New Peugeot 309 In The Works; Spy Cams Get A Peek

New Peugeot 309 In The Works; Spy Cams Get A Peek

What would the successor to the Peugeot 308 hatchback look like? We haven’t had much info on the Peugeot 309, but now spy pictures have revealed some details of the new upcoming model.

Complete with the latest family grille, akin to what the 508 family model has been sporting, the new car would come christened the Peugeot 309. The model would be one among the 14 new cars that would arrive.

The Peugeot 309 is expected to be ready in the next five years’ time. Not much change in design and exterior is expected when compared with the 308. However, the 309 is likely to take off from the SR1 concept which we all got to see at the Geneva Motor Show this March.

Among the few alterations would be a jutting front bumper with LED running lights, deep grooves along the bonnet and subtle creases in the doors, says a report. We hear the car would be powered by 1.4 and 1.6-litre HDi diesel engines.

In all honesty, it doesn’t look as good as the Peugeot 508 we’ve seen a few days ago.

Fiat 500 Blackjack Special Edition For Key European Markets

Fiat’s new special edition 500 Blackjack has been outed. To be driven in to dealerships by September, the car would be made available in the European markets by then. We get to learn that Fiat would sell the high end version for prices starting at €18,350 in the Italian car market.

The Fiat 500 Blackjack will come with four different engines. The petrol variants will sport a 900cc TwinAir with 84 bhp (63 kW / 85 PS). The 1.2-liter with 69 bhp (51 kW / 70 PS), and a 1.4-liter with 100 bhp (75 kW / 101 PS) will be part of the pick. Meanwhile, the diesel variant would offer 95 bhp (71 kW / 96 PS) 1.3-liter Multijet II.

To be rolled out in matte black hues and glossy accents, the car will have 16-inch alloy wheels, and red brake calipers. Leather upholstery and silver trim will be part of the package. That’s a bit different than the Fiat 500 pink we’ve seen some time ago. Eh?

Lamborghini To Add Sports Car And SUV To Line Up

Lamborghini To Add Sports Car And SUV To Line Up

Lamborghini is set to roll out two entirely new models. The line up is to have a V8-powered entry-level sports car and another model – most likely an SUV. The V8-powered entry-level sports car is said to be likely to be positioned just below the Gallardo. This model will be Lamborghini’s attempt afresh to get back into the sports car segment. If you would remember, the car maker had in the 70s and 80s unveiled the Urraco, Silhouette and the Jalpa. These models were pitted against the Ferrari/Dino 308 GT4 and the Maserati Merak those days.

Meanwhile, the new upcoming SUV is said to take off from the LM002. The Lamborghini SUV might see itself positioned on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne and the VW Touareg. However, we might get to see the car in a distinct design when it arrives.
