GLOBAL CAR MARKET STUDY BY POLK LIGHT VEHICLE SALES TO DECLINE 15 IN 2009
Global Light Vehicle Sales to Decline 15% in 2009, says Polk Study.
Study shows worldwide volumes wont return to pre-crisis levels until 2012.
R. L. Polk & Co.s latest market study released today predicts that the automotive market wont emerge from the worldwide recession until 2012, later than previously forecast, due to worsening economic conditions. The study further predicts that Global light vehicle sales will decline 14.7 percent from 2008 levels to 55.2 million units in 2009.
Key Findings:
• Emerging Markets Have Greatest Growth Potential
• Asian Automakers Gain Market Share in U.S.
• Scrappage and Tax Incentives Provide Short-Term Help for Saturated Markets
• Toyota Maintains Position as the Top Manufacturer
Long-term growth for the global automotive market will come from the "emerging" markets of Latin America; Central and Eastern Europe; Africa and the fast-growing Asia-Pacific/Middle Eastern region (excluding the developed market of Japan). Beginning in 2015, Polk expects more light vehicles will be sold in the aggregated emerging markets than in the combined "saturated" markets of the United States, Canada, Western Europe and Japan.
"We see China and India as key drivers of growth, as vehicles become attainable for an increasing percentage of these countries huge consumer populations," said Uwe Biastoch, director of global forecasting at Polk. "Like Tata Motors with the recent launch of the low-cost Nano in India,manufacturers that innovate and produce market-specific products will be successful in emerging markets," said Biastoch.
These emerging markets will come out of the current crisis three years earlier than the saturated regions. Light vehicle sales in the emerging markets will top 2007 levels in 2011; this wont happen until 2014 in the saturated regions.
The U.S. has been hard-hit by the economic crisis, and new vehicle sales have dropped from a high of almost 17.5 million in 2000 to 13.2 million in 2008, with a further decline to 10 million projected for 2009. Polk predicts that 2009 will mark the end of U.S. market share dominance for the domestic automakers: Asian manufacturers will capture 47 percent of U.S. market share, compared to 44 percent for American automakers and 9 percent for European brands.
Western Europe will fare better than the United States and Canada in the short term, in large part because of scrappage incentives introduced in countries including Germany and Italy. Light vehicle sales in Western Europe will fall 9 percent from 2008 to 2009, compared to 24 percent in the United States and Canada during the same timeframe.
"The U.S. market is currently in a state of flux, with the impact of Chryslers Chapter 11 filing yet to be realized and GMs fate uncertain. It also remains to be seen whether the Obama administration will follow the lead of some European countries and reward consumers who turn in old vehicles and purchase cleaner cars, and what the impact of such a fleet modernization initiative might be," said Ulrich Winzen, chief analyst at Polk.
Worldwide, Toyota will maintain its position as the top manufacturer, with a fairly stable market share of 12 percent through 2020. Ford and General Motors have both seen their global market share drop by nearly five percentage points from 2000 to 2008, and Polk expects both to lose more market share through 2012. Volkswagen, on the other hand, will gain almost a point of market share in the next three years. "Volkswagen is making great inroads in China, which will certainly boost its success worldwide. At some point in 2009, we expect Volkswagen to surpass GM as the number two manufacturer in the world, although the race will be close," said Biastoch. "The trend could change temporarily to GMs benefit if the proposed U.S. scrappage incentive passes."

BMW’s new twin turbo V8 N63
BMW has already trademarked the “555i” badge, so we can assume the first installation will take place in the 5 series, with the BMW 555i sitting below the M5. But the N63 engine’s application could range from the X5 to the new X6 as well as the 7 series.
Some have even suggested that perhaps it may find itself in the 3 series, but that would seem unlikely as it would sit above the M3.
Early reports suggest the N63 puts out roughly 300kW of power and over 610 Nm of torque. BMW, being BMW, couldn’t simply attach two turbo chargers in the traditional sense, instead, the new engine uses a new concept for the location of the turbos.
The two turbochargers are placed in the “V” section of the engine while the air-intakes are moved to the sides of the block. BMW says this process reduces overall engine size.
The intercoolers are also utilising an air-to-water system allowing for much better induction and a shorter air path to the engine.
Not much else is known about the 555i or any of the models blessed with the V8. The 5 series should receive the new model and a minor update as part of its life cycle towards the end of May (Europe).
BMW Australia spokesman Toni Andreevski told CarAdvice that so far the new engine has only been confirmed for the X6 xDrive50i which arrives into Australia in January next year.

