Behind the hood in front, no longer contains a V8 engine with a capacity of 4.5 or 7.4 liter or 300-powered 240 PS, but a turbine-powered 350 hp engine.

Indeed, this machine is owned helicopter QH50 on the Vietnam War era. Yet this sleek Porsche still retain elements of comfort that is indicated by the existence of the device and the heated air Conditioning aka A / C. That means, the vehicle used by the owner as a daily vehicle.

The problem is, when the slow (idle) only this machine has been producing sound with a noise level of 130 dB, whereas the maximum noise limits that can be tolerated by the human ear is on the level of 85 dB. This means that this vehicle can run in environments containing a very good neighbor and patient, or on another planet.

The engine is classified as capable of energy-efficient considering scored 350 hp, which is 17 miles per gallon or the equivalent of 7.22 km / liter. But the problem, need for jet fuel
keep the engine still spinning.

Porsche Owners ‘crazy’ is sold at a price of U.S. $ 20 thousand, or about Rp180 million. Therefore, for those of you who are interested, we encourage you to spend to get a vehicle with a hot exhaust pipe until it reaches 270 degrees Celsius, with two bursts of fire ‘naturally’ occurring on the hood.

Lamborghini is preparing for its first four-door supercar. Prototype was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show in 2008 and called the Estoque. But because the crisis that hit in 2009, the project was postponed.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lamborghini Stephan Winkelman says, “Lamborghini’s third model (after Murcieliago and Gallardo began in 2009) is very suitable and a car with four doors would be a very sensible approach.”

If it is produced, then the position where the engine? As shown, this sedan is equipped four seats and positions in front of the engine with four-wheel drive system. For power, reportedly still in the election between configures V10 engine, a turbocharged V8, a V8 hybrid, or diesel.

When marketed, Estoque will be positioned as a basic-level sports car. Because, until the first half of 2010, sales are still declining globally Lamborghini 18 percent from the previous same period.

Winkelman expect, this third model will be able to boost sales. Unfortunately, until now, there is no certainty when the product will be launched to the market.

Daihatsu F-Concept is a concept vehicle aimed at the Indonesian market. This is the debut or the world premiere of the latest concept car, the Daihatsu is shown to the public. Another aspect that makes the F-body Concept soul closer to Indonesia, to design and engineering, included the role and the Indonesian people’s thoughts. “There are designers from Indonesia participated in Japan preparing for this vehicle,” said Yosuke Sakaguchi, Project Manager of Styling Div No. 1, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd..

Also described, design concepts, including dimensions, engine selection, and applications of vehicles, M-Concept is targeted as a replacement motorcycle. Same concept as outlined in the Tata Nano, but the format is different. If the Nano as a passenger car, the F-concept leads to a commercial. This can be seen from the shape.

Simply stylish
Daihatsu himself says, M-Concept is designed to answer the needs of the people of Indonesia for cheaper vehicles. Nevertheless, the appearance factor was not abandoned. Therefore, the appearance created quite stylish alias style. “Style is an important factor for the Indonesian people in determining or selecting a vehicle,” explained Daihatsu in the release, including for commercial vehicles.

F-Concept is a versatile vehicle. In addition as a means of everyday transportation, can also create a business or working up to recreation. Because of that, in a release that was distributed to reporters shown some of the alternative use of these vehicles, especially tanks behind him. Among other things, covered with canvas (soft top) and also plus Rugged box-type (normal flatbed). Maybe later be converted into a minibus, as the concept of Gran Max.

Supermini
F-Concept is very compact and can be told as a supermini. Length 2925 mm, width 1295 mm, and height of 1690 m with 1840 mm wheelbase. Tub size is not explained. While for the machines listed only 660cc, 3 cylinder inline. Using wheels and 155/70R13 tires.

Based on the specifications given, this vehicle, including agile and nimble use a small space. Section, swivel radius of 3.6 meters and a cabin can only be loaded two passengers. Vice President and Minister of Industry Boediono Moh S Hidayat could sit in it.

Cabin is also simple and very limited space (of course better than a motorcycle). To provide relief cabin space, placing Daihatsu designer gear shifting lever on the steering column and is in the middle of the dashboard (as if imposed, as a result become less artistic and instead added ribet). Daihatsu designers may try other alternatives?

Government Policy
The question arises, whether the M-Concept is soon realized to be low-cost car project Daihatsu in Indonesia? Previously, Amelia Tjandra, Marketing Director of Astra Daihatsu Motor, the plan depends on the policies made by the government.

“If the concept of eco-friendly cars or environmentally friendly, fuel economy, and small engines, a clear policy, we certainly can do it,” he asserted.
In this case, of course a variety of government support, for example, incentives in the form of various tax cuts so the price is really affordable or as expected under the community!
Moreover, this vehicle is targeted as a replacement motorcycle, other than as a family vehicle, also for business. In addition, with a concept like this, small and cheap transportation of Indonesia will be more humane!

Pride 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.

South Korean car maker CT & T did not want to miss tasting the electric car market which began to form in North America. They will invest 21 million U.S. dollars (USD 199.1 billion) to build small electric car assembly plant e-Zone in South Carolina.

Plant capacity 30 000 units per year. For the first phase, production will be at the level of 10,000 units with the help of 370 new workers.

CT & T plans to make happy torn South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, mainly related to the region used as a base for production of environmental friendly cars. Besides, the factory will certainly be improving the local economy.

