2011 Audi TT Coupe And Roadster Update Revealed At Leipzig Auto Show

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 22:30:00 -0700

Audi has today revealed details and images for the updated-for-2011 Audi TT. Both the Coupe and Roadster body styles have been given a modest makeover, and the line-up gains a new model powered by Audi’s updated 2.0 litre TFSI four-cylinder petrol engine.

With the use of Audi’s Valvelift system, the updated 2.0 litre TFSI engine produces 157kW (up 10kW on the previous model) and 350Nm of torque (up 70Nm). It is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or, moving up the specs list, Audi’s six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission mated to the quattro all-wheel-drive system.

The 0-100km/h sprint is covered in 6.1 seconds in the manual-equipped model, and a spritely 5.6 seconds with the S tronic and quattro setup.

Despite the boost in output, fuel consumption for the 2.0 litre TFSI engine is listed at 6.6 l/100km – down from 7.7 l/100km.

On the styling front, the updated TT gets simple tweaks to the front bumper with larger intakes and a single-frame gloss-black grille. As is fast being an Audi trademark, a row of LED daytime-running-lights now features along the bottom edge of the headlights.

At the rear, subtly updated tail lights, larger exhaust tips and an oh-so-slightly larger diffuser round out the updates. Thanks to the tweaks at both ends, the TT is now 2cm longer, measuring 4187mm in length.

The more powerful 2011 Audi TTS variant gets a more obvious update up front, featuring a new grille and front bumper with chrome intake frames. The range-topping TT RS remains unchanged, maintaining Audi’s familiar RS styling.

Updates in the cabin are similarly modest, with a new satin-aluminum look to the steering wheel, centre console and door trim. The glove box gets a brushed aluminium insert, and new interior colour combinations are available for the TT and TTS models.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:17:00 -0700

McLaren Press Release

The McLaren MP4-12C is revealed as the first in a range of high-performance sports cars from McLaren Automotive, the independent car division based at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. The 12C, and future models within the range, will challenge the worlds best sports cars, benefiting from the expertise and virtuosity of the McLaren Group.

Twenty years of sports car design, engineering and production combined with inspirational success in Formula 1 have driven Ron Dennis, McLaren Automotive Chairman, to announce his plans for the ultimate line-up of technology-led and customer-focused performance cars for the 21st century. The rules in the sports car world are about to be re-written.

Through a rich modern history, McLarens automotive division has already built the worlds most critically acclaimed supercar, the McLaren F1 (1993-1998) and the worlds best-selling luxury supercar, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (2003-2009). McLaren Automotive now looks to the future with a new range of revolutionary sports cars.

It is a long-held dream of mine to launch a range of high performance sports cars that set new standards in the industry, said Dennis.

We began designing and building cars for aficionados of thoroughbred sports cars almost 20 years ago. Incorporating the leading edge technologies that the McLaren Group has built up within its various companies, I believe we are now perfectly placed to open up this new chapter in McLarens history as well as play a part in the regeneration of high-tech manufacturing in the UK and global automotive environment, he concluded.

At its heart, the McLaren MP4-12C features a revolutionary carbon fibre chassis structure, the Carbon MonoCell: the first time a car in this market segment is based around such a strong and lightweight racing car engineering solution and the first time any car has ever featured a one-piece carbon fibre structure.

This step change in sports car design means that the 12C introduces new standards not just in handling, ride and outright performance, but also safety, economy and practicality in an already competitive sector.

Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal of McLarens racing team highlighted the integral part that McLarens motorsport and road car experience played in developing the 12C: McLaren has for years offered a potent mix of race car and road car technologies. This combination of McLarens performance heritage, and future demands on what is expected of high performance sports cars in the 21st century, gave us a head-start when we embarked on this project. The 12C, and future variants, draws on the spirit of Formula 1 and delivers real-world technological advances.

The first car from the new company, the McLaren MP4-12C, is a high performance two-seat mid-engine model in the core sports car market segment for cars costing between £125,000 and £175,000. The 12C is pure McLaren, featuring no carryover parts from any other car, and will be produced by McLaren in the UK. It goes on sale through a dedicated, worldwide retailer network in early 2011.

McLaren is already a car maker with maturity and experience, having produced iconic cars such as the F1, said Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive Managing Director.

The next step was to construct a range of pure McLaren high performance sports cars that are true to the company’s philosophy and reflect our position as an absolute technology and performance leader. So, when we embarked on the 12C project, we wanted to re-write the rules of sports car design. Indeed, the 12C offers performance and technology that exceeds that of the worlds most expensive and sophisticated supercars, while competing in a much more accessible market segment. And to achieve this result, we designed every component from scratch to meet the extreme goals of the 12C and avoid any compromise.

Forget what you know about sports car companies, McLaren is different, he concluded.

