The new Clio Renaultsport 200 and 200 Cup 2009 2010

The new Clio Renaultsport 200 and 200 Cup come with a mere 3 additional horsepower over the previous generation but Renault promises an improved performance through weight reduction, aerodynamics and a few other touches derived from their Formula One expertise. A drag doefiicient of 0.75? That's the same as a barn door, isn't it? Surely it should be in the 0.3 - 0.36 region.
I think you mean its CdA, which is the drag coefficient times the volume of the frontal area

The car stands a little wider than its predecessor, with Renault having extended the track by 48mm at the front and 50mm at the back. This has led to wider front and rear wings, with complimentary front air extractor and rear diffuser, which in concert with the other features like the front blade, makes the car look seriously muscled-up compared to the standard design.

As well as sleeking out the design, the aerodynamics also greatly improve downforce and air flow leading to a drag coefficient of 0.75, which is exceptional for a hatchback.

The new color of Alien Green has also been added to the palette of paints available for this steaming hot hatch.

Nuova Opel Astra 2009 2010: Reviews and Photos

Three previews in a single blow, in order to render the debut of the new Opel Astra still more substantial. Waiting for the presentation, to Frankfurt, the German constructor diffuses the first official images of the sedan, to the quarter generation, accompanied from the sketches to anticipate future station wagon and GTC.Like emerged during the long gestation, the Insignia style - tondeggiante and bombato - loses carisma to the front one, coming conditioned from one rather insipid template; aggressive and very it designs to you, instead, the fanali.According to how much trapelato, already from the debut the Astra (based on the platform Delta of General Motors origin) will be able to count on an unknown propeller 1,4 Turbo, offered in two varying of power: the version from 120 horses has 175Nm of brace, while the 140 horses of 200Nm. No detail, instead, on the two varying of auto body, if ché they will not to make one's debut to half 2010 .the golf not sure name x sells x contents on the contrary of concurrent others + of substance. .brava Opel already the previous version was not badly has succeeded to make a new various model seppur much always very successful one. .ed is always in constant improvement sees run and above all insigna and now new astra… 34… in order not to speak then about that one introduced a pair of weeks ago… then that I prefer that one puts into effect them. However I not task that people buy the golf because it is the golf, otherwise we would be dipped in one put of deficenti, I ask excuse for the term. People buy the golf because she knows that it is done good and the range width of motors promises very well

Shanghai 2009: New Citroen C-Quatre 2009 2010

C-Triomphe in China, C4 in some European markets. In these days they are in Spain and assicurlo, to see it to you from the alive one you believe to me is also worse than in photo (sometimes in freeway I slow down of purpose in order to see it also give behind, still I do not succeed to enable me). I must be sincere, the restyling Chinese it has giovato to them, and not little.Number four, in the scaramantica China, is considered sventura bearer. And then Citroen reruns to the francesismo C-Quatre, defying the bad fate. Very conscious of the qualities of this sedan, introduced yesterday to the hall of Shanghai. City symbol of a market vorace in demanding three volumes, by far the appreciated and demanded type of auto body more from the Chinese motorists.The French constructor therefore has decided to entrust to the local center style the restyling of the previous C-Quatre, introduced in 2006. In wait to know the technical details, it must emphasize the modifications brought to front (the template, fog fanali and lights), while only marginal participations are involved the rest of the body car.

Fiat Sedici 2009 2010 Restyling: Oficial Images

In the morning odierna, Fiat has diffused the first official images of new the Sixteen. More renewed in the substance that in the details: the body car is modernized but nient' at all stravolto. In order not to distract from the concrete innovationes: Nm of brace) and the 2,0 toes make one's debut in renewed the 1,6 range benzine from 120 horses (156 Multijet from 135 (320 Nm). The auto body, nearly for glare, is forced to be useful for these appreciate additions, granting itself marginal face lift a front one: the template in style Bravo, however, badly seems integrated in the facade dominated from the crude plastic scenografica.

New Ford Fusion Hybrid 2009 2010 : Reviews and Specification

The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in one trim only, the Sedan. I am loving this car! Have to get used to the totally silent start. Great sound (I got the moon and tune package). Love the way it handles. Really good power on hills. Now to figure out some of the details of synch and the built in navigation!!Upon introduction, the Fusion Hybrid is equipped with a standard 2.5-liter, I4, 156-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 41-mpg in the city and 36-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The car is fun to drive and one problem I do find is all the time spent looking at the dash and displays instead of the road. Lots of eye candy. The car has more than enough passing power and zip. It has the best 4 cylinder engine on the market and when you add in the extra electric HP it can more. You won't even realize it's a hybrid until you go to fill up with gas. I average 36 mpg driving a combination of city, highway and suburbs.Taller drivers might not find enough leg room for their liking and heavier one might find the seats to conforming. Anyone six foot and 230 lbs or under will love the driving experience. Also when wearing boots, my right foot will sometimes touch the break when I step on the gas. Those with normal to smaller feet won't have to worry.I like the new front, but the back could have been sportier looking. I looked at hybrid for the last year debating to buy one, after a 10 minute test drive I was sold.Ford should be putting out more advertising, this is the best car they have ever made and the other car companies are going to be scrambling to catch up. A good American alternate to the influx of foreign cars

Pros
Great mpg and quite a lot of power compared to the Toyota Camery Hybrid.
Cons
The ride can be a little rough at times, but no more than any other sedan it;'s size.