“This vehicle is an excellent choice for work and play in the same area in a form that fits. The public the wrong idea of them expect the electric vehicle industry can provide the same thing with conventional cars. In fact, it is difficult to achieve on saving behavior,” said Artie Perry, Chief Operating Officer of 2AM (CT & T’s business partner), as reported auto evolution, yesterday.

This electric car will reportedly go on sale from the price of 13 000 U.S. dollars (USD 117.6 million) and targeting to the urban. Must not be the main speed in this vehicle because the maximum speed of just 68 km / h and can travel up to 107 km every time the battery is fully charged.

“When you’re working and have a fixed income, could not take the risk of having a vehicle that could be detrimental. The potential of this car market reached 38 million people today,” lid CEO of CT & T Joseph White.

If you are superrich, a quote from Kurt Strand, a boat manufacturer in Sweden, is of course very interesting. Buy a superyacht, also called the “Bond” yacht, because its shape is very futuristic and aerodiamis supercar will get one free. Therefore, the total money must be spent for a yacht that is named Strand Craft 122 is 25 million U.S. dollars, or USD 225 billion.

‘Very fit for James Bond, “Strand said Kraft, founder Kurt Strand, about this yacht. Supercar offered the same color with his yacht, which is metallic. So if both are juxtaposed, very harmonious.

Yacht designer named Strand Craft 122 is a 33-year-old young man who was born in the United States and lived in Sweden, but British citizens, namely Eduard Gray. About yachts and cars, according to Gray, was inspired by the lines and grooves Ferrari Testarossa.

38 meters long yacht with interior was designed with the concept of Art Deco and can be made in accordance with the tastes of order. There are four large rooms, including for the reception and salon, as well as fun for the crew cabin. Understandably, LED 52-inch television equipped with a sound system from Bang & Olufsen in all rooms.

Bonus supercar, assembled by hand, V12 engine, twin turbo, 880 PS and generates power. Capability up to 375 km was encouraged. Amazingly, if you want to slide into the sea, supercars do not need to be left on the beach. Can be inserted into the yacht, which provides a special garage for cars. So, anchored anywhere, can be directly used car.

This superfast Yacht 14 000 PS and able reach generates fast speeds of more than 50 knots or 100 km / hr. All were obtained by using the MTU Series 4000 diesel engines and two Rolls Royce jet.

Although as yet know when it will be produced, if there are potential buyers interested, the Strand is ready to meet. Ascertained, yachts and cars can be sent before 2013.

Trends in the use of automatic transmissions in cars increases. Operation even easier than the manual, without the clutch. Nevertheless, it does not mean man can not make mistakes. And, the behavior of one can make the lifetime becomes shorter.
Described by Ricardo matic, automatic transmission specialist, that the damage due to improper operation of the transmission of only 10 percent, 85 percent of the largest oil change just due to negligence, while 5 percent due to the age of consumption.
There are minor omissions, negligence, although not fatal, the initial damage to the transmission. Like what is negligence?
• Do not move the lever to N. As long stop in a traffic jam or a red light, sometimes the driver continues hold transmission rod in position D. This condition makes the transmission of extra work due to work as a limited supply of fresh air. If the stop of more than 60 seconds, immediately move the transmission into N so that lubricants do not increase dramatically.

• step on the gas into the D. When lining up at the beacon lights, so the sign is green, drivers often move the stick directly to D and direct the gas pedal. In fact, the transmission takes time to engage with the process fluid pressure to move toward the torque converter. If this habit is often done selenoid valve inside the transmission can be easily damaged.

• Often do engine brake. To obtain the effect of engine brake, may be used in low gear. However, the displacement was made during the 3000 rpm engine speed. Because, if on top of that, there could be hard to reduce friction and wear life of the clutch friction within trasmision.

• Move the position of D to R. Move the gear lever from D to R (to parking) needs to speed his hand. However, if done roughly, the conventional transmission could result in damage to the planetary gear and one way clutch. While outside of the transmission components that are affected like the dc coupling cross joint, engine mounting and the axle (front wheel drive).

• Prevent the transmission in first gear. Needs engine brake on the streets down steep or acceleration performance on the road climbs, would need gear first. But, this condition should be done only as necessary and unavoidable when dealing with normal road conditions (flat). Because, increasingly heavy burden clutch. Moreover, if continued into high gear on a conventional automatic transmissions still use valves. Can make performance parts per akuator behind the piston can be problematic due to excessive pressure.

Tire series was released Wrangler AT / SA that is claimed to have traction on wet roads as well as longer tread endurance 20 percent.

Goodyear Wrangler AT / SA is designed using layers of Dupont Kevlar and Silent Armor technologies that make no noise when being used on the highway.

This new formula was created specifically to meet the needs of SUV enthusiasts who want a good tire performance variations in terrain offroad and onroad.

Tests tires Goodyear also been carried out in two distinct fields. The result Wrangler AT / SA proved capable of having good traction during wet road conditions, the ability to throw mud well and optimal traction when worn across the offroad terrain.

And when worn on the highway, this hoe semi tires also do not generate annoying noise caused by DuPont Kevlar materials that specification has two steel belts of high pressure.

It serves as a barrier layer of sound that makes the trip seem more quiet. Moreover, tread pattern and the addition of the center line of tread also helps reduce noise during the trip.
