The vertically-mounted 24kW/h lithium-ion battery is located behind the benchseat and provides the car with a range of 160km. <br />
<br />
Battery cooling is ensured not only by the air channelled from the front to the back of the car, but also – and above all – by the flow of air that enters through the lateral scoops concealed behind the aluminium panels on either side of the body. <br />
<br />
The basic motor is the same as the unit used for Renault's production electric cars, although an evolution has enabled its power and torque to be uprated to 110kW (150ch) and 226Nm respectively. <br />
<br />
Three battery-charging methods can be employed: <br />
- a standard charge using a conventional household plug (fully charges the battery in eight hours). <br />
- a fast charge using a 400V three-phase current (charges the battery to 80 per cent of its capacity in 20 minutes). <br />
- a fast battery exchange thanks to Renault's Quick Drop technology. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><br />

A usual presence at auto shows around the world, the future BMW hybrid sportcar, i8, makes another appearance at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The first iteration of the i8 premiered back in 2009 at the Frankfurt Auto Show and it was initially marketed under the Vision EfficientDynamics name.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the recent , a BMW representative confirmed the Spyder does not even have a functioning soft-top, or any form of weather protection.Yet considering the incredible technology lurking within the i8, BMW’s engineering team will hardly be stumped if called upon to develop a working top.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbT-j7onaYOn3WNI8hTFU1WGLlsRrZWADRtRWHy-62xdxm2lGbdrvufFRv4zAtsRfq9fQKe9spFVLBg9hf29IX-YFG0aI2SahnLaFxSmGrXt27KaJADzI2T1Pm27tsx02bMgiLNgiSgrUl/s1600/DSC01253.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbT-j7onaYOn3WNI8hTFU1WGLlsRrZWADRtRWHy-62xdxm2lGbdrvufFRv4zAtsRfq9fQKe9spFVLBg9hf29IX-YFG0aI2SahnLaFxSmGrXt27KaJADzI2T1Pm27tsx02bMgiLNgiSgrUl/s400/DSC01253.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The BMW i8 Spyder's plug-in hybrid technology like the i8 coupe, this car has a plug-in hybrid powertrain to produce supercar performance for claimed supermini emissions.A 129bhp electric motor drives the front wheels, while a three-cylinder turbo petrol engine sends 220bhp to the back axle. Total system output is 349bhp and 406lb ft of torque. Which explains why BMW is quoting 0-62mph in 5.0sec and a limited 155mph top speed.Yet the two-seater i8 Spyder is claimed to manage 94mpg on the European test cycle (although today's announcement doesn't say whether that's the combined total figure or an economy on the easier extra-urban cycle). The plug-in hybrid will reportedly weigh in at 3,197 lbs with a 2+2 seating configuration and pop-up door design. Powering the i8 will be a 170-hp electric motor driving the front wheels, while a turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder powers the rear wheels with 223-hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.<br />

Its retractable aluminum hard-top flips over to stow neatly upside-down beneath the rear deck lid, allowing occupants to better hear the incredible scream of the 458's high-revving V8 engine.</span></div>Ferrari says that structural modifications mean that the Spider features the same level of rigidity with the top up or down. Meanwhile, an adjustable electric windstop keeps unwanted air out of the cockpit. Ferrari says that normal conversations can be had at up to 124 mph.<br />

Ferrari says that certain suspension components have been modified to better suit a topless Ferrari and that the exhaust system has been reconfigured to provide maximum aural qualities.<br />
The V8 cranks out 562 horsepower at a staggering 9,000 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm, which combines with its 3,153 lbs curb weight to help the 458 Spider scoot to 62 mph in just under 3.4 seconds.<br />

