This is the renewed Volkswagen Golf VII: More technology, equipment and new 1.5 TSI ACT

The seventh generation of Volkswagen Golf has just been updated. Just a few minutes ago the German company has presented the changes with which they will reach the dealers during the first few days of next year, highlighting mainly the advance in technology and security.

Aesthetically in Volkswagen they know that the Golf likes and much, and therefore they have not touched it too much. Yes it gets new front optics with a different LED light signature (bi-xenon is history), more aggressive bumpers in its forms, new alloy wheels, more eye-catching colors and LED tail lights.

Inside, the most important is the arrival of configurable digital instrumentation and the infotainment system with a touch screen of up to 9.2 inches with gesture control. The simplest units will be equipped with a 6.5 inch, which is an advance over the current 5 (we do not know if it will be in all markets).

As for the new entertainment systems, it has to be said that they include "digital" buttons aside for the main functions and in the case of the most complete the gesture recognition function is added to facilitate its use which, according to Volkswagen, Being very intuitive.

Of course elements like Apple Car Play, Full Link, Android Auto and APP-Connect will continue to be part of the available equipment as it has been happening for two years. Yes it is new the system Wi-Fi Hotspot and the possibility to control several elements of the multimedia equipment through the app with the mobile. The Security & Service system is something like the GM OnStar, making an emergency call in the event of an accident or breakdown, locating the vehicle in the event of theft, etc.

In terms of equipment, there is a driver's assistant in traffic jams, a pedestrian detector, an automatic emergency braking system, a trailer assistant while the Pre-Crash system has been updated. It logically maintains the already well-known lane change alert systems, adaptive cruise control or the blind spot detector.

For those who do not like to park are given the option of Park Assist 3.0 that in addition to finding the right place is capable of graduating the speed with which it performs the maneuver (with automatic box / DSG). Another new detail is that you can configure many functions to your liking with the key so that when entering the vehicle there are no changes. Air conditioning, ambient light, driver's seat position (with electrical adjustment only), etc are stored in memory.

As for the engines, the renewed Golf releases the 1.5 TSI Evo that we have heard so much in recent months. The BlueMotion variant develops 130 hp while the most powerful option maintains the 150 hp of the previous 1.4 TSI although consuming less when using a cycle derived from the Miller. Both are standard ACT system for selective disconnection of cylinders.

For the first time a signature non-hybrid engine is able to turn off the engine when it does not accelerate, advancing in "inertia" mode. It is assumed that the braking system and steering will feed the battery at those times when the engine is off but for now has not been qualified by the brand.

Another novelty affects the Golf GTI. The mythical model is offered with the engine 2.0 TSI but in variants with 230 and 245 CV of power. Also new is the DSG double clutch gearbox with seven speeds for all those compatible units, leaving out the previous six. Hold more torque than before and leave behind the oil-clutch to go "dry".

It is curious that Volkswagen has not reported the mechanical supply in diesel. We assume - again - that the 1.6 TDI will go from 110 hp to 115 hp or 120 hp while the 2.0 TDI will retain the 150 hp option. We have doubts about the most powerful since it could have 184 or 190 HP. Nor do they say anything about the basic blocks so we will have to wait for all the details.

Bultaco Linx: The first beast with steering wheel of the manufacturer after his rebirth will have up to 400 CV

This week has taken place in Milan the EICMA 2016 and among its many novelties there is one that has called our attention especially for its peculiarity. As you well know, the Spanish brand Bultaco is dedicated exclusively to electric motorcycles and e-Bikes after its recent rebirth 32 years after bankruptcy, or well, maybe I should say that was dedicated, because during the Italian meeting we were surprised with nothing less Than its new four-wheel division: Bultaco Cars.

Dubbed Bultaco Linx and with clear reminiscences to the KTM X-Bow, this sporty two-seater has a minimal frame and a central engine that develops no less than 400 hp of power to raze in the track days. Curiously, it is not only the first vehicle with a steering wheel in the history of this legendary Spanish firm, but it is also the only model with gasoline engine of the range.

