Morgan LIFECar to be presented in Geneva Press releaseThe green car that will deliver on performance and looks as well as emission reduction Now less than 12 months from reality, the British consortium involved in the project, which includes the legendary sports car manufacturer Morgan, QinetiQ, Cranfield and Oxford universities, BOC and OSCar, is on target to unveil the completed and running prototype at the 2008 Geneva show. The new vehicle, known as LIFECar will be ultra quiet, and its exhaust system will produce only water vapour thanks to its fuel cell converting hydrogen into electricity. The real challenge is to design and build a car that is fun to drive – a proper sports car quoted Charles Morgan, the strategy director for the Morgan Motor Company. The use of ultra capacitors to store the surplus energy and then use this for acceleration and braking does promise a dynamic ride, especially when combined with our ultra light chassis. The pairing of weight to a minimum is our strength, and allows a much smaller fuel cell than conventionally thought necessary. This gives energy and yet more weight savings Part funded by the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI), LIFECar has been a 2 ½ year project. The consortium hopes that the LIFECar will produce a combination of performance, range and fuel economy that should alter our view of motoring for the future. http://www.hd-car-dvr.com/truck-code-reader
The key to delivering this step change in energy efficiency lies in a combination of factors, including weight reduction and a different design approach. Costing a total of £1.9m, with a mix of industry and DTI funding, the two and a half year project has been broken down into the following areas of responsibility. BOC Developing the hydrogen refuelling plant Cranfield University Systems simulation , on-board computing and control networks Oxford University Design and control of re-generative electric motors QinetiQ Developing the proton exchange membrane fuel cell Morgan Motor Company Building the finalised design using light weight technology OSCar Overall system design and architecture Technical background The cars fuel cell system operates by electrochemically combining on-board hydrogen with oxygen taken from the air outside. Although in most respects fuel cells are more like engines than batteries, to the extent that they generate energy from fuel in a tank rather than store energy, like batteries, they use electrodes (solid electrical conductors) with an electrolyte (an electrically conductive medium). When the hydrogen molecules come into contact with the negative electrodes, the molecules split into protons and electrons. The protons are then carried across the proton exchange membrane to the positive electrode of the fuel cell whilst the electrons travel around the external circuit as electricity. The molecules of the hydrogen and oxygen are combined chemically, with water as the only waste product. The only emission from the QinetiQ fuel cell will be water vapour. The electric power generated by the fuel cells powers the electric motors and turns the wheels of the vehicle.

BMW Turns up the Heat with Driving School Upgrades Spring is in the air at the BMW Performance Center and Performance Driving School with updates to existing courses and exciting new driving school offerings. Additions include a track extension adding a different dimension to the high-performance M School that rivals popular race tracks, an other-roads course to showcase the capabilities of the X-5 Sports Activity Vehicle, and the return of BMW on Location. A totally new complement of motorcycle courses will also debut later this summer. The updates and improvements weve made to our numerous offerings this year will captivate the customer. Theres something for everyone - BMW owner or not, says David Trimble, manager of driving programs and events for the BMW Performance Center. High performance courses like the M School simulate race track driving while teaching advanced car control and safetyskills. Our other-roads track enhancements are phenomenal with gravity-defying angles that will dispel the myth that a luxury brand like BMW isnt made to get dirty. In with the New: Exciting Upgrades for 2007 The ultimate driving experience has gotten even better with the extension of the track at the BMW Performance Driving School, already known for its course that can be configured 35 different ways. The new 1.5 mile long track offers a half-dozen more configurations with a true racetrack feel that allows for more high-speed approaches and slower technical turns simulating a multitude of driving conditions. The newly revamped other-roads course will be included as part of the two- day school offerings this spring. At 1.4 miles long with more aggressive sections at 34 degrees and higher, the new course teaches drivers the safest approaches to difficult-to-navigate terrain and shows off the extensive capabilities of the X5 vehicle. Based on its popularity in 2006, BMW on Location, the traveling program that brings the BMW Performance Driving School to the backyards of enthusiasts has plans to go back to the California Speedway this fall. In addition to California, dates are being scheduled for early September in Chicago. The On Location driving school teaches exercises ranging from accident avoidance maneuvers and car control skills to more advanced exercises including skid pad, autocross, and high speed lane change and slalom courses. http://www.hd-car-dvr.com/launch-x431-scanner
In addition to the new driving school updates, programs such as the Performance Center Delivery will continue throughout 2007. The complete experience provides an introduction to the BMW brand and heritage. During a one-on-one session with a knowledgeable BMW delivery specialist, owners receive a personalized and thorough introduction to their vehicle. Every aspect of the BMW ownership experience is reviewed, from vehicle warranties and maintenance to safety features and controls. Following an in-depth overview of their BMW, owners receive a hands-on driving session. The package is complete with a visit to the BMW museum (subject to availability), overnight accommodations at a local first class hotel and dinner for two.

