F1, 2010 Totally Change


For economizing reason and for increasing competition violent delivers among all teams, FIA as highest motorsport federation in the world launches new regulation for race in next season of F1 2010. in the beginning race season 2010 there are no F1 racer entering pit-stop for fuel filling. So they enter pit just for change tyre or repair. because of this new regulation, rule of about minimum heavy limit of car is even also added for 15kg to be 620kg. this regulation is apparently simple and really ever done in past 1994, but with engine that is decried up to 2400 cc from 3000 cc and configuration V from 10 to be 8 now must economical without filling fuel up to around 300km (average every series go through 300km). of course it needs cost not little by each team to redesign their car. in other side, change by change in every year is so much, include this year that applying KERS as new design and unfortunately, it was cancelled to be used because assumed, it will load more vehicle weight.

see following f1 engine facts:
- every litre can only go through for average 1.5 km (75 litre/100 km)
- every cylinder is limitted for the valve total (max 4 valve)
- RPM is limitted only until 18,000 rpm
- engine materials (including inside part) is limitted only from iron and alumunium
- energy produced must be 700 up to 780 hp (v8 2400 cc)
- velocity: 0 - 100 km/hour: 1.7 second
0 - 200 km/hour: 3.8 second
0 - 300 km/hour: 8.6 second
- speed maximum recorded Monza, Italian 360 km/hour
- braking from 100 - 0 km/hour (till stop) only 17 m away
- the fact is like told above but the technology that is demanded is even also tighter. Engine is decried and limitted but cost estimation and fuel even also depressed. this development is surely not economizing for all teams

The Worst Cars

Vehicles Feature
The Worst Cars Of All Time
Dan Lienert

Click here for the slide show.
The current lucky generation of automotive customers has no real understanding of how truly awful a car can be.

Even entry-level vehicles and subcompacts these days are surprisingly well made, thanks to a revolution started mainly by Japanese automakers like Toyota (nyse: TM - news - people ) and Honda Motor (nyse: HMC - news - people ). Honda's first-generation Accord came out in the days when Detroit was producing real stinkers like General Motors' (nyse: GM - news - people ) Chevy Vega and Ford Motor's (nyse: F - news - people ) Pinto. Between that time and today, the Japanese proved to the world that just because a car was cheap, it didn't mean it also couldn't be a well-built, value-laden automobile that looked and drove well.

Why Ireland is so rainy and windy?

The dominant influence on Ireland's climate is the Atlantic Ocean. Consequently, Ireland does not suffer from the extremes of temperature experienced by many other countries at similar latitude.

Average annual temperature is about 9 °C. In the middle and east of the country temperatures tend to be somewhat more extreme than in other parts of the country. For example, summer mean daily maximum is about 19 °C and winter mean daily minimum is about 2.5 °C in these areas.

Mean annual windspeed varies between about 4 m/sec in the east midlands and 7 m/sec in the northwest. Strong winds tend to be more frequent in winter than in summer. Sunshine duration is highest in the southeast of the country. Average rainfall varies between about 800 and 2,800mm.

With southwesterly winds from the Atlantic dominating, rainfall figures are highest in the northwest, west and southwest of the country, especially over the higher ground. Rainfall accumulation tends to be highest in winter and lowest in early summer.

Five of the best new family cars for less than £20,000

Five of the best new family cars for less than £20,000

This week we're looking at that dullard of motoring, the family car. But wait: it's not so dull any more, as this list proves, mostly. Until recently it was evidently assumed that family buyers were interested in space and very little else. Got a family? Get a saloon. That was about the size of it. But times have changed. Everyone wants a bit of prestige these days, and nobody likes to admit that their car is simply a very utilitarian way of getting the kids to school and back. So, the car makers are coming up with all kinds of inventive ways to make family motoring sexy.

This week's list includes five great family cars, each of which will serve the singular purpose of being at least able to carry an entire nuclear family, but each approaching it in an entirely different way. Every one can be had for under £20,000 too, which we reckon is a reasonable outlay for a reasonably sized family runabout. And only one of them is a people carrier, you may be pleased to note.

