Tata will offer the cheapest "hybrid" in the world!

noreply@blogger.com (carz) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:10:00 +0000

The company Tata has surprised a few years ago stating that it has launched the cheapest car in the world. In principle, from Tata is to be expected mass inexpensive car (rather than elitist and expensive), but the alleged price - not more than $ 2500, caused a fair suspicion. Should be recognized that the commitments the company, albeit with reservations, but nevertheless complied. And now has information on how that is preparing hybrid Tata Nano. Thus the Nano will be more and the cheapest in the world of hybrid car.

Ratan Tata said that careful attention to the environment - one of the priorities of the company, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that it will be more "green" Nano.

Specifications are still unknown to us, but they certainly will be more than modest, we are entitled to expect. Above all, the car must be very economical and provide a record low impact on the environment.

Of course, hardly be expected that the Tata Nano Hybrid will retain the same price corridor, this one does not expect - all the same hybrid technology costing considerably more expensive than traditional, but the fact that the Nano is the cheapest hybrid, I believe!

7. Citroen C3 Picasso

A year ago, VW Golf, received 3rd place, this car certainly could compete for high places this year, but unfortunately, the title may claim only models released this year. But, as you see, honor respected brand defended kid Polo.

"German products" represented as Opel and Mercedes-Benz. Recall that last triumph was the Opel InSignia, this year's results as worthy. Should be recognized that well-deserved, because Astra producers failed.

Supercar Arash AF-10 first appeared in public nearly three years ago, when in 2006 at the Motor Show in London debuted its experimental prototype. Since then, the British company Arash Cars has undergone some personnel changes and overcome the crisis, and only now approved the final design of its sports coupe, which was first demonstrated in serial form.

Arash AF-10, which is to some extent, not very good copy of the Ferrari Enzo, designed to be a supercar, available for buyers who are a bit short of money for an Italian sports car. The expected cost of new items will be $ 534 000, while the manufacturer hopes that it will win the audience of other manufacturers of compact supercars such as the Koenigsegg and Pagani, as well as lower prices of cars such as Lamborghini brands and Ferrari.

Most of the sports coupe body AF-10 is made of carbon fiber, including the chassis, which has a positive impact on weight - the weight of the British supercar is not more than 1200 kg. This is 160 kg less than the Ferrari Enzo and 500 kg less than the mass of a massive Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

The source of power in favor 7,0 liter V8 engine from the Corvette Z06 LS7, generating 550 hp and has 630 Nm of maximum torque. As the gear used 6-speed mechanical Graziano.

In the near future, the manufacturing company plans to introduce top-end version of the AF-10S, equipped with a turbocharger. In this case, capacity will reach 800 hp In the long term - release versions rated at more than 1,001 hp and 950 Nm of peak torque.

In the next five years is planned to release only 70 cars, and if there is demand, the automakers may represent a cheaper model called the AF-8, which will naturally become less powerful (and less expensive) version of the Arash AF-10.
