BMW Vision ConnectedDrive (2011) first pictures

This gorgeous two-seat roadster is the BMW Vision ConnectedDrive, set to be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva motor show. Unlike some of BMW’s other Vision-tagged concept cars, this unfortunately isn’t a thinly disguised production car, but a study designed to highlight the company’s driver assistance systems.  However, although BMW has released no details on the engine or layout under the sexy skin, thankfully the Vision ConnectedDrive’s stunning styling (including the shark nose, wrap-around rear lights and layered body) will find its way onto future production BMWs.  For a start sensors in the headlamps and rear lights monitor the traffic situation and the environment around the car, while instead of wing mirrors there are antennas that receive navigation data and transmit other information. Inside the driver has a 3D head-up display, and the system can project information about the chosen sat-nav route so it appears at the exact point of a possible turn-off. The 3D system also displays information in the foreground or background of the display depending on its relevance.

Ssangyong XIV-1 concept

Ssangyong is the latest car manufacturer to confirm they will be showcasing a new concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, the XIV-1. The XIV-1 B-segment concept, previously known as the XUV-1, is a crossover concept that underlines the importance of the car's interaction with its driver and passengers, with the vehicle's name coming from the phrase 'eXciting user Interface Vehicle'. Ssangyong will also be premiering the SUT-1 sports utility vehicle, first shown in concept form at the 2011 Geneva motor show and debuting the petrol-powered Korando crossover.

Pink Rolls Royce Ghost FAB 1 supports Breast Cancer Care

The result is a pink Rolls Royce Ghost EWB put together for the Evans adventure with everything from a pink paint job to hand-embroidered headrests with the Breast Cancer Care pink ribbon motif and pink umbrellas. There’s also ‘FAB1′ treadplates , a pink and cream interior and an uplit Spirit of Ecstasy Rolls Royce has handed the Ghost over to Chris’s FAB1 Million project – and he’s chipped in his FAB 1 number plate – with a plan to raise £1 million for the charity over the next year by offering the pink roller for hire for any special day – from weddings to corporate outings – and for appearances at special events. Jolyon Nash, Rolls Royce Marketing Director, said: When I received the call from Chris Evans to support FAB1 Million, we immediately sprang into action. It’s taken countless hours to create such a special car but every minute spent is absolutely worth it for such a valuable cause.
