Come macchina veramente bellissima, manca solo un motore vero, per esempio un bel V10 5.2 aspirato ?

qui a Mirafiori alla linea ex-MiTo sono abituati a cifre piccolissime di 30-50 uniti al giorno, cosi perfetto per una 500e ??

Il retrotreno multilink non dipende in diretta dalle ruote, il multilink fa parte del pacchetto "Technik-Paket" codice PAD. E questo pacchetto non e ordinabile con ruote 16" e 17".

La fabbrica di Emden, dove si produce la Passat, sara chiuso dopo le ferie di natale/cap d'anno fino al 23. gennaio per richiesta scarsa per il Passat. Poi la capacita per giorno sara abassata da 1170 a 940 uniti. I contratti di 500 operai non fissi non sono prolungati. Dal 2023 saranno prodotto 5 modelli elettrici di 3 marchi diversi ad Emden, dal 2027 si fara solo elettrici la, con una capacita di 300.000 uniti al anno. (fonte Manager-magazin.de)

Un commento a Automotive News Europe: http://europe.autonews.com/article/20181127/BLOG15/181129849/will-fcas-dividend-come-at-the-expense-of-investments Will FCA's dividend come at the expense of investments? November 27, 2018 06:01 CET di ANDREA MALAN Next year Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will earn 6 billion euros ($6.8 billion) from its sale of supplier Magneti Marelli to U.S. investor KKR & Co. FCA has said it will use part of the sum to pay shareholders a one-time dividend of 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion). It also plans to pay a regular dividend of 20 percent of its net profit — the first such dividend since the company was created in 2014. So if the net profit reaches the company target of 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) this year, the regular dividend will be 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion). That would bring the 2019 total payout to 3 billion euros ($3.4 billion). The big payout comes at a crossroads in the life of FCA. With the late CEO Sergio Marchionne at the helm, the company reduced net debt to zero, thanks to cost cuts, the recovery of the U.S. market and the strong growth of the Jeep and Ram brands. However, cost cutting has come in part at the expense of investments in new products and technologies. Those cuts have hit FCA brands Fiat, Chrysler and Dodge the hardest. In Europe, for example, Fiat launched only five of eight planned new models in the 2014-18 business plan. A replacement of the Punto small car and a compact crossover have been canceled, and the new Panda minicar has been postponed until at least 2020. In the United States, Chrysler and Dodge suffered from the market’s shift from sedans. Production of the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart was terminated; the Chrysler 100 and its Dodge sibling were canceled from plans. Also canceled were two Chrysler crossovers. Delays and cancellations also affected Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Alfa so far has launched only two models out of the eight included in the 2014-18 business plan. For Maserati, three nameplates out of six are missing. For both brands, some models have been shifted to the 2018-22 plan. Fiat unions expect the company soon to commit to producing new models in Italy to fill underutilized plants and lift profit margins in Europe The plans under consideration include Jeep Compass production at Fiat's Melfi plant in southern Italy, which already produces the Jeep Renegade, to replace the discontinued Fiat Punto. The Pomigliano factory near Naples will get the new "baby" Jeep, smaller than the Renegade. The Mirafiori plant in Fiat's hometown of Turin may be chosen to assemble the new electric Fiat 500 and a Fiat 500 Giardiniera wagon, union sources told Reuters. A new SUV is planned for Alfa Romeo, bigger than the Stelvio and based on the Maserati Levante. It could be built in Mirafori on the Levante line. Maserati's sporty Alfieri model will likely be made in the brand's hometown of Modena, the sources said. Too little, too late? But the new vehicles could be too few and too late for the Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands, whose sales and profits have been badly hit by a lack of fresh products. FCA also trails competitors in new technologies and electrification. The company sells the battery electric Fiat 500 in California but still has only one hybrid model in the range — the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid, sold just in North America. Mild-hybrid versions of the Ram 1500 pickup have been launched this year, but no other electrified vehicle is coming to the market before 2020. The 2018-22 plan envisions “over 30 nameplates to utilize one or more EV systems by 2022.” Despite the need to catch up, just as other rivals are stepping on the gas, FCA has slammed on the brakes. Capital expenditures were cut to 4.2 billion euros ($4.8 billion) in the first nine months of 2018 from 6.5 billion ($7.4 billion) in the same period of 2017. Finance chief Richard Palmer said FCA “has had some timing changes in the program, but in Q4 we’ll be back to a sort of a normal run rate going into 2019.” CEO Mike Manley tried to reassure analysts, saying that the more than 9 billion euros ($10.3 billion) of investments in electrification included in the 2018-22 plan “are nonnegotiable.” Some analysts are convinced that FCA needs to keep most of the Marelli money in its coffers. “What’s the rush to push that kind of cash out? There’s a lot of uncertainty on the cycle and on investment,” John Murphy of Bank of America Merrill Lynch said during the conference call to discuss FCA’s third-quarter financial results. Palmer and Manley made it clear that shareholders expected to get value from Magneti Marelli in case of a spinoff, and they are getting value from the dividend. Is the commitment to remunerate shareholders a sign that FCA executives are more interested in cash now than a solid company in the future? Does it mean FCA will be sold — in pieces or as a whole? To a question from a financial analyst about possible mergers, Manley said that once the Magneti Marelli sale closes, FCA “is in a much stronger position than it has been in the past. Our aim is to complete our five-year plan and deliver our commitments as an independent carmaker.” After many years during which Marchionne tried unsuccessfully to find a partner for FCA, the automaker might now have chosen the opposite strategy: downplay the need to find a partner in order to finally find one

