Car news from The Automotive Car - The Ford Fusion Hybrid 2012 is a tad different from its competition. Its base 175-horsepower four-cylinder is pretty much the norm, but there are two V6 engine upgrades available rather than the typical one. The more common 3.0-liter V6 produces only 240 hp, which is considerably less than its rivals. The Fusion Sport, however, gets a more competitive 263-hp V6 that gets nearly the same fuel economy as the smaller six-cylinder. In other words, if you want V6 power in your Fusion, we'd suggest the Sport.

The new Opel Ampera Concept car

The new Opel  Ampera Concept car

Car news from The Automotive Car - The new Ampera Concept car will be one of Opel's star attractions at the upcoming Geneva Auto Salon in early March, showing off an interesting new design that differs slightly from the American-destined Chevrolet Volt.The acceleration of the Ampera-Concept is driven continuously by an electric motor, regardless of the circumstances or speed. When the route is less than 60 km power is supplied by electricity stored in lithium-ion battery of 16 kWh, which can be plugged into any 230 volt household electrical outlet to be recharged.

When first uses electricity stored in batteries, the Ampera-Concept does not emit CO2. When the battery power is exhausted, a generator motor takes over essence/E85 imperceptibly, and supplies electricity that will power the electric drive motor while maintaining the battery charge. This mode of operation extends the range to 500 km.

Gone are the somewhat frumpy looks of the GS, replaced with creases and curves that exude poise and aggression. Lexus seems to have focused most of its attention on the front end: The concept features a new grille and headlamp designs that Lexus’ whole lineup will end up wearing over time, the automaker says.
