FM Evantra, as one would expect from a super car, will go into production in very limited series. The Italian company is planning to build in the year a total of five cars, the first of which has already been put into operation and will appear to the general public in the middle of next year.

It also reported that the buyer will equip FM Evantra to the maximum according to their own preferences, and production control will direct itself creator - Luca Mazzanti.
Characteristics of the new Evantra, as well as external design, impressive. Low height-Opposed engine with six cylinders, except that has a 3.5-liter non-turbo and even develops 403 horsepower, has allowed the creator to build a stable and maneuverable sports car with a low center of gravity and excellent handling.
The excellent aerodynamic performance, combined with the performance of a powerful engine (equipped with the system Twin Turbo, 6-cylinder powerplant develops 603 horsepower), allow the car with a modest weight 1200 kg and a length of 4325 mm, accelerating from a standstill to sixty miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds. The width and height of the new Evantra FM (Faralli and Mazzanti) is 1 955 and 1225 mm respectively.
Faralli and Mazzanti - a car manufacturer who knows his job for five plus. The founders were Walter Faralli and Luca Mazzanti, developer based in Italy. Prior to the release of new applications Evantra, which in turn is derived from the project «FM» - Mugello, the automaker famous for unique Cisitalia 202 and Maserati 450 Coupe Zagato «il Mostro».

The Japanese auto maker, Mazda corporation, is developing a new “SUV”, which will be the third city in the SUV lineup the company, after already left the assembly line auto models SH7, SH9.

The new Japanese crossover, which is classified as SH5, passes the test road test, and although the exact technical specification Mazda CX crossover in May 2011 has not yet advertised, it is known that the machine repeats the designs used in the model Minagi, shown at the Geneva auto show.
Stylish design and powerful sports body SUV Mazda CX 5, no doubt will make the choice even the most demanding customer. A membership of this machine to a known brand, it becomes even more tasty morsel on the car market.
New style bears no resemblance to their predecessors - SH 7 which recently went on sale in Russia, “counters” and 9 series. Dividing console and instrument panel changed its configuration, a new instrument made wells and ducts, three - spoke wheel controls and a new block adjusting the climate - control.
As the car is a new generation - Minagi, Mazda CX 5 is a lightweight body and chassis of the modified base. Powertrains will be a crossover - carbureted engines standard SKY-G and SKY-D diesel engine with direct fuel feed to the system. The motors are positioned with a manual transmission and automatic.
Mazda CX car 5 so soon went down to the global auto market has already been referred to as a direct rival to the German - Audi Q5 and BMW X1.
Officially, the car will present this fall at the world avtoraute in Frankfurt, and the conveyor novelty will come in December, at an estimated cost of 36,000 dollars. Not bad for a potential buyer SUVs in its class.

Maybe soon begin official sales of the new Honda. Discover it, but only about our automotive market. In America, the Accord Crosstour already familiar.

