GM Hy-wire

GM Hy-wire A vehicle that teeters high above customer demand—without a net.

We've driven the car of the future. It does not fly, it's not the drive itself, and it looks like the car instead of several machines such outrageous GM Motorama dream, finned wings, turbine-powered Firebirds of yore. This is serious, according to GM serious cash to invest ("hundreds of millions," they said) in a program that has produced 30-plus patent-to-date. The Hy-wire, which is displayed in the Paris auto show last fall, is the incarnation of a proof-of-concept that runs the concept of autonomy from 2002 Detroit show and thus offer a view of the future through the three portals.
First, there is the idea of ​​a high-value, long-lasting, "skateboard" chassis fully integrated walking, the various bodies can moor. Furthermore, there is a system of control drive-by-wire. And finally, there is a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain. These concepts will likely arrive one at a time on a different vehicle, but the crystal-ball people at GM have integrated them here.
Skateboard concept promises to offer low Corvettelike gravity for better handling and unlimited flexibility in packaging bodywork. A high concentration of investment mechanical chassis with the age of 20 years allowed the body to be a high-fashion item of income in the form confined by boundaries far less functional. Drive-by-wire allows the driver to sit on the right or left, feeling control can be adjusted to the driver's taste or mood, and it is an enabler for technology such as automated highways. And hydrogen-powered fuel cell, which only emits water, promised to keep the car from the debate and partly to protect the auto industry from unexpected fluctuations in the oil industry (most hydrogen is produced from natural gas in the country). That's a lot of hope packed into one 4200-pound concept car.
Snap-on body Hy-wire offers an environment, luxurious roomy for five with an open area of ​​the front seat to the back of the nose and the tail. It attaches via the installation of 10 points (plus one electrical connector) to the all-aluminum, control-arm-suspended rolling chassis that is 11 inches thick. This package of 94-kW cell fuel, which attract hydrogen from the three 5000-psi compressed-hydrogen tank to power the 80-hp electric motor driving the front wheels. The tanks hold 4.4 pounds of hydrogen (containing the energy equivalent of two gallons of gas) for a range of 80 miles. Motors in each wheel and 10,000-psi tanks, but some improvements are expected to lead to a skateboard chassis with a six-inch-thick 170-mile range.
Hydrogen Today

    Fuel cells back nearly twice the efficiency of the best diesel engines of the energy in the fuel, but the total energy input factors upstream of the tank, and the advantages of hydrogen falling to as low as 10 percent.
    The current rate of production of hydrogen could power 15 percent of the transportation segment.

    Hydrogen is currently used: the production of ammonia, 51%, gasoline desulfurization, 45%, chemical manufacturing, 3%, other 1%.
No batteries onboard amplifier, so there is no regenerative braking. This is done partly to save weight and package space and also to illustrate that the fuel cell can generate enough electricity on demand. We are not entirely convinced of this argument. Step-off life, as in electric cars (peak torque at 0 rpm), but the Hy-wire seems to have some lag, especially when accelerating as if to pass. Order to speed up, and one can hear the air compressor and control valves various hydrogen clicking the whir of the motor drive. Acceleration is 10 seconds to 40 mph relaxed.

Swedish SKF company engineered a drive-by-wire Hy-wire system which uses much of the same hardware found in the concept Bertone Filo (Upfront, November 2001), but the software is greatly improved. Grip Two plays set up like an aircraft control yoke manage steering, braking, and acceleration. To accelerate, twist grip, knuckles back like on a motorcycle, press grips for braking, and steer them through a 20-degree angle to hang a U-ey

The Ford C-Max

The Ford C-Max over a complete overhaul of reinterpretation - this model builds on the success of the original Focus C-Max ('03-'07), a five-seat large MPV.

Think of it as the Focus is put on a few pounds. It's almost as good to drive as the hatchback, with smooth handling, plenty of grip and sharp steering. This trip comfortable, with limited body roll in corners faster, but it is able to absorb the bumps and scars on the streets are uneven. Wind and road noise are also well contained.

Generous passenger space in the front, and there is room for three in the rear, middle seat even more limited. The rear seats can also be removed boot a decent swell to accommodate bulkier items.

All-round visibility is good, and there is an additional rear-facing mirror so you can keep an eye on the kids in the back. The cabin has a well laid-out and feels durable, with quality materials and sturdy construction.

