The Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCT is available in Greece

Immediately available in Greece is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with the double clutch and dry-type automatic transmission "Alfa TCT".
This box will be applied to the Giulietta with their 1.4TB MultiAir 170 horsepower and with the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 of 170 horses. With the gasoline engine, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which is combined with the TCT gearbox, is available in Progression and Distinctive versions for a price 24.250 and 25.550 euros respectively (23.290 and 24.590 euro with withdrawal). With the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 170 The Giulietta is available in the Distinctive version with 30.200 euro (from 27.730 with withdrawal).
 The TCT automatic transmission (Twin Clutch Technology) it ensures greater comfort and an increased sporty feeling compared to a conventional automatic transmission combined with improved performance and lower consumption. Thanks to 1.4 TB MultiAir 170HP, the Giulietta with the Alfa TCT transmission has top speed 218 km/h and acceleration 0-100 km/h in just 7,7 δλ. But even with these performances, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are particularly low: 5,2 lt./100 km. is the average price of consumption, at a time when CO2 emissions are 121 gr / km.
The same applies to the diesel engine 2.0 JTDM-2 of 170 horses. Even compared to the manual version of the same engine, the version with the Alfa TCT gearbox accelerates from 0 στα 100 km/h in 7,9 instead of 8,0 δλ. and average consumption falls from 4,7 στα 4,5 lt./100 km. Accordingly, CO2 emissions from 124 are reduced to 119 gr / km.

 Depending on the driver's wishes, the Alfa TCT cooperates with the Alfa D.N.A. system, the brakes, the engine and dynamic control system. So the transmission can vary the speed of the gear change, to control torque delivery on roads with low traction, to operate completely automatically, or to be used as a serial with the selection of ratios from the selector or the special paddles behind the steering wheel. The "Alfa TCT" transmission essentially consists of two parallel transmissions, each of which has its own clutch. Thus it is possible to select the next relationship when the previous one is already in use. The change is made by a simple and smooth exchange of the relevant discs, which ensures a continuous supply of torque and traction.

In relation to "wet" dual clutch transmission systems, the Alfa TCT has limited operating costs and, compared to classic automatic transmissions, lower consumption up to 10% (thanks also to the use of the Start system&Stop). One of the advantages of the "dry" technology used by Alfa TCT is its compact dimensions, the minimization of friction losses and no need for oil cooling, therefore the absence of the need for an oil pump. As a result of the above, the reduced 6% consumption in relation to boxes "baptized" in oil.

The first images of the new Aprilia Caponord

The first unofficial photos of the new Italian mega on-off are now a fact! Strikingly reminiscent of the flagship RSV4, the new Caponord is expected to be produced in two versions.
The photos you see were taken during the Piaggio Group's annual dealer conference, in Monte Carlo, from the Italian magazine Motociclismo.
The model you see is the more asphalt version of the new Caponord and has cast aluminum wheels 17 inches. According to the Motociclismo website (Motociclismo.it), a "dump" model will also follow, for the most adventurous riders. This will carry spoked wheels with the diameter of the front not exceeding, in any case, them 19 inches. So two versions, with one facing the asphalt and the other playing the role of the all-round model for the new "Capo" in an attempt by the Italian company to satisfy as many riders as possible.
From these first pictures you could tell that the new Caponord is based entirely on the Dorsoduro 1200. However, according to information, some parts of the motorcycle frame have been studied from scratch, so that driving behavior is not disturbed, because of the posts with the longest routes. The exhaust, which has moved lower and to the right, is of course also different. The front discs are diam 320 mm. and are combined with radially mounted calipers, the fork is inverted and adjustable, while the rear shock absorber is almost vertically mounted to the standards of the rest of the company's models that use a hybrid chassis (aluminum plates combined with steel grid).
End, in the electronic systems of the new Caponord we expect to see both the three mappings for the injection of the two-cylinder engine 130 horses, as of course the rear wheel traction control system.

The first images of the Citroen Berlingo facelift

Renewed both in terms of design and equipment is the Citroen Berlingo for the 2012 and according to all information, within the year it will also be launched on the Greek market.
According to the first data announced by Citroen, Berlingo has received several upgrades for the 2012 concerning both its design and equipment and mechanical parts.
Improved aesthetics
Regarding body design, the facelifted Berlingo has a new bumper and grille to show off, with larger air intakes as well as new lighting bodies with integrated turn indicators and the possibility of placing "smarter" lighting bodies that follow the movement of the steering wheel.
At the same time, the fog lights that are located at the ends of the bumper are of a new design.
Inside, not much has changed, however, the French company is announcing new investments.

Excellent transportation capabilities are maintained
The large load-carrying capabilities that the Berlingo has to offer will continue to be one of its key features.
With useful volume up to 4,1 k.m. and large opening for both side and rear doors, the Berlingo offers the possibility of transporting up to two Euro pallets inside.
Improved equipment and eco-friendly new engines
Regarding his equipment, the renewed Berlingo will now be equipped with new elements such as "Grip Control" which helps to improve the traction of the driving wheels. "Hill-Start Assist" has also been integrated into this system, which assists the driver when starting in places where the road has a strong slope.
But beyond these systems, the renewed Berlingo will offer both the options of one petrol engine and four diesel engines distinguished by their limited emissions (from 123 to 164 g CO2/ km).
Finally, it is worth noting that an important addition to the Berlingo's mechanical parts is the six-speed automatic transmission that is controlled through a rotary switch on the dashboard and special selectors on either side of the steering wheel to change gears.

More specifically, ABT "teased" the appearance of the A5 with changes to bumpers, discrete aerodynamic aids, new side sills, new posts, new exhaust system, but also a more efficient braking system. The model rides on size rims 19 or 20 inches, depending on the customer's wishes, which are designed for the specific car.

The 5-door version of the Seat Mii

Finally, Seat proceeded with the presentation of the new 5-door Seat Mii, which is based on the 3-door model and the official launch will take place this summer.
The new 5-door Seat Mii has no stylistic difference from the 3-door model, except for the two extra doors at the back of the car. So, the dimensions remain small and specifically its length is 3,56 meters, its width 1,64 meters and its wheelbase extends to 2,42 meters.
In each case, the Mii is essentially a close relative of the VW up! και Skoda Citigo. However it is obvious that the people at Seat have made their own interventions to the car which looks very modern and overall extremely interesting.
also, under its hood we meet, a new gasoline engine 1,0 liter in power versions 60 and 75 horses, while its consumption starts from 4,5 l. /100 km. It is interesting to note that the total weight of the car is just 854 kilos, while the Ecomotive version (and with start/stop) has CO2 emissions of just 96 g./km and the consumption of this particular version reaches up to 4,1 lt./ 100 km. End, Seat has "gifted" its new model, among other things, with the optional panoramic sunroof.
