CO2 Emissions To 109 G/km

Setting the pace, showing the way: The BMW 5 Series builds further on its efficiency lead in the executive class. CO2 emissions to 109 g/km. It may not be its only strength - far from it - but outstanding efficiency is undoubtedly a BMW 5 Series speciality. Indeed, the model series鈥?achievements in this area have played a major role in securing its global bestselling status at the premium end of the executive class. And now the BMW 5 Series Sedan and BMW 5 Series Touring have set about extending their lead in the efficiency stakes once again. The introduction of a new generation of four-cylinder diesel engines improves further on what was already an exceptional balance between performance and fuel economy. The new 2.0-litre units with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology boost the output of the new BMW 518d and new BMW 520d by another 5 kW apiece. At the same time, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in the EU test cycle have been reduced by as much as 0.4 litres per 100 kilometres / 10 grams per kilometre. For example, the new BMW 520d Sedan - which now produces 140 kW/190 hp - burns just 4.7-4.3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (60.1-65.7 mpg imp) with CO2 emissions of 114-124 g/km. If the optional eight-speed Steptronic transmission is specified, these figures improve further to 4.5-4.1 l/100 km (62.8-68.9 mpg imp) with CO2 emissions of 109-119 g/km, depending on the tyre format fitted.

The team of 18 masters students from the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) began work on the unconventional MINI concept in 2014 in collaboration with ArtCenter College of Design in California. The seventh-generation of CU-ICAR鈥檚 Deep Orange graduate programme features an innovative open design. The front windscreen opens fully and reaches from the hood to the roof, providing the driver with a unique wide-open view ahead. Its design is reminiscent of the vintage BMW Isetta bubble car from the 1950鈥檚 that featured an front opening door. It also provides the owner with useful storage underneath the dashboard. It comes with a range of optional powertrains such as a traditional internal combustion engine, two plug-in hybrid options and a pure battery electric motor. For the hybrid and BEV models, the MINI concept features rocker cooling, which provides cooling elements for the electric motors without the need for conventional radiators, therefore increasing storage space at the front. Replacing the instrument dials is a virtual companion called MINI Face that provides relevant information to the driver on an interactive screen. Clemson University and BMW had previously collaborated on CU-ICAR鈥檚 Deep Orange 4 concept based on the X3 SUV that featured design elements from the X4. Deep Orange is the flagship programme of Clemson鈥檚 two-year Automotive Engineering master鈥檚 degree. Do you like the look of the MINI Deep Orange 7? Let us know below!

Since its debut for the 2008 model year, the Audi R8 has captivated the hearts of drivers and the public alike. With its rear-biased all-wheel drive, nearly telepathic responsiveness, lightweight aluminum-intensive construction and exotic pseudo-futuristic design, the R8 is the brand's first proper halo car for the United States. Of course, it hasn't hurt that the supercar has had a co-starring role in the Iron Man movie franchise as well. At the core of every 2014 Audi R8 is a highly tuned V8 or V10 engine. While neither engine's output is exceptional for this class of car, they both sound exceptional and drive all four wheels through the R8's standard AWD system. One very positive development this year is the new "S tronic" dual-clutch automated manual transmission option. It replaces the car's previous "R tronic" single-clutch automated manual, which was notorious for its rough-shifting nature. Fortunately, Audi still offers a traditional manual transmission for those who still like to row gears old-school style. No matter who's doing the shifting, we've always loved how the Audi R8 drives.
