Mitsubishi XR-PHEV II Concept...

However, as assured as the creators of the inverse image of the expected model, a prototype is also a harbinger of the second production model of the account «Mitsubishi» stuffed with hybrid batteries which can be recharged from a simple mains.If we talk about the appearance of the concept XR-PHEV II, is from his series is not the same "brother", has shown in 2013 at the motor show in Tokyo, it is primarily characterized by a slightly different falshradiatornoy grille, modified optics with more "squint", others wheels, the presence of almost "production" side mirrors, less relief "sides" of the body, a simplified design of the front struts and the presence simulation of the diffuser in the rear bumper.If we talk about numbers, the length of the four-seater coupe has reached 4490 mm, width 1890 mm, height 1620 mm, the size of the wheelbase was 2670 mm.Plant a story about the main driving force of the concept, it is worth mentioning that the XR-PHEV II, in addition to the classic internal combustion engine was a 163-horsepower electric motor + set of lithium-ion battery capacity of 12 kWh. We also know that the "second version" of the future ASX has a system of switching between a fully electric, serial or parallel hybrid modes.For example, when a conventional engine acts as a generator, recharging the battery, or so, when the engine "connected" to the drive wheels, and electric motors "help" him when absolutely necessary. By the way, these modes can change the "free" (automatic), depending on your driving style.

First Look: 2016 Acura NSX...

The new Acura NSX isn't a "numbers" car. Yet. That is to say, at this point we don't have many numbers for it. We know it will have six cylinders arranged longitudinally in a V configuration, two turbochargers, three electric motors (two front, one rear), four driven wheels, and nine forward gears in its dual-clutch transmission, but even now, as the near-production version of the car sits in front of us on a clinically clean white floor somewhere in Honda's Southern California R&D facility, there's much we don't know. Engine displacement, horsepower (said to be north of 550 hp), torque, curb weight, and performance figures are undisclosed, even as the car's lead engineer, the affable Ted Klaus, stands next to it, beaming. "Wait until you drive it," Klaus says. "We'll tell you everything then."

We're told the first media drives will be in July, and that's really not too much of a wait, especially considering we've been waiting nearly a decade since the original NSX left the market at the end of 2005. But now that we've seen the second coming of Acura's NSX in all of its composite and aluminum glory close enough to touch -- we've failed to resist that urge several times now -- to say we can't wait is like saying Formula 1 cars are fast. True, but oh, such an understatement. As sexy as the new NSX looks in this article, believe us when we say it's even better in real life. The road to this point has been a rocky one, filled with fits and starts, hopes and disappointments. When Klaus was assigned the NSX project several years ago, there had already been ideas on what a new NSX could look like. Klaus' first step was to do some research and meet the chief engineer on the original NSX project, Shigeru Uehara. "We met with the original NSX team and just discussed how that project really represented Acura's formative DNA," Klaus says. "We talked a lot about making a vehicle that really respects the driver. Acura was a brand that was formed on the value of making performance accessible to the driver."

2015 New BMW i8 Coupe (UK-Version).

 2015 New BMW i8 Coupe (UK-Version).
 The BMW i8 has its own version of the LifeDrive architecture developed for BMW i that gives it a unique range of tools for combining intelligent lightweight design and safety – to the highest standard in each case. The horizontally split LifeDrive architecture consists of two separate, independent modules. The combustion engine and electric motor, battery pack, power electronics, chassis components, and structure and crash functions are arranged together in the aluminium Drive module, while the central element of the Life module is the 2+2-seater’s CFRP passenger cell. The vehicle structure and materials employed in the i8 represent a pioneering example of automotive construction and reinforce the position of the BMW i8 as the most progressive model in the sports car segment.

Visible efficiency with aerodynamic optimisation on a detailed level. The design of the BMW i8 brings together hallmark BMW dynamics, lightweight design and efficiency. The 2+2-seater is immediately recognisable as a BMW i model and a new-generation sports car. A length of 4,689mm, width of 1,942mm and height of 1,298mm give the BMW i8 typical sports car proportions. Its dynamic character is also reflected in its long bonnet, clearly visible aerodynamic aids, stretched roofline, short overhangs and long, 2,800mm, wheelbase. The car’s wide track (1,644 millimetres at the front axle, 1,715 millimetres at the rear) completes the powerful dynamic presence generated by the car’s proportions.

 The BMW i8 boasts a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.26 and a fine aerodynamic balance. The low-slung bonnet, partially closed kidney grille, Aero Curtains in the front spoiler, sealed underbody, contoured side skirts, and the air ducts between the rear lights and roof frame allow the air to be channelled extremely effectively as it hits the car.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review...

 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review...

The 2015 Corvette Z06 features a carbon-fiber hood and, for the first time ever, a removable carbon-fiber roof panel. The use of carbon fiber strips away weight, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity and maintaining optimal weight distribution for precise handling.