The company’s representatives say that if the novelty will be popular, tops Honda, look, think about the withdrawal of our market model Acura, which so far can be purchased only through the “gray” dealers.
In the meantime, with the Lexus and Infiniti aims to fight it Crosstour, «lost” in the title Accord - to avoid confusion with the sedan, because the American and European Accord have little in common. Prospects for this battle, we can assess on a small test drive.
Frankly, to find a direct competitor for the new items is difficult. Painfully unusual positioning of the model. She, according to representatives of Honda, is an entirely new class: intermediate between crossovers and sedans. Comes to mind only one such car: BMW GT. However, despite the fact that Honda is clearly there has been in the premium segment, consider these models as ravontsennyh competitors too early.
Crosstour looks original. It appeared earlier that same GT - would produce a real sensation. However, and now it will clearly follow gaze, at least at first. Bizarre body shapes make the car like no wagon or hatchback at, nor the crossover. Dimensions Auto: length - 4999 mm, width - 1,900 mm Wheelbase - 2797 mm.
The most memorable parts of the exterior car, perhaps, are the imposing grille, chrome front and two rear exhaust pipe.
In order to impose a certain rivalry between producers of premium-car segment, Honda had to abandon those finishing materials that are used to American cars. After all, European buyer to exacting quality finishing materials. So, despite the fact that the machine is available in the U.S., to us gets a car with the interior decoration of a higher class. The plastic inside is not to say that the most mild and pleasant to the touch, but certainly not “wooden”. By the way, unlike the American version, there elektroskladyvaemye mirror.
Get behind the wheel Crosstour quite simply, the seats are comfortable. The only negative - it’s common for cars from Asia, the problem: rather short pillow. But get used to the crossbeam, which greatly complicates the review in the rearview mirror is difficult.
A stranger from the past looks like the joystick control audio, protruding from a central console. At one time (10 years ago) was very fashionable to install a car radio Sony with similar control device, which can be attached to any convenient place. But today, such a solution, in addition to the expensive car, looks weird.
In this case, the system itself is quite modern. 7-dyumovy monitor, which displays a navigation system from Navteq, a rearview camera and information from the audio system - everything you need for happiness.
One of the most memorable of the “chips» Crosstour - two-piece boot. Under the main branch is the central box, which you can get, for example, marinate meat in it on skewers. Or fill in freshly caught fish, or just throw it in the dirty shoes, so that it does not stain the boot. The volume of the main part of separation - 457 hp, if you fold the seat, you can get an impressive 757 hp.
Under the hood Crosstour engine V6 of 3.5 liters, 275 hp, maximum torque of 339 Nm. He works in conjunction with 5-speed automatic. Wheel drive system borrowed from the crossover vehicle CRV. Such a choice, rather than the more logical in the direction of an intelligent all-wheel drive, which was equipped with Honda Legend, is linked not so much with the possible rise of a car, much to the fact that in America Crosstour sold in front-wheel version (with the transmission of the Legend does not allow both simply refuse to rear-drive).
According to documents the car from zero to hundreds of 8.9 sec. In fact, it seems that there is a lot longer. Feels rather big weight car (1906 kg) and its hard big feed.
It is difficult to draw any serious conclusions after a test-drive the length of 50 km. I thought that was going Crosstour more in American than in European style. In turns the car shakin ‘, even though this version had been established other springs and dampers, designed to tighten the suspension. At the same trajectory Crosstour holds good.
Wheel in Crosstour slightly empty and not informative. On the motion of “the wheel” car reacts somehow reluctantly. Why no complaints - so this is the brakes. Pedal is quite informative. Stopped cars with no problems.
On some off-road qualities too early to speak. Check them had no chance. One can only assume that the ground clearance of 205 mm will easily climb the curbs. Yes, there probably is not required. Too staid and important to get a Honda car. “Knead” the dirt on it (even if it is theoretically possible) somehow pity and not of status.
In any case, definitive conclusions about the behavior of cars on the road can be made after a full test drive. While we can only note the well equipped car, the original looks and an impressive price. For this money, the choice of potential buyers is huge. And not the fact that he turned his attention to a compromise between a sedan and a crossover, rather than choose a car for the same price, fully related to one of these classes.

On the Carnewsportal’s test  - the second generation of the popular Ford Focus. And through the bright red sedan had a lot: 20 days in the snowy slush almost 2000 kilometers and many hours of standing in horrendous traffic jams.

