<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <em>2025 <b><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Bugatti">Bugatti Aerolithe Concept</a></b></em> is the work of Douglas Hogg, a Coventry graduate. The design draws its inspiration from the original Bugatti Aerolithe concept showcased at the 1935 Paris Motorshow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The old Bugatti Aerolithe concept was also the inspiration of the Atlantic 57SC.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Future in Mind</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Designed 75 years after the original Aerolithe was launched in Paris, Douglas Hogg has introduced the modern interpretation of the design. The car looks quite futuristic, despite being based on a design that was made quarter of a century back. Hogg suggests that he has used a minimalistic approach in pure surfacing for the design and applied a principle of Ettore Bugatti for Automotive design.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The car design represents simplicity, elegance, and intelligence. The design follows a smooth flow, uncluttered by door handles, external mirrors or spoilers. It's in complete harmony with advanced aerodynamics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The underbody aerodynamics are an important feature of the design that allows two air channels to traverse the entire length of the body, funneling air from the front of the body to the diffuser at the rear, producing enough down force in the process to keep the car glued to the tarmac at high speeds.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of the key features of the design include aeronautics inspired split canopy doors, split windshield, pronounced windows, bullet proof windows, lightweight construction material and Bugatti's signature front grille.<img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27742" height="249" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2025-Bugatti-Aerolithe-Concept-studio-side-Profile-480.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-width: initial; display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" title="2025-Bugatti-Aerolithe-Concept-studio-side-Profile 480" width="640" /></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Performance</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The car is powered by a Microturbine-battery hybrid powertrain. Microturbines do not power the wheels directly and merely function as a generator to charge up the batteries on the run and acts as a range extender for an otherwise purely electric vehicle. A single fill of the tank can make this car run up to 800 miles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Bugatti">Bugatti</a> Aerolithe design is a great concept that showcases the design elements that may inspire the cars of tomorrow. It's a great tribute to Ettore Bugatti, who was way ahead of his time when he launched the first Aerolithe.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408214614990561575.post-23334872456058643752012-02-17T20:18:00.000-08:002012-02-17T20:25:55.360-08:00Latest 2012 F&M Evantra Car<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27674" height="298" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-FM-Evantra-Profile-480.jpg" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-style: solid; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-right-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-top-style: solid; border-width: initial; color: #222222; display: inline; float: left; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; text-align: -webkit-auto;" title="2012-F&M-Evantra-Profile 480" width="640" /><br />

This limited supercar series will be produced at a rate of only five models per year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The customization and production of each model for its client will be personally supervised by the car's builder, Luca Mazzanti.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whats in a name…</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The F&M Evantra derives its name from an ancient Etruscan goddess, and was formulated by Hungarian car designer Zsolt Tarnok. The Evantra is a mid-engine super car, meaning the engine is mounted nearer to the center of the vehicle. This engine layout more evenly distributes the engine weight on all four wheels, and makes the vehicle faster and easier to turn.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;">Exterior & Interior</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The body style of the Evantra is a two seat coupe. The car buyer will decide how the body will be constructed from one of two different options. The first option is called PRO-BODY, and will use all composite materials for assembly.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The second option is called ONE-BODY, and will be an exclusively hand-crafted aluminum body which can be thoroughly personalized by the buyer. The engine and body will be combined on a light-weight steel chassis.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The outer lines of the Evantra have the popular symmetries of many mid-engine sports cars, and the profile curves are smooth and classically molded. Several stylish details, and a mixture of concave and convex surfaces, express a distinctly competitive nature bordering on hostility.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The doors open outward and upwards making for very easy entry and exit of the vehicle. All in all, the 2012 F&M Evantra supercar is a very beautiful and sleek rocket on wheels.</span><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27676" height="234" src="http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-FM-Evantra-Side-Profile-closed-480.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-width: initial; display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" title="2012-F&M-Evantra-Side-Profile closed 480" width="640" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The launch commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Chevrolet brand and after more than 40 years, a Corvette is being rolled out with the legendary 427 name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The new <em>Corvette 427 convertible</em> is the quickest in the history of Corvette, thanks to its powerful engine and light-weight construction.</span><br />