Ford Shelby GR-1

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 21:03:00 -0700

As one of its most contemporary and dramatic front-engine, two-seat, fastback supercars, this running prototype reaches closer to reality with a 605-horsepower, 390-cubic-inch, all-aluminum V-10 engine, a road-tested version of the Ford GT suspension and a stunning new polished-aluminum body.

Ford took the occasion of the world’s foremost showcase of automotive splendor, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, to unveil the Ford Shelby GR-1 concept, calling the new sports car a salute to “performance art.”

The Ford Shelby GR-1 is a uniquely emotional American sports car design that makes a bold statement about Ford’s performance future.

“The Ford Shelby Cobra concept was a small step in our plans for the Ford GT supercar architecture and our relationship with Carroll Shelby,” says J Mays, Ford Motor Company group vice president of Global Design. “And the Ford Shelby GR-1 is a giant leap toward the future.”

The GR-1 concept takes the performance car genre in a new direction combining modern sculptured surfaces in a sleek muscular fastback design. The result is a forward-looking supercar with attention grabbing Ford presence and Carroll Shelby inspiration.

The Ford Shelby GR-1 is a front-engined, two-seat, fastback supercar that is based on the architecture of the Ford GT.

Ford and Carroll Shelby

More than 42 years after their original agreement to produce performance cars, Ford Motor Company and Carroll Shelby are back together producing production and concept cars. Shelby, a former race car driver and creator of numerous collectable performance cars returned to collaboration with Ford in the design of the 2005 Ford GT, which goes on sale this summer.

Shelby worked closely with the Ford Design team and Advanced Product Creation group to develop the Ford Shelby Cobra concept car. In addition, Shelby will produce a high-performance, limited edition, Shelby Ford Expedition, for sale through select dealers next year.

Racing inspired and wholly modern in design, this show car builds on the success of the Ford Shelby Cobra concept – the 2004 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) “Best in Show” winner – and reinforces Ford’s on-going commitment to performance excellence.

The Ford Shelby GR-1 concept is a sinewy, athletic design with a dramatic front engine proportion. The long hood blends seamlessly into the teardrop-shaped cabin while the dramatic fenders dart rearwards into curvaceous haunches thrusting the car forward and enhancing the aggressive stance and width.

The car looks as if it is in motion, even when standing still. The optimized wheel arches and compact overhangs define the dramatic proportion while the sensual surfaces express the car’s athletic nature. A chiseled physique is achieved with sheer and full surfaces working together, interfacing one another in harmonious lines such as the strong shoulder line orbiting the car’s form.

The front of the GR-1 is dominated by an impressive air intake aperture and air flow splitter, directing cooling air into the engine bay and wheel wells, while air vents on the top surface of the hood exhaust hot air from the radiator.

The V10 engine pushes unashamedly upwards into the hood’s surface exposing prominent bulges – a potent reminder of the car’s powerful performance – while air vents at the base of the front screen allow the motor to breathe. Intakes and vents perforate the body side and Kamm tail, further exhausting hot air out of the vehicle.

The front corners of the GR-1 are dominated by the front wheel well and trapezoidal HISS (high intensity solid state) and LED headlamps. The distinctive Kamm tail, a strong concave section, is further defined by the bold vertical tail lights at the rear.

A visor-like side glass graphic gives a hint of the dramatic motion of the butterfly-hinged doors.

The race-inspired, ultimate high performance, Ford Shelby GR-1 is the next chapter in a long line of emotionally-charged Ford supercar concepts.

Building Another Showstopper

Ford worked closely with Carroll Shelby to develop the Ford Shelby Cobra concept for the 2004 North American International Auto Show. The show car was the brainchild of Ford’s Advanced Product Creation Group, engineered in Michigan and designed in California, a partnership which is charged with developing future car concepts and technologies with an eye toward production possibilities. The group used the Ford GT architecture and fully engineered the Ford Shelby Cobra concept. For demonstration purposes, two chassis were ordered for the Cobra concept, but only one show car was built.

Before body panels were even created, the fully-operational running chassis was test-driven at high speeds at Ford’s Dearborn Proving Ground. So pleased were Ford officials with the concept’s chassis that they took the extra demonstration chassis and went to work on another concept before the Ford Shelby Cobra concept was unveiled in January.

The Ford Shelby Cobra and its predecessor, the Ford GT were hits of the two previous North American International Auto Shows. The Ford Design team was challenged to follow-up with another exciting concept.

The Designer

In the Irvine Advanced Design Studio, George Saridakis, a young designer, new to Ford in 2000, was known for his contributions in executing the details of some of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury’s latest production and concept designs.

Saridakis created a sketch that caught the attention of the Irvine team and resonated with Mays.