We were lucky, the test has got to Focus, which is not taken immediately after the start of a two dozen taxi company, not given yet full-fledged children as the first car, “to learn to ride”, and young families do not fit for them in the loan yoke. So the issue of personalization - a unique, perhaps, a weak spot in Focus Given the vast number of hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons of this model on our roads - was dropped by itself.
Two liters under the hood, 145 hp, automatic transmission, a series of Titanium with dopoborudovaniem a few thousand dollars, Exterior Colorado Red, 16-inch alloy wheels, chrome elements, bi-xenon headlights … Impressive list.
However, in our Focus looks just like thousands of his fellow men: the same harsh to the touch plastic, decorated, however, aluminum edging devices. The rest are all familiar, and familiar to any “magician.” Maybe it is good - ergonomics in the cabin Focus gorgeous numerous levers, buttons and switches are always at hand.
Take, for example, “joystick” on the steering column that is responsible for management of radio. Already reseeding another car, I still have two weeks with an idiotic obstinacy in trying to find the remote and, I confess, felt some frustration, not having achieved its goals. Yes, and at an alarming red snowflake on the dashboard was bored - no one has warned that around the winter.
Two-liter Focus, despite the “automatic”, is dynamic. Claimed 10.8 with a hundred is enough to not feel odd in strained Moscow’s traffic. A pair of friends complained about the “podtuplivanie” automatic transmission, but during the test, “our» Focus nothing critical has not been noticed. Two liters for the sedan weighing 1300 kg were injected precisely what the doctor ordered. And then banned the anti-doping commission. Spur mares wanted, and, indeed, the desire to embody in reality with an eye to the traffic police. Even on a slippery road car kept steadily at high speed.
The only thing that initially annoyed, it’s short stroke gas pedal at the start - after yet another scrolling in the snowy slush colleagues in a traffic jam kept glancing in astonishment and disdain, as one looks at the next yard stritreysera. Thank you in time connecting ESP - stern wag it represses promptly. And the problem turned out to be far-fetched. Matter of habit - on the third day, I imagine this is not allowed.
Positive emotions added elastic suspension without annoying rolls, but regularly swallowed by irregularities, and responsive steering. In this case, there are three tuning amplifier: “comfort”, “normal” and sports “. However, even in “comfort” more transparent enough, the weight of the wheel is poured, when it should be, so I experimented a bit with the other two settings, I still choose this.
There are no miracles: 145-hp engine made to pay for the pleasure in a literal sense - consumption did not fall below 11.5 liters per 100 km in the “work - giving”. But this is taking into account the swift starts with a traffic light, eat up fuel great distances at the entrance to the city and the daily 20-kilometer high-speed cross-country races in the country.
During the time of possession Focus II ugorazdilo me get right to the two grand automotive collapse when the car had to spend over five hours. Anyone experienced this for myself I understand the driver: in the third hour is already beginning to fidget, which seemed so comfortable seat insanely annoying and generally want to escape from the car. So, Focus, thanks to a convenient deep planting the driver’s seat, and wide enough for etgo class range of settings, it referred to the level of irritation minimized. True, the complaining passengers - for the right front seat of such magnificence of adjustment is not provided.
Summary of farewell to the Focus II, and later this year begin selling the third generation of the popular model is formulated laconically: here Ford has achieved the maximum. And little things like poor insulation rear wheel arches, which complained “fokusovody ‘assessment does not change.
The minus is the second generation Focus can be attributed only to his popularity. It would seem, Ford revealed the true secret to success in any business: excellent value for money in conjunction with a competent product promotion. But what happens? A country road full of identical cars, they same people twist the same wheels and press on the same pedal to break through to the same shop and trying to make the same sale. And in our country the buyer is specific enough, the car he perceives as a reflection of their status. Not the fact that it will carry the money in the salon to go out at exactly the same car as your neighbor. Let the ideal from a pragmatic point of view.
Once in a conversation with a colleague about the problem of choosing a car, the C-Class in the popular price category, I spoke in that vein that the car is taken for a girl, which means that the car must be in some way unusual. As possible in this price range. He looked up with surprise and some condemnation. Like, if such vehicle is fully on the road, it merely says that, yes, indeed, a good car. Everything else - the empty ambition and show off.
Yet how many people come in salons for a new car, absolutely no interest in how to set up suspension, a generation of ESP will prevent them from skidding, and how long the backlight will live in the luggage compartment? Ask the manager: each second, if not more, makes the choice once and for all to see on the road it - the very same. The rest - the formalities. And if a man is drawn to an experienced friend for advice, it is only in order to obtain confirmation of calm: “Take it, do not worry, a normal car.”
“Our» Focus II in this case was a perfect choice. On the one hand, this is a car that has everything to prove. C the other - thanks to an unexpected color scheme and chrome finish his appearance began to play with new colors. Focus this really stands out from the crowd, gives the very coveted personalization, and thanks to a rich stuffing finally parted ways with the strengthen the image of “workhorse”.