Engine the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">2012 Alpina BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Convertible</span> powered by all-aluminium V8 power plant produces 507hp (373kW) at a moderate 5500rpm, with a maximum torque of 700Nm between 3000rpm – 4750rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each feeding one of the two cylinder banks, with specially developed large diameter exhaust-turbines allow this engine configuration to provide both exceptional power output and an abundance of torque over an especially broad rpm range while maintaining excellent throttle response at low rpm. The systems excellent thermodynamic efficiency is guaranteed by a large-volume low-temperature inter-cooler radiator, as well as two water-toair inter-coolers placed close to the engine. Altogether this results in an impressive specific output of 115.3 horsepower (85kW) per litre and a mean total compression of 20.1 bar. Direct injection and Double-VANOS contribute to the Alpina BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Convertible class-leading consumption and emission figures 10.9l/100km (25.9mpg) and 255g/km CO2 (Combined, measured according to ECE Norm).<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="intelliTXT"><span class="linkarticlefuture article_body_future mgn5_b" id="ctl00_ctl10_ctl00_lblArticle">The car is essentially an open-air version of the new two-place <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Mini"><b>Mini</b></a> Coupe, but instead of a hard top styled after a backwards baseball cap, the Roadster wears a black fabric roof. Unlike the four-place Mini Convertible, the Roadster's roof is manually operated. Drivers simply twist a latch on the windshield frame and pull the roof back to its resting place behind the front seats. Instead of offering a pair of rear seats, the area behind the front seats is home to a shelf for carrying small items, and a 14-by-8-inch pass-through into the trunk.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="intelliTXT"><span class="linkarticlefuture article_body_future mgn5_b" id="ctl00_ctl10_ctl00_lblArticle">The Roadster is about the same length and width as the Coupe or Convertible models. Its windshield is sloped much more steeply than on other models -- 13 degrees more than the Convertible -- and it is tapered at the top to give a trapezoidal appearance from head-on. With the roof up, the Roadster has a bubble-shaped profile that reminds us of the original Audi TT. The sloping shape and narrower windshield make the Roadster slightly more aerodynamic than other <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Mini">Mini</a> models. It also rides 0.75 inch lower than the Convertible.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span id="intelliTXT"><span class="linkarticlefuture article_body_future mgn5_b" id="ctl00_ctl10_ctl00_lblArticle">As in the Coupe, the Roadster's chassis is stiffened by grace of extra bracing in the rear of the car and reinforced rocker panels. The car has an electrically operated rear spoiler, which opens at 50 mph and retracts when the car slows to 37 mph. It provides a claimed 88 pounds of downforce at high speeds, helping improve the car's stability. The use of a manual roof, however, lowers the Roadster's center of gravity, and the car is lighter than equivalent four-seat Convertible models. Curb weight ranges from 2635 pounds for the Cooper Roadster, to 2800 pounds for the Cooper S Roadster.</span></span></span><br />

All joking aside, the 1.6-liter turbo will likely be happier with synthetic oil running through its veins. In discussing which oil to choose with associate online editor, Benson Kong, we both found it surprising that <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Nissan">Nissan</a> didn't fill the Juke with synthetic at the factory.

It’s a four-way exhaust two sewer pipes astern and one per side, exiting just in front of the rear wheels. A restrictor plate in each side pipe lends the Boss federal pass-by legality, but the baffles can be unbolted in less time than it takes to read this review. It’s lucky that the rumble is so rich, because the engine is seriously loud at idle. <br />

