Audi R8 Car Features Concept

The Audi R8 (Typ 42) is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car,which uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. The Audi R8 is fitted with 6-arm 18-inch wheels as standard, and can optionally be ordered with 19-inch wheels. The 235/40 size tires at the front and up to 285/35 at the rear provide the necessary road-holding. The mid-engined sports car's long wheelbase and extremely low center of gravity ensure that it always retains maximum stability.

The R8 is due to be replaced with a brand new model in calendar year 2014.[11] The highest output version of Audi's new 4.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine is expected to power the new car. This engine is scheduled to be previewed as a detuned version in the 2012 Audi S8—with 518 hp (386 kW) on tap.[citation needed] In the R8 application it is expected to produce about 600 hp. Combined with an approximate 200 lb (91 kg) weight loss, the new R8 is expected to compete well with the new Porsche 997 twin turbo model and will likely perform significantly better than the current R8 GT with a 0–60 mph time in 3.2 seconds and a quarter mile in less than 11 seconds. A dual clutch automated gearbox will be offered for the first time.

Skoda Rapid Features Style Design

This latest Skoda Rapid concept from Dalibor Pantucek has been developed while keeping in mind that lot more remains incomplete to make a perfect eco friendly car which is superefficient, lightweight and sturdy vehicle for prolonged use. The designer thinks that it’s a time for revolution, for a new ideology of the car and to go beyond the creations of cars like Prius. As a result, the designer envisions Skoda Rapid concept that features a super and sleek frame which can be transformed by changing the length, depending on the type of travel - from city to highway.

Features and specification

1. The  vehicle is expected to have a five speed manual transmission with minimum turning radius with the superb suspensions increase its appreciation.
2. The front lighting system includes multi reflector headlamps, turn indicators and round shape bright fog lamps with the styling body design.
3. With the 1.6L petrol/diesel added with dual transmission modes (Auto/Manual) to provide better efficiency on fuel.
4. The average fuel efficiency is 11ltr in the city and 15 ltr in highways of better performance and acceleration which provides maximum power and performance level torque.

Skoda Rapid concept may not seem too consistent with the traditions of Skoda, however; the designer is of the view that basic values of the brand viz. flexibility, variability and smart decisions have been severed with this concept.

Car Nissan Sunny Reviews

For the Nissan Sunny sold in European markets during this period, see N14 Pulsar
Datsun 1200 Coupé, B110 Series

The Nissan Sunny is a small car from Nissan. It was launched in 1966 as the Datsun 1000 and although production in Japan ended in 2004, it remains in production today for the African, American and Sri Lankan markets. In the US, the later models were known as the Nissan Sentra; in Mexico, the Sunny is known as the Nissan Tsuru.[1] The Sunny fitted neatly into the Nissan model line. It was larger than the supermini Nissan March (Micra) models, but not as big as the compact Bluebird models. The latest versions of the Sunny were larger than the early models, and may be considered compact cars. Earlier versions (through at least the B11 series) were subcompact cars. All Sunnys through the 1982 model year (except as noted below) used Nissan A engine motors.

The Nissan Sunny is a car which has been absolutely thrashed by the critics and has been given a complete grilling by all kinds of people. I am here to defend it. I own a Sunny and it’s a car which has amazing reliability, is very comfortable and gives a smooth ride. The Production of this car started in 1991 and ended in 1995. The car we own is a 1994 Nissan Sunny Spray 1.4 3 door. We brought it in 1996 at two years old for around seven thousand pounds. The reason for buying was due to our Nissan Micra getting a bit too small for us and the fact we needed just a bit more space.

The minute you mention 'Nissan Sunny', some know-it-all will turn around and slag it off to pieces. My advice is, don't listen to them, chances are they've never even been in one and just like regurgitating scraps of info they spent hours memorizing from Top Gear. Just because some bloke down the pub and Jeremy-need-for-speed-in-anything-shiny-​Clarkson dislike the cars is actually no indication of the actual greatness of the car.
The reason people disrespect the car is because it came out at a time where the model was 'unfashionable' and it didn't have a massive top speed, as was a 'necessity' in the early 90's. But here's me, springing to the defence of The Nissan Sunny. Forgive me for sounding sentimental, I assure you it's in good taste. My first ever car was a 15yr old Nissan Sunny 1.4. No GTi, nothing special. Naturally I was weary, it was a 15yr old Sunny (I had foolishly listened to the bloke down the pub) but believe me when I say that niggling voice was soon crushed. The Sunny quickly became my faithful companion, escorting me on many a difficult trip. What impressed me most about the Sunny was that when I first got the car, it hadn't been driven for 7months, the owners not knowing what to do with it and rarely being in the country. I put the key in, preparing to have to give it some welly to get it started, if it started at all, it started first time, with no mess. And it started every day for as long as I owned it, every day, no worries, in the snow, in the rain, never a problem.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Vision Class Specification Features

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Vision Class Specification Features

The Vision CLS is the latest in a long line of high-profile Mercedes showcars. In recent years the Stuttgart-based manufacturer has unveiled a whole host of new and exciting vehicle concepts, most of which have gone on to enter series production. Our product planning team again was on hand to gauge public opinion at the International Motor Show. The results of their survey will dictate what the future holds for this unique vehicle concept.