2011 Chevrolet Aveo Review

2011 Chevrolet Aveo Review
2011 Chevrolet Aveo's performance, interior, reliability and safety ratings easy to beat with a small used car to compete.
There is a small car reviewers liked about the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo when it was new. Available sedan and hatchback body styles offer flexibility, but reviewers say the car standard four-cylinder engine requires more power and steering Aveo is sloppy. They also said the Aveo's seats are comfortable, although the cabins need more leg room for adults. However, both the hatchback and the sedan has a number of cargo space for their size. Aveo's fuel economy ratings of the city 27/35 mpg / highway with the manual transmission for the class.
Compared to his classmates, the Aveo does not have a lot of standard features. Base LS Aveo is equipped with auxiliary input jack and stereo, but it does come with basic features like air conditioning or power windows and door locks. Also, the short list in 2011 Aveo on safety features standard does not include anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control. The crash test Aveo was ranked among the lowest in the class. If you buy Aveo 2011 using, reliability low ratings could mean more repair bills.

Cars to Consider
The 2010 Hyundai Elantra, which won U.S. News 2010 Best Compact Car for the reward money, is a much better vehicle than the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo. The 2010 Elantra reliability and safety ratings are much higher, and has a more powerful engine. In addition, the Elantra is a suitable treatment for both highway and city. Inside, the cabin front and rear seat has ample space for adults and a large trunk. Although some cheap interior materials, Elantra has a list of class-competitive interior features that include features that are available such as a USB port and heated seats.
Like the Aveo 2011, 2011 Ford Focus has a fuel economy ratings are good, but some reviewers wanted more power and a larger rear seat. Focus 2011 surpassed the Aveo with a score higher reliability, the front seat space and high-tech interior optional features, such as Ford's Sync infotainment system. Unlike the Aveo, Ford Focus also has a good safety ratings and more standard safety features, including electronic stability control and Ford's MyKey system, which helps parents monitor their teens driving behaviors.

Audi A4 Review

Audi A4 Review

2013 Audi A4 ranked 7 out of 20 Upscale Midsize Cars. The ranking is based on our analysis of 36 published reviews and test drives of the Audi A4, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Although A4 is less powerful than a number of cars in the class, reviewers remain impressed with the drivetrain refined, balanced handling and great fuel economy. In EPA-estimated 24/31 mpg city / highway, get a basic A4 fuel savings better than any number of upscale midsize car. If you're looking for more power, the 2013 Audi S4 is built on the performance attributes of the A4 with standard all-wheel drive and a more powerful supercharged V6 engine. On balance, reviewers agree that while S4 has outstanding performance capabilities, it's not as fast or agile as rivals such as the BMW M3.

Audi has a reputation for designing some of the best interiors in the market, and in general, reviewers agree that the 2013 A4 uphold that image. One reviewer mentioned that some of the plastic trim is not quite up to snuff, but most agree that the cabin is well thought out with high quality materials. Most reviewers think that the standard leather seats comfortably in front, although some mention lack of legroom in the back seat. New features for 2013 include revised MMI infotainment system and a navigation system that can provide wireless internet access. However, a vocal minority of critics say that the revised infotainment system could be more user-friendly.

