leaked picturesof the all-new Honda CR-V

After the leaked pictures came up production of the final end of September 2011, finally officially introduced the all-new Honda CR-V in Japan. Excerpted from the website carscoop last weekend, the figure of sport utility vehicle (SUV), this seems to "leak" from the promo sheet presentation before Honda released to the market. Or was deliberately made as if the leak?!

Honda once said, the latest CR-V would be more "sophisticated" and dynamic than previous models. In addition, the interior is more spacious and equipped with new technology. Indeed from existing images, can not be proven Honda promises. Just visible figure of the exterior only. When compared with the emerging concept version, the end of July 2011, there were some differences.

The bottom of the main light for example, now equipped with an LED as a light lunch. Rim design, although still crossbar five, but now much simpler and smaller. The back has not changed much still use light design right triangle on both sides. Now the form of an additional brake light mounted on the rear roof edge, the more obvious.

There has been no definitive information about the engine behind the front hood. But, it is believed the engine 4-cylinder 2.4-liter petrol is still one of the flagship. Made its inaugural debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, mid-November 2011 and the Domestic Market Japanese version two weeks later in the event the Tokyo Motor Show, in December 2011.

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).

The BMW X6 turned into Monster Truck Offroad

The name of the German luxury car BMW X6 certainly unimaginable if this car can be invited to race. But that's what worked by All German Motorsport. , The BMW X6 turned into Monster Truck Offroad to explore desert tracks.

When we compare the standard model, it appears only the front grille are still maintained. The rest, Trophy Truck X6 overhauled mainly on the body that is now increasingly grim with black strip orange.

Just look at the SUV body that transformed into a truck with a body that use to be more lightweight fiberglass. Furthermore, X6 Trophy Truck also uses a custom chassis and suspension from Fox (so the distance to the front elevation increased to 25 inches and 32 inches at the rear).

X6 Trophy Truck is also supported by using tires with coarse profile and will debut on baja1000 competition to be held next month.

In addition, modifications to the X6 Trophy Truck also performed on the machine that has been applying the spur kitchen and V8 X6 M version with a capacity of 4400 cc. But the All German Motorsport keep changes to the engine-powered 555 dk.
