ferrarimythos 300x225 When Ferrari and Lamborghini fusedVery impossible to unite the two enemies to walk side by side, like Ferrari and Lamborghini. But in a world that is a matter of simple modifications such as home modifications made by Japan Auto Veloce who mated with a Lamborghini Ferrari.

Indeed this is the Ferrari F430 that modifications oriented style Gallardo Superleggera and Murcielago Lamborghini Super Veloce (SV). The result is a Super Veloce Racing F430 (F430 SVR) that is able to combine style ’roundish’ firm line on Ferrari with Lambo-style in harmony.

Section front air dam, rear wing and front side air holes clearly derived from the Lamborghini style. Even the twin holes in the front bumper is more worthy referred to as a merger between the two Lamborghini: Gallardo and the Reventon.

Air intake holes on the front side of the rear wheels increasingly emphasized how smart the Japanese tuner is insert a line design with the design of the Ferrari F430 no impression forced … Salute.

Chevrolet Volt Dilego

2011 Chevrolet Volt Production Show CarPride of GM products which go on sale to the public at the end of this year, the Chevrolet Vol, released at a price $ 41,000 (U.S.). Prices are quite expensive for the American public. For that also, in order to boost the production Volt, GM will also rent it out, $ 350 per month or Rp3, 1 million. Similarly announced Joel Ewanick, Vice President GM to the United States last Tuesday.
As a new-tech cars, American consumers try to compare the Volt with Nissan Leaf, a Japanese product that only relies on pure electric energy. Nissan itself – to boost the population and of course production – will also do the same strategy, Leaf renting cars to consumers who want to try it first. For this, Nissan offers a price of $ 349 per month rent.
Meanwhile, U.S. media reported, the GM will apply strategies to lower the down payment $ 2,500. Estimated retail price of this car down to $ 33,500 by using a federal tax credit of $ 7,500.
8 Years Warranty
Regarding the announcement of the selling price and rental Volt, an automotive analyst was quoted saying DetNews.com, retail prices must satisfy the consumer who is less comfortable buying a new car with an expensive price and use lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, to prove the greatness or the endurance of the battery and propulsion systems, manufacturers provide warranty of eight years or 160,000 km.
Volt price is U.S. $ 8,000 more expensive than the Nissan Leaf. Heavy work to be done to market GM cars, which should provide an explanation differences in the two types of cars to the U.S. consumer.
Leaf is a car that only rely on batteries and can only be used for a distance of 160 km for all the contents of the battery. While the Volt is only 64 km when using electric power, but can be extended up to 480 km with a gasoline engine.
“Strategies Volt, claiming his car better than a pure electric,” said Joel Ewanick. “People will be looking for a real car and do not want to go home late because must charge the car in the workplace,” he continued.
Volt gasoline engine began life after the stored energy of lithium-ion battery is reduced to 70 percent. Volt is actually a series hybrid car. To drive, the wheel is driven by electric motors only. While the gasoline engine is used as a generator or to charge the battery in order not to come up short.
Volt goes on sale later this year in Michigan, California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas and Washington DC before it is marketed nationally 12-18 months later.
Consumers in other states can be ordered from a dealer in one market that was launched, with the requirement to take his own unit. Facility rental is also only available in places or dealers who gets priority first launch. GM Volt plan to make 10 000 in 2011 and will be increased to 30.00 units.

toyota Toyota Drags 92 Thousand Lexus and Crown in Japan Toyota pulled back 91 903 Crown and Lexus luxury vehicles in Japan on Monday (5 / 7). This time the problem is damage to the valve springs and the most important components of the machine caused the declining quality of new cars. “We are sorry to inconvenience our customers. We hope to fix the problem as quickly as possible,” said spokesman Paul Nolasco, Toyota Motor Company.

Toyota vehicles are drawn Lexus cars produced between July 2005 until August 2008, like the Lexus GS350, GS450h, GS460, IS350, LS460, LS600h, LS600hL, and Crown models. Analysts said the withdrawal was worsen consumer confidence, after Toyota President Akio Toyoda, vowed to shareholders to improve the quality checks on vehicles. “So it’s hard for consumers to believe in Toyota, seen through the eyes of consumers as promised,” Shotaro Noguchi, automotive analysts from Nomura Securities Co..

Quality problem facing the world’s largest car manufacturer, affect the image of Toyota which is trying to get out of a massive global recall. Since last October, Toyota has attracted more than 8.5 million vehicles due to various problems, including problems on the accelerator, brake, and a damaged car rug.

Therefore, car manufacturers based in Japan was fined 16.4 million dollars, or approximately USD 147.6 billion in the United States, because it is slow to face the problem of withdrawal their vehicles. In addition, Toyota also faces more than 200 lawsuits in the U.S., is associated with the accident because of a damaged car, Toyota’s vehicle sales price fell, and the decline in share value.

peugeot 908 rc 300x200 Peugeot Citroen Use Ultra Capacitor for Stop Start Stop-start system is more widely used by car manufacturers on their latest products lately. In fact, two-wheeled vehicles also began to follow-up. For example, Honda PCX. Only, with a different name (idling-stop).

Nevertheless, the diesel engine, the system is not very much utilized. Parties, to restart (turn back) machine, it takes more power than gasoline. This could cause the battery is overdrawn. Or, if you want to use large-capacity battery, will add weight.

“E-booster”
Car manufacturers which states have succeeded in using the stop-start on diesel engines is the PSA Peugeot Citroën of France. They use ultra capacitor to store electrical energy, which helps the battery start the engine while shorthanded. Therefore, by the PSA system called e-booster.

In addition to its main task as a stop-start system is activated, when a car slid on a jammed city streets or a lot of red lights, e-booster can also help turn on the engine when cold (early morning).

In stop-start system-PSA diesel engine called the e-HDi-motor is used which also functions as a starter alternator (integrated starter and alternator). Valeo starter-alternator that generates artificial 2.2 kW. Equipped with electronic power system (inverter).

Explained, the PSA will use the i-phase feature in the first-in 1.4-liter diesel engine and 1.6 liters. Machines are also improved, among other turbocharger lubrication system, increasing the pressure injection pump, crankshaft bearings, flywheel and strengthened with two weights.

There’s also the alternator voltage control that produces regenerative charging to the battery when the driver lifted his foot from the accelerator pedal (deceleration). PSA Ultrakapasitor used this capability Farad/5V 600 works, which derive energy from the car electrical system.

Actually, the e-booster also functions as a support of the electrical system. By using this system, for the 2.0-liter diesel engine, no need to use a 100 Ah battery and of course will reduce the weight of the vehicle. In fact, can also be used to drive the power steering when the engine died.
