2012 Porsche Panamera Turbo S

Only a few years after the launch of the Panamera Turbo, Porsche Turbo S has been added to the lineup with a squeeze another 50 hp from 4.8 liters awesome, twin-turbo V-8. This model is not exactly a surprise: The Panamera V-8 engines shared with the Cayenne and Cayenne last generation is offered with a 550-hp variations.

From ultra luxury to ultra performance, the 2012 Porsche Panamera is the "everything to everybody"sedan.Impressive cornering ability; engine choices from willing to thrilling; high fuel economy ofHybrid model; comfortable ride; beautiful cabin quality.

Panamera is big and heavy car, but it shines as it thunders on the road at real speed. Modified engine management and turbocharger enables an increase in titanium aluminum is 550 hp and 553 pounds-ft of torque, up from 516 for the regular Turbo. The chassis is "Sport" and "Sport Plus" mode, overboost function increases the twist to £ 590 ft-wild. Turbo can regularly raise the already-impressive 568 pounds-ft below the overboost, which is accessed by paying for Sport Chrono package. This package is standard in the Turbo S.

Added power translates into a performance you do not need to complain about: Porsche says 60 mph can be achieved in 3.6 seconds, but we used to clock the 3.3 Turbo. Picture a tenth or two faster than that, thanks largely to a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, which includes the launch-control function. This is the only transmission available. The company claims a top speed of 190 mph, but based on our testing, real-world figure will be higher around 5 mph. If you are concerned, Porsche does not have a final rating of the fuel economy, but it said they would approach the Turbo city / highway numbers of 15/23 mpg.

Fire up the... Peugeot 208

PEUGEOT'S back on the ball, if the new 208 is anything to go by.

The French firm's built up a fine reputation for building feisty hatchbacks with a sense of fun - as anyone familiar with the 205, 306 and 106 will surely testify - but to my mind at least the more recent models, particularly the 207, never really caught the imagination in the same way. Deep down, I reckon that's why Peugeot's pulled out all the stops to get it right with its latest supermini contender.

For starters, it looks good, with a sharply-sculpted shape and carefully chosen proportions which at a stroke render the old 207 a bit blobby and comparision. It's the same story on the inside too, with interior fabrics and plastics which owe plenty to its big brother, the 508 saloon. The main thing which strikes you is the unusual way the controls are laid out - you look over the steering wheel to see the dials, rather than through it - but it's as intuitive as it is innovative. Same story goes for the tablet-style computer sitting atop the centre console, although I suspect having an actual iPad dock there instead might have been a smarter move.

But the best thing about the 208 by far is the way it drives. You'd expect that the 1.6 Feline version I tried wouldn't be lacking in pace - at £16,895, it's holding the warm hatch fort until the eagerly-anticipated GTi version arrives - but where it really shines is in the fluidity of its handling and in its natural agility in the sort of low-speed urban darting in and around town.

For the past three years I've always argued the Fiesta is the best of the superminis but the 208 is now a better looking, more entertaining and technologically superior package to Ford's finest. After a couple of years in the hatchback wilderness, Peugeot's got its mojo back and produced one of the best cars I've driven all year.

Talented Alex has designs on your next new car

A MERSEYSIDE dad has spoken of his pride this week after his son landed a dream job designing a Chinese car company's latest models.

Jeff O'Brien, from Thornton, told Life On Cars that after impressing car industry executives with his design flair his son Alex has now jetted off to Shanghai to help design vehicles for Qoros, a joint Israeli-Chinese firm which will be launching its first cars in the UK next year.

Mr O'Brien said yesterday: "Alex's designing and sketching skills are out of this world, and after completing the car design course at the University of Coventry he impressed a lot of design executives for different companies, who all saw what he'd come up with and wanted to take a look. One of them was a manager at Qoros, who spoke to Alex and was absolutely delighted with him.

"Alex wanted to work with Qoros because it's a new company, and they're really keen to use some of his design skills in their models."

The model which former Manor High School pupil Alex created to conclude his design course, a sports car design aimed at supercar builders Bugatti (pictured above), attracted attention from car industry executives at an exhibition, used to showcase the UK's latest car design talent, held in Coventry last year. Father and son worked together on the car, with Jeff, a retired Craft, Design and Technology tutor, helping to fashion the wheels for the model of Alex's sports car design.

Although work commitments in Shanghai meant Alex was unavailable to speak to Life On Cars, a Qoros spokesperson said of its new range of cars: "Qoros is a fresh, new brand without legacy. It is driven by a passionate international team of expert designers, engineers and marketers who are united in their desire to develop sophisticated and highly individual products.

"The company is dedicated to meeting an ever-increasing demand for cars that are highly differentiated from other products within a crowded automotive marketplace. In addition to design that is both elegant and functional, Qoros products will be distinguished by a strong focus on state-of-the-art technology, with high levels of user-friendly in-car connectivity and vehicle safety standards which compare to the best in Europe."

The first Qoros car to be sold in the UK, an as-yet-unnamed four door saloon, will make its European debut at the Geneva Motorshow next March.