</tbody></table>The Boss’s suspension has likewise benefited from a lavish labor of love. Compared with the GT, it boasts higher-rate springs, a fatter rear bar, new bushings, and 19-inch Pirelli P Zeros that, at the rear, are mounted on 9.5-inch-wide wheels. What’s more, each shock offers five settings that are adjustable via screwdriver, creating the possibility of very strange chassis behavior at the hands of very strange owners. Again, is Ford brave or what? And experimenting with dampers is educational and fun and will make you feel like Parnelli Jones’s crew chief.<br />
The steering rack is electrically power-assisted and can be toggled to comfort, standard, and sport modes. We preferred standard, even at the track. The other settings felt as if they did nothing more than alter effort. No matter. The steering was ever accurate, progressive, and informative, with peerless interstate tracking.<br />
At the front, four-pot Brembos clamp onto 14.0-inch vented rotors. The pads are near-race-spec compounds, although they don’t squeal, and the brake lines have been hardened to prevent expansion. On the road, pedal feel proved sublime—fairly hard but bang-on linear—and it was a cinch to modulate braking right on the threshold of ABS. Fade? None that we encountered during nine-tenths lapping around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.<br />
As a dance partner in the hills, the Boss eagerly goes all bossa nova, laying down its prodigious power with surprising smoothness. The chassis felt remarkably balanced, usually neutral, leaning toward power oversteer only in the tightest turns. Despite its super-quick transient responses, it never felt nervous. This Mustang is so agile, so responsive to delicate inputs, that it makes the GT500 feel like a FedEx truck. The Boss’s grip almost always exceeds the driver’s courage. What’s more, the ultra-short-throw shifter was an ally, although its gates are so close that a clumsy upshift from second will sometimes collect fifth.<br />

</tbody></table>Ford has forever treated its Mustangs as blue-collar contrivances of unprepossessing heritage. The cockpit thus remains dour and rudimentary, despite the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and faux machine-turned aluminum trim. The acres of coarse pebbled-plastic surfaces, in particular, would be (and have been) rejected in far less expensive machines, notably in Ford’s own Focus. The gaping void between the top of the rear tires and the rolled fender lips is an eyesore. The steering column doesn’t telescope. And the brake and accelerator pedals should be closer.<br />
The base Boss fetches $40,995; major options include a Torsen differential and Recaro seats (together costing $1995), plus the so-called TracKey software. If you’re headed for the track—and why wouldn’t you be?—then all are mandatory. In total, 4000 examples will be assembled, which isn’t even half of the original Boss 302’s two-year production. That sum includes 3250 base Bosses and 750 Laguna editions.<br />
We expected the Boss 302 to be little more than a marketing exercise in nostalgia, a somewhat more brutal, slightly faster GT, with alluring graphics but primitive predilections. It isn’t. Nose to tail, this feels like a whole new equine, thoroughly sorted, conscientiously massaged, the object of considerable forethought and ambition. As automotive resurrections go, this is a knockout that venerates the original Boss while embarrassing it objectively and subjectively in every meaningful measure. What this is, is the best Mustang ever.<br />

CrossCabriolet customers will likely call California, Texas, and Florida home; be predominantly female, well-educated, and 40 to 45 years old; and make roughly $125,000 annually.

The Land Rover customers are a tad luckier than the Land Rover customers around the globe, because they received the commercial version of Land Rover Discovery 3 (LR3) first.<br />
Right from the time of its launch the <strong>Land Rover Discovery 3</strong> has established a class-leading span of potential and has accumulated awards from all over the automotive world. Seeing the immense success of this version of vehicle, the Land Rover Discovery 3 now has been engineered with the support from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as a N1 Light Commercial 4×4. The commercial version of the Land Rover Discovery 3 will be immensely beneficial for the business users, as they will therefore get a chance to take the Benefit in complete VAT regain allied with Light Commercial Vehicles and Kind tax.<a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"></a><br />
The commercial version of Land Rover Discovery will be available in two versions: the Discovery 3 XS Commercial and the Discovery 3 Commercial. The standard features for the vehicle includes 2130 ltr of load space having a complete length phenolic floor, two-piece bulkhead, privacy glass, Terrain Response and four corner air suspension.<br />
Speaking at the launch, the Managing Director of Land Rover told that the “Ever since the <strong><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Land%20Rover">Land Rover</a> Discovery 3</strong> was launched in the market, the dealers have been receiving a wide number of requests for its commercial derivative. As a matter of fact of the consumers actually brought the standard models of the vehicle and then converted those models into commercial models on their own”.<br />
The introduction of <strong>Land Rover Discovery 3</strong> commercial version means that for the very first time, buyers will be able to purchase a Land Rover approved Discovery 3 commercial vehicle, which will be benefiting them with immense levels of handling, ride, equipment and comfort that is offered by the standard Discovery 3. We also believe that the Land Rover Discovery 3’s commercial version will further redefine the 4×4 commercial segment of automotive world.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408214614990561575.post-77959779766745331892011-03-02T04:49:00.000-08:002011-03-02T04:49:22.265-08:002011 Ford Focus Touring Cars Details and Spec...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"><img alt="Ford Focus Touring Car" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3287" height="420" src="http://www.sanjayacars.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2011-Ford-Focus-Touring-Car-Front-Angle-View.jpg" title="2011 Ford Focus Touring Car Front Angle View" width="590" /></a><br />

