.: CONCEPT FASCINATION STUDY SHOWCASES NEW DESIGN IDIOM : .
MERCEDES Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz builds the worlds most desirable coupés a claim which the Stuttgart-based car maker is underlining at the 2008 Paris Motor Show with its ConceptFASCINATION design study. This unique vehicle, whose innovative and unconventional proportions interpret the emotional appeal of a coupé in a new way, represents an exciting and intelligent combination of sporty and elegant design with stylish practicality. Wood, aluminium and smoked glass give a particularly exclusive look and feel to the luggage compartment which incorporates a refrigerated compartment and a humidor as well as offering a large load space. These attributes embody the two objectives of ConceptFASCINATION to provide a high level of practical usability and to create a coupé which appeals to the heart with fast, thrilling lines. In developing this design study, Mercedes-Benz has given fresh impetus to the long-established (although now rarely seen) shooting brake, a vehicle category with its own distinctive charisma. Freed from the constraints of a specifications book, the designers have created an automotive sculpture with great aesthetic appeal which once again demonstrates Mercedes-Benzs high level of design expertise. ConceptFASCINATION is a unique jewel of compelling automotive design which is distinguished by its irresistibly dynamic lines yet still offers the benefits of a large luggage compartment. A particularly notable feature of the design is that the practical load space develops organically from the exciting and elegant lines of this lifestyle coupé, giving it its special charisma. Inside, the tone is set by fine, exceptional materials hand-crafted to the highest standard. Absolute perfection and attention to detail make this design study an incomparable gem which conveys at one and the same time a sense of sporty forward movement and elegance, savoir-vivre and exclusivity of the highest level. Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, commented: This design study continues the long tradition of exciting coupés from Mercedes-Benz in impressive style. With its emotionally appealing lines, ConceptFASCINATION offers a completely new interpretation of the coupé. Its aesthetic, dynamic looks and painstakingly crafted details ensure that this study meets the highest design standards. |

CHECK OUT MORE AT: http://www.kbb.com Saab 9-X BioHybrid. Part 1 of 3 Combine a 1.4-liter, turbocharged, BioPower (flex-fuel) engine with a big battery and other electric bits and you've got a BioHybrid, according to Saab. Exterior highlights include a "shooting brake" profile (think short, two-door wagon) devoid of door handles and mirrors, plus a roof spoiler and underbody diffuser that extend rearward for improved aerodynamics at highway speeds. Inside, the cargo floor is lined with rubber carpeting that prevents cargo from sliding around. When the tailgate is opened, the floor slides out automatically and recessed aluminum bars rise from the "sticky" surface to promote easier loading.

Mercedes FASCINATION Concept @ 2008 Paris Auto Show
SEE MORE OF THE PARIS AUTO SHOW: www.insideline.com STUTTGART, Germany — Mercedes-Benz calls the look of its ConceptFASCINATION showcar "sense and sensuousness," and with good reason. The elegant wagon concept will debut at the 2008 Paris Auto Show next month. Powered by Mercedes' latest four-cylinder diesel engine, Mercedes says this "design study" is intended to show that a coupe can have "fast, thrilling lines" and practicality at the same time. ConceptFASCINATION combines a refrigerated luggage compartment, lots of load space — and a humidor for cigar aficionados — with wood, aluminum and smoked glass interior trim. The exterior design is intended to convey "forward-flowing energy" thanks to its frameless side window line, sculpted wheel arches and wedge-shaped profile. There's also a central ridge in the hood to continue the V-shape theme and a chrome strip running around the lower body into which the front LED foglamps are set. Inside, luxurious materials "from the world of equestrianism" include woven fabrics and saddle-style leather on the aluminum center console, top of the dashboard and door armrests. Walnut and chrome trim are also plentiful inside, and the V theme is continued with the "dynamic wing" styling of the dashboard. Mercedes-Benz says the ConceptFASCINATION is its 21st-century version of the classic shooting brake. No further plans for the design study were announced. |

MEET GORDEN WAGENER Mercedes-Benz Names New Head of Design
At the International Motor Show in Paris, Daimler AG introduced the new Head of Global Design Gorden Wagener. At forty years of age, Wagener is the second youngest individual to hold the important and prestigious position of chief designer. An eleven year design veteran, Wagener succeeds Professor Peter Pfeiffer. The design study ConceptFASCINATION was created under the leadership of Gorden Wagener and is being touted as the worlds most desirable coupe. The lineage is known in automotive design language as shooting brake. This is the first time that Mercedes is showing its own innovative interpretation of this concept. Only a few days before the opening of the Paris Motor Show, Gorden Wagener put the finishing touches on the show car before it was shipped off to be center stage at one of the most important auto shows in Europe. Gorden Wagener has worked for Mercedes-Benz since 1997 and as head of the Advanced Design department. Wagener is among the pioneers within the Stuttgart automotive brand who develop future vehicle concepts and work towards the realization of new design strategies. Wagener and his team showcased their ideas for the premium automobile of the future with their much-noted research vehicle F 700, which was presented by Mercedes-Benz in the fall of 2007. Wagener studied Industrial Design at the University of Essen in Germany and later focused on Transportation Design at the Royal College of Art in London. He began his career as Exterior Designer in 1995, and joined Mercedes-Benz in Sindelfingen, Germany two years later. In 1999, he became head of the Exterior / Interior Styling department, designing the models of the GL, M and R-Class with his team. In 2002, Wagener was responsible for the design of the models making up the A, B, C, E, CLK and CLS-Class. Let's meet the new design chief... |

