So don’t despair if it’s ugly, because at least it’s slow efficient. It’s got a 2.4 liter four-banger that makes 192 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 162 lb-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM.

It makes considerably less power than the 270hp V6, but on the upside it has an average fuel economy of 21mpg city and 29mpg highway, which is good compared to the V6′s 18mpg city and 27mpg highway.

What’s more you pay $2,500 less for the four-cylinder. Standard equipments of this model include automatic headlights, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and USB audio interface, a rear-view camera, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

Will this new model be able to help the Crosstour’s sales? We don’t think so because it still looks $#%*.

But BMW can be proud of the fact that they’re the first to launch a car with such three turbocharger with the new M Performance Automobiles models. Porsche will probably be the next introducing the tri-turbo in the upsoming 911 Turbo.

There’s nothing wrong with the curretn twin-turbo system, but adding a third one will not only make the system more powerful, it also helps with the acceleration and fuel economy. A small turbo will be located close to the engine for more low rpm grunt to support the output of the two larger ones.

The Porsche 991 Turbo is expected to have around 525hp, the same as today’s Turbo S. The new tri-turbo system will also be used in the next GT2 and GT2 RS models.

The package costs £3,250 for A6 models and £3,750 for the A7 Sportback, saving at least £1,085 when compared with specifying the options individually. It combines up to nine different features including Google Earth navigation mapping, in-car Wi-Fi and the Audi pre-sense multi-level safety system.

It’s like an all-in-one package with the best of what Audi technology department has to offer right now.

The list of entertainment and information enhancements included in the Technology Package Advanced includes MMI navigation plus with the MMI Touch fingertip recognition system, a colour Driver’s Information System, Audi Music Interface iPod connection and a Bluetooth mobile phone interface giving access to Google Earth navigation maps and creating an in-car Wi-Fi hotspot. In the A7 Sportback, this list is also supplemented by a sophisticated head-up display which projects navigation and entertainment information onto the windscreen so that it appears to float around two metres ahead of the car.

The online services are particularly amazing, especially the MMI navigation plus that utilizes Nvidia 3D graphics to provide you with most realistic maps on the car’s main screen. Another remarkable feature is the fingerprint recognition. The driver can enter a destination or a telephone number by drawing letters and numbers on the touch-sensitive control panel with a finger.

In its third successive year, Kuwait Concours d’Elegance will host the finest automotive art from over 19 countries. Aston’s decision to unveil the Zagato V12 at the event is partly due to its prestige, and partly because this year it is supported by Premier International Motors Group, Aston Martin’s dealer partner in Kuwait.

The V12 Zagato was first unveiled at the 2011 Villa D’Este Concours on Lake Como, as a concept to celebrate Aston and Zagato’s reunion. It is based on the V12 Vantage and powered by the same V12 engine (510 bhp (380 kW / 517 PS), and 570 Nm (420 lb ft) of torque) as well, but features a Zagato designed body with exquisite details.

Due to the overwhelming interest shown in the car last year, Aston decided to put it in production, but only in a limited number of 150 units, each priced at a staggering £330,000 GBP. Aston Martin will sure receive a number of orders from Arab collectors at this Kuwaiti event.

Dr Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin said “We are excited to show the new V12 Zagato for the first time in production form at the Kuwait Concours d’Elegance. Over 50 years since the introduction of the iconic DB4GT Zagato, Aston Martin and Zagato have collaborated to create this modern interpretation which remains true to the original focus of craftsmanship, performance and exclusivity.”
