Fiat introduces novel MultiAir engines

Fiat showed off the facet of its novel MultiAir engines at the 2009 Geneva motor show – and we’ll eventually be capable to purchase the tech on the novel Alfa Romeo Mito supermini later in the year 2009. Adding, the intellects following the common-rail injection system that wobble up diesel technology have currently produced a novel technology planned to formulate petrol engines more proficient and cleaner.Moreover, engineers allege the MultiAir engines – which exercise electrohydraulic actuation, pretty than the more extensively available electromechanical systems – boost power and torque, while harshing CO2 by between 10% and 25% and other pollutants by up to 60%. The furtive? By means of electronic actuation and direct of the intake valves to build the passage of air into and out of the cylinders more proficient.



Fiat’s novel system exercises intake valves maneuvered by a conformist valve spring – but, crucially, they can be prevailed by the MultiAir pack. Adding, a piston is attached to every intake valve through an hydraulic chamber; the chamber is prohibited by an on/off solenoid valve – shaping whether intake is administrated by the conservative camshaft or the electronics.

Moreover in maximum clout, the solenoid valve is fastened and the engine runs off the mechanical camshaft, which is standardized for an extensive opening time and additional clout. But MultiAir can then jerk intake performance on each cylinder for low-revs torque or part-load conditions.

Fiat asserts its structure is more bendable than the electromechanical variable valve lift systems used by companies such as Honda and BMW, which effort to proffer individual cylinder control, it alleges.






The novel valvework will emerge this autumn on the Mito, on a novel family of 16-valve 1.4-litre physically aspirated and turbocharged engines. After that entering is Fiat’s sweeping novel two-cylinder engine family in progress for upcoming cluster small cars.

Adding, the subsequent generation of MultiAir engines will be comrade to direct injection and Fiat claims the tech can be rolled out to alternative-fuel engines as well, embracing those motorized by natural gas, hydrogen and biofuels.

Yamaha preparing a new economic engine

Yamaha, the Japanese company has publicized that it is presently functioning on a novel propeller that will devour 20% less fuel than the comparable of the current cohort.
Adding, it will boast a few elements of internal assess and an entire novel shot which targets utilization abridged fuel and lesser emissions of contaminants. Primul propulsor din noua generatie va avea 125 cmc si va fi montat pe motocicletele comercializate pe piata din sud-estul Asiei, unde normele de poluare s-au inasprit. The primary propeller of the novel cohort will have 125 cmc and will be swelled on motorcycles vended in the market in South-East Asia, where effluence standards were steel. Underhanded, Yamaha va exporta acest motor si pe pietele din Europa si America. Consequently, Yamaha will send overseas the engine and the markets in Europe and America.

Further to expedite the realization of novel monetary propelled the company exercises in the project 100 engineers co-opted in the progress of motorcycles of engine aptitude superior.

2010 Kia Sportage Scouted in the Snow

The legitimacy is even masters of global business such as Bill Gates and Richard Branson can dig up it utterly incorrect (think of the Zune and Virgin Cola for instance). Conceivably the level is not the similar but when WCF obtains it wrong it feels like a tornado strike our offices. And as a result it was with the Ssangyong C200 scout yarn which turns out to be a 2010 Kia Sportage scout story. Well, we censure the frown on the ice.
Acutely though, this is the profoundly cloaked 2010 Kia Sportage driving through snow in freezing Scandinavia. Adding, the car is to receive a 6-speed automatic transmission to set off with the 184hp (135kW) 2.0-litre turbo diesel R-engine. Further, a V6 motor that runs on petrol is also being measured particularly for markets that still stipulate increased engine capacity akin to the US. In various markets it will also arrive with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Additional vehicles anticipated to exercise the similar power train are the 2010 Hyundai Tucson and one or two other Kia vehicles.



Kia has been putting up the packed in SUV Sportage from the year 1995. Over the years it has developed in range and physique. Presently the second- generation of the Sportage is being traded in worldwide markets. Further, it has undergone a pair of facelifts since it went into manufacturing in the year 2005.