First, from the sedan range will disappear, and later a hatchback. “This is a new company policy” - said Yusegi - “We have decided to focus on environmentally friendly electric cars and hybrids. According to him, buyers are better perceive the emergence of electric vehicles, if the scale of the company will completely disappear sports modification of any models.
At the Geneva Motor Show Mitsubishi introduced the concept of Global Small Concept - a compact car that will replace the Colt. It is expected that the production version of the hatchback will be powered by an electric motor. It is on these cars - compact and environmentally friendly, intends to concentrate its efforts Mitsubishi.
So, ready for the end of an era, the era of uncompromising sports car, which incidentally was very helpful in the promotion of Mitsubishi products in the global market.
The first generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution appeared in 1992 as a homologation party required to participate in the World Rally Championship. Sedan was equipped with a 2-liter engine producing 247 hp, four-wheel drive transmissions from the Galant VR-4. One of the most successful was the seventh generation sedan, which appeared in 2001. Lancer Evolution VII was equipped with a transmission that can be called one of the most advanced, not only at the time of creation, but also for today. Inter-wheel differential AYC (Active Yaw Control) was responsible for the distribution of traction between the wheels of one axle, and central ACD (Active Center Differential) with multi-plate clutch controlled by the difference in wheel speed front and rear axles.
Recently, the tenth generation Lancer Evolution appeared in 2007. Under the hood - engine capacity 295 hp The machine is equipped with a “mechanics” and robototizizirovannoy transmission. Great sporting success in the asset at the Evo X is not - Mitsubishi has long gone from the arena of World Rally Championship.

Car wipers - devices for cleaning the anterior (front) windows of vehicles (car, trolley bus, tram, etc.), as well as the rear glass and glass headlights the car from rain and dirt. Cleaning is oscillating motion of rubber brushes.
Clean the slides!

Car wipers - habitual and ordinary thing for any motorist. But, as the car itself, they were a long way to go to a car windshield in the form in which we see them now.

Probably everyone has ever been at the show retro. Next time, pay attention not only on the car itself, as well as a small but important detail, like a brush, and feel the difference between the small chrome strips of metal and leather and modern designs.

Car wipers construction

Consider the close of what constitutes the most common today wiper. This is the node attached to the leash, the system clamping rocker, or just a clamping system, as it brushes frameless spring, and she Wiper.

Mount

All modern brushes mount for versatility is removable. The pin at the base of brush is put on the adapter, ensuring compatibility with various types of fasteners leashes. Adapters from different manufacturers have different forms, it affects the reliability of the connection.

Clamping block

Clamping unit in its classical form consists of a system of articulated rocker. Their number in the block depends on the length of the brush and ranges from three to six. The most common system with five rockers.

Rocker themselves are made of metal or plastic (brushes CHAMPION). When used as a metal material in the joints Metakhim rocker made plastic insert. They seal the joints, prevent the ingress of sand and some degree of moisture.

Already in the legs themselves rocker is a rubber brush, and the throat holder must be such that the brush is freely walking along them. In order to while working, it does not fly in, made stops or is fixing one edge of the gum.

Wiper

Gum is probably the most important part of the brush, in fact it eventually clears the water and dirt from the windshield. Its form - a product of years of work, and its every detail and every ledge carry their functional load. For quality of gum should be to combine a lot of contradictory properties. To be both flexible and rigid, hard and soft. And to achieve the ideal compromise, developers are still looking for new solutions.

Profile brushes of  car wipers virtually the same for all manufacturers. Its main parts - a blade brush and a system of spring elements - they are joined together by thin rubber bridges.

