Roewe 550 style in China

Next month will be presented in Beijing on Roewe 550, the new saloon Saic Rowe (the continuation of the non-existent in China Rover brand English). The images that you see on these lines reflected the sedan completely uncovered in the street, something that we are not accustomed anything in a car that has not yet been submitted. Or rather because this is done in the country of the Great Wall.

Dejándome carried away by the view of the first hearing, I agree with kids Autoblog.com that its general line is the most accomplished of this saloon, but the front with the grille so stretched and shape of the optics, is very Breaker compared with traditional European taste. Leaving aside this part and the organization of the back, do not you remember the Passat?
Moreover, the 550 Roewe continues mechanics typical of Roewe with its 1.8-liter gasoline engine and 150 HP, which could move up to nearly 200 km / h. It seems that not currently equip the 2.5 litre 180 Cv yes mounted one of his brothers, Roewe 750.
Clearly, designs and configurations are mechanics themselves to the Chinese market, because today we in Europe asustaríamos of saloons that relationship with engine / power (and with such a design, as well).

Despite the preparations that are typical of the Mercedes C Class recurrently incorporate some elements that donate the saloon quite aggressively, generally by giving not rigid one angle of the sedan model competition. As if it were the units that are determinate for the famous DTM, the Japanese imbue Wald shows this preparation as sport, which has not basically been completely unhesitating.

On an intermediate version, instead of using the C 63 AMG as we might envisage, cover with a silver gray proclaimed in the German firm a cipher of new elements close as fins and gills of the cap, bumper close to the ground or the tires Alloy five radios.

The Vantage GT2, the version of careers that will compete in the GT2 class, has been formally presented by Aston Martin a few days before his debut ( Le Mans Series to be incumbent on April 5 in the spot of Barcelona ). This preference completes the suggestion to the mark in English and offers GT1 categories ( with the DBR9 ), GT3 ( with the DBRS9 Vantage ) and GT4 ( N24 ).

The main characteristic of the Vantage GT2 lies in its propeller, which had been prepared to assignment with conventional gasoline or bioethanol, specifically with E85 possibility, and that is the completion of experiments conducted earlier in the DBRS9. The rest is an peerless work of serendipitous aerodynamic performance practiced therein, offering thanks to their bumper studied wing or surpassing performance for the race.

In this 2008 and after three years since the last version, receives a small cleaning skin that extends to the heart, showing a design changed, and above all engines with less consumption and more power

The most important changes to occur in visually accessories bodywork, the new front deeply stressing that integrates itself a new grille and bumper greater athleticism. It can be seen as it moves through the body for a new covered mirrors, the sides and door handles particularly in the same color as the body. In the rear, the change is less profound including a different bumper with a higher integration, which can be plastic or a chrome, and with different covers for the lights.



Mechanically, though not increasing the range of six engines available, it increases the efficiency of the same. For the entire diesel, there are two direct injection engines developing 109 HP (B180 CDI), and HP 140 (B200 CDI) with a maximum torque at 300 Nm and combined ranging between 5.2 and 5.6 l/100 km. With respect to gasoline, there are four different options with powers of 95 Cv (B150), HP 116 (B170), HP 136 (B200), and HP 193 (B120 Turbo). Consumption in this case varies between 6.6 and 8.1 l/100 km.

There will be two different versions of the thrusters gasoline. On the one hand the B150 and B170 BlueEFFICIENCY equipped with thrusters above next to Stop & Start ECO system that allows the engine shut down in situations of a prolonged stoppage and turn it on in a very small fraction of time, thereby greatly improving consumption.

Tiff Needell leading to limit the new Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Much has been talked about the lack of personality of the new Subaru Impreza, and it is true that big ass without Impreza, but the reality is, and we will have to get used to it. But these criticisms also accompanied in many cases by doubts about the behaviour of the new model compared to the previous one, which after numerous changes seemed unbeatable. What Tiff Needell tell him?

