Right Now Honda counts on two semihybrids in its range, the Insight and the Civic Hybrid. The second has received a small update, essentially an aesthetic since there is no change in the hybrid system. It is commercialized in two versions, Civic Hybrid and Civic Hybrid Navi Skin.

The prices are from 24,900 and 28,800 Euros, respectively. The main price is superior than the previous version. Even so, it continues being a little cheaper than the Toyota Prius II, that is ending its commercial life.

Externally these versions are different, and we are talking about the bumper, the rims, the grill, vision groups and anti-fog lights. On the inside it is only different the upholstery of the seats and the handle from the intermittent ones, that now the freeway function has (signaling of change of track with a touch). The rest remains inalterable.

When we compared Civic Hybrid against the Toyota Prius, we concluded that, although Civic Hybrid is cheaper, its consumption of gas is superior, that´s a weak side. When the new Toyota Prius arrives in market, the first one (Civis Hybrid) woul be disadvantaged, due to the Toyota will surpass in consumption about 0.6 to him l/100 km and the price will be so similar.

The new Sorento changes totally the previous model. It grows in width and length, although the battle stands out a centimeter and is a little lower. It has been redesigned to have more near space than the effective Sorento, and like newness, it will be able to be formed with five or seven places. It measures 4,685 mm in length, like an average saloon car throwing to get bigger.

The redesign has also implied changes in the chassis and body of this car. Now it has more structural resistance and has been designed to surpass the five EuroNCAP stars and the tests of the North American NHTSA. It will be offered, following the market, with front or total traction. The frame is monocoque and will lose a little abilities 4×4, its angle of attacks and exit is slightly smaller.

The suspension has been altered, the car now has 10 mm less towards the ground and the center of gravity diminishes 54 mm Externally have been relocated the pillars To improving the space perception within the cockpit. The official notice speaks of an improvement in the performance and to have an attended direction more direct, one of leannesses of the present Sorento.

The next the April 2th will be opened the doors of the Hall of Seoul (South Korea), where concept will keep awake to the public is new. One is a small plug-in hybrid that uses a body Kammback type like Honda Insight or Citroën C4 Coupé.

We know that the Hyundai Blue-Will is driven by an aluminum gasoline motor realised, 1,6 of direct injection connected to a transmission of continuous variador (CVT) and an electrical motor of 100 KW, about 136 CB. Parallel is a hybrid architecture. This hybrid has, besides the advantage of being able to recharge in house, solar panels to increase the autonomy noticeably, although they would not serve to circulate of free. When it exhausts the batteries will circulate consuming gasoline.

Hyundai Blue-Will Concept:

The ion battery polymeric lithium lodges under the back seat to maximize the size of the backpage of this car. The first world-wide application of this type of battery on a large scale will send Hyundai to it with the Elantra LPI Hybrid, that leaves on sale in the month of Julio of this year. On the other hand it is a more ecological car when using extracted bio plastics from plants and fossil fuels, that are not dangerous for the enviroment. It will be necessary to hope upon presentment to know more details.

Piaggio show us this new update of the Scooter Carnaby, calling it Carnaby Cruiser 300 IE. that now it mounts already the well-known motor Quasar from Piaggio in its version 300. The first thing that calls attention is the new design of the instrument board, now, but of the style “handlebars and clocks” that completely careened of the previous edition.

Just as the frontal, that incorporates a divided grid that is displaced the light again to the handlebars. Light that includes “cerquillo” chromed that gives a classic line him but to the previous motorcycle against but the modern one. Visually the motorcycle seems much more retro that previous Carnaby 250.

In the mechanical part it is where we found the following newness, including now the motor Piaggio Quasar 300 that already we have seen in Super Vespa GTS 300. The piston displacement follows in 278 cc and 22.5 are credited 7250 CB to rpm with 23 a motor pair of 6000 Nm to rpm.

Just a little bit but and better given than the previous motor of 250 cc. The fuel tank is able to take 9.5 liters of which 2 are the reserve, and so the awaited autonomy is in 330 km almost 3.5 liters to 100 km, although in the official specifications they say that the motorcycle makes 2.7 liters to 100 60 km to Km/h.

Although its arrival to the Spanish concessionaires will not be until the end of May, all people interested in an Audi A4 allroad quattro already can reserve its unit in the concessionaires of Audi.

The newness is that a new motorization is added to already presented in the Hall Geneva. As you remember, a diesel gasoline engine or two variants was offered with. The new motor will be the 2,0 143 TDI of CB with DPF and it will be offered like model of entrance to range, to a price of 39,350 Euros.

A logical movement and that some people do not understand, is how this announcement was done first than before the Sweden hall. The bad thing is that he will be available on September, being until that moment the model cheapest the one than CB with DPF takes to the motor 2,0 170 TDI of, from 41,750 Euros.

In the back part of Mazda CX-7 the optical have been replaced by very similar ones to those of the previous model , characterized by white crystals, but with a slightly different design.

The Mazda CX-7 ccounts also with rims of 18 inches again design, that are of 19 inches in the finished Luxury.