Nissan Rogue 2009 : Review and Specification

D-compact concept previews a production SUV, and shares parts--since Nissan is now in the Toyota fold--with another Frankfurt introduction, the latest RAV4. The as-yet unnamed vehicle will replace the aging Nissan Rogue, which has been on sale since 1997. Power comes from the same newly developed 1.5-liter in-line four that'sfitted to the HVS. It drives all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.
The Nissan Rogue however will come more cheaply, with the standard model priced at 122 million rupiah, the TX manual at 151 million, and the TX automatic at 161 million.
Nissan gave the Nissan Rogue a mild facelift both in the exterior and interior of the vehicle. A new chrome grille replaced the plastic black grille. The high-grade model had an addition of electric front windows, central locking, rear seat head restraints, alloy wheels, roof rails and a roof-mounted rear spoiler. Mechanically, the 1.3 litre SOHC four cylinder engine fitted to the previous model had been replaced by the new 1.3 litre DOHC four cylinder engine. Power was also increased by 3 kW (4 hp). A sport version of K3-VT engine were produced on Japan in several period.

New Chevrolet Camaro 2009 Reviews, Estimated Prices and Specification

Wow, I am currently looking for a vehicle. This sedan is the new look of Chevrolet and it is better looking than Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima or Altima which looks like the transformers or monsters and Honda Accord. The fuel consumption of this car is efficient at 32MPG, just like a compact. It's a winner by GM!
An intuitive instrument layout and countless storage compartments promise a very inviting driving environment. The Camaro boasts class-leading storage capabilities with a boot space that is large enough to fit four golf bags, while the Estate features storage space of up to 400 litres, expandable to 1,410 litres with the rear seat folded down, perfect for those leading an active lifestyle. A new in-car radio system with standard four stereo speakers delivers crystal-clear audio quality for an exciting driving experience. The Camarofeatures highly functional, visually attractive European-styled interior with an ergonomically laid out instrument panel with large easy-to-read gauges with a metallic finish. The standard deluxe cluster includes a tachometer, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and an interior lighting dimmer control.In its class, is the best (out of 3) you can get here in mexico just under the mitsubishi lancer and mazda 3. It is built very solid, it comes with full equipment from air conditioning to air bags. The engine (130 hp 2.0lt) is not the most powerful in this category but it does not disapoint neither on power or economy. It's cheaper than mazda3 and lancer, its why i bought it. Acceleraion is reasonable, and i shows great responsiveness when shifting gears down, but its maximum cargo is so low. Braking is great, and the brake pedal is high, might be somehow annoying to new drivers, bu you'll ge used to it. hand brake is sof and has almost no sound, and holds the car good.seat position is high, which might give you false impression about the road, and the suspension is so soft. he car is stable at high speeds, but the cabin noise starts to be high beginning from 110 km/h. driving while having windows opened is also annoying as air gets ino the cabin from low speeds beginning from 60 km/h.The steering wheel is responsive, sharp, and gives you adequate sensation to the road. Seats are comfy and have medium support, and the cabin is large, it can have 5 adults in great comfort.the sound system is fair, but the speakers are less than predicted, and the controls are reachable for the driver and the passenger, and are easy to use. The DOHC engine in all its sizes shows geat responsiveness, but somehow lacks torque, and the fuel consumption when the rpm are kept less than 3000rpm is very good, but higher the consumption goes on rapidly.The stability is great, and the car gives you false impression about its speed.the styling is accepted, but the car would have looked better if it was wider. Boot space is accepted and larger than many of its rivals, but the loading tip is somehow a bit high. Plastics used in the interior are of medium quality. h lights cover a wide range of the road. Front and rear bumbers can withstand small and medium hits with no malformation or breaks.

