Audi R8 E-tron Sets World Record at Nurburgring

Record for the Audi R8 e-tron: 8:09,099 minutes for the Nordschleife

The Audi R8 e-tron has been established on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the hardest race and test track in the world, the best time for production vehicles with electric drive. Race driver Markus Winkelhock drove the purely battery electric-powered high-performance sports car in 8:09,099 minutes over the 20.8 kilometer circuit.

After the overall victories in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and at Le Mans, Audi has therefore set a further milestone in its history. How impressive is the reaching time of 8:09,099 minutes, the comparison with the fastest lap so far stalled in production vehicles. The best value of 7:11,57 minutes was achieved with a Gumpert Apollo Sport, which is powered by a 515 kW / 700 hp Audi engine.

Audi R8 E-tron , which generated Markus Winkelhock on the Nordschleife record drive is in all details the standard model, the end of the year comes on the market. His two electric motors combined give 280 kW / 381 hp and 820 Newton meters (Nm) of torque: At the rear wheels is almost from a standing start to over 4900 Nm. The Audi R8 e-tron accelerates in 4.6 seconds from zero to 100 km / h Its top speed is usually limited to 200 km / h, for the record lap was 250 km / h released.

The lithium-ion battery of the R8 e-tron stores 49 kWh of energy - enough for about 215 kilometers of driving distance. His T-shape allows it to be mounted in the center tunnel and the area between the passenger compartment and the rear axle. In the coasting and braking, he is charged by regenerative braking. The lightweight body of the Audi R8 e-tron is composed mainly of aluminum and CFRP components, it greatly contributes to the high-performance sports car, despite the large battery weighs only 1780 kg.

For the series production of the R8 to emphasize e-tron, Audi has set up beside the best time on the Nordschleife, another record. Right after Markus Winkelhock drove a second Audi R8 e-tron, which was limited to 200 km / h, two laps in a row. Both are 8:30,873 and 8:26,096 minutes to well below the nine-minute mark. "Of course, the R8 e-tron racing car with no aerodynamic aids, but a production car," says Winkelhock. "But he brings with his low center of gravity and weight distribution, rear-stressed with high athletic qualities. The torque with which the electric motors pushing uphill, beats everything I know."

2013 Alfa Romeo 4C back to the U.S. market

The last new car Alfa Romeo was officially sold in 1994 in the United States. After that, the Italians moved out of the U.S. business. Now take the long awaited re-entry of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. market forms. Such as "Automotive News" reports, it should be in the first half of 2013 so far.

With its spearhead, the model built at Maserati 4C want to make the Italians, the Americans directly in the heart of their car and convince them of the emotional Italian cars. This they succeeded once before with the Alfa Romeo Spider-round stern, which gained after the movie with Dustin Hoffman leaving examination in 1967 achieved cult status in the United States.

But the awakening will of the emotions with the 2013 Alfa Romeo 4C sports car is only one side of the business. Even if it were possible for. The other consists of hard facts. The repeatedly postponed entry to the U.S. market is dominated by economic imperatives, which must be achieved. Has since formed an alliance with Chrysler, Fiat, seeing those who set the conditions for a successful comeback, however, increased significantly. At the same time it is for the young partnership, the biggest challenge. Thanks to partners at Chrysler dealers for the distribution level, everything is ready.

Fiat's management is hoping secretly that the Alfa Romeo brand in the group can play a similar role, such as Audi within the VW family. Audi provides 40 percent share in VW profits in the U.S. and within the group embodies the technology substrate. With the sporty 4C, the Italian-American community is aimed at customers in the camp of the BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK and Porsche Boxster drivers. On the modular platform of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and Dogde Dart will then be presented in the second half of 2013, the new Giulia is expected to reach the European market in 2014 America. Currently, the Italians do not tell where they want to build the new Giulia, whether in Italy or the United States. As a favorite is the U.S. production.

