New Aston Martin Vanquish – the Internet star

The new for 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish has proved an Internet hit for Aston Martin, breaking all website records. We all love a new supercar, and a supercar that has looks to die for is bound to be a hit. But the new Aston Martin Vanquish looks like it’s really piqued the interest of petrolheads around the world, with Aston Martin reporting record-breaking days on its website.

BMW M4 Concept (2013) first official pictures

This is the new BMW M4 – don’t believe the ‘Concept’ tag. BMW’s M concepts always look identical when they reach production, and this new 424bhp coupe will be no exception. The M Division 4-series employs forced induction, signalling the death of the outgoing E92 M3’s sonorous 4.0-litre V8.

Kia has revealed that they will offer a battery electric version of the next generation Kia Soul when it arrives in 2014. Hyundai may have seen the light and decided the future for cars lies with hydrogen fuel cell cars and not battery electric cars, but sister company Kia thinks differently. It seems an odd polarity for the Korean siblings to take different routes to the future of powertrains for cars, but perhaps it’s just a case of hedging bets rather than an inability by Kia to see how impractical the BEV is as a replacement for a normal ICE car?
