Rare Bugatti sells for AUD$6.6 million

A rare Bugatti left behind in a UK garage has today sold at auction in Paris for almost AUD$6.6 million - more than double the price of the brand’s modern Veyron hypercar.

The incredible 1937 Type 57S Atalante belonged to the late Dr. Harold Carr, a car enthusiast and collector, and is one of only 17 ever made.

Despite its substantial price tag, the Type 57S may have been picked up for a bargain with initial price estimates at the time of discovery more than doubling the sum at auction.

Built as a special edition model of the standard Type 57, the Type 57S Atalante was lower and more powerful, although remarkably it was not the rarest.

An ever rarer variant of the Type 57 was built by Bugatti, a supercharged Type 57SC which developed up to 149kW of power - of which only two were ever made.

Dr. Carr had passed on the contents of his garage to his nieces and nephews in his will without revealing the treasures which lay inside.

Alongside the rare Bugatti is reported to have been an E-Type Jaguar and vintage Aston Martin.

Nissan to cut 20,000 jobs worldwide

Joining a growing list of manufacturers cutting costs and subsequently staff, Nissan has just announced it will cut 20,000 jobs worldwide, or about 8.5% of its global workforce.

The Japanese giant blames the sharp fall in sales and the glooming world economy as the reason. Nissan expects to lose about 265bn yen ($4.3bn) in the current financial year.

Once the saviour of Nissan and a national hero in Japan, chief executive Carlos Ghosn publicly stated the the firm’s “worst assumptions on the state of the global economy have been met or exceeded. The global auto industry is in turmoil. Nissan is no exception.”

The 20,000 jobs are expected to go between March 2009 and March 2010, this will leave Nissan with 215,000 staff from 235,000. There is no confirmation as to which plants will be affected, although as reported last month Nissan Australia has already cut 50 jobs. The company is also planing to cut working hours for ongoing staff.

The news comes amid an 18.6% sales decline for the brand during October-December last year. As a result, Nissan lost 83.2bn yen ($1.37 billion), compared with a 132.2bn ($2.17 billion) profit a year earlier.

Apart from the 20,000 workers set to lose their income, Nissan is expected to suffer a credibility dint in its home country.

So far this year the majority of car companies have taken steps in reducing staff and output as the doom-gloom sales decline becomes a reality.

Hyundai to unveil SUV concept in Geneva

Hyundai is set to unveil a new compact SUV concept at the Geneva motor show later this year, which has been styled at the company’s European Design headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany.

Codenamed the HED-6, this concept will give a clear indication of the direction which Hyundai will take with its next generation of SUVs.

According to Hyundai, the design team has combined a muscular design with everyday utility to create a car which will fit comfortably in an urban or off-road environment.

Allan Rushforth, Vice President at Hyundai Motor Europe said, “The HED-6 brings an entirely new look to Hyundai’s SUV line-up. It fuses a robust exterior with a fresh and elegant interior, making for an eye-catching package, while its latest-generation power train highlights Hyundai’s clean-technology expertise.”

The exterior look is emphasised by a hexagonal grille, angular style lines and back-swept front headlamps, with the bold look completed by 21-inch, mirror-polished alloy wheels and a specially developed ‘Ice Blue’ exterior paint.

The HED-6 also reportedly marks the introduction of LED day time running lights into the Hyundai range as a trademark feature of the new concept.

Powering the new concept is a 1.6-litre GDi turbocharged engine which develops a rather healthy 130kW.

Also making their world premiere at the Geneva motor show from Hyundai will be the new i30 blue and i20 three-door.

The “blue” label represents a new ultra-low emissions sub-brand from Hyundai which demonstrates the company’s commitment to lowering CO2 output and reducing costs for consumers.

The i30 blue will be the first mass production vehicle to wear the new label and will also debut Hyundai’s ISG (Idle Stop and Go) technology in a production model for the first time.

This technology has been demonstrated to reduce fuel consumption by seven per cent when applied to the 1.6-litre petrol engine, while achieving a lower CO2 rating of 142g/km, compared to 152g/km on the regular i30 1.6.

Lofton and Owens net Daytona front row

Californian Justin Lofton and Daytona Beach native Alli Owens were the top-two qualifiers in ARCA RE/MAX qualifying at the Daytona International Speedway on Friday afternoon. The ARCA season opens Saturday afternoon with the 46th running of the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200. Lofton, 22, cruised around the 2.5-mile oval at a speed of 182.120 miles per hour and Owens was close behind at 181.510 mph. The fast qualifier drove the Lofton Cattle Toyota fielded by David Bean, and Owens was behind the wheel of the Electrifyingcareers.com Toyota owned by Eddie D'Hondt Racing. "The car felt really good," said Lofton. "Driving around here doesn't require too much other than a good handling car. My team has done an excellent job of setting up the car. We used exactly the same set up the team as Bryan Clauson did when he got the Nationwide (Series) pole in July, and it worked again. It was really easy to do, and I don't think we are going out in happy hour. We will leave the car in the impound area, and go relax, knowing we have done the first part of our job." Owens, 20, expressed delight with her rapid run. "We changed engines last night and didn't have any laps on the motor. Going out there and getting the outside pole for the first-time ever is awesome." Teenage sensation Joey Logano qualified third fastest in a Toyota followed by the Toyotas of 2008 Daytona winner Michael Annett and Brian Scott. Five-time Daytona victor Bobby Gerhart qualified his Chevrolet in the sixth spot. James Buescher, Will Kimmel, Craig Goess and Tom Hessert rounded out the top-10 qualifiers.
