They boast low fuel consumption, produce fewer emissions and are great fun: the modern petrol engines from Volkswagen. For the Polo you have the choice of a 44 kW (60 hp), 51 kW (70 hp) or a 63 kW (85 hp) engine - all of which of course comply with the Euro 5 standard (fuel consumption: 5.5-5.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 128-139 g/km). Lighter, more efficient and above all: cleaner. The innovative common rail diesel engines, always sporty and frugal, are now on a par with TSI engines when it comes to environmental compatibility. The 55 kW (75 hp) engine complies with the Euro 5 standard and will take you much further on one tank of fuel (fuel consumption: 4.2 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 109 g/km).

The Polo GTI is one such case. And though you may enjoy this car for a long time to come thanks to Volkswagen’s proven quality it must be said that you won’t be the only one: the Polo will keep several generations mobile. Before the driving fun starts the Polo will demand your full attention with its sophisticated interior: high-quality surfaces that look and feel good, a sporty 3-spoke steering wheel and plenty of storage compartments for all the things you can’t do without in your Polo: mobile phone, drinks, CDs and so on.

The Volkswagen new Eos fuses both in great style. This is clearly visible from its new Volkswagen face too: black-painted radiator grille fins with chrome edging, fog lights with chrome surrounds and static cornering lights, as well as halogen main headlights with turn signals housed behind a single clear-glass lens set it apart as a member of the Volkswagen family, yet still convey its independent personality.  Close your eyes, count to 25 and imagine a gentle breeze blowing across your face. For that is exactly how long the five-part CSC roof system takes to disappear out of sight into the tail of the new Eos and transform it from sporty coupé to chic cabriolet.

The VW New Eos has been consistently geared towards optimising fuel consumption and reducing pollutants. That is why the smooth-running, high-torque four-cylinder common-rail TDI engines are fitted with a diesel particulate filter. And regardless of which engine variant you prefer, power is effortlessly transmitted to the front wheels via the 6-speed manual gearbox or the 6-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox. The TSI engines in the new Eos thrill with their agility, powerful response and perfectly smooth running. Another highlight are the TSI engines with BlueMotion technology, which excel by achieving significantly reduced fuel consumption and low emissions combined with dynamic performance.

The VW New Eos “Light Assist” main beam control system can put an end to this. Using a camera installed behind the windscreen, it can detect oncoming traffic or vehicles driving ahead and use this information to automatically switch between dipped and main beam, depending on the vehicle’s own speed. The headlights are dipped in good time, as soon as the oncoming road user has been detected. The system only switches back to the main beam headlights again once the road user has passed and can no longer be dazzled.

The Audi A3 e-tron concept design represents the typical Audi language of sporty elegance. The single-frame grille is integrated into the front end, giving it a sculptured look. Its frame is made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), and the transversely mounted, three-dimensional aluminum louvers create a visual effect that emphasizes the showcar’s width. The headlights merge with the beveled upper corners of the single-frame, forming a transition that marks the starting point of the prominently accentuated lines of the engine hood.

The A3 E-Tron Concept headlights represent a new stage of evolution in LED technology, a groundbreaking innovation from Audi. They become broader as they extend outward, and a line underneath makes them seem to float on air. Above the front spoiler is a full-length air intake, also made of CFRP, framed by a metal clasp. The spoiler features a splitter that increases the downforce on the front wheels. The intelligent interplay between surfaces and lines also defines the tail end of the A3 e-tron concept. The broad, flat tail lights are sculptured and culminate in a point on the inside, and the tailgate bears an elegant spoiler edge.

The rear apron includes a diffuser insert of CFRP and metal, which in turn surrounds the two large tailpipes for the exhaust system. Working together, the gasoline engine and electric motor accelerate the notchback to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 6.8 seconds, then on to 231 km/h (143.54 mph). A regulated oil pump, the intelligent Audi thermal management system, a start-stop system and an energy recovery system  technologies from the brand’s modular efficiency platform all contribute to this high efficiency.

At the heart of the A3 e-tron concept are the lithium-ion batteries located behind the rear seats. A3 E-Tron Concept With a charge capacity of 12 kWh, they give the notchback a range of up to 54 km (34 miles) on electric power alone. The batteries are charged by the standard energy recovery system when the car is in motion or directly from a household power socket when it is parked. This means that in most cases, the car is entirely emission-free in city driving. The front suspension a MacPherson construction with a separate axle support has a track measuring a full 1,572 millimeters (61.89 in). The rack-and-pinion steering is extremely efficient because its electromechanical drive system requires no energy when driving straight ahead.

2012 Audi A3 E-Tron Concept

The audi A3 E-Tron Concept four-link rear suspension with its 1,542-millimeter (60.71-in) track is likewise fixed to a subframe. Its control arms made of high-strength steel enable the suspension to absorb longitudinal and lateral forces separately. The shock absorbers and coil springs are mounted separately from each other.

Ferrari have made Green the new Red for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and performance green was the name of the game at the show. With Porsche and Lotus also showing off hy-performance hybrids the dread that surrounded the greening of the SuperCar sector with the introduction electrics to the power mix can be safely put to bed. These are exciting cars.



Whereas many people were in fear that hybrid technologies would see performance compromise in the name of “efficiency” the truth of where the exotic car builders are going is far more exciting. Traditionally we have seen Nitrous, Turbos and Superchargers as the extra power injectors, now have to start thinking of capacitors, batteries and motors. Nitrous is dead for the new age Hot Rodders, Lx is here to stay and itself will be combined with induction and exhaust chargers for internal combustion power in an explosion of technology that will make the shrinking of mobile telephone batteries look like it took forever.

Ferrari’s first toe-in the water of the Hybrid pool comes in the form of the 599 HY-KERS, a road going version of their Kinetic Energy Recovery System - or regenerative braking system used in the past seasons F1 car. The Ferrari HY-KERS system sees a 40kg electric motor and generator fitted in line with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and mounted below the car’s center of gravity. This motor cuts in during acceleration and provides over 100 additional hp plus instant torque from standstill and during overtaking. Under braking the electric drive unit acts as a generator, using the kinetic energy generated to recharge the batteries. The torque delivery is controlled automatically via the onboard computer using grip, gear selection and accelerator pedal angle to dictate requirements. The system can also function as a full-electric drivetrain for around town driving.

 The electric motor features a unique cooling and lubrication system to provide efficiency under all operating temperatures and loads. The castings for the motor are made in the Ferrari foundry and are complete with Prancing Horse logo. The system weighs just 40 kg, which is partially offset by the fact that the starter motor and conventional battery become redundant.



A paramount objective for Ferrari was to maintain the balance, handling and performance characteristics of the impressive 599GTB. This was achieved by positioning all the components of the HY-KERS system below the centre of gravity, the flat lithium-ion batteries are positioned below the floorpan of the car inside the aerodynamic underbody. In fact the CoG has actually been lowered from the standard car. Also interior and luggage space has been unaffected.