The <strong>Volkswagen Bulli Concept</strong> electric motor output of 85 kilowatts of power and an impressive 270 Nm of torque. As usual in this type of unit, the maximum forces generated from the standstill. The silent motor is powered by a storage capacity rechargeable lithium-ion maximum of 40 kWh. This combination can lead to an electrifying 300 km – a high value for an electric car. When the battery is charged Volkswagen Bulli to a “power of the refueling station” designed specially for electric vehicles, the charge lasts less than an hour.<br />
The new Volkswagen Bulli Concept accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds and top speed is 140 km / h (electronically limited). Its scope and characteristics make it ideal not only compact car for short distances, but also ideal for most commuters and recreational activities with zero tailpipe emissions. Obviously,the concept can also incorporate Volkswagen’s extremely efficient petrol and diesel engines with direct injection as a replacement disk. Engines with 1.0 or 1.4 liter engine, which is still high fuel consumption, it is cut by the book.<br />

The new edition of the <strong>Volkswagen Bulli Concept</strong> is 3.99 metres long, 1.75 metres wide and 1.70 metres tall. The T1 was somewhat longer and taller, but narrower. With a wheelbase of 2.62 metres, the Volkswagen Bulli utilises the overall length very well. Also striking here are the Bulli’s relatively large track widths (1.50 m front and rear) in relation to body width.<br />

The engine is supported by Saab’s innovative eXWD system. It comprises a rear drive unit housing a 25 kW (34 hp) electric motor/generator powered by a small battery pack. Regenerative braking is used to sustain the battery’s charge.<br />
The overall shape of <strong>Saab PhoeniX Concept</strong> is apparently molded by the wind. Closely-rich liquid-like skin, the teardrop cabin resembles a dark ice block and appears to erupt from the center of the muscular bodywork. Two large waves on the flow along the hood of the windscreen pillars are disguised as if barely able to contain a strong structure below. At the rear, the dark screen also bursts through the outer skin of the rear deck, conical shape of a drop back styling cues Ursaab, while a “sawn off” Echoes Kamm tail coupe form first Saab Sonett.<br />
The front design Saab PhoeniX is characterized by a tight interpretation of the three-door Saab grille. A body-colored central wing is now dominant and, in keeping with the car’s minimalist design, LED headlamps are almost invisibly located at its tips.

Sol-sopped Andalusia, the birthplace of flamenco and Picasso is a landscape of color Cordoba lonely hills stitched with vineyards and olive groves as well in the back of a donkey. A 204 mph, Andalusia aerosols in a test of brown and green.<br />
At 204 km / h, even if it rolled on the pavement, paid lavish loans of the European Union seems dangerously thin and lumpy mounds of the shortcomings are invisible to the speed of sound scary exclamation-de-DOS. A 204 km / h, if you look down to check the speedometer just one second, you will lose the next 299 meters. We flirt with the cerebral cortex overload signal 204, but the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is just the end of it and speed up the second 54 km / h before the intervention of the electronic speed limiter. mask down and signs on for more emergency exits can not do this problem, the FAA ertified.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"></a></div>Apparently it is a standard Veyron is a jellyfish pansy and self Bugatti create the Super Sport. The model has the last word, ie Veyrons the last 40 cars to drive the total production of 300 Price: one hundred thousand billion billion dollars, or it could very well be. $ 2,426.904000 for the Super Sport will pay (at the time of this printing), you can also buy a <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Ferrari"><b>Ferrari </b></a>458 Italias 1910 and has $ 127,654 left for lunch. His attempt to build a final blow to the work of the super-rich, Molsheim operators are not very concerned about the practical constraints, such as fiscal prudence, or even the laws of physics.<br />
For example, using the Super Sport more power than another 20 to stand out from the rental fleet Veyron $ 1,700,000 with his ponies piddly 1001. Why not a second you? Bugatti probably found. But it was decreed that a bump of 20 percent of the production of 1200 hp and 1106 lb.-ft. of torque genug. Enough. So to say that the Germans running subsidiary of VW bus crazy, and they do not say that very often. Consider these facts Bugatti prices Supersport 1.65, € 1,000,000 and LOADS FROM 10 TO 12 buyers expected U.S. rate based on market exchange for cash. So if the dollar softens with a few cents against the euro sticker, car window jumps over $ 16,000.<br />
Each buyer also pays U.S. Supersport 2.71 percent duty on imports, or about $ 62,000 plus shipping costs $ 51,000 and $ 6400 tax for gas guzzlers federal. Adding an extra year for a mere two years Veyron costs of factory warranty nearly $ 70,000, but buyers Super Sport to get it free. A set of Super Sport Michelin special cost $ 42,000 and can last 10,000 miles if you pay attention, if they last only 15 minutes by car top speed (at this rate, however, the tank of 26.4 liters is sucked dry in just 10 minutes and there is no place on earth safely so fast that long anyway, so no worries). At the third change of tires, Michelin also requires that you change to $ 69,000 wheels per chance the only wheels that match the tire to ensure proper bead.<br />

