Bentley Mulsanne - Clearly, being the owner of this stately saloon is reserved only to a minority group of millionaires who are in the world, however, so if you are available to everyone is thinking power to drive the Bentley has to be a full enjoyment in every mile.

The behavior of this vehicle, generally speaking, be described as faultless considering its size and especially weight. To achieve this perfection has an electronic system is managed from the center console and acts on the hardness of the suspension and the degree of steering sensitivity, three levels plus a fourth setting that lets you customize the combination of these elements.

To no surprise out of each "core" of this model it take to manufacture on an average of 500 hours, this time I always can increase depending on the extras you can add. To give you an idea, a normal car it take to manufacture a little over twenty hours.

Another striking point to note is its engine, which is assembled by hand and signed by the operator who has dealt with him, only for the assembly will take about 30 hours. This usually turns brutal mechanics at very low revs, almost always tends to go below 2,000 rpm but to hurry a voluntary moment of change.

What I do usually try most manufacturers of such cars is to make the best use of the cabin, and we can ensure that this time the relationship between occupants and size is unmatched, and we say this because if the driver is of a size normal we will find that the square behind it is rather childish, otherwise the fourth place will undoubtedly approved almost impracticable.

On the other hand, the front-seat occupant can be found with an absence of instrument panel, which may allow you to be placed later than usual without overwhelming the space for the legs. With this and the thinness of ingenious front seatbacks, rear you can have about 58 inches of knee room, as you can see is a rather poor figure but somehow can accommodate a person of average height.

Another important aspect is that what is said at first boot there is not, but yes, the narrow gap between the rear backrest and body (which is accessed through the tailgate) can Alogar briefcases but quite thin. Not all are disgruntled because folding down the rear seatbacks can have a reasonable cargo space.

Otherwise, the interior shows a good fit and sufficient functionality, while the overall design and the strange triangular center console at the same level are not the refined aesthetic exterior styling with just 3 meters long.

For its launch it was equipped with a 3-cylinder engine line 1 liter direct injection develops an output of 68 hp at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 91 Nm at 4,800 rpm.

2011-10-05T23:25:00.000-07:00

Goodbye Ford Escape Hybrid and welcome is the C-MAX Hybrid - For several years, Ford offers hybrid versions of some models in U.S., Escape and Fusion. This technology is not itself was a product of technological exchange with Toyota in exchange for expertise in diesel engines. In 2012 its first hybrid arrives.

They tell us that the next version will not have Ford Escape Hybrid, but the Ford C-MAX will have one, and lithium-ion batteries. Later C-MAX will Energi, a plug-in hybrid. The yield is 25% higher than the current Escape Hybrid. That in American sizing means 40 mpg (5.9 l/100 km).

Ford's current range has three models that achieve this consumption, the Focus, Fusion Hybrid and the Fiesta. Escape To consider the EcoBoost engines it will be enough improvement, leaving the atmosphere and changing V6 2.0 L4 a Ecoboost, and 2.4 L4 will be exchanged for the 1.6 180 hp EcoBoost.

2011-10-05T23:22:00.000-07:00

BMW sells 2 million Car in the UK - Until 1980, the German manufacturer had no official presence in the UK, it was then that BMW GB Ltd. was formed, later renamed in 2005 as BMW UK Ltd. The first copy they sold was a BMW Serie 5 (E12), namely a M535i (the grandfather of the M5) in the same January 1 of that year. This week the car has sold two million.

It has taken 31 years, and beside that a BMW E12 530d poses proudly GT. The descending part of the 2,500 units sold the GT in the British Isles since 2009. Audi and Mercedes-Benz have not sold many cars in that area yet. Readmore BMW ActiveHybrid 5, a 340 hp hybrid sedan

Series 5, in general, has nearly 6 million sales worldwide and began selling in 1972. The E12 generation, first of all, was for sale until 1981. He almost lost the British. Remember that to sell cars in these Lares is a little steering wheel need to have the other side, and that had its complications.

