Pixar will use the public display to drum up interest in the forthcoming movie. In addition to a wealth of concept and show cars, the 2017 Detroit Auto Show will also play host to at least one movie-star car. Pixar Animation Studios announced today that it will hold a press conference ahead of the Detroit show’s start to provide an early peek at Cars 3 and to introduce a life-size version of one of the cars from the upcoming movie. In addition to the press conference, Pixar plans to establish a Cars -themed display on the auto show floor that will be on display through the show’s press, industry, and public days.

New Cars 3 trailer highlights Lightning McQueen’s 850-hp rival Jackson Storm
Jackson Storm is the new phenom in racing, and Lightning McQueen isn't necessarily ready for the challenge. After misses like Finding Dory and The Good Dinosaur , Pixar’s glittering reputation is starting to lose a little of its luster, but the latest trailer for Cars 3 suggests the animation studio has a winner on the way this summer. The latest clip largely focuses on Jackson Storm, the antagonist in the new movie, and Lightning McQueen’s efforts to keep up his speed against younger competition. We should know a lot more when Cars 3 premieres in the United States on June 16. The new trailer offers a little more opportunity to see on track action, but it largely uses the same shots from earlier clips promoting the movie. From the videos so far, the film’s plot appears to focus on McQueen suffering a massive wreck while racing Storm.

2015 Audi R8 breaks cover
Following yesterday's leaked photo, Audi has finally taken the wraps off the second generation R8 supercar which will receive its public premiere next week in Geneva. Following yesterday’s leaked photo , Audi has finally taken the wraps off the second generation R8 supercar which will receive its public premiere next week in Geneva. Embodying the pure definition of an evolutionary styling, the overhauled R8 has received a familiar singleframe front grille with a honeycomb pattern flanked by standard flat LED headlights or optional laser lighting clusters which double the range to 600 meters. The side profile shows curved contours and a prominent shoulder line interconnecting the wheels and also dividing the side blades in two which according to Audi makes the car look longer and more dynamic. Moving at the back, the LED taillights also adopt a flat configuration and sit above generously sized air inlets providing a muscular appearance. There's a retractable rear … [Read more...] about 2015 Audi R8 breaks cover
Base Porsche Taycan EPA Range Revealed: 200 To 225 Miles
But the AMCI independent range test shows 252 miles and 282 miles of range. Porsche has recently revealed expected EPA Combined range numbers for its new, entry-level Taycan model, announced in January . Depending on the battery version, the least expensive Taycan will get 200 miles (322 km) with a 79.2 kWh battery or 225 miles (362 km) with a 93.4 kWh battery. Porsche calls the smaller battery the "Performance Battery" and the larger battery the "Performance Battery Plus." Those results are very similar to the Taycan 4S version (all-wheel drive), while we expected slightly higher values ( just like in the WLTP test cycle , in which the standard Taycan is the top in terms of range).
