The presentation of the new series 5 started with an interesting statistic. Above 5.555.555 5ares have been produced by 1972, so the first generation was introduced! This year's is the sixth consecutive generation and BMW's goal is, of course, in addition to increasing the above number, to establish itself as the world's most successful luxury car manufacturer.

Yamaha FZ1/Fazer
The golden ratio
 |
The FZ1 in two versions, the naked one and the Fazer with the half fairing, they are the second generation of Yamaha's big naked sports bikes, which began her life in 2001 with the then very impressive FZS 1000 To do. That first half-fairing four-cylinder combined the engine of the first-generation R1 (carburetor feed) with milder features and its frame was tubular steel. This motorcycle was the golden intersection between the supersport category and the tourist category. From the 2006, Yamaha modernized the original concept with a completely new chassis architecture: aluminum open with the engine bearing part of it, diamond shaped. Their 20-valve engine is now housed there 998 κ.εκ.
To suit his new role, the engine acquired cat’ first heavier vs 40% crankshaft (weight gain from 7.320 gr. στα 9.765 gr.). The new camshafts have less draft and duration, mainly to maximize performance at lower revs. In the gearbox the last two ratios are longer, so that the feel at cruising speeds is more relaxed, to reduce consumption and increase longevity.
The FZ1 has a completely new injection system, which does not use the ram air of the sportier R1. There is also a new stainless 4 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 2 The day for the draw of the two lucky ones 1 exhaust with exhaust gas pressure control valve (EXUP) and two catalysts. All these have raised the power to 150 horses at 11.000 s.a.l., quite above them 143 horsepower ratings of the old model. But the most important thing, since it is a road bike, is the fact that the new engine shows its torque lower.

Economy!  |
From their turbocharged engine 1.390 κ.εκ. we will start, speaking of Superb 1.4 TSI, not so much because it is the most affordable version of the model, but because here we are dealing with an engine 125 horses, that moves - and nimbly at that- a car 1.425 kg, consuming unexpectedly low amounts of gasoline. The average - real- consumption of 9,3 liters/100 km. (and even with traffic in the city mainly) it's an excellent price for a car of the Superb's volume and weight.
Our experience shows that we see similar consumptions in small, medium or super mini atmospheric 1400s, which in no way can compete with the performance of the Skoda limousine. To, Well, where turbos live and reign, proving that they did not arise in the mechanical world just to set off some small bombs, but -mainly- to reduce consumption, utilizing the thermal energy hidden in the exhaust gases. Torque is the big secret to keeping him 1.4 TSI on 1.500 – 2.500 rpm and move fast (if not yours… bear witness to cubism, you might even think you're driving it 1.8!) living in the realm of torque.

Saab Case The beginning of a new chapter

The beginning of a new chapter

Saab Automobile AB is known to the general public today as a Swedish car manufacturer that belonged to the General Motors group until recently. But the history of the company begins long before its acquisition, the 1990, from GM, with the construction of aircraft for the Swedish Air Force the 1937. With the end of World War II, Saab began to expand into the automotive field and the 1944 started building its first passenger car, the two-year Project 92, which was presented the 1949 as a Saab 92. The 1955, the car was boosted, improved and renamed Saab 93, with the company's then-new model bringing (and to establish) the trapezoidal mask known to this day.
However, it was the need for a larger model that led to the creation of Saab 99. Its distinctive design 99, the work of Saab's only designer until then, by Sixten Sason, sealed the future external features of the Swedish company, from Saab 900 until relatively recently 9-3 of the previous generation. But it wasn't just the design that led to success and contributed to the creation of a loyal and passionate customer base around the world. It was the continuous orientation towards innovation, which makes Saab's contribution to motoring far more important than its small size

Confirmation
After several years of upward trend in its sales, Hyundai in recent years had become very uncomfortable with the low-cost car maker label. Because this orientation cannot establish you among the industry leaders, as the Koreans aspired to, and anyway the new low cost manufacturers will gradually become the Chinese, which have a greater cost advantage than the Koreans. I had to, Well, immediately for Hyundai to find a new role as a "mainstream" manufacturer and that only in the technological field, functional and qualitative upgrade of its cars could offer, "closing the gap" with European and Japanese cars. The Koreans proved to be methodical and stubborn, and their latest models showed that this scissor closing was entirely possible. The appearance of the ix35 is another page in this new chapter of their story, with a car designed and built in Europe for Europeans and has the ambitious goal of repeating a major commercial success. Why Tucson?, which succeeds, corresponded to 20% of Hyundai sales in Europe, in whose markets the Korean company had a significant share in the recreational vehicle segment. continuity: trans.kathimerini.gr |