Audi O Concept Car 2008 Designed by Ondrej Jirec fm Czech Republic
Audi O Concept Car Designed by Ondrej Jirec fm Czech Republic Make Audi Model O Concept year 2008 Production year ? Engine hybrid diesel/electric The 2008 Audi O concept was designed by Ondrej Jirec, a design student from the Czech Republic who is beginning studies at the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California in 2008. The Audi O concept was designed to fuse a powerful and innovative audio system with a stylish and sporty four-seat hatchback. The exterior design uses several Audi trademark styling themes, especially at the front where the square grille sits neatly between the LED headlights. The doors feature glass windows running along the bottom edge which provide an interesting shape to the profile of the car. At the rear of the car the pullout door echoes the design of the squared off Audi grille. The styling of the Audi O was influenced by a variety of sources including the Audi Shooting Brake concept from 2005, the Apple iPod and music. The interior of the Audi O concept is bright and airy thanks to a full length panoramic roof which floods the cabin with light. Inside, the passenger compartment has been separated from the engine compartment by a double firewall to help keep out external noise which might interfere with the powerful sound system. The Audi O concept features a unique audio system which has internet connectivity for downloading music onto the built-in 650 GB hard drive. When parked up a Bluetooth system can connect two or more Audi O cars to play audio over a wider area. In this situation, a host Audi O is set to be the source of sound and the other vehicles act as speakers. The Audi O also features a pullout rear door fitted with a DJ set with mixing decks. The decks can also be removed and used anywhere outside the car. Powering the Audi O concept is fuel efficient diesel/electric hybrid drivetrain.

Madame Sarkozy Carla Bruni Spot Lancia Musa, Ecollection,
http://es.video.yahoo.com/watch/2393413/7155876 Madame Sarkozy TURIN, Italy — Lancia knows how to get TV viewers' attention. The ads for its new Musa feature Carla Bruni, Italian model/actress — and the recent bride of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. In the first, she arrived at a red-carpet event in the Musa, where she was greeted by a neck-craning, flash-popping crowd to the strains of "Bang Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down" — and set fire to a traditional black limousine by touching it. The new ad, set to make its premiere this weekend in Europe, shows the funeral for a white limousine. Lancia says the point of the ads is to show that its Musa is the natural replacement for old-fashioned big cars. The new Musa, the automaker says, "is the first to unite the comfort, spaciousness and classiness of a limousine with the agility and compact size of a city car." Also, it must be said, the first car with an ad that features as its star the first lady of a major country. It must be paying off, since Lancia said the new model is already the top seller in its class in Italy. The ads were filmed in September — before Bruni and Sarkozy's wedding. Watch the first ad here. The Italian slogan translates to: "Limo outside, city car inside." The second ad will surely be up on YouTube as soon as it has had its TV premiere. What this means to you: Chevrolet, are you watching — and preparing to line up Michelle Obama for a TrailBlazer ad or something? — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent KEMPTEN, Germany — ABT Sportsline, the renowned Volkswagen tuning specialist, has done it again with a sporty and practical rendition of the Golf Variant wagon. The exterior is equipped with a full body kit: ABT added a front lip, aggressive side skirts and a rear wing. The stainless steel two-pipe exhaust system blends well with the 19-inch wheels to create a more aggressive appearance. ABT offers three upgraded engines for the Variant: a 1.4-liter TFSI that delivers 210 horsepower, a 1.9-liter TDI that lays down 130 hp and a torquey 2.0-liter TDI with 190 hp. ABT chassis mods include springs, shocks and an adjustable sport suspension. What this means to you: ABT has successfully modified another clean VW into something that packs little more punch. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent STUTTGART, Germany — Mercedes-Benz calls the look of its ConceptFASCINATION showcar "sense and sensuousness," and with good reason. The elegant wagon concept will debut at the 2008 Paris Auto Show next month. Powered by Mercedes' latest four-cylinder diesel engine, Mercedes says this "design study" is intended to show that a coupe can have "fast, thrilling lines" and practicality at the same time. ConceptFASCINATION combines a refrigerated luggage compartment, lots of load space — and a humidor for cigar aficionados — with wood, aluminum and smoked glass interior trim.

Walnut and chrome trim are also plentiful inside, and the V theme is continued with the "dynamic wing" styling of the dashboard. Mercedes-Benz says the ConceptFASCINATION is its 21st-century version of the classic shooting brake. No further plans for the design study were announced. What this means to you: This concept might be a wagon, but expect to see much of the styling carry over to the next-generation E-Class. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent To certain people (we'll call them women), going to Paris in the fall means shopping on the Champs-Élysées, nibbling on pastries at sidewalk cafes and taking in the sights of one of the world's most beautiful cities. That's all fine and good, but when we head to the City of Lights this October it will be for one thing and one thing only: the 2008 Paris Auto Show. With no competition from Frankfurt or Tokyo, the Paris auto show is the only game in town this fall, so there are guaranteed to be several world premieres at the Porte de Versailles convention center. |
