Noble M600 supercar enters production

noble m600

Since 2008, we have been speaking about the Noble M600. It was officially released in 2009 and the crew at Top Gear UK got to test one before 2010. After that there was no news about it but Noble has finally announced the first M600 off the factory production line. This super car sports a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter Yamaha V8 with three power levels for road, track and race. An Adaptable Performance Control switch will vary the output between each level, letting the engine produce the horse power as needed.

Couple that with a curb weight of just 2,775 pounds, and you've a great recipe for 0-60 times around three seconds or less and an estimated top speed of 225 miles per hour. Only one's been built so far, but Noble claims it has orders for a full 50. At £200,000 a pop, the M600 should make the company a pretty penny assuming it doesn't take them a decade to deliver.

Nissan LEAF 2011 "Pure Electric Car First In US"

2011 Nissan Leaf is a pure electric car first offered for sale to the U.S. mass market. This 5-passenger, 4-door hatchback runs exclusively on electric power. The leaves come in two trim levels, base SV and uplevel SL. All use a 107-horsepower electric motor and lithium-ion battery. Nissan claims a maximum driving range of 100 miles. Leaves charging port can accommodate a 110-volt household outlet or 220-volt. It takes about 20 hours to charge from 110-volt outlet.
Using a special station at home 220-volt charging, fully charged takes about 8 hours. SL models are available with port "quick charge" that can charge to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes. The leaves come only with single-speed transmission that functions like automatic. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front-side airbags, and curtain side airbags. A navigation system is standard on all. SL model has a rearview camera and a small roof mounted solar panels, which provide cost drip into 12-volt batteries that power accessory items, such as the climate system.


The engineers and designers behind Nissan LEAF worked to create a competitively priced real-world car that would enable Nissan to lead mobility into the zero-emission era. To ensure comfort, spaciousness and cargo capacity, Nissan LEAF employs a completely new chassis and body layout.

"Our car had to be the world's first, medium-size, practical EV that motorists could afford and would want to use every day. And that's what we've created. The styling will identify not only Nissan LEAF but also the owner as a participant in the new era of zero-emission mobility," said Masato INOUE, Product Chief Designer.

Nissan LEAF's frontal styling is characterized by a sharp, upright V-shaped design featuring long, up-slanting light-emitting diode (LED) headlights that employ a blue internal reflective design that announces, "This car is special." But the headlights do more than make a statement. They are also designed to cleverly split and redirect airflow away from the door mirrors, thus reducing wind noise and drag. And, the headlights provide yet one more benefit in that they consume just 10 percent of the electricity of conventional lamps, which helps Nissan LEAF to achieve its world-class range autonomy.

Through bright trim colors inside, Nissan LEAF creates a pleasing and stylish cabin environment. An environmentally friendly "blue earth" color theme originates from the Aqua Globe body color of Nissan LEAF's introductory model. This theme is carried into the interior through blue dashboard highlights and instrument illumination.

Zero-emission mobility programs under the banner of the Renault-Nissan Alliance include partnerships with countries such as the UK and Portugal, local governments in the Japan and the USA, and other sectors, for a total of nearly 30 partnerships worldwide.

In these partnerships major efforts focus on three areas:
  • Development of a comprehensive charging infrastructure through public and private investment,
  • Incentives and subsidies from local, regional, and national governments, and
  • Public education on the individual and societal benefits of zero-emissions mobility.

2011 Chevrolet Volt Electric Sedan

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt. Powered by electricity without being tethered to electrical outlets. It drives gas- and emissions-free for most commutes(6). But if life takes you a little further, as it tends to do sometimes, the gas-powered onboard generator can take you wherever you need to go, giving you up to 375 miles(9) of total range. So you can just sit back and drive. Isn't that what cars are for?

General Motors has been working for nearly four years to bring the Volt electric sedan to the market, and, based on what we have experienced, the end result is an electric-powered sedan surprisingly good, brilliant technology. Four-seat Volt. 

Chevrolet Volt uses a large 420-pound, T-shaped lithium-ion batteries, installed right in the middle of the car, under the center console and rear seat, to power the car through a large 149-horsepower, 368 foot-pounds of AC electric motor with planetary transmission and transaxle driving the front wheels. Chevrolet says a fully charged battery will run an electric car alone for almost 47 miles. 