Next Generation Mercedes SLK Prototype Spied irksome Heavy disguised

Scout pictures of the car that will be the 2012 Mercedes SLK got shelled.

Grave conceal murky the entire but the novel vehicle’s basic shape, but we can pick up a only some information from what’s perceptible. Adding, the overall magnitude appears to be seal to the current car, as does the retractable hardtop, but the body appears wider and more squared-off. Further, the SLK is possibly to espouse the ample and low chic that’s turns into Mercedes’ corporate look, analogous to the novel faces of the C-Class and E-class, and obviously the imminent SLC Gullwing. Quad-look headlamps peeking out from behind the armor also advise that the SLK has mislaid its Formula One-inspired beak for an additional conformist look.

courtesy: www.worldcarfans.com

Adding, at the rear, twofold fatigue and a classically Mercedes trunk line are perceptible. And a lack of consistency flanked by the bumpers and fenders proposes that this archetype may be constructed from a blend of current and next-generation elements.

Fanatics are evidently hoping that the SLK will set off on a cut down additionally. Adding, a lighter curtail weight would facilitate it to better contend with a few of its sporty-roadster foes.

Existing hearsay calls for a novel series of engines that may embrace a diesel, which would be the first for the SLK. Further, we’ll have more details and pictures for you as morsels plunge into our hands.

Yamaha 150cc Bike Review

Yamaha announced the newest release in its 150cc lineup, the FZ16. The FZ16 will join its predecessor, the YZF-R15 in the Indian market. This new release is due to a demand in the market for a bike that gives great performance around town, plus a look and feel that gives pride of ownership.

Yamaha Motor’s in the middle of its plan to rebuild the industry in India, and this bike shows that they are serious. Not only is the bike expected to increase the 2nd largest market that Yamaha has, but the rear tire and front fork are both manufactured in India. This is also the first liquid cooled bike in India, giving it better stability and less vibration.

The bike, which features an advanced fuel injection system, a digital display in addition to the analog meter, and disc breaks front and rear, has a look and feel like the big boys. The pickup and response from the engine is second to none in its class – the driver can really feel the speed out of the gate.

This bike handles and brakes very well, with plenty of mid-range torque, from its 153cc 4-stroke, 2-valve engine. The bike boasts an electric starter and 5-speed transmission. The only possible downsides are a slightly higher price tag and less than optimal mileage. But for a bike that looks and performs this great, that is a small price to pay.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR

No question, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the most thrilling car I have ever driven. The acceleration produced by the 638 hp supercharged V8 is almost beyond the scope of human comprehension, while the handling is supercar-sharp yet incredibly forgiving. With styling that looks nearly identical to the base-model Corvette, it's easy to forget how much engineering intelligence is packed into the ZR1, or what an incredible bargain it is -- $105,000 is a heck of a deal for a supercar that goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and on to 200 MPH, let alone one that includes a lightweight aluminum skeleton, magnetic-fluid shocks and carbon-ceramic brakes. Mark my words: History will remember the Corvette ZR1 as one of the all-time great cars.

Cadillac CTS-V

The hot-rod Caddy isn't just one of the best new cars of 2009, it's one of the best cars I've ever driven. Its handling is laser-fine and remarkably unflappable, while the power from its supercharged V8 (556 hp/551 lb-ft) is the stuff Bible stories are written about. Remember, this is the car that beat the BMW M5 around Germany's grueling 17.5-mile Nürburgring race track. The CTS-V runs 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, yet it's posh and genteel enough to ferry your fickle mother-in-law to high tea with the Ladies' Aid Society. With a pricing starting just over $60k, the CTS-V delivers a bang-for-the-buck quotient of nuclear proportions. All this, plus it was conceived, designed and built right here in the US of A. Take that, Germany!