2006 Nothelle Audi A4 Sophisticated nothelle aerodynamic packages with sporty looks Nothelle tackles the external cosmetics with the aid of a comprehensive, in-house, sophisticated aerodynamic kits, which is mounted on the standard components without any additional body modifications.It consists of a front spoiler, side skirts, a rear apron attachment and a rear spoiler (one version each for the Saloon and the Avant), as well as optional fender extensions, which can also be fitted onto the standard wings with any body modifications. The rear of the A4 gets an even sportier upgrade when you order the nothelle diffusor. This is available either in the body colour or in sophisticated genuine carbon fibre.Sports suspension and matching footwear nothelle also provides matching footwear for the A4, with the companys own NOVEDRA VII SPORT wheels in 8.5 x 19" format. The one-piece wheel is impressive for its striking and extremely exclusive design, as well as its multi-piece looks.http://www.hd-car-dvr.com/launch-x431-scanner
nothelle offers it in three versions. The basic version is the "NOVEDRA VII SPORT", painted in Shiny Silver. The fine surface finish of the "brilliance edition" is achieved by means of an extremely elaborate ball polishing process with high-gloss intensification. Because tastes vary, nothelle also offers the "black edition" as a third version. The alloy wheel is also available complete with an ultra high-performance 235/35-19 tyre from nothelles technology partner, KUMHO.Naturally nothelle also takes care to ensure that all the extra power does not throw the A4 off the road. Thats why the Ratingen tuning company offers sport suspension systems. Either in the form of a comfort-oriented set of sports springs, as a complete suspension system or as a high-end solution using individually height-adjustable coilovers.Performance upgrades for diesel and petrol engines Nothelle gives the diesels a boost by means of chip-tuning or its N TRONIC BOX. The latter represents the intelligent power box for diesel engines, and is a supplementary control unit that will deliver a significant but not excessive performance boost when installed.Similar performance figures are delivered by the chip-tuning version, LEADERCHIP�, designed for the discerning driver with a desire for more controlled power. The vehicle releases its entire potential and yet at the same time remains supreme and respectable in its running characteristics. The engine offers significantly improved torque and increased power output with well-balanced figures. It is the diplomat among the tuning chips, with unfettered superiority.Of all the A4s petrol engines, the 2-litre TFSI is just asking for some muscle-toning. nothelle turns it into the highlight of its range. In the case of the turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, the conversion delivers a leap in power output up to a magnificent 310 horsepower! That makes it possible for the A4 to reach a top speed of 175 mph. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds will have many a 911-owner booking his Porsche in for a performance check at the first workshop he comes across.

2011 Dodge Durango R/T Exterior and Interior Similar in appearance to the Dodge Durango Heat, the Durango R/T comes with a load of features, including a sports-tuned suspension, new rear shocks, a tuned-up suspension, an integrated dual chrome exhaust system, an exclusive “Redline Red” optional exterior paint color, a unique monochromatic front fascia with a lower air dam and fog lamps, a new grille that comes with xenon HID headlamps, and a set of 20” wheels with all-season performance tires.Inside the Durango R/T, we’ll find a number of custom additions, including leather trim on the seats with a special “R/T’ stitching embossed on it, power driver seats that comes with a four-way lumbar adjustment, and the same Uconnect Voice Command and 506-watt Alpine audio system with 10 speakers that the Durango Heat comes with.Performance This is where the Durango R/T makes its money over the Durango Heat. Unlike the latter’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with an output of 295 horsepower and 260 lb/ft of torque, the Durango R/T is powered by the loaded 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine that produces an impressive 360 horsepower and 390 lb/ft of torque.With the added power, the Durango R/T beats out the Durango Heat’s towing capacity, 7400 lbs to 6,200 lbs. On the flip side, the Durango Heat’s less powerful engine allows it to be more fuel-efficient compared to the R/T. The latter comes with an EPA rating of 14 mpg for city driving and 20 mpg for highway driving.Pricing http://www.hd-car-dvr.com/truck-code-reader
The Dodge Durango R/T is scheduled to hit dealerships in a few months and those interested in making a purchase will have to shell out a minimum of $35,465.Competition Comparing the Dodge Durango R/T with an SUV like the new Ford Explorer is like Lebron James playing one-on-one basketball with a college freshman. It’s really not fair.Instead of the Explorer, the HEMI-powered Durango will take on an SUV of it’s own size or power: the Chevrolet Trailblazer.Numbers are pretty even between the two considering that the Trailblazer’s engine – an LS2 6.0-liter V-8 with an output of 390 horsepower and 395 lb/ft of torque – is similar to the Durango’s HEMI-powered 5.7-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 390 lb/ft of torque. Slim a margin as it may be, the advantage still goes to the bigger Trailblazer.In terms of towing capacity, the Durango R/T has the Trailblazer by the proverbial horns with a better towing weight of 7,400 lbs to 6,800 lbs.Take your pick between the two, although if you ask us, we’re going to give a slight nod over to the Durango R/T, only because it’s a much newer model than the Trailblazer. HEMI-powered engine is love Ridiculous 7,400-pound towing capacity Not a lot of aesthetic upgrades to make it stand out More fuel efficient offerings out there A little pricier than the Durango Heat

