The Lincoln Continental, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Toyota Avalon come out at the top of a group of six large cars recently evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The three cars qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+, the Institute’s highest award. The Tesla Model S, the Chevrolet Impala and the Ford Taurus fall short of any award because they each earn only an acceptable rating in the small overlap front test.
Vehicles qualify for either the TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ award if they have good ratings from IIHS in five crashworthiness tests — small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints — and an available front crash prevention system that earns a superior or advanced rating. To qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle also must come with good or acceptable headlights

Beim traditionellen Volkswagen-Konzern-Treffen am Vorabend des Genfer Autosalons gab es eine spannende Frage – welche Weltpremieren, welche Studien würden hier vorab präsentiert, welche erst am ersten Messetag. Denn angesichts der wahren Neuheitenflut war eine Auswahl unumgänglich. Nun, man entschied sich für eine gesunde Mischung und fand damit bei den über 1.200 geladenen Gästen großen Anklang. Die dritte Generation des Audi TT, der Huracan als Nachfolger des Lamborghini Gallardo, der „Rembrandt Bugatti“ als weitere Sonderedition des Veyron 16,4 Grand Sport Vitesse, der Continental GT Speed als schnellster Bentley aller Zeiten sowie der Seat Leon Cupra zeigten das Hier und Jetzt. Die Skoda-Designstudie „VisionC“ und das sechssitzige Konzeptfahrzeug „Clipper“ von Giugiaro dagegen unterschiedliche Ansätze, wie die automobile Zukunft aussehen könnte. Für den Spagat zwischen Konzeptfahrzeug und Serie zuständig aren der T-ROC, mit dem Volkswagen zwischen Tiguan und Touareg eine neue SUV-Baureihe etablieren wird und die Alltrack-Studie für den VW Multivan, der schon sehr bald auf unseren Straßen zu sehen sein dürfte. Ein vielfältigeres Angebot kann derzeit kein anderer Autokonzern bieten.
Bentley hat das Topmodell Flying Spur neu aufgelegt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass Ihnen dieses imposante Auto auf dem Weg zur Arbeit begegnet ist relativ gering, deshalb wollen wir die Gelegenheit nutzen, ihn einmal genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen… und zu staunen… Zuerst einmal ist der Name neu. War sein Vorgänger noch ein Derivat der Continental-Baureihe, das lediglich den Namen „Flying Spur“ als Zusatz trug, hört die aktuelle Generation nur noch auf den Namen „New Flying Spur“. Britische Limousinen gelten seit den Anfängen des Automobilbaus als der Inbegriff von Luxus und Sportlichkeit. Dieser Erwartung fühlt sich auch der neue Bentley verpflichtet. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, die 5,30 Meter Limousine ist der stärkste und schnellste Serien-Bentley der je die Hallen verlassen hat. Aus seinem in W-Form angeordneten Zwölfzylinder holt er dank zweier Turbolader 625 PS heraus. Dank Allradantrieb kann der immerhin rund 2,5 Tonnen schwere Flying Spur in 4,6 Sekunden auf Tempo 100 sprinten, erst bei 322 km/h endet der Vortrieb.
Mazda announced the addition of Liam Dwyer as a full-time racer in the 2015 Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge. Dwyer stunned the racing world in 2014 when he teamed up with Tom Long to co-drive their Freedom Autosport Mazda MX-5 to the win in the Lime Rock Park Continental Tire ST race on Memorial Day weekend. The win was a made-for-Hollywood storyline as Dwyer was competing in only his second professional race, and he was doing it with an artificial leg, having been injured while serving as a U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant in Afghanistan just three years previously.
For 2015, Dwyer will be paired up with Andrew Carbonell for the entire ten-race season beginning January 23rd at Daytona International Speedway. Carbonell scored two wins with Freedom Autosport and Mazda in 2014.

Die Show in L.A. kann dem neuen Beetle Cabrio keiner stehlen: Er ist sofort Liebling der Besucher. Optisch eine Hommage an seine Vorgänger, die auf dem US-Markt für Furore sorgten, technisch einer auf dem neuesten Stand. Auch Porsche nutzt die Bühne im Sonnenstaat Kalifornien für die Weltpremiere seines Cayman, denn hier sind stylishe Kraftpakete aus Zuffenhausen besonders gefragt. Auf Diesel-Kurs ist Audi und bedient damit die Nachfrage von Premiumkunden nach sauberen Selbstzündern. Bentley macht Motorsportfreunden mit seinem Continental GT3 schon mal Appetit auf mehr. SUVs sind bei Amerikaner noch immer stark nachgefragt; entsprechend die Toyota-Offerte mit dem neuen RAV4. Bei BMW stand die Submarke i im Mittelpunkt mit Studien für die Zukunft, und Mercedes lockt die Blicke mit einem Angebot der besonderen Art: G-like zeigt eine Studie, wie die Polizei künftig auf Verbrecherjagd gehen könnte.
Messe Frankfurt looks back on a 45-year-long tradition of success in the automotive industry and takes this opportunity to thank its long-term and loyal exhibitors. It has come up with something special for this occasion: the artist and photographer Rafael Neff has converted several customer products into theme worlds that are featured in the 2016 Automechanika calendar: Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG, BBS GmbH, Brembo S.p.A., Continental Aftermarket GmbH,Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH,Hella KGaA Hueck & Co, Johnson Controls Autobatterie GmbH & Co. KGaA, Liqui Moly GmbH, Mahle GmbH, MANN+HUMMEL GmbH, RECARO Automotive Ltd. & Co. KG, Schaeffler AG, ZF Friedrichshafen AG. The high-quality calendar was presented at the ‘We say THANKS’ ceremony in the Klassikstadt Frankfurt, to which Messe Frankfurt issued an invitation.
Automechanika is certainly the most exciting success story in 45 years. The story began in 1971 with the first Automechanika in Frankfurt, which was christened when the IAA was cancelled. In subsequent years, the trade fair has made outstanding progress, advancing to the world’s leading trade fair, which is now held in fifteen locations worldwide. In the meantime, Messe Frankfurt is also organising a series of new B2B trade fairs for trucking and logistics and B2C events for automobiles, bikes, and boats.