With four doors and a generous amount of space, the Vision CLS offers a great deal more added value than other coupés in terms of both comfort and practicality. There is a gap of 829 mm between the front and rear seats, which puts the Vision CLS firmly in saloon territory. Furthermore, the boot of the Mercedes concept car holds 470 litres - much more than any other coupé and even some saloons.

Equipped with leading-edge Mercedes innovations such as adaptive front airbags, windowbags and sidebags, not to mention belt tensioners and belt force limiters for all four seats, the coupé concept fulfils the high safety standards associated with Mercedes luxury-class cars. Further technical highlights of the Vision CLS include the Active Light System, Cornering Light and the electrohydraulic brake system Senso-tronic Brake Control.

The aim of the designers developing the Vision CLS concept was to awaken enthusiasm at first glance and make full use of the scope provided by the lines of a coupé in order to lend a very emotive emphasis to the formal language. Large overhangs at the front and rear elegantly stretch the bodywork and form a contrast with the sleek, slightly curved roof of a coupe. In the same way the side aspect with the large, calm surfaces of the doors and rear wing creates a formal contrast to the frameless side windows and low silhouette typical of a coupe.

The front-end design of the Vision CLS is new and yet somehow familiar, with headlamps forming a different and interesting Mercedes face. The louvred radiator grille and the centrally located star are however two familiar and typical features of a Mercedes-Benz.

When viewed from the side the Vision CLS shows a perfect interaction between continuous, defined lines and the soft, naturally rounded surfaces that characterise modern Mercedes design. One example is the high upper body edge at window level, which is accentuated by a prominent waistline. This extends from the front wheel arch along the entire flank, culminating in the attractively formed rear light cluster which continues the general line and gently directs it into the rear bumper.

The roof line of this four-door coupe is even more pronounced. It extends over the muscular bodyshell in a slight but nonetheless evocative curve and blends into an attractively formed C-pillar configuration, which gently dips towards the rear end and ensures a softly contoured bodyline.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reviews Launched

 

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a range of executive-size cars manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in various engine and body configurations. The E initially stood for Einspritzmotor, (German for fuel injection engine); a new feature in volume production vehicles at the time that the E-Class first appeared, with the E as a suffix to the engine nomenclature (e.g. 230E) in the 1950s. It was not until the launch of the facelifted W124 that the E was used as a prefix (i.e., E220) and the model referred to officially as the E-Class (or E-Klasse). At this time all Mercedes cars used fuel injection and the company felt it was not necessary to add this as a distinguishing feature.

In keeping with the motto “four seasons, four personalities”, all-year-round suitability was right at the top of the developers’ list of priorities. With the new E-Class Cabriolet, the cabriolet season lasts the whole year because, while many cabriolets tend to disappear from the roads of Western Europe in the autumn, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (length/breadth/height: 4698/1786/1402 mm) provides driving pleasure and comfort whether the roof is open or closed.

The powerplants for the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet are equally innovative: the new direct-injection diesel and petrol models combine efficiency with effortlessly superior power delivery. The exemplary, low fuel consumption has not only been achieved because of the new engines, but also with a number of practical measures. These include on-demand activation of the steering and fuel pumps, the use of tyres with low rolling resistance and an alternator control system which takes account of the current driving situation and the vehicle’s electrical power requirements, plus the crucial factor of outstanding aerodynamics.

Mercedes Benz SL-Class Designation

 Mercedes Benz SL-Class Designation

The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has long epitomized elegance and performance in the grand touring coupe/roadster segments. From the early 300SL models of the 1950s to the present-day retractable hardtops, this two-seater has never wavered from offering the best that Mercedes-Benz could offer.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class adds the SL550 Night Edition which features matte-finish designo magno night black paint and a black premium leather interior. The Night editions also includes 19-inch AMG 5-spoke light alloy wheels finished with a two-tone high gloss finish, silver-painted front brake calipers, darkened headlights and darkened taillights. The interior features premium black leather and contrasting bright chrome trim. A new seat design includes arrow-shaped seams and silver-colored details.

Although this generation of the Mercedes SL offered spirited performance, decent handling and plenty of luxury, the driving dynamics proved disappointing to our staff. The culprits were steering that felt somewhat loose on center, a platform that lacked this marque's typically solid feel (giving rise to interior squeaks) and brakes that, although strong in panic situations, felt mushy in normal use. At the time, we also felt the Benz SL was overpriced compared to other competing luxury roadsters, though depreciation has largely negated this potential drawback.

