sports cars

budisul@gmail.com (budi sulistiyo jati) — Wed, 11 May 2011 00:54:00 -0700

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like sports cars. While other cars are about mundane tasks like getting to work, hauling cargo, and moving the family around, sports cars are all about the open road.

But while everyone likes sports cars (or at least likes the idea of owning one), they are not for everyone. Sports cars give buyers incredible performance, high style, and in some cases, a significant dose of luxury. But they also cost more than some more practical cars, lack useable cargo and passenger space, and have rides that can be too rough for some owners.

For sports car buyers, the driving thrills and the intangible cachet that comes from owning a sports car more than makes up for any drawbacks. If you’re considering a sports car, there are a few things you need to know before you start shopping.

What’s a Sports Car?

Simply put, a sports car is a car designed to put performance before all other tasks. While you can use a sports car as a daily driver (and many people do), sports cars aren’t meant for running errands or carrying car seats. They’re built with racing and enthusiast drivers in mind. As a result, sports cars tend to have higher-grade parts than family sedans. Engines are tuned to produce more power; various components may use alternative materials, such as aluminum or carbon fiber, to lessen weight; and brakes and other components are beefed up to take the punishing kind of driving sports cars are meant for. Because of the changes, sports cars tend to be more expensive than your average sedan or hatchback. Sports cars usually have a coupe body style because this kind of design provides more structural rigidity and better performance. However, many sports cars also have convertible versions. Other types of cars also have performance versions that could be considered sports cars, even though they may be sedans, hatchbacks or even SUVs.

Types of Sports Cars

Sports cars run the gamut from cars that try to balance budget and fun to high-end exotics that cost more than most people’s houses. Within the price ranges there are distinct sports car types as well. A traditional sports car balances engine power with agile and adept handling. This makes them capable both on curvy roads and track surfaces. A subset of sports cars is muscle cars. Muscle cars tip the performance equation in the other direction: they’re all about straight-line power, not attacking turns.

As a class, sports cars have the most varied architecture you’ll see on the automotive market. Some have their engines in the front like all other sedans, SUVs, trucks and hatchbacks. Others have a mid-mounted engine. That’s when the engine sits just behind the driver and passenger, between the two axels. Still others have a rear-mounted engine, which sits just above the rear wheels. A front-mounted engine will give you a sports car that handles similarly to, but better than, most other cars you’ve driven. A mid-mounted engine produces very balanced handling. Because the engine is the heaviest component of the car, putting it between the axels makes the car more stable and secure as it attacks turns. Putting the engine in the rear makes the car handle differently from almost every other car on the road. While few sports cars do this, if you’re looking at one, know that it will take some practice to get used to driving.

Sports Cars and Safety

It may seem that sports cars are less safe than other cars on the road, but when you get down to it, that’s not entirely true. Sports cars do tend to be smaller and lighter than other cars, but manufacturers have put the same safety equipment into sports cars as they do in their other models. The difference is the way sports cars tend to be driven. Sports cars are meant to be driven fast, but the faster you go, the more risks you take on. Driving a sports car safely means knowing your limits and the limits of the car. More importantly, it means driving your car all out only when it’s appropriate -- not on open roads, but on a closed track.

Practical Sports Cars

Sports cars are less practical than other cars. Their designs don’t leave a lot for space for passengers and cargo. Most sports cars only have two seats. And if they do have a rear seat, it tends to be small and uncomfortable.

That said, some sports cars are more practical than others. Muscle cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger have roomy backseats and trunks. The Mazda RX-8 has great power, handling, and a useable backseat. The Audi TT, though its backseat is pretty much useless, does have a large trunk -- and the rear seats fold down, making plenty of cargo room.

You can get the practicality you need without sacrificing the performance you want by going for a performance car. Many carmakers turn out performance-tuned variants of their mainstream models. BMW is known for its M (for Motorsports) designation on its sedans and SUVs, while Mercedes-Benz has its AMG line and Audi has its S line. Though performance cars tend to be much more expensive than their non-performance-oriented counterparts, they use sports-car components and are tuned for thrills.

