Here, Offal Honda Revo Techno AT

What reason was making matic Honda Revo Techno AT has a good capability. The main weapon was found on motorcycle engine innards. What are its advantages?

Inside the engine room, flapping wing manufacturer brand logo is applying efficient technology and low-friction technology called EFT. Function, minimizing friction between components machine. The result, the machine working more optimal, efficient, and most importantly fuel-efficient.

There is a key point in the use of piston-textured (rough surface of piston) which is made of lightweight materials. This will alleviate the performance of the engine revolution. Rough surfaces can reduce friction between the piston and the cylinder chamber. Ends, more efficient fuel consumption.

Furthermore, the distance axis of the cylinder or cylinder off set against the axis of the crankshaft offset too close together. This condition also reduces friction on the piston. Technology or the trigger valve rocker arm is equipped with a roller also reduce friction with the shaft ridge or better known as the camshaft is in the process of ejection of fuel into the combustion chamber. Create minimal friction increasing efficiency in energy.

For the stability of engine performance, Honda has also implemented a double cooling system. First, the cooling air to the CVT is obtained from the air funnel. Second, cooling the engine room, which was performed with oil. Reduction of heat in the engine much more effectively maintain the temperature remains stable, particularly on road traffic jams and long trips so it is more durable and long lasting.

The position of the air funnel located above the surface of the engine-out work set the incoming air in the engine. In addition to cooling the engine, a position it also reduces the risk of entry of water into the engine. This is to maintain maximum engine performance.

"All the technology supplied by Honda in Revo Techno AT strongly supports the creation of a strong performance, but still economical. That's strengths," said Oni Setiawan Technical Service PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM), who is also Chief Technician Journey Smart Revolution.

2009 Honda S2000 Road Test: a true sports car for the driving purist

The best definition of a true sports car since the late John came Timanus, successful athletes in the 50 and 60 and for a long time technical director of the sports car club of America: "A sports car is a motorcycle with four wheels." This is a Honda S2000.

As a motorcycle, sports car drivers feel as if he was on the machine: Superman, coat flapping in the wind. As a motorcycle, sports car requires a qualified pilot, to optimize performance. A true sports car light: The S2000 curb weight of approximately 900 kg less than the broker Cup Sprint. A sports car for the manual transmission. The beginning of a convertible, although not necessarily to earn extra points. A sports car, no more horsepower, but a genuine sports car can be faster Bergstraße freedom, the largest and most critical failure to compensate. In S2000 exceeded all expectations genuine sports car. And one more: a sports car that makes you a real race.

Long time ago I tried to Comptech Racing Reynard-95I Honda Indy car. Driving in the 2009 S2000, I returned to the carbon tub. In the S2000 digital dash is almost a copy of this corridor. The driver and the S2000 is tense. We should not cut as short as one or Indy cars, in spite of the best in the butt is overcrowding S2000. Indy, like a car, one foot coordination S2000 for the rest of the movement. Contributions will be inevitable.

As Indy car, S2000-237 hp 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine does not have much torque at low speeds and has not reached its peak 162 pound-feet to about 6800. / Min. Any car or Indy S2000 sweet smell of the place of steam Banda, run the engine revving ability, like a madman. For maximum acceleration, there are many emotions that the right of the steering wheel, between the layers of the S2000 six-speed manual gearbox.

Dry in a public place, making it difficult to compare the S2000 sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE050s somewhere near the border. But little rain had led me back to my Indy car. As a knucklehead, I turned on the stability and control over the S2000 in the attack started at about 4000. / Min assertive. It was only a hint of wheelspin as digital tachometer lines at the top of the dash. As a result, the tachometer red line I drew on the precise, short throw change completely withdraw gas. Rear tire burning as Reynard-Honda, if it is rough on the accelerator. Fortunately, S2000 Torsen limited slip helped prevent the spread back.

I repeated this in the next two or three upshift and a little more wheelspin. In S2000 and then told me, as a CART car: "Be more gentle, or you are a fool." In effect, after a little over 14 years, I thought it was not necessary to work with the S2000 with Redline in third countries. In the rain. In public. Instead, I went to a few off-the rise of left-handed hair faster than caution. Well, fast enough for the doll jewelry chromium by the police, and was defeated by a small and easily catchable tail slide. If the return set, you'll need every bit my desire not to open. Old habits die hard.

