“We shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” says Charlie Territo from theAlliance of Automobile Manufacturers, as we weave our way through the latest and greatest green technologies at this year’s New York International Auto Show. The expo, which had only two hybrid vehicles eight years ago, now boasts 24—not to mention close to 40 flex-fuel models, as well as more than 10 diesel, one hydrogen, and several concept vehicles.

But instead of reflecting on the show’s positive green growth, I find myself scrutinizing both the fallibilities of each fuel technology and the fact that there’s still an overwhelming majority of eco-dubious cars touting mega-horsepower and bling. Think Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Jags. I repeat Territo’s comment like mantra as I navigate through a sea of hopeful, green alternatives: We shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Sure, every model has its problems, and not every consumer is considering fuel economy when purchasing a car, but with the variety of well-designed, fuel-efficient options on display, it’s difficult to imagine things aren’t getting good. Until we reach perfection, here’s the shortlist of some of the New York International Auto Show’s good and green wheels.

Latest 2011 BMW Car Features


2011 BMW 6-Series roomier, less controversial:



BMW’s followup to the dramatic 6-Series won’t bring anything shocking to the table, but it should address concerns with the existing model and increase the large coupe’s competitiveness, according to a new report by Germany’s AutoBild.
While the current 6-Series ? introduced in 2004 ? is arguably one of BMW’s most aggressive and controversial designs, its successor won’t do anything to push the envelope further. Instead, it will serve to move the 6er further toward grand tourer territory.
Longer than today’s model, the 2011 6-Series will offer more legroom for rear passengers. At the same time, it will get a sportier cockpit with a more driver oriented console layout.

bmw-6-series-2011
As signaled by BMW’s new CS concept, the automaker will be abandoning its awkward trunk design features on the 5-,6-, and 7-Series in favor of a more streamlined design.
Three engines options will give customers a choice between 306, 408, and 507 horsepower the report claims. The 306 hp model will make use of BMW’s new twin-turbo inline-six found in the 335i. It’s unlikely the 635i will make it to U.S. shores, since Germany luxury makers generally don’t offer entry-level engines in premium cars in America.
2011_bmw-6-series
The 650i’s successor will climb in output to 408 horsepower ? up from 360 horsepower in the current model, which itself was a significant jump from the 645i’s 325 horsepower. The M6 is expected to retain BMW’s 5.0-liter V10, with output of at least 507 horsepower.
The convertible version is expected to make use of a folding metal roof, like the new 3-Series convertible. Front overhang on both models will decrease by an inch and a half, despite increased pedestrian safety requirements. Wheelbase will grow three inches.
A previous Autobild report suggested BMW would also offer a four-door variant of the next-gen 6-Series codenamed F14, but it now appears rivaling the Mercedes CLS will be the job of the CS-based 8-Series.

2011 BMW 6 Series Coupe:


2011 bmw 6-series coupeThe new generation model will receive the same range of engines. 4.8-liter 380-strong eight-engine can replace 4.4-liter unit with dual supercharged V8, which has already been put on the new BMW 7-Series and x6.
Version M instead of the huge 500-strong lightly equipped V10 555-strong 4,4-liter “Eight” of the X5 and x6 M M. The new car appears in 2011.

2011 bmw z2 - new details revealed picture


BMW left a hole in its line up with the new Z4. The car is not too big, but it does put a wide enough gap between it and its predecessor, the Z3, to take it out of direct competition with like the small, lightweight Mazda MX-5. Not likely to leave a market wide open for other companies, BMW is rumored to be working on a Z2 model for featherweight fun.
The Z2 will be built on a modified Z4 platform, and unlike its bigger brother will only be offered with a choice of four cylinders engines with a maximum capacity of two liters. The base version will be a 1.8-liter with 150 hp, while a “M” version could be a turbocharged car with an output of around 300 hp. Like previously reported, a hybrid version is also in the works and a M version might also be a possibility.

latest Porsche Carrera 911 features

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 2009 TECHART- Front Side Picture
Unmistakeable design characterises the latest TECHART program for the 911 Porsche models from mod. 09, presented as a world premiere at the Geneva Auto-Salon 2009. Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 2009 model, the design highlights the aesthetics, sportiness and dynamics of the vehicle.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 2009 TECHART Cabriolet - Cockpit Interior Picture
The elegant exterior design comprises components which create a sense of fully formed sportiness and balanced aerodynamic driving.
The elegant front spoiler blends in seamlessly with the form of the bumper and exudes pure sportiness. Power optimising sill panels emphasise the elongated side lines and add a touch of the dynamic to the flanks of the vehicle. The deep sitting rear diffuser as well as the wing profile of the rear spoiler define this sovereign look.
Delicate decorative detailing, headlight and mirror trims, a roof spoiler in carbon or PU-RIM material and air outlet grills integrated into the front apron complete this spirited appearance.
A wide range of different leather furnishings, matching colour 3-spoke airbag sports wheel, aluminium pedals and decorative borders are just some of the furnishing options available. There are virtually no limits to individual design, as far as the TECHART manufacturers are concerned. The silver-coloured accenting appears on the dashboard, decorative door trims, infotainment system panel, central console, seat back covers and clothes hooks.
Porsche, whose notoriously fast cars get updated at a notoriously glacial pace, at least in terms of style, even while sometimes major advancements occur under the skin. Specifically, what he got was a pretty, blue, badge-less 2011 Carrera S clearly showing off new quad-element HID headlamps nestled within the Carrera’s not-new ovoid surrounds. Beneath the familiar frog eyes are enlarged air intakes into which the turn signals are integrated.

Consider the 2011 911 a brand-new car, even though the basic structure remains essentially the same as the outgoing model’s. In addition, the 2009 Porsche 911 will also incorporate more powerful, direct-injected versions of the 3.6-liter and 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engines. They’ll narrow the gap in straight-line acceleration between the 911 and its hugely powerful competition, while also featuring just enough improvement in fuel economy to fend off unsympathetic government regulators for a couple more years.

porsche 911 carrera s coupe 2009 dashboard dashboard 1024x768 Porsche 911 Carrera S 2009
As a result, the base 911 Carrera’s 3.6-liter, horizontally opposed six-cylinder is now making 345 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 287 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm, which is up from 325 hp at 6,800 and 273 lb-ft at 4,250 in 2008. If you pair this engine with the PDK, Porsche says you’re looking at 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, a couple tenths quicker than the car would be with the manual. Add the Sports Chrono Package Plus, and the company’s acceleration estimate drops to 4.3.
The 3.8-liter engine in the 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera S offers 379 hp at 6,500 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, versus 355 hp at 6,600 and 295 lb-ft at 4,600 in ’08. This still pales in comparison to the GT-R’s totals (480 hp, 430 lb-ft), but bear in mind that the entry-level members of the 911 family are 700-800 pounds lighter than the R35 (GT-R). That weight advantage won’t necessarily translate to a level playing field, but it might be hard not to enjoy a 911 Carrera S with a top speed of 188 mph. Porsche says a PDK-equipped 911 Carrera S coupe will hit 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, or 4.1 with the Sports Chrono option.

Rumor has it that Ferrari is prepping a drop top version of its stripped out, track focused F430 Scuderia model equipped with the same 510HP 4.3-liter V8 engine as the coupe that could be introduced by the end of the year. Unfortunately we can’t confirm the rumors, but what we can do is show you how the lightweight 430 Scuderia Spider may look like through a set of renderings that were made by photoshop expert Jon Sibal.

The very first 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition sold for Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach earlier this year.
