Fisker Karma,new supercar to low environmental impact

The Fisker Karma is a hybrid supercar to low environmental impact. The car, long 498 centimeters, wide 198 and tall 130, were born from the collaboration among the Danish designer Henrink Fisker, father of the Bmws Z8 and Aston Martin Db9 and Quantum Tecnologies, firm leader in the alternative propulsions.Aesthetically, the derision to four doors makes him notice for an involving design, made of sinuous forms of great charm.

The lines anticonvenzionalis, have the worth to separate the sportività from the Baroque elegance, modeling in the aluminum a slender and essential silhouette.The cabin to four places is crammed of all the conforts, and adorned by some displays multimediali: one to the center of the bridge and two in the anterior headrests. The air conditioner works thanks to a film fotovoltaica posts on the roof that contributes to reload the batteries.

The Fisker Karma stirs thanks to the technology Q Drive, that is composed of a small gasoline motor that moves a generating thanks to which the batteries are reloaded to the ions of litio, that feed the electric motor to back traction.The auto is able of it crosses 80 issues kilometers zero for at least ten years. According to the planners such autonomy is superior to the distance daily crossed by the 60% of the motorists.

The time of recharge with normal tide to 220V is of a night.The malcelata sportività of the Karma is also underlined by the disposition of the batteries, situated exactly to center car, so that to assure an optimal division of the weights. The Fisker Karma is able of to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 6 seconds, to electrically reach the maximum speed autolimitata to 200 km / h.The double logic of operation Stealth-sport: economic and more dessert the first one and almost impetuous the second, allows to choose the more proper character of guide for the moment.

BMW M1 Hommage, homage to Giorgetto Giugiaro

The BMW M1 Hommage is a prototype introduced to the Contest of elegance of 2008 Este Villa, thought for making free to the fascinating M1 drawn by Giorgetto Giugiaro more than thirty years ago.
The m1 Hommage is a rivisitazione in futuristic key of the lines of the original car, that distinguished him from the other coupes sporting for the volumes particularly spinning and for a really innovative form, thought for opposing the success of the Porsche of that years.
The car has been conceived as a two places to two doors with back-central motor, from the imposing and particularly spinning volume.

Watch video...

The M1 Hommage stylistically owes a lot to the original car, of which it proposes the loghis on the superior lip, the you look for some grate wheels, the windscreen particularly tilted and the thick tail.

The auto is introduced as a maquette, which seems they will make neither succession nor the study of the insides, neither the plannings mechanics and motoristica. The concept car exclusively wants èssere a synthesis of the forms and the 1978 M1 proportions, you update to the contemporary design of the mark BMW.


This concept wants to be a synthesis of the forms and 1978 M1 proportions with the actual language of the design BMW. In the first image of the gallery you can notice beside side the original M1 and the Hommage: more extreme forms, a very great width, the hump on the very more chest "present", the double kidney BMW of great dimensions decidedly.

147: The new myth that will relaunch the house auto Apha Romeo

You departs with the announcement of the arrival the whole range Alfa of the device stop-start, what extinguishes and it automatically restarts the motor in the decelerations city, then speaks of a lower part technology environmental impact developed by Fiat and, great revelation, introduces the project of an unpublished Suv made in Alpha Romeo.

Of the project, internally denominated 'CX-over', De Meo has said few, but you/he/she has preannounced the marketing of it within 2010 and the numbers of production: 40.000 unities a year. Before the new creation, 2009 will be, instead, the 8C fascinating open version year Competition: just 500 samples to a cost of around 175.500 European.gone out on the marketA realistic evaluation puts the throwing of the new Alfa Romeo 149 to beginning 2009, even if as we know the Group Fiat she is pressing on the accelerator in virtue of a growth prorompente, and this could be a conclusive factor for the revision of the calendar of the official presentations. Instead the price should depart from 28.000 European around.Other model novelty will be the alpha Romeo 149, an auto that will be powerful and sporting but refined at the same time, endowed with a lending mechanics. The traction will be integral, similar to that that equips Nissan GT-R. Classical and sought after they will be the insides. As it regards the motors, we will naturally find the whole range of the T-Jets and the Multijets adopted on the most recent models of the Group, with in anymore a version GTA from over 250 CVs.