Knife brush has a trapezoidal shape, it is very sharp at the end, and thickens to the ground.

The system of spring elements consists of three strips of rubber of rectangular cross section. The first band, located just after the knife is used to impart additional stiffness in the field of strong deformation due to the intrinsic bending. And between the second and third strip is inserted leaf spring, made generally of stainless steel, this unit is needed to give the longitudinal stiffness of the knife.

How we tested the car wipers

It was decided to conduct the test in two stages.

First, the results of which we present in the pages of this issue - is a rapid analysis of the quality of new brushes.

They assessed the quality of work in the winter off-season when they are installed on the driver and passenger of the windshield. At the same time the car was put products from different manufacturers, after assessment visits brush interchanged. We also evaluated the plastic material properties of rubber knives during their cooling down to -18 ° C.

We decided to abandon the method of artificial aging of coatings by his mechanical wear and replace it with natural aging. This is due to the fact that the mechanical wear - it’s just one of the factors affecting the material. At work there are also a natural process of oxidation, thermal effects and exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which leads to the conclusion or amendment is part of the rubber plasticizer. Because of this brush are losing flexibility.

Brushes were chosen most standard sizes - 50 cm and 51 cm in our test involved a brush with five and six rockers, as well as frameless brush.

Frameless brush

The human desire for perfection will never stand still, and often encroaches on the mundane and familiar things, showing them on the other side and doing better. The automotive is one such innovative industries, where new technologies appear suddenly, and where they are, it happens and not wait.

Not so long ago was made “assault” on a standard design wiper blades: A number of companies have proposed to get rid of rocker to ensure a uniform fit brush to the glass surface, and proposed a new frameless technology.

What’s wrong with rocker?

Clamping system rockers has consistently improved almost from birth, wiper blades, and probably in modern brushes have already reached its peak of development. The producers of brushes all the time trying to keep up with new developments automakers, but they all tend to increase the visibility of the driver’s seat, to expand the area of the windshield, while it increased demands for safety. Wiper blades 50’s were only 25 cm in length, whereas now the most common size of 50 cm and to ensure uniform clamping brush to the surface of the number of used rocker arm increases today are standard of five-and six-rockers.

Increasing the number of rocker leads to an increase in the height of brush and, accordingly, its lateral motion at high speeds. Because of this brush is lifted above the surface of the glass and her work is getting worse. To reduce this effect, the manufacturers suggest using a special wing for the brushes.

In winter, the Achilles heel of the skeletal system is the freezing point of articulation, because of what the brush is frozen in one position and out of just cleaning. Knowing this, developers have offered special options for winter brushes. They mechanism is enclosed in a rubber boot. But to get rid of moisture in the cover still hard, because when the temperature changes the water condenses on the metal from the air, which is why in a cover made drainage holes, and this, in turn, leads to the ingress of moisture from the outside. Case himself to the same easy to damage, such as a brush for cleaning the snow, which again may lead to penetration of moisture inside the cover. By ultraviolet radiation from the sun rubber boot also loses its elasticity, which leads to the formation of cracks and ruptures. Sail brushes cover more than a simple koromyselnoy. That’s a vicious circle turns.

Down with the carcass!

Once and for all get rid of these shortcomings, developers have proposed opt out of what had been previously, and simply use the elastic band and an elastic pressure plate.

These car wipers are deprived of the above disadvantages, they all season, and have low windage.

Minus frameless brushes can be called a failure replace broken rubber element. But how many of the users of ordinary brushes used this opportunity? Basically, all the preferred replacement brush entirely.

So technology has made a step forward, now it’s up to the buyer, who, as usual, should vote their pocketbooks.

It would seem, how can you say about tuning in relation to the Ferrari - and the designer’s technical standard, perfection on wheels? Retort ready in the German tuning studio Novitec.

