Even though the current generation has only been launched three years ago, various sources around the web are starting to report that the Blue Oval will debut a near production version Ford Kuga Concept at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2011.

We are suspecting that it won’t be long now untill the German automaker will drop the full picture on the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, along with detailed specifications regarding performance.
At this point we know that the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is based on the 135i, with power extracted from a 3.0-litre twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine capable of developing 340 HP, which means accelerating from 0 to 60 mph should take less than 5 seconds.
