Lotus… can!

.

According to the words of the head of Lotus, Eric Boullier, his team has shown a very positive image in the tests, which means he will fight hard for the podium.

Lotus this year seemed to be able to fight and take a better position than last year. The head of Lotus is very satisfied with the performance of his team, while he did not disappoint and did not lose his stamina at all when during the winter tests in Jerez, one car had some problems with its chassis. It may have delayed the team's schedule a bit, nevertheless with hard work they managed to find the E20 in the last tests of the season, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing first on the final day in Barcelona.

More specifically, Eric Boullier mentioned that they are very close to the strong teams (Red Bull and McLaren) and the time difference has decreased quite a bit compared to last year. So, this year, with enough pressure and certainly a bit of luck, the E20 will follow the... fast cars, perhaps threatening their position.

Facelift for the Hyundai i20 in Geneva

Hyundai today released the first photos and features of the facelifted i20, which will be at the Geneva Motor Show in the coming days.
The refreshed i20 features the design philosophy (fluidic sculpture) of the brand, while revealing that it is also equipped with new economic engines. Undoubtedly, the new stylistic touch was long awaited, since it is natural for the rest of the company's new-renewed models to follow. Specifically, the appearance changes are the new front and rear bumper, the mask, the grill, the hood, as well as the new front and rear lights.

The most important upgrade, however, was made in the mechanical part of the small model. Under the hood, the Hyundai i20 FL houses a 3-cylinder diesel engine 1,1 l, which yields 75 horsepower. Hyundai with Blue Drive technology has managed to achieve the lowest CO2 emissions of all passenger cars sold to date and is 84 ml/km. But for those who want a little more horsepower, the i20 FL can also be equipped with a diesel engine 1,4 l. which yields 90 horsepower and emits 84 g/km CO2.

Volvo: The pedestrian airbag

The Swedish brand made another world first, which applied to the new V40 model the pedestrian protection technology through a… external airbag.
In order to mitigate the consequences if a collision with a pedestrian is unavoidable, the Volvo V40 is equipped with the world's first airbag for pedestrians- a security feature that has been fully developed very recently.

Its operation is as follows: Sensors in the front bumper record the extent of contact between the car and the pedestrian. The back of the hood (in front of the windshield) is raised thus reducing the angle of attack of the trunk towards the car, while at the same time the airbag is activated. The area of ​​the airbag covers the raised hood area and below 1/3 of the windscreen – including the two front pillars (A pillars). The combination of the action of the raised hood and the airbag, especially helps to limit pedestrian injury from the vehicle.

Επίσημα το Roding Roadster 23

Μετά το σκίτσο που είχε διαρρεύσει πρόσφατα σχετικά με το Roding Roadster, επίσημα πλέον η εταιρεία παρουσίασε το Roding Roadster 23 λίγο πριν το ντεμπούτο του στη Γενεύη.
Το νούμερο 23 σημαίνει ότι η παραγωγή του εντυπωσιακού μοντέλου θα περιοριστεί σε μόλις 23 points. Όσο για την κατασκευή του, είναι φτιαγμένο από σασί τύπου CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) και το υπόλοιπο αμάξωμα αποτελείται από ελαφρύ αλλά πολύ ανθεκτικό πολυεστέρα. also, η οροφή, που μπορεί να αφαιρεθεί, είναι κατασκευασμένη και αυτή από CFRP.

Το βάρος του εντυπωσιακού μοντέλου είναι μόλις 950 kilos, ενώ μηχανικά εφοδιάζεται με έναν 6κύλινδρο κινητήρα της BMW που αποδίδει 320 horses and 450 Nm torque. Το μοτέρ του συνδυάζεται με ένα 6τάχυτο μηχανικό κιβώτιο με την κίνηση να μεταδίδεται στον πίσω άξονα με μια… ενδιάμεση στάση από ένα μπλοκέ διαφορικού που περιορίζει την ολίσθηση. The process of 0-100 km / h is completed in 3,9 δλ. και η μέση κατανάλωσή του περιορίζεται στα 8,2 lt./100 km.

Στο εσωτερικό του υπάρχει ένα δερμάτινο σαλόνι με δύο bucket της Recaro και με ζώνες 4ων σημείων. also, το σύστημα πολυμέσων αποτελείται από μια οθόνη αφής 6,1 ιντσών της Alpine με πολλαπλές δυνατότητες. Η τιμή του είναι προς το παρόν ακόμα άγνωστη, ενώ ο χρωματισμός του θα είναι μοναδικός.
