The concept car in the picture here is a Peugeot which will respond only to its designated driver. It will respond to your fingerprints and your touch will perform various actions for you. The Peugeot “Touch”’s designer Enache Florin says:

“[The Peugeot Touch] has a light weight body that in some areas, like the doors, are placed touch-sensitive sensors and finger recognition. [These sensors ensure that] only the owner can use the car. Everything is opened [and activated] by touch. The lights compose symbols made out of LED’s, in this way the car has it’s own identity at night. This associates the car with its parent company, identifying it uniquely as the Peugeot Touch.”

Will this car ever be produced? Will you get one? What’s under the hood of that beauty?

We’re going to have to keep an eye on this Lamborghini. It might just be the car we’ll never be even close to buying. Nonetheless it looks great and it should be fast too. The Gallardo Super Trofeo has been officially taken out for a spin at the Vallelunga Race Track in Italy.

The car, said to be the fastest single-brand competition car will run in its first race on May 2 of next year at Silverstone. That 5.2L direct injection V10 engine will pop out 570 horsepower and it will be bundled with a six-sped gear box and all-wheel-drive. How does that sound for you. Too fast? We’ll know more in a little over 5 months from now!

The Farbio GTS 400 is a supercar which any of us would love to park from time to time in our driveways. Not to mention all the other things we’d do with it. The new V6 engine will get you 410 hp which is 26 hp more than the last one. Made out of carbon fiber this GTS will get you going.

Unfortunately besides being fast it also happens to be rather expensive. Priced at £94,000 or 110,000 Euro the Farbio GTS 400 will not let you down, but it will charge you for every minute of fun. The 180 mph, 0-60 in under 4 seconds kind of fun. And all that for 24 mpg. Well you can’t have everything, can you?

Until that happens, what’s your hybrid/electric car choice?

Remember when we told you how Porsche wants to buy that chunk of shares from Volkswagen and thus become the boss of VW? Well it looks like the whole economic crisis managed to prevent all that. Porsche will postpone taking the control of VW.

Wendelin Wiedeking, Porsche’s CEO still wants to buy VW but that will happen at some point in the future.

Well now isn’t that speedometer a totally new thing or what? Honda has this ECON Mode for us. What is it? It’s an Ecological Drive Assist System. It works with the CVT and engine to help you drive more fuel-efficient.

Here’s where the colors kick in. You get green when driving correctly and blue to really blue when you’re not thinking at all about your safe fuel consumption driving. When will the new system appear? Some time in 2009 so stay green until then!

This is without a doubt one of the best commercials I’ve seen in quite a while regarding driving safety. What better way to make you wear that seat belt of yours than to explain with clear details what will happen to you if you don’t.

So do you happen to usually wear your seat belt or did I just convince you to do it?

BMW might actually start manufacturing diesel 7-series for the American market since that seems a viable alternative to hybrids. American dealerships have asked for diesel 7-series and they might get it.

The 2009 sedans will come with a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 engine. What an engine right? But don’t be fooled by the appearances. A diesel with that thing under the hood will still be about 20-25% more efficient than its gas counterparts.
When will BMW officially announce the new diesels? I guess it’s just a matter of time!
