What's this ATS all about? Looks like a shrunken Cadillac
CTS.
And that's essentially what it is. Only it isn't as the ATS is an entirely
new car built off a completely, all-new-from-the-ground-up platform. Car
companies, least of all luxury ones, don't get to build new platforms - the
basic fabric of a car other than the body - very often as they cost an immense
amount of time and cash. So this ATS saloon is not the only car that is going...
Not that the Audi A6 3.0 BiTD in either Avant or sedan trims lacks the oomph,
but if you're in need of more power and improved handling, then you may want to
look at what Germany's MTM has prepared for the Four Ring brand's executive
model.
The fine-tuning starts from the engine bay where MTM engineers upgrade the V6
unit's software boosting output and peak torque from 309hp (313PS) and 650Nm

Nagel who the 1912 Monte Carlo Rally.
Always up for a joke (we assume…), Dartz has this to say about the Nagel...
We know that the next BMW M3 sedan is coming and we have a general idea of what
it will look like thanks to an abundance of spy shots over the past year, but if
you are still having a hard time visualizing the sportiest model in the F30
3-Series range, photoshop artist Wildspeed has put together these renderings.
The CGIs (Computer Generated Imagery) propose a wider body with bloated front
and rear wheel arches housing larger wheels...
Big car, small engine. The pairing may seem paradoxical, but Ford has made a
habit of dropping its turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder
into its larger vehicles. The latest blue-oval big’un to get a small EcoBoost is
the beefy Taurus; this additional engine option, joining a naturally aspirated
V-6 and the SHO’s EcoBoost V-6, appears as part of the sedan’s 2013 refresh. As
