Volvo V40 sweeping the last test EuroNCAP safety

Volvo V40
With this trajectory, Volvo comes the launch of its latest model, the Volvo V40, replacement of existing S40 and V50, besides making design and architectural concept in the security paradigm, with the addition of a whole series of catalog electronic driving aids and a world first, the premiere of the first airbag to pedestrians.

In any version of this system is present in the case of a violation desirable never fired a pyrotechnic air bag deployment emerging from the top of the hood to cover the hardest parts around the windshield.

The air bag is inflated almost simultaneously acting device which lifts the engine hood to prevent the pedestrian receives the impact of the upper motor.

This system is to subtract severity of injury in an accident, but it may not be necessary, because the Volvo V40 also incorporates a new pedestrian detection with full auto brake.

The pedestrian detection with automatic braking, not available anywhere else V40 car segment, is based on a radar integrated into the grill of the vehicle, shared by other vehicle safety systems, and a camera in front of the inside rearview mirror and a central control unit.

The radar's task is to detect any pedestrians or vehicles in front of the car while it calculates the distance between them, and the camera determines what type of object it is. Detects pedestrians than 80 inches high, minimum.

The system, in an emergency, sends the driver an audible warning together with a flashing light that appears on the windshield, and if the driver does not react to the warning and impact is imminent the device directs all braking power up to the car, where the situation is less than 35 km / h. If the speed is higher, the system will break the car every effort to mitigate the impact.

The criterion is the same for the anti collision system City Safety urban, and premiered at the XC60, but in this case to avoid scope improved faster, up to 50 km / h (prior to 30 km / h).

The Volvo equipped with City Safety are involved in approximately 20% fewer accidents than cars with rear automatic braking.

And this system, like the rest of the board, makes a generation Volvo such as the V40, reduces up to 50% the chance of getting hurt in an incident.

This conclusion is proven by the extensive database of traffic accidents handled by the technical department of the company that inspects every crash that involving a Volvo. This result was reached after analysis of data collected since 2000.

Volvo says the V40 is the most intelligent and secure vehicle in its history, complete with a long list of driving aids, such as adaptive cruise control and distance control, the warning system touch lane change, assist device for parking, traffic sign recognition, active high beams and a radar system in the cross traffic alert rear cars approaching from either side of the car in gear maneuvers back.

Besides security paradigm, the Volvo V40 is a weapon full of arguments to meet the high-end models in the compact segment.

A powerful argument is the design, with which the mark is capable of hybridizing a traditional concept like sedans three bodies and four doors, the familiar format "station wagon" and the five-door compact car.

The design is an extension of characterizing the XC60 and V60, but with some of its features even more pronounced, especially those that define the shape front and shoulders and the backplane.

The lines on the hood, the shape of the headlamps and its location at the ends, enhances the car's width and mark the beginning of the character line that draws a silhouette that goes low to high, giving a cut to coupe Fig.

In the rear property line is the highest plane crash, to the waist line, to fall from there vertically. In that line of intersection of the two backplanes is very pronounced curvature of the shoulders, accentuated by the stroke of the rear lights, more pronounced than the range of 60.

The interior bears the unmistakable signature of Volvo. The seats, for one, can be classified as the best in the segment. Ergonomics is very similar to all models of the brand. They are an unmistakable signature in Volvo and its great virtue is to treat the position like no other, especially the back.

Inside The big news is the new instrument panel, which is the hallmark of being virtual. The instrument panel is based on a glass screen which is a TFT active repackaging of information that is customizable in content and presentation, with three different lighting modes.

Elegance mode shows an amber light, the Eco-Meter displays an echo in the left side of the box and consumer information and the light turns to green when driving is efficient, and how performance is shown in red tone with a tachometer in the center that replaces the speedometer of the other modes and an indicator informs the driver how much power is available and how much is being used.

And on top of the center stack screen 5 to 7 inches, depending on the options chosen, provides multimedia information systems and configuration of some devices, such as City Safety and Pedestrian Detection.

On the drive, the version tested corresponds to the basic and most reasonable range, given the performance during a long trial of over 2,000 kilometers.

It is equipped with the 1.6 diesel engine 115 horsepower, one of the engines developed jointly by Ford and PSA when Volvo belonged to the first (now the Swedish brand is owned by Chinese automaker Geely).

