See 2011 VW Passat Sedan In Paris Auto Show Preview, Full Specification Despite an ongoing feud with Porsche over who actually owns the company, Volkswagen AG's management is promising the very latest engine technology and sleek new sheetmetal for a new car it is planning to build in the U.S. Based on the Passat�s architecture, but with its own unique interior and exterior looks, the new sedan will compete for the heart of the mid-size sedan market now ruled by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Although the current Passat architecture already underpins a stylish spinoff in the 2009 Passat CC, the new vehicle will reportedly not replace the Passat, leaving the family with three vehicles squeezed onto one platform.,

Leaked sketches Audi e-tron Spyder | 2012 Super car

Here first image  Leaked sketches Audi e-tron Spyder | 2012 Super car.There�s been no word on the powerplant details at this stage, reports say that it will be an electric vehicle of some description, most likely matching the drivetrain of the Audi e-Tron Concept (coupe) that debuted at the Detroit Show earlier this year.

This is might be the first sketches of the oft-rumored Audi e-Tron Spyder that's supposedly set to debut at the Paris Motor Show. As you'd expect, this convertible creature appears to be based on the design of the e-Tron Concept shown at the Detroit Auto Show this year, not the original concept shown in Frankfurt. Still, no word on the powerplant involved, but if it is headed for production expect a run of 1,000 units in 2012. see the gallery below

2011 Audi S7

This is 2011 Audi S7, for long time it has been spied again during testing on the Nurburgring race track. Unfortunately, the spy images show only a heavily camouflaged 2011 Audi S7 and leave a lot of room for interpretation. However, a few design cues of the more performance oriented 2011 Audi S7 can still be distinguished through the black and white psychedelic vinyl wrap. The 2011 Audi S7 will have a more aggressive front fascia with a re-designed bumper and larger air intakes. The rear of the 2011 Audi S7 shows the meaning quad exhaust pipes.

General proportions of the 2011 Audi S7 will stick to the Audi A7 Sportback Concept, with various modifications to make it more market friendly of course.

The 2011 Audi S7 is expected to be powered by a V8 engine developing around 500 hp, but it's top speed will probably be limited to 250 km/h.

2011 Audi S7 price is not known yet, but the car is expected to be premiered at the Moscow Auto Show in August. see the latest photo 2011 Audi S7
