Lamborghini The sixth element

Lamborghini

The next evolution for Lamborghini may well be inspired by the Sesto Elemento, an extremely lightweight technology demonstrator weighing just 999kg (2,202 lb), including a four-wheel-drive system
and a 570bhp V10. As Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, stated at its reveal: “We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento.” The concept goes a step beyond the Aventador. It is not just the monocoque that is made from CFRP, but also the entire front frame, the exterior panels, and crash boxes, as well as the major suspension components, wheels, and even the driveshaft. The tailpipes are made from Pyrosic, which is an advanced glass-ceramic matrix composite that is able to reach and stand temperatures up to 900°C. Remarkably, the monocoque is made in a single process using forged composite technology, the fi rst automotive application of this technology. The result is a power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75kg per
hp, 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds, and a top speed “well over 300km/h”. More importantly, the light weight sharpens handling, turn-in, and braking.

The BMW E36

The BMW E36 is the third generation of the 3 Series compact executive cars produced by BMW. Development began in July 1981, with design being frozen in 1988. It was introduced in late 1990 (as a 1991 model[citation needed]) for Europe and in April 1991 (as a 1992 model) for US and Canada. It was the successor to the E30 3 Series and was eventually replaced by the E46 3 Series in 1998, though E36 coupes were still produced for the 1999 model year.

The E36 experienced enormous success in the market. It laid strong foundations for the success that the BMW E46 enjoyed in subsequent years. Also known as the "dolphin shape", the E36 was sold from 1991 through 1999. All E36 saloons, coupes, and estates employed the "Z-axle" multilink suspension in the rear which had been proven in the Z1. The hatchback body style, known as the E36/5 or BMW Compact, was identical to the regular E36 from front bumper to A-pillar.

The New Toyota Supra picture

 Toyota started the Supra project back in the days when it was still  testing the ground to see if it could sell Luxury vehicles in the US, of  course, now that Lexus is dominating the luxury segment in the states  (and not doing too badly here either), the answer was an obvious yes.

However a few years ago Toyota went a little crazy, they decided that  they no longer needed proper sports cars, they dumped the MR2 (After  they turned it into the revolting male hairdresser car, which  was its last incarnation), they dumped the Celica (having already dumped  the GT4 version of the celicas some time ago) and they had already  given up on the Supra back in 2002.
So whilst I say toyota gave up on sports cars, they of course had the  Lexus IS series, but since Toyota wants to stay very separate to Lexus,  there is no point in counting the IS series as part of Toyota’s sports  line up. Hence began the era of “Sportivo” the horrible name  associated with front-wheel-drive vehicles that were nothing more than a  last minute decision to add some “sportyness” to the brand.
Of course for those who bought the likes of Camry/Corollo Sportivos,  the sheer shame of driving a car named sportivo should have been enough  disappointment, but Toyota has gotten away with having no real sports  car for a very long time!
So enough about Toyota’s mistakes, lets just take a few minutes and admire this car:

Nissan Juke R the fastest crossover in the world

It is the fastest "crossover" in the world. Sprint 0-100 km / h the 3 "7.



How to define it, the Juke-R prepared by Nissan Europe? A joke? A tutorial? A bet? A challenge? Already, a challenge: that of creating the worlds fastest crossover. And here they are, the Juke-R performance: top speed 257 km / h, acceleration or 100 km / h in 3 "7. Gran turismo racing stuff.

To achieve the Juke-R has thought a company specializing in high-level motor racing: the English Ray Mallock, who prepares, but rather builds, and supports the successful sedan Chevrolet Cruze Official Team Championship World Tourism .

For the Juke-R, Mallock engineers and those of Nissan Europe have used the 3.8 liter V6 twin turbo engine from 485 horsepower in the coupe GT-R, provided a special "roll-bar", which in addition to the natural functions of ensuring the safety pilot is actually a second chassis, suspension and mounted the entire gearbox-transmission GT-R, lightened as I could get to a weight of 1800 kg, and widened body to accommodate the large 20-inch wheels. They then developed the aerodynamic configuration.

The preparation and assembly of the Juke-R has involved four months of work. So the tests in England, on circuto Silverstone. And the record-breaking performance.

Dolphin The Bigger Nano

After the launch of Nano Eco model, Tata is going to launch a slightly bigger model codenamed Dolphin. From the rumors we can expect that the car will be available in mid 2011.

New car is positioning between the Nano and Indica Vista at a price tag of Rs 3 Lakh. The bigger Nano is believed to be powered by an 800 cc to 1 litre engine.

The compact segment is one place where Tata Motors had not made its presence felt. Now, with the launch of the new car it will excel in that segment too. This new compact car has a big role to play for Tata India as, compact segment is one place where Tata Motors had not made its presence felt.

Compact car will get more rural customers who want cars which are durable, long lasting and have a lower cost of operation. Tatas engineers have to work hard to make this a success as car like Nano and vista fail to make a huge impact.

Audi A3 Easily Outsells Mercedes Benz CLA In The United States

Theres little argument that the CLA has been and will be a relative global success for Mercedes-Benz, but U.S. sales declined (on a month-to-month basis) in November 2013 and the seven subsequent months, rising only slightly to 1658 in June 2014.

• 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Driven Review
• June 2014 U.S. Luxury Car Sales Results
• All Autos Ranked By June 2014 YTD U.S. Sales

---

4895 CLAs were sold in October 2013, its first full month of availability, thanks to some pent-up demand. But as the Q2 results in this chart show, the CLA took another hit when the Audi A3 became readily available; when the BMW 2-Series became more common, as well. (All inventory results in the third tab come from Cars.com.)

---

---

The CLA has also enjoyed favourable timing in Mercedes-Benzs own U.S. showrooms, thanks to the demise of the current C-Class. Yet soon, Mercedes-Benz clientele may look on the C-Class in an altogether more favourable light. 

The W205 C-Class is a stunner: less divisive than the CLA, but distinctly more upscale. Sure, its more expensive. But its not as though thousands of CLA buyers were actually spending $29,900 on a CLA250 in the first place.

As for the A3, not only are sales relatively high at the moment, but Audi USA actually has A3s to sell. CLA availability is rather limited. The BMW 2-Series, with its limiting coupe-only bodystyle, is not going to be as common a car on dealer lots or in customer driveways. Even as an S3, the entry-level Audi does not become a CLA45 AMG fighter, but that has little impact on the cars overall success. 

The A3 looks like a proper Audi. Proper Audis have perhaps become too conservatively styled, and Audi isnt stepping outside the box as often as Id like, but that doesnt mean they arent handsome. (Aston Martins all look the same, too, and theyve looked the same for some time, but theyre still beautiful.)

As for Acura, theyve sold 8357 ILX sedans so far this year, a 22% year-over-year decline. Lexus CT200h sales have risen 10% to 8337 through the first six months of 2014. Buick has sold 22,090 Veranos, a 6% drop, although its worth pointing out that the base price of the A3 and CLA is 26% higher than the base price of the Buick.