The first thing you notice is that it does not seem to have the power that announces (300 hp) and a slight accuses subviraje, of course, that when active sports mode changes and the thing finally see a smile on his face. With a very aggressive driving, walking the Impreza aside, show that indeed the new STi is a machine bestial.

The Impreza WRX STi incorporates an advanced transmission system with three differentials and the possibility of sharing the force between the axles conducted manually, and may vary greatly and their behavior. Tiff test it on a wet track, and as you will see, the results are spectacular.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X HKS launched by 383 HP Machine

The Japanese coach HKS makes preparations are certainly visually perhaps somewhat unbalanced, by color and some extra added to the bodywork, but since then have worked well in the already tight mechanics Lancer EVO X to get almost 28% more power.

Specifically the famous 2.0 turbo petrol from Evo grows from 300 to 383 HP, which returns to the not inconsiderable figure of 6,280 rpm, while offering maximum torque of 480 Nm (40 Nm more than the model number). This growth is the result of a series of changes that focus primarily on improved turbo, an increased intake of air and of course a re-programming of the control unit.

Precisely paragraph more "intense" is the outward appearance, where the white color of the body seems to clash with the color of gold alloy wheels, which in this case are 19 "Advan RZ Racing with 265/30R tires.

It seems that Chinese manufacturers are adapting their models to the tastes of the rest of fatal and a good example is the Geely GT. It is now in prototype stage and will be presented at the Hall in Beijing from 20 to 28 April.

Some say it looks like the Maserati Granturismo, others will find similarities with the Maybach Exelero and personally grilled featuring reminds me of the Pontiac, but what is clear is that this is a positive step in terms of design concerns. Its characteristics are unknown, and any data that we can not infer from these two images we offer you, from which we can deduce that it will be a coupé of 4 seats, nor is it known if there are marketing plans for the model.

An exclusive McLaren LM of 4 million for Lewis Hamilton

History goes back several years back, when Lewis Hamilton visited the facilities of McLaren for the first time. There a unit of exclusivísimo McLaren LM was exposed orange, and Lewis remained embelesado when seeing it. They have spent 10 years and the young person Lewis has become the pilot star of McLaren, and is for that reason that Rum Dennis has promised to him that it will be his if it gains east year the world-wide one and McLaren proclaims champion of constructors

Only there are 5 units of this model in the world, so it is understandable estimating the cost at $ 4 million. It was built in honor of the victory at LeMans (hence the name LM) of the team in 1995, and were only 5 units because they were the McLaren F1 GTR 5 who participated in that legendary career.

This version includes a very special weight loss of 75 kg (staying at 1,062 kg), a special aerodynamic package, special 18-inch tires manufactured in magnesium, changes to the gearbox and the spectacular painting Papalla Orange in honor of Bruce McLaren . But the biggest difference is the engine, because this version of the impeller mounted version of the competition, without the restrictions of LeMans delivers an output of 680 hp.

With such an impeller and a weight so low, nobody gives extrañarán their benefits. It puts at 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds and makes the 0-160-0 mph in just 8.5 seconds. Its maximum speed is limited by its heavy burden aerodynamics, but still stands at 362 km / h.

BMW makes its final point and end to V8 diesel engine

If Audi recently presented its V12 diesel engine with enough power to feed a small country, BMW has just taken a step in the opposite direction cancelling the production of their diesel V8. Those responsible for the signing argue that the turbo engines with direct injection and six-and even four-cylinder offers more than adequate performance for buyers who look for a car with a fuel efficient.

Norbert Reithofer, CEO of BMW, confessed in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport that to adapt to new European regulations and American broadcasts would focus on the V6 engines. The engine would be discontinued by this measure would be the V8 at 90 degrees and 4.5 liter engine, which currently assembles the Series 7.


The market trends, new regulations restricting European and American emissions, increases in oil prices and a market that looks more efficient cars with fuel merely endorse the decision of the German mark.

Chevrolet HHR, a people carrier with American style

The people carrier that is manufactured in Mexico and sold in Europe does not mean we have a classic "taste" American. Of course we can not say it is because of its size (4,475 meters long), which resemble an Opel Zafira and would be less than other big people carriers such as Ssangyong Rodius or the Chrysler Grand Voyager, with its straight lines does more like the classic American model. Its 1.6 meters high, however, fall within the lower segment of people carriers.


With this length and width, you might expect a safe broader HHR but in this case stays in 430 litres, a figure that exceeded many smaller saloons. As compensation, has a splitter load and the hopelessness of the back row of seats to expand capacity.

If there is a point at which highlight the HHR is to equip many elements from the basic model and are not typical in the lower ranges of this segment. Thus, we find the series sunroof or alloy wheels 17 ", as far as foreign concerns, and with air conditioning, heated leather seats with electric adjustment, with the onboard computer or control speed. In addition, the important safety equipment includes front airbags as standard of all kinds, stability control and traction control.

Despite the fact that at this point the Chevrolet HHR is in a good position, except that they can not be fitted interesting options like the browser or xenon headlamps, it is certainly in paragraph mechanic in showing their weakness. Maybe not so much because its only supply is a block but because gasoline is missing an offer perhaps a little less power and even diesel fuel. The 2.4 to 170 HP is the sole propellant, equippable gearbox with manual or automatic 5 Relations 4.

It offers some relatively good combined, specifically 8.6 and 9 l/100 km respectively. The speed is limited in both cases to 180 km / h, while acceleration times were 9.1 and 10 seconds respectively to 100 km / h.

Prices of departure:

Chevrolet HHR 2.4 170 HP manual € 28,100.
Chevrolet HHR 2.4 170 Cv automatic € 29,400.

SEAT presents/displays the results of 2007 with an historical benefit

SEAT has just published a communique in which unveils economic performance last year, and could not be better. After years of balance sheets at a loss this year SEAT finally has been able to present great benefits, which amount to 170 million euros after tax. That hardly count in 2007 with the introduction of any new model. What will happen this year when it is put up for sale the new Ibiza?

Investment in R & D in the last financial year is estimated at 504 million euros, representing an increase of over 24% compared to 2006. The company president, Erich Schmitt, was quick to congratulate the employees and executives of the company for having made possible the return to the green numbers a year earlier than expected.

According to data provided by the trade mark itself, sales increased by 0.4%, reaching 431,000 units. The markets with greater sales growth were France (+5.1%), United Kingdom (+5.8%) and especially Poland (+70.6%), while the models most defendants were the Lion and Ibiza.

The president of SEAT has confirmed the expectations of the brand launched a compact model (Ibiza) for this year and a saloon average (Toledo) for the next. It also has also unveiled its growth plans, setting a goal of selling more than 800,000 units per year for the next decade

Mercedes E63 AMG with golden colour

The transmission of force is done through the exchange S tronic able to change gear practically without interruption of power. The multi-hydraulic clutch and electronic control system quattro is faster than before. This is possible thanks to a new pressure tank, which is also used in the TTS. Depending on the circumstances, the force may deviate from the front wheels to the rear of 100% in a matter of milliseconds.


The maximum speed is 238 mph (235 km / h in the roadster), the Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.2 seconds, while the roadster only requires two tenths of a second. The TT Coupe 2.0 TFSI traction lead change with S tronic reaches 240 km / h and acelerera from 0 to 100 in 6.4 seconds. Its homologated average consumption is 7.7 litres (the reality is different), which we expect consumption homologated in the 2.0 TFSI quattro around the 8 litres per 100 km.

It will certainly be an interesting duel TT quattro 2.0 TFSI and 2.0 TDI quattro, but there is a difference of 30 hp and capacity stretching engine predict the winner emotional gasoline. These are the engines that are used in the range of SEAT Leon FR (TDI in this case is not pump and injector common-rail) and gasoline expires on all fronts except in consumption.

The TT quattro 2.0 TFSI lose a little spark and fun curve over the front-wheel drive car, but certainly pisará on corners with more aplomb and with greater security, full advantage of the traction.

