New BMW 3 Series F30 (2012)

Introduction:
This is the next iteration of the BMW 3 Series is expected to arrive in 2012. Its exterior is influenced by the F01 7 Series and especially the F10 5 Series. The saloon, wagon, coupé, and convertible body styles will return. There is also expected to be a five-door hatchback version with a coupé-like style similar to the 5 Series Gran Turismo, and this will slot between the 3 Series wagon and the X3 crossover, replacing the outgoing BMW Compact as a hatchback version of the 3-series. Technology currently available in the 7 Series and 5 Series is expected to feature in the BMW 3 Series F30, such as a lane-departure warning system, night vision, a system to prevent the driver from falling asleep, and radar-based adaptive cruise control with collision-mitigating automatic braking.

About the Supercar's Engine:
The BMW 3 Series F30 is expected to be powered by a new family of aluminum four-cylinder gasoline engines ranging from 135 to 245 horsepower. These will include new technologies such as variable intake and exhaust-valve timing, sequential turbochargers, and direct fuel injection. There will also be a hybrid version which augments the transmission with two electric motors and expected fuel savings of 20 percent, a similar powertrain that will be found in the upcoming X5 hybrid, developed in a joint venture with GM, Chrysler, and Daimler.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (2009)

Introduction:
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a luxury grand tourer automobile developed by Mercedes-AMG to replace the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The car is the first Mercedes automobile designed in-house by AMG and is described by Mercedes-Benz as a spiritual successor to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2009 IAA. Sales began in mid-2010 in Europe with MSRP of €177,310 and will begin in the United States in mid-2011 for less than $200,000.

Design: 
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is designed to be a modern 300SL Gullwing revival by Gorden Wagener. The car has a long bonnet, the passenger compartment is close to the rear axle and the rear of the car is short. The SLS AMG will also adapt the feature of wing doors that will swing open upwards on gas struts, not in a mix of upwards and forward like the SLR. The doors must be closed manually as AMG engineers decided against auto-closing systems because the systems would have added 90 pounds (41 kg) to the car. In case of a roll-over, the doors can be fully detached to allow the occupants to leave the vehicle.
