Mitsubishi i-MiEV Gasoline Version Going to America

Tokyo - Japanese original car manufacturers, Mitsubishi was about to deliver a tiny electric car that belonged to them i-MiEV to the whole world.

But for the American market seems to be a privilege. Because in addition to i-MiEV to send their electricity was also considering to send the i-MiEV all versions of gasoline for American consumers.

But the unique, i-MiEV gasoline sold in their countries, Japan and parts of Europe still uses a small gasoline engines equipped with turbo-charger, but still a capacity of 660 cc.

This capacity is still too small for the American market because most of the motor even in those countries already have the capacity on that machine.

"Gasoline engine may be replaced by a three-cylinder engine 1.0-liter capacity without turbocharging for the United States," said Executive Vice President John Koenig Mitsubishi Motors North America, as quoted by Automotive News, Thursday (26/11/2009).

Later on i-MiEV will fight directly with Daimler AG's Smart built with 1.0-liter engine is also owned by Mitsubishi.

Koenig estimates that 1000 car sales plan a month might be enough to make a name trusted Mitsubishi American consumers in the small car sector.

Well, this car will enter Indonesia, where small cars such as the city car is becoming a trend.

Daimler trick popularized Electric Car

Austin - Daimler AG is the parent branded Smart cars do not seem to want to silence just saw Smart ForTwo sales slowly began to fall in the U.S..

Capital of Texas, Austin will become the first city in America to apply the program and at the same time will be a pilot for other cities in the U.S. and major cities around the world.

"Many other major metropolitan areas throughout the world who are interested," said Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche was quoted as saying by Automotive News, Friday (27/11/2009).

In the program, Austin community can select and hire between 200 units 1 provided for the ForTwo and then use it and return again to the appointed place.

Daimler itself has tested this program in the city of Ulm, Germany, in 2008 and a rental fee of 19 cents per minute or U.S. $ 73.40 per day.

With the program, Daimler believes that the public interest to buy the product again ForTwo will increase. For the current sales of small electric cars that look crashes, it is visible from the sale of a dive last month to 70.4 percent from the same month in 2008.

Sales of cars have a power source of the lithium ion battery-powered 30 kW during the first ten months of the year 2009 this was indeed dropped to 36 percent compared with the same 10 months in the year 2008. For a total reached 24,622 units for a full year.

Whereas before leasing program in addition to working on this car, also had ForTwo has a breakthrough with this small car loan for free to consumers in major cities of Europe such as Berlin. Hamburg, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Pisa, and Rome as well as some cities in America for 4 years or about 60,000 km.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C Super Sports Concept Car pure McLaren, Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre, V8 Engine


2011 McLaren MP4-12C

The independent car division based at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England,the McLaren MP4-12C is revealed as the first in a range of high-performance sports cars from McLaren Automotive.The 12C, and future models within the range, will challenge the world's best sports cars, benefiting from the expertise and virtuosity of the McLaren Group.
Through a rich modern history, McLaren's automotive division has already built the world's most critically acclaimed supercar, the McLaren F1 (1993-1998) and the world's 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.
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.
2011 McLaren MP4-12C

Martin Whitmarsh : "McLaren has for years offered a potent mix of race car and road car technologies. This combination of McLaren's 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.It goes on sale through a dedicated, worldwide retailer network in early 2011.
All the parts of the McLaren MP4-12C are bespoke and unique to this car. Everything from the engine right down to the tailor-made switches and buttons is pure McLaren: nothing has come from another manufacturer's parts bin.
The 12C is powered by a bespoke McLaren 'M838T' 3.8 litre, V8 twin-turbo engine producing around 600bhp, driving through a McLaren seven speed Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox (SSG). It is targeting not only new standards for power and performance in its sector, but also class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions; supported by McLaren's experience of active aerodynamics to aid cooling, grip, handling and road holding.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C

"The 12C is all about performance," said Sheriff. "And in McLaren, we have a very broad definition of performance. We don't just look at the traditional one-dimensional parameters like top speed, we focus equally on useable measures such as in-gear acceleration times, braking performance in all conditions, and efficiency of power delivery combined with the lowest possible fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Sure, 12C is very fast, but it is also the most efficient, most driveable high-performance sports car in the world.
Thorough engineering and market research led to concept development and a clear decision in favour of a mid-engined two door high performance sports car. Intensive work was carried out in the wind tunnel and the driving simulator to ensure that the new car would inherently have superb dynamic qualities.
The McLaren MP4-12C design follows similar principles to McLaren's Formula 1 cars, and the legendary McLaren F1, where everything is for a reason and all lines, surfaces, and details are designed with a job in mind as much as styled. This ensures that the 12C communicates its engineering through its styling and will remain timeless as a piece of automotive design.
"By the time the 12C is launched in 2011 we expect the economic conditions to be much improved. We have already seen significant interest in the car and the supply of the 12C will be relatively scarce; in its first year we plan to produce just 1,000 cars which represents only 3.5 per cent of the 'core' market," explained Antony Sheriff.
2011 McLaren MP4-12C

