The amazing Nissan GT-R with 1000 Hp power

Amazing. Maybe the word is appropriate if addressed to the Nissan GT-R. Thanks to the body kit and cold hands BenSopra, a Japanese tuner, power Nissan GT-R is increased very dramatically.

Not explain what tools are pinned on the Japanese sports car. As reported by Worldcarfans, BenSopra claims this engine is capable of generating power up to 1000 hp.

The new BenSopra will reveal what it has adopted this car to be able to generate power at twice the standard engine that is the GT-R V6 Twin-turbo 3.8-liter.

Display the GT-R body kit thanks to increasingly fierce sticking in him. Call it the front and rear spoilers, hood, side skirts, rear wing up. JDM style (Japannese Domestic Market) is getting stronger with patches stickers that adorn the side of the body. Display more stable thanks to the rim looks berkelir black bars wrapped in Yokohama tires.

The plan of this car will be displayed at Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 which took place in January. The official site mentioned BenSopra this car will be sold.

Juke-R, the new crossover from Nissan

Nissan has an extreme variant of their new crossover dubbed the Juke-R. Having previously only reveal itself through the video, now the original form of the Juke-R actually perform in front of journalists in Malaga, Spain.

Juke-R is much different from the standard variant in general. The reason, a number of changes ranging from the exterior, the interior until the engine has been re-polished.

The most extreme changes under the hood, where the machine is now using a V6 twin-turbo 3.8-liter capacity engine which is the flagship of the Nissan GT-R. Also this car has also adopted a modified version of the 4WD driveline and transmission six-speed transaxle.

Views outside the Juke-R can not be said mediocre. Very strong sporty aura radiated. Spoiler Just look at the front and side skirts with an aerodynamic curves. Rear wing and wheel dressing bars seven and thin tires reinforce the impression of sporty.

For this version, Nissan set up two models of the steering wheel left and right. Nissan has so far not decided Juke-R to be mass produced. But if the response from customers is good then do not rule out going into production phase.

Mitsubishi combines MIVEC technology and AS and G

Mitsubishi combines Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing technology Electronic (MIVEC) to Auto Stop & Go (AS & G). The goal, to machines that use both technologies are more economical fuel consumption. According to Mitsubishi in a release, the first machine that would combine the two technologies is 4J10 capacity of 1.8 liters.

This engine will be paired on a compact SUV, RVR (name in Japan) or ASX Outlander Sport in some countries). Other models are also equipped with this technology is the Galant Fortis sedan Sport (outside of Japan called the Lancer or Lancer EX) and Galant Fortis Sportback (Lancer Sportback) 5-door hatchback. With the combination of both technologies, the three models mentioned, earlier, more efficient fuel consumption 12 percent (tested with the Japanese method).

New MIVEC
MIVEC is a time machine with the lid open and can be arranged in accordance with the workload and spins. While the U.S. & G, automotive engine technology die a few seconds the car stopped and immediately live again once the accelerator is pressed!

MIVEC technology is not new. Each manufacturer provides its own name. VTEC and Honda to name a more sophisticated version is the i-VTEC, while Toyota VVTi and VVTi-L is more sophisticated.

Well, the new Mitsubishi MIVEC assessed, it works the same concept but used VVTi-L engine single overhead camshaft (SOHC). High-lift valve setting is set continuously. Likewise, long opening, opening and closing time.

previous MIVEC
Mitsubishi MIVEC was first used in 1992. It was used two systems. First, the system is composed difference in the level and duration of opening the valve lift in accordance with engine speed or not is not a continuous-mernus. One again, (used on the machine 4B10) system valve open-close time changed continuously.

The new MIVEC engine used in the 4J10, is combining two systems above. This can be done because at one mechanism could be used to alter the level of suction valve lift, which determines the time and duration of valve opening. It allows three of the diuba change simultaneously and continuously.

The result, a new MIVEC produces n ideal control valve and reduce "pumping losses" (pumping losses). This can be done by using time (timing) for suction valve controlling the volume of air suction channel groove there.

Furthermore, using the new MIVEC engine SOH - weights and fewer number of components - obtained better efficiency.

AS & G
Mechanisms idle-stop destination for save fuel consumption. You do this by turning off the engine when the car stopped at a red light. This technology previously only used Mitsubishi on models with manual transmission and sold in Europe. The model uses the ASX and Lancer.

