Audi - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - Current Audi R8 to stick with V-10 engine, no twin-turbo V-6 - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000


Image result for Current Audi R8 to stick with V-10 engine, no twin-turbo V-6


After patiently waiting for years, the twin-turbo-V-6 powered Audi R8 is officially dead. The R8’s project manager, Bjorn Friedrich, confirmed to Car Throttle in a Thursday report the current-generation of the supercar will stick with a V-10 engine. And that's the final answer.

"It's the best engine for the car," Friedrich said.

The executive's confirmation follows an Audi source who claimed the long-rumored twin-turbo V-6 was dead this past March. The possibility of a V-6-powered R8 first came to light in 2016. A leaked product roadmap showed such a powerplant was planned for the supercar's refresh. Audi revealed the updated 2019 R8 last month and no twin-turbo V-6 was in sight. That likely means the supercar as we know it will march to the grave with the 5.2-liter V-10 engine as the only choice. The twin-turbo V-6 would likely have been the 3.0-liter engine from the RS 5, where it makes 444 horsepower.

The V-10 in the 2019 R8 produces 570 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque, up from 540 hp and 398 lb-ft. In the R8 Performance model, it puts out 620 hp and 417 lb-ft of torque.

Audi PB18 e-tron concept

The R8's future is rather murky. Previous comments from an Audi executive pegged this as the final hurrah for the German supercar. In March, R&D boss Peter Mertens said there were no plans for a successor at that time.

Since then, rumors have swirled that a successor will arrive in the future, but possibly with an electric powertrain. Without a source, British publication Autocar said in a September report that a third-generation R8 would arrive for 2022 with a hypercar-like 1,000 or so horsepower.

Rumors of a new R8 also surfaced after Audi showed off the PB18 e-tron concept car at Pebble Beach this year. The PB18 previewed a future electric supercar.

We also know Audi plans for an e-tron GT production car. The electric super sedan will borrow heavily from the Porsche Taycan and ride on the brand's J1 electric-car platform. Audi will debut an e-tron GT concept at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show on Nov. 26.

Range Rover - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City -2018 Range Rover HSE Td6 first drive review: Tech overhaul, not tech overload - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000





The Range Rover has set a high bar for luxury SUVs. It was one of the first of its kind and few can compete with its ability to go anywhere, any time, in any weather in a leather-lined interior.

Introduced for the 2013 model year, the current Range Rover has aged with grace, but it is aging as new competition arrives in the form of Bentayga and Cullinan.

For 2018, Land Rover has given the Range Rover a tech overhaul with a handful of screens inside the cabin, a few updates on the exterior, and more luxury options than ever before. I spent a long weekend with the updated luxury liner to see if those changes spoiled the serene mood—if they were more tech overload than tech overhaul.

The Range Rover has elegant, even minimalist style, compared to the Bentley and Rolls SUVs, but it’s a look that has needed almost no updates. For 2018, the front fascia has been smoothed out and features new LED headlights. Like the Porsche 911, its design language has evolved over time, but the Range Rover still can be instantly recognized around the globe. Its squared body, rounded corners and upright traditional SUV stance have a timeless air. It’s far from flashy, but it has understated presence and class few vehicles can match.

2018 Land Rover Range Rover

Inside the Range Rover is where most of the upgrades took place for 2018. Fire it up inside a dark parking garage, and the glow of 32 inches of digital displays can be overwhelming.

The 12-inch digital gauge cluster was familiar enough. It does have odd touch-sensitive and clickable steering wheel buttons to control it but they’re not hard to figure out.

For true confusion, just look down at the twin 10-inch touchscreens mounted on the center of the dashboard. They control nearly every function in the Range Rover, and can be very confusing to navigate quickly without any previous exposure. It took about a day to become familiar with the setup, but making changes on the fly while driving down a highway never became easier.

2018 Land Rover Range Rover

The Td6 badge means a turbodiesel 3.0-liter inline-6 with 254 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque sits under hood; it sends power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Push the start button and the turbodiesel clatters to life with far more noise, and less bark, than one expects from a Range Rover. It’s like a silky-smooth pickup truck for the well-heeled individual without the associated vibrations in the steering wheel.

Mat the accelerator and the turbodiesel forgets any notion of turbo lag. It just grinds out a wave of low-end torque, one that feels pretty close to the Range Rover plug-in edition. Range Rover states 0 to 60 mph happens in 7.5 seconds, and that seemed about right.