Porche 918
The Carrera GT was a great car. Wonder what might have been the expectations from its replacement! But Porsche, from the looks of things, might have hit the bulls eye with their latest hypercar- the 918. It looks fabulous and is the first plug-in hybrid car from Porsche. It is immediately recognizable as a Porsche, courtesy the front end which showcases Porsches 911 heritage.
Highlights:
-4.9 litre V8 gasoline engine producing 580 horsepower, supplemented by 2 electric motors delivering an additional 218 horsepower.
-Only 3L/100km fuel economy claimed.
-Carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque chassis.
-1,490 kilograms (3,300 lb).
-0-62mph dash in less than 2.9 seconds.
-Top speed over 210 mph(330 km/h).
When it will be released, it will see competition from hyper cars such as the McLaren P1, the LaFerrari and the Lamborghini Veneno.
The Porsche 918 Spyder is a mid-engined sports car designed by Porsche and first shown as a concept at the 80th edition of the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. The Spyder is powered by a 4.6 litre V8 engine, developing 580 horsepower (430 kW), with two electric motors delivering an additional 218 horsepower (163 kW). It is the first plug-in hybrid car from Porsche. Porsche later announced a limited production of the vehicle.
At NAIAS 2011, Porsche unveiled the RSR racing variant of the 918, which combines hybrid technology first used in the 997 GT3 R Hybrid, with styling from the 918 Spyder.
Spyder
The 918 Spyder is a mid-engined two seater sports car, designed by Michael Mauer, that is powered by a 4.6 liter V8 engine (580 hp/430 kW) which is a development of the engine used in the RS Spyder Le Mans Prototype racing car. This is supplemented by two electric motors delivering an additional 280 horsepower (210 kW). The transmission is a 7-speed gearbox coupled to Porsches own (PDK) double clutch system delivering power to the rear axle. Two electric motors drive the front wheels directly through a fixed ratio while a third electric motor is connected to the transmission and gives additional power to the rear wheels. This gives the 918 Spyder a 0–100 km/h time in just under 2.9 seconds, which is faster than Nissans GT-R and Lamborghinis mighty Aventador, and a top speed of over 330 kilometres per hour (210 mph). The energy storage system is a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery positioned behind the passenger cell. In addition to the plug-in recharge the batteries can also be charged by regenerative braking and by excess output from the engine when the car is coasting. CO2 emissions are 70 g/km and fuel consumption is 3 L/100 km (94 imperial mpg/78 us mpg). The 918 Spyder offers 4 different running modes: E-Drive allows the car to run under battery power alone, using the rear electric motor only, giving a range of 20 miles (32 km). Three hybrid modes (Hybrid, Sport and Race) use both the engine and electric motors to provide the desired levels of economy and performance. In Race mode a push-to-pass button is available to deliver additional electrical power.
The chassis is a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque. Magnesium and aluminium are extensively used in the construction of the car which helps keep the 918 Spyders weight down to 1,490 kilograms (3,300 lb).
On July 28, 2010, after 2000 declarations of interest, the Supervisory Board of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, gave the green light for series development of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The 918 will be produced in a limited series. It will be developed in Weissach and assembled in Zuffenhausen.
RSR
At the 2011 Auto show in Detroit, Porsche unveiled the RSR racing variant of the 918 Spyder. Instead of using plug-in hybrid technology, power for the two electric motors is provided by a flywheel accumulator KERS system that sits beside the driver in the passenger compartment. The V8 is a further development of the direct injection engine from the RS Spyder race car developing 563 horsepower (420 kW). The electric motors on the two front wheels each provide an additional 102 horsepower (76 kW), giving a peak power output of 767 horsepower (572 kW). The six speed gearbox is a development of the unit from the RS Spyder.
Video games appearances
The Porsche 918 Spyder in Need for Speed: Most Wanted(2012)
The 918 Spyder is subject to numerous video games appearances, most notably in several games of the third generations of Need for Speed series. It was originally featured in the game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit as a drivable vehicle. Unlike the other Porsche cars featured in the game, it is not available in a police livery. It was later featured in Shift 2: Unleashed, Need for Speed: Most Wanted(2012) and Need for Speed: The Run (The Run only featured the RSR variant).

Piaggio X7 125
 |
| All around a Gran Turismo - the styling is sporty-looking, though not a design milestone. |
Piaggio sets before us the X7 a fresh Granturismo scooters in the single cylinder class. An intersection, ie its a crossover, City of agile and comfortable high-wheel scooter that is good for picnic trips to the (near) Green. And priced in the context remains.