On an aluminum chassis with detachable front and rear subframe, Bultaco has created a composite body whose dimensions amount to 3.975 mm in length, 1,965 mm in width and a wheelbase of 2,520 mm, thus placing the Linx to the height of others Vehicles of its category like the Ariel Atom, KTM X-Bow, Honda Project 2 & 4, Yamaha Sports Ride and BAC Mono. It is clear that with 400 hp in its entrails and a not inconsiderable weight of only 850 kilograms - with all liquids and the driver -, the Bultaco Linx will be a complete beast on the route.

Most striking of all is that this two-seater radical inherits the traditional internal combustion mechanics of the Seat Leon Cupra, a super-powered 2.0-liter four-cylinder block associated with a 6-speed DSG sequential gearshift that, according to the manufacturer, A power to customers to choose from various options in the range of 300-400 hp to enjoy in the open air pure sportiness, passion and fun.

With a weight / power ratio of almost 2 kg / hp, the Bultaco Linx, which inherits its name from the Iberian lynx, promises acceleration up to 100 km / h from standing in only 3.7 seconds and a self-limited maximum speed of 280 km / H. Not bad for a vehicle whose aspirations go through an abundance of power to offer speed, agility, dynamism and freedom in driving.

And so important is to accelerate and slow down, so the Linx has been fitted with Alcon-GALFER disc brakes with six-piston calipers and 326 mm ventilated discs for both axles. Unfortunately, we will not see it until the end of next year and its price will be somewhat higher than 100,000 euros.

A Range Rover Sport, 150 km / h, The Stig and a slope of the Swiss Alps Could be better?

We may just be accustomed to seeing a Range Rover Sport driving around our city and urban settings, perhaps on very rare occasions on some off road terrain but we are 100% sure that you have never seen a Range Rover Sport down a hillside. Swiss Alps at these speeds or with slopes of 75%. All a feat that could only be carried out by someone like Ben Collins, or maybe it sounds more if we talk about Stig, the former pilot of Top Gear.

This driver, specialist in carrying out the most incredible challenges of the planet behind the wheel of any vehicle has now demonstrated once again what it is capable of. In a short film made by the British brand with vertiginous planes and surely a significant sum of zeros behind we were able to accompany him in the very seat of the co-driver to hold his breath for a few seconds.

The circuit called "Inferno" is no less than one of the largest and most difficult ski slopes in the world, and the Range Rover completed its 14.9 km no less than in 21 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 150 km per hour. As expected this Range Rover received a number of safety modifications such as an overhead cage, safety harnesses or reinforced tires for terrain as abrupt as the Swiss Alps.

Mechanically the 4 × 4 of the English firm has maintained its supercharged 5.0 liter V8 engine delivering a whopping 503 hp. According to Collins, "This has really been one of the toughest tests I've ever faced in my entire career. The route was insane and certainly the most difficult route I have completed. I defied you with all kinds of obstacles. "

The Jaguar F-Type will have a version with diesel engine

Goodbye to the glamor and mechanical refinement in the F-Type ?. According to the latest spy images that have been published by some British media, Jaguar has since last April working on a diesel option for the beautiful F-Type.

It will not be the first time that a sports car is associated with a diesel mechanic to get the attention of those users looking for style, dynamism and lower fuel consumption. Examples are several such as the Audi TT TDI or Mercedes SLC250d.

The fact is that the Jaguar F-Type is situated in a higher step and we would never have thought of a possible diesel option. However it seems that in a few months will go on sale associated with the block 2.0d with four cylinders, something that we could also criticize (with six cylinders would be less "sacrilege").

According to Autocar, the new diesel would be being tested with many changes to sweeten its response, decrease the loudness and reduce vibrations, all to try to achieve a refinement similar to that of a block of gasoline.

Continuing with what the British teammates published, the F-Type 2.0d could have about 300hp of power and this would be enough to guarantee a very high level of performance. If you will finally see the light we will know next year, at which point you will receive your first facelift.