But don't expect the new SLS AMG to simply parrot the past; this curvaceous creation is the first vehicle designed and developed entirely by AMG (Mercedes-Benz's performance arm). As you might imagine, the SLS is just as high-tech as AMG's brawny, handbuilt powerplants.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuy-sCyG3AHc5gJIPW1xDNKlj-bDPoBxs2ObJr1sr6tEoTO1Zgh-6zwjQXXjR3rI3OCcLdub2XHgQuTImhboChyphenhyphen7UthQd5dO0mdLk5567vRqOF8hAlq3LYHIDQgRde47JZ0Y4aPrUfRp2m/s1600/DSC01236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuy-sCyG3AHc5gJIPW1xDNKlj-bDPoBxs2ObJr1sr6tEoTO1Zgh-6zwjQXXjR3rI3OCcLdub2XHgQuTImhboChyphenhyphen7UthQd5dO0mdLk5567vRqOF8hAlq3LYHIDQgRde47JZ0Y4aPrUfRp2m/s320/DSC01236.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

A naturally-aspirated 563-hp 6.2 liter V8 sends power to the rear wheels through an all-new rear-mounted AMG SPEEDSHIFT seven-speed automatic transaxle. Standard features include a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch front/20-inch rear wheels, Bi-Xenon high-intensity headlights, sport seats with leather trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and aluminum interior trim. Standard safety features include electronic stability control with traction control, eight airbags - including knee airbags for driver and passenger, ignition disable, panic and security alarms. Options include carbon fiber interior trim, AMG carbon ceramic brakes, AMG performance suspension and AMG carbon fiber exterior mirrors.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqytddutApNdZYHrTID_9au82CEqdUsCxr5BqkLGgYCNFsE0r9EskdhE2EmavLJiqz07O6BoBp623i5WUf0HO7szsMy9PPE-xZvEFQXc9Gp6mN3fZkaoopZcKIyVKgo0OaOxpb7Ad8RCVm/s1600/DSC01237.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqytddutApNdZYHrTID_9au82CEqdUsCxr5BqkLGgYCNFsE0r9EskdhE2EmavLJiqz07O6BoBp623i5WUf0HO7szsMy9PPE-xZvEFQXc9Gp6mN3fZkaoopZcKIyVKgo0OaOxpb7Ad8RCVm/s320/DSC01237.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It is a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 weighing only 439 lbs. The engine produced 592hp @7,000rpm and 443 lb-ft. of torque between 3,000 and 7,000rpm for the 2011 and 2012 model years. With the use of the company’s carbon-fiber structure and other lightweight components, such as an optional exhaust made from Inconel, the car achieves a stellar power-to-weight ratio of 455bhp/tonne. It’s a simple racing that low weight and high power are key ingredients to speed. The 12C will reach 60mph in 3.3 seconds and an even faster 3.1 seconds with the optional high-performance tire option. As this car will undoubtedly be compared to the McLaren F1 of the past, the new team made sure the top speed of the 12C would be formidable topping out at 205mph.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ZPh8iIO-T9Wpt2hh5OiKxJvysIlAgsZHK-n8i9qizAxY7G9KMOOBmI6-2L2drxG1M1fou00Dm6SmE_5VFADvA7d2zcHiHxEoaXXdK4L3sdl7uI5FHVKR9IysSjvhRnA0_UHfLWGSYukY/s1600/DSC01228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ZPh8iIO-T9Wpt2hh5OiKxJvysIlAgsZHK-n8i9qizAxY7G9KMOOBmI6-2L2drxG1M1fou00Dm6SmE_5VFADvA7d2zcHiHxEoaXXdK4L3sdl7uI5FHVKR9IysSjvhRnA0_UHfLWGSYukY/s320/DSC01228.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8eZwlqHFegwq5HXR4k-BpmZj6rWbIUmHf8chGMkg1h_RDD7sKR5MuEL3GOAA3STobsLYK4bhvHfPZTSz_UcyXbIv4KYLUL3Q09sImcw-CqsVD9WFDIS3eidcNUYv4zmVxYeSHCOF7OTdc/s1600/DSC01220.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