Official press release: The new Porsche 911: more powerful, faster, digital Sensation in Los Angeles: the Porsche 911 is now entering the eighth generation. The new 911 celebrated its world premiere on the eve of the L.A. Auto Show. It continues to set the standard when it comes to exclusive sportiness. Unmistakably committed to the Porsche design DNA, a much more muscular look, and an interior featuring a 10.9-inch touchscreen monitor, the new 911 is timeless – and modern. Intelligent control and chassis elements as well as innovative assistance systems combine the masterfully uncompromising dynamism that the classic rear-engine sportscar is famed for, with the demands of the digital world. The next generation of flat-six turbocharged engines has been further developed and is more powerful than ever before, with 331 kW (450 PS) in the S models. The drive efficiency has been increased by way of an improved injection process and a new layout for the turbochargers and charge air cooling system. The power is delivered by a newly developed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Additional highlights include the new assistance systems, including Porsche Wet mode to make driving on wet roads even safer, and Night Vision Assist with thermal imaging camera, as well as comprehensive connectivity – which now also uses swarm intelligence. The 911’s features are rounded off by three exclusive digital offerings: the Porsche Road Trip app for extraordinary tours, the Porsche 360+ personal assistant, and the web-based Porsche Impact emissions calculator for neutralising your individual carbon footprint. Carrera S models start from 450 PS The turbocharged flat-six engine of the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S now produces 331 kW (450 PS; 911 Carrera S: Fuel consumption combined 8.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined 205 g/km; 911 Carrera 4S: Fuel consumption combined 9.0 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined 206 g/km). This corresponds to an increase of 22 kW (30 PS) compared with the previous model. Both 911 models beat the four-second mark for acceleration from zero to 100 km/h: the rear-wheel-drive Coupé needs 3.7 seconds and the 911 Carrera 4S with all-wheel drive just 3.6 seconds. This makes both cars 0.4 seconds faster than the previous model in each case. This advantage is increased by a further 0.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package. The top speeds are now 308 km/h (911 Carrera S) and 306 km/h for the all-wheel-drive version. The fuel consumption (NEDC-correlated) of the 911 Carrera S is 8.9 l/100 km, while the 911 Carrera 4 S records this figure as 9.0 l/100 km. Clear design language, unmistakable identity The exterior design is completely new and emphasises the leap in performance for the 911 type 992. Significantly wider wheel housings arch over the 20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels. The rear end is now the same width across all models, highlighting the slimline centre section. At the front, the body is 45 mm wider. Flush integration of the electrical pop-out handles in the doors emphasises the tapered and smooth side contour. Between the new LED headlights, a bonnet with a pronounced recess evokes the design of the first 911 generations. The rear is dominated on all models by the significantly wider, variable-position rear spoiler and the seamless, elegant light bar. Apart from the front and rear sections, the entire outer skin is now made from aluminium. The completely new interior is characterised by the clear and straight lines of the dashboard with recessed instruments. The 911 models from the 1970s provided the inspiration here. Alongside the central rev counter – typical for Porsche – two thin, frameless freeform displays supply information to the driver. The centre screen of the PCM is now 10.9 inches, and can be operated quickly and without distraction thanks to the new architecture. Located underneath this there is a compact switch unit with five buttons for direct access to important vehicle functions. In terms of digitalisation, the 911 takes the next step into the future with permanent connectivity as well as new functions and services. The standard PCM features include online navigation based on swarm data as well as Porsche Connect Plus. New assistance systems increase safety and comfort In a world first, Porsche has developed Wet mode, included as standard. This function detects water on the road, preconditions the control systems accordingly and warns the driver, who can then set up the vehicle for a particular emphasis on safety, by simply pushing a button or using the mode switch on the steering wheel (Sport Chrono Package). The warning and brake assist system, also fitted as standard, detects the risk of collisions with moving objects and initiates emergency braking if necessary. Night Vision Assist with a thermal imaging camera is optionally available for the 911 for the first time. The adaptive cruise control option includes automatic distance control, stop-and-go function, reversible occupant protection and an innovative autonomous Emergency Assist function. Digital applications: “Road Trip”, “360+” and “Impact” “Porsche Road Trip” supports car enthusiasts in planning, organising and navigating special trips. The curated routes it offers include exclusive hotel and restaurant recommendations as well as points of interest and viewpoints along the route. “Porsche 360+” has the goal of allowing the customer to enjoy the Porsche experience even while away from the vehicle; the heart of “Porsche 360+” is a personal lifestyle assistant that is available to customers around the clock. The assistant is intended to make everyday life easier and exclusive experiences possible. “Porsche Impact” is an emissions calculator. It calculates the financial contributions that Porsche customers can pay to offset their CO2 footprint. They themselves can choose the internationally certified climate projects in which to invest. The projects available are spread out all over the world and focus on wind, hydro and solar power, as well as forest protection.

