i am sorry but where is the distinction between this and the new i40 wagon? this is slightly more sporty with flared wheel arches and a bolder crease and tail lights but that's it. Hyundai's designs are starting to go the say way as audi with all this repetition. i don't mean that in a good way either
We don't know much officially about the Citroën DS4 R, whereas "R" stands for Racing, so we're not entirely sure if it's a showcar or the final production model, though the carbon fiber decoration on the front grille suggests it's the former.
The DS4 R follows in the footsteps of the DS3 Racing featuring aggressive yet chic bodywork with a modified front bumper, wheel arch extensions that house larger alloy wheels, side skirts, a roof spoiler and a new rear bumper with a central diffuser plus two tail pipes.
If the DS3 R is anything to go by, then the five-door DS4 R (don’t let the hidden rear door handles fool you) should also sport an upgraded interior along with a tuned chassis and a more powerful engine under its hood, possibly based on the 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged unit co-developed by PSA Peugeot-Citroen and BMW Group.
We should have more information soon, this time from Citroën, so stay tuned for more.
Another hat tip to our scooper Bruno Miguel P. S. Rodrigues!

The 2013 Maserati GranTurismo will make its first official appearance at the Geneva Auto Show next month. This time the venerated coupe will be introduced with even more power than its successor. A 4.7-liter V-8 engine rated at 460 horsepower will motivate the latest GranTurismo, up 27 more ponies from its predecessor.
For those of you actually keeping score at home, that’s 16 more horses than the GranTurismo MC. This can only mean one thing for the GranTurismo MC, a boost in overall power for Maserati’s normally strongest model. While Maserati hasn’t spilled all the beans about the powertrain upgrade quite yet, we expect a few minor modifications to the exhaust and engine control unit were made. No word yet on whether or not the six-speed automatic transmission will carry over from the prior model.
Not all changes were strictly made under the hood with the 2013 Maserati GranTurismo. Some cosmetic changes include redesigned seats and a steering wheel. The taillight housings have been darkened and also redesigned to include LED daytime running lights. The front-end saw a few more aesthetic changes than its counter-part from behind as a larger air dam makes the cut for the 2013 GranTurismo.
The official debut of the 2013 Maserati GranTurismo is still just under a month away but we expect more details to leak out before then. Stay tuned.

#gallery-1Think of the powwow known as the Geneva Motor Show as Europe’s Detroit venue. It’s on neutral soil, allowing automakers to each vie for the imaginary “Mine’s better than yours” award without alienating an automaker on its home turf.
BMW went pretty big at last fall’s Frankfurt Motor Show, but it appears the German automaker is following up with an even bigger array of new vehicle debuts in Geneva. Making its debut in Switzerland will be the 6 Series Gran Coupe four-door model; 560-horsepower M6 coupe; the high-performance M550d xDrive sedan and Touring wagon versions; the X5 M50d, X6 M50d, 3 Series xDrive and ActiveHybrid3 models; a handful of 1 Series models that have yet to debut in the U.S.; the refreshed 2013 BMW X6 and the i3 and i8 electric car concepts that debuted in Frankfurt.
Here’s a brief rundown of each debut:
