As we eagerly await the arrival of the upcoming Lotus Esprit, the British automaker has released a teaser video that discusses the progress of its V-8 engine.

The video features Lotus CEO Dany Bahar and
an engine developer, whose long hair and loose-hanging jewelry gets uncomfortably close to some moving engine parts. The clip is purely a tease, as no engine specs or power outputs are provided.

“To take a decision to design your own engine is big decision,” Bahar says in the video. “It’s a brave decision and we’ve taken that decision.”

It’s been a year since we first learned and reported on the next-gen Lotus Esprit. It was rumored to receive a revised Lexus LS V-8 engine, but the news didn’t go over too well with many enthusiasts and Lotus loyalists alike. Lotus has since decided that it would be too costly to modify the Lexus mill, and established this new engineering program.

Hybrid Car Lovers, Safer You Are Now From Injury in Crash

Hybrid Car Lovers, Safer You Are Now From Injury in Crash
auto, cars, ford, honda, bmw, toyota, audi, nissan, mercedes, ferrari,new cars,new trends,class,modes

There is one more reason to love your hybrid cars. Besides providing fuel economy, these environment friendly models now offer you safety as well. A research by Highway Loss Data Institute, which studied 25 2003 to 2011 vehicles that featured both conventional and hybrid powertrains, concluded that the occupants in hybrid version are 27% less likely to be injured, in a crash, than those in the nonhybrid models.

Matt Moore, HLDI vice president, claims that the weight plays a critical role in this. Hybrid models on an average are10% heavier than their standard counter parts. This extra beef gives hybrid models an advantage in crashes as the heavier cars usually transfer force to the lighter vehicles.

This study would also be a relief to many of the green-minded drivers. Safety, which came as a trade off for saving fuel, was their major concern with the hybrid cars. However, it’s not a concern anymore.

This, also, is good news to the insurance companies as the green machines need only 25 percent less personal injury protection than their conventional counterparts.

On the flip side, this isn’t good news for pedestrians. The study claims that pedestrians might get involved in accidents as this car travels almost in a silent mode when in electric-only mode.

As the pedestrians can’t hear these cars approaching, when in electric only mode, HLDI suspects that people might step out into the roadway without checking what’s coming. They fear that the hybrid vehicles are 20 percent more likely to be involved in pedestrian crashes with injuries.

However, this can be solved by employing a sound alert system of some kind. Let’s hope that more and more hybrid vehicles would hit the road and contribute more to green environment

The hybridized 535i is based on BMW 535i sedan and engages BMW’s 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, an electric drive system and an eight-speed automatic transmission for the first time.

This is also their first hybrid machine employing an I-6 as its internal combustion engine.

The machine, which employs a precisely controlled energy management to the mix, also features BMW’s a 55-horsepower electric motor, for a total of 335 hp and a 5.7-second run to 60 miles per hour.

This hybridized 535i boasts not only of its sportiest performance, but also a double-digit percentage improvement in fuel economy over the BMW 535i based on preliminary results.

It also provides a relaxed and fuel-efficient driving style by tailoring the driving systems for maximum efficiency, including making more frequent use of all-electric mode.

Reports are that these models should be hitting the US roads early next year. As of now, fuel economy, prices and the other aspects are not known. But we believe that the official notification would follow soon.

Toyota Prius C Gears Up for Tokyo Show 2011

Toyota Prius C Gears Up for Tokyo Show 2011

It is a known fact that Toyota has a slew of new offerings in the green terrain. The Japanese auto giant is now planning a smaller hatchback version of the Prius. Referred to as Prius C, this smaller vehicle will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, which is round the corner.

However, we hear the US will have to wait a while after the January Detroit Motor Show to get to drive the Prius C.

This agile hatchback is hardly the size of a Yaris, but has impressive specifications under the hood. Toyota will couple the hybrid powered engine with yet to be exposed “high-output” electric motor with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine.

The car will boast less centre of gravity than its predecessor, thereby giving it better maneuverability and luggage space.

Meanwhile, reduced weight and a smaller, less powerful powertrain will ensure better fuel economy as well. Toyota boasts that the car can return over a 50 miles per gallon in the city rides, which would be matching the record fuel economy for any non-plug-in vehicle.

Honda AC-X in Tokyo Revealed Concept

Honda AC-X in Tokyo Revealed Concept
auto, cars, ford, honda, bmw, toyota, audi, nissan, mercedes, ferrari,new cars,new trends,class,modes

With the Honda AC-X concept revealed, the world of eco-friendly cars have found a new and better member to lead them to the factories. The superior design and highly efficient aerodynamic structure along with enhanced mileage will surely make this baby the top most sold out car of this decade

Honda has given its Insight Hybrid the four-door coupe treatment and has come away with the rather stylish and somewhat sporty Advanced Cruiser-X concept or AC-X for short.

The concept, which made its debut at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, packs the latest version of Honda’s plug-in hybrid drive train as well as a few nifty features that may come our way in the near future.

While the AC-X is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors, it also comes with ambitious future-thinking technology. Most notable among this technology would be its autonomous control, dubbed “Automatic Drive Mode Support”, which essentially tucks away the control yoke (many of Honda’s new concepts feature a yoke design instead of a traditional wheel) into the console dash, reclines the front seat and brings forth an ottoman for the driver’s legs to rest upon while auto navigating to its final destination.

Perhaps less ambitious are the numbers the AC-X produces. The plug-in hybrid electric is able to achieve an ‘EV-only’ cruising range of 50 kilometers (i.e. about 31 miles) and a maximum electric-only top speed of 100 kph which is roughly 62 mph. In short, for commercial use, AC-X is better than any other electric car in the markets today.

2011 Geneva Motor Show, 2012 Aston Martin Virage

2011 Geneva Motor Show, 2012 Aston Martin Virage
auto, cars, ford, honda, bmw, toyota, audi, nissan, mercedes, ferrari,new cars,new trends,class,modes

Competes with: Ferrari 458 Italia, Lamborghini Gallardo, Bentley Continental Supersports

Looks like: Every other Aston Martin

Drivetrain: 490-hp, 6.0-liter V-12 with six-speed automatic transmission; rear-wheel drive

Hits dealerships: May 2011

The Virage is a new V-12-powered sports car that's offered in coupe and convertible body styles. Pricing information hasn't been announced, but the Virage is designed to slot between the nearly $200,000 DB9 and almost $300,000 DBS in the automaker's lineup. It arrives at U.S. dealerships in May.

Even though it's a new model in the Aston Martin range, only ardent followers of the brand will likely be able to tell at a glance because the car looks remarkably similar to Aston Martin's other sports cars. It's a gracefully styled car, no question, but the automaker's designs are clearly meant to create a connection with the brand as opposed to individual models.

Like the DB9 and DBS, the Virage is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine, but its 490-horsepower output splits the difference between the 470-hp DB9 and 510-hp DBS. Unlike the DBs, which are available with either a manual or automatic transmission, the Virage is only offered with an automatic. With this setup, the Virage can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186 mph, according to Aston Martin. The car features an adaptive suspension and carbon ceramic brake discs.

Seven hand-stitched Bridge of Weir leather hides are used to upholster the cabin, which comes with standard heated seats, a navigation system, cruise control, and Bluetooth and iPod connectivity.....READ MORE

Toyota Release T/X Baja for Tacoma Special Edition

Toyota Release T/X Baja for Tacoma Special Edition
auto, cars, ford, honda, bmw, toyota, audi, nissan, mercedes, ferrari,new cars,new trends,class,modes

Toyota is launching a new hardcore special edition of its Tacoma pickup, built for the off-road racing enthusiast in all of us.

The new pickup, called the Tacoma T/X Baja Series, is inspired by desert truck racing like Mexico's grueling Baja 1000- A race where Toyota trucks have taken the win twice.

The T/X in the truck's name stands for Toyota Extreme, a pretty fitting name for Tacoma's newest and most hard core off-roader model. The T/X Baja trucks come with the TRD off road package, which includes an electronic locking differential, special traction control, hill start and hill descent controls.

The T/X Baja trucks shouldn't be too hard to spot on the road, each truck will get a relatively aggressive set of BF Goodrich tires, bead lock off-roading style wheels, a TRD exhaust and a massive graphic package.

A re-worked suspension gives the front end a two-inch lift, but make no mistake, the new setup is more than just looks. The normal equipment has been swapped out for some racing inspired Bilstein shocks and springs that give the truck more wheel movement and more sensitive damping.

Truck lovers will be able to pick up a Baja Series in two different flavors. The package is being tested on the Access and Double Cab versions of the Tacoma, and Toyota says it is considering a PreRunner model as well.

Under the hood, the T/X Baja trucks will be packing Toyota's 4.0 liter V6 engine which can be paired up with either an automatic or six speed manual gearbox.

The Baja comes with the other changes that were done to the Tacoma for 2012. All of the new pickups will sport a new hood, grill, headlights and front bumper. Tacoma interiors are set for some tweaking as well: The steering wheel, gauges and instrument panel are all different in the new trucks...READ MORE
