VW Shanghai Neeza SUV Concept to debut at the 2006 Auto China Show

So what have we here? Although we couldn't make much of the translated press release, from what was understandable to us, we know that VW Shanghai's SUV-Crossover concept will make its world debut at the upcoming Auto China Show 2006 that runs from the 21st to the 27th of November in Beijing.

The Chinese version of Motortrend Magazine gives us a better view of the Neeza which could be a rebadged Audi Q7 with suicide doors, but before we jump to any conclusions we'd better wait for the English press release.

2006 SEMA Show: 600Hp 1967 Volvo Amazon Hotrod!

After the Buick 1964 Buick Electra 225 Convertible, here's another classic that will surely stir up some attention at the 2006 SEMA Show: a lusty, custom built 1967 Amazon Hotrod. Although the Swedes haven't released any info yet -apart from the fact that it was chosen from 600 or so customized Volvos on display at the Vallakra Meet, in "Sweden"s Hottest Volvo" contest last summer, we know that this custom built Amazon wears a 6cylinder engine producing 600Hp.

2006 SEMA Show: Volvo C30 by Heico, Evolve & IPD

Volvo just unleashed its trio of spiffed up C30's for the 2006 SEMA Show. I know you all dig the camouflage paint job of the Heico Sportiv and the gull wing doors of the IPD, but I think you'll agree with me that the show star here is the yellow crazy 507Hp Evolve C30 that looks like it jumped straight out of a Group-B Rally of the 80's! (Click on the pics to enlarge)


Evolve C30: Horsepower is the name of the game here, with 507 stampeding ponies thundering through all four wheels. Race-inspired suspension, gigantic brakes and a screaming yellow high gloss paint scheme over wild body lines highlight the Evolve C30. Sequential twin turbos, exotic exhaust plumbing and an advanced heat exchanger promise eye-popping performance from this C30. Inside are highly bolstered seats, a safety structure and custom leather touches


Heico Sportiv/Burton Snowboard C30: A joint collaboration between German tuner Heico Sportiv and Burton Snowboard. Fully drivable with 300Hp and factory electronically controlled 4wheel drive, it features a height adjustable suspension, custom cut Toyo tires and an complex six layer camouflage paint job. Inside, there's a portable GPS system and gleaming 2008 Burton snowboards and boots.


IPD C30: Draped in the colours of the Swedish flag, the IPD pumps out 384Hp retaining its factory front-drive layout and puts its best foot forward by offering up plenty of electronic fun and a thoroughly custom fabricated interior, highlighted by a touch screen in the floating center stack and a heads-up instrument display. But the icing on the cake is the fully functioning gull-wing style doors.
