Lo de los turbos a mi ya me recuerda a las hojillas de afeitar desechables, que ya las hay de 4 hojas.

Las dos principales marcas ya las venden hace tiempo de 5 hojas! 😉. No sé donde acabará esto…

Todo lo que sea mejorar el rendimiento y la eficiencia bienvenido sea, seguro que va a ser brutal, tiene una pinta tremenda.

Pero el Skoda equivalente es el Rapid, no? El próximo Octavia estará por encima, no sólo en tamaño.

No, el Skoda Rapid es el relogotipado del Polo Sedán para India. EL Toledo será gemelo de lo que salga del concept MissionL, que por la L supongo que se llamará Laurea y estará por debajo del Octavia.

Sorry..Me he columpiado de lo lindo. El Lauretta es el que será primo-hermano del Toledo y, según he leído por Internete, aparecerá en Ginebra también. El Octavia 3 será el que aparezca en Paris.

El TOLEDO se vera en Ginebra almenos en forma de concept no?

Última información al respecto.

Matt Drendel falleció en 2010, y ahora su familia decide subastar la colección

Classic car aficionados are currently making arrangements to be in Northeast Florida for the second week of March for the Amelia Island Concours, but not everyone will be headed to Florida just to see cars. Plenty of collectors come to the annual event with cash burning in their pockets, and the various auction houses are happy to oblige with a selection of special cars on offer.

One of the highlights of the weekend’s auction action will surely be this incredible Porsche collection slated to cross the block at Gooding & Company. Owned by the late Matthew Drendel, the collection consists of 18 classic Porsches from a rare 1973 917/30 Can-Am Spyder with an estimated value of up to $3.25-$4 million to a very attainable 1991 944 S2 Cabriolet worth around $30,000. Also of note are a two-time Daytona 24 winning 1984 Porsche 962, the very first Porsche 935 built and a 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Evolution that is one of just four factory team cars.

Gooding & Company, the acclaimed auction house celebrated for selling the world’s most significant and valuable collector cars, is honored to announce its recent consignment of the Drendel Family Collection of 18 Porsches. Recognized as the world’s finest private collection of its kind, the Drendel Family Collection consists of both road and race cars spanning 25 years of Porsche history from 1973 – 1997. With 10 of the 18 lots being offered without reserve, the arrival of this extraordinary collection in Amelia Island offers collectors and Porsche enthusiasts around the world the opportunity to own a piece of Porsche’s winning motorsport heritage. In addition, the March auction marks the first time many of these historically-important racing stars will have ever been presented at auction.

Gooding & Company has moved the start time of its Amelia Island Auction to 11 a.m. on Friday, March 9th to accommodate the extensive 18-car collection, as well as to accommodate the schedules of its guests at the daytime auction.

«The result of well-developed connoisseurship and deep passion, Matthew Drendel built what has become the world’s most significant private collection of turbocharged Porsches,» says David Gooding, President and founder of Gooding & Company. «It’s a very rare occurrence when a refined, single-marque collection of high-quality road and race cars is offered to the public. We feel privileged to have been selected to present the Drendel Family Collection in Amelia Island.»

A Passion for Porsche

Matthew Drendel was attracted to Porsche automobiles from an early age. Although his personal racing successes were primarily associated with normally-aspirated 911 Cup cars, it was the legendary turbocharged Porsches that most interested him as a collector. His collection began with a single 930 road car and later expanded to the 18 magnificent cars it is today.

«Matthew Drendel maintained a reputation for collecting the very best cars and, therefore, has always been respected in the Porsche community,» says Gooding & Company Specialist David Brynan. «The overall scope of the collection and focus on factory team cars reflect his tremendous dedication and knowledge of the marque.»

Detailed below are seven of the most significant collector cars being offered as part of the Drendel Family Collection:

1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder
Chassis 917-30-004
Estimate: $3.25 – $4 million
The Porsche 917 racing program was one of the most successful in the history of motor sport and the 1973 917/30 Can-Am Spyder represents its pinnacle. With a 1,000 hp turbocharged flat-twelve, American racing champion Mark Donohue’s 917/30 was so dominant that the Can Am Challenge Cup was disbanded and the other manufacturers withdrew due to their inability to compete.

One of four examples completed at the Porsche factory, 004 was intended to be the 1974 Penske-Sunoco team car but was instead sold to Australian Porsche Importer Alan Hamilton. Later purchased by the Porsche factory, this car is now the centerpiece of the Drendel Family Collection. Meticulously restored and presented in the iconic Penske-Sunoco livery, this 917/30 has been raced at the Monterey Historics and has been displayed at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and Rennsport Reunion.