The battery, developed in conjunction with Korean LG Chemical, a leader in this technology, using a slim cell 288 is divided into four 72-cell packs. The battery has its own separate heating and cooling system to allow it to operate efficiently in extreme temperatures. The battery can be fully charged at the normal household current in 10-12 hours, according to Chevrolet, and with 240-volt charging station, in about four hours. Since the electricity tariff varies wildly across the country, Chevrolet is estimated from the cost of one night will cost $ 1.00 to $ 1.50 per day, far less than a few gallons of gasoline it would take most of the commuters get to work and back. Chevrolet will cost you $ 490 for rapid charging station, plus whatever your local electric power will be charged for installation, and some electricity companies are ready to offer discounts on installation to promote the idea. The first 4400 Chevrolet Volt buyers will get a free charging station.

When the battery depletion, the future felt by the electronic control system that connects the battery, motor, clutch, transaxle, and starter / generator together, starting 1.4-liter gasoline engine, and convert the starter into 55-kilowatt generator, which then supplies electrical power to the battery and motor so that the journey can continue.

The journey may continue for 9.3 gallon fuel tank runs out of fuel, which calculates the distance to be about 350 miles Chevrolet, or 47 miles on battery and 310 miles using gasoline to charge the battery. the battery is never completely discharged, and operated continuously between 50 and 65 percent of capacity, but this system is directed to preserve battery life and under extreme conditions of heat, cold and continuous duty. 


The 1.4-liter dual-overhead-Volt's cam, four-valve, fuel injection petrol engine is the same engine used in the Chevrolet Cruze, without a turbocharger, and rated at 84 horsepower at 4800 rpm. Because there is the possibility of a long period of storage of gasoline, Volt is built with the system, sealed pressurized fuel, and Chevrolet has determined that only premium unleaded fuel is used because it can stand up to long periods of storage without damage. There is a warning system that tells the driver to go out for a drive to burn every solution that has achieved fuel.

Although the Volt can be characterized as hybrid series by some definitions, is to affirm the Chevrolet Volt extended range electric vehicles with onboard generation, and that the gasoline engine, because it adds power via a generator / starter, never directly drives the front tires.

Battery Volt can drive in one of three modes, Normal, Sport and Mountain, both within the range Drive or Low in the planetary transmission, offers a lot of situational flexibility. Volt engineers suggested using low range all the time driving a car in heavy traffic bumper-to-bumper or other, so the brakes can be an additional electrical regeneration.

If the $ 41,000 price tag seems high, considering the amount of new technology and expensive parts on this car, and be reminded that there is a $ 7,500 federal tax rebates available, which dropped the price down to $ 33,500. There is also a federal rebate of $ 2000 on home charging unit. And some states offer refunds or rebates ranging from $ 2000 to $ 5000. Chevrolet Volt offers on rental prices of $ 350 per month, with a limit of 36,000 miles and $ 2,500 advances. While all vehicles carrying normal GM warranty (three years, 36,000 miles), the battery itself took eight years, 100,000 miles warranty.

Internal Combustion Engine Systems

Internal combustion engine combustion engines where the fuel (generally, fossil fuels) has occurred with the oxidizer in the combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine and high temperature expansion of the gas pressure, generated by combustion, directly apply force to move machine components, such as turbine blades or pistons and move distance, yielding useful mechanical energy.

The term usually refers to the internal combustion engine on the engine where combustion intermittent, such as the more familiar four-stroke and two-stroke piston engine, along with variants, such as the Wankel rotary engine. A second class of internal combustion engines use a continuous combustion: gas turbines, jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which is an internal combustion engine on the same principles as described previously.

Internal combustion engine (or ICE) is very different from the external combustion engine, such as steam or Stirling engines, where the energy sent to the working fluid which does not consist of, mixed with or contaminated by combustion products. working fluid can be air, hot water, pressurized water or even liquid sodium, is heated in some type of boiler with fossil fuels, burning wood, nuclear, solar etc.

A large number of different designs for ICES has developed and built, with different strengths and different weaknesses. Backed by solid fuel energy (which is very often gasoline, liquid derived from fossil fuels), ICE provides the ratio of the power-to-weight very well with little or other security weaknesses. Although there are still many applications and stationary, the true power of internal combustion engines in mobile applications and they dominate as power supplies for cars, planes, and boats, from smallest to largest. Only for handheld power tools they share part of the market with a battery-powered devices.

How to Save Fuel

While fuel prices may not fall, you have to find a solution so that your wallet is not too wasteful to use and care of the car. The following tips are worth your refer to:

Actually we can menghemar-free fuel that is by changing driving style. Four years ago (Auto Bild) has proven, just by changing driving style, fuel consumption savings can reach posteriority 25%. If calculated in a year, savings were worth millions of dollars.

So, do not get enough of auto bild put fuel-efficient driving tips like these:
1. Machine heats
Running a car with no heating at all as it wastes fuel because the combustion not ideal. Conversely, heat too long also means throwing fuel wasted. Modern Mobil2 requires only 30 seconds - 1 minute before running.