New 2009 Fortwo is a 2-door : Reviews and Specs

The 2009 fortwo is a 2-door, 2-passenger family coupe, or convertible, available in 3 trims, ranging from.the pure to the passion cabriolet. This is a very fun car to drive. We have had the smart up to 90 mph on interstae 95 and 80 on a single lane country roads. Car handles very well for its weight. The car handles exceptional in the rain, even with ponding or pooling. Back cargo area is perfect for trips to the grocery. The down side is it is hard to make left hand turns because on coming traffic always slows down to look at the bright yellow SMART

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 1.0-liter, I3, 71-horsepower engine that achieves 33-mpg in the city and 41-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.
I had purchased my car years ago, in Europe, and drove about 70K miles so far. This car is much safer, than many other (bigger) cars, as crash tests have shown. THis car is very strong built, has airbags, ABS, ESP, and so on. It looks trendy, and gets everybodies attention. The aircon is handling the hottest weather very well, as well as the heating makes a drive in the winter always a comfortable ride. The sound system is ok, and the panorama see through roof is just cool. You can see the stars at night, and even get a nice tan, by just driving at day time. This car actually offers much more place inside, than it seems from the outside. I'm 6'4 tall, and I always sit comfortable, with enough space for my legs and my head. THis car is perfect for a single person or a couple, but not for a family, since it has only two seats. It offers enough space for shoppings, or luggage. If you love to ski, there is an option (not standard, must be purchased seperatly) to fix your ski's outside on the back of the car. All the doors are operated with remote control, and in case the battery is down, just use the key to open. THis car is very well built, no wonder, since it's a product from mercedes

New Mitsubishi Prototype-S 2009 2010 Reviews and Specs

Worldscarfans.com reporting that, Mistu has plans to semi-dominate Europe and other regions where hatchbacks are king. In fact the company proposes that 70 percent of all Lancer sold in Europe will be Prototype-S-based 2009 2010 , or rather will be the Lancer Sportback. Will we see “lesser” models too such as the 114kW normally aspirated 2.0-litre for volume purposes? How about that turbo-diesel also? Induced to go forth by the same 2.0-litre turbo of the great Lancer Evo X, Prototype-S is castrated to the tune of 177kW, which is not a bad place at all to be. Consider that Opel Astra OPC and Subaru WRX play around similar power turf. You would think that after all these years manufacturers would learn from the mistakes of others! How could Mitsubishi think that it would be a profitable exercise to build an Impreza look-a-like, then smash the nose in, paint it red and call it a Protoype S. The Evo Lancer is great; this 'thing' is far from being great at all... The rear looks alfaish. Having said that, its a nice car, better than Subaru. Cant believe they picked red....thats what Audi picked for their A4 wagon!! Looks very similar. Dont understand why Mits always copy, cant they come up with original ideas? Eclipse coupe was another classic example of a copy cat .This car is not red coloured, but tonic metallic orange. I think the car looks great! Today everybody copies from eachother, how can somebody make an original when so much designs has been created. Mitsu keep doing the good work.

All of them?? "We, at NihonCar, are huge fans of the Evo 9 and Impreza RA-R, and this is why we have been very disappointed by those two new generations which seem to slip down the hill to feel more and more like a Lexus minus the real interior comfort. If we had to choose, we'd pick the Evo X because the handling and style are better. I could only recommend the fans to stick to their Evo 9 or WRX STi 2006 until Ralliart or Subaru prepares something really worth it (2008 RA-R??). Maybe the major tuners (Mine's, Top Secret, HKS...) will show them the way, but don't get us wrong, those are good family cars offering sweet sensations... just not what we expected really."

The New Falcon 2009 2010 Reviews and Specification

The new Falcon 2009 2010 looks to be pretty darn awesome...problem is that there's a lot of speculation in Oz at the moment about the Falcon's future. The ol' "it's too big/too thirsty/waning sales/save the whales" discussion perpetuated by Prius drivers. It's a real shame it isn't made in LHD for export like the Holden Commodore as this could guarantee its future. I read in a car mag a few years ago it was to do with politics within Ford global (exporting the Falcon could mean a huge cut in jobs etc. in North America/Canada). Damn shame, too, because the classic big motor/rear wheel drive combo is getting pretty rare these days...

In North America, the only Ford sedans we can buy are the: Ford Taurus (a Volvo), Ford Fusion (a Mazda), and North American Focus (a load of s***). Everything else is sold as a Mercury or Lincoln and are the same basic vehicle as the first two cars mentioned or horribly overpriced. Why not a cheap, RWD sedan, Ford? One we can get with a V8? This should've been remedied years ago... because now it simply won't happen. how original, the G6, or even the G Series? Why didnt they call it the Ford Civic or Camry - it might confuse people long enough to buy one! having said that though, it does look good, I wish Ford north America would take a few lessons from their Australian and European counterparts. Have you seen the New Ford Flex? What were they thinking? The falcon would do well in north America. They could save a bundle if they axed their entire NA engineering department and used their international designs! No way! The falcon is much bigger than the mondeo in size. The rear view of the car is quite good aswell. You can check it out at www.drive.com.au/fordfalcon2008 Ford N.America needs to learn off Australia as they can produce much better cars with a fraction of the budget. Get rid of all the useless people who do nothing. Look at what GM are doing with Holden.