<br />
McLaren is a carbon pioneer. In 1981 McLaren gave a debut to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis in Formula 1 with the launch of the MP4/1 race car, and in 1992 the legendary McLaren F1 introduced the advanced composite technology to the world of road cars. It was natural then for McLaren Automotive engineers to apply its carbon expertise when developing the groundbreaking one-piece moulded chassis of the 12C. With the 12C designed originally as a convertible, its 75kg 'MonoCell' requires no additional strengthening for it to feature in the 12C Spider. The result is a sports car almost identical to its fixed roof equivalent in performance terms, and weighing only 40kg more with the addition of a convertible roof system.<br />
<br />
The Retractable Hard Top of the 12C Spider is operated using a switch in the lower section of the centre console inside the cabin, taking less than 17 seconds to raise or lower. Unlike many other convertible models,the roof can be operated whilst the 12C Spider is moving at speeds of up to 30 kph (19mph).</div><h2><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br />

It's not the wild paint or the razor-sharp styling. It's not the 690-horsepower V12 lurking behind your shoulder or the Lamborghini lore of punishing overzealous drivers. It's not even the sky-high price. No, it's the indisputably alien nature of the Aventador.<br />
The new engine was designed, developed, and will be hand assembled entirely at Lamborghini's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese. An all-new 6.5-liter V-12 engine produces 700 hp (that's 60 hp more than the outgoing Murciélago) at a crankshaft whirling 8,250 rpm. Maximum torque is 509 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm.<span class="linkarticlefuture"> </span><b> </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This is due to Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, (CFRP), as used in Formula 1 racecars. The entire monocoque of the car—basically the central part of the car, including the roof—is made of carbon fiber and weighs only 324 pounds, yet provides the safety roll cage protection of a race car.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Its chassis is built primarily of carbon fiber; horizontally mounted and pushrod-actuated Ohlins shocks sit at all four corners; its start button is covered by a red plastic flap you flip with your thumb to access as one might do to fire an intercontinental ballistic missile; and its wing and air inlets deploy like flaps on a plane. (A dash indicator relays the wing's position should you be too busy to check the rear view, or, in Italian fashion, simply not care.)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This ranking is based on our analysis of 14 published reviews and test drives of the Dodge Charger, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.With plenty of power and interior space, the 2012 Dodge Charger is an athletic alternative to competing affordable large cars.<br />
Dodge offers up the Charger with the aforementioned Pentastar V-6 in SE and SXT trim levels, and the engine is good for a respectable 292 horsepower. Those with a healthier appetite can order up the Charger R/T, which comes with a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 rated at 370 horsepower and capable of producing sub-seven-second runs from 0-60 mph. If you still want more, there’s the very-impressive Charger SRT8, which comes with a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 rated at 470 horsepower. The SRT8 will sprint from 0-60 in less than five seconds, delivering a satisfyingly deep exhaust note in the process.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The new Hemi’s intake features active air flaps that vary the ram length based on engine speed, and new variable cam timing increases the duration of the intake-valve opening with the goal of stuffing more air in the cylinder.

</div><strong>Suspension and Handling Improvements</strong><br />
Performance handling requires maximum grip, and the all-new Dodge Charger now holds .90 g. Aiding in the fastback four-door car's improved road-holding capabilities is more aggressive front- and rear-camber geometry. <br />
Set at -1.0 degrees in the front and -1.75 degrees in the rear, Dodge Charger is set up for high-speed cornering with its tires leaning inboard at the top relative to the body.<br />
All-new premium hydrobushings combined with new monotube shock absorbers, spring rates and redesigned front and rear multi-link suspension geometries improve performance handling dynamics, smooth braking characteristics and deliver a more comfortable ride.<br />
Among other suspension .5-inch (13 mm) tighter tire-to-fender fitment, a .15-inch (4 mm) lowered overall ride height and larger 19-inch wheels with P235/55R19 all-season performance tires. <br />
Beyond its lower center of gravity, the Dodge Charger R/T AWD also gains improved handling due to new upper- and lower-control arms and shock-absorber bushings. In addition new half shafts feature high-precision bearing units that are sealed for added quality and durability.<br />
Transmitting the Dodge Charger's maximum grip to the driver is an all-new electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system that features 25 percent quicker steering, more precise road feel and improved on-center tracking while reducing steering noise and fuel consumption. <br />