A customer pays sills with illuminated “words that can not be replicated,”said an official Bugatti. If you want Super Sport finished in carbon fiber body with clear coating instead of paint, add a $ 428,180, just a little more than the price of a new Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. Let’s be frank: The car is completely spiritual. At the Super Sport to drive in the dusty hills near Jerez de la Frontera, although his chief engineer, Wolfgang Schreiber, admitted that it is easier to find a decent hedge fund manager to use as places of 1001 horses, not to mention the 1200 “Most of our customers to manage a very common occurrence. Very slow, “said Schreiber. “So we need to change can see and feel at all speeds”.<br />
Since 2005, the Bugatti Veyron is 243 in the hands of the customer, to form a discussion group of all kinds. According to Schreiber, buyers say they want an advantage on handling the car skosh. We feel your pain. We meet every Veyron has accelerated as a player outside the line of Shiva cricket bat, but managed no better than the average <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Lexus"><b>Lexus</b></a>. Maybe that’s why this kind in the history of Texas, driving his Youtube in a pond. Either that or he’s an idiot. Whatever. Bugatti says the Super Sport embodies everything learned from the Veyron and its customers over five years. No, does not come with a boat, but the revised agreement of the shock and stabilizer bar, stiffer is to help increase lead connection and participation. The nose dives into the corners with much more enthusiasm, and body movement is controlled better, which gives the driver a better idea of when the threshold is between excel in a fast lap and fly in low orbit.<br />
Rather, it is vital in a Hypercar that can easily triple your speed between mailboxes. So are the carbon brake discs and Super Sport compounds (15.7 inches in front) are literally breathtaking. If a truck suddenly turn into your lane, you can drag the error of 140 miles per hour, for example, 53.7 with enthusiasm and incredible pedal instead to leave a hole twice the width of the front license plate if want to cause cardiac arrhythmias his passenger. For the Super Sport in automobile production mph land speed world record 268 (Super Sport actual production is limited to a saver tire 258 mph), Bugatti Veyron’s softened a bit like Humpty Dumpty. Most notably, bazookas polished aluminum on the back of the Veyron that regular air block for the engine are gone. In its place is like a turtle shell of carbon fiber that forms a tunnel where the driver can see where he stands back and is cut flush with twin NACA ducts.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-653" height="352" src="http://sanjayacars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/2011-Bugatti-Veyron-16.4-Super-Sport-4.jpg" title="2011 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Transmision View" width="576" /></a></div>If you want to display the engine, it takes two technicians about 30 minutes to remove the couple of dozen screws holding tank. Yet Schreiber said ducts increase the power by creating a larger ram-air bazookas, while offering less resistance. In addition to the nostrils open Bugatti radiator, added a few sites below the headlights that the air feed directly on the front brakes and redesigned front splitter and rear diffuser to increase support. Reprogrammed with rear wing was added, the body produces 882 pounds of support to its maximum speed. At 204 km / h, we can report that it feels stable in car.<br />
The extra output-199 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque comes in four turbochargers are 10 percent larger and bolted to the warp of 16 cylinders are kept unchanged in the rear. A less restrictive exhaust contributes. Fuel pressure is mounted, and a pair of fuel pumps in the tank there are two in the base car, four in the Super Sport juice-making. The seven-speed dual clutch automated manual beefy hard drive shafts through a second and third team strengthened and a large gear seventh, making for an alleged coup Highway 10 percent in the number of miles. With its carbon fiber panels on the exterior, the Super Sport is 110 pounds lighter than the base, with aluminum body Veyron. A new fiber, carbon stiffer tissue is used in the bathtub and saves only 55 pounds. Bugatti also installed the rear differential cooler gill in the front passenger in the rear diffuser, which reduces the pipes, unique wheels and shaved 25 pounds net.<br />