2013 Mercedes-Benz A Class

The third-generation A-Class in September 2012 in the trade.

The compact premium segment worldwide is becoming increasingly important with the new 2013 Mercedes A-class would like to get involved properly in this segment from autumn 2012 and presents a completely new A-Class.

The engineers had the opportunity to work with a blank sheet of paper in the planning of the 3rd Going generation A-Class. This should be the new A-class in any case be very different than the predecessors to appeal to a wider audience.

The second generation Mercedes could reach rather more staid term especially with the new A-Class you would like to make Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and the new Volvo V40 alienate customers.

Mercedes says that it is serious about his challenge, you can see at first glance. A fully styled by A-class Mercedes for going with unusual athleticism to the starting line was born.

To continue to provide for any potential buyer a suitable A-class model, we have also created various equipment lines. With the lines of "Urban", "style" and "AMG Sport" and the three design packages ("Night", "exclusive" and "exclusive AMG", the new A-Class can have from the start, make very individual.

In addition, numerous options are available, the cars are so far only been available gehobenerer classes, such as an adaptive cruise control, PreSafe, the Intelligent Light System or electrically adjustable leather seats with memory.

Comprehensive safety features round out the positive first impression for the new A-Class continues to decrease. As standard, the Collision Prevention and Attention Assist Assist provide more security. The Collision Prevention Assist warns the driver may be distracted from obstacles and prepares the brake system even for emergency braking.

This can score the new 2013 A-Class not only looks at the young, strong purchasing power target group, is to sell it a full iPhone integration, where you hear his music from the phone in the car, facebook news, the phone on the vehicle display can use. A version for Android is already in the pipeline, but will still have something coming.

To start, there will be 1.6 to 2.0 liter gasoline engine with an output between 122 hp (90 kW) and 211 hp (155 kW) and 1.5 liters to 1.8 liters of diesel engines with an output of 109 hp (80 kW ) provide up to 136 hp (100 kW). The 170-hp diesel will follow at the end of the year.

All engines have the BlueEFFICIENCY technology and are extremely economical way. The best value achieved while the base diesel with 109 hp, which is to come to a consumption of just 3.8 liters. The CO2 emissions in this case is only 98 g / km.

On request for the new A-Class instead of the 6-speed manual gearbox, the new 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox, which is equipped with the software from the SLS AMG, and so provides lightning fast gear changes. In a first exit we could have the A 220 CDI with its 170-horsepower diesels and the top model in the preliminary series, the A250, get to know.

As sporty looks, the new A-class outside so athletic, it also goes further in the interior. The test vehicles are AMG sports seats, sports trim with comfortable including integrated headrests, a generous use of carbon-look trim components and soft-touch surfaces.

Which now provides built-in automatic selector lever on the steering column for the double-clutch gearbox in place of the center console, which will find a very comfortable center armrest and two cupholders and a large locker room.

Despite the sporty body design, there is enough room inside for passengers. Also, the trunk volume is 341 liters with dimensions remarkably abundant.

For frequent travelers, the new A 220 CDI presents an ideal companion, who can convince a lot of power from low engine speeds and the 7G-DCT gearbox. The sporty design of suspension and chassis should be chosen only by real sports fanatics, comfort-oriented buyers will have at the very sporty design no joy.

In addition, this chassis fits clearly better for the A250, the strongest start to the A-Class model. With an output of 211 hp, the A250 convince even die-hard sports fans. The sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.6 seconds and top speed is 240 km / h

On a handling course at the airport in Portoroz we were able to convince us of the excellent chassis. The A250 sports a front-wheel drive vehicle allows for breathtaking cornering speeds and remains even in extreme cases, even well predictable and controllable.
The maximum torque of 350 Nm is already available at 1,200 r / min and maintained up to 4000 rev / min.

