Honda Threatened by the Rise of the Koreans

Image
If there is one Japanese company that can lay claim to having a reputation for innovation and advanced engineering, it is Honda . It is a reputation built over more than 30 years, starting from the first generation of the Civic in the ‘70s and continuing throughout the years with novelties such as VTEC, the futuristic first generation Insight hybrid back in 1999, the S2000s high-revving 120HP-per-liter engine, the first practical supercar, the NSX – and the list goes on. However, something seems to have changed, and not for the better. In the USA, the Civic enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a reliable, frugal and well-made car. But when the new Civic sedan and coupe made their debut at the New York Motor Show last April, pundits were less than impressed. Then came the Consumer Reports test , and all hell broke loose. While the Civics predecessors had often been Consumer Reports’ highest rated small sedans as well as "Top Picks" in five of the last 10 years...

We’re not referring to the gorgeous 911 GT3 that will form the basis of Porsches new racer but the two Formula 1 arch-rivals that launched their new hypercars at the Swiss show. That will be Ferrari and McLaren, then. Both boast outlandish horsepower figures in excess of 900HP, sub-3.0-second 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration times, a level of technology unseen until now in production cars and will be produced in limited numbers and, of course, priced accordingly. Only one of them has a really daft name though… Evo magazine’s Henry Catchpole gave the other a very close inspection and was kind enough to share his thoughts with the rest of us mortals. You can watch Henry stroke and caress the McLaren P1 in the way only a true petrolhead would, and also get behind its lovely Alcantara and carbon fiber trimmed wheel in the video that follows right after the break.

This is the all-new Wraith, Rolls Royces luxurious interpretation of a performance coupe. Revealed just hours before it makes its first appearance in front of a crowd at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5, the Wraith is dubbed as the most powerful and fastest production car ever built by Rolls Royce . What Rolls Royce considers performance and what the rest of the world considers performance, are two very different things, as proved by the Wraiths heavy underpinnings sourced from the Ghost limo and the fact that the British company highlights (pun intended) the cars Starlight Headliner featuring 1,340 fibre optic lamps that "give the impression of a glittering, starry night sky"… Even so, the Wraith is no slouch, with its tuned 6.6-liter twin-turbod V12 engine delivering 624hp (633PS) and a peak torque of 800Nm (590 lb-ft) for a 0-60mph sprint in 4.4 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds), compared with 563hp and 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds for the Ghost sedan.