The Volvo C70 will be produced in 2013

2011-10-04T21:09:00.000-07:00

The Volvo C70 will be produced in 2013 - In 2006, the Swedish brand Volvo C70 renewed its, ahead of the trend of retractable hardtops, four-seater vehicle. In 2009, the convertible again received a facelift, to put up with the new design line of the brand. In fact, it was the first to receive this update aesthetics.

However, without further changes to the aforementioned facelift, the brand has seen sales of its convertible still did not improve (10,000 units in 2010 worldwide), and ultimately decided to withdraw from the market in 2013. One of the main reasons is that, from a financial standpoint, these 10,000 units are not sufficient to maintain the Uddevalla plant, which produced only this model. Readmore Volvo Hatchback

The good news is that the 600 employees working in Uddevalla will be relocated to other production plants in Sweden that Volvo has. However, it is a shame to lose an alternative to the models we have today. From my point of view, the Volvo represented an alternative to the ubiquitous completely different German models.

Nissan Micra DIG-S, will more than 1,000 miles without refueling?

2011-10-04T21:03:00.000-07:00

Nissan Micra DIG-S, will more than 1,000 miles without refueling? - Yesterday, while walking through a mall, I noticed a billboard of Nissan Micra DIG-S. The slogan caught my attention, as happened to at Autoblog Sphyrna Answers. This announcement flirts with false advertising, but we can not treat it as such. Let the TV spot.

Worth the price of 10,300 euros is that of the Visia and show us a Tekna Premium. It's a totally common practice and fine print with a TV is HD (another thing to allow time to read it). I mean about the more than 1,000 miles without refueling.

According to European approval NEDC cycle, has a consumption of 4.1 l/100 km, and a reservoir of 41 liters (or one more), then in principle, are not fooling anyone, but the "more" spare, unless extra urban cycle. Eye, the Tekna Premium spends 4.3 litres/100 km and that is less than 1,000 km or approval in hand. It squeaks. Readmore Nissan X-Trail limited edition Formigal

A practical case of uninformed consumers (which abound)

Imagine my name Menganito, and I have not heard or will hear what's that NEDC cycle. I buy a Micra, attracted by its consumption seen in advertising. I am someone who has little money to stock and waiting to go to refuel every 1,000 miles and beak. Then come the disappointments. Tank after tank, I do not get to 1,000 kilometers, but hurry up running out of petrol.

I think it is broken, I take it to Nissan, and I say it is perfect. Over time, I discover Autoblog, and read the test of Nissan Micra DIG-S. In this test, one achieves Hatzive consumption 5.1 l/100 km, and that a driver is not running. By simple arithmetic, do not go 1,000 km per tank, but less. That's when I feel cheated.

That consumption is approved, approved. It seems very irresponsible and questionable use these data as a selling point. This goes for Nissan, and any other brand. Without going any further, my car homologous 4 l/100 km and day to day, I spent 5.8 litres/100 km. But I know what it is, it's normal. I know it is not broke, I'm more informed than normal.

The responsible thing would be to say that test cycle, the car spent it, and explain to the client with a graphical NEDC cycle what that is. You have to tell you that real consumption will certainly be higher, unless flowing in ideal thermodynamic conditions, without slope, etc..

Only a difference of 20 degrees, a car spends more (lower thermal efficiency). Just because you have less pressure 0.2 bar on wheels, spend more. By taking our chubby friend (who weighs two other passengers) also increases consumption. Having the storage trunk also increases consumption.

I would here require a code of ethics and ethical advertising on cars, in any medium, but it will be like yelling at the sky for rain. I put Nissan's example, but I find in any manufacturer. A car is a car and your circumstances, do not live in the world of ideal conditions (or all would attach more).

In the 90 consumption were announced otherwise. For example, the Citroen AX Diesel 3.6 l/100 km approved 90 km / h (see announcement). And it's easy to find people in Spritmonitor spends little, in fact, the average is 4.64 AX Diesel l/100 km. And neither milk nor HDi were aspirated diesel "zero technology".

At that time I have the feeling that advertised consumption were much more realistic. For example, my other car is at the time, I approved 10.5 l/100 km and my actual consumption is 10.4 l/100 km. There is a difference of almost 50% as with the Prius, is so negative.

