Maserati revealed its first-ever sport utility Tuesday that targets the lucrative luxury crossover market with Italian styling and part but constructed in Detroit.

The Kubang fills a hole in Maserati’s product line nine years after the company first showed a sport luxury SUV concept car at the 2003 Detroit auto show.

“The Kubang concept creates discontinuity by entering a new segment and continuity by maintaining the integrity of Maserati’s DNA,” the company said.

Mercedes-Benz has released the first teaser image of the 2012 ML63 AMG ahead of its official world debut this week at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The 2012 ML63 features a significantly greener powertrain, with fuel consumption of 16 mpg (14.7 l/100km), up a third from its predecessor.

It will feature a powerful 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine, with an increased power of 518 hp, which rises to 550 hp when combined with the AMG Performance Package.

New luxury car brand Eterniti has unveiled its first vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show (actually only the exterior was revealed).

The automaker revealed the Hemera September 13, promising that the world’s first ‘super-SUV’ will provide new levels of luxury, exclusivity and performance.

Eterniti says that it closely resembles the production version, with carbon composite panels disguising the car’s original roots in the VW large SUV platform.

The Maserati Kubang SUV concept, unveiled yesterday at the Frankfurt motor show, is the company’s answer to the success of the Porsche Cayenne.

The new Kubang was created by the Maserati Style Center headed by Lorenzo Ramaciotti and despite its Jeep platform, is supposed to be all Maserati.

Maserati has also promised that the production version will be powered by a new-generation high-tech Maserati proprietary engine designed in Modena by Paolo Martinelli and produced in Maranello by Ferrari.

A new British car company in the mold of previous greats such as Jaguar and Bentley has released one image of its new model, set to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Eterniti Motors, which describes itself as an ‘independent, boutique British luxury carmaker,’ said September 5 that its first model would be the world’s ‘first super-SUV,’ releasing the first image of the roof.

The Eterniti Hemera is said to feature a ‘limousine-like rear cabin’, complete with reclining seats, iPads and a drinks chiller, making it suitable for chauffeur driving.

Infiniti has released the first picture of a new concept vehicle designed in collaboration with Formula 1 driver Sebastien Vettel.

The brand remains tight-lipped about the rest of the model, which appears to be based on the Infiniti FX Crossover and will be fully unveiled by Vettel himself at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.

The picture shows a more raked appearance for the five-door crossover, with a redesigned front grill and bumper and a prominent trailing roof spoiler.
