Mitsubishi teases Concept Global Small ahead of Geneva debut

Mitsubishi has released the first image of the Concept Global Small, ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

While the name won't win awards for originality, the CGS features an attractive design with distinctive headlights, a sloping roofline, and flush door handles. Inside, efficient packaging ensures the cabin can comfortably seat five adults.

The CGS is technically a concept, possibly of the new Colt/Mirage, which will eventually go into production in March 2012. It will be built in Thailand and feature class-leading fuel efficiency as well as CO2 emissions "in the mid-90 g/km range."



Detailed specifications haven't been announced, but the production model will be powered by a 1.0- to 1.2-liter engine which is paired to a continually variable transmission (CVT). Furthermore, to maximize efficiency, the vehicle will have regenerative brakes and an engine start/stop system.

Lamborghini Murcielago/Aventador camo pics released

Here are some photos of the upcoming Lamborghini Murcielago replacement, once referred to as the Jota and possibly to be called the Aventador LP700-4, that were released by Lamborghini but have made the rounds on the Internet as spy photos.

The Lambo here is still heavily undercover but the shape of the vehicle appears more discernible in these up-close shots. The Murcielago successor seems up to the task of carrying the Lambo mantle.

Lamborghini is still being tight-lipped about certain details of the car, such as the name, even as it lets journalists test drive the vehicle and Lambo's boss has already started shopping the vehicle around to selected customers.

The next flagship Lamborghini will come with a new 6.5 liter V12 producing 515 kW (700 PS / 690 bhp) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque coupled to a 7-speed single clutch gearbox with independent shifting rods (ISR). It will be extremely lightweight and have a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds with a top speed of around 350 km/h (217 mph).
