BMW CS

The design, seen at the Shanghai Motor Show, represents a return to the look of old BMWs, and its aggressive cues showcase the future of the marque’s saloon range.

This is the German maker’s stunning new Concept CS – a luxurious four-door grand tourer aimed squarely at the customers Aston Rapide and Porsche Pan­amera super-saloons.

 Some special touches include intricately patterned 21-inch alloys, large bonnet vents and pronounced haunches. The nose even has clever LED headlamps, designed to reduce glare for oncoming drivers.

Despite being longer than the current 7-Series, the low-slung CS has only four individual seats to ensure luxurious accommodation throughout. High-grade trim includes a new ceramic dial for the manufacturer’s iDrive on-board control system.

Citroën DS5

Price - Estimated Between £23,000 - £33,000
 Release Date - 2012

Citroën is back with it's latest addition to their quirky "hot-hatch" range. This new model called the DS5 is aimed at a younger audience, but one that is able to spend big. Estimated prices range from £23,000 - £33,000; which is a lot for a car that is only marginally bigger than a Fiat 500. It has a very contempory interior, and Citroën have tried very hard to make this car appealing to the sporty younger generation.

Lots Of Leg And Headroom For Those Upfront

Many car manufacturers are now looking at partly electric powered vehicles as an alternative - Citroën propose to give you a 2.0 litre deisel engine which powers the front wheels, while a 40kw electric motor powers the rears. This system allows the car to run for a limited time on electric power only, or with both motors running at the same time.

Overall, I think that this car is fantastic. Buying the German alternative would be completely pointless because no other car around has this personality!

Maserati Kubang V8

Price:  Around £100,000\

Release Date: 2013

Maserati has unveiled its first SUV. The Kubang aims to target customers of the Porsche Cayenne. However in order to win over American and Asian markets, The company has had no choice but to offer a luxury 4×4. This is because Maserati is very quickly expanding in North America, Russia, China and 

India; where Cash rich buyers are looking for their own luxury Suv. 

However If Maseratti want to compete with the "off-roading" market leaders, i believe that they must make a hybrid version of the Kubang too, Land Rover is already preparing a hybrid Range Rover and Porsche already makes a hybrid Cayenne, they simply won't be able to compete. Another issue is the price, it may be a little high for the cost conscious customers of 2011. Starting at £28,000 surely the new Range Rover Evoque is a more attractive deal compared to forking out £100,000 for the new kubang?

F1 Teams Launch Their New Cars for The 2011 Season

Some Of The Unvieled New Cars For The 2011 Season

Maserati Grancabrio Sport

Price: £102,615

0-62 mph: 5.2 sec

The Masarati Grancabrio, definitely a car for the brave, but also the stylish! I love the cheeky looks , meanwhile the V8 shriek is absolutely magical, but the drive didn't meet the high standards that many expected. so; the Italian company has looked to address these problems with its publication of the sport edition.

 Main Improvements: Power increased to 444bhp and the handling is a lot more finely configured compared to the standard model.

Problems that need addressing:The ride is not particurlarly comfortable and the boot is spectacurlarly tiny because of the space taken up by the electric-powered roof and anti-roll bars!

 Overall I think that this car is excellently refined, with luxury pinpointed on every small detail on the inside and outside of the car, It is very much suited be for long journeys, however the lack of boot space is a letdown for a familly of four planning a driving holiday in their new style icon.

The Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Price:£330,000
0-62 mph: (soon to be released)

The Aston Martin V12 Zagato is one of the newer cars to be released, representing the Aston Martin Range. In my opinion from every angle  this car is exceptionally pretty and a work of art. The Performance figures are pretty stunning too, boasting a top speed of 154 mph and and 314 bhp is is fair to say that it will be a very quick car!

Zagato has combined successfully with Aston Martin in the past to make some of the world’s most desirable collector cars (Nowadays some sell at auction for upwards of £4 million!), and in this special anniversary year of the DB4GT Zagato it was deemed appropriate to explore a modern collaboration with the renowned Zagato designers. 

THe original will set you back a whole lot more than the modern day Zagato which has been confirmed by aston Martin to have a starting price of £330,000.  Although this may seem like a hefty price to pay, for a car with these Dynamic and Breathtaking views I think that it is totally justifiable!