AC Schnitzer presents its preparation for BMW Series 7 under the name of AC Schnitzer ACS7. What can be made with the greatest saloon car of BMW to give a sport touch him without falling in stridencies?

The ambiguity of AC Schnitzer, neither very sport nor very discreet, is suitable for a great saloon car in size and personality. As habitual it, the rims of this car are the protagonists of the AC Schnitzer ACS7, in two different models to choose, both in 22 inches and with a finished polished metalist and leveled the rim on the brink of madness.

In the frontal side we see a small apron under the characteristic kidneys of BMW. Perhaps in the photography we appreciated a hollow in the grid of the apron with which it seems to be an antenna, of the proximity radar that Series 7 offers like option. In the rest of the body a discreet aileron in the inner door or a fin in the ceiling is distributed to some details like. In the back part also we found a diffuser not very showy, when painted being in the color of the body, and an escape chromed to each side.

Toyota Verse is the renovation of Corolla Verse, it is the compact monovolume of Toyota that modifies its name, aesthetic and motor. Toyota announces as its main characteristic the use of the denominated technology “Toyota Optimal Drive”, that means an increase of the power and the reduction of the consumption. Attention to the comfort of the passengers, especially to those of the last row has been lent (7 places), and to the modularity, with the system Toyota Easy Flat-7 that allows to fold the five seats of the back part of independent form.

According to Toyota, the motor 2,0 D-4D of new the Toyota Verse will be best in its category (that means: monovolume of seven places) with respect to CO2 emissions, emitting 140 g/km. Besides this motor renewing there will be another 2,2 D-CAT with automatic change of six speeds, and two motors renewed 1,6 and 1,8, this last one with the option of a new change with variable continuous transmission denominated Multidrive S. Toyota Verse will appear in the Hall Geneva next to the another newness of Toyota, the European presentation of new the Toyota Prius. The present model part of 22,000 Euros with a motor 1,8 gasoline of 129 CB.

Days ago the rumors of a presentation in the Hall Frankfurt of the new model of the house of Maranello founds out and they have already appeared the first photos spy than until now it is known like Ferrari F142 (internal code). Still it is in a moment for seeing something novel, since the outside is practically the same that the one that we are customary to see in the Ferrari F430, but by changes completely logical because one is a model of tests.

The rumors said that the new name will be Ferrari F450 and if the rules in the nomenclatures follow here present, we will be expected for a new motor the 500 V80 4,5 that say will surpass CB. A number not very preposterous, since it does not suppose an excessive increase of power with respect to the present time.

The gear box is possibly the same that is used in the Californian Ferrari California, a change of seven relations and double clutch, that so good results it is in the last giving to roadster of the mark. With the use of this change, the Ferrari F450 will be benefit of better performances and will help to reduce to consumptions and emissions. Reduction that also will secure thanks to the use of light materials and one more an optimized aerodynamics. The numbers that Car Magazine advances speak of a reduction of 25% in the emissions with respect to the present time. A great advance for Ferrari, that demonstrates that it wants to be something greener. In addition, they advance also to us that probably Ferrari is working in adapting the recovery system of kinetic energy KERS of Formula 1 to its cars of street and first in making use of this technology will be this new model. In September, we will leave doubts.

It lacked a variant of the TechArt Magnum to arrive and, by all means, it will be in the Hall Geneva. With this new preparation on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, we can say that the Magnum forwards takes a step in its extremism. The genetic modifications that TechArt has in its motor V8 4,8 with the Performance Kit T2.2 has done raise the power to him until the 680 CB (130 CB more), whereas the pair rises until the 900 Nm, given when the tachometer marks the 4,200 rpm. The Performance Kit T2.2 composes a series of elements like a new switchboard, Turbo speed, escapes, air cleaner, water pumps and oil, induction manifold of high benefits, sport catalyst and new exhaust manifolds. That has not left hardly anything of series.

With all these changes, the benefits of the TechArt Magnum Turbo S approach more the category of sport that to the one of  “all landers”. In order to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h needs only 4.2 seconds, whereas km/h takes 14.5 seconds in doing the 0 to 200. Its terminal velocity is of 308 km/h. As it is seen in the image, the new suspensions reduce their peak altitude in 30 mm To the being a pneumatic suspension, can be raised or to lower its height to taste of the consumer, with a route of up to 110 mm Although seeing the data of its benefits, most logical will be to always take it under minimums, reason why it can happen.

As far as the aesthetic one, it seems that it does not defer much from the previous versions of the TechArt Magnum. These changes concentrate in paragolpes front with larger air intakes, bumper back with integrated diffuser and lateral “keeps muds”. The rims, model Formulates and Formulates II, can be chosen in measures that go from the 20 to the 23 inches. Diurnal lights with technology LED are also added. For the interior the new one has been created finished Soothes Classic S, synonymous of high quality in which to leather tapestries it talks about. A new sport steering wheel is added and the seats are redesigned to contribute a sport and elegant aspect. Like newness, these seats integrate the conditioned air.