Its CEO Wolfgang Hagerdon unpatriotic crazy about Italian cars. For their fellow fans of Italian sports cars, Hagerdon engaged in fine-tuning of the legendary Ferrari, beautiful Mazerari, sporting Alfa Romeo and even ordinary Fiat.
Specifically to the Geneva branch Novitec Rosso produced the world premiere of which is based on nothing more than a model Ferrari. The Germans are engaged in fine-tuning the engine, guarantee quality and bring his small, restrained touch of a German style of Italian cars, adding to their functionally necessary elements, and two-tone coloring.
At the Geneva Motor Show, the premiere of the new Ferrari in the German version. Coupe-cabriolet with a hardtop Ferrari California served as the basis for the 606-strong sports car Novitec Race Rosso 606. Turbocharged engine, which became stronger in the original 140 hp, front-Ferrari able to disperse up to 325 km / h. Italian V8 volume of 4.3 liters, went through a good German engineering school and made California a completely different car.
Mechanical Air pump driven from the crankshaft via a toothed belt, creating a maximum boost pressure of 0.4 bar. Installing turbines also require additional intercooler with water cooling system, new design intake manifold and the change of the ignition system. Thus, the engine Novitec Rosso has improved engine power Ferrrari California from standard 460 hp to 606 hp at 7900 rpm. Simultaneously the maximum torque increased from 485 Nm to 603 Nm at 5500 rpm. Patched brains do not allow the car engine fall out beyond the strict environmental standards of Euro 4. But the phenomenal performance of the new Ferrari - is less than 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h and has already mentioned the maximum speed of 325 km / h.
Interestingly, the new exhaust system proposed for the Ferrari experts from Novitec, has a volume control by clicking Manettino on the steering wheel. The driver can choose between a more restrained sound of his car and pronounced with a loud sports exhaust. Vehicle exhaust system itself, of course, new, made of stainless steel and equipped with four exhaust pipes painted black
Switch Manettino migrated to the civilian version of the Ferrari racing cars from Formula 1. In 2004 the F430 was the first road Ferrari, which used a wheel with a switch Manettino. Just like in Formula 1, drivers can change the settings of your car and quickly and easily change the suspension settings, control systems Stability Program and others. Manettino allows you to quickly change the settings of the machine, taking into account personal preferences of the driver, concrete road surface conditions and weather.
Controllability at high speeds depends on the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle. Designers and engineers Ferrari California Rosso Race 606 practiced new body parts in a wind tunnel. As a result, it was suggested that the decision of forming the front and rear spoilers, as well as the diffuser under the rear bumper. All changes will increase the downforce the car at high speeds, which contributes to optimizing directional stability. All additional aerodynamic components are made of carbon fiber and weighs almost nothing. Excess weight is pernicious for supercars. It is also entirely made of carbon fiber hood, grille, panel folding hard roof and trunk lid.
Another component of the new Ferrari sports are the wheels. Firstly it is a special composite alloy with a carbon coating. And on the rear axle put a large and wide rollers. If the front axle are huge 21-inch wheels at the rear - 22 inch. Accordingly, the front and rear wheels are different tires, but makes them among themselves and with the wheels of the world Formyly-1, the same tire manufacturer - the famous Pirelli.
In the suspension are custom elements that can squeeze the car to the ground by 35 mm. A front axle still standing and the hydraulic system with controls on the steering wheel. At the request of the driver’s front end the car can be raised by 40 millimeters, which allows low supercar to overcome the speed bumps or steep ramps at the entrance to the garage or on a paid parking. Upon reaching speeds of 80 mph the front end to force the car back to its original position.

In recent years, Japanese automakers are serious about preparing their vehicles to an inspection tuned cars passing under the flag of the Tokyo Motor Show. Now here demonstrates not only new engines vysokooborotisty strange aeroobvesy and slender Japanese show girls.

