Is it my imagination or can I see a little centre sunvisor on the front view pics of the Ibiza? That settles it, I will have to have one.

LoL - My friend was in my car yesterday afternoon and noticed me pulling it down, he said "Sack climate control and all that garbage, that is genius!"

They're a nice idea in theory, but I found mine to be a complete waste of time in practice!

check out this awful photoshop, based on the latest spypics and some Hyundai:

:wtf:


Based on these Hyundai-pics:

Not the best impression, in my opinion... the horizontal camoflage-lines on the side are still there, as well as the fake plastic bump-guards on the doors...

p.s

audi have made a 150hp 1.4TFSI engine. Could possibly feature in the next beeza. Peak torque from 1600rpm.

Chassis wise the next beeza could share with the Audi A1, for outstanding handling dynamics is supplied by the sophisticated chassis design, comprising McPherson front suspension and four-link independent rear suspension.

Ohhhhh, it's not all 1.4 TFSI in that tho. I was reading an article on Auto Express about this car. It has the 1.4 TFSI up front powering the 2 front wheels, and an electro hybrid motor with over 320Nm of torque / 45BHP to the rear wheels. That will explain the high torque that is delivered low down. It is however only a concept vehicle, and will unfortunatly not make it to production with the electro-hybrid drive, instead opting for a 2.0 TFSI to power up the "hot hatch" 4WD one.

The full name for the car is the A1 Metroproject. According to the guy who test drove it, it flies to 62 in 7.1, has about 130 CO2, and, the power is instant when the electro-hybrid thingie kicks in. It all sounds very clever and techno, and I want one if just for it's uber gorgeous looks alone!

Well the way I read it the engine itself pumps out 150hp and 240nm of torque, and the electric motor then adds another 40hp and 200nm of torque on top of that when its in use.

But seeing as maximum torque comes in at 1600rpm that would mean 440nm, meaning the engine itself would have to give out max torque at 1600rpm electric engine included or not. The electric engine itself is at full capacity at 1200rpm, whilst the engine is only giving out 80% max torque at that rpm!

i second that.... but i got my hands on a 07 plate Fr while i can :)
Ditto - I jumped on the chance for a Cupra as soon as my finances were straightened out. Given the way the new beezer is shaping up, I may be keeping my Cupra for some time!

Thanks for clearing up the figures - I read over the article half asleep, and only took 40% of it in. Spent most of the time admiring the picture gallery :doh:

i read that the Ibiza was having the new 180bhp 1.4 tsi engine, using smaller cap in the smaller car as easier to drop emssions down thus bringing group avwerage down. there was talk of the new 1.8T going in em all but that seems to have been silenced.

Also that Audi, i'm sorry but did somebody shout Citroen C3 pluriel in the design room.