With this engine, achieves a performance Volvo official fuel consumption figure of 3.6 liters and 94 grams of CO2 per kilometer, an excellent brand in the real world, with a varied driving, city and highway, rises to just over 5 liters. Contributes to low consumption, no doubt, the start-stop system Start and Stop.

With fuel prices like this, this is the smartest option, enriched by very agile dynamic performance, the engine and the whole set.

This engine, characterized by metallic sounds very quiet on display here. It is very well insulated interior, perhaps better than road noise invades the living environment of the V40. The engine sound may disappear in cruise regimes.

The 1.6-liter engine provides adequate performance for everyday driving, without sacrificing the agility to roll at high rates. Not a prodigy accelerations but stopwatch times are more than enough to move without complexes between cars much more powerful.

The version tested is equipped with six-speed manual gearbox rather staggered that does not need constant use to retrieve performance because almost 300 Nm of torque delivery and engine starting at 1,750 rpm save many Forex trading.

The manufacturer offers the Power shift dual-clutch box, a possibility still unproven but already used in some Ford models shown as the most interesting dynamic performance and fuel consumption.

Everything is packaged on a proven chassis dynamic efficiency, because it is a derivative used for the Ford Focus, Volvo evolved.

The frame belongs to that class of select designs that create the sensation of rolling on rails when it comes to them in curved paths.

The steering, electric assist, exhibits a good fit and is responsible for giving direct orders are fulfilled very faithfully for the front, which makes quickly place the rear creating that unique feeling of grip to the line of the curve.

Volvo V40 can go very fast in steps per curve is very consistent and straight, with a very balanced suspensions adjustment and firm, the reason perhaps generates more road noise in the front.

Overall, the Volvo V40 is comfortable driving a car from the ergonomic point of view and very safe from the dynamic driving sensations equivalent to the finest of its competitors, regardless of electronic driving aids and extent of their security systems.

With an emphasis on design and, above all, security, V40 is set to head the segment of high-end compact, unless note the value of the brand, because at this point of Volvo far, although increasingly, Audi, BMW or Mercedes Benz.

Tokyo Motor Show: VW Cross Coupe Plug-in Hybrids Concept‎

Volkswagen introduced a cross-coupe concept today at the Tokyo Motor Show. , Plug-in hybrids and looks like a traditional four-door coupe and an SUV gets together on the design center.

VW's first to feature 'modular transverse matrix' new, whatever it was, and looked pretty much production ready. Looks like a big enough engine on the image, but actually shorter than the Tiguan.

The car will feature plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.4-liter gasoline engine with 148bhp 1TSI two electric motors, one in front and one rear axle, developing 54bhp and 114bhp respectively. When used in combination, there are a total output of 261bhp is offered, which allows the car accelerate 0-62mph in 7.0sec and reaches a top speed of 125mph respectable. Although cross-worthy performance Coupe, issued and offered 62g/km CO2 figure of 105mpg claim. A production model will probably have more VW TSI and TDI engines are paired with a conventional manual and DSG gearboxes. . Since the car line that dramatically sloping roof, boot capacity of 379 liters, but this can be increased to 1229 liters with the rear seats folded.

In the end, Volkswagen showcased other innovations in thanks to the concept of all-wheel-drive system with shaft drive electric. Rear Axle driven by an electric motor while the power supplied to the electric motor behind the rear by one in front. This means that the flow of electrical energy to replace conventional power transfer by the drive shaft, make space in the center tunnel to hold the lithium-ion batteries.

Volkswagen T5 Series received new engines

Volkswagen T5
The German Hartmann - I must say that we had not heard much of it around here - we just introduced a comprehensive package of amendments to the Volkswagen T5. That is, that can be applied both to the Volkswagen Transporter, Multivan and, Caravelle and California, which are essentially the same vehicle adapted to different uses. The package includes customization is aesthetic enhancement. The name is not Hartmann Prime Volkswagen T5.

From the outside we see a huge 20-inch wheels wrapped in tires measures 275/35 R20. Lips are also added below the front and rear bumpers and each exhaust most striking breadsticks, instead of the exhaust hidden under the bumper which tends to have these vehicles. Inside there are not many changes, just some trim faux carbon fiber and new rugs.