No, the girls will not be lost, and crazy aeroobvesy again hoisted to the cars. But now the producers do not show the individual elements, and completely new tuned cars, which absorbed all the originality of Japanese designers and engineers courage. This year in Tokyo was presented 626 automobiles.
Toyota looked at auto show in their native country and produced a huge amount of money to be shown at once 17 new models. Particular attention was paid to the terrible and terribly expensive small car IQ GRMN, honing driving quality that went on the German Nurburgring. This bolide is and supercharger, which increases the power of the engine, and roll cage, racing seats and racing harnesses.
Another important vehicle for Toyota was the Lexus IS F CCS-R, prepared for the sports club racing circuit (CCS-R). This machine was designed from scratch as a racing car with a light carbon-fiber body, a reinforced safety cage. The body further cover up the aerodynamic elements, and under the hood is a huge 5.0-liter V8 with 495 hp The new car will participate in a 24-hour races at Nurburgring this year.
Most unusual was the apparatus Toyota Prius G Sports Concept - this is almost a racing car, built on the basis of the hybrid Toyota Prius. Japanese Prius Series “G” has a special hard suspension settings and sports seats. The name of the car should be reminded of the classic sports models, Toyota, such as the 2000GT, and Celica GT-Four.
And still on the stands lit up a very unusual Toyota Toyota TES Concept T-Sports on the rear-wheel drive vehicle engineers selected as the most proper for the sports coupe. This concept is built on a platform of MR-S. Experts call this model only as “younger brother” Toyota FT-86, developed in conjunction with Subaru. According to rumors development budget of the FT-86 strongly crept beyond reasonable and it will have to pay for customers - the price is not expected to be small. Therefore, Toyota is needed in its variety of more affordable sports car which hints and concept Toyota TES Concept T-Sports. He has under the hood is just 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, whose power is 109 horsepower, and weighs only 900 kg. In concept a very modest size - it is just 3,810 mm in length and 1651 mm in width.
As expected, in Tokyo, was not without charged versions of the Nissan GT-R, which received the most attention tuners. The steepest GT-R were, of course, the stand of the manufacturer - the company Nissan. Car Nismo GT-R RC (Racing Concept) was prepared, perhaps the most famous Japanese tuning studio Nismo. This sports coupe is not small money (about 200,000 dollars) and can take part in racing competitions are held around the world. The car is built for all safety FIA, has a powerful internal skeleton that protects the driver, secure the fuel tank of 120 liters and other mandatory for racing cars of the design.
At least a dozen other companies involved in the tuning of cars, we decided to choose the GT-R, as an object for their work. At the head of the Armada GT-R can be supplied version of Blitz GT-R with a fantastic 1000-hp motor or 800-horsepower Nissan Tommy Kaira GT-R. Tuning package from the Tommy Kaira called “Silver Wolf” and looks great. In addition to the external body kit is processed brakes, exhaust system and installed new suspension components.
Honda has focused the attention of visitors Dealer in two cars: a matte black TS-1X, created on the basis honda CR-Z and Honda NSX 20th anniversary, dedicated 20 years of famous model NSX, which when it was referred to as a Japanese Ferrari. The machine did not alter the aircraft as a tribute to the legendary appearance, but equipped with carbon fiber rear spoiler and do not forget to replace the brakes and suspension components for more sophisticated modern models. Honda TS-1X has a very sharp features, strengthen aerodynamic bodywork, the suspension settings are modified and enhanced body stiffness. TS-1X is an attempt to give Honda passion and aggressiveness in the docile nature of the hybrid sedan.
One of the traditional favorites of Interior, Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The new version of WRX STI TS long run-in at the Nurburgring. The creators want to develop best-in-class 2.0-liter turbodvizhok and thus bring its performance up to the magic of perfection.

Fortunately, the arms race in the world have died down. If countries and develop in every way their own power, it makes it pretty secretive. Why not tell about the battle for the customer, with the participation of the leading automobile companies.

