BMW 135i Coupe “SuperSports”

The latest and greatest from BMW: the M1 will not work for the production, BUT a "SuperSports" based on the BMW 1 Series Coupe will be launched in 2010. In addition to the 135i's performance which resulted in the use of certain lightweight materials, such as Carbon Fiber Roof and bootlid, the loss of a particular cabin comfort, upgraded suspension and brakes, lightweight glass, all the creative performance and comfort made for variant M, but not under the management Motorsport badging.
This information comes from someone close to BMW and Germancarzone originally posted. As already mentioned a year ago, eventually there WILL be a turbo four-cylinder engine powering the 1 Series model.
With the release or the BMW 1er Coupe and 135i models final attack raises the question, what happens next?
With the past history of BMW design raised in the year 2002 and the E21 and E30 models 3er nothing more to be seen.
Although BMW 1er prime TII in Tokyo in October 2007 brought the question to the surface again, though TII is a preview of BMW's performance will come a special package for the 1er Coupe.
How 135i repaired? With the original decision, there are plans to move forward with the M1 - History Original BMW M1 Supercar, but M1's name was destined to be returned to create a new model M 1er Coupe.
6-cylinder derived from the E46 M3 and E46 engine for the M3 CSL upgrades are equally repaired, tested and evaluated for use in the M1 line. Unfortunately reengineering the old block by magnesium to reduce weight and provide 1 Series Coupe with many unique solutions for their own performance choice between a small car, does not produce the results the board of BMW has been determined.
For many people, questions about the position in the ranks of M3 Coupe M1 also be reconsidered, because the series is to follow the 1 Series 3 is a brother and be the entry M Coupe. V8 M3 will be positioned far from the E46 M3 is positioned like this, which is why there is a gap, although the 135i enough to M3.
What is the solution to fill the gap?
It is clear that consumers are asking more than 1 Series Coupe, which is a very popular choice for young fans of the MINI brand migration or terrible choice like a Mercedes CLC.
BMW aims to return to the basic roll-out to the car today, starting with a lot of talk about the four-cylinder turbo engines in development are charged, but not so perfect. Four-turbo that pumps over 240PS and is still undergoing tests to obtain optimal efficiency, it is usually not expected for a small performance coupe.
As seen with the emergence of the 7 Series F01, BMW has shown how much power can be drawn from the existing six-cylinder. In the beginning, is expected to advance from the 7 Series BMW Z4 (E89). But BMW has changed their original focus by allowing the 7er has all the glory for now.
But the 135i will be one of the first six-cylinder BMW received an upgrade in 2010, along with the generation BMW 5 Series (F10).
Questions about what should be done further to take 1er Coupe to the next level, has produced a return to the basic formula, which means that the new "SuperSports" model required. Only limited and the 120i Coupe (four-cylinder turbo) and the 135i, Supersport model that will generate a certain performance, although the use of lightweight materials, such as Carbon Fiber Roof and bootlid, the loss of a particular cabin comfort, upgraded suspension and brakes, lightweight glass, basically all comfort and performance made for a creative variant F, but NOT run Motorsport badging.
Different body kit would be used to distinguish from the BMW Performance Package SuperSports, and that includes brake and extra preformance upgrade.
Performance BMW series will differ from SuperSports.
The end result is to take the car back to the roots and at a time when modernization, such as ease of equipment and extensive safety requirements, today only lead to a performance car like this would be much bigger and heavier than the original BMW Classics, like the turbo in the year 2002 and E30 M3, and only here in spirit

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour

Introduction

The 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour is further proof that no automotive segment that can not be cut into small pieces. The Crosstour is 4-door hatchback version of the Accord, and with a slightly raised ride height and available all-wheel drive, Honda will call it a crossover. Aimed at empty nesters and young families, for services as a field, cargo-centric and even more subtle than the Accord's an awkward shape? Honda invited us for a test drive to find out. We found Crosstour to become a good driver, and think that Honda will probably sell 40,000 copies, said to each year. But that's not all roses, so here are 10 things you need to know about the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour.
1. This is not a version of Honda Acura ZDX.

Recently, the luxury car division of Honda, Acura, introduce a vehicle that looked similar, ZDX. Crosstour Like 2010 Honda Accord, which aimed to empty nest type who wants to throw additional equipment in the back, but does not require three full lines crossover exploded. As Crosstour, is also charged with an additional layer of repair. However, based on MDX ZDX platform, and very similar dimensions. Crosstour based on the Accord sedan, and closer to the vehicle. Although they seem shallow, ZDX and actually quite different Crosstour under the skin.
2. Looks better in person.

We're not going to declare 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour a beautiful car. However, do not get something in someone lost in the picture, and it seems pretty good from several angles. But the nose was heavy, the rear of the residence was too round, and slightly raised ride height make the car look bigger than they really are. On the other hand, there are some interesting design details, such as convex concave character line gradually became rear fender tip. In it much better, essentially an Accord sedan with a few tasteful (but fake) wood trim, and nicer skins available.
3. This is especially more peaceful than the Accord Sedan.