Cirbin V13R, motorcycle and car at the same time

At first glance, it is quite shocking to the hearing by a strange mixture of conception motorcycle and car (albeit on a small scale). But it can be useful if we think of the typical motorcycle enthusiast who wants to enjoy the breeze in their faces every day without the discomfort of the position of the body in two wheels.


For such people the Cirbin V13R seems tailor-made. This is a motorcycle with bodywork opencast which measures 3.53 meters long and has a capacity for two seats (by comparison, a Twingo measured 3.6 metres in length). It argues on two wheels and a rear and the total weight of the "machine" is only 475 kg. Therefore, his mechanics derived from the engine of the Harley-Davidson Revolution two cylinders in V which returns about 125 HP and appear to be loose enough to move this small vehicle. To increase their ease of operation, also includes a sequential change with reverse.

The sporting aspect of the V13R is undeniable, and not just by some as the huge tires of 18 "and 17" (front and rear), but because of its short distance from the floor (11 cm) and by the design of the body , with metallic paint, mirrors and fender chrome, leather upholstery and a tiny rear trunk. The price of this "monada", which for the time being will be sold in the United States and Canada, beginning at the $ 39,995 (about € 25,982).

Kia Magentis, a slight update to this 2008

By the end of this year, the Korean Kia launched on the market a slightly new version of its four-door saloon Magentis. Mainly, the changes will be located in the visuals, both from abroad and from outside, adding a new level and a new block gasoline. Overall retain balanced price / equipping of the current model, whose price also part of the current 19,054 €.

This new impeller gasoline will be a 2.4 litre four-cylinder engine that delivered 175 HP and will be one of the options along the 2.7 V6 188 HP and 247 Nm of 2.0 to 145 HP and 189 Nm and next to the single diesel engine, of 2.0 CRDi 140 HP and 305 Nm of maximum torque. The most likely for the new propellant will be the 6-speed manual or automatic 5, which already equip the turbodiésel and V6 respectively. All these propellants in all likelihood continue delivering power to its front axle as now.

In the inner part of a new occupant will upholstery and perhaps a slight reorganization of the elements, but it is on the outside of the body which is receiving more changes. Both the bumper as lenses have a new look, even changing the fog to a form of trapezoid. As we see in the pictures, the calendar also receives a substantial change.

BMW reduces with his 520d the consumption of the Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius is to cars what the iPod music players, it is not the most environmentally friendly car of all, but everyone comes to mind when we think of cars with the environment. Although according to the figures released by BMW, his 520d could be more environmentally friendly.


The diesel BMW with regenerative braking system, promises a consumption of 4.25 l/100 km, while the Prius is left with a consumption of 3.58 l/100 km. The test to which underwent both cars to check these data was a journey from London to Geneva, to which were added 160 km of urban driving.


At the end of the experiment the BMW had attained a consumption of 4.68 l/100 km, compared with 4.81 l/100 km from Toyota. Where the Series 5 loses out is in the field of CO2 emissions, emits 136 g / km to 104 g / km of the Prius.

While the consumption data are against aerodynamic Prius, we should not change the concept of car respectful of nature that we all have of him. For even though the BMW has spent less fuel, the Toyota where it really shines is in the urban traffic representing an 17.8% of the test, rather than driving on Highway 120 km / h which accounted for 82.2% of the test. Another thing to bear in mind is that the Prius fitted with a 1.5 petrol engine and a 2.0 diesel BMW, which the German saloon has an extra particulate emissions that are not reflected in CO2 emissions but also pollutes .

Not all paintings perladas are equal, but the nacre baths for paintings of the cars usually are used to create as showy effects of color as the one that can be seen in this Striking Lamborghini.
One of the effects that can be obtained using the bath of per it for the traditional painting is the one to modify the color tone that is according to the angle of view, thanks to that the mica creates effects of interferences in the color. The general tone in violet of this Striking one becomes blue according to the angle in which one is located. The effect is quite impressive although it will remain totally out of phase when the intelligent painting of Nissan is commercialized (and that surely that will be more expensive than the perlado bath).