Audi R8 With the R8 launch, Audi is setting new standards on the Internet. Following the unveiling of the new sports car at the Paris Motor Show, the online presentation is now also getting underway. The R8 is to feature in a spectacular 3D film on the microsite (www.audi.com/R8). What sets this computer-generated film apart is that it is based exclusively on CAD data and was produced totally digitally on a computer. Thus the real R8 never once had to touch the road. At a ceremonial gathering in Frankfurt last Saturday, the Deutscher Designer Club e.V. (DDC) awarded gold to the R8 microsite in the digital category of its ‘Good Design’ competition.Rainer Gehrisch, CEO of Gehrisch und Krack Filmproduktions AG and member of the DDC, presented Dieter Kopitzki, Head of Online Marketing at AUDI AG, with the gold medal and praised above all the futuristic manner in which the R8 was presented in the form of an interactive 3D film. AUDI AG also received the DDC Grand Prix, the highest accolade granted by the DDC for outstanding work in the fields of design, communication, internet design and brand management.Furthermore, in October the microsite was bestowed with the title ‘Site of the Month’ at the Favourite Website Awards, one of the world’s most famous innovative web design competitions, thereby making it one of the hot favourites to win Website of the Year.The film, Dimension R8, forms the emotional heart of the microsite. 3D animations masterfully depict the R8 tearing round the racetrack, through the city and along coastal roads. Each 3D-rendered film sequence is assigned one of three chapters: Innovation, Design and Performance.http://www.hd-car-dvr.com/launch-x431-scanner
In between sequences, the film fades into interactive slow-motion scenes, during which the user can access information about the different topics.After a brief overview of the motor-sport origins of Audi, the Innovation chapter zooms in on the technical innovations of the R8. In the Design chapter, users discover the design philosophy behind the Audi R8 and can admire various exterior and interior views. In the third section, entitled Performance, more of the vehicle’s technical details are marked out, alongside its performance figures.After the interactive film, users are taken directly into a 360° view of the vehicle, where they can assemble their own personalised R8 using a paint and wheel rim configurator and select different perspectives from which to view the vehicle. The online presentation is rounded off with a download area offering wallpapers, screensavers and mobile-phone applications. In its first six weeks, a million people have registered on the R8 microsite worldwide and 40,000 have already used the download options.This fusion of the best of cinema and the best of the World Wide Web guarantees equally impressive product results. Dr Marc Cäsar, Project Manager of Online Marketing at AUDI AG, appears suitably satisfied: Our first entirely computer-generated film production has been a complete success. In a short amount of time we have produced a wonderful result. CAD data is the way forward for future vehicle launches.