With its high panels and dash, feels more like a jacuzzi real quick. He is raised indoors and not the kind of delicious high you get in a Ferrari. The tires whine oppressive at any speed, the voice engine is mostly white noise of whirring and won. It exists primarily as an art object for its owner and a circus parade car fawning public. It is perhaps a peak of internal combustion engines performance, the last word before the nascent dictatorship electrical impulses.

Overall CO2 emissions are just 89 g / km, but Land Rover Range e Concept has a maximum power of 339PS system and a top speed of 120 mph, offering fuel economy of 85mpg. Improved fuel efficiency from the hybrid system makes 690 miles possible on a full tank of fuel.<br />
The <strong>Land Rover Range e Concept</strong> is one of a series of projects supported by the UK Government’s Technology Strategy Board and five prototypes are currently engaged in a test program with other members of the Land Rover CABLED – Coventry and Birmingham demonstrators low emissions – a consortium. Land Rover hopes its plug-in hybrid will be on the market in the near future, following on from the debut of its first standard diesel-electric hybrid models from 2013.<br />
Land Rover continues to recognize the need to work with all our CO2 emissions such as weight reduction, reduce mechanical losses and increase powertrain efficiency and our hybrid technology represents one part of the research and development journey.<br />

The auto major Toyota motors is planning to expand their production capacity in Russia by means of a joint venture with Russia’s Sollers in Vladivostok in the Russian Far East and Japan’s Mitsui Corp.<br />
The joint venture that the company is planning to start at Sollers’ Vladivostok plant will solely focused on Toyota’s Land Cruiser Prado model only initially, and considering the temperatures and terrain of that region, we think it’s a pretty smart move, and definitely will benefit the company and the customers.<br />
The joint venture in its early stages will see investment of millions of dollars for modernization of the Sollers plant.<br />
<a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"></a><br />
Most of the cars manufactured there will be intended for Russian market, and the company doesn’t have plans to manufacture more than 30,000 Toyota Prado per year. The vehicle will be delivered through Trans-Siberian Railway to the European Russia.<br />
We don’t have any information about the share of each of the company in the joint venture.<br />
As per Japan’s Nikkei business paper, <a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/search/label/Toyota"><b>Toyota </b></a>sees the Far East Russia as a hopeful region for future expansions in the country, especially considering the fact that several government incentives and programs which are scheduled to be implemented there.<br />

This is the first all-4 for Ferrari, with V12, four seats, and a smarter hatchback look. The manufacturers believe that this model with attract not only its usual customers, but also a new species that love to drive in all-weather and on all-roads.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Designed under the supervision of Ferrari’s chief designer, Flavio Manzoni, Ferrari FF 2012 is set to launch later this month in Geneva Auto Show, and will hit the showrooms almost instantly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main reason behind launching it during this weather is more people would prefer taking it for skiing vacations uphill due to its all-four-drive feature. The chassis have been improved drastically, with larger wheelbase, with all independent suspensions, Brembo disc brakes, and adjustable dampers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another unique feature of the car makes it more attractive. 4RM (Route Motor), known to be used only in Ferrari units, makes use of the electronic system to direct power to its front wheel, when conditions of the roads demand it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The new Ferrari FF has got 6.2L V12, which is said to have about 22 percent more power than the popular 612. What is more interesting is 7-speed gearbox, with dual-clutch facility.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The efficiency improving techniques that were introduced in California has been harnessed by Ferrari, which is believed to have improved the mileage and overall efficiency by about 10 percent. The engine is capable of producing 650 bhp at 8000 rpm, and a torque of 504lb at 5000 rpm. However, the carbon emission is surprisingly lowered to 360gm/km from the previous 470gm. A similar astonishing improvement has been noticed in fuel efficiency, increasing from 13.8 mpg to 18.3 mpg.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to comparing the FF with 612, the former beats the latter in almost every aspect. The acceleration from 0 to 62 mpg can be achieved in about 3.3 seconds, while it takes about 3.7 seconds for that in 612. The top speed of 208 mph too beats 612 by about 10 mpg. Despite the usage of all-four-drive drive system, it weighs about 12lbs less than 612.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although both models seem identical, buyers will most certainly compare the two before any decisions.

