John Travolta's Mercedes robbed

John Travolta's Mercedes robbed!!





Whether we be very clear ... Steal the car of John Travoltais something that does not happen. Well, we can say that stealing a vehicle, generally it is not, but that of Travoltais even worse!

It's as if you were flying Vincent Vega, the famous hero of Pulp Fiction, and it can cost you. However a wicked person has stolen the Mercedes-Benz 280SL from 1970, so of collection, of our poor John.

The worst part of this story is that it is destiny which seems to have punished the actor. Indeed so John was parked on the street to go to a dealership Jaguar. He stayed just ten minutes but when he returned, his precious car was gone. We think direct in a flight, but the thesis of the car so sad to be replaced that it is leaking is also envisaged.

It is $ 100,000 who have just change hands .

Land Rover DC100 Sport

Land Rover DC100 Sport




The brand new Land Rover DC100 Sport was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week. The DC100 Sport was a surprise reveal alongside the much anticipated DC100 and is one of two concepts that the Land Rover team have confirmed will be put into production for 2015. Both were revealed to gauge public interest and gather feedback to give Land Rover an idea of which direction to go in for 2015 to avoid rushing into a replacement.



In comparison to the silver three door 4X4 DC100 demonstrating ‘capability and versatility’, the DC100 Sport is an open-air pick-up version in bright yellow-orange and is described as ‘an active expression of freedom and leisure’.

Under the hood, both concepts use 2.0-litre four-cylinder engines driving all four wheels through a stop/start-equipped eight-speed automatic. However, while the DC100 has a diesel engine, the DC100 Sport has a petrol engine.

Both concepts have a new automatic terrain response system that automatically sets all the driver assist systems sensing the wheel travel, wheelslip, the texture of the ground and a sonar depth-sounder for driving through rivers.

Volkswagen Recalls 30,000 New Jettas From US Markets





Volkswagen said today that it is recalling more than 30,000 Jetta sedans from the 2011 and 2012 model years… because the tailpipes can stick out too far and burn people. You read it right.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today on its site that the stainless steel exhaust pipe tips installed at ports of entry and dealerships can stick out farther than the factory-installed tailpipes.
If hot, people could be burned on the legs. So far Volkswagen has received fewer than 10 complaints of burns.

Dealers will replace the tailpipe free of charge. Volkswagen will start notifying its customers shortly.

Pink Chevy Camaro Pace Car to Raise Funds to Fight Breast Cancer During NASCAR Race





Everything Breast Cancer Awareness touches turns pink, so why should an all-American fire breathing Chevrolet Camaro SS be any different?

GM Chevrolet pledges to further support the cause by donating $ 200 for every caution lap the pink Camaro SS pace cars perform. Moreover, Chevrolet will participate in other American Cancer Society “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” events as well.

Jaguar C-X16 A Two-Seater; What Mean The Name ?

Jaguar C-X16 A Two-Seater; What Mean The Name ?


The 2011 Frankfurt auto show opens to the media on Sept. 12, and one of the most anticipated concept cars making its debut on the show floor will be the Jaguar C-X16 concept, a promise-keeper for the brand's future entry-level sports car.
Chief designer Ian Callum says it's one of the most exciting cars he's worked on in his long history with the brand, and that excitement ends up showing up in the name: C-X16 is, in fact, the sixteenth car Callum has worked on since he landed at Jaguar after his tenures at Ford and TWR/Aston Martin.

The Frankfurt-bound C-X16 has been called a "production concept" by Jaguar officials in the press surrounding the release of a concept-car sketch, seen here. Those officials indicate the concept coming to Frankfurt will not be a running vehicle--and that suggests the C-X16 is a bit more "concept" than "production" car at this point in time, though clearly on a fast track to reality.

Officially, Jaguar says the concept is a "precursor to future Jaguar sports cars that will aim to set new class benchmarks in design, vehicle dynamics and technology."

Callum also confirms the C-X16 is a two-seater, something that looks obvious from sketches but hasn't been stated yet in the lead-up to the car's reveal in Frankfurt on September 7. He also says any production version will be aimed at a "volume" segment, something significantly less expensive than today's Jaguar XK and its base price of about $84,000.

As for his other budding sportscar project, the C-X75, Callum says "the Bugatti Veyron had better watch out," suggesting Jaguar has very lofty performance goals for its concept supercar, approved for production but sporting a plug-in hybrid drivetrain instead of its concept microturbine hybrid system.
