Mercedes-Benz has created an organic version of G-Klasse, called E350 BlueTEC. The developing 210 hp and 540 Nm while comply with the Euro 5 thanks BlueTEC and AdBlue liquid. Mercedes-Benz has developed a low emission version of G-Klasse, which uses technology BlueTEC. This technology is developed specifically to reduce emissions from a diesel, especially emissions of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). The BlueTEC uses AdBlue liquid, which is a solution of urea, injected into the exhaust. The process of injection of urea into the exhaust system produces ammonia, which converts about 80% of emissions of nitrogen oxides in nitrogen and water. The entire process takes place in particular SCR catalytic converter. The Mercedes-Benz decided to introduce this technology for a vehicle that can access more remote areas of the world and the only change compared to other models using BlueTEC was moving AdBlue tank filler cap in the same place where lies and cover tank of diesel. A full tank of AdBlue is enough for about 12,000 km. Mercedes BlueTEC is equipped with a G350 CDI V6 engine offers 210 hp at 3400 rpm and maximum torque of 540 Nm between 1600 and 2400 rpm. The issuing an extremely low value of NOx, 50% less than the standard version of G350 CDI, observing with flying colors while the Euro 5 offers the same performance level. The benefits and the 7G-Tronic transmission with seven gears and ETS and ESP systems. ...

Hardly any other game series has seen so many ups and downs like Need for Speed. Grandiose beginnings, repeatedly dips, some design changes, and now and then reboots and successes. Experiments, such as the somewhat mixed picture ProStreet went pretty much in the pants and the latest offshoot called Undercover was more underground. EA has responded and pressurize the latest part of an external studio: Slightly Mad. Tells a little at first, but behind Exmit employees by Blimey and SimBin to put who worked on titles such as GTR and GT Legends. Which naturally raises the expectations, but also the confusion in what direction the series is now like. The heart of Need for Speed: Shift is the career mode, where you have to hold you once more as a young driver to make the final in the big leagues, named NfS World Tour ride. In the first race at the wheel of a car is used to determine which settings are for you, for now the right ones. Of course, things like driving aids and AI difficulty can be changed at any time later. As a prelude to the values obtained are, however, good use – and waiting for your first race. Depending on your position you will receive your prize money, from whom you concerned about a first vehicle. Of course, standing in this first stage, only relatively tame little cart on the program. It was not until the later stages it will get access to the really fast racer. The entire line-up offers just over 50 vehicles in which you can gradually move away place. It starts with a la cart slack Audi S3, BMW 135i, Mazda RX-8 or Seat Leon Cupra. At the end of her...

Fiat displays at the Geneva Motor Show 2010 (4th is until 14 March) for the first time from autumn 2010, first offered exclusively in the Fiat 500 Twin-air engine, the harbinger of a new engine series. The equipped with a turbocharged two-cylinder gasoline engine making 63 kW and will emit less than 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer. Developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT), twin-cylinder gasoline engine with turbocharger has the Multiair technology, in which the intake camshaft is replaced by an electrohydraulic system. Thus, a fully variable, the respective loading condition of the engine allows optimally adapted valve timing. The twin-Series Twin-Air, which will be the medium with outputs between 48 kW and 77 kW are available, waiting with up to 30% less consumption than a comparable four-cylinder. For the future, offered in the Fiat 500 variant, which develops 63 kW engine capacity of 900 cubic centimeters, Fiat expects to CO2 emissions of 95  g/km. An even more significant reduction in emissions (minus ten percent) will be achieved by future natural gas version of this engine. The compact design of the new-cylinder, turns out the 23 percent shorter and ten percent lighter than a comparable four-cylinder, also enables the combination of alternative propulsion technologies. Thus, according to the Italian car manufacturer, the coupling with an electric motor or a system for recovering energy during braking, compared to a four-cylinder natural space requirements represented.

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport is a violent, taunting, confounding and punctiliously engineered maelstrom. It is a handmade wonder built in a castle, and yet resembles a slightly squashed jelly bean. It has a $30,000 stereo, but it’s too much work to actually listen to it. The 16-cylinder, quad-turbocharged engine with 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb-ft of torque is programmed not to let you damage it, but in just one afternoon, the leather-trimmed coachwork on the doors will be a mess of shoe marks. The car’s brake rotors are chaperoned by 28 brake pistons, but using them forcefully is like begging someone to plow into the aforementioned engine. The car will cost you €1.6 million (roughly $2.24M USD), for which you get, as a soft top, an umbrella. That’s right, an umbrella. Own it and you’ll be master of the quickest accelerating production car in the world, and yet you’ll probably never remember what that acceleration is like. When we drove the Veyron coupe, we admitted to not being carried away by its looks, but we found a greater appreciation for the lines of this car. Excising a portion of the roof doesn’t change our minds, but that isn’t to say that the design doesn’t look good. More importantly, that isn’t to say that the Bugatti doesn’t have a certain… something… that will impress itself upon you even after just one meeting. From the side, although the car’s surfaces are austere, how they intersect in three dimensions is rather lively. Our favorite line is from the rear three-quarter, the...

A larger double-row intercooler to the compressor has 40% more cooling capacity – even with prolonged exposure. Collaboration with Goodyear.