Instead of clinging to the authorized consumption as straws, should make their own tests, according to an alternative approved rules, and say, "This car has spent so much at 90, both at 120 and both in the city to an average of 21 km / h ", which was done in the 90's. And sure many people would feel happier with their actual consumption!

BMW ActiveHybrid 5, a 340 hp hybrid sedan

2011-10-04T20:59:00.000-07:00

BMW ActiveHybrid 5, a 340 hp hybrid sedan - Year and a half ago, the German manufacturer introduced its BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid Concept. Then it passed us it was a hybrid sedan, capable of running solely driven by an electric motor and a power that would be around 340 hp. Now BMW unveils the final appearance of his saloon, and many of technical data and explanations on the propulsion system.

As many of you know is not the first BMW hybrid model, because the brand sells two models, the ActiveHybrid7 (derived from the BMW Series 7), and the X6 ActiveHybdrid (derived from the BMW X6). The technology used by these vehicles is not fully equal to the BMW ActiveHybrid using this 5, because this model unveils some technical solutions to be discussed later.

Interestingly, the model similar to this that we find in the market, the Lexus GS 450h also just been introduced to the public. Both have very similar power (around 340 hp) and a nearly identical average consumption (6.4 liters in the case of BMW and below 6.5 liters in the case of Lexus). We also know that the BMW emits 149 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer.

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 motorization

The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 uses a gasoline internal combustion engine with three-liter twin-scroll turbocharger and an output of 306 hp (this is using the BMW 535i), which combines with a single electric motor of 54 hp. We speak of a pure hybrid that can travel longer being driven solely by the electric motor.

At last we know the maximum distance that the car can travel with the electric motor, four miles (an average of 35 km / h), provided that not exceeding 60 miles per hour and the driver is smooth with the throttle and not have to overcome major interchange.

The gearbox is eight relations, and as we advance the BMW Concept 5 Series ActiveHybrid is able to decouple the motor from the transmission to prevent energy losses by friction. This function may only take place when traveling in electric mode or deceleration, if not go over 160 kilometers per hour.

Another important aspect worth talking in a car like this is the battery. In this case, BMW has used a 96-cell, lithium ion, and with 1.35 kWh of theoretical capacity (although he uses 675 Wh) for powering the electric motor and air conditioning system. Will placed in the trunk, between the wheel arches, so that the trunk of the BMW happens to have 375 liters of luggage compartment, compared with 520 normal model.
Equipment and aesthetics

As a way to save energy, BMW has joined the management of the hybrid route planning through the browser, which is standard. For example, if you have the expectation that we will go up a ramp but then let it down, you can vary the combination strategy to be more efficient engines.

In addition, all BMW ActiveHybrid 5 come standard with the system Control Driving Experience, in which the driver can choose between different driving modes such as Sport, Sport +, Comfort, and how that puts efficiency, called Eco Pro According to BMW driving so frequently employs the use of the electric motor, while fuel provides.

As for the exterior, the brand has revealed that the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 will have 18-inch wheels with a specific and efficient (reduce friction with the air), and also may be chosen in a unique color, called Bluewater Metallic .

Kicherer Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster GTR Supersport - The German Kicherer has one of the first jobs we have seen on the newly released without gullwing gullwing ie convertible or roadster version of the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, which incidentally, is now on sale our country.

Externally there are significant changes, especially in regard to the front. The grille has been replaced by a specially created artisan Kicherer also added a new front spoiler, side skirts and optionally a small fins on the hood, all in carbon fiber. To top it off (literally) the design, the RS-1 wheels are 20 inch five double spokes. Readmore Mercedes-Benz B-Class

Under his skin has changed the suspension for a coilover type that equips a system called Front up, which can raise the nose of the vehicle to deliver speed bumps or other obstacles. The new stainless steel exhaust has two twin and has a valve system so we can choose between a beeping sound and a more forceful.

In the mechanical part has also been amended. The first level, thanks among other things, a sports air filter, the 6.2-liter V8 increases the power of 571 hp from 630 hp to the series. If you still want more, a second level adds a sports catalyst and new exhaust manifolds allows us to achieve 650 hp and 720 Nm of torque. With this last level, accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds and reaches 320 km / h top speed.