The 149 derives, technically, from the Fiat Good, while it is not stylistically being difficult to recognize in common in this average sporting elements with the 8C with the typical design than you/he/she will be done in the House Alpha after the debut of the Myth; returning to the 149 we remember that the adopted propellers will be the Multijets and T-Jet of House Fiat

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 : leaves the sign to the inveterate ferraristis

Been born for leaving also a sign to the lovers more inveterate ferraristi, the Gallardo LP560-4, the new one "small" of the house of Sant'Agata Bolognese, it doesn't deny these expectations.

Been born of the evolution of a "atomic mean" as the Gallardo, the new motor berlinetta central (90° among the bancates) V10 of the house of the bull introduces him to the public after a care to base of testosterone: 5200 ccs, 560cv to 8000 giri,540NMs of couple to 6500rpm, a new system of direct injection of the fuel (consumptions and issues down of 18%), a different temporizzazione of the system of raising valves, heads of the cylinders revisited and weight general meeting place of 20 kg razie to a revision of the components of the motor, of the you attack anterior and back and of the differential ones. Dizzying numbers that give performances as many superb: 0-100 in 3.7 sec and over 325km/h of maximum speed. The all coadiuvato from a new sequential automatic change that, in the most extreme formality, it reduces the time of changed of 40%. But the wonder don't finish here: to complete this splendid picture thinks of us a new back diffuser that incremente the 31% aerodynamic efficiency and eventually the new brakes carboceramici (10.000 European) able decelerations from 1.2g. How is so much translated "well of God "for the fortunate pilot?According to the note American magazine Popular Mechanics, her baby-lambo it results impassioning than the version that goes to replace The sound with the unloadings it seems to be more sophisticated and endowed with great abilities in to vocalize acute; it has a less hoarse tonality to the least one that invades the cabin in more discreet way instead and that it gives baritone notes more accented with the lowered car windowsThe acceleration of the LP560-4 becomes fiercer to the tall regimes where the auto seems to work to the best (the red zone is to the 8500rpm); but he/she remains also endowed with a curve of more homogeneous and strong power to the low regimes; worth also of the direct injection.The renewed transmission And-gear it is more sophisticated and you change her in formality "Sport" and "Raced" they are violent indeed. Also to next speed to the 200 schedules, the LP560-4 results glued to the asphalt and, thanks to his/her notable stability and the integral traction, the driver pushes to always give her great confidence.

Very beautiful : publicity of the amborghini LP560-4

The weight of the auto (43%ant/57%post) makes him feel only entering the curves to excessive speed, but relieving the taking from the pedal of the gas the auto immediately finds again composure. The transfers of load between front-axle assembly and retrotreno are always transparent and intuitive. In exit of curve, playing with the gas is easy to make scodare the auto of power and, wanting, the everything can be supervisionato from the ESP that " it puts us a roll" when the cleverness of the pilot is not enough anymore.

The side estate is impressive, that's why, in you determine conditions, a precise steering gear would be desired even more and most punctual commands of the accelerator and the brake; this would already annul entirely her least tendency sottosterzante.Nevertheless the problem found by Age on the little modulabilità of the braked one, is recognized also by the American magazine: despite the plant carboceramico is able of enormous decelerations, in the first centimeters of run of the pedal it seems to be almost empty.

Over how flexible, Motive Magazine underlines as the prpulsore sends forth a really stupendous sound and as the Lp560-4 both literally able to devour the road. The car results to be in the curves, a mix between side estate and body car checked. Besides the mappatura of disbursement is so well taken care of that, need would very, rarely be had to change march: the bystander is also all right for narrow curves and already in fourth grade inexpressible speeds are reached.Seeing such an elevated peak of couple, you/he/she could be thought that the motor is a lot to uneasiness to the low regimes.

