Ferrari FF with 80% lower pollutants

This is a conversion to a Ferrari FF, which now with a simple kit, burns bioethanol. Result: horsepower shot up, and pollutants down!
The impressive first four-wheel drive Ferrari in history, also known as FF, is the model chosen by a conversion company in Norway (after a Mercedes ML63 AMG that was also successfully converted), as its next model that will use bioethanol for its movement.
The result was, more than satisfactory. Horsepower rose to 875 horses from "just" 660 of the regular version, and the pollutants of their V12 engine 6,3 liters decreased by 80%! The acceleration for the 0-100 h.a.o. also improved at 3,5 δλ. from the 3,7 δλ. of the regular version, and to think that the conversion kit costs just 1.500 euro!

In less than a year the new McLaren F1!

The new McLaren model that will be the worthy descendant of the legendary F1 is now in the works. The information states that it will use a V8 engine 3,8 liters with 800 horsepower.
The MP4-12C can be placed right among the top supercars, but who can forget his legendary McLaren F1 1992, and the "very" Gordon Murray who played the leading role in its implementation! So as we all expect, the even better McLaren, or else the worthy offspring of F1 is under development and will be presented in less than a year, according to the British special press.
In fact, there is a lot of information that has started to leak, and they want the model to literally look "unreal"., with "curves" in the roof for the heads of the passengers, reminiscent of racing construction.
But the important thing is what engine will be hidden under the hood, or else… behind the backs of the passengers. So the first information indicates that the new P12 will make use of a V8 as a whole 3,8 l, which, however, with two turbos will perform about them 800 horsepower! also, there is talk of using the KERS system also known by F1 (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which will further increase the model's HP for a few seconds.

End, the body will be carbon fiber but lighter than that of the MP4-12C while the starting price of the McLaren P12 will be 750.000 euro. Perhaps the only disappointment for those nostalgic for the first F1, is the fact that the company's CEO Anthony Sherrif has indicated that we will not see the three-seat layout with the driver in the center again! The reason is that, even though the engineers tested her, it changed the distribution and significantly altered the dimensions of the model.

In September the premiere for the new VW Golf!

According to all indications, at the Paris International Motor Show next September, VW is expected to officially present the seventh consecutive generation of the popular Golf.

Undoubtedly, the Golf is a model that marked the modern history of the automotive industry, recording excellent sales figures all over Europe. The 2012 is another very important milestone in its many years of history (SS.: we remind you that the first generation model was presented in 1974), as its seventh consecutive generation will be officially presented at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. But what's different?, in relation to the sixth, it is expected to bring with it the new Golf;

By design, despite the fact that the German small-medium hatch is expected to retain close ties to the past, its overall silhouette is expected to be more sporty and dynamic in character, thanks to its specific characteristics, which have already been curated by VW stylists led by Walter de Silva, as is the stronger inclination of the windshield, the narrowest mask, the smaller-sized LED technology lighting bodies at the front and the more curved configuration of the roof. From now on, inside the Mk7 VW Golf the changes are expected to be equally extensive, with the cabin having a driver-centric approach, the dashboard new aesthetics, but even better, in quality and touch, materials. Structurally, the new VW Golf will "step", as well as the new Audi A3 sibling, which will make its official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show, on the new flexible and… versatile in terms of the dimensions of the platform of the German group (see MQB, i.e. Modularer Querbaukasten in German and Modular Transverse Matrix in English). It is worth taking the opportunity to note that it is expected to "build" more than 3 million cars within the VW group and by extension many of the upcoming new Audi models (new A3 and TT), Skoda (new Octavia) and Seat (new Leon).

In the field of mechanical parts, VW executives are expected to follow the beaten track by placing under the hood of the car the well-known petrol and diesel engines of the TSI and TDI families, which will have a capacity of 1,2 until 2,0 liters and power up to 300 horsepower. It is also very likely that we will see 3-cylinder units under the hood of the new Golf (with turbo of course), while certainly in the near future it is expected, beyond the GTi version, and a plug-in hybrid. The familiar DSG gearboxes, either with 6 either with 7 relationships, they are considered out-of-the-box options anymore, combined with the well-known manual 6-speed gearbox of the group.

According to the information so far, the new Skoda Octavia is expected to be presented for the first time in the French capital, while in the current year - for now though, unknown when- the new Seat Leon is also expected.

Keeway RK600: New cheap street from China!

A new model called RK 600 Keeway announced. The new 4-cylinder motorcycle will be the first big street, from China, which will also be introduced to European markets.
According to the British journalist, Kevin Ash, where the first information came from, the RK6 is a bare 4 cylinder street, which will have a particularly low price and will be placed at the lower end of the category in terms of cost. Its design, as you can see in the photos it is quite modern. The rear shock absorber is mounted off-centre, the exhausts are under the saddle and the swingarm is reminiscent of SS motorcycles. The hybrid frame also manages to stand out.
Its front part is a grid and is made of steel while the back is made of aluminum plates. The image is completed by the inverted front fork and radially mounted 4-piston calipers.
According to the Brit, the 4-cylinder engine seems to come from Yamaha and even from a previous generation R6, while its performance is close to 90 horsepower. The first models for the M. of Britain are expected to make their appearance this Spring and it is possible that we will soon see it on the Greek market as well.

More details on the European VW CC

VW reveals even more details about the new CC (ex Passat CC) at an event, held in Nice, France, shortly before its sales start in Europe.
VW presented the updated Passat CC for the first time (Coupe-Comfort), which will now be called CC, in November at the Los Angeles show. The German brand though, just before the new sports sedan went on sale organized an event that took place in Nice, France. There, the specialist press enjoyed all the new features of the new CC, which has new lighting bodies with the LEDs integrated inside, rear LED lights, new bumpers, chrome details and a new trunk design.

Inside the CC we find an almost new image, while VW states that it will have rich standard equipment, which among others will be the fatigue detection system, the active head restraints, the new sound system, as well as the bi-xenon lights. As for optional equipment, can the customer select the lane change alert system, dead center detection system, massage seats and more.
Engines and gearboxes for Europe will remain unchanged. So, the CC is fitted with the TSI range (160, 210 and 300 horses) and TDI(140 and 170 horses) engines. It is worth noting that the 2-liter TDI performance engine 140 of horsepower with the manual 6-speed gearbox has a consumption of just 4,7 lt./100 km. End, all TDI engines will have the Stop/Start system as standard which further reduces consumption.
