Video: Hear the glorious 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe all by its lonesome

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe

Engine notes are a funny thing. They don't add anything to a car's performance capabilities. They don't improve emissions or lower fuel consumption. They don't contribute to ride quality or overall refinement - in fact you could argue just the opposite, at least indirectly. Yet automakers spend a great deal of time and resources to ensure their cars sound just right.

Few engines emit the kind of throaty, raspy burble that a V8 crafted by AMG does. The Mercedes-Benz performance division just makes some of the best sounding engines around. But you don't have to take our word for it: follow the jump to watch - and more importantly hear - the new C63 AMG Coupe sliding around a wet track - without any background music, voiceover, or even much color to distract from the sweet, sweet sound of the 6.2-liter, 450-horsepower V8 revving in all its glory.

Official: 2012 Mini Roadster details, images revealed

Filed under: ,



This is the car Mini expects a fair few of you have been waiting for, and the cheeky Anglo-German outfit has dropped a Bunker Buster full of information on it. The 2012 Mini Roadster with its manual soft top is the sixth addition to the relentlessly expanding little family; the first two-seater convertible to ever wear the winged Mini badge.

It sits 20 millimeters lower than a traditional Mini convertible, a fact expected to help its handling just as much as the exclusive chassis tuning, electronic differential lock control, rollover bars and active rear spoiler.

The Roadster's four different flavors will get four different engines, from the 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 143-horsepower and 225 pound-feet in the Cooper SD Roadster up to the John Cooper Works trip with 211 hp coming from a 1.6-liter TwinPower Turbo. There's an evening's worth of reading after the jump and a slew of high-res photos in the attached gallery, though, so no need to dally here taking our word for it.

Report: VW CEO Winterkorn happy with rebounding Seat, Skoda

Filed under: ,



Martin Winterkorn is a happy man: Volkswagen is putting up big numbers in North America, its latest field of dreams, Audi, is breaking records every month, there are exciting cars in the pipeline - from Bugatti down to the XL1, Porsche's digestion continues, and now Skoda and especially Seat are turning in no-questions performance.

It seems Skoda has been on the ups for years, making the most of keen pricing and modern redesigns of the chassis and tech it gets handed down from big brothers VW and Audi. Winterkorn predicts the Czech brand will just about double its 2010 sales by 2018, going from 762,000 to 1.5 million.

Seat, on the other hand, wasn't just on the hotseat a year-and-a-half ago, phrases like "uncertain future" - code for "possible demise" - were rumbling in the background. A new CEO was brought in, new money and new models were thrown against the wall, and the efforts have stuck. The Spanish brand has hit three strong chords with Winterkorn, with increased sales, strong performance in China and anticipated models due. If this keeps up there won't be much left for him to do but, a la Alexander the Great, break down and cry with no worlds left to conquer.
