Ferrari 458 Italia: Completely Italy new car from Every point of view

The company unveiled a new supercar, which will be widely shown in public at this year's motor show in Frankfurde. NEW become the youngest model in the range of the eight cars.

This model was developed in the studio Pininfarina. The car is equipped with special aerodynamic elements that reduce resistance to the flow of incoming air, and also has aluminum chassis.

Supercar to be completed 570-horsepower 4.5-liter V8 engine with fuel injection and seven-robotic gearbox with two clutches. The torque of this engine is 540 Nm. Access it from 6000 rpm - a 80 per cent since 3250 with speed. The new model can accelerate in 3.4 seconds to a hundred miles an hour from scratch. Its maximum speed of over 320 kilometers per hour.

This model has an active differential E-Diff, carbon-ceramic brakes system «prefill», which, when released, the gas pedal automatically leads pads to the discs as close as possible. This reduces the reaction time on the subsequent press the brake pedal, and a 20-inch wheels and "closing" the front bumper air intakes, which are hidden behind the mesh vents aerodynamic elements overlap the airflow, reducing drag.

This direct-injection V8 engine can generate up to 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The red zone on the tachometer reaches the 9,000 rpm, but 80% of the available torque is between 0 and 3.250 rpm's.

Like the Ferrari California, Italy 458 receives a seven-speed transmission with double clutch that directs power to the rear wheels. Ferrari has worked hard to reduce internal friction V8, as well as aerodynamic refinements to reduce the coefficient of 'drag'. As a result, the Ferrari 458 Italy reported an improved combined fuel consumption of 17.1 miles per gallon (U.S.). Despite rumors that would integrate KERS hybrid system in this model, the Italian factory has not said a word about it.

Like its predecessor, the Ferrari Italy has an aluminum frame that helps maintain a reasonable weight (3.042 pounds). The new Ferrari accelerates from 0 "62 mph (100 km / h) in 3.4 seconds and will be the first mass-produced Ferrari to surpass the barrier of 200 mph (320 km / h), reaching a final speed of 202 mph (323.2 km / h).

As for the price ... we'll have to wait until the Frankfurt Motor Show in September to find out.

PRESS RELEASE
The 458 Italy is the latest Incarnation of the mid-rear engined berlinetta and will be Unveiled at the next Frankfurt Motor Show.

Maranello, 28th July 2009 - While it's true That Every Ferrari is Innovative by definition, it's Equally true That in the course of the Prancing Horse's history, Have Certain cars mark to genuine departure from the current range.

Audi A4: Powerful and practical car you thought of everything for the family

Successful solutions that were found when creating Audi A6 and TT, skillfully used in developing a model Audi A4. A low drag coefficient and greater emphasis on sports was obtained by verified and accepted by the fans brand decisions. The car has received an additional expressiveness by head optics under transparent caps. Separation of the radiator grille with chrome rims on two components, in particular, on the bottom - in a skirt and bumper to the usual - in the upper part, is aimed at the same. Luggage space was increased to 445 liters.

The new model is equipped with air conditioning, which maintains comfortable conditions inside the cabin, built-in mobile phone with voice control mode, on-board navigation system, a range of telematics, electronic brake booster, ESP and side air bag on the head.

In a number of petrol power units included two novelties, namely, the three-liter V6 with an output of 220 horsepower and a two-liter row Quartet, producing 130 horsepower.

Model A4 is also equipped with two diesel engines, which represent a high-torque engines with excellent fuel economy. Audi A4 also has an automatic gearbox with a chain variant Multitronic.

The new brand has enabled Hohenester enter the Guinness Book of Records, after demonstrating that the natural gas in cars can run as well or better than gasoline.

The three liters biturbo V6 engine will not only achieved the speed record. So did during acceleration (0 to 100km / h in 4.2 seconds), torque (720 Nm at 3,800 rpm) and deceleration (100 to 0 km / h at 34.8 meters).

Similarly, the car presented a power to weight ratio of 2.38 kg per horsepower.