2008 RSR Scion tC Press releaseScion today announced it will drift the RS*R Scion tC in Formula Drift events this year. Scions drift car is based on its most popular model, the tC sports coupe. The factory built front-wheel drive tC turned into a drifting contender through a rear-wheel drive conversion performed by acclaimed exhaust and suspension manufacturer, RS*R. The tC shares its platform with Toyotas Japanese market Avensis four-wheel drive and Caldina all-wheel drive, enabling it to undergo the conversion. RS*R used its extensive performance shop experience to change the tCs stock transverse engine configuration to a longitudinal setup in order to drive power, through the transmission and drive shaft, directly to the rear wheels. Scion has participated in motorsports for three years and the fan support has been incredible, said Jack Hollis, Scion vice president. Drifting is an exciting, emerging motorsport with a dedicated and intense fan base. Were looking to engage drifting enthusiasts and Scion owners just like we do in drag racing. We think the fans will be just as excited as we are about our RS*R Scion tC as it demonstrates one of Scions primary philosophies, customization. At this time we do not have confirmed plans to produce a tC rear wheel drive, but a lot of people will want to take one home. The RS*R Scion tC features a 3SGE Beams motor, HKS GT3037 turbo and intercooler, Blitz Dual SBC boost controller, and AEM EMS engine management system that outputs more than 400 horsepower, compared to the stock 161 horsepower. A G-Force five-speed sequential transmission, Tilton triple carbon clutch, Project Mu brakes, RS-R coilovers, Sparco Corsa seats and a custom concept wide body kit also make this vehicle unique. This tC will gracefully maneuver the track with Enkei RPF1 wheels and Toyo Proxes® R1R™ tires. http://car-diagnostic-codes.com
Ken Gushi will be at the wheel of the RS*R Scion tC. Gushi learned to drift at the age of 13 when his father took him to El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle Area in California. Gushi started his drifting career at the age of 16 and was the youngest driver to compete in D1. Now 21 years old, Gushi has further developed his skills and placed in many drift events. We think our first season of drift will be a knock-out, said Hollis. Weve got the talented Ken Gushi behind the wheel of one of the hottest tCs out there. The RS*R Scion tC, also sponsored by Toyo Tires and XM Satellite Radio, will make its first appearance at Formula Drifts Round 1, Streets of Long Beach in Calif. on April 12. The event will also be broadcast nationally on ESPN2. Gushi and the RS*R tC will also compete in subsequent Formula Drift events including Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga. on May 10, Wall Speedway in Wall, N.J. on June 14, Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nev. On July 12, Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Wash. On Aug. 9, Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. on September 13 and Irwindale Speedway in Irwindale, Calif. on Oct. 11.

1957 ALSI-1 The first Skyline was introduced in April 1957, under the Prince marque, and was marketed as a luxury car. It featured a 1.5 L (1482 cc) GA-4 engine producing 44 kW (60 hp). It used a de Dion tube rear suspension and was capable of 140 km/h (87 mph). The car weighed around 1300 kg. Prince Skylines were produced as four door sedans and five door station wagons.The Skyline also spawned pickup truck and van lines called the Prince Skyway. ALSI-2 The Skyline was updated with quad headlights for 1957. This model was powered by a slightly altered 1.5 L engine known as the GA30 OHV (1484 cc) producing about 60 hp @ 4400 rpm and was produced through 1961. This is the first four round headlight car design in Japan)S50 or BLSID In 1961 Fuji Precision Industries changed its name to Prince after the 1954 merger, and the S50 series was launched. This was the second generation car, and became one of the more desirable cars in Japan. It was powered by the G-1 engine, a 70 hp (52 kW) version of the old GA-4. An 1862 cc engine was also available, delivering 91 hp. In 1962, this model was restyled as the S21S series. The S50 was further developed with new styling for 1963, and was sold in some markets with an A150 designation.In 1966, Nissan and Prince merged and the S50 also appeared with Nissan Skyline badging. This model lasted in production through 1967. BLRA-3 The Skyline Sport featured hand-built Michelotti bodies in stylish coupe and convertible versions. These cars used the 1.9 L (1862 cc) GB-30 engine, producing 83 hp (61 kW). Only a few were built. S54 http://car-diagnostic-codes.com/motorcycle-diagnostic-scanner
Prince created a racing GT Skyline In May 1964. It was based on the S54 and used the larger 6-cylinder G-7 engine from the Gloria S40, though the engine bay needed an 8 extension welded in to fit the straight six. When it entered the 2nd Japanese Grand prix they hoped to win the GT-II class. Competitive against the Porsche 904, the Skyline managed 2nd through to 6th places.Largely due to the success of their race vehicle, the Prince 2000GT (also called GT-A, GT-B, S54A and S54B) was released to the Japanese market. There were two versions produced: S54A - 1988 cc G-7 single-carb I6, 106 hp (78 kW) S54B - 1988 cc G-7 triple-carb I6, 127 hp (94 kW) The B model featured three Weber 40DCOE-18 carburetors, a limited slip differential, 5-speed manual transmission, and power brakes. Both the B and A used front disc brakes with dual pistons. S57 The S50 Skyline was updated to become the S57 in 1967. It used a Nissan engine, the OHC 1.5 L (1487 cc) G15. At 88 hp (66 kW), it was the most-powerful engine in the Japanese 1500 cc class. C10 The C10 series of 1968, probably developed by Prince, got Nissan badging. There was no Prince equivalent on the market. It used Nissans 1.5 L OHC G15 I4 like the S57. A 1.8 L G18 version was also available.A station wagon variant was offered in this generation. A hardtop coupe was introduced in 1970. Skyline ALSI-2 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next page2000GT

