Internet Find of the Week: BMW E9 3.5 CSi

With so many cars being featured on the internet every week, we have decided to feature one such car on AutomotiveAddicts.com for our readers to enjoy.  This week is a rare gem from Bavaria.

There is little known of this specific example of an E9 coupe, except the following quote, “3.5 (M90) motor with CR dogleg and 3.07 lsd.”  A google search revealed the photographer’s facebook, but the option to message him was turned off.  If anyone has any more info, or if the owner steps forward, we’d love to know more, as we have been unable to stop drooling since we first saw the shots 10 days ago.  Thanks in advance for the help, and if you don’t have any information, just enjoy the view, as its getting rarer and rarer to see one of these in such immaculate condition.

Spyshots: 2012 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Successor

The test mule was again spotted, but still nothing is really known about this perticular model driving around near Modena.

You will definitely spot the bulge on the hood, but what it exactly holds is unknown. The rumours suggest this model is due for 2012 and is in the early phase of testing. However, previous stories suggest Ferrari is developing a hybrid system or even a new V12 engine with a twin turbo setup. WorldCarFans even suggests it could be that Fiat’s MultiAir system is temporarily fitted to this test mule in order to see how much performance enhancement can be pulled from that. Read more

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe: New Images Introduced

The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe is sure to be a car that gets a second look after the demise of the CLK. Some people have been begging for an E-Class coupe while others rather could care less about yet another Mercedes-Benz model added to the already flooded linup.

Of course the new E-Class Coupe will offer virtually the same flavors as the E-Class sedan starting with the E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY (Diesel) up to the E500 Coupe with a 388 horsepower powerplant. Wonder if they will have an actual AMG version instead of just an “AMG package”?

The E-Class coupe will be introduced at the Geneva Auto Show which Mercedes-Benz plans on being one of the FEW entrants (who didn’t drop out) in this year’s show.

Below is the press release for the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe

Super Bowl XLIII Commercial: 310hp Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Update (Super Bowl XLIII Hyundai Genesis Commercial Posted here): Edit Your Own: Hyundai Genesis Superbowl Commercial

He goes long… Touchdown! Hyundai scores big with commercial spots during the upcoming Super Bowl XLIII. In the commercials will be the all new 310ho Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Of course guys watching the Super Bowl will undoubtedly be interested in a new “muscle car” but what about a Hyundai?

This is not your every-day run-of-the-mill Hyundai here folks. This is the Genesis Coupe packing 310 ponies through the rear wheels.

What a way to target the new Genesis Coupe potential buys, place not one, but many commercials during THE SUPER BOWL.

Hints are circulating that the commercials will have championship winning driver Rhys Millen, who is famous for drifting and a Pike’s Peak world record, driving a new Hyundai Genesis Coupe performing precise driving maneuvers with some “hip” music playing in the background. The course used will be Road Atlanta so we expect this one to be all-so-familiar if we are into the SCCA scene. Maybe Hyundai will offer a SCCA membership like Subaru does… maybe?!?!

Speculation is that Hyundai will be paying about $6 million for one minute of advertising the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. So in other words, this car better sell!
