Wi-Fi Cars, The Future Cars
Auto Trend - Technologycal Analyst claim, consumers are increasingly welcomed the idea of wi-fi car technology, which allows a car into the warehouse of information and entertainment like a smart phone or tablet computer.
The Car with 1610 km / hour Speed!
Replica car is called Bloodhound Supersonic Car (SSC) along the 12.8-meter is the result of study findings for three years.
The model became a star on the Farnborough International Air Show this year. The team had also been announced that Hampson Industries aerospace factory will start making cars in the first quarter of 2011.
"The presence of Hampson Industries, a manufacturing project we have secured half of the car body. This marks a major step in this project, "said project director Richard Noble.
"Hampson Industries is the representative of the prosperity of the skills we have in the UK and underlines the importance of maintaining this expertise." Another agreement to make the front with another company is also soon to see the final point. "Now we're in route to produce this car as a whole," said Mark Chapman, the chief mechanic, told the BBC.
"We hope to bring these vehicles into the streets in the UK in late 2011 or early 2012." Assuming no major problems that arise from the tests on the streets, Bloodhound will be taken to a dry lake known as Hakskeen Pan, in the Northern Cape of South Africa, to begin testing the fastest record in the mainland.
To claim the record, the car should be better than time records obtained Thrust supersonic car earlier in the year 1997. The car was capable of a speed of 763 mph or 1228 km / hr. Bloodhound first test will be conducted in the year 2012.
However, the team believes, Bloodhound superior aerodynamic form, combined with the power of Falcon hybrid rocket and jet engine-EJ200 the Eurofighter Typhoon, will carry the blue and orange car that reached speeds of more than 1000 mph (1610 km / h).
Several engine tests have been done and the results are successful, the machine is fully capable of lifting power with a maximum of 90kN produce thrust without any problems. In total, Bloodhound produce 133 159 bhp. Strength equivalent to 180 Formula One car.
Three people who worked on the Thrust will also be invited in this Bloodhound project. They are Wing Car driver Andy Green, project director Richard Noble and Ron Ayres aerodynamics expert.
The trio are not only designed the Bloodhound as the record-breaking, but also as a project that hopefully will inspire children to want to study the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Machinery and Mathematics). Bloodhound Education Program was announced at Farnborough. Meanwhile, about 1.5 million high school students currently use the curriculum resource materials based on supersonic car.
A replica of the car was on display in Farnborough Air show weekend ini.Jika actual vehicle weighs six tons, then the replica is made from polystyrene and fiber glass, it weighs 950 kg. The visitors also will have a chance to see an additional model aerodynamic design team that created Bloodhound car could be driven.
Before you reach that point, the car produces lift in the number of dangerous at high speeds on the model. However, by playing the position and form a key element of the rear of the car, the design team to find solutions that will set the shockwave that passes around and under the vehicle when it became supersonic. This effort was assisted by the project sponsor, Intel.
Company's computer chip capable of carrying large computer power to solve the problem of lift. "This is called a configuration of 10," said Chapman. "It's very stiff in the rear, the car was getting a track-in a very narrow section. Between November and March, we reduce the ability to lift 11 tons to 0 - the ability to lift at Mach 1.3. At this point, we had an aerodynamic shape that you can see the replica of that car. This car is very stable. "

Koenigsegg Concept Number
At the Geneva Motor Show 2009 Koenigsegg is a full-scale model of their concept Quant, electric four-door coupe in the NLV PARTNERSHI from the sun, innovative photovoltaic thin FLM to feed the body. The aim is to produce a limited series.
Kvant concept was developed by a Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg NLV supercars in partnership with Solar AG, a pioneer in the field of photovoltaic technology and battery.
Full four-plane model of solar electric car was launched at the Geneva Motor Show 2009, two companies are currently working on the operation scale of the prototype for mass production.
Quantum battery electric vehicles, which are again at full power for only 20 minutes, thanks to the BCC (flow battery energy storage), with a range of 500 kilometers.