A sports exhaust and sports suspension lowered by 30 mm - yeah, in a van does not make sense - are the prelude to severe potentiation for various engines. If our Volkswagen T5 2.0 TDI engine brings 140 hp 166 hp can enjoy and 395 Nm of torque. However, if you enjoyed the 177 hp 2.0 BiTDI power will grow to 212 hp, while torque grows to 460 Nm, figures close to a V6 turbo diesel.

VW Beetle convertible of the future

Beetle Convertible
Substituting the VW Beetle to the shears, the fussy Rounding turned into an emotional dream car. The e-Bugster is only one study. But more behind it.

Volkswagen wants to be more emotional. As the next generation of Beetle Convertible comes in handy. If the open end of the year Beetle in Los Angeles and its debut is the beginning of 2013 goes on sale, are all dreaming of sun a second open version. A speedster in the bodywork of the Volkswagen Beetle seems to be no spinning. As an electric version, there is even a single piece.

Sun masculine VW Beetle you've seen one before. Brawny aprons, LED daytime running hook as well as a sizable rear spoiler, shoulder high, the flat roof line - impress a sports car. The flared wheel arches make the VW E-Bugster three inches wider than the later model Beetle series, the frame of the windshield and was cut off six inches by four and reduces the tendency to almost 55 degrees. So the whole thing looks sportier, the driver's seat has been lowered by an inch. The idea of a Bugster is not for this new Volkswagen. Seven years ago, the last generation VW Beetle was already cut and trimmed on one sport. The VW fans cheered, but the remained a fair dream. "Back then we were in the model cycle of the beetle too late," says project manager Dzemal Sjenar, "which was not profitable anymore."

But could the VW E-Bugster is more than a design concept that could lead to a remarkable body variant. The Wolfsburg want to show how much the electric drive is the focus of many developments. For instance the bright white single piece of e-Bugster by an electric actuator which is connected with the coming of the electric golf almost identical. The E-module delivers 115 hp and maximum torque of 270 Nm. Thus, the prototype will be slowed down to business and peppy hums merrily up the hill. With the comfort of the individual piece, it is not far away in spite of ordinary processing. The 20-inch model in the retro look of the legendary fox rim may look great; the innovators do, however, unusually hard.

"The battery system of theVW E-Bugster is opposite the golf changed somewhat. The cell package is shorter and higher. It is only behind the seats to get the trunk remains," said Dzemal Sjenar the 200-pound powerhouse that the electric car a total of bringing 1.4 tons. The additional weight over the rear axle makes the e-Bugster even sportier, because the weight distribution is better than the Nitro. Six months have Sjenar and a dozen team of experimental construction, design and handicrafts to drive the prototype.

Inside, the E-Bugster some nice surprises. Catcher is the electrical pulse, which travels at the start of the electric ignition by the enigmatic white design of the dashboard panels. Worth and through forward to reality the large TFT screen that can operate across the various vehicle functions. The controls for air conditioning a bit deeper and heated seat are no less exciting. Of course, the usual round watches VW Beetle in the cockpit were replaced by animated cast information. Let's hope that Volkswagen is brave enough to build the VW Bugster not only as individual pieces.

The electric motor can even be left out. Emotional would mark the Bugster in each case. It would at least be an important step in the right direction. A corresponding series motorized version with a powerful turbo direct injection engine should cost about 30,000 €.

Volvo S60 Polestar
If we'd been stunned and overwhelmed Volvo S60 TTA silhouette racing cars for the Swedish championship, the TTA - Elite Racing League, not least we will be surprised with the presentation of final Polestar Volvo S60 in your body for street sports sedan . Obviously has little or nothing to do with each other, the first is based on architecture of the central rear engine and mechanical specifications and common shared by several manufacturers. But nevertheless there is no doubt that this model recovers the legacy of the competition to demonstrate the value of the manufacturer of Gothenburg.

The next weekend the TTA will close to the Volvo headquarters, marking the perfect occasion to present the new Volvo S60 Polestar, a street model the result of close collaboration that has continued in recent years the Swedish team and Volvo. Although currently we have to be cautious, as only be presented as a prototype that we hope to reach however see in showrooms soon.