Burgman's motor

The Burgman's motor was given some serious upgrades. The motor was stroked to yield an extra 15cc, so it's a genuine 400 now. More importantly, the cylinder head was redesigned to make it dual overhead cam rather than SOHC. The fuel injection system gets a new 38mm throttle body and idle speed control system. A new exhaust system and emissions equipment clean up icky hydrocarbon residue. All these improvements improve power delivery (even if they don't increase power much) and reduce emissions, according to Suzuki. It's clean enough to pass both the strict Euro3 and CARB 2008 emissions laws. The chassis has also received improvements. It's still made of thin-walled high-tensile steel tubing, but it's now wrapped in a slightly larger, sleeker package. The windscreen is reshaped, along with the headlights and other plastic. The front wheel is now a 14 incher (were we crass we would make a crude joke here, but we will refrain) with dual 260 mm brake discs with two-piston calipers instead of a single disc with a four-piston caliper like last year's.

Yamaha

Yamaha has pushed the lovely FZ-1 towards the ragged edge this year with an aluminum frame, bizarre-ish design and extreme engine tuning, and Kawasaki is following the same route for 2007 with the new version of the Z1000. Both companies seem eager to transform their do-it-all giants into extreme "naked-sports" thingies. Someone in Honda must have thought that redemption for liter nakeds might be found elsewhere then, at the opposite end of the scale. Instead of chasing the city racers and wheelie hooligans, why not go for the mature boys, the once-in-a-while tourers with a family and a mortgage

Honda Brings the DN-01 to American Shores!


Last month, while your very own MotorcycleNewsGuy was in England he decided to stop by a Honda dealership - and you know what immediately caught his eye? A Honda DN-01 in the flesh! I must admit, these are some of the oddest two-wheeled creatures I’ve ever laid my eyes on, and even though I’m still not sure what to make of one, they do have the ability to draw stares from everyone.

And now, Honda, in a show of generosity to the motorcyclists here in North America, have decided to bring the DN-01 to the US.

I think that Honda’s version of a CVT, called the “Human Friendly Transmission” is probably the most interesting feature of this bike.

Honda’s New Fury Brings Some Serious Style


As a kid, I always knew that I wanted to ride motorcycles when I was old enough to handle that kind of mechanical beast. I was fascinated by the fast, sporty looking bikes.

When I finally passed the DMV test and added “M1″ to my license, the look of the Ducati Monster with a single classic round headlamp seemed to me to embody what I thought a motorcycle should be. Since then, my tastes have changed, grown, and expanded, and I have a much greater appreciation for nearly all styles of motorcycles. But I just had never quite “gotten” cruisers/choppers, nor could I understand those who obsessed over them.

Honda CBR150R

With fuel prices expected to go up in the next election, many will be looking at ways to reduce fuel expenditure. While Ratan Tata wants to convert motorcyclists into car drivers with the Tata Nano, there is no such thing here yet and for those who are already driving cars with small engines, the only way is to go down and replace the transportation method of certain short commutes with a bike instead of a car. I myself have purchased an old 2nd hand Kawasaki Victor for this purpose.

One of the latest “hot” yet relatively affordable sports bikes in the Malaysian market is the Honda CBR150R, brought in officially by Boon Siew Honda Malaysia and it costs RM10,363.17 on the road including insurance. The Honda CBR150R is powered by a 150cc (149.4cc) 4-stroke carburetted single cylinder 4 valve DOHC engine with 11.0:1 compression and CDI ignition, mated to a 6-speed wet clutch manual transmission. It produces 18.98 PS at 10,500rpm and 13.5Nm of torque at 8.500rpm.

The engine is water cooled with an electric fan that turns on automatically when needed. The bike has a 10 liter fuel tank which will cost RM19.20 to fill up at current RON97 fuel prices. Front suspension uses telescopic shocks while the rear is a monoshock. The meter panel has a speedometer, an RPM meter, a fuel gauge and a temperature meter. Brakes are discs at both the front and rear, sized 276mm and 220mm respectively.

