Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:55 AM PDT Mercedes showed of a glimpse of future low emissions models with the new BlueZero concept car, shown at the 2009 Detroit auto show. The concept car showed in 3 different configurations of engine – the E-Cell, which was battery powered electric drive with a range of up to 200 kilometers, the F-cell which used a Hydrogen fuel Cell to power the same electric motors rather than batteries and had a range of up to 400 km, and the e-Cell plus, which used the same set up as the E-cell but also used a petrol engine as a generator to allow for extended journeys with a range of up to 600 km, with 100km alone on battery power only. All 3 cars used the unique layout of the Mercedes B-Class hatchback as a starting point as it has a dual layer sandwich floor that allows the batteries & fuel cell to be stored within the chassis at a very low centre of gravity without affecting the cabin space. |
2011 Hennessey HPE700 Camaro Convertible Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:54 AM PDT With the limited production run of Hennessey's 2010 HPE700 Camaro long since sold-out, the company has announced they will build another 24 units for the 2011 model year. This latest run of HPE700′s will include the addition of the new convertible model (from Chevrolet) and an increase in power from its supercharged 6.2L LS9 V8 – the same engine found in the Corvette ZR1. The 2011 HPE700 gets its additional power from revised boost levels and a more robust fuel system, delivering 755 bhp and 763 lb-ft of torque. This 30 horsepower increase over 2010 will also help move the convertible's extra weight, while the large 15 inch brakes from last year remain to bring it back to a stop quickly. As the Camaro convertible arrives in showrooms in the spring of 2011, the 6-speed manual SS model will become available alongside its hardtop brethren to become the basis for the HPE700 LS9 Camaro transformation. In addition to the upgraded LS9 engine, the HPE700 also includes an adjustable coilover suspension, larger sway bars, HPE lightweight wheels, larger 15-inch brakes with 6-piston front calipers, stainless steel long tube headers, painted hockey stripe, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, CarbonAero™ carbon fiber body kit and more to complete the car's distinct look and performance characteristics. As with the 2010 model year, the 2011 HPE700 LS9 Camaro will be limited to just 24 units, with no set allocation between coupe and convertible. Pricing for the complete HPE700 upgrade, including the base vehicle, is 2,500 and can be ordered directly through HPE or one of Hennessey's authorized Chevrolet dealers. 2011 Hennessey HPE700 LS9 Camaro Specifications Power: • 755 bhp @ 6,400 rpm • 763 lb-ft Torque @ 3,200 rpm Performance (Hardtop): • 0 – 60 mph: 3.3 sec. * • 1/4 mile: 10.9 @ 130 mph * • Skidpad: 1.01 g • 60 – 0 mph braking: 104 ft.

Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:54 AM PDT Porsche has finally unveiled the new 2011 Porsche 911 Speedster. Besides being created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the firm's in-house individualization operation, Porsche Exclusive, the 911 Speedster pays homage to the 356 Speedster. Styling wise the two-seater is significantly different from the other members of the 911 lineup. It sits 60 millimeters lower, has a chopped, has a flat contour of the sporty-look manual hood and a double-bubble hardcover for the soft top are reminiscent of the very first Speedster – that design cue makes the body of the rear-wheel-drive 911 Speedster with its 44 millimeters wider rear stand out even more.