But the new A-Class is only at the beginning of a true model initiative of the smallest Mercedes model. As early as the beginning of 2013 will come with the A45 AMG A-Class, the sportiest of all time on the market, which will also feature four-wheel drive. A little later, then follow other forms of bodywork based on the new 2013 Mercedes A-Class.

2016 BMW M1

BMW will be release a new supercars, called 2016 BMW M1.

The BMW M1 is one of the legendary sports cars of the '70s and is still remembered. Originally planned as a homologation model, the M1 soon developed into the favorites of the international jet set. With its flat body, whose design included sleeping eyes typical of the spirit of that era, the M1 does not remember baselessly models from Lamborghini, but he originally wanted to build in cooperation with the Italian sports car manufacturer.

2016 bmw m1

This ultimately was nothing but what the M1 success of the project but did not diminish. Much to the displeasure of many sports cars Friends BMW produced only about 400 models of the 286-hp supercar, which upheld the hope for a repeat over a period of more than 30 years. It seems as if one heard the cry in Munich now the die-hard fan base, since 2016, the legendary Bayern M1 athletes are born again and offer Audi R8 and Mercedes-Benz SLS forehead.

The known technical data of the second generation of the M1 sports car can be friends already, four years before the planned publication date in 2016, along the water in the mouth. An engine output of 650 hp, power transmission via the seven-or double-clutch gearbox achtstufigem and direct fuel injection are some of the high-tech ingredients, the new BMW M1. Whether the engine is a supercharged six-acting eight-or ten-cylinder engine is not yet known, but which aggregate ultimately in the M1 are also used, it is loud Development Department for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than three seconds and a top speed beyond 330 km / h to be good. To achieve these objectives will also contribute an extremely lightweight body and active aerodynamics.

Of course, in a high-performance cars such as the M1, the environment and so is not this also be equipped with start-stop system and braking energy recovery. Rumor say that 2016 M1 will be sold at a very high price start at $ 317,000 (about USD 3 Billion ). This should be so exclusive, the 2016 BMW M1, like his predecessors sought.

BMW reportedly working on a spiritual successor of the M1

MBW

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the M1, BMW released the Homage concept at the event Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d'Este in April 2008 created by Italian designer Giorgio Giugiaro who drew inspiration from the M1 and the BMW turbo, debuting many technical advancements. This development sparked off speculations on BMW's interest in developing a flagship sportscar or supercar to join the club of the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis.

All this while BMW has denied the existence or the development of a M1 successor. However according to reports on German publication Auto Bild and Automobilwoche, work is on for a spiritual successor that could take its public bow in 2016.

Auto Bild says the sequel to the iconic BMW supercar will feature a lightweight body made using materials such as plastic, aluminum, magnesium and titanium. These efforts will lead to a weight of around 1,250 kg for the performance car.

A turbocharged V8 engine producing 590-650bhp is expected to provide firepower, enabling it to hit a top speed of 330 km/h. In spite of such thrilling performance figures, the 2016 BMW M1 will not be a gas guzzler thanks to fuel saving technologies such as the engine start-stop system and regenerative braking that convert kinetic energy of rolling wheels into electric charge.

None of this information is verified, but we are keeping our eyes open for test mules, leaks or announcements.

Expect the proposed M1 comeback model to be priced at not less than $316,925 (1.16 million UAE Dirhams).

The feeling of sitting on a flying carpet, is one of the dominant brand of the British luxury car manufacturer. A Rolls Royce is just a stately vehicle owners should enjoy the best in the rear. But wait. For about two years, the 2012 Rolls-Royce Ghost is on the market. Clearly designed as a car for self drive. And yes, this Rolls Royce is an incredibly moving first and second active wonderfully agile car from the factory in Goodwood.