Buying a Sports Car

Now that you’ve got the basics of what makes a sports car and what you might want to look for in one, dig deeper. We’ve created this guide to help you find the best sports car for you, whether your main priority is safety, looking good, performance or just fitting your golf clubs in the back.

In fact, Honda has only sold 16 142 rows highlight in 2010, and pls we compare the fact that General Motors Chevrolet Colorado pickup, 24 642 sold a little disappointing, it seems that the business case for the Ridgeline is very low, offering individual, not the recent death of the Honda Other All-Terrain moving items.

Parental commercial vehicle segment, it was nice to be busy. Every major manufacturer must select at least one option. Ford has four choices, while Toyota is on the right with three options. Some models have two rows of seats, while others praise for a maximum of eight. Then there are the most capable off-road option with subtle contrast of soft roaders.

While most manufacturers crazy crossover, CUV range of Honda’s two-run single followed. Annual best-selling CR-V, which offers a very small space, lower prices and increased demand for fuel economy, while the largest pilot involves three sets of lines. The pilot is running successfully, in general, during his nine years of production, with high marks for safety (model 2011 has the overall rating of four stars by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration) called and reliability (Consumer Reports recommends the field notes organization). Dancing on the edge of the CUV segment and sales in small quantities, Honda has nearly finished the article and the Agreement on tour, but more square and the CR-V pilot affairs for the marker.

HUMMER HX Concept

budisul@gmail.com (budi sulistiyo jati) — Sun, 8 May 2011 23:00:00 -0700

Well, there's another embargo blown. HUMMERForums dropped all the images they had of the HUMMER HX concept that was due to be officially unveiled in a scant five days, and Jalopnik followed suit. So here it is, HUMMER's Wrangler-competitor in concept form, complete with a 3.6-liter SIDI E85 FlexFuel engine which sends power to all four wheels via a six-speed auto 'box. The HX is technically a convertible, meaning that the roof panels and modular rear can open or be stowed, while the interior instruments can be reconfigured depending on the type of driving you'll be doing. All the details are available in the press release after the jump.

PRESS RELEASE

HX CONCEPT PROVIDES VISION OF A RUGGED, OPEN-AIR HUMMER

Youthful, open-air entry-level-size HUMMER
Designed by a trio of young designers
Convertible body with removable roof panels and modular rear roof assembly
Easily removable fender flares and doors
Full-time 4WD with front and rear locking differentials
Aeronautically inspired interior with functional, lightweight design elements
Reconfigurable instruments for highway and off-road driving
3.6L SIDI V-6 E85 FlexFuel engine with six-speed automatic transmission

DETROIT – With its unmistakable HUMMER design and a compact, go-anywhere driving ethic, the HUMMER HX concept challenges the hierarchy of the trail. HUMMER displayed the nimble, reconfigurable off-roader at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.

More compact than a HUMMER H3 – 81 inches (2,057 mm) wide, with a 103-inch wheelbase (2,616-mm) – the HX concept is an open-air, two-door off-road vehicle that packs the off-road acumen for which HUMMER has become legendary, along with an easily convertible body that acclimates to varied trail conditions, cargo needs or passenger whims. Its design is based on the ideas developed by a trio of young designers who are new to the HUMMER studio.

"The HX is HUMMER's vision an agile, trail-ready, open-air vehicle that fits the lifestyles of everyone who needs or wants to drive off road," said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "Of course, it carries exceptional off-road capability and the distinctive styling for which all HUMMERs are known."

The HX offers an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger, and a modular, removable rear roof assembly. With the roof panels and roof assembly removed, the HX is transformed into a true convertible.

Easy removal of the roof panels and rear-roof assembly enables quick conversion from a closed vehicle to an open one. The HX also was designed with several roof assemblies, allowing this versatile vehicle to be configured as an SUT (with the roof assembly removed), a stylish slant-back or a traditional, wagon-like design that offers a bit more cargo space.

