Koenigsegg Agera R BLT

Christian von Koenigsegg and his team have created a custom Agera R for a Chinese client – the Koenigsegg Agera R BLT. When your pockets are deep enough to buy a Koenigsegg, they’re usually deep enough to have it customised to your own specification. That’s how the mighty Agera R came about, and now a Chinese client of Koenigsegg has had his new Agera R turned in to a special edition with lots of goodies and a new name – the Koenigsegg Agera R BLT.

Two new Hyundai transmissions boost mpg

Hyundai will introduce dual-clutch and continuously variable transmissions to models for the United States as early as next year as it seeks to become a leader in fuel efficiency, a top executive says.

Peugeot RCZ Magnetic Limited Edition – it’s a black or white RCZ

The RCZ Magnetic gets based on the RCZ Sport but gets extra goodies added to make a special edition which costs less, say Peugeot, than if you specced a regular RCZ up to the same level. Extra equipment includes parking aids (front and back), interior sports kit (that’s a soft touch leather steering wheel and short shift gear lever), Peugeot Connect Nav (that’s sound and CD with Nav), Connect SOS and Assistance, 19″ Sortilege alloys with a matt black finish, Black Pack (which gives you a black finish on the roof arches, grill, mirrors and brake callipers) and Sports front seats. You only have the choice of two paint jobs – black and white – with the black RCZ Magnetic getting Metallic Nera black paint with red flame leather interior and the white RCZ Pearlescent Pearl white with black leather.