Although Volvo is looking to launch a sports sedan based on the S60 in a position to compete with models with a long history as the BMW M3, the decision will be based on the success of this initial prototype. It is important to note that the prototype Volvo C30 Polestar Performance Concept 2010 was a success and although many potential buyers were interested in him, has not yet reached or even throw in a limited series.

For now we will settle for knowing that next weekend will unveil the new Volvo S60 will Polestar and the aggressive side to appreciate the little progress that Volvo has given us these days. Count with a characteristic blue body and an aesthetic that at least takes the aesthetic features of the racing sport that is competing this year in the TTA.

Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid To Market in 2012

Volvo has confirmed that it will bring the Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid to market in 2012.
All other hybrids sold come with gas engines. The 2012 Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid has an estimated range of 1200 kilometers or 750 miles. At Volvo Car Corporation, work on the V60 Plug-in Hybrid progresses in parallel with development of the Volvo C30 Electric, which a runs entirely on electricity. The third leg in Volvo Car Corporation's electrification strategy is empowering the upcoming engine generation with hybrid technology.





Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid
Volvo V60 plug-in hybrid
The future electric-car market will feature a mixture of both all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids. The rear axle is powered by an electric motor producing 70 horsepower. The compact battery pack of the 2012 Volvo Plug-in Hybrid consists of 10 modules with 20 cells in each module. The interaction between diesel and electric power is handled via a control system. In hybrid, the diesel engine and electric motor interact to provide the optimal balance between driving pleasure and low environmental impact.

 Developed in partnership with Swedish utility company Vattenfall, the new Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid promises mileage of 124 mpg on the slightly more generous European combined cycle when equipped with a diesel engine. The turbo diesel engine drives the front axle and the electric motor drives the rear, meaning the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid is also an all-wheel drive vehicle.

 “No industry or organization can tackle the climate challenge all by itself. It is our mission to develop carbon dioxide-lean cars, but it is the society that is responsible for creating a sustainable future. This project shows how cooperation between experts in different areas brings us closer to the transition from individually carbon dioxide-lean products to a climate-smart lifestyle,” says Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation.

“With a plug-in hybrid the driver is entirely independent of recharging stations when driving long distances. The future electric-car market will feature a mixture of both all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids,” says Stefan Jacoby.

Volkswagen Touareg 2011 Review

The Volkswagen Touareg is all-new for 2011. A new hybrid gas-electric version headlines the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg lineup. The 2011 Touareg V6 TSI Hybrid is the most powerful and the most expensive. The Hybrid requires Premium gasoline.






Volkswagen Touareg 2011
Volkswagen Touareg

Least expensive and, in our view, most fun to drive is the Touareg VR6 FSI Sport, which uses a 280-hp V6 engine EPA-rated at 16/23 mpg City/Highway (21 mpg Combined). The Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI Clean Diesel features a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel with 225 horsepower that's EPA-rated 19/28 mpg (22 mpg Combined).

Throwing conventional progression to the wayside, Volkswagen's all-new VW Touareg is actually lighter, more aerodynamic and more fuel efficient than the model it replaces. The exterior changes to the latest Touareg reflect the refinements under the hood. The Volkswagen Touareg will be available in nine different colors including five new colors: Cool Silver Metallic, Flint Gray Metallic, Toffee Brown Metallic, Night Blue Metallic and Tungsten Silver Metallic (Hybrid only).

The Sport trim has an 18-inch Tacora alloy wheel, Lux trim comes equipped with 19-inch Everest wheels and the Executive trim comes with 20-inch Pikes Peak wheels. A signature feature for the Volkswagen Touareg; this SUV is available with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 TDI Clean Diesel engine, which offers class leading fuel economy of 19 cities, 28 highway miles per gallon.

All VW Touareg models now come with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The 8th gear reduces engine speed by 33 percent compared to 6th gear, which reduces fuel consumption and significantly lowers emissions. The Touareg interior has also been refined with a focus on comfort and functionality. Cabin noise has been reduced compared to the previous model through optimized insulation and acoustics. The sunroof is standard in the Lux, Executive and Hybrid trim lines.

