Watch out for Foton’s latest offerings, which they showcased at their recent event tagged as Big Show. Then, let’s get luxurious as we witness the opening of the Rolls Royce showroom at Bonifacio Global City. Lastly, get your engines roaring with the partnership of Seaoil and STP, which aims to give motorists an enhanced fuel performance. Get a whole load of this – and more – watch Turbo Zone, 10:30 AM, only on GMA News TV.

INJURED OR UNPAID?

Sad news for fans of Lotus Renault GP Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen — it was announced recently that he will be out for the rest of the season. The driver said he’ll be seeking surgery on his back to fix a problem caus…ing him significant pain. However, rumors are rife that his sudden leave is because he hasn’t been paid all year, despite his current third-place position in the driver’s championship.

SEEN @ SEMA: 2014 Kia DJ Booth Soul

The lineup of Kia Souls that rolled into the 2013 SEMA Auto Show are all musically inclined, including this DJ Booth Soul, which was transformed into what Kia describes as the “ultimate DJ booth on wheel…s.” With all five Soul models offering something totally unique, the DJ Booth Soul is the only that doesn’t have a roof. In place of the actual roof, Kia and RIDES magazine decided that it would be a good idea to install a pro-grade Pioneer CDJs and mixer.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR AT THE 2013 LA AUTO SHOW: 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe

The yin to this year’s Jaguar F-Type convertible’s yang is coming next spring in the form of the new F-Type Coupe. Debuting in production form with few deviations fro…m the stunning C-X16 Concept, first shown at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the Jaguar F-Type Coupe looks to benefit from a glass roof and what appears to be an active rear spoiler. Having already driven the convertible, we can safely say that the new F-Type Coupe’s fixed roof should make an already impressive car even better.