According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Audi A4 biogas is so powerful that electronically Hohenester had to limit its power to 700 horses to prevent damaging the transmission and other vehicle components sold to the public standard .

Had it not been limited in their power, the Audi A4 Hohenester stood at 800 horses.

To reach its mark, Hohenester used the equivalent of 120-140 octane gas.

This is not the first time Hohenester trying to beat the world speed record for cars powered by gas. Last year 'Tune' other Audi A4 to take it to 585 horsepower. However, at that time only amounted to 328.3 kilometers per hour.

The Teutonic manufacturing giant with this release shows that she does not miss any market niche, so decided to enter the "target family" with its attractive model A4 Avant car that perfectly combines the functionality of a station wagon with the power and design that we have used the Audi brand.

This elegant car offers different options for their customers as are their 5 types of engines which is available: two petrol and three diesel engines to reduce fuel consumption by more than 14% compared to the previous model .

Undoubtedly one of the aspects that draws the attention of this vehicle and establish a comparative advantage over its predecessor is its higher load capacity 1430 liters in volume "total-even almost identical in length and weigh 10% minor features that demonstrate the high level of innovation of the company Germanic.

With respect to its mechanical part, the Audi A4 Avant offers a range of engines from the 1.8 TFSI four-cylinder power of 160 HP, up to a 3.2 FSI V6 with 265 HP, all of them with direct fuel injection as the TDI or FSI engine type, and achieving high levels of torque thanks to turbocharger technology.

Mazda CX-7: Combines the functionality and sporty dynamics

Mazda CX-7 combines the functionality and sporty dynamics, perfect for driving on urban roads. Distinctive features of this model is its powerful engine with direct fuel injection, the volume of 2,3-liter turbo. Like other cars SUV class Mazda CX-7 has multifunctionality, great visibility, spacious interior and a very high level of comfort.

Mazda CX-7 is different for maximum security. Full control over the situation allows you to keep good visibility, adjusted brakes and solid body construction. When a car accident demonstrates a high level of protection thanks to the modern system of absorption and distribution of energy. Specific compounds subframe helps to absorb energy during a crash. It is worth noting that for the manufacture of parts frame security is used high-strength steel.

Six airbags, side, front window, protect the passengers. Also, the safety of passengers provide integrated seat belts with force limiters and tension with retractors.

For those looking for significant savings on fuel consumption and an affordable price, Mazda placed on the table two options very convenient with its CX-7:

The first is a version of four-cylinder engine with 2.5-liter mated to a transmission five-speed automatic. With an output of 161 horsepower, the model helps to generate an economy of 28 miles per gallon of fuel in terms of management of motorway around and can be purchased for a base price of around $ 22,000.

The second option, for those who are not thinking in the economy, is offering a turbocharged 2.3-liter that generates an output of 244 horsepower. Obviously this is much more fun and powerful but its base price starting around $ 25,000.

Our test unit was the first to mention, without the turbo, but we must admit that although the power does not say much on paper, on the road experience with the CX-7 takes the test. Its acceleration respond appropriately and perhaps a little better than we expected for the basic motor of four cylinders. It drives comfortably thanks to its easy maneuverability and smooth handling.

Inside is a dashboard very striking and in an very futuristic but in turn for easy reading. The steering wheel is telescopic and tilt and has the audio controls and cruise control on it. Our unit had no navigation system compact but is an option that can be added for an extra charge like the automatic climate control and audio from Bose ".

The seats in the first row are air conditioned and the driver is provided with electronic memory that can record the configuration of the chair to the taste of it manages. The space of the second row of seats to travel in comfort but in turn part of load is very low, unless it is harness the support folding 60/40 split to create more space in the rear.

If you are people who prefer more breadth in the cargo area would do well to consider the wider pattern of the same line of Mazda, which offers more possibilities in this regard.

The security features standard airbags front advanced air bags front side-impact air curtains for side impacts, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and a system for monitoring tire pressure (TPMS) very convenient, especially because by keeping tires at recommended pressure also helps increase levels of efficiency in fuel consumption.