Cruising at over 70 mph, the turbodiesel turned at less than 2,000 rpm, and the trip computer indicated an average of just over 25 mpg on the highway with four adults headed up and down the hills of the Pacific Northwest. That’s just shy of the 28-mpg EPA rating, and is impressive considering the Range Rover weighs more than two tons (4,958 pounds to be exact).

The thin-rimmed steering wheel points the Range Rover whichever way I want with slightly less weight than I would like, but it’s accurate and tracks down the highway well.

2018 Land Rover Range Rover

On the highway the Range Rover’s active lane control wasn’t as accurate or as active as Volvo’s ProPilot Assist, and doesn’t even come close to Tesla’s AutoPilot or Cadillac’s Super Cruise systems. The Range Rover’s sensors read the markings accurately, but didn’t provide any correction or steering input until the luxury barge started to veer out of the current lane.

Priced at $108,040, my tester was far from cheap and the competition at that price is fierce. A fully loaded Audi Q7 is less expensive, and a very well-equipped Porsche Cayenne is quite competitive, but it’s still a far cry from the price of a Bentley Bentayga—never mind the $325,000 base Cullinan price tag.

But nothing—and I mean nothing—carries the understated presence that the Range Rover does. For 2018, the Range Rover raises the bar for luxury SUVs with a healthy dose of modern, if not a bit overwhelming, technology.

Jaguar - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - Jaguar reportedly considering electric option for F-Type - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000


Image result for Jaguar reportedly considering electric option for F-Type



Jaguar is in the process of drawing up plans for its next F-Type and one of the options reportedly on the table is an available electric powertrain.

Autocar reported Tuesday that the next F-Type is due by 2021 and that an electric powertrain is just one of the options being looked at, though even if approved the zero-emission powertrain might not be available at the car's launch. To offset the weight of the batteries, the British magazine claimed Jaguar might utilize increased use of aluminum over steel in the construction.

The move would fit with rumors that Jaguar is also considering turning into a full electric car brand, starting with the next XJ. Offering an electric option on the F-Type would help bridge the gap.

Although there was talk early on about the F-Type turning into a mid-engined car for its redesign, it appears Jaguar has settled on a front-engined format possibly with a larger body for proper 2+2 seating. The move should help fill the void of the XK line.

It's also thought that Jaguar will replace its current 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 borrowed from BMW.

What's clear is that every powertrain offered in the next F-Type will offer some form of electrification, meaning a hybrid powertrain is likely. Jaguar Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth confirmed in 2017 that every model from the automaker launched from 2020 will feature some form of electrification.

An electric option for the F-Type could prove popular; the automaker announced in August an electric conversion for the E-Type after receiving a number of requests following the presentation of 2017's E-Type Zero EV concept.

Mercedes - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City- Daimler and Bosch self-driving cars will offer rides in Silicon Valley in 2019 - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000




Daimler and Bosch, two giants of the auto industry, have been jointly developing a self-driving system which they will be ready to trial in the second half of 2019.

The first of the trials will be run in the heart of Silicon Valley, specifically between downtown and west San José along the busy San Carlos/Stevens Creek corridor. With more than a million residents, San José is the third biggest city in California.

Crucially, the first trial will run just a few short miles from the headquarters of Apple and Alphabet Inc., two rivals competing in the self-driving car race.

The trial will be an on-demand ride-hailing service using self-driving car prototypes based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It won't be a public trial, though, as only select users will be able to hail a ride, via a dedicated app. And there will still be a safety driver behind the wheel for monitoring purposes.

Urban environment with self-driving cars

In addition to testing the self-driving system, the trial will look at how self-driving cars can be integrated into existing transport networks. It's still unclear how many cars Daimler and Bosch will deploy in the trial.

The two firms have teams working together on the complex software to control the self-driving cars, with Nvidia's Drive Pegasus chosen to provide the computing power. In addition, Daimler is tasked with integrating the software and hardware into cars, as well as providing the prototypes and test facilities. Bosch is tasked with handling the components specified during the development work, such as sensors, actuators, and control units. Both firms have been testing self-driving cars on public roads since at least 2013.

Daimler and Bosch announced in 2017 that they are working to develop a Level 5 self-driving system. However, the cars in the trial will operate at Level 4 capability. A Level 4 self-driving system can operate without a driver in select conditions. The conditions usually include operating within a pre-determined, sufficiently mapped area, known as geo-fencing, as well as within certain weather restrictions. The ultimate goal is the Level 5 system which can handle all conditions expected of a human.