AS & G's latest, mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Other changes, using a 12 volt battery is more durable and converters DC / DC (to prevent interference with audio sound systems and Navitas system when the engine is turned on).

BMW 3 series is the 7th generationwith 9 speed transmission

The new sixth-generation 3 Series launched some time ago, BMW has been preparing for the 7th generation to be born in 2020. Generation 3 Series-7 is claimed to be a vehicle that is much more secure, efficient compared to previous generations.

As reported by Autocar, BMW 3 series is the 7th generation will be bringing any new technology that could make fuel more efficient.

On the 6th generation 3 Series sedan in the car did not ever use 3-cylinder engine, but is expected for the 7th generation in the year 2020 BMW 3 Series will be using it.

This sedan will have a new transmission system up to 9 speed. There is also a sail system modes (mode sailing) are working together with 3D satellite navigation system to map the condition of the streets. So that's a little down the street to find the car, the transmission will change his teeth into neutral so the car can go without using any energy machine.

And the BMW 3 series generation-7 also has a target for these vehicles will reach up to 77g/km CO2 and will continue to decline up to 70 g / km in 2025 to come naturally with the help of an electric machine.

Does not stop there, the 7th generation of the BMW 3 Series will also be holding a diesel engine, and will make sure the hybrid system.

In addition to the 7th generation of the BMW 3 series will also be equipped with sensors that can help lanser rider. For the headlamps BMW 3 Series generation 7 will also use a light sensor that is twice better than LEDs but still efficient.

BMW to be born in 2020 is also going to use the wheel and will use a low aerodynamic drag brake or a better security system.

Carbon fiber was used in every corner of the body that serves to reduce the weight of the vehicle.

BMW 3 Series Active Hybrid 3 new released

BMW Series 4 is under testing by BMW

BMW's intention to produce a new species of BMW Series 4 appears to have made ​​up. Even a BMW Series 4 stylized coupe has successfully caught by camera while being tested.

BMW Series 4 was actually the brother of the BMW 3 Series. Later, the BMW Series 4 will be a coupe and cabriolet versions of the BMW 3 Series sedan.

As reported by Autocar, this is in line with this tactic for introducing BMW sedan with the middle name of the new BMW 5 Series, while the coupe version and the cabriolet called the BMW 6 Series.

This difference is certainly giving the sensation of driving is also different for the riders.

Engine for the BMW Series 4 possibilities similar to the BMW 3 Series. BMW 428i coupe that will come out later will likely use the engine capacity of 2,000 cc 4-cylinder equipped with a turbocharged 242 bhp power capable of giving birth.

Adoption of the name of BMW Series 4 for model BMW 3 Series coupe and cabriolet will also be implications for the model M3. For the BMW M3 coupe and cabriolet newfangled the name will be M4.

Step of renaming this new possibility will be done in the next 3 years, for the UK, BMW reportedly will launch the BMW Series 4 in 2014.

But still, even just doing re-badged and still several years away, preparations remains to be done and had to fix BMW BMW Series 4 for not too identical to the BMW 3 Series. That's why there will be some improvements.

In the BMW Series 4 which was caught on camera being tested this, it seems quite sporty aura. Newfangled coupe car seems to have soft flowing design lines from the front to the stern.

This seems to be applied to the BMW Series 4 is able to easily split the wind until finally able to go to fast driving and maximizes engine power sheltered behind the bonnet.

controversial debate of Simoncelli's death on social media

Simoncelli's death, immediately became trending topic on various social media such as twitter, facebook, youtube, mailing lists and so forth. Not only his condolences, but also controversial debate MotoGP fans. Starting from the debate over who is at fault in the incident of death, the negligence of the security system installers and others.

Although until now the FIM (Federation of the motor racing world) and its MotoGP racing commission is still investigating the incident deep in death Simoncelli, but not a few who dropped judgments on Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi. Let us trace the incident which claimed the lives of one of the future in MotoGP racer's.

At the bend to-11 second lap, Marco Simoncelli seen with very extreme cornering even considered exceeds the maximum slope that can be retained by the side of the tire side of MotoGP. Well some people have started to suspect the tire grip is wrong. However Simoncelli motor does not lose grip at all, the evidence of these motors can still bring the body into the path Simoncelli racing in the middle of the track.