Standard and found only in the Touareg is Volkswagen's new premium RNS850 touch screen radio-navigation system. In addition to navigation, the VW Touareg Sport comes standard with a multitude of premium interior features including navigation with rearview camera, BiXenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, an 18-inch alloy wheel, power adjustable and heated front seats in V-Tex leatherette, Bluetooth connectivity, Sirius Satellite Radio, Climatronic dual-zone, and silver metallic interior inlays with a black high-gloss center console and trim surrounds.

In addition to the Sport features, the Lux trim features a 19-inch alloy wheels, large two piece panoramic powered sunroof, 12-way power adjustable front seats and leather seating surfaces with driver memory, power lumbar and Burr Walnut interior inlays with a wood center console. The Executive trim level offers all Lux features along with a 20-inch alloy wheels, heated multifunction steering wheel, heated front and rear seats, keyless entry system with push-button start, rearview camera with Park Distance Control (PDC) and a Dynaudio premium sound system.

The VW Touareg optimized running gear offers very good vibration control and ride comfort, a low roll angle, responsive handling and improved dynamic stability. The Touareg utilizes aluminum in its double wishbone suspension, which helped with reducing the weight of the vehicle. The vehicles 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is mated to a rear limited-slip Torsion differential. The Touareg contains six airbags, including dual front units (dual-stage for the driver, single stage for the front passenger), thorax units for the driver and front passenger and Side Curtain Protection for the front and rear outboard passengers, all are standard on the Touareg.

For the all-new Touareg, Volkswagen developed an improved head restraint system.
Even with the standard 4Motion four-wheel drive, the Volkswagen Touareg is rated at 16-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway, which nearly equals the outgoing turbo-diesel. The large 26-gallon fuel tank gives a theoretical range of 600 miles, but will be expensive to fill since the Volkswagen requires premium fuel.

The VW Touareg ride is controlled and ‘European’ – read: well-damped – on the standard 18-inch wheels. Fuss free. All Touareg get convenience features like dual climate control, an iPod adapter, cruise control, Bluetooth hands-free, heated seats, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear-view camera, ABS and stability control, which makes it a true foul-weather friend.

The Lux adds 19-inch wheels, a panoramic power sunroof, heated and power-adjustable side mirrors, walnut interior trim, metallic center console trim, and 12-way power leather seats for $3,850. The top-line Executive trim includes the Lux’ features and adds Audi 20-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, keyless access with push-button start, parking sensors and a rocking Dynaudio sound system for the not insignificant price of $9,550. Scarily, that means that there is no appreciable difference between the base models of the Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7 ($46,250), BMW X5 ($46,300) and the Porsche Cayenne ($46,700).

Volkswagen --, abbreviated VAG, has asked for a few years the largest car manufacturer in the world. The traditional giants Toyota and General Motors, however, a difficult story when only one or two brands in your portfolio can offer. Since the nineties, the German manufacturer therefore in good spirits on the takeover stepped. After Audi already in the sixties could be appropriated were in the past 25 years, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Porsche, MAN, Scania, Seat and Skoda at the VAG group were added.

Integrate
At this acquisition anger now seems to come to an end. CEO Martin Winterkorn told the German newspaper Handelsblatt explained that the company currently has a decent chunk of integrating the latest acquisitions, Porsche, Ducati and truck manufacturer MAN. Especially the integration of Porsche must successfully go smoothly, with the purchase was indeed nearly 4.5 billion euros, money that course should be recouped.

Alfa Romeo
Despite the statements of Winterkorn running the rumor mill surrounding Volkswagen cheerfully. Thus, the German manufacturer eye drop on the Malaysian Proton and the Italian Alfa Romeo.

So do not be surprised if we have a few years, if VAG his affairs again completely in order, still a struggle dissociate cracks about the famous Italian brand.

Toyota is heading for the biggest

toyota
Japanese, a nation is determined. Take the folks at Toyota. In early 2011 befell them one of the biggest natural disasters in history, shortly after claiming they soon back on top to stand. Based on sales so far they seem indeed again be the largest automaker.

By a devastating tsunami in March last year some time Toyota had the car stop production as a result, General Motors finally took home the title with the largest automaker in the world. Even the Japanese giant Volkswagen sought over. Shortly after the disaster had Toyota confident of once again the largest production would run at full speed. Based on the figures for the first half year of this year they could be right it will get. The Japanese have so far been almost 5 million cars produced. General Motors follows with 300,000 units less and Volkswagen will not exceed 4.45 million units. The figures also come from the manufacturers themselves, so they are not entirely independent.