The McLaren MP4-12C is powered by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8 litre 90° V8 engine - the 'M838T'. This marks the start of a new era in 'core' segment sports cars - smaller capacity, lighter weight, higher efficiency and more economical power units. The engine has the highest specific power output in its segment which, when allied to its low weight carbon composite chassis, delivers exemplary power- and torque-to-weight ratios.The McLaren engine revs to 8,500rpm, has quick transient throttle response and delivers its abundant torque throughout the rev range. A staggering 80 per cent of torque is available at below 2,000rpm, ensuring great driveability and no need to floor the throttle to deliver performance.
The McLaren MP4-12C has been designed around a demanding mechanical package that puts emphasis on aerodynamics, compact dimensions, performance and efficiency, practicality and comfort. Although the design of the 12C was driven by aerodynamics, it aims to remain contemporary and elegant throughout its lifetime as well as distinctive among its peers.
"The 12C design was therefore led by aerodynamics. At McLaren we have been able to use the Formula 1 techniques and the huge expertise that the company has amassed at the pinnacle of the sport," explained Stephenson.
2011 McLaren MP4-12C

Aerodynamic efficiency drove the 12C's design. High downforce helps maintain traction, cornering ability and stability while low drag aids top speed and acceleration. It has a completely flat underbody and smooth upper body surfaces to yield a highly effective drag coefficient and generate very high levels of balanced downforce at high speed.

Top speed will not increase a lot but 303km/h (190mph) isn’t too bad for a four-door sedan.Set to be officially unveiled at the Essen Motor Show, the range topping PS9 features 650 hp and 890 Nm of torque thanks to bigger turbochargers, a sport exhaust system (with a sound switch), a sport catalyst, and a revised ECU. These changes enable the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 200 mph. If 650 hp is too hot to handle, the company also offers more modest performance packages that allow the engine to produce 550 and 600 hp.SpeedART claims that the most powerful version of the car accelerates from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.5 seconds and goes on to achieve a top speed in excess of 320km/h or 200mph.


In terms of styling, the PS9 is outfitted with an aerodynamic body kit which consists of a front chin spoiler, hood vents, a rear diffuser, a roof spoiler, a modified rear bumper (with air outlets), and aggressive side skirts. Other design details include 22-inch three-piece 'LSC FORGED' wheels and the aforementioned sport exhaust system (available in polished stainless steel or matt black).Inside, the cockpit will get a SpeedART steering wheel with F1-shift paddles, real carbon-fiber trim and accents, new leather upholstery with colored stitches and a revised instrument panel.At the back, we see a new bumper, and the trapezoidal exhaust pipes. A new rear spoiler will also be mounted.

For the interior, SpeedART added a sport steering wheel with F1-shift paddles (which can be outfitted with aluminum-, wood- or carbon fiber inlays), carbon fiber trim, contrast stitching on the door panels and seats, revised instrument dials, and exclusive floor mats.

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 50 Years Edition

DETROIT - In commemoration of 50 years of success since its appearance in 1959 before, now General Motors (GM) Chevrolet Corvette Stingray presents birthday edition.
The idea to build the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept edition 50th birthday is for the design combines the past in a more futuristic.

"By providing creative team the freedom to design a concept car, instead encouraging them to see this project from different perspectives," said Vice President of GM Global Design, Ed Welburn.

Although there was no intention of GM to produce the two-door sports car, but some very interesting features if one day the car will be mass produced.

For example the use of door models scissors, ergonomic seat design, the use of the rear camera which has adopted the technology, night vision, until the engine supported listirk battery power.

In addition, indicator panels in the cabin also had to use an interactive touch screen that allows operation by the driver and passengers.

Smart Car Traffic Control

London - A car-traffic controller is smart in the UK now seems to have become obsolete, after the discovery of the Toyota IQ. This cute car also will be a replacement car lawas traffic controllers are.

Toyota's small car will be used Traffic Enforcement System (TES), which will be equipped with advanced devices such as mobile CCTV, GPS, camera, and detector vehicle number plates.

May be too many tools and systems that will be pinned on this small car, especially when combined with two officers in it, may be problematic.

However, IQ will become the car was carrying the supervisory capacity of 1.0 liter engine, with automatic transmission, which has been modified to strengthen the roof and add a compressor.

In addition, this IQ would be modified weight, by replacing some parts with aluminum material so much lighter. Because after all, this car has excess emissions of maneuvering and a low throw.

Manchester police have stated very interested to take the prototype, they will switch to IQ. TES also has shown it to Devon and Cornwall Police, who was also very impressed.