Among Technical carbon aluminum chassis / body components and innovative photovoltaic FLM invisible carbon thin lining, body and provides an additional source of energy.
This system also contributes to the development of electric transmission, drivetrain, which simplifies the design and packaging, but only one disk is required.
The total power of 512 hp and maximum torque of 715 Nm, which allows Kvant is 0-100 km / h in 5.2 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 275 km / h.
Design
Given the size of NLV us is abnormally low frontal area of about 2 m square. This, coupled with the drag of about 0.27 CD coeffcient and effectiveness of the BCC is a range of cars.
Design Group also Christian von Koenigsegg, Nunzio La VECCHIA (project manager and design), Joachim Nordwall (Designer), Efraim Tangen (modeling / surface / Designwork), Victor Rosenvinge, Ketil Humlekjaer, Remi Andersen (physical modeling).
The Quantum Design offers a unique combination of a super sports car looks and space of the traditional luxury sedan. The car will have four adults comfortably, and have a big trunk behind.
Gull-wing doors are unique to the production of four seats, as well as function with style, but also entry into the car more ergonomics thanks to the missing B-pillars, which allow access to the front and the rear passenger seat.
Only side-Lite division, all the passengers to open and close the front and rear side windows separately, despite
There is only one door on each side.
Specifications
Koenigsegg Interior Concept RenderingThe Kvant Kvant NLV is rear-wheel drive, four-wheel regenerative braking, ABS and ESP. It was based on two electric motors AC induction motors with variable frequency and a step in the world-line drive, one for each rear wheel.
Dual engine design eliminates the need for a conical or differentiated to further simplify the mechanism and power, and continuous relation to the rear wheels, as well as on the disc and on the coast.
Draft weighing 1780 kg is understandable when you consider that battery, four seats, luxury cars in performance. In part this is due to the installation of two engines, only 140 kg - a remarkable achievement, given the power of 512 hp and maximum torque of 715 nm, the quantum deliver 0-100 km / h for 5, 2 seconds, and press the maximum speed of 275 km / h.
Koenigsegg Kvant ConceptAnother reason for the low weight of the vehicle is equipped with a carbon backbone chassis Monotube construction, in which the vehicle security system in the BCC line to the lowest position, the heart center of gravity and mass. BCC only weighs about 450 kg and does not contain harmful substances and heavy metals.
Project
This project was born when NLV Solar AG for the environmentally conscious Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg Super sports cars, and to develop a "future car" NLV innovative solar technologies in the field of batteries and accumulators.
In 2008, the two companies signed a cooperation agreement to establish a vehicle to test a unique propulsion system that allows optimal use of solar energy developed NLV Solar AG together with innovative memory.

Chris bracelet: a hero of modern cars
For 10 years Chris was a car designer bracelet all love to hate. Here was a man who gives us the flame surface, completely renovated BMW, that the language and how this process of auto-design rules.
As design director of BMW, more than any other car designer Chris bracelet in the headlines. Not only in the automotive media, but in all media. He made his eloquent controversial design direction for what had been the dean of protected German sports sedan, at the same time, deflect or ignore the criticism more than any other car designer has received.
And now, as he began his last day in the German society (indeed, the last day of work in the automotive industry), the media remind us of their achievements Fiat Coupe, the flame from the X-Coupe surface, the third generation "bracelet-butt "Series 7 and the tissue surface of Gina, the choice of car, away from the sobriety of the 90 principles of design BMW. We are also reminded his colleagues about the criticism of its design - not less than J Mays' disparaging view of the 1-series - and his charisma and intelligence.
But there is confusion about the unusual public farewell Chris bracelet as often as the media generally focus their eyes on the car design. Like the rest of the media second guessing his status as hero or villain automotive design, car design news in the community wanted to celebrate some of the undeniable truth, a bracelet from BMW, the time is probably the best memory.
