This is the NEW Alpine and Cayman, not much is yet known about these two model types but according to Top Gear's website the Alpine will have a four cylinder turbo engine that will be mounted between the seats and rear wheels, and that it'll have a dual clutch gearbox, and it will do a top speed of up to 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds.
This is the Lamborghini Huracan Performante...I know it's a bit of a mouthful to say but this has only been seen test driving at the Nurburgring and is thought to be shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and apart from this scant piece of information it is thought that the bodywork for this model will focus on giving more downforce, and it is also thought that the mid mounted 5.2 litre V10 engine is expected to have new fuel injection technology that mixes multi-point injection with stratified injection so says AUTOCAR's website.
Also according to this website this will help this four wheel drive trim down on the regular cars sprint finish of 3.2 seconds 0-62mph and possibly extend its 202mph top speed.
According to Top Gear's website this is available in two versions, 1) as a standard 467bhp version or as a widebody GT C form or b) as a 549bhp version with its familiar 4.0 litre bi-turbo V8 engine.
This is the Tesla Model 3, this is an electric car that according to it's own website achieves 215 miles of range per charge, starting price is $35,000 before incentives and it is designed to attain the highest safety ratings in every category.
Tesla's own website boasts that this car combines real world range, performance, safety and spaciousness into a saloon that only Tesla can build.
Apart from this there isn't much known about this car that might according to Top Gear's website get pushed back to 2018.
This is the Peugeot 5008...this to me does look like a squished box on wheels,-not very appealing to look at,-but according to an article on AUTOCAR's website that was published on 7th October last year there are some design features which even to my mind are just mindboggling because of how this thing looks making it sound as if it's a real tardis.
According to AUTOCAR's website this comes with seven seats, all three rows of seats have length adjustability, five different angles of inclination and three-point ISOfix anchor points. Rear passengers are given power sockets, blinds, trays on the back of the first-row seats, cup holders and hooks...very swish!
Boot space can be maximised by removing the third row seats...these seats weigh less than 11kg to make extraction more easier.
Also according to AUTOCAR's website when this car does come to the UK,-this is thought to be mid February- the wrap-around I-Cockpit which adds 12.3inches TFT instrument display and 0.8inches centre console touchscreen.
Also this car comes with either a turbocharged petrol engine or a diesel engine.
JESUS! now this really does look like a box on wheels. But hang on...on Land Rover's own website there seems too be some really cool sounding features with this new Land Rover Discovery for 2017 model like instead of having a key to get into the car you can have the optional Activity Key wristband which is waterproof and robust.
Also there is a 10inch HD touchscreen display, this also includes a "plug and play" feature using the USD ports that act as additional storage for movies and music and there will be charging points for multiple devices.
This is also a seven seater. Also I've just read on Land Rover's own website that there is an optional Terrain Response 2 technology in the car that monitors the driving conditions and automatically selects the driving modes to achieve the best possible chassis and powertrain set up depending on the conditions your driving in.
Also this comes in both a petrol and diesel engine choice.
According to AutoExpress.com's website this new Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport has a longer wheelbase,-increased by 92mm-.
Also for this new coupe styled new Vauxhall will have a revised engine, according to Auto Express's website although it's not yet been specified what these revised engines will be but it's thought that these will be a mix of 1.5 litre and 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engines, and 1.6 and 2.0 litre turbo diesels, this is thought to improve fuel efficiency and improve performance.
Auto Express's website says that the standard transmission set up will be front wheel drive and a six speed manual gearbox, but also according to this website Vauxhall will offer selected engines with four wheel drive and an eight speed automatic gearbox.
Also according to Top Gear's website there will be loads of optional features on this car including LED matrix lighting, a head up display, stacks of driver aids including a 24hr manned call centre guardian angel for drivers, OnStar.
I was just reading on CarWow.com's website how this new VW Golf GTI has now got an upturned grille included in this models refresh for 2017 and now it's lost its friendly features and looks more aggressive I have to agree that this model of a VW doesn't look as friendly as the VW Golf Beatle's features do,-the Herbie the lovebug cars, sorry I just couldn't resist mentioning Herbie when writing about VW Golf cars-.
Also according to Top Gear's website this isn't the only update Golf have made, apparently there will be new bumpers that will be inspired by the Nurburgring crushing GTI ClubSport. Also according to Top Gear's website power has been improved with up to 242bhp and a new seven speed gearbox arriving for faster shifting and leggier cruising.
I have also just realised that this may also be just be a tad long post so there will be a part 3 to this if you would like to read on.