The BMW 320 TC racer that will run up in the 2011 WTCC is quite the impressive machine but according to some rumors, the driver it’s going to have behind the wheel is more than that. <br />
I’m somewhat skeptical about this whole Tom Coronel for BMW idea but the man does have his plus points as far as being a racer is concerned.<br />
<span id="more-3621"></span><br />
Tom Coronel has been selected as first driver for Roal Motorsport, the Italian team run by former racing drivers Roberto Ravaglia and Umberto Grano. <br />
According to Ravaglia, the BMW 320 TC stands a very good chance at the 2011 WTCC title with Tom Coronel behind the wheel. The team leader sees a great mixture between the new performance of the car and the very large amount of experience of the 38 year old Dutchman.<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_3623" style="width: 470px;"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"></a></div>While I don’t really have all the information they have about drivers and the 2011 season of the WTCC but I do know some stuff about the BMW 320 TC.<br />
<object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YS4K00yw9UI&hl=ro_RO&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YS4K00yw9UI&hl=ro_RO&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="500" height="390"></embed></object><br />
As far as the car is concerned, I agree with them, the 320 TC develops no less than 316 horsepower from a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine.<br />

Hopefully that car and the team support will see Tom Coronel gain another title this year apart from the Formula Nippon championship he took back in 1999.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408214614990561575.post-59418917877319036112011-03-01T20:14:00.000-08:002011-03-01T20:14:13.138-08:00Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Overview<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="entry"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-610" height="352" src="http://www.autolinemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/lamborghini_sesto_elemento.jpg" title="lamborghini sesto elemento" width="576" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to Lamborghini, no doubt, people simply await for its news. This time, while making concept car by Lamborghini, few reports have come stating that Lamborghini is getting prepared to produce Lamborghini Sesto Elemento soon. However, possibilities are more that this news is just a rumor.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sesto Elemento concept was planned as a design study, simply to preview the style and technology one can expect in future of Lamborghini super cars. Sesto Elemento was envisioned to see on the next generation supercars, but shortly after unveiling this concept at the Paris Motor Show few months back, reports began to flow on air that there are chances of Italian automaker to put this concept into production. Well, even if the rumors become reality, one thing is sure that the productions are limited.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The truth is that an exotic car dealership located in German is already listing Lamborghini Sesto Elemento for sale. Even though the original listing of this report is no more present on the mobile.de online marketplace, one site, the Auto Salon Singen have that listing available on its website with nearly €2 million ($2.63M USD) list price. The sale is of €1.9m before tax and after that the price will be €2.3m.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If the original listing is no more available on the website – mobile.de online marketplace then a question arises that why Singen is still presenting the listing. Does Singen know anything which is still undercover? Apart from this, many other questions come to mind regarding this rumor or true story into the loop.</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408214614990561575.post-17342970122589077742011-03-01T20:02:00.000-08:002011-03-01T20:02:31.074-08:00New 2011 Volvo S60 Review<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />

