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.

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.
