New pic and infos on facelift 2012

[NR8]

Hi there,

the most important german car mag "Auto, Motor, Sport" gave some information on the facelift 2012. Next to 450 hp for the V8 and 560 hp for the V10 (!) as well as a DSG they show the following pic:

And obviously this will be presented at the Frankfurt auto fair IAA in a few weeks. Official market presentation in Q1/2012.

Those lights can be cool! I would like to see what they look like at night.

Those lights are identical to the ones shown in the LED project photo... I'm not sure if it's true?

Those look weird. And they don't leave much room for the real headlamps.

I tried Google translate on the small accompanying news items, but it didn't do a very good job. There is something about the magnetic ride. Could someone provide a better translation?

I like it.

maybe the magnetic ride will updated to Delphi's newest version- also to be seen in the 2012 camaro LZ1. apparently it can react 10X faster than the current one.

wasn't there a whole thread debunking the myth of those headlights?

also- GT owners who haven't even received their cars will be furious to know the V10 will the same hp AND DSG.

not sure i buy the whole thing. bit if it is true i can see a ring time less than 7:20.

Isn't this just another photoshop (based on that university deisgn study) +"insider says" piece? Can't see anything in it that claims this is official

Perfect! Thank you.

They forgot to photoshop (inset) the passenger side front grill (slates).