If it loses grip tires, then Simoncelli will be thrown into the gravel left and did not return to the middle of the track. After the motor back on track racing, Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi are just behind Simoncelli, automatic simply can not avoid. Edwards also ran back Simoncelli and then dragged in front of the motor Monster Tech3, until finally Simoncelli helmet came off and was lying on the edge of the track.

Some people say that regardless Simoncelli helmet for motorcycle run over Colin Edwards, but many also said that despite Simoncelli helmet for motorcycle front tire run over Rossi. Of all the thousands of comments that are on twitter, facebook, mailing lists and so forth, are still debating who is wrong and why helmets Simoncelli be separated from the head.

But it seems less ethical if the incident of death as who is wrong and who was negligent. Hopefully the investigation FIM, Dorna MotoGP Motorsport and commission races run smoothly, so that such incidents are not repeated in the racing world.

As a friend, Rossi wrote in his twitter account which disebutkkannya, "Sic like a brother to me. He was so tough on the track, but the romance in his life. I do not believe the incident, I really miss him," wrote Rossi.

Crash test report for high speed car may lead to fatal

Each car will be produced would have to run a series of tests such as tests, crash test (collision test). This was done will be able to ascertain the level of safety and the safety car before diniagakan to the market.

However, what happens if the crash test was conducted at speeds above the normal limit, ie 200 km / h - normally EuroNCAP crash tests conducted only touch a maximum speed of 60 km / hour.

That's what trying to show Fifth Gear, by doing a crash test at the output of the old Ford Focus.

As reported by Dailymail, the family car was deliberately paired with a towing device that can make the car's speed can reach 200 km / h, and then hit into a thick wall that has a weight equivalent to a Ford Focus.

Of course, this action also involves the two dolls, which are placed on the front and back of the car.

As a result, Ford Focus that was falling apart and almost out of shape again. In fact, the car folded, leaving only the rear only.

This action further reinforces the crash test, the driver and passengers may not be safe if an accident at high speed.

Mitsubishi launches new diesel engine with DI-D High Power

Mitsubishi launches new diesel engine capacity of 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve Cammon Rail Direct Injection. Tech engine Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) is Pajero Sport will be installed at the latest.

though still the same engine capacity, but higher energy. "Long machine power only 136 PS, 176 PS while the new machine,"

This new engine has a torque of 350 Nm at 1800-3500 rpm spin, higher than the previous drive torque which is only 320 Nm. However, these new machines will not replace old machines. "Only an option for consumers who want great power,"

How to VGT work? At low and medium engine speed, the fins on the VGT engine automatically moves to close so that the exhaust gas passage narrows, and causes the exhaust gas turbine can rotate faster.

Meanwhile, the non-VGT turbo engine, the exhaust gas volumes are very few moving into a wide hallway, so that the air velocity decreases and makes the turbine spin more slowly. These conditions make the turbo work less than optimal.

At high rpm, the volume of flue gas will be solid, so that moving VGT fins enlarged. This will reduce exhaust back pressure and maintain the turbine speed.

VGT will optimize the performance of the turbine to achieve high torque at low speeds, and issue a maximum power at high speeds, so it can produce big power, 178 PS at 4,000 RPM.

"This is Mitsubishi's latest innovation designed to provide the best for consumers," "We call this technology by the name of the DI-D High Power."

The next generation Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Mitsubishi) has prepared the latest generation of the legendary sports sedan Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (Evo).

Interestingly, the latest variant of the Evo's use hybrid diesel engine, this car is no longer as a result of fuel greedy.

"Future generations Lancer Evo is a hybrid vehicle. The project work will be done this car next year and within three years of a sports sedan that is ready," said CEO of Mitsubishi, Asamu Masuko, told Autocar, Monday, October 24, 2011.

Although the use of diesel engines with electric motors, do not make this car considered trivial matter of speed. The reason according to Autocar, Evo Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in a matter of less than 5 seconds.

If that were true, it means that the vehicle does not disappoint in terms of speed. Surely this will make the Lancer Evo as an environmentally friendly sports sedan.

Last Lancer Evolution models on the market today is the Mitsubishi Evo X. Tenth-generation concept car was first introduced in 2005 and began to be marketed in Japan in 2007.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is an icon for Mitsubishi. Since it was first made ​​in 1992, the car had been incised brilliant achievement in the racing arena, especially in the World Rally Championship.