Besides the steering gear seems to artificially be too much heavy. Which is some ridicule considering that its servoassistenza is practically least. Also because the curves can quietly be made with the accelerator deciding the angling of the face with the simple pedal of right. Braking strong in curve, the auto is controllable however and kindly follows with its retrotreno. But you/he/she is suited to the limit that appears extraordinary: it seems to dance between the curves and his (limited) in the, they fade away to the shade of his/her drug road character.

BMW 730d : extreme luxury

The German derision of extralusso is inclined from 4 gasoline (3000 from 258 cv, 4000 from 306 cv, 5000 from 367 cv and 6000 from 445 cv) motors and from 2 diesel (3000 from 231 cv and 4500 from 329 cv), in the preparations Chosen, Active, Future, Sublime.

In to admire estasiati the profile and the aesthetics of the mega Bmw, he cannot be remained to open mouth in front of so much majesty, beauty and grandeur. The whole the lines that you/they denote the body car gives rush and also an I seize sporting to an auto, what in the house Bmw is synonymous of flagship from many decades.

Important the anterior one with the ample lighthouses that worthily frame the mask I double scudata, that every Bmw designates. Slender and sporting the tail with the ample lighthouses from the sporting and elegant design at the same time.
Entering on board of the Series 7, are not possible not to remain literally disorientated and some spaesati in front of a cabin, that to luxury, elegance and technology doesn't have peer in other motorcars to the world. The seats, soft they are built with refined skins and you appreciate, cosiccome is appreciated the materials used for the covering of the doors, of the sky and the inserts on the bridge (it takes root to gogò).

As it regards the technological aspect, the things are a lot of to say and to describe.He can be departed by the system IDrive that checks a lot of the applications technological of the car for then to continue to the system of electric regulation of the seats (it is situated on the side of the central arm and not as usual to the left of the seat), and concluding with the linear elegance of the bridge where all the most modern discoveries are present that auto technology can offer (from the automatic change with commands to the steering wheel to the electronic lighting through the pulsating start-stop, to continue with the anterior automatic climate and back and to end with the navigator satellitare with the color monitor).
And now the feelings of guide. The Series 7 driven you/he/she has been the 730d Future from 83900 €. The auto object of the article, is one of the more longeves flagships of the history of the modern auto-racing, and he has known how to constantly adjourn him to remain to the footstep with the times and to stay one of the uncontested queens of the segment. This updating has brought to have, in the last Series 7, an assembled technological and a search of the elegance and the luxury ever reached before.

What can he be said of her behavior on road? Simply from dream. And' a travelling living room absolutely insonorizzato and with a manageability of guide I would dare to say disarming (it has the facility of guide of a compact car although is long over 5 meters).
3000 diesel that equips the German flagship from me tried, it is very bright and it pushes without work this car, without being not at all sottopotenziato in comparison to the mastodontic mass of the vehicle (2 tons), also making to save on the costs of management.
Finally the prices: for the gasoline he has gone since 75100 € of the 730 Chosen to the 133700 € of the 760 Sublime Limousine; for the diesel ones he has gone since 70400 € of the 730d Chosen to the 110700 € of the 745d Sublime.

Bmw z4 Coupè

61° Saloon of Frankfurt Bmw introduces the study of an automobile sporting dam: Bmw Z4 Coupe.

Shiny, setata, as a sculpture emerged by a block of thick aluminum: the concept-car attracts the spectator in his/her own enchantment.
The two places he introduces powerful and agile. One of the most exciting world previews to the IAA 2005 symbolize in perfect way: the charm of the automobile.
With this study, Bmw defines some new stylistic, conceptual and technical trends. The extraordinary performance of the concept-car reflects the classical values of the House.
On I break down him/it of the dynamics that characterizes the market of the sporting automobiles premium, the decision to start the production of sporting series of the fascinating coupe to two places it results more natural, preparing himself/herself/itself to become the new one: anti Audi TT.

