A soft-top Audi R8 convertible is heading to a production line in 2011, says Audi. The mid-engine layout prevents a hard top for this £85,000 supercar that could employ a V8 or V10 engine.
Mr. Shinzo Nakanishi also revealed that the 3.5-liter V6 engine for the project has been scrapped and instead a smaller and more fuel efficient 2-liter engine will be the alternative to the Honda Accord, Skoda Superb and Toyota Camry slayer.
He added the market conditions and requirements have turned towards smaller and efficient engines and Suzuki Motor Corporation’s reflex is the scrappage of the 3.5-liter V6 variant which could have costed up to 25 lakh rupees in India if the original plan had gone through.
When asked about the remedy for the falling sales of the presently biggest car SX4, Mr.Nakanishi responded that a diesel engine would eventually arrive but the 1.3-liter Multijet that drives a handful of cars in India won’t make the cut as it is underpowered for application on SX4.
It has been seven long months since the 2011 Mercedes CLS was last caught testing. It was in the form of a test mule then,. Now though, some progress has been made and we are pleased to share a few pictures of the prototype version of the 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS undergoing road-tests.
The car as you can see is quite heavily camouflaged, with some kind of armour like material, so the overall shape is hard to arrive at. However, these are the first images showing the cars interiors. The seat-adjustment buttons are located on the door and are seat shaped (as in Volvo). The navigation system looks quite standard as in all new Mercs.
The new CLS four-door coupe will come out in 2010 as a 2011 model with only one intention, to teach Porsche, Aston Martin and Audi what a four-door coupe really is.

The Bajaj ULC project was deployed into action by Nissan, Renault and Indian bike and 3-wheeler manufacturer Bajaj last year by displaying a prototype at the Delhi AutoExpo. Ever since the Nano was formally announced on March 23, the Bajaj’s Nano has drawn wide interest of the Indian public.
Nissan’s head Carlos Ghosn goes on air often hinting this small car would be priced around $2,500, but Rajiv Bajaj, MD Bajaj Auto, who conveys that only has been the direction of the project and not the intention.
The Bajaj’s small car will instead carve out its identity as the most fuel-efficient car instead of the cheapest, the former the framework of any low-cost motorcycle. As the project matures, the transmission type and related choices will be frozen.
According to the reports emerged before, the transmission would combine the best of an automatic and manual gearbox, and the engine would be a highly efficient 2-cylinder, of petrol and diesel forms.
