The New Ford Focus ST next generation
Since Ford has planned for the RS version, and there is already some information about known.
At least, Len Urwin, head of Fords RS-department does in an interview with car news PistonHeads a book open on the upcoming flagship model of the Ford Focus.
According Urwin get the next hot lightning around 350 horsepower under the hood, 50 horses more than the previous generation RS managed to produce. And that was a car that regularly the boundaries of the genre hothatch visited.

Reportedly gives the RS a new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder under the hood, which at the moment is being developed for the next generation Mustang. A four-cylinder in a Mustang will get used to, but in Focus we welcome him with open arms.
The violence that 350 hp at the wheels for release in harness to keep Ford assembles probably an electronic differential lock.
Len Urwin not preclude the whirlwind RS will be equipped with four-wheel drive, but there will be a completely new system to be developed. Moreover, the focus wheel drive unnecessarily heavy and expensive, something not in his favor will work.
We expect the arrival of the RS on a one to two years. Unlike its predecessor, the RS as a five on the market, there is indeed no rolls diedeurs Focus more of the tire.

Mercedes says its tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMWs 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Polk officials have not released their numbers to the public, but Autoblog obtained them from Mercedes-Benz.
Speaking at the monthly meeting of the International Motor Press Association in New York City, Mercedes-Benz North America chief Steve Cannon said, "Cars sold to people in the calendar year who then register their vehicles seems to be a more accurate measure of real sales than just the raw sales numbers."
Cannon claims that BMW used "various methods" to beef up its sales in December, as Mercedes had been watching month-to-month registrations all year, and had been leading BMW for 11 months. Cannon said, "When you look at the difference between our sales and registrations, there is a discrepancy of 11. When you look at BMWs, there is a discrepancy of 13,000."
A BMW spokesman said the company stands by its sales figures.Mercedes says its tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
How to Program a Keyless Entry in a BMW
1. Close all of the doors on your car, including the trunk and the hood. Remove your key from the ignition.
2. Open the trunk and then get in the car. Close the drivers door and put the key in the ignition.
3. Turn the key one click to the right, then back to the off position. Repeat this process quickly five times, ending in the off position. This process must be completed in 10 seconds. If successful, you will hear a beep.
4. Open and close your drivers door and press any button on your remote to begin the programming process. The red light on your remote will flash on and off.
5. Open your drivers door and get out of the car to close the trunk. Close the drivers door and wait for the keyless remote to emit another short beep. The programming is now complete.
Lamborghini Veneno 2013
Geneva motor show 2013: Lamborghini Veneno
Lamborghini to reveal £2.6 million supercar at the 2013 Geneva motor show – and only three will be sold.
Exterior
Lamborghini is showing what it calls a street-legal supercar, the Veneno – of which only three will be sold, each costing £2.6 million plus tax – at the 2013 Geneva motor show.
According to Lamborghini, its design is focused on maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The Veneno is based on the Aventador supercar, and shares its 6.5-litre V12 engine although in the Veneno it develops 50bhp more, at 750bhp. That, combined with a wind-cheating shape, should mean a top speed of 221mph.
The new Veneno brings one of the most extreme exterior designs we have seen on any supercar coming from Sant’Agata Bolognese. While rumors suggested it will be based on the Aventador, it turns out the new Veneno has nothing in common with the previous supercar.
The car’s front features a large aerodynamic wing with huge channels that allows the air to arrive in the front hood, front of the windshield and the front wheels. A first on a Lamborghini model are those Y-shaped angular headlamps that run deep into the fenders and the scissor doors.
When viewed from the side, the new Veneno received enormous sills and even larger wheel arches on the front and rear. For the rear, Lamborghini installed a substantial diffuser hiding the four sizable exhaust pipes divided by a splitter. There are also large openings that provide better ventilation to the engine bay and, of course, an adjustable rear wing inspired by the company’s experience in motorsport. The rear lights also feature a Y-shaped design, while the engine cover features six wedge-shaped openings that help cooling the V-12 beast.
Each part of the supercar’s exterior is made of carbon fiber combined with an all-new, grey metallic-look color for the rest of the body. The model that will be displayed in Geneva, which will remain property of Lamborghini, will display all three colors of the Italian flag, while the three units offered to customers will offer each just one color of the flag.
Interior
The use of carbon fiber continues on the interior where Lamborghini lets the carbon-fiber monocoque remain visible in the area of the central tunnel and the sills.
The new Veneno is equipped with two lightweight bucket seats made from Lamborghini’s patented Forged Composite, and the cockpit will be made in woven carbon-fiber.
The instrument panel has been completely redesigned and features aggressive graphics and some additional features, like the G-meter, which provides all necessary information to the driver for control of the car.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, the three lucky owners of the Veneno will get an improved version of the 6.5 liter V-12 engine found in the Aventador. The engine receives enlarged intake paths, optimized thermodynamics, a slightly higher rated rpm and an exhaust system with even lower back pressure that all add up to an output of 750 horsepower.
The new Veneno is also 275 pounds lighter than the Aventador, so its performance numbers are quite stunning: 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 221 mph.
The engine is mated to an ISR manual gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive - all specifically adjusted to meet the demands of the Veneno.
