Lotus Exige S (2011) at Frankfurt motor show

This is the new Lotus Exige S, just unveiled by CEO Dany Bahar at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show. And it might not be the sort of Lotus Exige you were expecting: this new S model now runs the supercharged 3.5-litre V6 from the Evora S, meaning it not only boasts 35% more power than before, but it is also 191kg heavier. Lotus Exige S: the spec Lotus’s long-held mantra has been ‘add lightness’, but Bahar’s future plans call for models to rival the 458, the California and the Rapide, essentially bigger cars with bigger engines.

Disney and Pixar announce 'Cars 3'

Variety is reporting that Pixar will introduce a third chapter to the "Cars" franchise, the company's second trilogy behind "Toy Story." It will join a long-awaited sequel to "The Incredibles," written by Brad Bird, a sequel to "Finding Nemo," and a sequel to "Planes" called "Planes: Fire and Rescue." That one will come out this year, on July 18. The first "Cars" was something magical, a love letter from car guy John Lasseter to the insular world of car enthusiasts. The second "Cars" sold over $2 billion in merchandise and was a massive commercial success.

Nothing new is really happening on the new model front with Sergio Marchionne hunkered down to try and weather the sales slump, but things are a bit brighter for Fiat in South America.