With a run that lasted 18 model years, the 1972-'89 SL was much simpler, both in terms of the vehicle itself and trim levels, than the ones that followed. This SL was powered by various V8 engines, starting with a 4.5-liter (around 180-200 hp), changing to a 3.8-liter of just 155 hp and then adopting a stout 5.6-liter (227 hp) for the final years. The names of these SLs went from 350SL (only for 1972) to 450SL, 380SL and then 560SL. Although you may see a 500SL advertised, be warned that it's a gray-market car, a European version modified by some unknown shop to meet U.S. emissions and crash standards. For obvious reasons, we recommend you steer clear of a gray-market example.

Ford Figo Price Reviews Style Design

The Ford Figo is available in both petrol and diesel versions, all with five speed manual transmissions and power steering as standard. The diesel version of Ford Figo is equipped with the same engine which is currently powering the Ford Ikon and Ford Fiesta.

On the other hand, petrol version of Ford Figo is equipped with the new 1.2L, petrol engine which delivers 71 PS of power at 6250 rpm with 102 Nm of maximum torque at 4000 rpm. The car accelerates from 0-100kmph under 15 seconds and has a top speed of 164 kmph. Here are the quick details of the Ford Figo engine:

•     A four cylinder 1196cc 16V DOHC Petrol engine, rated at 71 PS (52 kW; 70 bhp) @6250rpm with 102 N·m (75 ft·lbf) @4000rpm maximum torque.
•     A four cylinder 1399cc 8V SOHC Diesel engine, rated at 68 PS (50 kW; 67 bhp) @4000rpm with 160 N·m (120 ft·lbf) @2000rpm maximum torque.

The petrol version is the all new 1.2 liter, SEFI petrol engine with five speed manual transmission. The petrol variant gives a mileage of around 12.5 kmpl mileage in the city while on the highway it offers mileage around 15.5 kmpl. The engine also meets with BS-IV (Bharat Stage - IV) emission norms. Diesel variants of the Figo are powered by Ford’s 1.4 liter Duratorq diesel engine.

The front or the nose of the figo is the most attractive part of the car.Its inspired by the kinetic theme seen on new gen ford cars. The slim grille and huge anvil-like lower grille are typical Kinetic Design elements, which work brilliantly to offer a sporty and contemporary look. Details like the headlamps and the prominent wheel arches add to the dramatic-looking front end. styling is heavily inspired by the Europe ford fusion.so the Figo rapidly loses its modern looks and moves a generation back to betray its roots, which lie in the previous Mark V Fiesta (code: B256) from 2003. Though Ford has re-skinned most of the car by replacing almost all the body panels, the large glass area and low window line point look stylistically outdated. Its based on the last generation Ford Fiesta;so it shares most of the underpinnings with the car. hence build quality is really good and the doors shut with the big car-thud. Basically its the last generation fiesta without a boot.

Volvo C70 Price Car Design

The Volvo C70 is propelled by its standard turbocharged 5-cylinder, T5 engine. Output for the 2.5-liter light-pressure turbo powerplant is 227 horsepower at 5,000 rpm with torque at 236 lb.-ft. from 1,500 to 4,800 rpm. The flat torque curve puts the power to the front wheels evenly and makes the car highly responsive. A performance-oriented six-speed manual gearbox, once standard, was recently discontinued. A five-speed "Geartronic" microprocessor controlled automatic with "Auto-stick" function is now the only transmission option.

This turbo convertible is good for 19 city and 28 highway miles per gallon, while zero-to-60 takes 7.4 seconds. Inside, the C70 is designed to accommodate four adults. The two rear seats have comfortably angled backrests and generous width. With a push of a button on the backrest, the front seats move forward to facilitate entry to the rear seat.

To more easily accept cargo when the roof is in the stowed position, the Volvo C70 comes standard with Load Assist. At the touch of a trunk-mounted button, the entire roof assembly is lifted several inches, increasing the size of the opening to allow for small tote bags to be dropped into the trunk.

The naturally aspirated C70 S base model (previously known as C70 LE) drops by $12,000 from $71,950 to $59,950 (plus costs) while shedding leather upholstery and the top-level "Performance" audio system.

Like the revised C30 hatch also launched this week (which includes the ultra-efficient C30 DRIVe variant) the updated C70 features bolder front-end styling comprising a broader lower air opening, new angular headlights and LED tail-lights and a larger 'iron mark' Volvo badge first seen on the S60 mid-sized concept sedan and now common among the Swedish stable. All up, the changes contribute to a sharper, more streamlined face for the Volvo C70 convertible.

BMW Concept M5 Wallpaper

With each new model that appeared, BMW extended their luxury and performance. The most successful generation ever, the last BMW M5, pushed the boundaries with the V8 from BMW M.

The newest generation, succeeded all expectations with the first V10 engine to power a sedan. This BMW M5 has 507 horsepower, seven-speed SMG transmission and 383 lb-ft of torque by European measure.

The chassis is developed to keep up with the power but at the same time, the exterior is very subtle, yet powerful. With all these improvement, the BMW M5 has the best power-to-weight ratio.