BMW 3 Series 2012

BMW 3 SeriesBMW 3-Series pick up where the old model left off, and has achieved some amazing reviews from critics. It looks like BMW will once again go straight to the top of the class.
Among many other things, the examiner is a big fan of the new characteristics of the 3-Series' club, a variety of large machinery and important improvements on the interior space, refinement and build quality. Overall, it is a car that is really great!Interior
The biggest complaint critics have previously considered the car interior, so it's no surprise that BMW has made an improvement in this area. It's not as driver focused as in generations past, but the quality and design better, especially this time - now looks and feels like a premium car right.
Thanks to the wheelbase is slightly longer and wider, the new car is also more spacious - there was good space in front, there is ample leg and head room in the back for adults and the boot is one of the largest in its class.Driving
BMW 3 Series has always excelled in the drive way, and the new car is no exception. Although larger than the car it replaces, it's lighter and more nimble. Tester said that exemplary grip and balance, with great steering and body roll is well controlled.
When you're not in the mood for racing around, new car worked very well as a car that is quiet - apart from some noise at low revs in a diesel engine, the overall improvement model, and got on very well, despite rolling in the run-flat tire!Enggine
Because it has just gone on sale, there are many machines to choose at the moment, but you can opt for are all very good. Downsizing means that you have to choose the 335i if you want to howl traditional six-cylinder petrol engines BMW, but they all offer good performance, has a lot of torque throughout the rev range and is quite efficient.
Most critics argue that the one to go for is the 320d - it may only have 180 bhp, but still fast enough for most people and very attractive returns 64 mpg. Overall, they think it's all 3 Series you'll ever need.Value for money
With the same price as the outgoing car - is already a class leader - the new 3-Series can not be anything other than a very good value for money. You get more equipment and better quality for the same price as before, and all variants are cheaper to fuel and tax.
It is competitively priced in the market and have some the lowest operating costs in its class. Thanks to her liking, residual values ​​should remain high. However, though it comes with a decent amount of kit as standard, it is very easy to make 3 Series cars are very expensive once you start piling on the options!It should be noted
Eight-speed automatic available as an option on every model in the range, and the testers were very impressed with it - it's smooth and easy to use, and the shift between the wheels are nice and smooth. But it's quite an expensive option, around £ 1,500, so it's only worth getting if you really need the auto box '.
For the time being, there is only one body style available - a four-door sedan. However, BMW will launch a variant convertible, coupe and estate car later this year. And, of course, the next M3 is also just around the corner ...Conclusion
Judging by the reviews, the new 3 Series is a very capable car that is close to perfect. It still has the traditional characteristics of the three - it drives brilliantly and has a large variety of machines - but now there is an impressive build quality and important improvements in practicality and refinement.Like its predecessor, the new 3 Series is a whole new benchmark in the class, and it's easy to recommend.

Pagani Huayra

 Pagani Huayra

Horacio Pagani is a neat little man with a shock of silver hair carefully prepared, owlish wire-rimmed glasses, and a tendency to quote Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. He also built one of the most singular supercar in the world. The Pagani Zonda made its debut at the 1999 Geneva show, and was impressed with the quality, performance, and surprisingly well sorted chassis and powertrain. The Pagani Huayra - that's pronounced "h-wire-a" - is the long-awaited successor to the Zonda. And the good news is, despite last-minute hitch over two-stage airbags, this 230-mph road rocket will be sold in the United States first car - Pagani took 12 orders for $ 1.2 million (base price) Huayra the Pebble Beach weekend - scheduled to arrive in 2013.
Huayra is powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 specially built for Pagani by AMG that develops more than 700 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. Drive is fed to the rear wheels via a seven-speed transverse, single-clutch automated manual transmission built by Xtrac. Pagani Huayra Huayra front Three Quarters features an all-new chassis with monocoque made of titanium-infused carbon fiber center, and the wheelbase has been stretched 2.8 inches during this Zonda. Suspension is pure race car thing: control arms are made of copper-rich aluminum alloy called Avional, with pushrod-actuated Ohlins shocks. Carbon brakes by Brembo - channeling air through the intercoolers to warm them in the winter - and PZeros tires specially developed by Pirelli to cope not only with the Huayra top speed, but his ability to pull 1.5 g through corners.
The carbon bodywork styled by Pagani himself, and features active aerodynamics - flaps at each corner of the car that can move independently and change the downforce according to input from sensors that measure speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, roll, and the steering angle. The suspension will also automatically lower the nose to increase downforce corners of the car and the speed of the attack. Pagani Huayra Huayra Top View The fit and finish, and attention to detail, amazing Horacio exceed standards set by the Zonda. Exposed shifter linkage itself included in an art museum. Calling instrument made from the same material used to make the Patek Philippe watch face, a set of four costs almost $ 9000. There are 1200 titanium bolt on the car. It cost 80 dollars. Every. The Huayra, Pagani said, was inspired by the idea of ​​roadgoing jet, and he spent a lot of time tuning the sound turbocharged V-12 is the intake so it sounds like the F-15 spooling up when you get gas.
Huayra hard drive along mountain roads and whistles and screaming and psssshhttts like psychotic calliope. It sounds like no other car, which is appropriate, because more than Enzo Ferrari or Lamborghini Ferrucio, the Pagani Huayra is a magnificent obsession with one person writing great - a combination that is truly unique of art and technology.