Kia Design Boss Wants a Toyota GT86 Fighter Earlier Rumors The first rumors on a possible Kia sports coupe surfaced back in 2010 when Peter Schreyer, Kia’s design head, confirmed that a new coupe will arrive "sooner or later" as a new halo model for the company. As Schreyer was the man whom designed the high successful Audi TT we were pretty sure that the new Kia sports car will be a real success.Still, the years went by and Kia brought no new sports car. At least not until September 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show when Kia unveiled the GT sports car. We are not too sure if the GT will be put into production at some point, but it has been rumored many times that it will inspire future Kia models. In fact, back in March, Benny Oeyen, Kia’s boss of Europe, once again confirmed that the GT will inspire a new sports car that will be "a little less pure than the Toyota GT86, more of a comfortable cruiser."We cannot be sure if Oeyen and Kearns are talking about the same sports car, but it surely looks that way. The only difference is that one is reporting the model will be built on the same idea as the GT86, one says it will be better than the GT86. One thing is for sure though: a rear-wheel-drive coupe will indeed arrive in the near future.Kia’s Sports Car History.http://car-diagnostic-codes.com/launch-x431-master

Believe it or not, Kia actually did have a sports car at one time. Back when GM bought out Lotus, their new poppa wanted to see a Lotus that was more affordable. With that came the resurrection of the Lotus Elan – M100 Elan, to be more specific. This little eco-Lotus used a heavily modified Isuzu – yes, ISUZU!! – 1,588 cc engine that was available with or without a turbocharger.The turbocharged engine pumped out 162 horsepower, which was pretty stout for the era, and the naturally aspirated model hit 130 horsepower. This engine delivered power to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This combo sprinted the new M100 Elan to 60 mph in a relatively impressive 6.5 seconds.Well, after all of the crazy testing that Lotus put the M100 through, it finally launched in 1989 alongside the worst possible rival: the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Needless to say, the cheaper and sportier Miata throttled the Elan and it only saw a total of 3,855 units built (559 went to the U.S.) through 1992. When GM had enough with Lotus, it sold the company to Bugatti and the French builder scrapped the M100 Elan altogether.The Elan made a brief 800-unit comeback between 1994 and 1995. This Series 2 Elan handled better than the discontinued model, but it only had 155 ponies and took 7.5 seconds to get to 60 mph.So how does that tie into Kia? Well, Kia saw an opportunity and bought all of the relevant licensing to build the Elan. This led to the monster that was the for-Korea-only Kia Elan… It looked almost identical to the Lotus model, save for the revised taillights and it hosted a 1.8-liter engine that could only muster up 151 horsepower. Kia’s rendition of the Elan lasted from 1996 through 1999.

 GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner announced today that GM will build an all-new version of the Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe based on the award-winning concept that stole the spotlight at the North American International Auto Show and has ignited the passion of car enthusiasts around the world ever since – even spurring consumers to start petition drives and send in certified checks in hopes of placing early deposits. The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the Camaro Concept continues to remind me of the uniquely iconic place our products can have in customers’ hearts, Wagoner said. Camaro is much more than a car; it symbolizes Americas spirit and its love affair with the automobile.The all-new Camaro will begin with early production versions at the end of 2008 and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. The new Camaro will be almost identical to the concept, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the 1969 model, considered by many to be the best design of the car’s first generation, said Ed Welburn, GMs global vice president of design, who owns a 1969 Camaro SS.

http://car-diagnostic-codes.com/launch-x431-master

The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V-6 and V-8 engines.Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper said the new Camaro will appeal to both men and women, and unite customers with fond memories of previous Camaros with those who first experienced a Camaro when the concept was unveiled in January. We intend to make the all-new Camaro relevant to younger buyers while retaining its appeal to current fans, said Peper. The beauty of the best Camaros is that they have always been beautiful to look at with performance that rivals expensive European GTs. Yet they were practical enough to drive every day and priced within the reach of many new-car buyers.In fact, the Camaro Concept design team embodies the universal appeal that Chevy envisions for the car: The core team reporting to the lead designer ranges in age from 27-35 and came from all over the world, yet they all had similar experiences growing up with a love for the Camaro and American performance cars. Their concept redefines the Camaro for both existing and new generations of fans in a contemporary way with responsive performance and modern technology.Peper said Camaro will complement Chevy’s already-popular portfolio of performance vehicles led by Corvette and including its broad SS lineup.An American iconThe Camaro has touched many lives – and graced many garages – with nearly 4.8 million produced between 1967 and 2002. More than 1,000 Camaro clubs exist globally, and thousands of Camaro web sites pay homage to the sports coupe. A recent report on America Online’s Top Searches of 2005 placed Camaro in the Top 10 car searches for the year.