However, some of the other features that the car boasts simply make it stand out of the rest. It would be a sedan for people, who want a revamped sports sedan, and not the old, stereotype sports sedan. We recently reviewed the 2012 Volvo S60 to check how impressive the Swedish engineering is this time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Swedish design can be unmistakably recognized from its exteriors, which might just not fit on any of the German sedan. These include the 7 spokes of 18-inch wheels, thinner tail lamps, and smart headlamps with LED incisors. Anyone glancing it for the first time, would recognize the color are ‘fluorescent brown’, but it is Blazing Copper. This paint, hardly found on any car, would not even go with the elegant design of <strong>Benz</strong> or a <strong>BMW</strong>, but suits perfectly to S60. The end result is a car that is very exclusive and unique in its own manner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Interiors are as elegant as a Swedish design should be. Instead of several knobs and buttons scattered near the steering wheel, it has a single-screen with several rows of buttons, which pretty much covers everything. At first, it seems that the clutter has been cleared, and the interiors look much tidier that most sedans have. But this space-saving technique makes it a bit difficult to operate for the user. We would have preferred having at least a few additional buttons that would make operations a bit more user-friendly.</div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408214614990561575.post-31698147007670910812011-03-01T01:59:00.000-08:002011-03-01T01:59:40.761-08:002012 Fiat 500 Review<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />
<div class="entry"><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://autostech.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-781" height="352" src="http://www.autolinemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/2012-fiat-500_cd_gallery.jpg" title="2012 Fiat 500" width="576" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have been driving cars for a while now, spending just about 5-10 minutes driving a new car tell you much about it. The journey ahead simply builds up on the first impression. However, the overall idea remains the same.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Same was the case with <strong>2012 Fiat 500</strong>. When we first drove it, our first expression was it is sporty, it is strong, and it is enjoyable. Now we understand why the car is so popular in the European countries. And we are sure that it would be loved by most Americans as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Small cars have been the trend off lately, only because a few brands dared to launch the concept of compact size – Mini and Smart. However, now every small car have been accepted by the citizens, and many were discarded quite quickly, just like the case with ForTwo. With America, king-size has always worked well. So, for a car to establish its base here, it really needs to have something to smile about.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2012 Mini 500, although small, doesn’t seem to have a toy-like model. When compared with mini Cooper, the length of the car is only about 6 inches small, 2.2 inches narrower, but is about 3.2 inches taller. For a small car, it is really easy to look out of place, and difficult to fit in with the crowd. The latter worked for 500.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The car acquires an Italian look, which makes it quite popular in Europe. There are absolutely no changes from its predecessor, NAFTA 500, expect for the American look it has received. And these changes are not really visible, at least on the first look. These include a change in the headlight, and the change of position of the fuel filling door.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The designer who had designed the car for the EU market, has designed it for the American market as well. And he understands the needs quite well. This is the reason why the EU 500 had spare tire under the trunk, while American 500 has it under the car.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The crashes that happened recently in EU were used to advertise the speed, power and safety of the car. While the compression of the front hood displays it capacity to drive at high speed, the 7 air bags that open up at the time of crash boasts its safety features.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With 101 horsepower and 1.4L, 4-cylinder engine, it makes a good drive for any American. It has a five-speed manual transmission and six-speed manual transmission gearbox, to enjoy the drive. Interesting, the chassis design is impressive. The rear axle, which is noticed immediately, boasts a stouter design. This also allowed the designer to soften spring rates, and revamp the settings of the damper.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2012 Fiat 500</strong> will enter America in 3 models. Pop will be available for $15,500; Sport for $17,500 and Lounge for $19,500. The last model is the frst model with more luxurious features. However 500 Sport is available only in the US, which has protruding front, comfortable sporty seats, red-brake calipers, rear spoilers, and 16-inch wheels.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While the overall design is great, the graphics on the Sport model makes it look at bit out of the place. It doesn’t go well with the model, as the other two models do. The center trim has the color of the body, which provides more option to the owner to re-design the inner part.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When we drove the car, it is not as tiny as it looks. Meaning, it gives a feeling of driving a heavy car, as the movements are well controlled and solid. Power steering makes it a smooth drive. Effort to be applied on the steering is not too heavy, but not to light too. However, this effort changes when you toggle the Sport button on, and there is also a change in throttle mapping.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Both, the five-speed manual transmission, which was fun driving, and the six-speed auto transmission that shifted without any fuss, were satisfying. This is anytime preferable over the 6-speed auto gearbox of <strong>Ford Fiesta</strong></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