On every step the concerns properly warn. The latest news came from the company’s Audi AG. The division of Europe’s largest automobile concern Volkswagen AG intends in the period from 2011 to 2015, investing in the development of 11.6 billion euros. Such cash infusion aimed at achieving early voiced this year goal: by 2015 achieve the straps at 1,5 million sold around the world of cars.
About 5 billion of that money will be spent on modernization of production at the company’s plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Well, while the remaining money will be spent on developing new cars and technology development, such as electric and hybrid systems.
In addition, the company plans to hire about 1,200 employees. Recall that in the course of 2010 Audi has already hired 500 workers and 780 trainees.
The first result of a solid funding should be to introduce a unique elektrosportkara R8 e-tron 2012.
It must be said at this year’s theme of innovation and innovative technologies in cars, said there were many. Just remember that some of the released this year, cars (mostly premium, of course) equipped with an access point Wi-Fi, which means that right out of the car can get online.
However, some studies have shown that this coin has another side. All kinds of displays, masseurs and computers can greatly distract the driver from the road up to the creation of an emergency.
Besides, plenty of electronics makes the car more vulnerable to hackers. It turns out that these masters of computer science can crack and a car. This is the conclusion, scientists in Washington and Universita University of San Diego (USA).
In order to confirm their assumptions, the experts wrote a program that interacts with the vehicle computer. She was able to switch off the engine, lock the brakes and falsifying mileage. So it would be nice if some of this huge sum Audi has spent a decent firewall.

While Europe is preparing for the upcoming holidays and is struggling with heavy snowfalls in the province of China called Guangzhou is 8-th International Automobile Exhibition.

It is within this the show, Nissan introduces its new global car. Such a loud epithet, by and large, deserves every car that goes to the Chinese market, given the number of potential customers, but in this case we are talking about model Nissan Sunny. Manual company Nissan, incidentally, immediately signaled that has designs on more than 170 countries, not only on China.
Domestic customers design new items at once may seem familiar, as recall the model Tiida. It is difficult, of course, be called a novelty appealing, but also to the category of faceless it does not consider. The very silhouette looks traditionally pronounced shoulder line and the rear lights are made in the style of late-model Nissan Maxima. Side view of a not particularly inspiring, but the rear, things are much better. The front of someone may seem overblown, but we are talking about the model Sunny. So it’s probably done with the intent to make the model look like that kind dobryachkom and could conquer the hearts of the young. In any case, this feature could be called a proprietary model for Sunny. In China, by the way, the brand appeared only in 2003.
Marketers expect to sell a new sedan for young families under the age of 30 years, which, apparently, in their eyes, are the main consumers of such vehicles. It is a midsize sedan with a spacious funky design, but having a membership of well-known brand. In this case, customers need to stay happy: besides the strange design and capacity, they will receive badges «Sunny» and «Nissan».
Under the hood of the new items will be 1,5-liter engine with marking HR15DE of company Nissan, which had already proved themselves to be good. Its capacity is 108 hp and torque 148 N • m It is mounted with a new generation of the variator Xtronic CVT. Both of these developments, by the way, first got to China. Engineers have adapted this for a couple of good performance when driving in the city, taking care not only about ecology, but also about the dynamics.
Suspension of the novelty is quite traditional. Front uses MacPherson essential rack, a rear torsion beam. In the case of these budget creation such a construction is quite sufficient to make the car behave perky at low speeds and surely and steadily kept on their way to high.
Produced a new Sunny will be in Guangzhou Huadu plant, which manufactured products are a joint venture of Dongfeng and Nissan. Plans for the delivery of this model are unknown to us, but why should it not be, for example, the new Nissan Tiida.
In addition to a potential new bestseller in the exhibition provided an update Nissan Teana, the victor in 2010 - Nissan Leaf, the updated Nissan GTR, as well as various joint creation of Dongfeng and Nissan are solely for the domestic market of China. Note also that in 2010, Nissan plans to exceed the mark of 1 million cars sold. And this despite the fact that the original plan was more modest - 860,000 cars. Following this success Nissan plans to further increase sales in 2011 - to 1.15 million vehicles. And already with the help of Sunny, whose sales will start in China in January.