The F12berlinetta was designed by the Ferrari Styling Center in cooperation with Pininfarina and is the most powerful high-performance Ferrari road car ever launched. It is said to be "a perfect balance of uncompromising aerodynamics with harmonious proportions interpreting the typical elements of Ferrari’s front-engined V12 cars in an original and innovative way.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Powerful, beyond imagination. “I’m feisty and I know it!” says the Berlinetta as it grins back at us from yonder side of the screen waiting to scream out loud with all its 12-cylinders. Ferrari says the ride will clock 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds, and will touch a top a top speed of 340 km/h. The last V12 Ferrari came out with was 70kg heavier and clocked 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. This emphasises on the fact that Ferrari is successfully made use of light-weight structural materials and drastically improved aerodynamics that help catapult the 6262 cc V-12 trick horse into mind-warping motion. The all-new space-frame chassis and bodyshell uses 12 different kinds of metal in the alloy, some of which have been used for the first time on a road car, resulting in a 20 percent increase in structural rigidity while reducing its weight to just 1525 kg. CO2 emissions of just 350 g/km, makes the F12 best in its class owing to an efficient engine, aerodynamics and tyres.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Porsche has finally officially unveiled its 2012 911 Carrera Cabriolet, and the model will boast the same sleek profile with its soft top in place as its hardtop twin for the first time in the vehicle's history thanks to a unique roof mechanism. The vehicle blends the aluminum and steel chassis of the standard 911 with a folding top manufactured from a slew of lightweight materials, including canvas magnesium and advanced high-strength steel to keep weight as low as possible. Porsche isn't saying exactly how many pounds engineers managed to shave from this vehicle compared to the previous generation, but the company assures us that the latest iteration is "significantly lighter." Sounds good.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aside from the retractable fabric top, the cabriolet differs little from the 911 coupe. When raised, the softtop even mimics the hardtop’s roofline better than past 911 cabrios. To cut down on wind noise and help the cloth top maintain its shape, Porsche fitted a hard composite panel between the layers of cloth above the front seats. The new softtop may be somewhat sleeker, but the outgoing car’s bustle butt remains—there’s only so much room behind the passengers for the 911’s engine <i>and</i> a lowered roof.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

How? By understanding that great agility and maximum comfort are not mutually exclusive but are, in fact, aspects of a harmonious overall concept.<br />
This is especially true of the interior of the new 911. Sportiness, functionality and high-quality materials combine to form a cohesive whole that is conducive to dynamic driving, even during everyday use.<br />
What this means becomes clear the moment you get in. The extended wheelbase now offers 25 mm more leg room in the front than in previous 911 models. Sportiness in harmony with comfort is the theme which is reflected in the clever ergonomics that characterise the entire interior design. The materials used, the layout of the controls and their operating logic belong to a new generation of sportscar. Another new design for the new 911 is the elevated centre console. Its intelligent operating concept follows a clear principle of direct simplicity.<br />
A classic 911 feature is the arrangement of the five circular instruments with the rev counter in the middle. A new addition is the instrument cluster featuring a high-resolution 4.6-inch full VGA TFT colour display for viewing on-board computer, audio system or navigation information.<br />
Fitted as standard, the Sports seats combine even greater comfort with racing-style support and now feature 4-way electric adjustment. The new automatic climate control with zonal temperature controls for driver and front passenger also comes as standard. Also new is the optional light design package for the footwells, storage compartments, rear compartment and overhead console. As ever, we offer an extensive selection of interior colours and materials, such as carbon, leather, wood or aluminium.<br />
Acoustics are an integral part of the concept, particularly the engine sound. Available as an option is the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System. Optimised for the new 911 Carrera model range, it features 12 loudspeakers and a total output of 821 watts for a perfect spatial sound.<br />
The new 911 proves that apparent opposites, such as style and engineering or comfort and performance, can go hand in hand. For us, there is no contradiction and certainly no need for compromise. After all, a strong personality does not deny the existence of opposites, it unites them.<br />
<br />

