2008 GMC Denali XT Concept

GMC DENALI XT CONCEPT

This pick-up GMC proves that big, tough, American cars do not always need to consume lots of gasoline. This concept is in fact equipped with flex-fuel system allowing a normal petrol and ethanol. It saves you quite in the slurptax . However, the Denali is no shortage of power.

The Denali XT will make its debut at the Chicago Auto Show, which begins next week. The engine is still a major U.S. 4.9 liter V8 with 326 hp. This block is more economical efficiency through the ability to injection, and a number of cylinders to switch off. Also the V8 lust ethanol and to finish it off, he is further coupled to an electric motor that takes over at low speeds. If you add everything up, the engine consumes 50% less fuel than a conventional system. Who tips Shaquille ONeal ?

Another novelty is a unibody meaning that the Denali XT a whole and not a separate chassis with a body up there. This is the pickup lighter and stiffer and he must be in accordance with GMC sporty driving. GMC probably means something else in sports than we do because the latter dare I doubt it.

The design is round but muscular with wide wheel arches, a large grill and 23-inch wheels who are not bad.

2008 KTM X Bow

KTM X-BOW

The standard KTM X-Bow with 220 hp and a weight of 700 kilos of course not all needy. But tunert MTM believes that they have more power from the 2.0 TFSI can fiddle block. And so they are fast becoming the X-Bow with less than 380 hp to deliver!

Much time will this development not going to cost I think. Because the block from the X-Bow is also used by Audi and Volkswagen. And for those brands as the MTM S3 with 380 hp and the Scirocco with 380 hp developed. Since the kit is still in development has not yet define MTM tive performance, but 380 hp and 700 pounds sounds like music to my ears!

Incidentally, KTM would have to work to develop an X-Bow R with 280 hp . But that seems quite unnecessary if MTM is already there ;)

When more is known of course that you hear. Until that time we have to do with these teasers.