Daimler and Bosch will face stiff competition from two frontrunners in the self-driving car race. Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo plans to launch the first commercial self-driving car service later this year in Phoenix, Arizona, while General Motors gears up to commercialize self-driving cars in 2019.

BMW - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - 2020 BMW 330e plug-in hybrid debuts with XtraBoost feature - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000




BMW on Thursday unveiled the plug-in hybrid version of its recently revealed eighth-generation 3-Series.
Donning the 330e badge of the outgoing 3-Series plug-in hybrid, the new car also features a similar powertrain to the model it replaces but delivers more power and electric range.

There's also a new feature called XtraBoost which is like a turbocharged engine's overboost, with extra power being piled on but only if there's sufficient charge in the battery.

The 330e's powertrain consists of a 2.0-liter turbo-4 working with an electric motor integrated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Drive is to the rear wheels only, just like in a standard 3-Series.

Peak output is 252 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, but the XtraBoost feature adds an extra 41 hp when the vehicle is in Sport mode and there's sufficient charge in the 12-kwh lithium-ion battery.

BMW quotes a 0-62 mph time of 6.0 seconds and a top speed 143 mph. With electric power alone, the top speed drops to 87 mph. BMW claims that the 330e's all-electric range will be 37 miles, but the EPA's final figure may be lower.

The 2020 BMW 330e will go on sale in summer 2019. Availability in the United States is yet to be announced but we should see it arrive for 2020. Also arriving for 2020 will be an M340i M Performance model, and we also expect the new 3-Series' Sports Wagon body style to arrive then as well.

Range Rover - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - Redesigned Land Rover Defender could spawn Sport, EV models - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000


Land Rover Defender Works V8



The beloved Land Rover Defender was sent to the automotive graveyard in early 2016 after decades of production. The good news is that a successor is in the works, and it's confirmed for an arrival in 2020.
The last Defender was in production for more than three decades and could trace its roots to the original Land Rover from 1948. Redesigning an icon is no easy task, and Land Rover has no intention of taking the easy route of simply updating the original design to meet the latest regulations, like what Mercedes-Benz did with its redesigned G-Class.

Land Rover wants its redesigned Defender to appeal to a much wider audience. The company will also introduce new variants to attract new customers. Previous reports peg Land Rover to be working on five different variants of the new Defender: closed and open three-door versions; a five-door version with third-row seats; and two- and four-door pickup versions.

Now CAR has added a Defender Sport and Defender EV to the mix. The British publication reported Wednesday that the Defender Sport will be more road-oriented than other Defender variants, and its production will happen at Land Rover's new plant in Slovakia, which currently builds the Discovery. It isn't expected until the middle of the next decade, though.

As for the Defender EV, Land Rover itself has hinted at the possibility with a concept based on the previous Defender. The concept was rolled out in 2013 and only had a range of 50 miles on a single charge. When asked about an electric Defender, Chris Marchand, executive vice president for Jaguar Land Rover North America, told Motor Authority in 2017 that electrified powertrains and off-roaders weren't mutually exclusive, seemingly dropping a potential hint.

The new Defender will be the first model based on a modular platform being developed at Jaguar Land Rover for its bigger vehicles. The decision to adopt the modular platform may explain the significant delay in the development of the new Defender. Recall, the tough-as-nails SUV was originally due in 2015.

Jaguar - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - Jay Leno shows off his first collector car, a 1954 Jaguar XK120 - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000






Jay Leno owns more cars than we could ever collectively hope to buy in our lifetimes, but there's one car that started his hobby. That is the Jaguar XK120.

Leno recalled the story that surrounds his love affair with the XK120 on a new episode of "Jay Leno's Garage." According to the comedian and car guru, when he was nine years old, he spotted an XK120 while riding his bicycle. After watching the owner polish the car for about 10 minutes, the man asked if Leno wanted to sit in the car. Star-struck, Leno said yes.

The avid car collector never forgot that car, and when he had begun earning money in the 1980s, he purchased the car seen in the video. It was the first of many more cars Leno would give a home to in his collection. But this car holds a special place in his heart.

Jaguar build the XK120 from 1948 to 1954. The XK120 was quite a wild thing when it debuted in 1948, as it offered amazing performance for the day. The British sports car pre-dates the Ford Thunderbird and Chevrolet Corvette, which made it truly exotic. The XK120 gets its name from the fact it could go 120 mph with its 3.4-liter inline-6 engine that provides 160 horsepower worth of gusto. Leno says he's actually pulled the original 3.4-liter engine in favor of a larger 3.8-liter engine from another Jaguar model. He also swapped the original transmission for a 5-speed manual.

