Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package PlusMercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus Super Sports Car The New engine management completes a powertrain measures.
Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus brings both performance and visual enhancements for both the saloon and estate models. The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus offer a power increase of 22 kW/30 hp.
The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus is powered by the same 6.2-liter V8 that now develops 487 hp at 6800 rpm and 600 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm. The extra horses under the hood of the Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus translate into a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.4 seconds, with the same limited top speed of 250 km/h. The 0 to 200 km/h acceleration time drops to 13.9 seconds which is 1.2 seconds less than the standard C63 AMG.
Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus also includes high-performance braking system with composite technology on the front axle and a carbon fiber spoiler lip for the sedan. For the interior, the Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus offers a performance steering wheel and in nappa leather/Alcantara.With the Performance Package Plus, the Mercedes C63 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 13.9 seconds. This beats the 336 kW/457 hp standard model by up to 1.2 seconds (0–100 km/h: 4.5 seconds; 0–200 km/h: 15.2 seconds). The top speed is 250 km/h (electronically limited). The improvement in power output to 358 kW/487 hp is due to the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine's modified engine compartment: the forged pistons adopted from the new SLS AMG super sports car together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft translate into a weight saving of three kilograms.

Reduced inertia boosts the agility and responsiveness of the uprated V8 engine, which is recognisable from the variable intake manifold painted in titanium grey. New engine management completes the powertrain measures in the Performance Package Plus for the Mercedes C63 AMG.
Enhanced driving dynamics ex factory for the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG: the new Performance Package Plus is an attractive optional extra that is designed to appeal to the power-hungry sports driver. The Performance Package Plus increases output by 22 kW/30 hp to 358 kW/487 hp. As a result, the C-Class approaches the level of performance offered by C-Class DTM vehicles, which deliver 377 kW/500 hp. The Performance Package Plus is available for the saloon and estate models and includes an AMG high-performance braking system featuring technology on the front axle, a carbon fiber spoiler lip (saloon) and an AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/Alcantara.
The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus price is €7080.50 for the sedan model and €6426 for the estate.
Transformers 3 had already gone into pre-production. Michael Bay has been indeed convinced to deliver the movie on July 1, 2011. Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox are of course reprising their roles as Sam and Mikaela respectively, but according to the rumor, Michael Bay would like to get rid of Megan Fox in this new Transformers sequel.
Now here, a few words from Michael Bay himself about Transformers 3, it comes from a secret video available on the Blu-ray of Transformers ROTF:
As usual Michael Bay wants is teasing the fans claiming he's telling lies. But that Transformers 3 will show more of Bumblebee and that it will develop the robot characters generally sounds quite reliable to me! Ant that's fine with me as long as there is still as much action in Transformers 3 as there was in the previous movies.

Toyota Hybrid X concept car
Toyota will provide a vision for the future of hybrid cars when it unveils the Hybrid X concept car at this year’s Australian International Motor Show.
Hybrid X proposes a new design language for Toyota’s hybrid models while also acting as a technology showcase for future hybrid cars.
Created and developed by Toyota’s European styling centre ED² in the south of France, Hybrid X is a four-door, four-seat concept that is spacious and comfortable.It is a step closer to Toyota’s vision of the ultimate environmental driving technology.
Its design will influence the entire Toyota brand and its hybrid models in the future.A vision for future environmentally friendly motoring, the appearance of Hybrid X comes soon after Toyota announced it would build a hybrid Camry in Australia from 2010.
Hybrid X is the latest concept to demonstrate Toyota’s world-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive® technology, which is at the core of the company’s strategy to develop the ultimate eco-car.
The show car fits clearly within Toyota’s environmental strategy of offering sustainable mobility for modern families.
It has the dimensions of a conventional family car with an overall length of 4,500mm and wheelbase of 2,800mm. The width is 1,850mm and height 1,440mm.
It proposes unconventional creative solutions that will potentially become the signature points of a specific hybrid identity.
Hybrid X features a futuristic body shape that is dominated by two ‘U’ shapes created by the upper glass frame area and the unconventional A and C pillars.
Viewed from above, this gives the impression of a large X – hence the name of the concept, Hybrid X.
Dynamic hints of driving performance are provided by the customised 20-inch alloy wheels with ultra-low profile 225/40 R20 tyres.
LED headlamps are integrated into the dashboard and are now part of the interior of the car and can communicate information such as safety distances, acceleration and braking to other drivers and pedestrians.
The driver can set the ambience within the car, controlling sight, sound, touch and even smell.
A drive-by-wire steering pad features a central screen to relay information to the driver about the energy flow path, fuel consumption and gear position.
Space-saving seats are formed using injected foam techniques, which create comfort while reducing weight.
The two independent rear seats can swivel by 12 degrees to allow passengers to enjoy the scenery or conversation.

Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports Car (Sports Car and a Sedan)

Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports CarThe 2009 Nissan GT-R, the first Skyline GT-R model to be released in the United States, offers performance unlike any Nissan sports car in the history of the Japanese automaker. The "Skyline" moniker has officially been dropped, but the 2009 GT-R, which was delivered to its first US customers in July 2008,represents a new era for the Skyline GT-R, the most storied sports car in Japanese automotive history.
The Nissan Skyline R34 GTR came to life, the latest model, and the best GTR yet. Styling is superb with an all-new much more aggressive shape; it looks like a car to be reckoned with.The R34 GTR looks and feels like it got the best from both of the R32 and R33 models in one package.Concerning the design,it is to consider that the R34 GT-R is a pumped-up version of a family sedan, not a fashionable piece of automotive-design-art like ItalianClick for a larger R34 Nissan Skyline GTR picture supercars. On a GT-R, every scoop and bulge has its function intended to form a piece of technical art and to in crease its efficiency as a street rocket.
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports Car
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports CarThe interior of Nissan Skyline R34 GTR is simple, sporty, and luxurious, with plenty of head and leg room for taller drivers. Seats are comfy for long trips yet still hold you in when cornering hard. Center gauges have been replaced with a LCD screen. This shows loads of information like, throttle position, boost pressure, torque split, a built in G-meter, and it has a com-port so you can download your trips data onto a laptop.
This car is a technology showcase trying to make head-turning technology and performance available for everyday-use. And with all its gadgets, it offers a very involving driving experience, but at the same time fulfills the requirements of a daily commuter. The Skyline GT-R shines as a good compromisebetween a pure sports car and a sedan, almost as radical and edgy as the former and almost as useful as the latter.
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports Car
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports CarAnd it makes this compromise asconvincing as hardly any other car does.These refinements make driving the GTR a pleasure with every aspect improved. Steering is responsive and grip is phenomenal making Nissan Skyline R34 GTR a true cornering machine. Ride quality is on the firm side but harsh bumps are absorbed well, but this is asports car after all.
The RB26DETT engine still remains but again improvements where made and because of this the engine has become smoother and quieter. The torque curve hasimproved and remains flatter throughout the rev range, 400nm is achieved at 4,400rpm this has made the engine more flexible.
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports Car
..................Skyline R34 GTR Nissan Super Sports CarTurbo chargers where also revised featuring a dual ball bearing core which reduced lag and improved the power band. The gearbox was replaced by a 6-speedgetrag which features, shorter ratios, and a shorter throws. Acceleration times have improved, 0-100 is achieved in 4.9
seconds and the 400m sprint in completed in 12.9.

Namir Hybrid Eco-Powered Concept Cars The"fastest hybrid car in the world."814cc rotary engine 400V lithium polymer battery

Namir Hybrid Eco-Powered Concept CarsFrazer-Nash, it probably isn't in the context of modern drivetrain technology like hybrid systems. Nonetheless, the brand that was long ago a famous British car maker is still around, albeit no longer building cars. In fact, hybrid drive systems is exactly what Frazer Nash is developing today and the company has collaborated with Italdesign Giugiaro to create a concept called the Namir.Think "hybrid eco-powered car" and you think "Prius" right? Well you shouldn't. You should substitute the mental image of that conventional, if revolutionary auto for the Frazer-Nash Namir from Giugiaro for two reasons. Firstly because it's a whole league of flashiness above Toyota's vaguely bug-eyed design. And secondly because the Namir will top-out at 187 mph.
...................Namir Hybrid Eco-Powered Concept Cars
...................Namir Hybrid Eco-Powered Concept CarsThe Namir's was revealed to the public at the Geneva Motor Show, and it's laying claim to the title of "fastest hybrid car in the world." Glancing at the photos you may also think "the most orange-colored hybrid car in the world" would be a fitting title, but I think that the overall super-car-like design mostly excuses the paint work.
Those stats are staggering--they make it sound as if we should all be driving Namirs just for the sake of saving the planet. Such a shame that this machine will probably never make it past the concept phase. As Jalopnik puts it: "Odds Of Production: 99,999,000,000-to-1." Though even if it did surpass the "just a dream" stage and make it onto the roads, you can bet its price wouldn't look very different from that number.
Namir Hybrid Eco-Powered Concept Cars
Frazer Nash has developed a series hybrid drivetrain (like the Voltec drivetrain in the Chevy Volt) that uses an 814cc rotary engine driving a generator. The generator charges a 400V lithium polymer battery pack that feeds electrons to a pair of electric motors at each axle with a cumulative output of 362 hp. The system is claimed to give the Namir a top speed of 187 mph, 0-62 mph acceleration in 3.5 seconds while still managing 91.7 mpg (US)! Not too shabby.That acceleration is only just behind the fastest accelerating production car, the Bugatti Veyron, that manages 0-62 mph in 2.45 seconds...though it does so with a quad-turbocharged W16 gasoline engine.In contrast the Namir pushes out just 60kg/km of CO2, or around 60% of the latest road-legal hybrid cars, and manages a fuel efficiency of around 92 miles per U.S. gallon--which is about twice as efficient as driving a Prius. And with a full tank of gas it can go over 1,200 miles without a refill or recharge, and that's a far cry from the early days of hybrid gas-electric cars--incidentally a technology that's been 100 years in the making.

Aston Martin DB-ONE
Ruben Vela, based in Spain designer The Aston Martin DB-ONE concept,product of independent.
The DB-ONE concept is a proposal for an extreme Aston Martin, with classical proportions combined with ultramodern surfaces resulting in a fresh vehicle which also represents the traditions associated with Aston Martin.
In designing the Aston Martin DB-ONE Vela took the elements essential to Aston Martin, large front grille, long bonnet and side vents and created a car with an immense sense of movement, based around the idea of tension - beginning with the grille and moving back towards the rear of the car.

The body surfaces of the DB-ONE highlight all the power emanating from the proposed 550 horsepower, 6.0 litre, V12 engine even when static. "Cars aren't static objects, so I belive it's important to show dynamism in the design. And this is much more important when you are designing a super-sports car," says Vela.
The rear of the Aston Martin DB-ONE concept is extremely clean due to the small gap in the tail which hides the taillights and a rear diffuser provides a neat finish to the design.
Although the Aston Martin DB-ONE is an independent design created outside the company and exists only on a computer and as a scale model, Aston Martin's new owners, Prodrive, could certainly take note of a few styling ideas introduced by Vela on the DB-ONE concept.