Ducati sport motorcycles launched Monster 795

ASIC exciting like a star Spark plugs

Federal-Mogul is one of the largest automotive component manufacturers in the world developed very exciting like a star Spark plugs called ASIC. Look at the picture, very different than with conventional spark plugs are in use today. Design or construction of the electrodes like a star. The result, sparks generated is also different, spreading in all directions.

Federal-Mogul as an inventor - is still being developed - called the spark plug with ACIS, short for Advanced Corona Ignition System. Yes, the ignition system of a sophisticated ring, or corona.

More and Save Money
Spark plugs that have been exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, the claim could radically alter the engine performance, fuel consumption is a more efficient 10 percent. "Enhancement of it is not obtainable by conventional spark plugs," explained President and CEO, Federal-Mogul, Jose Maria Alapont of the wonders of ACIS.

Described, the conventional spark plugs working with flowers memercikan fire (to burn the mixture of air and fuel that has been compressed) from a single point. After that, the combustion push the piston travels to the bottom dead point (TMB) in step effort.

In ACIS, ciptratan sparks generated greater. Because the sparks going on around the top of the spark plug electrodes to form a ring. The result, ionization or combustion takes place more quickly and efficiently.

Amazingly, directly occur in a broader scope. Consequently the next, with "plasma" which is very high, the air and fuel mixture will be more easily burned. In fact, the combustion process with a mixture of Miski can be done more easily, including burn back the recycled exhaust gas (EGR).

Fast and Steady
Sparks or corona rings in the form of ACIS occurs in a faster time (shorter) but steady. According Kristapher Mixell, Director of Powertrain Energy from Federal-Mogul, the conventional spark plugs it took two or three milliseconds to generate sparks while ACIS is only about 100-200 microseconds.

Ring of sparks can be designed, for example, had a diameter of 30 or 40 mm. With this addition, the combustion can be initiated throughout the combustion chamber. "This opens up new possibilities, combustion chamber shape to be more efficient," said Mixell.
Preventing Detonation
ACIS is also claimed to reduce detonation, the symptoms of burning mixture itself due to the temperature of fuel and air mixture of high (up) when compressed.

Detonation occurs prior to ignition. These symptoms occur because of the pressure waves from two separate sources of combustion, detonation and pembakran is triggered by the spark plug. When both combustion "collision" occurs a loud explosion.

In ACIS, it can be prevented because the sparks occur very rapidly and within the scope of a large room. Pembakran can be controlled.

High Compression
It is said also, ACIS allows the compression ratio is made higher. For example 14:1 on a machine without a turbocharger. As for the engine with the turbo, could be 12:1. Because the system is able to prevent the occurrence of detonation. With inipula, erosion of the electrodes can be reduced a result, the spark plug service life is also longer.

"The message pengiritan 10 obtained through tests on a system of direct injection gasoline engines equipped with turbochargers," said Mixell. Added, when this Federal-Mogul continues to develop the ACIS for machines with koill plug-ins or coil directly over the spark plug.

air bag safety protection for motorycle

for lovers of long-distance touring with large motors or motorcycles, Dainese, a manufacturer of racing apparel and equipment also touring motor produces D-water system. If the air bag in the car to rescue the driver and passenger (front) when the accident occurred.

Well, it was homemade Daenese same function. If in MotoGP rider when he protects the body fell. So, sort of an air bag is also designed Dainese (for racing hence the name D-water).

D-Air system for the first time used in the MotoGP race at Valencia by Marco Simoncelli while still berlaha in 250 cc class. Perhaps, this work is a revolutionary air bag to two wheels.

Project who spent 10 years, ranging from study to test, conducted by the Dainese Technology Center (D-Tec), department of Dainesen a duty to research and development, including the D-air Racing system is. They have teamed up with the Mechanical Engineering from the University of Padova, with consultants from FIAT quality control division, TRW and KTM Racing Team.

The system works is not related to motor components. Thus, objects such as a float plane, worn around the neck. The part that is protected, but also neck collarbone.

"Once created for the benefit of racing, both in circuit and road versions (Isle of Man), D-water is now also available for highway motorists," the statement from Dainese.
