2016 Porsche 911 Concept

The second-generation 991 will sprout a pair of turbochargers on lowly Carreras, boosting power and torque significantly and lowering emissions and fuel consumption. 
This is downsizing in action. The new 2016 model year 991.2 will shrink the flat six to 3.0 litres in capacity, but swell outputs through forced induction. Key figures are:

2016 Kia Sorento Concept

2016 Kia Sorento Concept

The 2016 Kia Sorento builds on everything we already like about Kia's midsize crossover SUV. The new Sorento is bigger, but not so much so that it sacrifices the old Sorento's maneuverability. The 2016 Sorento also has more high-tech features, offering things like adaptive cruise control, an all-around-view camera, and Siri Eyes Free for your iPhone. You have a new engine to choose from, a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that splits the difference in performance and fuel economy between the standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and the upgrade 3.3-liter V6 engine. The styling inside and out is sharp and spot-on, and the driving experience is also markedly improved. We'll put it this way: If you liked the old Sorento, you'll love this new one.

2016 Toyota Tacoma Concept

2016 Toyota Tacoma Concept

The Tacoma's cool new look was inspired by Toyota's off-road race truck heritage. While it still has visual cues that align with previous Tacomas, the new muscular, bold style sets it apart. LED daytime running accent lights are available and there are four wheel and tire combinations, ranging from 16- to 18-inch, and eight exterior colors, three of which are new.

There is a lot new, even if it doesn’t jump out at you. The V-6 engine, replacing the 236-horsepower 4.0-liter, is now a brand-new 278-horsepower 3.5-liter. Torque, at 265 lb-ft, is down one to the 2015 engine. A similarly brand-new six-speed automatic replaces the five-speed, and there’s a new six-speed manual available to the roughly five percent of Tacoma buyers who want to shift for themselves. Towing capacity is as high as 6,800 pounds with a properly-equipped V-6.

The 2.7-liter four-cylinder is largely carryover, with the same 159 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque. It also gets the new six-speed automatic transmission, or a carryover five-speed manual.

2016 Porsche Cayenne Concept

2016 Porsche Cayenne Concept

The 2016 Porsche Cayenne Concept leaves no doubt that anything wearing a Porsche badge lives up to the brand's dominating performance capabilities. After introducing the eco-friendly Cayenne S E-Hybrid plug-in last year, Porsche introduces two new performance versions of the Cayenne. The new Cayenne Turbo S offers up 570 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8, giving it performance well beyond what you'd expect for a vehicle its size and weight. The new Porsche Cayenne GTS uses a new turbocharged V6 engine. Add to the mix tons of luxury features and enviable curbside cachet, and the Porsche Cayenne is easily a match for competitors like the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, BMW X5 and Mercedes M-Class.

The 2016 Porsche Cayenne is available with many engine options, ranging from the base 3.6-liter V6 to a twin-turbocharged V8. A diesel engine is available, and a hybrid model is reviewed separately. Reviewers are impressed by most of the available engines, noting that the Cayenne is astonishingly quick. The base model earns average fuel economy for the class, at an EPA-estimated 19/24 mpg city/highway. However, the diesel model falls short of rivals with its EPA estimate of 20/29 mpg city/highway. Test drivers report the Cayenne has exceptionally agile handling and a comfortable ride.

The cabin of the 2016 Porsche Cayenne is instantly recognizable to anyone who has driven a new Porsche in the last few years. The center console cleanly separates driver from passenger, giving the front row a cockpit-style layout. The 50-plus buttons that adorn the console can feel daunting at first, but after a slight learning curve, their arrangement makes sense. The 7-inch touchscreen is slightly smaller and dated compared to other cutting-edge widescreen displays, but is functional and easy to use.

2016 Nissan GT-R Concept

2016 Nissan GT-R Concept

Few cars embody the concept of maximizing bang for your buck more than the Nissan GT-R. Since it arrived on our shores in 2009, the GT-R has promised super car performance at sports car prices. Back then, $70,000 was all it cost to buy a 485-horsepower kaiju that could dispatch the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo and Audi R8 without breaking a sweat.

With continual improvements over the years and increases in standard feature content, a new GT-R is now in six-figure territory, but Nissan's top sports car remains an impressive beast. The heart of the GT-R is its potent, twin-turbocharged V6, which now produces 550 hp in standard tune. A multitude of computer-controlled systems govern a stellar rear-biased all-wheel-drive system that adjusts the torque split based on multiple factors. Combine all this with an adjustable suspension, and you have a car capable of making a novice driver feel like a track star. For those looking to lay waste to all challengers, a 600-hp Nismo version is available with different suspension tuning, carbon-fiber aero work and Recaro front bucket seats.

2016 Nissan GT-R will be slightly more modern and should receive a new, more aggressive front-end fascia with sharper headlights. Some air inlets on the sides are also possible and so are new wheels, while Nismo models should get their black 20″ super-lightweight RAYS forged-alloy wheels carried over. Spoiler out back will also be revised, while the double circular tail-lights don’t require any attention at all.