9 million
that the struggle between these three again the biggest thing is almost certain. Toyota wants GM will trump the more than 9 million cars must wear. The forecasts of the American group indicate that they number, just like last year, namely fetch. Volkswagen may be the sales battle between the two traditional biggest quite keep up, but will probably finish third again as smiling, before the Germans arrive a little too short. But how long will that take?

Toyota Avalon 2011 Review

The 2011 Toyota Avalon will bring a little more refinement and some new features to the fore when it goes on sale in the summer.

We're praised the 2010 Toyota Avalon for its quiet ride, its roomy cabin and its high-quality interior, rating it at 7.8 out of 10. Woodgrain trim dominates, along with big knobs and a big LCD screen that controls the Avalon's available navigation system.The Avalon's front-wheel-drive chassis uses MacPherson struts in front and in back, and the Avalon sticks with power rack-and-pinion steering.

 Toyota Avalon

The Toyota Avalon can seat six, with a three-across front bench available. In back, the Avalon's seats recline for better comfort; something Toyota says is unique in the class. Toyota says the 2011 Toyota Avalon will go on sale this spring, with base and Limited editions offered. Standard features will include leather trim, power driver seat, dual-zone climate control, a moon roof, and 17-inch wheels. The Limited adds a smart-key system, ventilated front seats, and a power front passenger seat. Around the same time as Chrysler attacked the large front driver market with the LH platform, Toyota was getting into the full-size arena with the Toyota Avalon.

Toyota has given the Avalon a thorough going-over with the goal of distancing the near-Lux-barge from its mass-market cousin. The Toyota Avalon Limited adds keyless-go, HID headlamps, heated and cooled front seats and a power front passenger seat to the party. Starting at $32,445 in base trim and $35,685 for the Limited trim, our Limited trim tester came equipped with the only factory option on offer: the $1,450 navigation and up-level sound system.

Chrysler’s K cars had more convincing wood trim. If you have seen any Avalon TV commercials lately, then you know that Toyota’s biggest selling point for the "Toyota Avalon" is the rear seat. Otherwise, the rear of the Toyota Avalon is huge generous. Out on the road the Toyota Avalon yields relatively few surprises. When the road gets twisty, the front wheel drive platform and somewhat narrow rubber remind you that you are driving a premium full-size front-wheel-drive sedan, not a sports sedan by any measure. Torque steer may be limited, but so is grip with the all-season tires that are standard on both Toyota Avalon trims. The closest real competition for the Toyota Avalon can be found in the Hyundai Azera. The Toyota Avalon is the type of car that Toyota executes to perfection. New car shoppers seem to forget the Avalon exists despite the bevy of campy-TV ads Toyota has been airing over the past few months, which is a shame the Toyota Avalon might just be the best full-size sedan for sale at the moment.

Out-Buick a Buick. That’s the one phrase that comes to mind when discussing Toyota’s flagship, the Toyota Avalon. Toyota scared them well enough away. The gauges are well organized and clear, and the Toyota Avalon has one of Toyota’s more well-laid-out dashboards.

As you might expect, standard Avalon’s come with a long list of luxury items like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable heated and ventilated leather seats, keyless entry, a nine-speaker audio system, dual-zone climate control and wood-grain trim everywhere. The more expensive Limited gains a power rear sunshade, a JBL audio upgrade, and keyless ignition and ventilated front seats.

Avalon pricing starts at $32,595, while the Limited rings in at $35,835. That’s decent value compared to other big front-drivers, but the aging Hyundai Azera tops out at only $29,570.

Zeus Twelve

The models
at this time, the three models in Sweden. The Gold Rush is the most realistic to see and is a cross between a Viper and a Nissan GT-R. Look through the many gold details there and it would be quite a nice thing to have. Under the hood is at least a 510 hp V12 the car a top speeds of 302 km / h, can give. Of a completely different caliber is the Magnate. This four-door coupe with suicide doors and 6.7 liter V8 with its 505 horsepower must also be very close to the magical 300 km / h limit can come. The most spectacular of the three is undoubtedly the Sigma. Which is for the most part built and carbon and aluminum, but also makes use of lightweight plastics.
