McLaren MP4-12C

It's been a few days since I last had the chance to post some wallpapers, so I'm coming back with something special today: the McLaren MP4-12C. A gorgeous car with performance figures to match - enjoy!

Renault Twizy

There are two reasons I personally believe electric cars will never be an answer to the car as we know it today. First and foremost there are the inherent problems of storing enough electricity for long drives and the expenses that accompany this, and second there is the incredibly dull image electric cars have had since the first electric milk float was launched.

Sure, there have been some sexy electric cars: the Tesla looked nice, and I'm a huge fan of the Fisker Karma, but those both cost an arm and both legs!

And then I first saw this car: the Renault Twizy. Still not the most gorgeous car I've seen, and I'd hate to have to drive my daily commute in one, but at least it doesn't look as dull as an office-gray cardboard box.

If the electric car is to become an all-round success, it should offer the same we're getting now from our beloved petrol and diesel cars (and preferably a bit more)... At least Renault made a decent effort with the styling of this Twizy - but I'll let you be the judges...

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé

It's been a few days since I've posted a set of pictures, real life has been keeping me quite busy. I did have the chance to pop out today and go to my local BMW dealer to order some winter shoes for my car. While talking to my contact, one of these awesome BMWs drove in... It looks even more stunning in real life than in these pictures, I can assure you!

Citroen Nemo (aka Peugeot Bipper aka Fiat Fiorino)

Relatives of mine have bought a new car this week, so there you have it: the reason for posting this Citroen Nemo today!

I didn't even know of the Nemo, but apparently it is positioned right under its slightly bigger brother the Berlingo, and it is based on the Fiat Grande Punto. It's also available under the name Peugeot Bipper and Fiat Fiorino - as they are all based on the same platform. There's also a people carrier version available, which is called the Multispace (or Fiat Qubo if you want to buy the Fiat counterpart). All of these versions are built in Bursa, Turkey.

While it may not be the worlds most beautiful or fast car, it sure seems like a practical car. Frankly, at first sight I can't see that much of a difference in space between the bigger Berlingo and this Nemo, but then again, I haven't seen the Nemo in full size yet. As for looks and performance: personally I rather like the looks (especially in the Nemo edition pictured below of course), and if you're looking for performance in this segment of cars, then you're probably out of luck.

All in all I wish them many happy kilometers with their new car, and here are a few pictures of the Citroen Nemo to celebrate their new vehicle.