The engine sounds glorious as Leno cruises around in the video. Otherwise, the car as Leno shows it is entirely stock.

As for the XK120 Leno saw as a child, the owner still has it. He even invited Leno to come see the car again, which has sat parked in a garage since the 1970s. Grab a look at Jay's prized possession in the video above.

Audi - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - 2019 Audi R8 debuts with sharper look, more power - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000




Audi Sport's second-generation R8 supercar is approaching the midway point in its life cycle and the car has been put under the knife to keep it looking and feeling fresh. There's also more power available thanks to upgrades to the car's 5.2-liter V-10.

The changes will be introduced for the 2019 model year, with the first examples of the updated R8 coupe and R8 Spyder expected in showrooms early next year.

Audi Sport gave us a preview at this month's 2018 Paris auto show with the reveal of the 2019 R8 LMS GT3 race car. The biggest change is the much more aggressive front end, with the grille made wider and flatter. There's also a gap between the headlights and intakes situated below, which take on a more angular shape compared to the intakes currently found on the R8.


Moving to the rear, Audi Sport's signature oval exhaust tips have finally been added to the car. The current model sports a set of square-shaped, quad-exhaust tips. Also at the rear you'll notice the new vent that spans the entirety of the fascia.

As mentioned above, there's more power available as well. Audi hasn't confirmed specs for the United States but in other markets output from the base V-10 jumps to 570 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, up from 540 hp and 398 lb-ft currently, while the range-topping V-10 in the R8 Performance (previously an R8 Plus) sees output rise to 620 hp and 417 lb-ft, from 610 hp and 413 lb-ft currently.
The engineers also tweaked the suspension and power steering for improved stability and more precise feedback. They also added a new 20-inch light alloy as an alternative to the standard 19-inch wheels. Carbon-ceramic brakes are also on the options list.

2019 Audi R8

The base R8 sprints to 62 mph from rest in 3.4 seconds while the R8 Performance achieves the same feat in 3.1 seconds.

To spice up the design of the engine bay, a new, three-part cover—available in a choice of plastic or carbon fiber—has been installed over the air filter. Other styling packages on offer will enable different accents to be added to the front splitter (available in carbon fiber), side blades and rear diffuser. Two new exterior colors have also been added to the list of options.

Look for the updated R8 range to debut in November at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show, more coverage of which can be accessed at our dedicated hub.

Mercedes - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City- Long-term plan for Maybach is still to offer standalone cars - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000

Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept


Mercedes-Benz has managed to swing its AMG family of cars into an entity that is capable of standing on its own. With the GT 4-Door Coupe and upcoming One hypercar joining the GT sports car, and possibly a new entry-level sports car on the way, too, AMG is slowly morphing into a standalone automaker capable of rivaling the likes of Ferrari and Porsche.

With Maybach, the plan is the same, in this case for the ultra-luxury segment, though management remains cautious given the previous failed attempt at reviving Maybach as a standalone brand.
Speaking to Autocar, Dieter Zetsche, head of Mercedes parent company Daimler, said he wants Maybach to "stand on its own two feet, like AMG." However, it means the ultra-luxury brand will first need to build up a strong base of vehicles based on existing Mercedes models before branching off on some Maybach-only machines, he added.

In fact, Maybach is already thinking that far in the future. Earlier in 2018, Maybach displayed a unique concept at the Beijing auto show. Called the Ultimate Luxury concept, it was a high-riding crossover-like sedan with an incredibly luxurious cabin space. A vehicle like this could be brought to reality after Maybach produces a few more S-Class variants and adds full-size SUV versions of the next-generation GLS.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet

There was also the stunning 6 Cabriolet concept unveiled in 2017.

Another angle that Maybach could include is the use of advanced powertrain options. Much like Aston Martin plans to do with its future Lagonda lineup, Maybachs could be used as technological showcases. With a top-tier luxury vehicle like this, it's less about driver engagement like it is on the AMG side of things.
A future Maybach could coddle its passengers in luxury while silently whisking them through an urban environment. The owner would sit in the back talking to a friend or spouse, or conducting whatever high-level business has afforded them such a lifestyle while the driver up front monitors the semi-autonomous driving features and remaining battery charge.