Lamborghini Concept S specs


Lamborghini Concept S specs
Engine: 5 liter V-10 500 HP
Lamborghini Concept S concept car was perhaps one of the most awaited sports supercars at the Geneva Motor Show a few years back. Everyone had their expectations high thanks to the Lamborghini tradition of producing sports cars and supercars and they were not disappointed. Lamborghini stole their hearts and stole the show eventually with the introduction of Lambirghini Concept S. It is a concept car designed by the Head of Design at Lamborghini, Luc Donckerwolke. He considers this sports car an embodiment of the open car concept. He got a few awards for this supercar when it got introduced.

The sports car as such is great looking and has been modeled like the classic single-seated racing cars of the yesteryears. The traditional windscreen has been replaced by a 'sauté-vent,' which happens to be the French term for change wind. It goes on to divide the interior of the super sports car into two sections, giving it a slick yet aggressive look. It is so strategically placed that in addition to giving an awesome look, it also serves as an air inlet for the mounted engine which is placed behind the seats. There is an electronically operated rearview mirror which is mounted in the middle of two cockpits. It can be used by the driver when he wants and can be hidden when not used. The body of Lamborghini Concept S supercar is designed aerodynamically and it makes it more efficient.

Though based on the super cool sports car Lamborghini, the design team has labored hard to make this car look unique and hence a few aesthetically appealing changes have been made. The supercar's front and rear spoilers have been slightly remodeled and the twin offset grilles in an angular honeycomb pattern are just amazing to look at and rear of the concept car has been loaded with black mesh vents and the well-placed flush mounted tail pipes and the rear diffuser has been slightly reshaped. Simply put, when you look at the sports car inch by inch, the style quotient is evident everywhere and the design really makes you wonder how many hours of work went into come up with this kind of stylish look.

You would imagine this kind of a stunning supercar to have a dynamic engine and that is exactly what you get here. The 5.0 liter V-10 engine is the same engine used in the Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe. This 500 horsepower engine is very powerful and makes for one heck of a drive. The body of Lamborghini Concept S sports car is around 70 kg lighter than that of Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe, thanks to the aerodynamically designed body. It has an elegantly designed 6 speed manual gearbox and the engine has an output of 4500 rpm. With these kinds of features, you would expect a car like this to literally fly on the roads, and it certainly lives up to the expectations. You can clock from 60 mph to 200 mph in about four seconds, which makes it a driver's dream. If you are the kind of driver who loves to race his heart out, then the Lamborghini Concept S is just about the perfect sports car for you.

Alar, The Ugliest Lamborghini Ever



Lamborghini Alar

Lamborghini released first official photos of Alar, which could quite possibly be the world’s ugliest Lamborghini. We understand that aerodynamics are important, but to do that to a Lambo, well, that’s a crime. More photos after the jump.

BMW 5-series 2010

New BMW 5 Series

Could this really be the new 5-series? According to the article below, this model will be available in 2010.

When you think of luxury executive saloons, one car always comes to mind, the BMW 5-series. A class leader since its inception, the 5-series remains a crucial car to BMW. With the current E60 5-series introduced back in 2004, BMW is preparing the sixth-generation model to be revealed in 2010. It will be a tough job for the designers as well as the thousands of engineers working across BMW’s development centers to renew the current model, a car that already resides at the edge of the technical front line. The new design is critical for BMW’s design manager Adrian van Hooydonk and his team, who have to create an exterior that radiates the brand’s distinctive design values and at the same time feels new and fresh. Using information from various sources, these renderings were compiled by our partners over at Sweden’s Auto Motor and Sport and their illustrator Radovan Varicak, giving us a preview of what the final version will look like. The front-end will likely feature a more upright kidney grille in order to comply with stronger pedestrian protection laws, while the headlights won’t be stretched out like on the current model. BMW’s characteristic interaction between convex and concave shapes will still be emphasized, and will be clearly indicated in the engine hood’s lines.

Tips to Choose a Right Body Kit for Your Car


A Great Deal of trademarks and makers exist when you need to search for thorough Body Kits for a car. There exists a diversity of body kits to opt from, resolving on the best bodykit to opt for becomes a heavy ordeal. There are certain components you should regard though before you buy a Body Kit. A few of these elements may include the style you desire for the car body, how much you are ready to render and the sort of material you desire your Body Kit to be made of. If you wish for swiftness, then Carbon Fiber is the body kit you should prefer. Carbon fiber is very light weight and if you replace your car components with carbon fiber, there will be an increment in the speed time for your auto. Seibon, Carbon Creations and VIS Racing are just some of the crowning brands in carbon fiber BodyKits products and add-on.. Among the many producers of car Body Kits, theres only one trademark name that is notable of discussion - SEIBON CARBON FIBER BodyKits. Seibon is famed for passing boundaries with their advanced merchandises and designs. Profound inquiry has been done before definite products are made and serviced to the public. What makes Seibon carbon fiber Body Kits unique and appreciated is that they are made by hand. This makes the BodyKit more detailed and it is understandable that slight imperfections may be discovered only occasionally.

