WORLDLY BEAUTY?

Renault’s recent unveiling of the Megane lineup at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show was a welcome surprise, not only for its customers. Now, it’s the Megane Coupe-Cabriolet’s turn and like the top-range RS 265 seen at Frankfurt, the Megane CC comes with an all new face that made use of the company’s new design philosophy and in doing so, threw away the bland, happy-to-be-there look of its predecessor.

FROM GMA NEWS: Bus falls off Skyway near Bicutan, over 20 dead

At least 21 people were killed after a bus fell off the southbound part of the Skyway in Taguig City before dawn Monday, the Philippine National Police’s Highway Patrol Group said.

“Confirmed ang 21 patay at mahigit 20 ang sugatan as of now,” PNP HPG spokesperson Superintendent Elizabeth Velasquez said in an interview on dzBB. Early rush hour traffic was snarled in the area as the service road below the Skyway was closed to vehicles, radio dzBB’s Mao dela Cruz reported.

The report cited initial police findings showing the accident involved a Don Mariano Transit bus that fell off the elevated part of Skyway and crashed into a van below.

HOW THE GERMANS DO IT

Brabus 850 — the words you see on the number plate, or license plate if you’re on the other side of the pond, mean that you’re looking at something special. How so? This is one of the world’s most powerful estate cars, bragging 6.0-litre Bi-Turbo engines. With 838hp ready to unleash all its fury, it’s fair to say that rear tyres can very much be regarded as consumables. So this stand gives a very powerful welcome to Germany’s annual Essen Motor Show.

BEST ENGINE?

This is the 20th year for the Ward’s 10 Best Engines awards and as many as 44 different powertrains were tested. Out of the 10 winners, eight featured direct fuel injection, six came with forced induction and one was even electric. The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 made the list for obvious reasons. Despite maintaining Chevy’s smallblock pushrod legacy, the engine features advanced technologies such as direct injection and cylinder deactivation and can return as much as 29 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a large displacement V-8 delivering 455 horsepower in standard form.