2012 rolls royce ghost 

Encounter with the extraordinary

Even for a motoring journalists, who may go in more than 100 new products in the automotive world, the encounter with a Rolls Royce, an extraordinary experience. In the south of Munich, we took the Ghost with the standard wheelbase on a cloudy day, unfortunately. Powerful effect of the ghost, but not nearly as big as a phantom standing next to. Strictly speaking, the Ghost, however, shows light-footed and almost delicately if that can be at a length of nearly 5.40 in general terms Sun

The oversized hood and distinctive grill painted matte. A set of as many ways to his Rolls Royce individually. It may be true from what is reported by the company: each Rolls Royce, which leaves the factory in Goodwood, is actually unique.

Fantastic feeling when the feet touch the enter after the Ghost of the lambswool carpet. It feels almost compelled to enter only the soft and cuddly barefoot base of deep-pile wool. Nevertheless, the enjoyment of the related with the finest leather furniture. Whether in the back or the front seats that emphasized easily give lateral support structures and the deep feeling of being immersed in the luxurious landscape of the Ghost.

Performance more than adequate

12 cylinder find room under the hood, which seems longer than the width of the prairie. Based naturally on an engine of the owner of the factory in Goodwood. The Bavarian Motor Works, also known as the BMW Group. 6.6-liter, twin turbo and naturally developed exclusively for the needs of a Rolls Royce stand, as a power source.

After pressing the start button you should listen closely because there is not much to hear from the engine compartment. Softly babbling with the 12-cylinder 570 hp, the huge torque of 780 Nm, which is at 1,500 revolutions per minute, the Ghost accelerates like a sports car. Takes 4.9 seconds of the sprint from a standstill to 100 km / h For a vehicle with an unladen weight exceeding 2.4 tonnes almost phenomenal. Electronically limited, as is usual for the BMW Group, is the Rolls h at 250 km / The average consumption will be 13.6 liters, a figure which we reached without any problems at our relaxing drive through the foothills of the Alps.

The eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF Friedrichshafen in support of high sovereignty of the ease of sensory acceleration phases. Without any effort of this machine which transfers power to the drive shaft and guarantees the sensual lose oneself on a flying carpet. The air suspension packed in cotton wool all the road bumps and enhances the oriental-inspired driving experience to further nuances. Quietly cruising, or even sometimes hard to press the tube. The Ghost dominated the entire keyboard. The sensitivity of the air suspension goes so far that it even compensates the change of position of a person sitting in the back seat. But the damper settings are calculated every 2.5 milliseconds new, is responsible for a variety of sensors.

Luxurious Pampering

Individuality has always been very important to Rolls Royce. This applies to the selection of exterior paint as well as the colors of the leather and the various wood veneers. The possibilities of his very own Rolls Royce will be configured at will to the extent that they would fill their own books. It is therefore in this report allows driving to present only a small essence of it.

For example, the lounge seat against two individual seats can be replaced. Perforated leather for cooling air to pass though to be in these seats as well as custom massage function. More pampering is illuminated by the cool box with built-in champagne glasses fashionable. Space for glasses and related culinary offer obscenities into the back of the front seats, built picnic tables. Of course, with the finest leather and wood veneer, matching the interior.

The acoustic benefit flows over a 10-channel amplifier with 600 watts of power to 16 speakers including two subwoofers mounted in the car floor. Who says that in a classic Rolls-Royce just heard. Throbbing bass lines are also in vogue.

Conclusion

Such experiences usually end automobile faster than is really wanted. With a Rolls Royce Ghost, in the truest sense of the word to float through the countryside, is deeply impressive, and leaves an indelible mark. Traces of which still need to make room for the multitude of other vehicles that are inevitably follow. It was a fun escape from everyday life, as has Alan Sheppard, Interior Designer, Rolls Royce, so well expressed about driving a Rolls Royce Ghost.

Therefore, the function displays are available that confirm the start.