The HX was shown with a slant-back configuration, wearing a desert-inspired matte olive paint scheme, at the North American International Auto Show. Additional convertible features include:

Removable doors – easily removable pins in the exposed hinges allow the doors to be removed quickly – an appreciated feature of many serious off-roaders
Removable fender flares – attached with quarter-turn quick-release fasteners, the composite fender flares can be quickly removed for additional trail/rock clearance, or if the flare is damaged during off-road driving

"The modular design of the roof and removable body panels mark an evolution of HUMMER's design aesthetic," said Carl Zipfel, director of design. "These features demonstrate a deeper understanding of enthusiast desires when it comes to off-road driving – and the slant-back design gives the HX a look all its own."

Purposeful exterior

The design of the HX was driven by input from three young designers who were new to GM and the HUMMER design studio. As part of their "initiation," they were charged with developing concept drawings for a smaller, youthful HUMMER and the HX is a direct result of their creativity. The HX concept is based on one of the designers' original illustrations, but incorporates the best ideas and elements from the other designs.

"HUMMER appeals to young people globally and served as a perfect first assignment for our newest talent," said Ed Welburn, vice president, Global Design. "Today's graduates from top design schools are ready to hit the ground running. The HUMMER design challenge gave our newest designers an opportunity to sprint."

Inside and out, the HX carries a purposeful aesthetic that, from initial sketches to finalized clay models, was refined in only six months.

"This is the HUMMER design language stripped down to its essence," said David Rojas, creative designer. "The HX has an aggressive appearance and great proportions, with beauty lying in its functional austerity."

On the exterior, the lightweight theme is evidenced in the appearance of exposed, billet aluminum suspension components that feature CNC-machined lightening relieves, as well as clean, unadorned bodywork and minimal trim. The lightweight theme is taken to its extreme when the roof panels, roof assembly, fender flares and doors are removed.

Classic HUMMER design cues make the HX instantly recognizable, including the round headlamps located in square housings, an upright windshield profile, minimal overhangs, hood vents and prominent air intakes. The air intakes are functional and feed a V-6 engine beneath the hood, while the hood vents are active – they articulate to allow hot underhood air to escape.

And while the headlamps and grille are clearly HUMMER cues, they've evolved on the HX with a "chopped circle" motif. The grille slots and headlamps, as well as elements on the interior, have the appearance of circles or ovals that have been clipped at the top and bottom, creating a unique appearance that speaks to the vehicle's purposeful aesthetic.

"The 'cut-off' circles suggest larger, heavy-duty components that were trimmed to fit the compact HX," said Rojas.

And while it is unadorned by extraneous embellishments, the HX's exterior is nonetheless outfitted with features that speak to HUMMER's legacy of technology and innovation, including HID headlamps with focusing rings that adjust automatically when they're turned on – much like the lens of an auto-focus SLR-type camera. LED technology is used for the front turn signal lamps and taillamps.

Aeronautically inspired interior

From aircraft-inspired seats to integrated, off-road-ready tools, the HUMMER HX's interior has a beauty that lies in its purposeful intent. It was inspired by the functional and lightweight elements found in aircraft.

"Aeronautical parts are designed to be both lightweight and strong, and that is the feeling exuded by the HX's cabin," said Stuart Norris, interior design manager. "There isn't superfluous trim or decoration – it is a purposeful design that conveys beauty through strength."

Reinforcing the stripped-to-the-essence feel, the exterior's matte olive color carries over onto the interior's largely sheet metal-covered panels. The color is accented with pressed or extruded aluminum components, such as the handles, switches and other necessary parts.

Furthering the aeronautical influence is the instrument panel, which uses an exposed, extruded aluminum cross-vehicle beam as its foundation. On the beam, the instrument cluster and other vital controls are mounted; and it also features a unique, removal top cover that provides significant storage capability.

