On the second place, driver Bill Griffiths in his Roesch 1936 Talbot BG followed 17 minutes later and the third place is dominated by Martin Wilson with his Jaguar 1934 SS Special. He dropped to the third place because of the technical issues with his ride. But the overall competition aspect of this 2012 Targa Tasmania is very exciting and fu to watch.

By on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 | No Comments

About 12 months ago, SEAT that has been owned by Volkswagen announced that they were officially going to enter China for the first time to compete with other brands from all over the world. Unfortunately, if compared with other brands, SEAT is including the one that is not too popular in China. Because of that reason, they want to build up a brand image using auto expos that are held in the country. At the Beijing Motor Show this year, SEAT will try to increase their popularity by bringing a performance-oriented concept namely the 2012 SEAT Ibiza Cupra Concept, which is the latest in a long line of SEAT’s hot hatches.

From its sporty grille and aggressive front bumper, we can recognize that the SEAT Ibiza Cupra is distinguishable from models that are more run-of-the-mill. As identity, SEAT puts a mode-specific Cupra badge on the grille. The rear bumper is unique because it brings an air diffuser that incorporates a chrome trapezoidal exhaust pipe. A set of 17-inch alloy wheels that are mounted on low profile tires give the Cupra a sportier look.

Another radical difference between the standard and the Cupra model is covered under its body. The new model rides on a track-tuned Cupra chassis that will give driver a sportier driving feel. However, the interior design of the Cupra is still roughly the same with the standard one; the only differences are just its steering wheel, bucket seats and gauges that were claimed by SEAT will be easier to read.

The juice that enters the electric motor is coming from a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery mounted at the backside of the car. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain gives the car opportunity to travel up to 50 miles using electric system alone and running under 37 miles per hour. The electric motor will give extra power to the gasoline engine if driver needs it. But, if it is needed, the Audi A6 L e-tron can also run exclusively on gasoline.