Each of the two new Cabriolets has the same engine as its Carrera Coupé equivalent. The rear of the 911 Carrera Cabrio houses a 3.4-litre flat engine generating 350 hp (257 kW) of power driving the rear wheels through a seven-gear manual transmission. The open-top Carrera S comes with a 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine developing 400 hp (294 kW) and also a seven-gear manual transmission featured as standard. That means that the open-top 911s as well are distancing themselves even further from the competition in terms of efficiency; both models consume less than ten litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (NEDC). The Cabriolets as well have the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an optional extra, delivering even lower fuel consumption and shorter acceleration times.<br />
<br />
With the longer wheelbase compared with the predecessor model, the wider front track and the new electro-mechanical power steering, the new Cabriolets offer even sportier driving characteristics, greater precision and agility. Depending on model, there are other standard or optional active control systems available as well that further enhance the driving dynamics.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The rather austere cabin of the 2012 Nissan GT-R is meant to convey an impression of performance and technology. The front seats have prominent bolsters and faux-suede upholstery inserts to keep occupants firmly located during high-G maneuvers, yet they remain comfortable during long-distance drives. The interior itself is well-constructed, with plenty of soft-touch materials, and most controls have a solid, positive feel. Opting for the Black Edition spices up the interior's appearance significantly.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The navigation screen can be used to display a variety of parameters, such as G-force during cornering, steering input, gear position and lap times. If this all sounds a bit video gamelike, there's a good reason. This interface has been designed by Polyphony Digital, the developers of the popular <i>Gran Turismo</i> series of driving simulation games.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Entering and exiting the GT-R takes no more gymnastic aptitude than that required by more conventional cars -- a rarity among high-performance exotics. The rear seats are much smaller and difficult to access, but they are adequate for child-sized passengers. Trunk space is commendable for this type of car, providing a deep well that can accommodate up to 8.8 cubic feet of cargo.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The rims measure 20 inches in rear diameter and 19 inches up front.

The matching Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires measure P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear. While Michelin's PS2 tires are offered on many vehicles, these were engineered specifically for the ZR1, GM says.<br />
The car's braking system features Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors measuring 15.5 inches up front and 15 inches at the rear- the same units used on the Bugatti Veyron supercar. GM says the rotors are so durable they should not requiring replacement for the life of the vehicle.<br />
Squeezing the discs are six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers, painted in ZR1-exclusive blue.<br />

<br />
Introduced in 1967 as a response to the stunning success of the Ford Mustang, the Camaro has had its ups and downs in more than 40 years on the car scene. Paired until recently with a companion Pontiac Firebird, the Camaro has been offered in five different generations as a two-door sports coupe, with V-6 or V-8 power and rear-wheel drive. Special editions have included the Camaro RS, Camaro SS and Camaro IROC-Z, and convertible and T-top body styles. Until 2002, GM had built the Camaro in each model year for 35 consecutive years, but GM decided to kill the musclecar in 2002, ending production of the composite-bodied Camaro in Canada.<br />

Base editions for 2012 get a 323-hp 3.6-liter V-6 used in other GM cars, coupled to six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes. The Camaro SS borrows the 'Vette's V-8 and scales it down to two versions, a 400-hp 6.2-liter V-8 with a six-speed automatic, and a 426-hp version of the engine teamed to a six-speed manual. Convertible versions are available for both the SS and the V-6 models. New for 2012 is the ZL1, a 580-horsepower supercharged beast that rides on magnetic dampers and bears an even fiercer look than the SS. The 2012 Camaro ZL1 isn't yet on sale, but it is expected to arrive early in 2012.<br />
