New car diary for October 2011

Make: Porsche

Model: Panamera - Turbo S

Released: Oct 2011

At $440,200 the Panamera Turbo S represents a $68,000 price premium over the all-wheel drive Panamera Turbo on which it is based. That buys the most powerful version ever seen of Porsche's 4.8-litre petrol V8, producing 410kW and 750Nm outputs (increasing to 800Nm for short bursts in ‘overboost’ mode). The result is a sprint to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds.

Make: BMW

Model: 1 Series

Released: Oct 2011

BMW's bigger and more upmarket – but still rear-wheel drive – 1 Series hatchback will go on sale in Australia in October with an all-turbo engine range mated to an optional first-in-class ZF eight-speed automatic option for the three models available from launch. A raft of high tech fuel-saving measures are also set to be included.

Make: Chrysler

Model: Voyager

Released: Oct 2011

The 2011 Voyager gets new front-end styling and an upgraded cabin. A new 210kW/350Nm 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 replaces the current 3.8-litre V6 and will be matched exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission. The current 2.8-litre turbo-diesel option should continue alongside.

Make: Skoda

Model: Yeti

Released: Oct 2011

The Yeti compact SUV is expected to be Skoda’s key model for sales volume. To be priced in the high-$20,000s against rivals such as the Toyota RAV4, the Volkswagen Tiguan-based Yeti will include 77TSI 2WD petrol and 103TDI AWD diesel versions, when it arrives in the third quarter of 2010, with a petrol AWD variant on the wish-list for local arrival in 2012.

Make: Aston Martin

Model: One-77

Released: Oct 2011

The Aston Martin One-77 is claimed to be the most expensive car in the world – costing approximately $4 million. Only 77 examples will be built. All body panels are sculpted by hand from aluminium sheet and the interior tailored for each of its 77 owners. Power is by a 7.0-litre 522kW V12 engine.

Model: BT-50

Released: Oct 2011

Make: Jaguar

Model: XF

Released: Oct 2011

A scowling new face and other cosmetic exterior and interior tweaks will be the most obvious changes to Jaguar's 5 Series rival. Refinement will be improved and a new four-cylinder diesel engine producing 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque will combine with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission in Jaguar's eco-XF. Revised XFR flagship to appear as well.

Make: Volkswagen

Model: Tiguan

Released: Oct 2011

Make: Toyota

Model: Yaris

Released: Oct 2011

Production delays mean that Toyota's crucial bigger and more efficient new third-generation Yaris will not arrive here until October. An efficient 1.3-litre engine with optional Super CVT-i geabox is the most likely powerplant. The new Yaris sedan, which is yet to appear, will follow the two new Yaris hatch models into showrooms some time next year.
