2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet – it’s video time

2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet - now we get the Video One of the busiest pages on Cars UK this week has been the news of the reveal of the 2012 Porsche 911 Cabriolet (and the 2012 911 Cabriolet photo gallery has been busy too), so when Porsche sent us video too we thought it was worth sharing. The new 911 Cabriolet is obviously rather popular. For now, we have to be satisfied with the Carrera Cabriolet and Carrera S Cabriolet.

CCS Ford Model T project

This past semester, eleven junior-level College for Creative Studies (CCS) Transportation Design students were asked to reinterpret an automotive icon: the Ford Model T. Over the course of the 16-week semester the students created 11 different concepts for a Model T for the future without forgetting the underlying principle - creating an icon that would have equal significance and social impact like the 100 year old original.   On April 30 each of the students presented their research, sketches, renderings and one- quarter scale models judged by Peter Horbury, Ford Executive Director of Design, The Americas and Pat Schiavone, Ford's Design Director for North America Trucks and CUVs. The winning concept, which the judges thought best embodied the spirit, innovation and sociological impact equal to that of the original Model T, was created by Dong Tran, of Cicero, New York.

Renault Twin’Run takes on Renault 5 Turbo & Clio V6 (video)

Renault Twin’Run takes on the Renault 5 Turbo and Clio V6 It’s only a couple of days since the Renault Twin’Run Concept sprang in to life, complete with V6 Turbo powering the back wheels and looking for all the world like a spiritual successor to mad Renault’s from times gone by – like the R5 Turbo and Clio V6. And it seems that’s a point Renault want to make very clear as they appear to be about to launch a short ‘Adventure’ film starring the Twin’Run, R5 and Clio out playing, just so we all know what the Twin’Run’s heritage is. But this is Renault – and they’re French, you know – so instead of recruiting a trio of boy racers to pilot the three hot hatches they’ve enlisted the skills of a trio of beautiful women.