Poi provi di richiamare questa potenza piu lungo come uno o due minuti, poi vedi che la potenza non c'e piu perche il managment della temperatura dei batterie, anche le celle delle batteria stesse, e fatto molto primitivo (di aspetti della sicurezza adesso non parliamo). Il top della tecnologia in dettaglio ha un altra faccia. Una Tesla come macchina elettrica e nient altro come una Ford F150 come macchina tradizionale - molto semplice, primitivo, molto show.

La MT7 resta in programma, sopratutto per il mercato americano, va in produzione un po' piu tardi. Piccolo dettaglio tra l'altro: avete notato che le foto ufficiale per la stampa sono fatto in Italia, localita Campo Imperatore / Abruzzo? Si vede molto bella con questi due foto il Corno Grande e la Maiella ?

Dopo Kuka adesso anche Comau in mane Cinesi? Tra 10-15 anni noi europei devono compratre tutti i impianti per la produzione/industria 4.0 alle cinesi, come gia oggi con i sistemi per la telecommunicazione alla Huawei. Poi siamo completamente in mano dei cinesi ? Fare cassa e svendita.

tutto molto simile a Taycan, ca. 600CV, sistema elettrica con 800V, autonomia ca. 500Km, prezzo tra 85k e 100k.

boh...secondo me un po' troppo nella futura il 2025, e piu di un ciclo dei modelli. Ma per 2019 secondo AMuS possiamo aspettare questa mossa: (F) per facelift

d'accordo con piu visibile, non d'accordo con piu aggressivo, secondo me dovrebbe essere piu elegante, piu icona dello stile, la aggressivita lasciamo alle Ferrari e Alfa.

Ma la differenza dei prezzi e sopratutto una questione del mercato specifico. In Germania la Renegade 1,6 120 jtd costa 3000.- in piu come la 1.0 120 GDI, invece la Troc 1.6 TDI solo 2500.- in piu come la 1.0 TSI 115.

ecco per EU e per Italia

adesso sono piu Tipo/Egea come 500X

..ma molto piu massicio e piu grande dal vivo, ho visto oggi lo stesso prototipo su strada, la Octavia SW dietro sembrava piu piccola, ma naturalmente anche un po' effetto della pellicola.

se parli della 3p Mini (non della 3p in genere) la produzione e costante da 2016 sempre tra 105.000 e 109.000 uniti al anno, sara cosi anche 2019.