Mercedes F800 Style Concept Car Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:54 AM PDT The F800 Style Concept Car from Mercedes Benz was designed to highlight future Mercedes technology and also give hints as to forthcoming new models such as a replacement for the Ageing Sport-Coupe that sits below the C-class sedan in the range. The F800 is a look at what a possible Compact Coupe from Mercedes Benz could look like, either in a 2 door or possible 4 door format. The concept car itself features a minivan style sliding rear door for easy access, but this would unlikely make production. It has what Mercedes describes as a multi drive platform meaning it can accommodate electric motors along side either a range extender hybrid combustion engine, a fuel cell, or a larger amount of batteries, whichever format the customer chooses. |
Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:54 AM PDT "Active Lifestyle Vehicle" Mazda is proud to announce a brand new direction in the utility market. At this year's Australian International Motor Show in Sydney, Mazda is unveiling the All-New BT-50 that signifies a new direction in the utility segment. It was developed as an "Active lifestyle vehicle," and is intended to further extend the appeal of a utility from traditional business users to a wide range of customers, including families and pleasure-seekers. The current BT-50 is Mazda's only offering in the utility segment. It is an established one-tonne utility that has won numerous awards and gained a strong following all over the world. In developing the new model, Mazda intended to expand its appeal to customers who lead active lifestyles and have needs that cannot be met by conventional utilities. It offers all the functionality required for business use combined with passenger car-like comfort for family use; and for active customers in Australia and Europe, it is the perfect answer for all kinds of outdoor leisure activities. In this way, the new BT-50 has been developed to fulfill the varied requirements of customers in every market. To ensure all these aims were met, the all-new BT-50 was developed under the theme "Active lifestyle vehicle." The result is a utility that offers unique value; it has refined and expressive styling; a comfortable, high quality interior; a smooth ride with the feel of a passenger car; sporty and responsive driving dynamics that reflect Mazda's DNA; and outstanding environmental and safety performance. Design: "Sophisticated Beast" We wanted to design a truck that car lovers would be deeply pleased with and proud to own. We targeted a unique and expressive design that people would find desirable, and we also wanted it to be seen as strong and dependable. This led us to define the design concept as a "Sophisticated Beast." As Ryo Yanagisawa, chief designer of the all-new BT-50, explains: "Mazda's brand message is Zoom-Zoom, which refers to the emotion of motion first experienced as a child. With the All-New BT-50, we aimed to express this emotion through the design, and we drew a lot of inspiration from various "movements" in the world around us. For example, we had a photograph of a lion. He looked like a magnificent predator with his muscles all bunching up as though he was about to pounce on his prey. His sinews were stretched taut ready to strike, and his mane framed a sharp, masculine countenance that seemed to say, 'I am the proud king of the beasts!' In profile, that lion appeared to be both intelligent and powerful. I really wanted the design of the truck to project that kind of image. This kind of inspiration was the basis of the emotional design that we worked so hard to achieve with the all-new BT-50." Exterior – Lively and Imposing Styling Without detracting from the strength or the level of functionality, we wanted to give the exterior of the All-New BT-50 an athletic design, overflowing with movement, that would make people immediately want to get in and drive. The crisp lines will have owners looking on with pride. The finished car has a beauty and individuality that can be recognized at a glance from any angle, even up to 100 meters away. * Dynamic wedge-shaped proportions evoke an image of a large carnivore about to pounce on its unsuspecting prey. This is unlike any other utility. * Casting off the conventional boxy image of a utility, sporty and dynamic lines are in tune with the rest of Mazda's passenger vehicle lineup. * Further evolving Mazda's traditional prominent fenders, muscular lines flow from the fenders along the body sides. A Front Fascia with a Bold, Overwhelming Presence and an Individual Rear End * Mazda's family face, the five-point grille, is further evolved for a more imposing expression with the headlights and a chrome crossbar forming a large pentagon. * The headlights have a bold boomerang shape, elaborate details and a functional beauty. * A first in the segment – the taillights are stretched horizontally, reaching around the corners and across the tailgate, for a sporty and refined rear view that is similar to a premium SUV. Interior – A Sporty and Personal Space We wanted to give the interior of the All-New Mazda BT-50 a more sporty and personal feel to complement the dynamic exterior image, and create a comfortable space to rival Mazda's current passenger car standard. The cockpit is designed to wrap around the driver and provide an environment that supports enthusiastic driving. It raises anticipation for a sporty and responsive driving experience that goes beyond any conventional utility. * The flowing design smoothly connects the center of the instrument panel to the raised center console, which has never before been seen in a pickup truck. * The dashboard has an asymmetric design to create optimal space on each side; it reassuringly wraps around the driver and provides an open space for the passenger. * Four bold metallic panel strips on the door trim and sides of the center console express dynamism and seem to be supporting the interior space. * A metallic outline highlights the two cylindrical meters and connects them via a center strip to improve readability and enhance the sporty, driver-oriented impression of the instrument panel. * The audio control panel and the climate control switch panel, which has independent driver- and passenger-side temperature controls, form a beautifully designed human interface. With modern and refined styling both inside and out, the All-New Mazda BT-50 will raise the bar in the utility segment and for the first time provide a realistic alternative to the family wagon and 4×4 SUV.