“George produced this completely resolved sketch – the best I’ve seen in 10 years,” says Mays. “When I saw it, it wasn’t a matter of ‘Let’s do more sketches.’ It was really more of a ‘Let’s get this into clay.’”

Remarkably, only the original sketch of the car, in three perspectives, was created.

“George nailed it in one crack,” Mays opines. “This is a designer so masterful at visualizing every aspect of the car and its story that it literally flowed out of his pen. And because the design is so pure, we really believe this show car will be a hit.”

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:58:00 -0700

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia is trendy sports car . The new bodykit features a fusion of Italian exotics and Japanese tuning to produce the same aerodynamic performance while weighing several pounds less than the stock vehicle. One of the body modifications is a new front bumper that features new air intakes. No word yet on performance upgrades but judging on ASI’s previous work there is sure to be a boost in power. Some other mods to look for is a dry carbon rear wing set as well as a front rake system. Soon to be available will be diffuser fins and as ASI center tip exhaust system and 19-inch forged custom alloy wheels.

Ferrari 599 Fiorano HY-KERS Concept

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 07:54:00 -0700

Quick, name something the Toyota Prius has in common with Ferrari. Tough one? The answer (as of now) is hybrid drivetrains. Ferrari took the wraps off its new hybrid 599 HY-KERS at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show, and it’s as green as Ferrari can make it. Featuring a bit of traditional hybrid tech and a healthy dose of Formula1 witchcraft, Ferrari has manufactured a car that loses none of the dynamic performance of its gas-only brethren.

Ford Fusion

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 07:44:00 -0700

The Fusion’s powertrain lineup has been completely overhauled for 2010 and offers more choices, starting with the four-banger, now enlarged to 2.5 liters from 2.3 and blessed with 15 more hp and 16 additional lb-ft of torque for a total of 175 hp and 172 lb-ft. The manual and automatic transmissions that mate to the four-cylinder each have an additional forward gear this year, too, for a total of six. In spite of its frugal intentions—Ford claims 33 mpg on the highway, but had no figures for city-cycle mpg at the time of this writing—we found the motor to be willing, revvy, and smooth. Ultimate acceleration is on the lazy side of adequate, but the midrange punch is quite satisfying. Ford claims a 0–60 time of 9.5 seconds, but that was the pokey time we recorded in a 2.3-liter car with a five-speed automatic. Additionally, a 2.3-liter Fusion with a five-speed manual was clocked at 8.1 seconds to 60, so we expect the 2010 model to handily outpace Ford’s estimates.

Lotus Exige 265E

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 07:35:00 -0700

Lotus Exige 265E – British make, Lotus Exige 265E is special from other Lotus as it is able to run E85 ethanol and 95-octane unleaded fuel. The boosted 1.8-liter Toyota 4-cylinder inline engine makes 46 more horsepower than its non-ethanol counter part. It is the fastest car ever to leave the Lotus grounds and the first Lotus to promote the use of renewable energy sources at the same time

Renault Clio Campus

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 04:34:00 -0700

Renault Clio Campus

Renault Clio Campus continues its European career with this month's launch of the very latest version of the model. Since 2005, it has sat alongside new Renault Clio in the range and sold in 22 countries, winning over almost 400,000 customers in Europe alone. In 2008, Renault Clio Campus' leading markets were France (40%), Italy (12%), Algeria (8%), Germany (7%) and Spain (6%).

New front-end styling
Renault Clio Campus features a new visual identity, with Renault's design team building on the original design which has proved so popular with customers to give it a more modern and more dynamic feel. The redesigned front bumper and grille have been redesigned. The trihedral panel behind the logo has been dropped and the bottom air intake has been modified to highlight the front end's personality. The juxtaposition of curves and horizontal lines adds a distinctly elegant note, while the foglamps are now incorporated in the bumper and crystal headlamp masks have been added. The decorative black B-pillar trimming gives a more harmonious, flowing aspect to the sweep of the side windows.

Renault Clio Campus is equipped with new flatblade-type windscreen-wipers, and the bigger exterior mirrors not only minimize blind spots but also comply with current rear view legislation. Dynamique versions come with body-colour exterior door handles, exterior mirrors and rear hatch trim, with 15-inch Alyum aluminium alloy wheels and metallic paint available as options.

Sportier upholstery
New cloth upholstery with a black and silver interwoven pattern has been introduced for the most extensively-equipped level's sporty bucket seats. The lateral air-vents, speedometer, rev-counter, gearlever, handbrake and interior door handles are picked out in satin-finish chrome paint, while the instrument needles are red.

Two petrol engines, two diesel engines and one LPG engine (depending on markets)
The Renault Clio Campus range includes a line-up of small capacity engines which all deliver responsive performance and fuel efficiency.
Two petrol engines (1.2 60 and 1.2 16V 75) : responsive performance, economical to buy and run.