Maybach could become both a luxury and technical powerhouse for a brand that already does both well. That's because Maybach has always been about more. If Maybach pushes luxury and technology to new heights, then it could really prove a challenge to the more established ultra-luxury marques.

BMW - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - Best Car To Buy 2019 nominee: BMW M5 - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000


2018 BMW M5

2018 BMW M5


Like its smaller sibling, the M3, the BMW M5 is a legendary nameplate that has been a benchmark sport sedan for decades. Its luster faded in recent generations as BMW focused more on pure performance numbers than feel behind the wheel, but now things seem to be back on track.

New for 2018, the sixth-generation M5 has more power going to more wheels, more technology, and one less pedal than ever before. More importantly, it's more fun to drive than it has been in years.

Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8, the latest M5 cranks out 600 horsepower and 553 pound feet of torque. Those who want even more can opt for the Competition model that turns up the wick to 617 hp.

For the first time in history, the M5 can send power to all four wheels via its sophisticated new M xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Power can be shifted fore and aft to aid in traction, or the driver can choose to make the M5 a rear-wheel drive drift machine.

Buyers who prefer to shift their own gear will need a moment to weep, as it's an end of an era. All M5s are now equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and that's it.

Like previous generations, performance is improved. The 0 to 60 mph sprint takes just 3.2 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 189-mph top speed (unlocked with the M Driver's Package, a mere 155 mph without it).

Inside, the M5 has a dizzying number of performance settings, steering wheel controls, and even gearshift-mounted buttons to configure the power distribution. The environment is a combination of sportiness and luxury.

The 2018 BMW M5 is faster, better looking, and more technologically advanced than its predecessor. Most importantly, it brings back feel. The numb, digital feel has been replaced with a more analog, engaging experience. It's easier to tell what's going on with the front tires than it has been in years. The rear end is more than happy to follow along or do the work itself. An electronically controlled limited-slip differential helps put the power down and launch the car out of corners.

On the street, the standard 15.5-inch front brake rotors with 6-piston calipers are big and powerful, but those who plan to hit the track will want to opt for the $8,500 carbon-ceramic brakes. Bonus: The carbon ceramics also shed 51 pounds of unsprung weight.

The M5 is once again a dual-purpose car. It can be a track weapon or luxury car for a night on the town. On the right days, it can even be both.

Aston Martin - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - 2020 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Volante spy shots and video- Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000





A prototype for the open-top version of Aston Martin's Vanquish-replacing DBS Superleggera has been spotted.

The latest tester was spotted outside Aston Martin's AMR Performance Center at the Nürburgring, and the video below features some footage of the high-speed testing on the German racetrack itself.
To be called a DBS Superleggera Volante, the car closely resembles the DB11 Volanteon which it is based though its face is completely different, characterized by a much larger grille and lower vents. The hood is also unique and here too the vents are larger than what you get on the DB11.

Under the hood is Aston Martin's 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V-12. Peak output in DBS Superleggera spec registers at 715 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. That doesn't quite match the 789 hp of the Ferrari 812 Superfast but we hear a more potent DBS Superleggera AMR is in the works.

Other performance upgrades over the DB11 include track-tuned suspension and massive brakes with carbon-ceramic rotors. Downforce is also up, with the DBS Superleggera coupe turning in peak downforce of 397 pounds, the highest of any Aston Martin road car to date. Expect something similar for the Volante convertible.

And as the Superleggera portion of the name, Italian for “super light,” suggests, the car also benefits from some weight-saving mods, namely all-carbon fiber construction for the body. The core structure is Aston Martin's modular aluminum design that debuted in the DB11.

2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera

You'll find all of Aston Martin's usual luxury items inside the DBS Superleggera Volante. Looking at the interior of the coupe, we can expect sports seats lined in leather and Alcantara fitted as standard. The car will also come with a long list of standard equipment including keyless entry, a 360-degree view camera, parking aids, navigation and Wi-Fi.

The DBS Superleggera line is the third of seven models in Aston Martin's Second Century plan, the first two being the DB11 and redesigned Vantage. The next four will be an SUV in 2019, a mid-engine supercar in 2020, a Lagonda electric SUV in 2021 and a Lagonda electric sedan around 2023. Along the way there will also be limited-edition models like the Valkyrie hypercar and electric Rapid-E.

Look for the DBS Superleggera Volante to debut in early 2019 as a 2020 model. And fans of the Vanquish name shouldn't be saddened as Aston Martin isn't retiring it just yet. We'll see it on the mid-engine supercar.
