ΚΤΜ RC25 made in India

Rumors that a model is being prepared in the rapidly growing category of sports 250 cc from KTM existed since the release of the list of motorcycles that would enter the US market for 2013.

There, when you arrived at the KTM models you found gia to 2014 one with 250 cubic and road motorcycle features. So given the presence of the company's racing motorcycle for Moto3, a "mild" variant of it for road use was the obvious answer.

The information is coming to be confirmed by the Indian side now, with the news that the production of the motorcycle starts there 2013 with a view to launching it for 2014.

However, although production is confirmed, The same is not true of the origin of the "KTM RC25" genes. It will not be a relative of the racing Moto3, not a shaped Duke but a scaled motorcycle, with obvious affinity for KTM 1190 RC8 R.

KTM's naming tactics are being reformed to make it clearer from the beginning what it's all about. The direct competitors, the Honda CBR250R, Kawasaki Ninja 250R / 300 and the upcoming Yamaha 250cc mention the whole displacement and not just a code name.

As it will be a model aimed at markets around the world - not just India- there will be several variations of it. Both in terms of the degree of "clothing", but also in terms of displacement, as he did with the Duke. They started as 125, later came out as 200 and Duke is expected by summer 390.

The new KTM RC25 will be produced in Chakan, Bajaj factory near Pune city, India. This will keep the construction cost low in order to become competitive with the securitized- Japanese opponents, in European markets and B.. Of America.

Rumors complicate the issue of engine form, as there are references to each layout. From single cylinder (the most prevalent) up to two cylinders in V arrangement but also in series. The performance will reach them 30 horses in the version of 250 κεκ. and will surpass them 45 in the later version of 390 κ.εκ.

In any case, KTM aims only at the top of the class as the RC25 will be the first motorcycle with full fairing in the small class in the history of the Austrian factory. Redeeming the sweeping course of KTM in the World Championship and Moto3.

In my case, Nevertheless, I think I have done some things, if they want you, they usually call you themselves. […] It's a bit difficult of course. Not that everyone is racist and because I have done a serial and a daily they wouldn't choose me, but it is a little more difficult to break into the field of culture, when you have done commercial theater every day. It's a little more difficult!”.

Ana Carrasco is the first woman in Moto3

In the tests in Valencia he passed almost half the riders

With team JHK T-shirt Laglisse and under the supervision of team manager Pablo Nieto, or Ana Carrasco did the first tests with her new bike at the Valencia circuit.

The 16-year-old Spaniard will become the first woman to participate in the Moto3 category and she does not just "complement" the entries, but comes down with claims of collecting points.

He barely made time in the tests 2 seconds slower than the fastest of the day, Maverick Viñales, 1 second from 5th fastest and 2/10 of the second from the 15th and last to be scored.

He achieved the 20th year in between 32 drivers and among them Lorenzo Baldassarri, champion of the Red Bull Rookies cup the 2011 which was 23rd.

Ana Carrasco stated: "The press is always more interested if a girl participates in such a sport than a boy because it is rare and new. Personally, however, this does not particularly concern me as we are competing on equal footing".

"In the Spanish championship I can say that the boys were annoyed when I passed them in the race or if I finished in front of them. Some drivers know me from last year, but those who don't know me I think would be surprised to see me here. However, they should get used to the fact that there will be a woman among them".

Nieto added: “I think it's difficult for all girls to perform in a male-dominated space. It's tough for a girl to play a sport where she might have a fall, to fight in the track with boys or even men".

"Ana is young and has all this very clearly in her mind. I know very well that he can do great".

The young Spaniard was born on 10 Of March 1997 in Murcia and on 7 April when the games start in Qatar, will have marginally completed the 16 her years, age limit for participation in the world championship.

She was the first woman to score points in the Spanish CEV Championship 125 the 2011 and will be the first to compete in Moto3.

However, she is not the first woman to participate in a world championship, as in the past Katja Poensgen led the way in the two-year-olds then, 250 and was the first historically to be graded in the institution. Also Elena Roesel participated 2012 in the middle class, the Moto2.

Alfa Romeo 4C: Love at first sight!

This year Alfa Romeo decided to celebrate him… Saint Valentine 2 days earlier, revealing the production version of the most beautiful car of the year!
If you consider the car to be nothing more than a means of transport, think again. THE, better, take a few moments to browse the photos of the new Alfa Romeo 4C, in its final production form. Much has been written about the taste and elegance of the Italians, but here they really outdid themselves. Even more so if one connects to this visual effect the history of the name that the specific model carries, as well as its technical characteristics.

So this is Alfa Romeo's new little supercar, which will make its first public appearance at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The concept of a "small supercar" might sound funny, but in practice it is about this.

Starting with the dimensions, the 4C does not exceed the 4 meters in length, the moment its width touches the 2 meters and the height reaches just 1,18 meters. The wheelbase, in turn, is less than 2,4 meters. In other words, it is a model with the length and width of a small car… Ferrari.

New engine 240 horses
For the needs of movement, Alfa Romeo engineers took care to develop a new turbocharged engine 1,75 liter, which they did not even place in front, under the hood but in the center of the car. This one works 240 horsepower, transferring the power to the rear axle, through a sophisticated double box, dry clutch, Alfa TCT.

This power, combined with the very low weight of the car, which remains below the 1.000 kilos (thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and carbon fiber) ensures a weight/power ratio marginally below 4, which is one of the best in a production car.

Alfa DNA with Race option
The Alfa Romeo 4C also marks the premiere of the new Alfa DNA selector, which offers the three standard options we have known so far -Dynamic, Natural and All Weather- but he adds one more: the Race, designed to further enhance the driving experience on racetracks.

Alfa Romeo's new small supercar will be built at Maserati's factory, in Modena, Italy. Its availability will start in the coming months, while, according to information, the 2014 we will also see its Stradale version, with increased power 270 horses.
