Everything you need to know about the 2016 LA Auto Show
Tags:
The Los Angeles Auto Show, which is set to run from the 18th to the 27th of November 2016, is a prominent event on motoring fanatics’ calendars the world over. Attracting hordes of enthusiasts since 1907, it’s a meeting place for likeminded individuals and automotive manufacturers alike. What follows, is a list of a few exciting vehicles that will soon adorn the 760,000-sq. ft. exhibit space.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Named after the Stelvio Pass in Northern Italy, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the brand’s first production SUV and shares a great amount with its Giulia sibling. Rivalling the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC, it receives its grunt from a range of turbocharged four-and-six cylinder units, including the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 found in the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Honda Civic Si
The Honda Civic Si has been a name to grace many automotive portals off late. With details remaining scarce, it is uncertain whether the Civic Si will be powered by a tuned version of the 1.5-liter unit found in the Civic RS, or a detuned version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine found in the Type R. What’s certain, however, is that it will sit below the Type R and will pump out between 220 and 230 horsepower.

Jaguar XKSS
The Jaguar XKSS, a sheer beauty of a vehicle, dates back to the late 1950s and is considered to be the world’s first supercar. Recreated by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division, it’s a testament to the statement “old is gold” with aluminum bodywork and the works.
Nissan Sentra NISMO
An unlikely candidate in the brand’s line-up to undergo the NISMO treatment, the Sentra is a compact sedan that competes with American rivals such as the Chevrolet Cruze. Previewed some three years ago and spotted testing recently, the Sentra NISMO is likely to be powered by a turbocharged 1.8-liter unit chucking out 240 horsepower and 325 Nm of torque through a limited slip differential to the front wheels.
Stay tuned for more as it unfolds, folks!