In the 1990's series BMW, which is usually regarded as close to impeccable design, the harmonious coexistence. Bracelet, when the chief designer in 1992, BMW was forced to continue conservative management "cookie-cutter approach. But BMW sedan with aesthetics than the mature, and 7-series for a large series, 5 seems to be expanding the series 3, bracelet managed in the management that it is time for innovation and development strategies, regardless of this reaction could be to customers, the management at BMW and other car designers.
This new approach to innovation and change in the monolithic design of the strategy, of course, is the cornerstone of the success of Chris bracelet from BMW. It is the foundation of the brand position today, generation of good design to achieve the identity of cars on the market, and mixed, and the connection lines of cars, the customer better than ever. Nevertheless, all these innovations, and diversification has been achieved while preserving the character design of BMW, the brand kidney grille and four round headlamps Hofmeister kink, front engine rear drive ratios in the total amount of premium sports personality.
But this innovative design, if not a new development strategy has been widely criticized. In addition, nearly half the directors of structures that are critical to approach Chris bracelet for BMW, and they are often strongly criticized. At the heart of this is the view that many of "his" BMW models ugly, ugly or unnecessary aspects of them - 1-Series, X3 and the previous generation E65 7 Series is the most frequently cited examples.
Mercedes-Benz BlueZero
Five seats, Class-B size of the characters from the Mercedes-Benz plans to create a fully electric vehicle (EV) in the production of 2012-2013 biennium. The company is in a class before the car in 2010, but BlueZero a name for the new EV the whole area.
Design Gorden Wagener boss said that he wants "a new face for the Mercedes of electric vehicles" and "closed mouth" front grille in part because "Electric cars do not need a lot of air." The concept, therefore, clearly BlueZero PC most of the traditional three-star signs with the body color of the grid in accordance with section and the grooves on both sides of the plate with light-emitting diodes, pulse, to show that the electric car is a unique individual. Grilling, even a little earlier in the eye, so Wagener, a former Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.
Nature has been a great influence on the outside and smooth communication between lightweight design and aerodynamics. Two strong indicators that are at sea BlueZero rear-wheel drive, and refers to the clear Lexan polycarbonate rear hatch.
Inside the theme continues to see through the translucent material, has the door and instrument panels to show the air is filled with a light structure. Wagener hopes that the development of the acquisition of young consumers to the brand, and especially recommended. The whole package - inside and outside - a far cry from Mercedes current output, but most of the functions of production, in which it was enough to leave the traditional conservative brand.
Audi Sportback
On the basis of a new generation platform A6, the 2009 Audi Sportback concept conceptual - but leery of production is possible - the answer to the Mercedes CLS, which measures long, 4.95, 1.93 and 1.4 of a million. Surprisingly, however, the coupe profile is used strictly five door hatch in the four-door sedan.
Developed under the direction of Audi design chief Wolfgang Egger, sport back in 2008, the concept of A1 Sportback six-point, shield-shaped grille and the huge horizontal recording on this page, with some details, most of which, of course, the elimination of vertical bar grille. Egger, confirmed that a "new face" Audi.
German designer spoke about the impact of architecture in the design and the role that he is, "Tornado" (the low point for the front arch up to the old ones) in the creation of tension in the car round. A strong character line is also in line with other models of Audi, but the sharp reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases on the back.
At the back Sportback very wide and flat, with a U-shaped glass, like the TT coupe. The idea of thin deck spoiler and concave inside of the slope at the back also goes back to the sports car-1960's, said Egger.
The interior is not less successful, with the four dimensions of the seats, cushions and cream beautiful wooden slats on all points of contact, the driver (including the steering wheel), and a broad, shallow center console, under the floorboards. Unfortunately, padded seats, and not so little from the tree further weaken a coherent and attractive design of a luxury coupe.
Cadillac approach converges
Cadillac converges concept was a surprise addition to the new car unveilings GM. Developed at the GM Advanced Design Studio in Britain under the leadership of Simon Cox, the angle of aesthetics adorns a foreign vehicle smaller CTS Coupe concept is seen in Detroit last year, with a slope of proposals, accidents Beltline expressed his shoulder, and type 2 2 Attributes very dynamic.