Honda adds a few extra votes to kill Crosstour, so mainly quieter than the Accord sedan is based. You see most of this highway speeds. While Sedan tires tend to be filled with noise, quiet enough Crosstour is that additional wind noise clearly. They are not fun though, and the overall need to drive Crosstour great friend for the long term.
4. There are 4-cylinder option.
Honda says that they do not offer 4-cylinder that will bump only marginal fuel economy, and not enough people will buy it. Maybe. However, we do not think there are 4-cylinder that Honda does not just make one big enough to move Crosstour with authority. The 271-horsepower V6 Crosstour is approximately 300 pounds heavier than the Accord V6 sedan, so it is easy to assume a 4-cylinder will Crosstour weighed about the same number more than 4-cylinder Accord. 4-Banger's largest range of Honda is only 2.4 liters, and only 162 lb.-ft. torque. In contrast, rival Toyota Venza's 4-Banger has 182 lb.-ft. torque, and still feels soft.
5. Visibility is very bad back.

Like most of the slope-backed car today, 2010 Honda Accord hard enough Crosstour rear visibility. Blaming the thick rear pillars, narrow hatched and the relatively small rear side windows. Honda has tried to compensate with additional glass panel at the bottom of the hatch. While undoubtedly helpful, there is no overcoming the fact that only Crosstour hard to look back. A glass of the camera is available, but only as an option on more expensive models.
6. This is more fun than the Toyota Venza.
Honda Accord-based Crosstour clearly aimed at the Camry-based Venza. However, the philosophy of the two car makers in the game, too. Venza is a quieter and more isolated, but Crosstour more fun to drive. Now, before you think that you will Crosstour next autocross car, all of this relative. Crosstour winding roads handled well, thanks to the traditional Honda suspension tuning is stronger and sharper steering. Programming transmission cars and even ordered to hold the equipment when in the corner, for sportier feel. Unfortunately, all-wheel drive system is only for low-traction situations, not to improve handling, and Honda is mysteriously drowned the most harmonious sound that comes from the V6 engine, making engine sounds great when really boring.
7. It gets decent gas mileage.

Although only Crosstour come with V6, it still gets pretty good gas mileage, but not class leading. A forward got Crosstour drive 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined; all-wheel drive makes you 17/25/20. Highway Venza beat score by 1 mpg for the front drivers, but the game on all-wheel drive versions. In some cities, which still has the edge Venza, defeating Crosstour score by 1 mpg on the front and all-wheel drive configurations. Nissan Murano - Other sedan-based crossover vehicle - the game was in town, but on the road losing value by 4 and 2 mpg mpg for the front and all-wheel drive models, respectively.
8. Cargo space on the small side.

Although a large hatch and large, round back housing, cargo space on the small side compared to other vehicles in this class. With the rear seats up, there were 25.7 cu. ft. of cargo space by folding the rear seat is 51.3. Sounds good, but Crosstour narrow cargo area, and suffer from an extreme angle cargo itself. Conversely, a relatively boxier Venza offers up to 34.4 cu. ft. behind the rear seat, and the relative loss of 70.1 with the seats folded. The Murano also significantly larger, with 31.6 cu. ft. and 64.0 cu. feet, respectively.
9. This has many good features.
Maybe you think we Crosstour bashing. We do not, really. The Crosstour has a lot to offer. For example, it offers a healthy dose of standard equipment that is usually reserved for vehicles, the higher end, such as dual-zone climate control or 360-watt audio system. If you choose for your skin to get a premium, luxury quality leather, and even a USB audio system with better integration for your iPod. Then there is a reversible cargo floor in the area, which allows you to place the goods in the hold ground without worrying about marring your carpet looped. Under the storage box behind the panel, which not only keep valuables out of sight, but also actually lifts out for cleaning.
10. For something called "Accord," a little expensive.
Honda Accord built a reputation for good value, but the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour slightly more expensive than the 4-door sedan cousin. A front-wheel drive Crosstour EX - base model - out for the purpose of entry costs $ 30,380 plus $ 710 price increase fast enough, too: the front-drive EX with leather (EX-L) is $ 33,280, and if you add the navigation you see $ 35,480. An all-wheel drive EX-L is $ 34,730, and if you add the navigation is $ 36,930. Compare that to regular Accord sedans, and even the most expensive - an EX-L with navigation - still came to only $ 31,815. So the question is: Is Crosstour offer extra few thousand dollars of repair, cargo space and style? We're not entirely sure, but time will tell

Know Little About Hybrid Cars

THE issue of global warming and the depletion of world oil reserves, making the producers of automotive-busy busy developing hybrid technology. Both were producers from Europe and Asia.
Actually, such as whether the hybrid technology. Here's a little explanation about the ins and outs of hybrid technology.
In the Encyclopedia, the context with hybrid engine technology, a merger between machines that use fuel oil (gasoline) with an electric driving machine. So the hybrid car is a combination of combustion in engines using conventional fuels with electric motors.
If you rely on a conventional car power source of fuel, like gasoline, diesel, or gas to move. Utilization of the internal combustion engine, energy from the combustion of fuel used and converted into movement, which could propel the car.

Although generally indicates a good performance with low cost, conventional cars emit higher exhaust gas pollution and create a lot.
While the electric cars, electric converted into energy through the electric motor, to propel the car. Usually used batteries. Although these electric-powered car is environmentally friendly, no noise and has good acceleration, he takes charge and the appropriate infrastructure.
Also not yet developed a technology that allows the battery can function for a long time in all fields road, without having to frequently recharge. Trouble indeed.
The use of two hybrid engine system to maximize the advantages of both systems. Can be obtained so that the desire to improve the efficiency of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are also produced to be more minimal.
