10 Cars with the Best Audio on Audiophile version

Porsche Panamera

Auto Trend - Right now, it's been a lot of car manufacturers who have been seriously working on their sound car audio systems. It does not even hesitate to embrace the top audio manufacturers to work together to develop the best audio systems in vehicles.

The car manufacturers are aware that the need for entertainment is currently not simply just good to hear, but more than that. Especially for audiophile consumers who are critical and have a high demand for a quality sound system.

Here are 10 cars with the best sound system according to the 'audiophile' in US, which released by the Popular Mechanics magazine.

Mafia Boss Collection

Alexander Surin, criminal drug also known as Don Car Leone. He had just caught at the weekend. Amazingly the Don is like the expensive and luxurious car. Starting the car reaches millions of dollars. Class not only owned the Ferrari, which was found by police in part below:

Bugatti Veyron (x2): $ 1,680,000 ($ 3,360,000)
Enzo Ferrari (x2): $ 613,000 ($ 1,226,000)
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé: $ 491,000
Rolls-Royce Phantom: $ 421.500
Ferrari 599 GTB: $ 318,000
Ferrari California: $ 220,000
Porsche 911 GT3: $ 125,000

Besides the car, he has a private jet to carry on business in Europe. The drug boss is ridiculous this ever appear on a car forum in April 2006. Using the name IceManBOPS. Basic bandits, the Bops boasted himself by displaying his picture with the cars and vehicles owned.

There's more of other findings, the police found 1.1 million dollars inside the vehicle.

Porsche 911 with Flywheel Generator

Porsche, SupersPort luxury car specialist, is currently aggressively developing hybrid cars. At the Geneva Motor Show early last month, Porsche introduced a three-car hybrids directly, i.e. 911 GT3 R (dragster), Spyder 918 concept car and SUV Cayenne S. Great, all three apply different concepts.

Two Motor
From these models, the most interesting is the 911 GT3 R. Configuration and components used, the difference compared to conventional hybrids. In this case, to store energy recovered from braking, do not use batteries, but the generator flywheel, which is placed, in the cockpit, next to the driver.

The greatness of this generator, capable of storing energy in the high density and can also remove it quickly. The ability to store energy generators, 120 kW (160 PS). Remarkably again, the charging energy of it only lasts 6-8 seconds.

Flywheel generators of electrical energy, when used, were sent to two electric motors mounted on the front wheels. Setup motor is also capable of generating power 60 kW (80PS). Power electric motor is used only in addition, to help work the main drivers, namely 6-cylinder gasoline engine, boxer, 4.0-liter, 480 PS mounted on the rear.

Flywheel generator technology is actually similar to the Kinetic Energy Recover Systems (KERS), which used F1 cars (this year may not be used). Porsche get this technology from Williams Hybrid Power.

40 000 rpm
Flywheel generator is an electric motor with a rotor that can spin to 40,000 rpm, the mechanical energy as an energy saving cycle. When the car braked, kinetic energy is converted electric motor on the front axle into electric energy. It can happen, because the motor to change tasks, from the electric motor becomes a generator. Furthermore, electrical energy is transmitted and stored in the flywheel generator.

The energy stored in the flywheel generator can be used anytime. But most often is when accelerated after cornering or precedes another car. Motorists can also do overrider manually, control the flywheel generators work by pressing the boost button on the steering wheel. Electrical energy from the flywheel generator directly sent to the electric motor on the front axle. When energy is taken, the generator slows down the electromagnetic flywheel.

Because energy is obtained without increasing engine speed, fuel consumption so thrifty. The amount of fuel carried may be reduced. Pitstop is much less frequency. Proof of this new technology gains made Porsche at 24-hour endurance race, in Nüburgring on 15 and May 16 next to the driver, Nico Hülkenberg, F1 driver from AT & T Williams team.

Apparently, racing cars can also be economical and environmentally friendly!

Porsche Develop Boxster as Sport Electric Cars

After successfully developing a hybrid system on the 911 GT3 R, supersportcar German manufacturer, Porsche, stepped into the driving power. More precisely, Porsche tried to develop electric sports car.

"Acceleration of electricity will be increasingly important in Intelligent Performance Porsche," the company wrote in a statement released this afternoon. Added, the development of electrical drives aimed at increasing efficiency, save fuel consumption and reduce emissions.

Added, the development of research of these electric cars as they do in hybrids, which is directly on the car that was produced. Further practical tests as part of a development step for the Stuttgart Region Electromobility model. In this research, they use three Porsche Boxster.

Third electric Boxster will undergo its first test which is very important, namely to know the electric drive components and systems needed new batteries for electric cars. Another target, identify and ensure the infrastructure for elektromobility, including car users habits and needs of product development at the future. The project will begin running early next year.

Michael Macht, the President and Deputy CEO Porsche AG, said the project is a contribution from Porsche in the development of electric cars. "Definitive, we will produce electric sports car in the future. The concept we developed is acceptable if the quality of the product being offered is a typical Porsche, "he said.

Electric flywheel
Previously, Porsche has developed plug-in hybrid cars on the 918 Spyder sports. As planned, these plug-in hybrids will be mated with high technological breakthroughs, namely motor fuels and electromobility. Reportedly also, the plug-in hybrid car Porsche produced a very low CO2, 70 g / km, and three liters of gasoline consumption for 100 kilometers. Sports car is capable of producing a total power 660PS.

No less interesting, Porsche has been using a hybrid system on the 911 GT3 R to racing, with the use of two electric motors 82 are mounted on the PS front axle. This is done by simply adding power eight-cylinder engine produced 480 PS mounted on the rear wheels.

Porsche 911 GT3 R of this hybrid does not use conventional batteries to store electricity and forwarded to the electric motor. Porsche flywheel system using rechargeable electric when the driver braked and then transfer it to the electric motor. This car has proved its performance on 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring.

Porsche 918 Spyder, 200mph Hybrid Cars

Porsche plans to make hybrid cars speed 200mph and 700-horsepower, 918 Spyder. And estimates of funds required to produce this car for $ 630,000, while making the Porsche 918 Spyder became the most expensive in history.

918 supercar was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2009 and there is no official information is scheduled for production. But in April, Wolfgang Duerheimer, head of production at Porsche, said if there are 1000 customers expressed interest in buying this car, they will consider producing it.

According to Porsche, the car 918 Spyder 500-horsepower V8 is equipped with two electric motors and extra 218-horsepower, which can run up to 100kmh (62mph) in just 3.2 seconds, with top speed of 198mph. In terms of eknomisnya, Porsche was able to consume three liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, or about 79 miles per gallon, and only 70 g of carbon dioxide released per mile. As a match, the Toyota Prius T3 Hybrid took out 89g/km, and 4.6l/100km. Porsche Pricing has not been independently verified, at least they should make their best sampled previously.

Frank Biller, an analyst at Landesbank Baden Wuerttemberg, told Automotive News Europe that 918 Spyder Porsche could improve environmental reputation. Porsche is owned by Volkswagen, which also makes the Lamborghini and Bentley vehicles, some of the "Europe's worst gas guzzlers."