Another famed product from Seibon is their line of products in Car Intake System or CAI. The air intake represents a big role in a cars functioning and efficiency consequently it is also important to choose CAI as your cars air intake system.

BMW M3 GT4, a Car for Gentlement Racers




The
BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series compact car, developed by BMW's branch BMW M. M3 models have been derived from the E30, E36, E46 and E90/E92/E93 3-series, and sold with coupé, sedan and convertible body styles. Common upgrades over the "standard" 3-Series automobiles include more powerful and responsive (yet at times smaller) engines, improved handling/suspension, more aggressive aerodynamics/body, and multiple interior/exterior accents with the "M"/Motorsport nomenclature.

Although BMW's M division may have arguably veered off course with the recent introduction of the X5M andX6M, well-to-do M-ophiles may have something to look forward to in the form of a M3 GT4 available to consumers.

Campaigned at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring this past May, the GT4 variant of BMW's V8-powered M3 is fitted with all the race-ready kit you'd expect in something developed to tackle the Green Hell, including an Ohlins suspension setup, aerodynamic enhancements, a full roll cage, airjack system, race buckets and a modified engine and transmission. "It would be specifically for motorsport drivers," BMW's M division head, Dr. Kay Segler told Autoblog. Translation: Don't expect to see this car on the street – it's a trackday toy or competition-only machine.

Although the trigger hasn't been pulled, Segler said it's being actively considered. If we had to bet, we'd expect the GT4 to be available to gentlemen racers sometime in 2010.

Suzuki SX4-FCV, a Car Running with Hydrogen


Suzuki Motor Corp exhibited the SX4-FCV, a fuel cell vehicle based on its compact car "SX4," to the press and government officials at the Hokkaido Toyako Summit. Suzuki developed the Wagon R-FCV and the MR Wagon-FCV based on a compact car in 2003. In 2005, In 2005, the Suzuki Ionis hydrogen fuel cell vehicle was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show. Then in October 2007, the Suzuki Crosscage hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle was unveiled, also in Tokyo and the announcement was made that British company Intelligent Energy was supplying the FC. hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle was unveiled, also in Tokyo and the announcement was made that British company Intelligent Energy was supplying the FC. But, this time, the company developed another fuel cell vehicle based on its compact car "SX4," which is equipped with either a 1.5- or 2.0-liter engine. The output of the fuel cell is increased from the Wagon R-FCV's 50 to 80kW, and the motor output is also boosted from 38 to 68kW. Two 70MPa high-pressure hydrogen tanks are sandwiched between the rear wheels. Due to the small tanks, the SX4-FCV has a travel distance of only 250km. The distance is rather short compared with that of other recent fuel cell vehicles. The SX4-FCV mounts the fuel cell and the motor in a small engine room at the front, which is unusual for a compact car. The vehicle also mounts a high-capacity capacitor for regenerated energy in the trunk. The capacitor takes up almost half the capacity of the trunk. Hydrogen storage tanks is developed by scientists of Suzuki. excellence design of Suzuki SX4-FCV from its compact is more incidental . There are also capacitors able to get back the energy lost while braking the car. Then, Energy is used to help fuel cells to accelerate when the car accelerated "rapidly". As the standard version, SX4-FCV can still be filled by five passengers. One tank filled of hydrogen can be used for a distance of 250 km. The top speed can be reached at 150 km / hour. After the exhibition show, Suzuki SX4-FCV will be on public streets in Japan. For the development of hydrogen fuel, Suzuki cooperates with General Motors since 2001. Spokesman tell that Suzuki try to make Suzuki SX4-FCV production as soon as possible. The Suzuki SX4 series production is in cooperation between Suzuki and Fiat in 2006. This type of car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign studio. Suzuki SX4 was produced to replace the series of Aerio (for some place called Liana). In fact, the Suzuki SX4 is only in the series selling in Europe. But, in the development, the car is also sold in Japan, India, South America, Australia, South Africa, and North America. First car is introduced in the Geneva Motor Show 2008. For the SX4 series hatchback has produced at the first time since 2007. These series are introduced early in the New York Auto Show. This vehicle has been released in Japan, India, and several East European countries.

