Audi Reveals New A8 Hybrid with 2.0-liter Four-Pot, Sales Start in 2012

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:21:22 +0000

Gradually, Audi is beginning to penetrate the world of hybrid models. And in this case is not a hybrid either. It is a hybrid compact-Tron as A1 and about which I speak, or futuristic and modern model designed for the city, the Urban Concept Audi. In this case, Audi is serious with its new hybrid sedan, we are referring, of course, the Audi A8 Hybrid. A model that we see in the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and will enter production in 2012.

A model that will have the power of a six-cylinder model, but it actually has an electric motor with a four. Specifically, a four-cylinder 2.0-liter TFSI plus an electric motor, and jointly develop about 245 hp and 480 Nm of torque. All this, with an average fuel consumption of nearly 6.4 l/100km, which is fine for a model as big and heavy as the A8. And with CO2 emissions at about 148 g / km.
As for the 2.0 TFSI engine, generates 211 hp and 350 Nm of torque between 1,500 and placed 4,200 rpm, and the electric motor develops an output of around 54 hp and 210 Nm of torque. Other fun facts reveal that this sedan can reach speeds exceeding 100 km / h, only the electric motor, with a range of two miles, going at a constant speed of 60 km / h.
More specifically, the electric motor is located in the space they are usually occupy the torque converter, just opposite the modified gearbox type 8-speed Tiptronic. Also, I must say that this is a Quattro all-wheel drive model, so this hybrid transmission, will also direct torque to the front wheels. For all the foregoing, the Audi A8 Hybrid can reach 100 km / h in around 7.7 seconds with a top speed of 235 km / h. Although these performance data are provisional.
As for lithium ion batteries, weighs about 36.7 pounds net, and is located in the trunk, giving a nominal 1.3 kWh of energy and over 40 kW (the 52 hp). To cool these batteries, using two different methods: with air flows from the passenger compartment, and through a separate cooling circuit. However, both the electric motor and electronic components are cooled by water.

Aesthetically, the Audi A8 Hybrid receives small subtle changes. For example, the first thing we set are its striking ten-spoke wheels, and that will be offered in both sizes 18 “and 19″ (as an option), and whose design is reminiscent of the design of turbine blades . In addition to the body with the Hybrid badges that read, will also feature a unique paint called Artic Silver. Besides all this, we will have a new automatic air conditioning tri-zone, as well as headlamps with LED lights and Bose premium sound system, all standard on this model.

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:31:16 +0000

The new 200 Convertible is free in three lean levels (Touring, Limited and S), two engine choices benefit a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6, plus the choice of a traditional delicate top or a retractable metal hard top.

The variety begins with the statement-quantity Touring fashion powered by a 173HP 2.4-liter four-banger matched to a six-quickness usual transmission, which is priced at $27,195 counting a $750 destination fee. That brings the 200 Convertible in the same value choice as Ford’s 305HP Mustang Convertible V6, which starts at $27,495 (with destination and a $500 currency back).

Standard skin on the Touring genre contain a cloth subtle-top, leather-wrapped steering swing with integrated wheel for audio and hurry force; leather-wrapped shifter bulge; air conditioning; MP3 radio with six speakers; front and face air-bags, electronic stability monitor with brake help and footing running; mandatory headlamps with LED light duct accents; LED taillamps; power windows and mane; isolated keyless and 17-creep alloy wheels.

Next up is the 200 Limited that is powered by the 283HP-solid 3.6-liter Pentastar engine mated to a six-hustle certain transmission. It has a starting MSRP of $31,990 including a $750 destination fee.

On top of the level skin of the Touring, the Limited adds leather heated front seats; secluded boon; Media Center 730 touchscreen with 30 gigabyte HDD/CD/DVD/MP3 radio; Uconnect handsfree handset with Bluetooth; USB docks for iPod/MP3 connectivity; electrochromatic rearview mirror; general garage door starter; fog lamps; outdoor chrome niceties and 18-creep alloy rims.

Volkswagen Passat in U.S. market 2012

admin — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 01:46:30 +0000

One of the most highly expected world premieres of the 2011 NAIAS, the new U.S. market 2012 Volkswagen Passat, turned out to be one of the less exciting -at least in terms of design introductions of the show. The US-built replacement for the European-sourced Passat literally looks like an extra-large Jetta, which drew its own share of criticism for its uninspired and generic looks. For comparison, we’ve added a few shots of the Jetta after the jump.

While the design may not be engaging, the car’s lower sticker prices will certainly attract more buyers as the new Passat will start from around $20,000 or some $7,000 to $8,000 less than the 2011MY it replaces.

However, keep in mind that while the base 2011 Passat was offered with a modern 200HP 2.0 TFSI, the entry-level 2012MY Passat will come with VW’s old 2.5-liter five-cylinder unit rated at 170HP.

Other engine options for U.S. buyers include a more frugal 140HP 2.0-liter turbo diesel that returns up to 43mpg, and a range topping 3.6-liter VR6 with 280HP and a 0-60mph sprint time of 6.5 seconds.

Volkswagen will manufacture the 2012 Passat at its new $1 billion Chattanooga factory in Tennessee, the automaker’s first U.S. assembly plant since it shut down its Pennsylvania plant in 1988. The mid-size saloon will go on sale in the States in mid-August.

New 2010 Hyundai ix35 – Tucson: Frankfurt Motor Show

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:27:53 +0000

This is Hyundai’s all-new second generation Tucson that will be officially revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. As we’ve already told you, Hyundai’s new compact crossover has been renamed to ix35 for the European market and Tucson ix for South Korea. We’re still not sure what the North American market model will be called, but U.S. buyers should expect to see the Tucson’s replacement making its first public outing at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

The new ix35 carries over much of the ‘swoopy’ styling of the 2009 Geneva Salon ix-onic concept study and overall, it’s a step forward in terms of design from the current generation model. The Korean automaker said that the design cues seen on ix35 including the pronounced hexagonal grille and the dramatic front-end styling will used on future Hyundai models.

Even though Hyundai only published a single image of the ix35 (above), we found a complete gallery of the Korean-spec model that you can check out below. The cosmetic differences between the two models are limited to the body trim, the shape of the front fog lights and housings, the headlamp crystals and the absence of turning signals on the exterior mirrors on the ix35 (they’ll make their way on the 2013MY facelift model…).

Although no details were released on the powertrain options for the ix35 that will be built at sister company Kia’s Zilina plant in Slovakia, Hyundai said that the new model will deliver “markedly better” fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions than rival SUVs and compete head on in terms of running costs with mainstream hatchbacks.

At launch, the KDM Tucson ix will be available with a choice of a 2.0-liter diesel or gasoline engines producing 184 horsepower and 166 horsepower respectively. Buyers will be able to opt between six-speed manual and automatic transmissions as well as front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions.

It is expected that the European-spec model will at some point be offered with a new 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing around 170 horsepower.

More detailed information about the ix35 will be released at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