The first edition appeared in 1999, S2000 than 2000 models. At the 2.0-liter engine was suffering from a high maximum torque. In order to maximize drag-race style of acceleration necessary to pull the auto-start in style. The driver kept the accelerator and clutch to the ground, and jump to the 9000 engine rpm limiter, sidestepped the clutch. S2000, that sooner then rotate the tire and a half turn until the engine stalled at the maximum torque. Then he came to life. It was not easy on your computer, just to quote the philosopher Tina Turner, which is nothing nice and easy ... It is always nice and hard. With the new 2.2 liter engine, the best time to adapt to a more reasonable 4500 rpm or so.

In the S2000 is very true sports car that would be a cult legend that in 1969 or 1979 or even 1989th Unfortunately for him, when we love S2000 truck with three tons (also known as off-road). Nevertheless, this is a genuine sports car.

Honda in the United States

Honda, Honda-Technology Research Institute Company Limited, is an example of the largest in the Far East, car, bicycle and truck manufacturers. According to contemporaries, Honda is currently the fifth largest car manufacturer in the world.

At the same time, Honda is the biggest, the largest producer of machines around the world. Honda is one of the trademarks registered in the United States and is well away from the most reliable manufacturer in the world.

Honda Soichiro Honda in Japan in 1948 and began motorcycle. Since after the Second World War in Japan, it was very stressful, low-cost cars to its growing population, Honda Motorbikes are a big success.

The company has expanded its range of motorcycles, and soon became one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the East. While Honda car first appeared in 1960, it was not until 1970 that Honda imported its first car model, the small N600 in the United States. After the Second World War, because America is not inclined to products from the east, Honda makes it difficult to regain the trust of Americans from their vehicles.

In 1973, Honda Civic, launched in the United States, but perhaps his best-selling car in the world. Citizen offers enough space and provides a powerful fuel that soon became a Yankee success. World is experiencing a fuel crisis in the early 1980's, became a vehicle Civico U.S. citizens is necessary, because it was cheap, reliable and offers good fuel economy.

In the Honda Civic in 1973 as a surgeon. The first Honda car to see the Yankee and the public when the company has witnessed sales in America.

In 1976, Honda has a secondary vehicle for treatment in the United States, as well as the economic situation in the world is beginning to improve, little has changed in that success. In mid-1980, Honda in the United States as a carmaker, which is very reliable and technologically advanced vehicles.

Moreover, the cars Honda is one of the major successes in the United States won in 1989 model Honda Accord with the hallmark of America's favorite car. Like other Japanese car manufacturer Honda cars Honda Division 2 makes cars and prefer to Acura, the luxury brand of Honda and its dealers have begun selling Acura model in the beginning in early 1990. Population and viewing a great sports car had to choose another brand. Technologies such as the Honda VTEC (which stands for variable valve control), aluminum engines and hybrid engine company into one of the best selling brands in the U.S. East.

Currently, Honda offers the U.S. is huge, even the model of sports, family sedans, SUVs, minivans, pickups and hybrid cars based on their inventions and technologies used Hondas in the world, has a reputation as a reliable and car insurance.

Honda are also a number of facilities and construction of refineries in the United States, and for the development of technologies (eg, Honda in Raymond, Ohio) and production of vehicles, both at the Honda plant in East - Liberty, Alabama, where the company's construction of Civic sedan, coupe model for Honda Civic and CR-V SUV.

Honda CR-V

Honda introduced the details of the new CR-V, which is located inside Paris at the end of this month. It is aimed at drivers and the D-sector saloon, improved technology and the latest Honda technology security. In the last two generations of CR-V is based on the latest platforms and Civic model is a new concept, which should, on the basis of a new civil architecture in the past year. The lower center of gravity (up to 35 mm) above (an increase of 30 mm), as well as some changes in direction, and suspension geometry is CR-V in the treatment.
Honda CR-V (2001-06)

Specification
Two engines will be from the start, 2.0-liter petrol engine or a 2.2 diesel. 2.0L petrol engine in the new 1.8-liter SOHC VTEC-I civil and VTEC, and the latest technology to reduce friction as well as delays in the completion of tenure of valves in conjunction with an open throttle at low load driving conditions. Maximum power: 150 hp at about 6200. / Min (less in the turnover from the current 2.0), and torque 190Nm (140lb.ft) at about 4200. / Min.