Handling

Quietly hums the Lexus GS 450h, the first few meters in front of him. Up to 4 km range at maximum 64 km / h are the theoretical values ​​obtainable with a purely electric drive. Until the powerful V6 with 3.5 liters of displacement jumps and the sedan can quickly shoot an arrow towards the front. 5.9 seconds should be at the sprint from zero to the magic 100 km / h, top speed is 250 km / h

However, whether the constraint pushing the overall performance of the 2013 GS 450h of consumption specified by the manufacturer is 5.9 liters, may be doubted. To achieve this, it takes more than just a gentle foot on the accelerator, and finally to more than 1.9 tonnes are held in a good mood.

GRMN Sports FR Concept Toyota GT 86

"GRMN Sports FR Concept" said Toyota wants to study at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​29 June to 1 July 2012 to show what can be put in the new Toyota GT 86. Toyota's Gazoo Racing team has given the sports car a particularly strong version of the four-cylinder boxer engine. Usually the cause Saugotto creates 200 hp and 205 Newton meters. Help in the study, a turbo and a supercharger to the two-liter engine with an output of 320 hp and maximum torque of 421 Newton meters.

95 millimeters above the ground
For racing purposes, the study was a specially tuned sports suspension and bigger brakes. 18-inch wheels and an exhaust system with four tail pipes, wider bumper, rear spoiler and a powerful point to the features of this compact sports car. Moreover, the body was lowered, so that the concept car is now only 95 millimeters crouches on the floor. Inside the concept car has a roll cage, bucket seats and four-point racing harnesses. In the center console displays for boost pressure, and water and oil temperature were integrated.

For now, only one study
It was developed as GRMN Sports Concept Design Study for FR motorsports fans from around the world. Whether the super-car goes into production, will be decided. First comes the weaker version of the GT series 86 in September 2012.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

The most powerful production Jeep in the world
Comes with the new 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT to date the most powerful and fastest production Jeep on the market. Accordingly, demanding he does: the front spoiler with a mighty impressed air ducts for the brakes, in the hood, there are nostrils to vent. 20-inch wheels, wheel arches and a lowering by 30 millimeters make the car look like massive powerful look.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Competition for the Cayenne and M-Class
To understand a bold roof spoiler and a diffuser to give back: "Do not mess with me!" Addressed is the threat of power-SUVs such as the 525-hp and Mercedes ML 63 AMG or the Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 500 hp. And the two must have been a bit scared. Under the hood of the SRT puts a 6.4-liter V8, the powerful 468 hp and 624 Newton meters enormous approach creates. He does this with an exciting sound that pedestrians perceive as hissing rich, and we get deep inside a V-8 tubes to the ears. Inside the SRT is more like a flat cars, as a jeep. The sports seats offer plenty of grip, the steering wheel is flattened at the bottom, in addition, there is plenty of aluminum and leather.

Brute force out of the bottom
The high-revving naturally aspirated engine pulls the Jeep with the brute force of high-speed basement stairs. A stopwatch in the onboard computer automatically measures the sprint to 100 km / h - in the ideal case, there appears 5.0 seconds. The super-jeep reached a peak of almost 260 km / h takes, but on average, according to factory specification and 14.1 liters per 100 kilometers. With our streamlined test were 18.5 liters in the display.

Five-speed automatic transmission and Brembo brakes
An automatic transfers power to the permanent all-wheel drive, its five stages can also be changed using paddles on the steering wheel. The Brembo brake grabs too strong, 100 km from the car comes to a halt after 35 meters. On the serpentine route of the 2.4-ton surprised with remarkable driving dynamics. We can measure exactly the car with high speed and with almost no body roll through the corners, the steering is tuned directly.

Select - track system setup
The reason for the good cornering, adaptive Bilstein shocks and traction control, "Select-track": A rotary knob on the center console can we tuned suspension, throttle response and transmission shift points in five modes for race tracks, sporting progress on the road, slippery surfaces or towing a trailer or can be set to do automatically.

Conclusion:
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is a driving machine of a special kind It's not just from like Harry, he can also be remarkably fast and without wavering steer through corners.