Robin war for lead designer said EUR perfected the concept of how the structure of language and concepts Sixteen hundred by introducing softer aesthetic, no less elegant and luxurious. "This relationship is something new Cadillac. Cadillac always car back", Kreiger said: "The problem with this car is not something that looks like a car, because the economy is not something that is associated with luxury." Appearance Manager Brian Smith told us how the grid has been amended to include a final drag undiluted Cadillac personality.
Interior Philosophy, Ben Walsh and David Leary and supervision of the Director of Interior Design, Jeff Perkins, was the creation of a technologically advanced and richly appointed cabin. Center stack contains a transparent relationship enabled HMI and rivers for the period of investigation, and the battery is considered the center console stresses futuristic electricity. The essence of the brand exterior established during the implementation of "eco-aesthetic" aspect of this material.
"Some customers want eco invisible, some want to acknowledge it as a kind of mobile billboards, Perkins said," For a car of this class, you must be authentic materials: metal, leather, something like that. "Ultimately, the balance between the environment through the sustainable and renewable materials, as well as the quintessential luxury materials buyer in the premium segment. The investigation period is the highest synthetic leather and brightwork is aluminum, not metal. Upholstery is made from compressed recycled wood and wool carpet.
Aprilia Mana X Concept
Who will buy all these bikes?
Here's the issue, the product planners and marketing personnel for each motorcycle factory in the world were asked to themselves, as unit sales, especially in large streetbikes, began to decline in 2007. While the proximate cause of the deceleration is evident, as the global economy lurches to a standstill, even in the best of times, sales of immersion. This motorcycle buyers are older, and fewer young riders take their seats. One solution is to ride bikes easier to aging consumers, therefore, burst trikes, scooters, and a large, powerful standards of another is to try to blow bold vision Wu young hipsters.
Aprilia tried both times in Milan this year with their Mana X concept. Based on the 850 Mana, it was at 90 °, 850cc V-Twin for a pair of super size CVT transmission. He keeps in Mana шпалери frame, but with a new internal braced swingarm. Wheels are laced seats in the rear get 180/70-16 Dunlop D427 is designed for Harley in FXDF Fat Bob! Braking is a wave-style rotors and Brembo type radial calipers at Mount Man, and Shiver Dorsoduro. The rear shock and muffler are slung below a la Buell. Styling is minimal, and chic, with more than a passing nod to American street trackers. This spare, aggressive styling and should expect from Aprilia design studio in Noale; he spearheaded Miguel Galluzzi, who developed the first Ducati Monster in 1992. "All that you need, how big, friendly Argentine cited by Ducati history website, is a saddle, tank, engine, two wheels and steering wheel."
Mana X is ready to bike, but do not have to wait in line at your Aprilia dealer just yet. This concept, designed to offer "a clear vision for the future" in the Mana family. The full line of CVT-equipped motorcycle? Perhaps not that MD readers are asked, but it may be one way of growing sales of large Aprilia bikes.
Nissan NV2500 concept
Nissan North America today unveiled the NV2500 concept at its Technical Center headquarters in Michigan. The van concept provides a preview of Nissan's entry into the North American commercial market in 2010.
"The Nissan NV2500 is a rolling idea lab - bringing a new perspective to the commercial vehicle segment," said Bruce Campbell, vice president of design for Nissan Design America, which developed the concept.
Measuring in at 5946mm long, 2012mm wide and 2438mm tall, the exterior design is highlighted by a wide grille, pronounced wheelarches, stepped roofline and an integrated solar panel on the roof. The concept also features 'multi-use' doors with integrated lower window cutouts and storage compartments: king-cab style on the driver's side, a 90-degree opening vertical door directly behind the front passenger door, and vertical 60/40 split cargo 'barn' doors at the rear.
Inside, the NV2500 concept features a '3-Zone' interior with a 'wall-less' mobile office/workspace design that includes a computer workstation, fold-down conference table, numerous storage compartments and an awning-style side panel that opens to create a standing outside workshop table. The interior elements have been designed to be multi-functional and highly durable.