PERFORMANCE DI A SPORTING THOROUGHBRED
The chest lengthened motor, her "greenhouse" behind and the short kept anterior and back starts accent the classical attributes Bmw: under the chest it pulsates one six cylinders in line longitudinally climbed on that it transmits his/her own power on the back axle, so that to assure the maximum dynamics of guide. A great deal the long footstep and a behind baricentro already disclose from firm that the coupe is dominated by an almost unstoppable dynamism.
The concept-car is equipped with the new motor 3.0 liters 6 cylinders in line that disburses 265 Cv / 195 kWes a maximum couple of 315 Nm. In acceleration from from 0 to 100 km / h it will record once of solos 5,7 second, and it will conclude him over the limit of 250 km / h defined for the automobiles of serious Bmw.

IN THE DESIGN REGNA THE DYNAMICS
With his/her sporting technique absolutely and directed to the performance, the new Bmw Z4 Coupe devotes him completely to the dynamics of guide. And the refusal of compromises also reflects him in the dynamics of the design. The numerous contrasts create tension and this, in turn, dynamics in the design. The aesthetical charm of the concept-car founds him on the expressiveness of the formal language of the Bmw Z4 Roadster. The game of concave and convex surfaces that you/they meet him forming some marked lines confers to it strikes her/it an autonomous character and it already transmits the dynamism to firm automobile.
The fluid line of the roof classifies the new Z4 Coupé as a coupe classical with the behind baricentro toward the back axle. Also the flatter section slightly to the center of the roof it underlines the classical sporting interpretation of the coupe. These elements produce dynamics. The two places introduces him low, fast and elegant.

The section glass door of the cabin - the so-called one "greenhouse" - it flows in the tail accenting the back passaruotas that is introduced strong and muscular. The spoiler that emerges from the back chest assures the optimal aerodynamics; the third light of stop is integrated in the back chest, under the spoiler. The spoiler and the optic groups subsequently underline the width of the back form.
The external varnish on purpose developed for this study "Glacier Silver" he/she confers to the coupe a brightness setata analogous to that of the sculptures in thick aluminum. Of the rims in aluminum from 19 thumbs from the three-dimensional effect they create a clear / dark contrast with the body shop and they underline the concentration of power. The you look for, realized in a complicated technique of casting, I/you/they have exclusively been produced for the concept-car.

ARRIVE NEW MINI !

The New Mini introduces him with the second generation of models now. Five years after the throwing of the first generation, it to the Saloon in Paris 2006 with new motors four cylinders. It is more sporting and it consumes less.

The small athlete has picked up the maximum score in the category of affiliation introduces him in the versions Cooper S from 175 Cv, Cooper from 120 Cv and One from 95 Cv, that she will adopt a turbodiesel of new generation in 2007.
The external design of the new Bill has been developed in evolutionary way, respecting the characteristic look of the mark, while the inside design has suffered an intelligent and modern revolution. A series of new equipments they increase the comfort and the fun of guide.In all the variations you/he/she has been preserved naturally the typical go-kart-feeling typical of the Mark, thanks to the low baricentro, a wide roadway and of the concept "a wheel in every angle."The numerous innovations in the field of the motors, of the changes, of the autotelaio, of the steering gear and of the braking plant, they offer an experience of guide of completely new dimensions. Besides, with his it strikes strong and an exemplary safety equipment.
You/he/she will already be commercialized in the shows room beginning from November 2006 with prices beginning from 19.450 European.

"SMILING" SPORTING MA
The anterior form of the new Bill gives to all one kind smile, due above all to the new grate of the radiator to hexagonal form that he/she confers even more to the two doors as opened element a nice expression.In the new model you/he/she has been suppressed the central division of the superior edge of the bumper that characterized the radiator of the preceding model.Besides the grate of the radiator they are above all the great round optic groups to mark the face of the new Bill. The blinkers have been integrated in the projectors. This configuration gives to the design I express a cleaner image; the "beauty-spots" (in the of beauty) they are not four anymore but only two.
MUSCULAR ASPECT
Sight of behind, introduces him muscular, so elegantly compensating the growth of the anterior form.
The chrome sparkles in the handles of the doors, in the projectors, in the back lighthouses and in the rings of the grate of the radiator, on the sportellino of the reservoir and along the line of belt.

