Mercedes-Benz has introduced the 2014 SLS AMG GT Final Edition at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The last hurrah for the SLS will be available in a limited series of 350 units which will come with an AMG V8 6.3-liter front-mid engine delivering 591 HP (435 kW) at 6,800 rpm and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm. It will be sold as a coupe and as a roadster and both will be distinguished by a carbon fiber hood with a central air outlet, along with a splitter for the front apron made from the same lightweight material and a fixed carbon fiber rear aerofoil like on the Black Series model.

Debuting at the LA Auto Show, it is expected to herald a new future of small-ish American trucks. Similar, though not identical, to the global Chevy Colorado sold around the world, the new Colorado fills a space that’s largely been abandoned by the major automakers since Ford discontinued the Ranger and Dodge and Chevy outsourced their small trucks to Asian builders.

 

This red beauty is a plug-in diesel hybrid with fuel economy estimated at 261 mpg. Alongside this two-person ride, Volkswagen presented the Twin Up! Concept, adopting the XL-1 powertrain at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show the twin up.

 

Revealed at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show is a new range-topping F-Type R coupé. The F-Type R coupé gets a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine that produces 550 PS and 680 Nm of torque, capable of going from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds and an electronically limited top-speed of 186 mph (297.6 km/h).

 

It doesn’t appear MINI will be pulling any surprises with the car; an automatic folding soft top will remain and the interior will be identical to the one fitted to the regular Cooper, which means MINI’s signature round clusters including the central display. With the new generation, road speed and revs along with other key driving-related information is now shown in an instrument cluster mounted behind the steering wheel. The car will also get a MINI Controller dial located next to the gear stick, which will allow the driver many of the infotainment options.
