World manufacturers, without waiting for the Paris exhibition, showed at the Moscow International Automobile Salon-2006 the novelties of this season. Cars that existed only six months ago in sketches or as laboratory prototypes can already be touched today.

New car dealership met the expectations and fans of high design, and connoisseurs of high technology. So, the design of the M6 ​​model from BMW seems to embody the idea of ​​top speed. The M6 ​​is equipped with a V10 engine, which won the Engine of the year award, and a SMG Drivelogic racing gearbox. The long-awaited debut of the XKR sports coupe of the legendary brand JAGUAR makes a strong impression not only due to the design - it has a fundamentally new rigid body made of aluminum and a heavy-duty motor of 420 hp. Interesting new Volvo S80, a car of elegant appearance, equipped with intelligent control systems. This car seems to be challenging the best members of the premium class. In addition to the second generation Audi TT, the Audi S8 is a luxury sports car with a 10-cylinder engine from LAMBORGHINI Gallardo. The opening of the season can safely be called the presentation of the brand INFINITI, official sales of which began only this fall. The off-road FX, the executive sedan M and the coupe, whose serial production is expected over the next six months, are united by a single design concept in which the sporty style emphasizes the power of the car.

Adrian Van Hoydonk, Designer BMW AG: “The task of the designers is to make the world easier. He is mad enough without us. But the trick is not to spill the emotions the car should cause, simplifying. Pay attention to how some cars look. They have the front, side and back, and everything looks like a box. In our case, this is not the case. The lines of the BMW car smoothly flow into one another, forming a single, dynamic whole. This is a special sculptural design of BMW "