The new generation of one of the best selling vehicles in Australia has been presented today. The all-new Ford Falcon, also known as FG (for Fairmont Ghia, a previous version of the car), features three versions, the basic XT, the luxury G (Ghia) and the sporty XR. Each of these versions presents a different front end, but changes go well beyond that.The G line comes to replace the Futura and Fairmont models, and there will be no V8 option for this range. In place of the Fairmont V8 Australian customers will have to choose the new G6 Turbo or to change their option to the XR8, equipped with the BOSS 290 5,4-liter V8 engine delivering 290 kW (394 cv) at 5,750 rpm and a peak torque of 520 Nm at 4,750. Anyway, the inline six-cylinder turbo engine of the G6 is also able to provide lots of fun at the wheel, generating 270 kW at 5,250 rpm and a better torque, of 533 Nm between 2,000 rpm and 4,750 rpm.Though the engines can provide more power, they are also able to present a better mileage, achieved with enhancements in all engines and the use of new transmissions. The I6 Turbo, especially, uses a cylinder cut system that has been developed to provide sportier gear changes, but most surely has helped the engine reach a 10% reduction in fuel consumption.

New Ferrari 599XX 2009 2010 : Reviews, Spyphotos and Specs

Ferrari 599XX 2009 2010 Official Photos Updated, So beautiful, i actually have a tears in my eyes. If i had a few million in the bank i would get a road legal version of this with the stock interior over a One-77. This thing is just the purest definition of beauty on 4 wheels.by far one of the hottest, most aggressive cars out there...cant wait for Edo Competition to make a road-legal package for the 599 .rich people lol! but idk i find it looks, despite it being "track ready", still a little boring to my taste. The 599XX "technical study" was introduced at the Geneva auto show this past March and is based on the 599 GTB Fiorano. What Ferrari will make of it they don't say, but salivating speculation includes the possibility of a 599 Scuderia.

This 599XX comes with 700 hp at 9,000 rpms and an aerodynamic system that greatly increases downforce to 280 kg at 200 km/h and 630 kg at 300 km/h. The Actiflow system includes fans in the rear boot to channel air from beneath the car through two grilles at the back and synthetic jets at the rear also smoothen air flow and reduce drag.

Performance is also maximized on this 599XX by means of the "High Performance Dynamic Concept," which aligns the mechanical limits of the car to electronic controls. Weight is kept down using carbon fiber components and the gearbox has been tweaked to cut shift times to 60 milliseconds.

Equipped with Aprilia’s race-winning 452cc electronic-fuel injection 77-degree V-Twin engine, the 450 MXV allows riders to choose between two unique ignition settings. The factory default setting - dubbed the “Big Bang” - delivers exceptional rideability, control and traction, due to the closed firing gap between the two cylinders. By activating the “Screamer” setting, the firing gap is changed to a standard for a 77° V-Twin, translating into maximum engine performance for seasoned experts who want to really push the competition’s buttons – and the 12,500 rpm limit. It's so... exactly what you would think a dirt bike would like from Aprilia. Sleek but overly complicated, smooth yet somehow cobby. I think it's cool that brands like BMW and Aprilia are finally ready to play in the dirt but higher MSRPs combined with goofy "innovations" are going to keep these things out of many garages. I would only buy one if I hit the lotto and as a conversation piece at that. Amazing technological exercise but I can't see hustling one around a mx course. I don't get the point of these bikes, they seem barely competitive against the 450 singles as is, their added weight, complexity and notorious unreliablity don't seem to warrant turning them into motorcross bikes imho. I could see if they were bomb proof and had a wide ratio tranny they might make killer desert racers but I'd never ride one farther from my truck than I'd like to walk

Aprilia showed a lot of interest. I actually think that a certain amount of '07 Model SXV 4.5's are available for conversion through Sands' shop, or will be soon for something like $11-12k. Maybe Aprilia will take it further and build treet legal ones if enough interest is shown. I'd sure love to be able to buy one!
The MXV’s sophisticated electronic engine management system also has a number of motocross firsts. The Dell’Orto fuel injection system with 38 mm throttle bodies is managed by a programmable electronic control unit (ECU) that allows riders to switch between hard/soft mappings at the touch of a button on the handlebars. There are some innovative features on this bike. I like the adjustable firing and adjustable power profiles. Being a V-Twin is also cool, but I'm surprised this little twin "only" revs to 12,500. That motor looks very compact!

The engine features dry sump lubrication with the oil tank integrated inside the crankcase. Separate lubrication for gearbox and engine keep oil efficient for longer, contributing to longer than traditional maintenance intervals.

A valve gear based on a single overhead cam and four titanium valves per cylinder provide the ideal balance of compactness, light weight and performance. Thanks to its advanced technology, the Aprilia off-road V-Twin engine is extremely civilized and silent running even in this motocross version. It complies easily with FIM rules for noise emissions.