GT by Piaggio scooters have tradition. See XEvo 400i.e. and X8 400i.e. (Or 250) - maxi scooter with big wheels, a comfortable suspension, comfortable seat and neat storage, windshield included, with which you can go to smaller and longer trips. What especially the Italians particularly depart. Increasingly, the Austrians.
It takes just an A-certificate for this fellow. Until now it was indeed at the Piaggio X8 125 for those who do not have the big two-wheel cover. But the costs almost € 4,000. When asked, "whats there not also Cheaper, More compact?"s Has been no response. Now, in the 2008 model year, but already. The X7 is costing at least € 500 less and may even much.
What we have looked at in the mixed program. First observation: Truly compact not the X7. He looks pretty powerful, with just under 170 kilos not exactly a featherweight. Nevertheless, he met the Agilitätsanspruch sovereign holds also far from any Kippeligkeit. With a moderate 790-mm seat height and narrow in the front seat, he is also respected by delicately built man too easily under control.
From the drive, the 15 hp, four-valve, one must not expect any power explosion. Prompt and sound the inaugural Nevertheless it is the single-cylinder engine - the fuel supply is in the upright Euro 3 compliance on carburetor - affords no pause for reflection and provides appealing draft.
The power goes into the city from anyway, on motorway stretches you stick to just over 100 km / h top speed anyway better in the right lane (on the odometer sometimes were 120 km / h, which remains after "withdrawal of the measurement tolerance," likely about 110 are). He swallows not so little by now very expensive juice. About four liters per 100 kilometers. Nevertheless, one must not drive any gas station, the tank is big enough and good for 250 kilometers and more coverage.
Sportsmanship will be - as in the automotive world - in the scooter segment like to as a selling point. The seating position is rather kommod. Nevertheless, theres direct contact with the front wheel, a feeling for what is happening on the front is, a fast. The turn-in precision fit, and the balance, you can effortlessly through angles between jammed cars, without getting to the eggs or Geigeln.
The same applies for the cornering stability.
It is not necessary to go as badly dented on Southeast tangent approaches and departures from the gas. The chassis provides a good compromise between comfort and taut. Bumps ironed out the suspension away to encounter or produce without even swaying.
Off the track, the X7 gallops even at worst road conditions, even if it always feels exactly what / what you are. Although there is considerable attack surface crosswind & Co. have an easy time with him, he remains on the side so wild gusts coming largely unimpressed.
Little snappy feel to the brakes. You have to pull the lever on the right vigorously. The effect then arises, however, a prompt. Habituation thing. Employees at the left lever can not hurt, anyway. But unreliability must be the anchors in place by no means.
A standard argument for scooter is storage space. Of course some of them X7 offers. Fit under the seat, even though at first glance does not look like a helmet (but preferably without spoilers and other extensions) and a jet helmet. Or a laptop. Or whatever. On the front panel theres a solid hook. Too large, especially for long there should not be transported pockets as possible, so they do not rest on the center tunnel. Otherwise you would have to fix them with his feet. In addition, in these same Fronverkleidung a compartment is integrated engulfs more than just a pair of gloves. Drawback: The lid is not locked and only engages with some emphasis.
What else is on the X7 offers GT-dowry? A windshield. Which is connected to the handlebar, as well as the fittings fixedly. At first she sucks a little. Is one medium size one has to make the choice between a hollow back and sit upright to about it or hump to scroll through. The second option is a slightly distorted and discolored - resist environmental image - because the disc is smoke. The disc edge is in any case always and everywhere in sight.

The second option is a slightly distorted and discolored - resist environmental image - because the disc is smoke. The disc edge is in any case always and everywhere in sight.
What there is not is a side stand. In return, the X7 can be really easy to hoist the main stand. Them back down also. When ignition was saved. The opening and closing operation is not a key-press and rotary system, but is done by pressing the ignition lock. With your finger. Therefore emphasis is required. Or an instrument. For example, the blunt end of the key. The passenger bases his knuckles on a footrest but not on an integrated footrest. A trip recorder Piaggio waived. On an electronic immobilizer also. What there is additionally: including a 44 liter top box. If that is not at hand, it can be all sorts of things strap back on it: Big boxes are about, wrapped in the electrical appliances. Tried. It worked.
The styling Piaggio designated as dynamic. Maybe so. This is a matter of taste. The X7 is not unfesch. Compared to his brothers Group - Vespa, Gilera, Derbi - but it is styled more conventionally. This is also reflected in the available in our colors: black, silver, white. Its just at Piaggio bissl as the Fiat group. The Fiats are also more likely to Hackler. With exceptions.
