A new five-door Subaru WRX?
Goodbye McLaren 12C, Hello 650S!
Supercar maker and F1 champion team McLaren has confirmed that the production of their “entry-level” McLaren 12C would come to an end soon as they shift their focus to the successor, the McLaren 650S. Though production comes as sudden news for some, the new car will in many ways be similar to the 12C, and then some:
McLaren also told us there’ll be a bit of a tech transfer between the two cars. “McLaren has always believed in continual development — a trait we have inherited from our racing roots. A range of developments seen on the McLaren 650S will be made available to existing 12C customers to further enhance the driving and ownership experience, and additional options introduced on the 650S will also be made available for 12C models.
Volvo showcase at MIAS
The Manila International Auto Show started earlier today (and we’re there!) and will run until Sunday, showcasing some of the newest vehicles from various car manufacturers.
Volvo will be there to feature exciting models like the crossover SUV XC60, shown above. The elegant and fun V40 will also be there, along with its more rugged twin, the V40 Cross Country.
Last but definitely the most crowd-drawing in this list is the Polestar C30 R-Design, Volvo’s tuned option for the C30 that puts it right where Volkswagen’s Golf GTI and Audi’s A3 tread. If you’re not familiar with Polestar, they’re a Swedish racing company and they’ve been racing Volvos since the mid nineties.
