Porsche präsentiert auf der Auto Shanghai 2013 mit der zweiten Generation des Panamera den weltweit ersten Plug-in-Hybrid in der Luxusklasse. Neben dem S E-Hybrid mit 416 PS Systemleistung debütieren außerdem zwei luxuriöse Executive-Varianten mit verlängertem Radstand und ein komplett neu entwickelter Dreiliter-V6-Motor mit Biturbo-Aufladung für Panamera S und Panamera 4S. Der Panamera S E-Hybrid ist die konsequente Weiterentwicklung des Parallel-Vollhybrids mit kraftvollerem Elektromotor, leistungsfähigerer und energiereicherer Batterie sowie externer Auflademöglichkeit am Stromnetz. Der Elektroantrieb leistet mit 95 PS (70 kW) mehr als doppelt so viel wie die 47 PS (34 kW) starke E-Maschine des Vorgängermodells. Er bezieht seine Energie aus der neu entwickelten Lithium-Ionen-Batterie, die mit 9,4 kWh über mehr als den fünffachen Energieinhalt der bisherigen 1,7 kWh-Batterie in Nickel-Metallhydrid-Technik verfügt.
Weltpremiere auf der Auto Shanghai 2013, der wichtigsten Automesse in China, feiert das VW CrossBlue Coupé, mit dem die Wolfsburger einen Ausblick in die Zukunft geben. VW-Design-Chef Klaus Bischoff: „Das neue Coupé lebt von einem harmonischen Dreiklang. Es ist robust im Auftritt, sportlich in den Proportionen und von zurückhaltender Eleganz in der Skulptur und den Linien. Diese Studie wird zweifellos Einfluss auf künftige SUV-Modelle haben.
BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900/Magnum (Unlocked Quadband) GSM Cell Phone Only 10.5mm thick, with a stainless steel frame and an attractive glass weave battery cover, the new Bold is a hybrid device, boasting both a 640x480 pixel capacitive touch screen and a full Qwerty keyboard. Underneath the skin, it’s a modern smartphone with a 1.2 GHz ARM processor and 768MB of RAM. The Bold also has 8GB of flash storage (expandable with up to 32GB of microSD cards).

In addition to MyFly technology, COBRA is reaffirming its status as the first club manufacturer to offer a choice in color by creating the AMP CELL Driver in four fresh colors – Silver, Directoire Blue, Barbados Red and Vibrant Orange.