Antro Solo, a "Green Car" from Hungaria



As usual, automotive world is the world of German, America and Japan. At present,the news doesn't come from those nations, but it came from hongaria, a country that has no tradition in automotive side. The concept brought is about ”Green Car”.
Antro Solo, this future car name works with the mixture of diesel fuel energy, human and electric. not a new phenomenon really, but it offers something interesting enough, that is efficient fuel use, where one gallon of gasolin (1 gallon = 3,785 litre)s can pass through over up to 150 miles.
Built from carbon fiber, Antro Solo has only 270 kg weight. This little weight makes the use of fuel more efficience and more maximal. if usually hybrid vehicle is less of ability in the speed, Antro Solo can be relied on enough because it can run with speed up to 87 miles per hour or around 140 km/ hour.
Its roof is installed with sun panel to catch energy and keep it at a battery that can be used to run for about 15-25 km. if it run out of energy, reservist energy will be used. that is energy of manpower. under occupant seat is provided pedal to move engine generator. if the occupant feel tired and lazy to push the pedal, this car can still run by using oil fuel or ethanol.
produced massly in the year 2012, Antro Solo will be sold at the price of around 20.000.

Volkswagon Golf GTI, Modification "Sporty Flare in Black"


Love of art car modifying will become a fascination attractibility that will always give new concepts in modifying of car. This time, I will tell you my concept will hit car modification Volkswagon Golf GTI. This car belongs to elegant car style. It's difficult enough to modify it totally, but with a proportional modification, this car will be seen beautiful beside sporty and sure it doesn't leave elegant look in body kit, I choose lower body with elegant front spoiler with strips. The Front spoiler, I choose it because it give aerodinamics effect maximaly so that makes the Volkswagon to get the maximal speed. For hood, I choose a hood with Trident type . This type is very figure and good to be used by cars that want to change to be a sporty car . For rear body, I also permanently give elegant accent that same as the front body. Its strip body kit model looks really elegant and may be in most of the car that have big body look, strip model will like this even also be seen to be a car that keep elegant nuance . This thing can be tried you by yourself. Well, to present sporty look, I choose rim 20 inch. This rim is the O.Z. rim Superturrismo. Then, it is painted with black metalic color. By its appearance, this rim also add sporty nuance but also looks elegant because of its strip. The most important to promote sporty look in Volkswagon Golf GTI car that is in spoiler. I choose a tuner spoiler with Borra type . Borra type spoiler is purely gives accent of sporty. Most of modifiers avoid using spoiler in mini SUV like Volkswagon Golf GTI. Perhaps, they assume that the car is a big car and adding a spoiler will decrease its beauty. Perhaps, several type of spoiler installed in car cause ugly appearance, but you can see by yourself my modification concept looks pretty. NOTE: if you choose a spoiler for a car of mini suv like Volkswagon Golf GTI, so choose a low spoiler, don't too high because this car is tall car, so when augmenting with a tall spoiler, so the car will not looks pretty. besides, I add scoop roof on it with dual stream type. This scoop roof add sporty impression and its beauty. For visual, I choose black with a little flare decoration on both sides. This modification of Volkswagon Golf GTI, I name it "Sporty Flare in Black"

Scythe Exotic Car By GAS, Galpin Auto Sport

GAS, Galpin Auto Sports, is known for modifying some of the ugliest cars into golden stars, don't believe me, just watch Pimp My Ride on MTV. Watch as they turn this 2008 Ford Mustang Convertible into something out of this world.


This creation by GAS is known as the Scythe, an unusual name for an unusual car. When at first glance, you are taken by the soft,smooth body texture that creates it. The style is completely unique and the chrome very subtle but in your face at the same time.

"With Scythe, we set out to showcase all of our unique fabrication abilities here at GAS," Beau Boeckmann, owner of GAS, said in press release. "From the handmade composite body and voice-activated on-board computer system to the twin-supercharged 1,005 horsepower engine, this car was built to make a statement."

Now along with having a unique look and an insane amount of horsepower, it also has two steering wheels. The Scythe has dual automatically-retracting steering wheels, which are configurable for right- and left-hand drive should drivers want to terrify the British or use it to deliver mail. Interesting right? So what do you think of this masterpiece?