"The instrument panel is a styling element of the HX, and the removal of the top cover reveals a secondary design that enhances the vehicle's core design ethic," said Norris. "With the top cover removed, the interior conveys even more of a basic essence – and the structure beneath the cover is beautiful to those who appreciate finely crafted metal."

A rubberized floor and ballistic nylon-material covering on the instrument panel and other interior components reinforces the functional aesthetic.

Seating and console details

Like aircraft seats, the HX's seats are constructed on a lightweight framework with minimal components that feature lightening holes and strength-enhancing cross braces or triangulations. They are mounted on exposed, aircraft-style tracks and trimmed with a weather-resistant neoprene material.

The HX seats four, with a pair of bucket-type seats in the second row. The rear seats mimic the front seats' design and can be removed to generate more cargo room. All the seats feature a four-point, racing-style safety harness.

The inner seat track on both front seats is located beneath the outer edges of a prominent center console. The console offers exceptional storage capability and houses a unique shifter that mounts low and out of the way when the vehicle is parked – also hiding from sight the engine starter button. It has a spring-loaded cover that pops up when the driver is ready to select a gear.

The console also houses a resting place for phones, MP3 player and iPods or iPhones. In fact, there is no conventional radio in the HX, only integrated speakers. Passengers plug in an iPod, or similar device, to a USB connector to play music in the HX.

"From the console to the cargo area behind the seats, there are simply untold storage possibilities within the HX," said Norris. "It's like a four-wheel backpack that's already fitted with the necessities."

Gauges and tools

The "cut-off circles" motif of the exterior is seen even more so on the HX's interior, as the gauge cluster, instrument panel vents and even the steering wheel carry the design element.

A three-element gauge cluster – each of the three instrument "pods" carries the cut-off circle design – delivers crucial driver information in either a highway or off-road mode. This conceptual reconfigurable gauge layout uses LCD screens with multiple layouts, including a navigation system. The nav system features GPS and compass information; and is designed to upload trail information before setting off on an excursion.

The center gauge pod houses a speedometer and tachometer, but changes to a wheel angle indicator when the transmission is in the low position. This off-road mode changeover from the highway mode gives the driver information that is more pertinent to the driver conditions. The trail view of a camera mounted in the rear-view mirror can be displayed on the instrument panel, too.

The off-road mode features of the instrument panel comprise the virtual tools of the HX, while others are mounted for physical use, including a folding shovel, flashlight and first-aid kit. They all carry the "clipped circle" design motif found throughout the vehicle.

Ready for rocks, trails and more

With its compact dimensions, almost no overhangs and grippy 35-inch tires, the HX is ready for all terrains. Like all HUMMER production models, the HX has sturdy, body-on-frame construction, onto which is mounted front and rear independent suspensions.

The front suspension features an electronic-disconnecting stabilizer bar for enhanced maneuverability when driving off road, and the rear suspension is located with CNC-machined, billet trailing arms. Heavy-duty shocks with piggyback reservoirs were custom-made for the HX by renowned racing shock manufacturer Fox; one is mounted at each wheel position.

A full-time 4WD system pulls the HX over, through and around off-road obstacles. It transfers torque to the front and rear axles, each of which is equipped with a locking differential. The torque meets the trail via custom 35-inch-tall off-road tires that are mounted on a set of custom, bead-lock-style wheels that have a two-tone appearance; dark-painted wheel centers complemented by silver-anodized outer rims.

A complete underbody armor kit, including a front skid plate, powetrain protection and more, protects the HX from wayward rocks and other potentially damaging objects. A power-operated winch is located in the front bumper, and the HX has recovery hooks mounted on the front and rear bumpers, just in case its help is required for wrangling others out of unfortunate off-road situations.

Motivation for the HX comes from an E85 FlexFuel 3.6L SIDI V-6 that is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is teamed with the 4WD system to offer exceptional low-speed traction and crawling capability. Four-wheel-disc brakes provide confident stopping power.
