2011 Audi A8 Hybrid an Expensive Model as The Flagship Brand

Based on the Audi A8 in 2011 (photo), who himself was only broken covers several months ago, the A8 is expected to be a hybrid Hybrid two-mode itself fully capable of moving under engine power, electricity or a combination. While Audi plans to cut the "mild" hybrids that can not move under electrical power, the A8 is not expected to be hybrid electric vehicles-extened range, one that uses a gasoline engine only as a generator. A8 The Hybrid engine will most likely still be connected to the wheel.

Audi engine that will be used to power the hybrid is as yet unknown. In Europe, the car carrying the two-V 6 and V-8 diesel engine and two V-6 and V-8 gasoline engine. To date, nearly all hybrids have been using the gasoline engine, but Audi could decide to break that trend. Given that the US-market A8 comes with a gasoline V-8 only, it is the most likely choice of engine for this application.

Little else is known about the A8 Hybrid, but we hope it will be offered both in Europe and the United States and possibly other markets. It is also expected to bring a premium price above the base A8, itself an expensive model as the flagship brand, which may limit the appeal

2012 Ford Focus Wagon Six-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic (aka PowerShift) Transmission with 2.0-liter Diesel Engine.

2012 Ford Focus Wagon is the fifth variant derived so far from the platform of the new Ford C-car Global, developments that are part of a growing "One Ford" effort. We first saw a platform that supports C-Max and Grand C-Max at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, the Focus sedan and hatch in Detroit. Ford has plans for at least five more cars from the platform. U.S. markets will see some of these vehicles, but Focus wagon reportedly not going to be one of them.We get funky five-door hatchback Focus, however, nearly the same versatility as the wagon and did not come with a negative stigma. Indeed, Americans apparently warming to the idea if the orders for the Fiesta hatchback - the new Ford car another world - is any indication. So far, orders for the Fiesta in the U.S. reportedly evenly split between the sedan and hatch

Besides getting Focus Wagon, the Europeans also get a diesel engine for their focus. A lineup 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi engine is available in 161, 138, and 113 hp flavor, while the 1.6-liter Duratorq TDCi can have with 113 or 94 hp. Ford has not released anything for the torque output of diesel engines, but we know the car maker will offer a six-speed dual-clutch automatic (aka PowerShift) transmission with 2.0-liter diesel engine.

Ford's commitment to add the technology for small cars is seen by the list of Focus feature. Everything from Sync to control torque vector for the adaptive cruise control will be available on the Focus, although not every technology will be available in every market. Ford was willing to take any and all technological features for each market with enough demand to make the business case, so if enough Americans demand an active cruise control and are willing to pay for it, easy for Ford to add those features.
So while Ford was willing to harbor more of the popular technology features as the market dictates, not every market will get every model built on the C-car platform Global - at least not at first. The last train Ford Focus managed only about four percent of sales in the U.S., so Ford does not seem a waste of money right now to sell it here.

Besides technology, Ford was willing to pack an unexpected luxury features into focus as well. Besides Focus wagon, Ford launched the Focus hatchback electric yellow five-door in the event the night before the day of his first press of Geneva, and the car was filled with black leather seats with yellow piping. This trim, something you might expect to see in Jaguar, not Ford, not necessarily intended for the American market too, right? we asked the director of Ford's global marketing, Jim Farley.

Imagine, if you want, put million-dollar Lamborghini Reventon into a blender with a brand-new Murcielago LP 640-4, and pressed the button marked "mix." Although we will not do such cruel acts on the willingness of our own, we have no doubt that the results would look like a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce 2010.

But the latest iteration of the Murcielago is more than just the cosmetic refresh. Although the term Superveloce Italian translates to "high speed," when applied to the legendary Miura and Diablo, he came to represent a hardcore supercar with high levels of performance. From what we see on the new LP 670-4 SV, that tradition continues.

The first re-engineer Murcielago's aluminum-block 6.5-liter V-12 engine. At first sight, this is a little different from those in the LP 640 and the Reventon, but thanks to new intake manifold, exhaust system, engine computer, and optimized valvetrain, engine now pumps out 670 hp substantial - more than a 10 hp and 30 hp more Reventon of the Murciélago LP 640. Unlike Diablo SV, Diablo VT system that avoided all-wheel-drive which supports setting rear-wheel-drive, the Murcielago LP 670-4 SV continue to send power to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual.

With increased power, the team at Sant'Agata Bolognese see weight loss. Although the base Murciélago has used large amounts of carbon fiber throughout the car, 3670 lb curb weight is not the definition of svelte. Thus, the Lamborghini working on cutting some heavy components. New exhaust system that may help increase strength, but also 22 pounds lighter than before. Switch to high-strength steel tube frame chassis sheds 44 pounds, while increasing torsional stiffness by 12 percent.
Although still well appointed, cabin Murcielago is not lost on a strict diet. Sports seats needed for a sports car, but those at LP 670-4 SV is made of carbon fiber. They also trimmed in Alcantara, Lamborghini claims a much lighter material than leather hide. Do not look for any audio or navigation systems, either - unless specifically requested by customers, they are cleaned in the pursuit of lighter cars.

Designers also have some form of government is free to revise the Murcielago's. A new chin spoiler, side skirts and intakes, rear diffuser and spoiler may look as though they just design the tie-ins to the Reventon ultra-rare, but they're so much more. Each part plays a major role in increasing downforce, something that many of the Lamborghini is very less. A fixed rear spoiler plays a major role in maintaining the rear planted terra firm, but a larger unit (photo) is also available. Although SV LP 670-4 is available in seven different colors, Lamborghini seems determined to painting a new body kit in black for contrast.

The end result is a (lighter 3450 pounds), an evil Murcielago is ready either for street or track. Lamborghini Murcielago SV-spec claims could reach 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 212.5 mph. That must be quick, and we hope to run the entire production (limited to 350 examples) to sell out quickly. Price Range $354.000-$450.000.

On the other hand, for driving more efficient, electric motor can push the Touareg will be emissions-free at speeds of up to 31 mph.
