Lamborghini Madura Student Design Project

December 10, 2009 By: admin Category: Lamborghini

Lamborghini Madura

Slavche Tanevsky, a student at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, has created this futuristic Lamborghini design concept.

Dubbed the Madura (named after an Indonesian island famous for bull races), the concept was created – in collaboration with Lamborghini and Audi designers – for Lamborghini’s Raw Materials Project.


According to Tanevsky, “The Madura is a proposal for the first hybrid Lamborghini scheduled for 2016. Doing a car more efficient and more nature-friendly, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exciting, good-looking and fast. (But) in my opinion this new propulsion system should be represented on the looks of the car.” (more…)

Rolls-Royce Ghost (2009) CAR review

Rolls-Royce Ghost (2009) CAR review

"rolls-royce-ghost-2009-car-review"

This is the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, a £192k British-built luxury limo. Find the majestic Rolls-Royce Phantom a bit gauche? Some potential owners do, says Rolls, so the smaller, more demure and slightly more affordable Ghost is the answer. Read on for CAR’s verdict on the new Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Demure? Surely the whole point of having a Rolls is to make a statement.
We’d have thought so too, but some potential buyers wanted all of the luxury of the Phantom in a package that they could leave on a parking meter without attracting undue attention. The more restrained presence and £192,500 list price (£80k less than the Phantom) means 80 percent of Ghost buyers will be new to the brand. And over half of those are likely to come from Bentley, not something the Crewe concern will be happy to hear.

So Rolls just chopped a chunk out of the wheelbase and made the grille smaller?
No, this is an all-new car. Well, all-new if you discount the BMW 7-series with which the Ghost shares some mechanical components. The Phantom is constructed around an aluminium spaceframe but the Ghost’s chassis is a steel unibody. Aluminium chassis are chunky affairs so sticking with steel allowed Rolls to endow the Ghost with interior space not far short of the Phantom while keeping the footprint much smaller. The 5399mm Ghost is 435mm shorter, 42mm narrower and 82mm shorter than a Phantom with the standard wheelbase.

So it’s just a 760i in a posh dress?
No, it’s a very different car with its own personality. And this one actually rides well. But if you examined their DNA, you’d see similarities. The supercharged V12 for instance, is a 6.6-litre version of the 6.0 motor in the 760i and backed up by the same eight-speed automatic gearbox. Power climbs from 537bhp in the BMW to 563bhp, and torque from 553lb ft to 570lb ft. The Phantom carries on with its own different (and much less powerful) V12.

Review Mercedes S400 Hybrid (2009)

December 05, 2009 By: admin Category: Uncategorized

Mercedes S400 hybrid

Mercedes S400 hybrid Mercedes S400 hybrid Mercedes S400 hybrid Mercedes S400 hybrid

Mercedes consistently strives for its S-class to be at the abstruse acid edge, so it charge accept been appealing afflicted back Lexus exhausted it to bazaar with its S-rivalling, hybrid-powered LS600h. This, then, is Mercedes’ riposte: the S400 Hybrid.

Brilliant, an S-class hybrid! Back do I get mine?

How much? £76,750
On sale in the UK: In the UK never
Engine: 3498cc V6 24v, 295bhp, 284lb ft
Transmission: Seven-speed auto, rear-wheel drive
Performance: 7.2sec 0-62mph, 155mph, 35.8mpg, 186g/km
How heavy / made of? 2030kg/steel
How big (length/width/height in mm)? 5076/1871/1473

Ah. Yes. Thing is, you won’t, not unless you beacon from the left. The Germans won’t advance in right-hand drive production, pointing out that 80% of Brits will booty the 350 CDI, while the Japanese generally adjustment S-classes in left-hand drive anyhow because, for some reason, abounding see it as added prestigious. As for the poor Australasians and South Africans – well, they weren’t alike mentioned.

Whatever the story, I’d say we’re actuality short-changed, and that the 80% of Brit agent buyers would be appropriately – if not added good – served by the S400 hybrid. Seeing as I’ve been article of a amalgam carper in the past, that’s adage something.

Calm down, calm down… Give me the tech story, first

The fresh Merc S400 Amalgam uses the 3.5-litre V6 petrol that’s accustomed from the C-, E- and S-class 350s. The units aren’t beeline swaps, however, the 400 accepting revised butt heads, pistons, camshafts and added as able-bodied as the amalgam gubbins.

The seven-speed auto gearbox is the aforementioned one acclimated throughout the range, but the lithium-ion amalgam assemblage is neatly chip with it. It’s a almost bunched accession that’s advised to aftermost the activity of the car, but it does add 75kg over the non-hybrid petrol.

However, application goes up, the amalgam abacus a 20bhp hit to the 275bhp engine, and confined up an absorbing 118lb ft from standstill. That helps action the weight gain, additional lower C02 emissions by 21% compared with the approved petrol S350 – and it bear 8mpg more.

Best of all, the mpg and C02 analyze actual favourably with the diesel, the amalgam axis in 35.8mpg to the diesel’s 37.2mpg and churning out aloof 186g/km against the diesel’s 199g/km. And that, credibility out Mercedes, is cleaner and added frugal than the big – and, don’t forget, added powerful, larger-lunged – Lexus.
