Looking to make a statement at the yacht club? This will do it.
Russian armored-vehicle manufacturer Dartz Prombron has teamed up with Eduard Gray of Swedish luxury-vehicle design firm Gray Design to create the 2012 Sportback, which is made to haul yachts and maybe scare small children.
The Sportback’s release will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Monte Carlo Rally win of Andrey Nagel and Vadim Mikhailoff, who drove the C24/55 Monaco RussoBalt sports car in the event. RussoBalt was later reborn as Dartz Prombron.
The Sportback pays homage to Monte Carlo’s yachting tradition. Built on the Dartz platform, the armored car can tow boats that weigh up to five tons and are 49 feet in length. Its engine reportedly makes a staggering 2,000 hp and has a projected top speed of 155 mph.
Two vehicles in Japan built the brand in the United States soon may get the ax.
The Subaru Tribeca SUV and mid-size Mazda6 sedan will cease their manufacturers seek to improve the efficiency of U.S. assembly plants, a Japanese newspaper said.
Subaru has decided to leave R & d of production of a new generation of Tribeca and end after the current version, Nikkan Kogyo business daily reported on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Mazda plans to stop manufacturing the Mazda6 at the plant in Flat Rock, Michigan, operates as a joint venture with Ford Motor Co. and Mazda that could lead to taking all together, the newspaper said.
Spokesmen for both companies declined to comment on the report.
But both Subaru and Mazda face some difficult decisions about these models into trouble.
The aging of Tribeca, which saw flat sales of only 910 units in the year to April, is sucking up valuable space in production Subaru plant in Indiana, where the company is suffering from an increased ability to build the popular Outback and Legacy.
The Nikkan Kogyo not say when the Tribeca was dropped. But the model, still in its first generation, was introduced in 2005.
Meanwhile, the Mazda6 is one of the reasons Mazda can not turn a regional operating profit in North America – one of its most important markets.
The company expects to produce 100,000 units per annum plant Mazda6 in Flat Rock, Michigan, when the redesigned sedan was launched there in mid-2008. After the financial crisis hit.
Last year the plant built only 45,168 units.
Mazda is cautious about the options you are considering. Closing the production of the Mazda6, which could bring in another vehicle – or Mazda could get off the ground completely. Speculation abounds in Japan that Mazda is considering a new, lower cost production base in North America in Mexico.
Ford has declined to comment on plans for Mazda.
The Jaguar C-X75, the super awesome hybrid that stole the spotlight at the Paris Motor Show, will be realized in late 2013.
Jaguar announced Friday morning in London to create a production version of the car, and make about 250 examples from 2013 to 2015 as part of a partnership with Williams F1. Pricing starts at $ 1.1 million, and more orders and technical information is available on 1 September.
Bill C-X75 will continue to use the name, but a “proper” nickname will be selected for the production of cars, authorities said. It will use an internal combustion engine powered by two electric motors. Jaguar says it can run on hybrid modes, electrical and track.
The supercar is capable of a speed of 200 km / h above, can reach 60 mph in less than three seconds and can run at 100 km / h in under six seconds. It will use a carbon fiber chassis.
“This is Jaguar’s best time,” said chief Adrian Hallmark brand.
Williams F1 help in the development of the C-X75 as part of a new partnership.

“People expect Jaguar to be innovative – that’s when Jaguar is at its best,” said Adrian Hallmark, director of Jaguar. “The C-X75 received an incredible reception as a concept car. We have been building at the time and no clear business model for this model halo of exclusivity. No other vehicle better mean Jaguar renewed confidence and excellence in innovation this technology. “

General Motors has announced that it will add another shift at its Flint Assembly plant to produce more Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups. The third shift is expected to add a full 750 new jobs, and the first wave of employees will begin arriving at the facility during the second quarter of this year. Production will ramp up in the third quarter. Right now, Flint Assembly employs 2,100 workers, and last year, the factory churned out 115,000 vehicles. GM says that the first wave of positions will be filled by workers who were laid off at other facilities. The majority of those workers are expected to originate from Lansing.
The remainder of the positions will be taken by employees who were laid off at other plants, including Orion, Willow Run and Warren. GM won’t be hiring any new employees for the third shift. Hit the jump for the full press release.
When we think about Toyota-Subaru collaboration, the first thing that comes to mind is the highly anticipated rear-wheel-drive “Toyobaru” project. But while the FT-86 and its Subie sibling are first in our thoughts, it wasn’t number one to market.
Automotive News reports that Subaru is set to unveil the Trezia hatchback in March at the Geneva Auto Show. The roomy five-door, which closely mirrors the Honda Fit in most every measurement, will be a near spot-on match of the Toyota Verso it’s based on, but with an Impreza-style grille slapped on the front clip and some Subaru badging sprinkled throughought. Both the Toyota Verso (named Ractis for JDM consumption) and Subaru Trezia are being sold in Japan now, and both vehicles are destined for Euro showrooms this spring.
In Japan, the Trezia is powered by a choice of 1.3-liter and 1.5-liter inline-four cylinder gasoline engines mated to a CVT, but in Europe the 1.5 will be replaced with a 1.4-liter diesel. In Japan, the Trezia can be had with all-wheel-drive provided car buyers check off the box for the more powerful engine, which will likely be the turbodiesel in Europe.
With its roomy interior and diminutive footprint, the Trezia will likely do well overseas. But will we ever see Subaru’s Fit-fighter in North America? With gas prices once again on the rise, it might not be a bad idea.