The 2015 Corvette Z06 is powered by an LT4 supercharged 6.2L aluminum V8 engine delivering 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine incorporates a more efficient, more compact next-generation supercharger, as well as a dry-sump oil system, lightweight titanium intake valves and connecting rods for reduced reciprocating mass. And while advanced engine technologies enable supercar performance, Corvette engineers have managed to increase LT4 fuel efficiency by leveraging the same trio of advanced technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray powertrain: Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management™ and Continuously Variable Valve Timing.

 The 2015 Corvette Z06 is the only supercar that delivers 650 horsepower and offers the choice of a 7-speed manual or an all-new available track-certified 8-speed paddle-shift automatic. The standard 7-speed with Active Rev Matching enhances the driving experience by simulating heel-toe shifting perfection at the touch of a switch. The available 8-speed paddle-shift offers the smooth control of a true automatic but with quick, precise shifts and manual mode for track driving. The 8-speed automatic delivers performance on par with dual-clutch designs, but without sacrificing performance.

 The turn of a dial changes everything. With the Driver Mode Selector, you can fine-tune your driving experience with five distinct, selectable driver modes: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. Each mode electronically calibrates up to 12 performance variables to customize and optimize the Corvette Z06 supercar for any road.

 Standard on Z06, eLSD makes the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. The system, which becomes more aggressive in Sport and Track modes, is designed to improve stability and responsiveness. eLSD also features a hydraulically actuated clutch that can infinitely vary clutch engagement and respond from open to full engagement in mere tenths of a second in order to improve steering feel, handling balance and traction.

 Inside, the Corvette Z06 is distinguished from the Stingray with unique color schemes that emphasize the driver-focused cockpit, as well as a unique, flat-bottom steering wheel. Like the Stingray, the Z06 offers two seating choices: a GT seat for all-around support and comfort, and a Competition Sport seat with more aggressive side bolstering, which provides greater support on the track. The frame structure for both seats is made of magnesium, for greater strength and less weight than comparable steel frames. They’re also more rigid, contributing to the enhanced feeling of support during performance driving. And all models feature a fully wrapped interior, with every surface covered with premium, soft-touch materials, including available Napa leather, aluminum, carbon fiber and sueded microfiber.

 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray review...

One of the best sports car for everyday driving. The new destroyer street tranquility. Powerful, stylish and elegant. Your attention is admirable public Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
The fifth generation of the legendary supercar appeared before us. Seductive looks, amazing features of the body and a powerful roar of the engine - all this awaits us in this car.
 The front part of the machine is represented by a neat grille, which is bisected by a strip of aluminum. Slightly above a pair of angular headlights that dazzle the eye with their beauty. Need to focus on muscular wave hood and a hole for ventilation, located in the middle. It creates the feeling that the Chevrolet Corvette is closely monitoring everything happening around him menacingly "smiling".
 Behind the sports car got new, square-shaped headlights. The main highlight of the back of the quartet performs a 4-EX pipes exhaust system. In addition, the car received a new spoiler on the trunk door. RV Chevrolet Corvette Stingray flaunt a 20-inch rear and 19-inch wheels in front, "dressed" in the wheel tires from Michelin Pilot Super Sport. The company's engineers were able to achieve an ideal weight ratio of 50/50, which serves another positive point for the car.

 Interior view of the car received excellent. Now this is a luxury saloon, luxury sports coupe, without any details, reminiscent of the terrible "decoration" of the previous models. Luxury red leather armchairs, with a reliable lateral support, insertion of carbon fiber on the front of the console, deeply "drowned" in the console LCD - monitor, and a wide variety of functions. Another, a second LCD screen located on the console front of the driver. It displays all the important notices as may be required by a driver while driving. All these little things create a very good impression.
  
But most of all demands admiration "beast", hidden under the hood muscular. This "diamond" with a capacity of 455 hp and maximum torque of 610 NM torsion and a volume of 6.2 liters. Corvette is necessary to spend a little less than 4 seconds to get up to speed 100 km / h, and the peak speed recorded for this car is 315 km / h. Two transmissions are available to choose from: 7 - speed manual and 6 - speed automatic.

Responsible for the safety of major carbon - ceramic brakes, which are also fully functional even when they are overheated. By paying an additional $ 2,800, it will be possible to establish a set of Z51, which significantly increases the stiffness of the suspension, provides a reduction gear ratios, dry sump, increases brake discs, includes the installation of 19-and 20-inch wheels and a lot of other "sweets". For such a value you will not find these supplements among other sports cars.

Technical characteristics:

     Engine: 6200 cc V8
     Power: 455 hp
     Transmission: 7-speed manual gearbox
     Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h: 3.9 seconds.
     Maximum speed: 317 km / h
