2009 BMW M7 Rendering: Think They'll Build One?

Sure we could have built a nice story around the above rendering that was created by Autojunk member Mac90, but if you want our opinion, the answer to the question is most likely 'nein'. See, while there has been talk over the years for the introduction of an M7 that would target the Mercedes-Benz S-Class AMG and Audi S8 models, BMW officials have never actually taken the matter seriously and from the looks of it, they probably never will. -Continued

Plus, let's not forget that the Bavarian automaker has already admitted that it is working on a production version of the CS four-door-coupe concept that was previewed at last year's Shanghai Auto Show in China. It wouldn't make much sense for BMW to have both the CS and the M7 in its lineup.

Renault UK Announces Laguna Coupe Pricing

Following its world show debut in Paris earlier this month, the new Laguna Coupe will be available for order in the UK from mid-November with first deliveries expected to arrive in dealerships in January 2009. The Laguna Coupe that launches with seven versions spread across two trim levels (Coupe and Coupe GT) is priced from £20,995 to £27,995. At launch, four engines will be available, evenly split between petrol and diesel: 2.0-liter Turbo 205HP and 3.5-liter V6 240HP, followed by the 2.0-liter dCi 150JP and 2.0-liter dCi 180HP. -Continued

According to Renault, at £22,345, the entry-level petrol, Coupé 2.0 Turbo 205HP undercuts its equivalent BMW rival, the 325i SE Coupe, by a significant £6,805 at list price, even without taking into account its additional £1,000 worth of standard equipment.

The basic trim level's standard features include an Arkamys 3D Sound 140W audio system with MP3 CD reader and Bluetooth, 18-inch 'Interlagos' alloy wheels, eight airbags, automatic lights and wipers, dual zone climate control, electric heated door mirrors, MP3 player connection, rear parking sensors, Super Fold rear seat system, twin chrome exhausts (except 2.0 dCi 150 manual) and xenon headlights.

The range-topping Coupe GT benefits additionally from Renault's 4Control chassis, first seen on GT versions of New Laguna Hatch and Sport Tourer, as well as from the 18-inch 'Celsium' alloy wheels, cruise control, automatic parking brake, electrochrome rear view mirror, electrically heated and folding door mirrors, GT leather steering wheel, leather upholstery (choice of beige, dark carbon, light grey or 'camel'), Renault Hands Free keycard and speed limiter.

New Carlsson CK63 S: A Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG on Steroids

The new Carlsson CK63 S is yet another proposal for those who look at Merc's AMG models and see nothing more than underpowered four-door saloons. Taking the C63 AMG as a base, Carlsson's engineers developed a performance kit that boosts the serial output of the 6.3-litre V8 from 457HP to 565HP while the torque significantly increases from 600 to 685 Nm. The German tuner claims that the CK63 S needs a mere 3.8 sec to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62mph) instead of the serial 4.5 sec. The sport sedan's top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h or 187mph. -Continued

To help put the additional power on the road in a sensible manner, Carlsson has developed a sport coil-over kit that offers step-less height adjustment and individual settings for the damping characteristics with which the driver can regulate the setup according to his preferences. If you're willing to push your hand deeper into the pocket, Carlsson also offers an optional torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up.

Moving on to the vehicle's styling, Carlsson's aerodynamic kit consists of a front spoiler, the front spoiler lip and a rear spoiler which are made of high-quality PUR or optionally real carbon. The kit is complemented by a set of lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels. As for the interior, it all depends on how much you're willing to spend as Carlsson compiles various components to an individual mix, from a sport steering wheel to leather interiors or multi-media accessories.

2010 Ford Mustang GT Scooped in Parking Lot

The clock is ticking for the 2010 Ford Mustang that will make its world debut at next month's LA Auto Show. But while Ford is constantly teasing us with cryptic shots, a member of an internet forum somehow stumbled upon the new 'Stang at a parking lot in Michigan and luckily for us, he took a few pictures to share with the world. The 2010 Mustang seen here is the GT version that will most likely get a 'good-old' V8 engine though we have heard rumors that Ford might also offer the GT with its new twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine. More pics after the jump. -Continued