1984 Porsche 962
Chassis 962-103
Estimate: $1.75 – $2.225 million
According to Gooding & Company specialists, this car is the finest example of the Porsche 962 and one of the most successful racing cars of its generation. With only two owners from new, this back-to-back 24 Hours of Daytona winner will be one of the Drendel Family Collection’s most significant offerings at the auction with its immediately recognizable Löwenbräu livery, list of legendary drivers, unrivalled racing record and superb documentation.

1974 Porsche RSR Turbo Carrera 2.14
Chassis 911 460 9016 (R9)
Estimate: $1.75 – $2.25 million
The Carrera RSR Turbo 2.14 represents a turning point in the history of competition Porsches when it introduced the use of turbocharged engines in production-based race cars. Used by the factory for development, this hand-built experimental 911 was campaigned as a Martini & Rossi Porsche Works entry in the 1974 season at Nürburgring, Imola and Zeltweg. Few racing cars of this caliber have remained so correct and untouched, making this car an extremely important piece of Porsche history.

1976 Porsche 935/76
Chassis 930 570 0001 (R14)
Estimate: $1.7 – $2 million
The first 935 built, this car served as the prototype and development mule for one of the most successful series of Porsche racing cars. This historically-significant example ran as a factory team car under the recognizable Martini & Rossi livery and its podium finishes at Watkins Glen and Dijon helped Porsche capture the Group 5 World Championship in 1976. In addition to its impressive provenance and great originality, this factory race car has the remarkable distinction of being the first Porsche with a 930 serial number prefix.

1985 Porsche 962
Chassis 962-HR1
Estimate: $900,000 – $1.2 million
During its career, this Porsche achieved 11 overall wins and 19 podium finishes, as well as 2 IMSA GTP Drivers Championships and an IMSA GTP Manufacturers Championship. Along with its Holbert Racing sister car, 962-103, this 962 is one of the most significant 962s in history. Fresh from restoration, 962- HR1 was displayed at RennSport Reunion IV in 2011.

1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Evolution
Chassis 993-GT1-004
Estimate: $900,000 – $1.2 million
This rare factory team car – one of just four built – has competed at top events (Le Mans, Nürburgring and Laguna Seca) in the highest levels of international racing with known drivers behind its wheel. Later campaigned by Rohr Racing at Daytona and Harry Bytzek in the Canada GT Challenge Cup, GT1-004 has one of the most impressive racing records of any factory GT1.

1975 Porsche 934
Chassis 930 670 0155
Estimate: $800,000 – $1 million
The racing variant of the road-going 930, the 934 expanded on the success of the RSR, winning the European GT Championship as well as the TransAm Championship in North America. The second 934 constructed, this car was actively campaigned through the early 1980s, culminating in a first in class at the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans. In regards to this car, noted Porsche authority Bruce Anderson was quoted as saying «it is the most successful 934 to race in international competition.»

Me ha dejado roto esa «información», por llamarla de alguna forma; por eso he intentado contrastarla, dentro de mis posibilidades.

Se dice que va a costar más que el A4L con el motor más grande y con las especificaciones más altas… y por lo que he visto eso no es cierto.

Según esa información sólo se venderán el León FR y Cupra y costarán entre 250.000 y 300.000 yuanes.

El Audi A4L más bajo cuesta 272.000 yuanes con el 1.8 TFSI de 160 cv. El Audi A4L más caro vale 464.000 yuanes y lleva el 2.0 TFSI de 211 cv. Bastantes menos potencia respecto al Cupra y también más caro.

El precio del León es parecido al del Audi A3 con la diferencia que el A3 más caro vale 328.000 yuanes y tiene «sólo» 160 cv.

No he podido compararlo con el Civic ya que no encuentro la versión inglesa de la página de Honda China y de chino ando un poco flojo 😛

Como me joden las «informaciones» que no usan datos reales y objetivos. Aunque tampoco me extraña, ya que el origen de la noticia es una página de china. Como protegen lo suyo…

http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201202/296146.html

El texto debe ser producción propia de carnewchina porque señala que solo las fotos son de Autohome.

He mirado en la web de Honda, y el Civic Type-S sale entre 185.800 y 197.000 RMB, es la versión sedán con un 2.0 i-vtech que no se que potencia tiene.
