Lexus is displaying the all-new "GS 250" at the 9th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition, open from today until November 28. The show is open to the press today, and will be open for the public from November 22 through 28.

The GS 250 is the third model in the new GS lineup, after the previously unveiled "GS 350" and "GS 450h" top-end model. The GS 250 shares the same framework as its siblings, including the signature spindle grill, as well as a completely redesigned platform and suspension.

Lexus GS entry-level hybrid

Lexus is working on an ultra-fuel-efficient entry-level Lexus GS to take on small-engined large German sedans like the BMW 520d, Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI, and Audi A6 2.0 TDI. Instead of going diesel though, Lexus is set to introduce a small petrol engine teamed with a hybrid system.


Lexus has already revealed the new Lexus GS 450h hybrid, which comes with a large petrol engine for outright power, backed up by a hybrid system to reduce overall fuel consumption and emissions. An entry-level model will apparently offer even greater efficiency.

Rolls-Royce 102EX: First Drive

The Rolls-Royce 102EX electric concept car is the answer to the question no Rolls-Royce owner ever asked. Namely: Should I buy a green car? Absurd! Fuel economy? The environment? Recharging? Bah! Those are problems for the poors.


Which is precisely why Rolls-Royce built this all-electric concept car. This is an era where evil socialist regulators force good, upstanding automakers to worry about the color green — and unbelievably, they're not talking about the color of the bills Rolls owners ask their man-servants to count for them.

Bentley updates Continental GTC for North American debut

Bentley Motors' Continental GTC is making its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, adding updated styling and performance to the company's sporty convertible.


The two-door drop-top gains the muscular refreshed front fascia of its sibling, the 2012 Continental GT coupe, and a upgrade in power over previous models with a 567-horsepower W-12 engine.

The GTC hits 60 miles per hour from standstill in just 4.5 seconds. Bentley says a new Quickshift transmission improves acceleration in the 5,115-pound vehicle while trimming shift times to 200 milliseconds.

VATH 2012 Mercedes SLK

VATH introduces its package for the new Mercedes SLK, including power upgrade for all the engines in the range.

Well, all the engines expect for the AMG V8. For the base model, the 184 hp SLK200 they offer a boost up to 210 hp and 310 Nm of torque, enough for a top speed of 242 km/h.

Then we have the 205 hp SLK250 that gets a bump to 244 hp and 360Nm with top speed of 250 km/h. And finally the V6-powered SLK350 which gets 330 hp and 390Nm of torque for a top speed of 269 km/h.

Visually you can count on the new tinted 20-inch wheels and the lowered suspension to add a little drama. They do offer a carbon front spoiler, a bootlid spoiler and a rear diffuser, but they’re kinda obscured, especially with the black exterior!

2011 Ford Mustang GT "Fallen and Wounded Soldiers" by Webasto

The "Fallen and Wounded Soldiers" Ford Mustang GT by Webasto is a special muscle car that was the result of a collaboration among some of the world’s foremost Mustang tuners. But more importantly, this Mustang was born to raise awareness and money for The Fallen and Wounded Soldier’s Fund (FWSF), a non-profit organization focused on helping service members with medical costs, transportation, and other financial assistance.

In building this special edition Mustang, Webasto sought the help of some of the best tuners around, and knowing the nature of this build, a lot of companies answered Webasto’s call.