Two diesel engines: the dCi 65 and the dCi 85 both emit less than 120g of CO2/km (115g/km and 111g/km respectively).

An LPG version of the 1.2 60 engine is also available. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is clean and economical, and produces less polluting emissions than a petrol engine, while its CO2 emissions are similar to those of a diesel powerplant (126 g/km). This quiet engine runs on either petrol or LPG, allowing the driver to switch freely from one mode to the other at any time. Its total range is consequently even longer, and a light on the dashboard tells the driver which type of fuel is being used at any given moment.

An economical, ecologically friendly vehicle
All the different versions of new Renault Clio Campus comply with the three criteria required to qualify for the Renault eco² signature. The two dCi versions are eligible for the French state's eco-bonus of €700, while the LPG version qualifies for the special €2,000 eco-bonus.

Incontestable quality and reliability
Like all the models which make up Renault's small car range, Renault Clio Campus offers best-level quality and reliability. As a model, it has come of age and its robustness and build-quality have long been widely praised. Renault Clio Campus benefits from the vast experience and expertise Renault has gained with Renault Clio II since 1998 and incorporates the very latest design standards applied by the brand to all new projects.

A compact, versatile hatchback
Renault Clio Campus is built on the same proven platform which has been so highly acclaimed since the introduction of Clio II in 1998, and today still with new Twingo since 2007. This platform delivers a first class compromise between comfort and dynamic performance, and enables Renault Clio Campus to stand out as a truly versatile hatchback.

Clio Campus sits between Renault Twingo (length: 3.60m) and Renault Clio III (4.03m) in the Renault line-up and stands out as the range's most compact five-door hatchback.

Best-level running costs
The engines which have been selected for the range, along with its small size and contained weight, ensure that Renault Clio Campus is particularly fuel efficient. Thanks to the fitment of 14-inch tyres and widely-spaced servicing intervals (every two years/30,000km for petrol versions, or every year/30,000km for diesel versions), maintenance costs are very affordable.

A high standard of active and passive safety
Renault Clio II became the first vehicle to secure a four-star EuroNCAP crash test rating in 2001, proof that the platform on which it is based has active and passive safety built in to its DNA. ABS, emergency brake assist and adaptive front airbags are standard equipment, while Renault Clio Campus's safety credentials can be further enhanced by optional lateral head/thorax airbags.

New owner Hummer the Chinese company Sichuan Tengzhong prepares seriously to expand a lineup of the American manufacturer of off-road cars (while the transaction on sale Hummer is not closed, however, there are big doubts that General Motors will refuse it). It is expected that besides present off-road cars H2 and H3 in some years in the market will appear Hummer H4 and even Hummer H5.

That will represent these cars while to tell difficult. But it is obvious that "four" and "five" will be less present H3. That is it is possible to assume that H5 it will appear rather compact off-road car which begins to compete with Jeep Wrangler.

2010 Artega GT

noreply@blogger.com (Pakuna) — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 21:32:00 -0700

The Artega GT sports car perfectly fills the niche between the range of high-volume production sports cars and the pure driving machines that many sports car manufacturers produce. The combination of impressive driving performance, high exclusivity and social acceptance makes for a unique vehicle profile. Apart from this, this sports car represents a new concept in vehicle construction. The Artega GT achieves excellent driving performance thanks more to its low weight than the high engine power.

Performance

The Artega GT combines a low power-to-weight ratio of 4.28 kg/HP with a state-of-the-art drivetrain; the result is an impressive level of agility. From a standing start, the Artega GT sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in under five seconds. Passenger safety is ensured through highly effective crash modules at the front and back, steel side impact protection, four airbags and the very latest driver assistance systems. Unlike pure driving machines, the Artega GT is also very suitable for everyday use thanks to its spacious interior.

Exclusivity

The Artega GT’s exceptional shape is unique and was conceived by renowned designer Henrik Fisker (creator of the BMW Z8 and the Aston Martin Vantage amongst others). With the length of a small car (4.01 m) and the width of a luxury limousine (1.88 m), the overall look is breathtaking. Also unique is the lightweight and extremely tough polyurethane outer shell. Hand-crafted production in the Artega factory is testament to a high level of individuality. It is here that these unique, hand-crafted cars are produced.

Sustainability

The Artega GT’s exceptionally light weight is down to a range of materials used in the world of racing (aluminium space frame, high-strength steel and carbon fibre-reinforced composites). The low power-to-weight ratio in turn produces a forward-looking ecobalance and surprisingly low fuel consumption values: average fuel consumption, in accordance with the EURO 4 standard, is just 8.9 l/100 km, which is outstanding for a sports car. Resource-saving procedures in production and a high recycle rate also contribute to the social acceptance of the Artega GT.
