Lee Noble, the founder of Noble Automotive, has released a series of renderings featuring his next supercar. The car will be produced by Noble's new company, Fenix Automotive, set-up within the two years following his departure from Noble Automotive.Renderings show an interesting front fascia and spoiler that bulges at the outer edges, making the front take on a convex appearance. A trapezoidal blacked-out honeycomb grille looks sporty, while the headlights and LEDs look almost menacing. Indicators appear to also be built into the sideview mirrors. The overhead view of the car shows a vehicle that will likely have limited cabin space. Although a two-seater, it looks like access will be provided to the rear through rearward opening "suicide" doors, making loading and unloading of gear a bit easier.
Purchasers of the as-yet unnamed car will get a choice of either the GM LS3 V8-engine, producing 480 horsepower, or the LS9 V8-engine from the Corvette ZR1. That engine bumps horsepower up to 638 hp. Using the bigger engine, the Fenix is expected to reach 100mph (160 km/h) in under seven seconds.
Keeping the vehicle's weight at 1,200 kilograms was key to reaching that ludicrous sprint time. A composite body helped weight remain low on the two-seater. Top speed on the car is 200 mph.
Pricing on the unnamed car will begin at £75,000. Sales could begin by the fourth quarter of 2010.
Vauxhall has released the first images of the redesigned 2011 Meriva (aka the Opel Meriva), ahead of its official unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show.Featuring the same design language as the critically-acclaimed Insignia, the Meriva looks far more upscale than its predecessor. The advanced design is further highlighted by the addition of FlexDoors which were originally shown on the Meriva Concept in 2008. According to Vauxhall, the rear-hinged FlexDoors "swing open towards the back of the car at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, vastly improving the ease with which occupants enter and leave the cabin. Rather than having to step back, or to one side, as one would using a normal front-hinged door, the FlexDoor allows unimpeded forward access/egress to and from the cabin, enhanced further by the Meriva's exceptionally high roof line."
While Vauxhall didn't release any interior pictures, they stated the cabin will feature a FlexRail system which allows owners to choose from a variety of modular storage bins and other components. Elsewhere, the company also revised the FlexSpace system (fold-down rear seats which can slide forward and backwards to improve legroom or storage capacity) to be more intuitive to use.
Engine options will include six turbocharged units with power outputs ranging from 75 to 140PS. On average, the engines will have a 15% improvement in fuel efficiency and 25 g/km reduction in CO2 emissions. If that isn't green enough, the company will also introduce an ecoFLEX model.

Upcoming Cars in 2012 BMW 1-series Coupe and Convertible
BMW today announced several modifications to the 2012 BMW 1 Series Coupe that accentuate efficiency and premium quality. The unmistakable profile of the 1 Series Coupe, which represents the purest expression of BMW DNA is now sharper than ever. The new design of the front fascia on the 128i includes BMW’s innovative Air Curtain that counters turbulence near the wheel arches and so reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle. New exterior design accents have been incorporated into the headlight and tail light clusters.
The 135i can be equipped with BMW’s 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission (DCT), as featured on the BMW Z4 Roadster. Equipped with DCT, the 135i Coupe will accomplish the 0-60 mph sprint in a scorching 5.0 seconds. A 6-speed Steptronic automatic remains optional on the 128i. So equipped, the 128i Coupe runs 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds, or 6.1 seconds with the standard 6-speed manual transmission.
We’ve been longing for an M version of BMW’s 1 Series coupe since the 1 Series tii concept made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show back in 2007. Finally, recent spy photos point to this coming true, most likely by 2011 in Europe and 2012 in North America. A source at BMW told us two things regarding a 1 Series M: First, that “there seems to be something to the rumors.” And second, if it happens, it will be during the North American coupe’s current life cycle, which puts it no later than the 2013 model year.