2. Keeping the engine rev
We all know the engine rev too high a waste of fuel. But do you know, round the same way too low. The ideal, when running normally always place the machine cycle between 2000 - 3500 rpm. This is where there are alloy fuel & power consumption is optimized

3. Engine braking
In the market today, 99% of cars using an electronic injection system. So how is the most appropriate savings made. Get used to perform engine braking when slowing the vehicle. How, out of gas without the gears into neutral first. This will stop the total supply of gasoline to the engine. Different if the transmission put into neutral, gas is still supplied to keep the machine alive.

4. Maintaining a constant speed
Sudden braking and acceleration are always requires large energy. And in the car, the main energy source is fuel. Try driving without stepping on the gas constant or brake suddenly. Gently turn the steering wheel also contributed fuel savings, rather than suddenly swerved to-be to slow down drastically.

5. Use the comparison to assess whether or not the fuel-efficient so you get the most effective type of car fuel.

6. Do not stare at the loud wheels. Make sure your wheels condition good. Wheel assembly does not fit or too contrived to make your car wasteful gasoline.

7. Keep your car cool - but do not burn all the fuel as your car heats up. AC spent fuel, so you should not too often turn on the AC. Cars with exterior and interior has a lighter and lower temperatures would reduce the need for air conditioning which also requires fuel.

8. Keep the speed. Optimal speed for fuel efficiency is 55 miles per hour. When driving on the open road, you must remain at speeds 55 miles per hour.

9. Do not be too burdensome a car - the more weight your car more fuel to be spent. Vehicles SUVs and trucks have larger engines require more fuel. So you better avoid the trunk filled to keep the car load and optimize fuel efficiency.

10. You should travel in groups and taking public transportation whenever possible. If the distance to a closer destination, biking or walking would save fuel and give you the opportunity to enjoy the warm sunshine.

11. Stop spinning! You better send someone to do tasks that are not essential to reduce the amount of your trip.

12. Slow but constant will memenangan race. Driving and braking suddenly disrupt optimal fuel savings.

13. Should increase the speed gradually and stops slowly.

14. Leaving the engine alive when to stop spending more on gasoline than revive. So should you turn off your car engine in a situation like this.

15. Motorists who use a manual transmission should continue to use high gears as they drove quickly to take advantage of gasoline as possible.

16. Rawat and serviskan your car regularly. Worn out spark plugs, brakes are not functioning well, and low transmission fluid can all interfere with the fuel efficiency of cars.

How to Modify Car Audio

New car out of the showroom also has audio.Akan device but for some people, the standard audio system equipment from manufacturers such as single-DIN head unit and four congenital and two-way speakers will suffice. However, for music lovers feel less need to upgrade.

The important thing to note is the selection of products, gadgets and more importantly is your favorite musical genre. The main thing is how the audio devices that can be applied without reducing the comfort of the cabin. Here are tips to improve the standard audio.

Head Unit
Make sure the unit as a sound source playback device, usually equipped with features CD Player, MP3 Player and DVD Player which can be a single type Double DIN, or DIN. Usually the factory berepurasi clearly outlines the product specifications. This will greatly help you choose a good head unit. For sound quality, select the head unit with four-channel sound capability (two rear and two front) of at least 30 watts per channel, plus features RCA outputs which would be very useful if you want to add a crossover or power amplifiers.

BumperGuard - Rear Bumper Protector

BumperGuard.jpg

BumperGuard design concept was conceived in response to the increasing vulnerability of the rear bumpers of luxury sedans such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus. Over time, rear bumpers have evolved into molded color- integrated covers that fit over a structural element. The dimensional strength is greater than the aesthetic plastic "skin" that covers it, hence the need for a solution that protects, yet does not detract from the overall appearance of the vehicle when the protective bumper guard is attached. The TECH-Naissance BumperGuardTM uses our U.S. Utility Patent Applied technology to create the ultimate solution. Using the "universal" hole pattern of domestic license plates, the TECH-Naissance BumperGuardTM slides onto two posts that protrude from the lower holes of the plate in seconds. An integral handle helps you to guide the unit into place. The durable ABS molded housing then uses a double cam-lock key mechanism to "lock" the unit onto the posts, to prevent pilferage. The molded housing cantilevers over the rear bumper of the car, positioning the 2" impact-resistant foam pad directly over the area most vulnerable to parking impact. Weighing in at just over 1lb. the product is effortlessly positioned, and stored in your trunk. It's sleek, sophisticated form of the design enhances the visual appearance of the unit, making it a welcome companion for all vehicle environments! CLICK HERE FOR Specifications