INTELLIGENT CABIN

The instrumentation has been reduced to the least one and dressed again in round forms and purists that together with the sober horizontal geometry of the bridge they characterize the formal language of the cabin.
The revolution counter is positioned behind the steering wheel in the direct visual field of the driver. Thanks to the slender line of the central console, you/he/she has been possible to widen the offer of space in the zone of the legs of driver and passenger.
All the tools are easy-to-use and perfectly positioned in ergonomic way. The function of the key of opening and lighting acquits her/it a round transmitter of signals; The motor is started with the pulsating Start / Stop.
ALL FOR ME!
Thanks to a rich and fascinating offer of variations of equipments and optional, it satisfies the most sophisticated applications of personalization.The auto reaches, with material perfumed as the natural wood and the skin worked to hand all the senses of its clients. With a vast range of mouldings and the Colour Line the inside furnishings is easily adaptable to the preference personal.

NEW MOTORS: POWERFUL AND ECONOMIC
The motor four cylinders I upset from 1.6 liters that it pulsates under the chest of the Miniskirt Cooper S it disburses 175 Cv (128 kWs) and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.1 seconds, while maximum speed is of 225 km / h. The middle consumption in base to the cycle UE is of 6,9 liters on 100 kilometers.
The overfeeding of the motor happens through a turbocompressore of the type "twin-scroll" with two flows separate of gas of unloading, respectively fed by two cylinders.
Thanks to his/her configuration, the turbocompressore acquits the assignment to already increase the power to low regimes. The effect is immediately perceived: the progression of the four cylinders 1.6 liters the Miniskirt Cooper S finds again only him as a rule in motor decidedly more powerful persons.
The motor inhaled by 1.6 liters the Mini Cooper disburses 88 kW/120s instead CV. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h happens in 9.1 seconds, maximum speed amounts to 203 km / h. The middle consumption of the new Mini Cooper is of modest 5,8 liters on 100 kilometers.
Already in the first semester 2007 will follow the new version of base, the Mini One, with motor four cylinders 1.4 liters from the power of 95 Cv (70 kWs). Besides, in the first semester of 2007 the range of motorizations of the new Miniskirt will be completed by the propellers with the new technology turbodiesel (developed in collaboration with the group PSA - Citroen / Peugeot).
The change, manual, is to six marches. How optional is available an automatic transmission to six relationships.

IN SAFETY
Thanks to the architecture of the it strikes, he/she offers a protection exemplary anticrash for the segment of affiliation. Despite the short starts, in case of collision of the runs of load optimized they carry with efficiency the strengths. Six airbags of seriesthey assure an ample protection of all the occupants.

A great active safety in the critical situations is made by the System antibloccaggio (ABS) available, from the electronic Dispatcher of braked (EBD) and from the Regulation of the brakes in curve Cornering Brake Control (CBC).

A PLEASURE FOR ALL THE SENSES
The meeting with the new Bill is an experience that doesn't involve only the sight and the hearing. Above all to the inside they are found again numerous elements that are turned in intense way to the tactile experience and olfattiva. "The tactile impression, the effect of the materials on us, is extremely important that is", it underlines Annette Baumeister, designer of materials and colors
The elevated quality is expressed in the appreciated materials, in the clean structures and in the delicate printed imaginations in the surfaces of synthetic material.
The surfaces and coverages are intentionally been minimized, the frames have some watermarked forms to manifest the love for the detail and the value of the material employee.
The formal language of the "Circular Elements" it also finds again him in the inside panels of the doors, where you/he/she has been completed by horizontal structures. The central element of the inside panel has an elliptic form and extends him up to the back zone. The elissi winds the light poggiabraccio, an inside pocket of the door and the round apriportes.
