One report filed on Auto Bild is saying that the McLaren Automotive may squeeze in some seats to pave the way for a 2+2 MP4-12C. If ever this will materialize, this version will be the first 4-seater rolling off the Woking line but it will not be the first McLaren to have more than a pair of seats. Remember that the McLaren F1 has a 1+2 configuration with the driver of the supercar right in the middle which is a design not used for the MP4.

Now InsideLine is disputing this earlier rumor claiming that they got word from the PR department of McLaren, and that there will never be a 2+2 version of the MP4-12C. They are saying that anybody thinking that the British car manufacturer is on the drawing boards to give the market a range of vehicles with more than a pair of seats is wrong.

McLaren may really after all just focus on making a two seater, mid-engined MP4. If ever there will be a 2+2, then your other date must take the back seat.

With the Start&Stop system, the Fiat 500 e-car can automatically turn off its engine whenever the car is on a complete stop. The ideal set up for this is situation is during heavy traffic conditions. Aside from allowing the car to be more fuel efficient, this Start&Stop system also limits the CO2 emission of the e-car.

The manufacturers also thought about safety precautions when they added this feature to their Fiat500. The Start&Stop system can be turned on or off by the driver with a simple push of the button. In any event that the driver chooses to control the car’s ignition manually, s/he may easily do so.

Several control strategies and sensors have been installed in the car to allow for a smooth flowing drive. With the Star&Stop system turned on, the e-car’s engine will only come to a complete stop when the 6mph speed range has been reached after pulling away.

The driver needs to step on the clutch pedal first before the engine can be restarted. To protect the car’s heating system, the Start&Stop system’s operation has been disabled while the engine is still cold.

It also won’t work when the battery is on a low charge, when the heated rear window is active, when the front wiper is set to maximum speed, and when the car is on park maneuver.

Also, when the car has been put to a complete stop for more than three minutes while on Start&Stop mode, it can only be restarted by turning the ignition key manually. Manual ignition is also needed when the driver’s seatbelt is unfastened and/or a car door has been opened.

The stylish, two-seat, hybrid Essence concept car by Infiniti is sure to make a big splash in the European market. And even if Infiniti has yet to confirm if they will be producing the Essence model, its luxurious and curvaceous design will definitely be evident in future Infiniti models.

The Essence concept car carries Nissan’s 3.7-liter V6 engine, which produces 434 horsepower, partnered with dual turbochargers. Found between the transmission and the engine, is a starter-generator that conveniently adds another 158 horsepower. This add-on allows the Essence to accelerate at low speed using electric power.

Stylish being the operative word, Infiniti commissioned Louis Vuitton for the three-piece luggage set that fits snugly in the small trunk space. The luxurious black color scheme of the driver’s area reeks of a kick-ass sport-car feel while the passenger area is clad in an equally stylish and rich red color scheme.

Of course, the Essence carries many new technologies like the crash prevention system for the rear and sides. An alarm will go off warning the driver for possible crashes while an automatic brake system will kick off when the sensors perceive a solid object within its range. This will become useful when the driver tries to change lanes or backing up, especially on cramped parking spaces.

No promises have been made but it is assumed the Infinity will take on the Essence concept when other luxury automobile giants like Aston Martin and Bentley start producing new models despite the alarming world economy.
