuck in a traffic gem near Arnold Schwarzenegger Hummer. The new car is not comfortable at all, you can’t take too many things with you, just a mobile phone or something like that and you will put it in your own pocket.

The T1 has rather good brakes (but as for me it is useless try to stop a car, while driving 200 mph). The Caparo possesses the 3.5 L engine was developed together with Menard and as it was already said it has a blistering speed.

As for me, I think, this car will cost a great number of money and won’t be very popular (among not very wealthy people). Because it is a car for collection or a 1 hour driving together with a friend, so rich collectors will buy it, for sure.

You still believe that a modern, safe, maneuver, rather powerful and inexpensive car is still a myth? You are not right. Frankfurt Auto Show 2007 has changed everything and Toyota presented a car, whose motto is: “Think small!” The new Toyota IQ will hit the markets of such countries as: Russia, Brazil and China. Actually, I came across this car, while looking at the results of the Frankfurt Show and I liked the review of John Neff, so I had a closer look at this car.

Toyota IQ is a tiny car, that’s why it will be ideal for crowded big city roads, it will give additional advantages to its owner, thus, he or she will be able to park it everywhere (it is almost impossible not to find a place for such a small car), moreover this car is easy to drive, have 4 seats (3+1 seater “iQ concept” ) as any other car, will consume less fuel and won’t pollute the environment. I think, such cars (also, Volkswagen Up!) will flood big cities within the next decade.

So, new Toyota is only 2.98 mm long, if you are an owner of Toyota Yaris and you will happen to open the door of IQ concept Toyota car, you will see no difference! They are like too drops of water! It was created at the Toyota’s European design studio (in France). It is designed in accordance with the new Toyota philosophy “vibrant clarity”: it has everything a modern city dweller can need: bright appearance, maneuverability, functions, enough space and even more – it is a green car, ecologically friendly.

Nowadays, Toyota IQ can be named the smallest 4-seat passenger car (there are seats for 3 adults and one child). In a normal condition, a driver and a passenger are sitting side by side, but if to move their seats further forward, there will appear an extra space for 1 more adult and a child. It has a panoramic glass sunroof, as for me, I think it looks wonderful during a day time, but at nights it might look a little gloomy (I mean interior of the car). You know, I would like to drive in such a car especially when it rains, just imagine, you are in the center of rain and absolutely dry.

But, it was my own dreams, let’s better specify when this tiny car hit global markets. According to the official data, in 2009.

Porsche’s GT2. The first version too wasn’t too popular, ’cause it was treated like a car-killer, but yet we don’t know the future of this one, so let’s just look and admire:

One of the most funniest cars was Audi RS6. Too stupid to be truth? Who knows.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. It is a new, sport and very fast car, that weighs only 1250kg.

Aston Martin DBS – renewed and powerful car of James Bond.

Lamborghini LP640 is also called a Revention after one of the famous fighting bulls.

Maserati’s Quattroporte Sport S – with new tyres and new weigh must be very balanced and stable while making turns.

Now let’s turn our attention to the video trailer about new and fashionable cars:

Some other models, that are not so expensive, but their manufacturers turned to be very inventive:

• Lancia Ypsilon Sport MomoDesign

• Daihatsu OFC-1 Concept

• Volkswagen Up

• Renault Laguna Coupe

• Opel Flextreme Concept

Frankfurt Auto Show can be named as one of the most important events of the year. It is a large international motor show, the largest in Europe. It gathers millions of people from all over the world and presents the best cars of the following year, also set the priorities in car buying and determines the perspectives of car manufacturing industry.

It is not a secret that this auto show takes place in Germany, so most of the cars are German. Such manufacturers as: BMW, Audi and Mercedes used to show their new models and, as a rule, there shows bring a lot of orders onto the presented models and raise the demand onto them. Sometimes there can be seen unexpected breakthroughs at this Show, like Japanese debut or U.S. debut. There are more than 10 exposition halls at this Show and very often it can takes you up to 10 minutes of walk to change one hall for another. Recent years it seems more like a real Show, and not the auto one. Famous singers and celebrities visit it, the atmosphere is glamorous and promising.

The number of exposing cars goes up every year. For example, in 2003 there were only 30 new concept car, the number of Mercedes and BMW cars was really small.

Frankfurt Auto Show 2007 has a motto: “Let’s make our world cleaner!” The Earth around must be green and not polluted. It is possible to see there any kinds of engines: diesel, diesotto, hybrids. But, if you don’t care about the Earth and planet, Auto Show 2007 offered a great number of luxurious sedans and sport cars.