Gasoline models are equipped with new items: All the 6-speed manual gearbox, while the 5-speed automatic gearbox is also available. The efficiency of the engine, with improved aerodynamics and new gearboxes, can fuel figures. Yield above, and from 0 to 62 miles / h time of 10.8 to 10.2 seconds (manual) and 13.1 to 12.2 seconds (automatic). Honda celebrated 140PS 2.2-I-liter diesel CTDi continues, but how to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of 12 percent fuel economy improvement.

Although the capacity of the road CR-V is much improved, its off-road ability is well adapted to the revised version of the real-time, 4WD system recognizes that before the wheels and immediately transmits torque to the rear. The new double-pump system can be 20 percent more torque per unit there. 4WD This facility not only in the light off-road driving, but also contributes to the stability on the road - in snow or other slippery conditions, for example.

Two active safety systems in the new CR-V, which states that only the SUV segment. First, the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a radar-controlled cruise control function, the distance from the car, while the brake system, mitigating the effects of collisions (CMBS) predicts collisions and warns the driver to the heavy braking and retracting the front seatbelts, if the situation becomes critical. Active front lighting (AFS) - turning headlights, taking into account that the road in the direction of the vehicle - is also reflected in the CR-V, for the first time as helping the sustainability of the trailer (TSA), which together with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) that provides the trailer is continuously monitored to ensure the safety and correction. Tractive force at the CR-V diesel is now very competitive 1500 to 2000kg.

Design
Design of the new CR-V is a complex type of car profile that is much more style than in the previous CR-V, especially in comparison with the previous, slab-sided model in 2001, in particular, soft (but actually very good sold). Bodyside extraction has deep lines from the bottom of the body and gently sculpted sides prominent wheel arches. As the car more dynamic - underlines the wide track car, as well as 17 - or 18-inch wheels - remember, the common theme of little outgoing BMW X5.

Front surprising part of the design, with a distinctive double grille as the center, parallel to the projector-type headlights and large bumper. Back more than usual, with a vertical taillamps, but now with a slope in the rear window, and especially emphasize the sporting aspect of the new CR-V. Spare wheel was attached to the back of the floor (as in the new Freelander 2) and the rear of the fuselage is to use this room, now хетчбек instead of the usual side-opening doors.

Although the coupe-DLO, as the decline is the largest remaining old CR-V, which is not one card, having seen before in a few years, Honda Stream and the Renault Scenic. Others have taken advantage of the off-road coupe-like profile of the car, Infiniti FX, Lexus RX300 and the Audi Q7, but all have one or two classes at the CR-V, and it is interesting to see the current slide in the compact SUV model for the first time.

Inside the cabin, accommodation remains generous and the sizes are similar to the previous CR-V. Design of the agreement signals and civilian models also blue lighting instruments, 3-spoke steering wheel, metal inserts in the doors, dash, and the contrast with soft textured black trim. Front seats have longer and more convenient, and the steering column can be regulated by REACH and the rake. Switching gears, based on the center console, brings it closer to the steering wheel and creates more space. More flexibility in support of the new "double-deck cargo hold, the platform, which is at a height of 330mm above the cargo area. It means luggage can be, at that low level, easily accessible.

Conclusion
Outgoing model sold in all markets, set new standards in the compact SUV was seen as a representative of the vehicle for its impressive road manners and versatility. The latest CR-V aims to be even better on the road, the interior is even more complex and more practical, especially for towing. CR-V has always been one of the "self-defense as the SUV market, with claims of high capacity and Offroad market increasingly crowded, Honda has adjusted to the new car chief, a high - technology leadership, a strong personality and is moving to a compact SUV step further.