2012 Opel Ampera

2012 Opel Ampera Car Pics

The revolutionary Opel Ampera celebrated its world premiere at the 79th Geneva Motor Show. General Motors Europe president, Carl-Peter Forster, unveiled the extended-range electric vehicle and announced plans to put the car into production in late 2011.

The five-door, four-seat Opel Ampera is influenced by Opel's award-winning design language of sculptural artistry meets German precision, incorporating several styling cues from the innovative Flextreme and GTC Concept show cars.

The Opel Ampera's wheels are turned electrically at all times and speeds. For journeys up to 60 km (MVEG), it runs on electricity stored in the 16-kWh, lithium-ion battery, and emits zero CO2. When the battery's energy is depleted, electricity from an engine-generator extends the Ampera's range to more than 500 km.

Gracenote in Auto Products


Named by Motor Trend as the 2008 car of the year, the Cadillac CTS is the first car in North America outfitted with both Gracenote's MusicID® and Playlist™ products, providing a solution that not only enhances the in-car digital entertainment experience, but makes listening to music while driving safer and easier.

The cars that will likely set the pace in 2014


Expect these new models to hit the road in the next five years.

Everybody knows the auto world has shifted. The trick is divining which brands have got the gumption to last.

Now, with President Obama's new efficiency standards requiring a fleet-wide fuel economy average of 35.5 miles per gallon, automakers have their work cut out for them.

Domestic carmakers in particular are gearing up to battle forthcoming offerings from new-to-the-U.S.Fiat, with its diminutive 55.5-mile-per-gallon Fiat 500, and Chinese newcomer BYD, maker of the staid hybrid-electric F3DM sedan.

Motor City had better get cracking. It takes four years to produce a market-ready vehicle, and a typical lifecycle for one model is seven years. While we wait to see what brands emerge victorious, Honda's mod CR-Z and Ford's "eco-boosted" Euro models point to the types of cars we can expect by 2014.

Just don't get your hopes up for lots of choices when it comes to plug-in cars. Automakers insist there's still much to improve about the humble combustion engine, and they plan to eek out all the improvement they can get.

Tom Plucinsky, a spokesman for BMW, says the company will bring a gasoline-powered and highly efficient X1 compact SUV to market by 2014.

"There's no breakthrough," Plucinsky says. "It's all little things that can add up. We've made big advances over the last five years or so in the efficiency of the gasoline engine, but we think that there's another 10 percent there."

BMW will find that 10 percent by using smaller (read: lighter), forced-induction engines that generate more power. (Plucinsky says naturally aspirated engines will be relatively nonexistent by 2014). Ford and Mercedes have also said they'll bring 4-cylinder, turbo-charged engines to the U.S. in the next several years.

Audi has joined the light-engine surge as well, committing to building a next-generation S5 that weighs hundreds of pounds less than the current version. Audi's Bradley Stertz says advances in aluminum construction will lighten its load, making it more fuel-efficient.



In the meantime, Americans can expect a trickle of vehicles from afar. Italian-run Fiat and Alfa Romeo will likely have vehicles in U.S. showrooms by 2014. But the real news lies further east: China.

At the Detroit Auto Show Chinese automakers Brilliance and BYD ("Build Your Dreams") showed cars that could eventually reach the states, perhaps branded under a different name. Geely and Chery are other Chinese automakers with ideas for expansion outside the East.

Lincoln Merrihew, senior vice president of business solutions for market research firm TNS, says he expects a China-made car to hit in five years or less.

"It'll be a mixture of capabilities and bravado that will determine who comes in under their own flag," Merrihew says.

Asia leads the green-power front. Nissan is testing battery-charging networks in Arizona, saying an unnamed electric vehicle will go on sale by late 2010. Toyota says it will sell one million gas-electric hybrids per year during the 2010s; Honda President Takeo Fukui has repeatedly said his company is most-heavily endorsing hydrogen technology.

Still, no one technology has emerged the clear winner. Sara Pines, a spokeswoman for Honda, says the company is experimenting with several possible solutions. Others say the as-yet undetermined carbon-emission standards in California will largely determine how automakers move forward.

That uncertainty has basically created a level playing field. Now it'll come down to whether the upstarts can hang with the big boys.