Acura NSX

The latest victim of the automotive market's vicious downturn may be the next-generation Acura NSX. Honda CEO Takeo Fukui announced in his end of year speech that all development of the supercar has been cancelled as part of a restructuring effort inside the company. Fukui also said the company has abandoned plans to bring the Acura brand to Japan by 2010.

Honda was developing a V-10 engine for the NSX, which would have made it the most powerful production car the company had ever made. However, Fukui will now focus on developing hybrid powertrain instead, aiming to achieve mass market penetration as soon as possible.

The original NSX was discontinued in 2005, after a 15-year production

2009 bentley gtc speed live detroit

entley confirmed today that it will debut its quickest ever convertible at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Just how fast is this portly 5478 lb convertible? Bentley says the Continental GTC Speed will charge to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 200 mph with the top up or 195 mph with the top down.

The new GTC Speed is the final addition to the Speed family of Continentals that includes the GT Speed and the Flying Spur Speed. The same monster 600 hp W-12 engine from the other two models finds a home under the hood of the GTC Speed. The engine produces nine percent more horsepower and 15 percent more torque than in a base GTC, and the power is still routed through a six-speed ZF automatic transmission to all four wheels.

GTC Speed models will be distinguished from lesser GTCs by their standard dark tinted upper and lower matrix grilles and wider twin-rifled tail pipes. The dashing drop top will wear 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels with Pirelli PZero ultra-high performance tires. The suspension is lowered and upgraded to enhance the car's cornering ability and a new trunk-mounted spoiler enhances high speed aerodynamics.

Some of the minor styling revisions for the 2009 GTC Speed pass on to the standard GTC such as the refreshed grille with a more upright appearance. The lower air intakes are also bolder and the headlights receive new chrome bezels. Both models will be offered in two new exterior colors as well as a new leather interior selection.

The 2009 models will also be offered with two new options. First, to haul the cars down to a stop, buyers can opt for the largest production passenger car brakes in the world. The brakes are fade-resistant, carbon-ceramic and span a whopping 420mm (about 16.5 inches) in the front and a mere 356mm in the back. The other option is a new adaptive cruise control system. The system uses a long range radar sensor that manages throttle and brakes and can bring the car to a compete stop.

BMW 7 Series 30th Anniversary

If you're looking to buy yourself a new Bimmer soon, do it quickly, before January 1st rolls around. Effective on the first day of the year, BMW will raise the prices of its vehicles by an average of .7 percent, according to a press release issued Monday.

BMW has been one of the most profitable car companies in the world in recent years, but the current economic downturn has not spared the premium brand. Sales are down 12 percent through November compared with the same period last year.

All BMW nameplates are down, and the company has moved only 11,097 units of the new 1-Series coupe and convertible and just 4,116 examples of the X6 "sport activity coupe" through November. A price increase across the board of less than 1 percent seems a small price to pay for the financial carnage engulfing the automotive world.

Prices for the new-for-2009 BMW 7-Series pricing was also announced in the press release. The new flagship will set customers back $81,125 for 750i or $85,025 for the 750Li, including destination and handling charges. That's $3,500 more than the 2008 750i and $4,300 more than the 2008 750Li. The 760Li sedan does not continue for 2009.

Production of the 2009 7-Series models began back in November, and BMW says the sedan should be available in the spring. For more information regarding the brand new 7-series, check out our reviews of the 750i and 750Li.

R15 prototype

Audi has now revealed the first image of their R15 prototype that will debut next month at the Sebring 12 Hour race. After skipping the Sebring test days in favor of private testing, the car was caught finally caught last weekend.

This new P1 prototype is drastically different looking from the outgoing R10 model. The most obvious change is the new wider 'platypus' nose with an aerodynamic air vent on top. At the rear, a smaller wing is fitted to suit new regulations and features curved wing mounts. The front fenders are cut to reveal gills behind the front wheel and help to direct air to engine. The R15 is powered by a heavy and robust diesel V12 in keeping with Audi's continued promotion of oil burners.
