Ferrari F12berlinetta from Paris Motor Show

Ferrari F12berlinatta, the replacement of the legendary V12 powered Ferrari 599. The F12berlinatta is faster, more efficient, lighter and more powerful. As you expected from Ferrari, each of their new cars coming from Maranello are always much better than the previous ones.
However, I really wonder how many Ferrari owners can utilise, benefit, or realise state-of-art technologies in a Ferrari. We all know that most of the Ferrari owners may not know what their car can do.
Anyway, this discussion can go forever therefore I want to share some photos of Ferrari F12berlinetta from the Paris Motor Show.
Ferrari F12berlinetta is powered by 6.2-lt V12 petrol engine with 740 PS and 690 Nm of torque. 3.1 seconds to reach 100 kph and the top speed is more than 340 kph.

Paris Motor Show: Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Concept

Porsche revealed Panamera Sport Turismo Concept model during the Paris Motor Show. Last one decade, Porsche revealed Cayenne and succeed, revealed Panamera succeed and I am definitely sure that, Panamera Sport Turismo will succeed as well. Porsche is very good at achieving success with interestingly looking cars, such as Panamera Sport Turismo.
Panamera Sport Turismo represent the new path of Porsche’s design approach  As you can see there are not exterior mirrors, they are replaced with cameras. I assume, it won’t be that practically to check screen instead of mirrors. Full digital instrument panel will be present in future Porsche models, which I really don’t like!
Panamera Sport Turismo is a hybrid and powered by 3-lt V6 petrol engine with 333 PS and coupled with 95 PS electric motor powered by a 9.4 kWh li-ion battery. This combination generates 416 PS of power! Sport Turismo only need less than six seconds to reach 100 kph, with 3.5 lt/km consumption level. 82 g/km is the CO2 level for the Porsche. 
From top to bottom, Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is very interesting :)

New Mercedes S-Class (W222) Aesthetics S

New Mercedes S-Class is here, sorry but not in the shape of a car. During last few years, Mercedes started to change its brand image and associated more fashion and art based notions. As a result of this new strategy and try to improve the image of the Mercedes vehicles, new S-Class (W222) is introduced as a Aesthetics S sculpture before its public reveal.
Aesthetics S represents the new design elements of the new S-Class by interpreting through artistic point of view. Aesthetics S sculpture can be seen in Paris Motor Show (27 September to 14 October 2012) in Hall 1.
My view; if you will visit the Paris Motor Show, try to see this sculpture. I am sure we will use lots of new S-Class in couple of years but we won’t have opportunity to Aesthetics S that easy. And not to forget, Mercedes S-Class always sustains its market leader position despite its powerful competitors.
