New Mercedes S-Class....The future of motoring

Synonymous with prestige and luxury, the S-Class will retain the title of pioneer in innovative technologies in its next generation as well, before these are passed on to the rest of the mass-produced models.
Either we like super luxury cars or we think of them as a utopian sign of vanity, η Mercedes S-Class έχει το δικό της ξεχωριστό ενδιαφέρον. Η γερμανική λιμουζίνα αποτελεί εδώ και δεκαετίες, σε κάθε της γενιά, carrier of important technological innovations that ultimately make it a true pioneer, since its systems are gradually and later transferred to the rest of the smaller mass-produced models. This is expected to happen in the next generation of the S-Class which will be presented 2013 και την οποία αποκαλύπτουμε εδώ σε αποκλειστικότητα.

Mε σημαντικές νέες τεχνολογίες άνεσης και ασφάλειας
Ο «πακτωλός» ψαγμένων τεχνολογιών άνεσης και ασφάλειας που φέρει σήμερα η S-Class αναμένεται να περάσει, σε ακόμα πιο εξελιγμένη μορφή, στο καινούριο μοντέλο. Choosing the most important of them, we expect the next S-Class to incorporate, including, systems such as Advanced Night View Assist Plus (infrared night vision and many possibilities), Speed Limit Assist (Speed ​​limit recording and display technology on the instrument panel), Αctive Body Control (Active body control).

Emphasis on ecological profile
The S-Class could not fail to become an ideal field for the development of new ecological technologies. After the hybrid version S400 Hybrid which has been around for more than a year now, Mercedes engineers now seem to have invested even more in this area, preparing a more complete hybrid version with the possibility of recharging even in an outlet. (plug-in).
Considering that today's S 400 Hybrid has a motor 3,5 liters with 279 horsepower, average fuel consumption 7,9 lt./100 km. and CO2 emissions barely 186 g/km, then it is estimated that we will see the new model with an average consumption close to 7,0 lt./100 km. and CO2 respectively with those of a small and medium model.

Future Audis – With steps full of confidence…

The German brand is preparing for the immediate or even more distant future a series of extremely interesting new models. Audi has placed particular emphasis on the development of the next generation of the A3. Of course things could not be different since we must not forget that this is one of the most successful models in the history of the German brand.

The exclusive, electronically processed, spy photo of the small and medium model shows that the new generation of the A3 will adopt many new and innovative elements in the appearance, όπως άλλωστε το ίδιο θα συμβεί και στον τομέα της τεχνολογίας.

Για το λόγο αυτό θεωρούμε πως πρόκειται για το «ωριμότερο» αλλά και για το πιο οικολογικό Α3 που έχουμε δει. By design, σίγουρα έχουμε να κάνουμε με ένα εξαιρετικά μοντέρνο αμάξωμα που συνδυάζει με τρόπο ιδανικό κόμπακτ διαστάσεις, premium ύφος και σημαντικά πιο δυναμικό στυλ σε σχέση με το σημερινό μοντέλο.

In the foreground are the small turbos
At the base of the A1 range we will see the new TFSI 1,2 liter, with performance 105 horses. Immediately after, he will follow 1,4 TFSI possibly in upgraded performance 130 and 160 horses. At 2 liters, there will be again the 2,0 TFSI with performance between 210 and 250 horses, while for the top S3, the power will again be at 265 horsepower. A very important element is Audi's intention to bring the Start system as standard in all engines&Stop, so as to further ensure lower emissions and limited consumption. The diesel engines will be similarly developed in the new A3 1,6 and 2,0 liter. Presentation fees 2012. Unknown when exactly it will be launched.

With a glance…
– New generation with a more dynamic appearance
– Only with turbo engines from 105 to 265 horsepower
– With ecological start/stop technologies and energy recovery from braking

How to "read" the tire

In the profile of a tire there are several indicators and many numbers that testify to several "secrets" about the quality, the age and durability of the tire.
We translate these unknown words for you, so you know everything about your "steps"..

1. MAX PRESS: Maximum pressure indication 2. MAX LOAD: Maximum load indication according to DOT (Min. US Transportation)
3. TREADWEAR: Wear indicator
4. TRACTION: Adhesion index
5. TEMPERATURE: Heat Dissipation Index.
6. 215: Tread width in mm.
7. 65: Tire profile height (Ratio percentage of the size of the side section, by tread width per cent).
8. R (Radial): Tire type (radial linen construction).
9. 15: Rim diameter in inches.
10. 96: Load indicator.
11. V: Speed ​​Indicator.

New Italian Disco Volante Concept

Its new original model called Disco Volante 2012 Concept is preparing the lot…special Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera in order to present it in a few days in Geneva.
Another special model is expected to be added to the special range of the "sophisticated" Italian house Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. This is Disco Volante 2012 which will be presented as a prototype at the Geneva show in a few days.

 Older Italian car fanatics among you may remember the legendary Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante. The aesthetics of the new prototype is based very much on the historical model of Alfa Romeo which seems to successfully combine retro style and modern dynamism.

As highlighted by Carrozzeria, the new concept is based on a body entirely made of carbon fiber and other individual elements of aluminum, with the construction being done by hand. It is also emphasized that thanks to the special design style it incorporates, an aerodynamic drag coefficient of just 0.25Cd has been achieved, a very low number that creates conditions for low consumptions.
Whether this is of course possible is another story…since under its hood it houses a beastly V8 engine 4,7 liters with power 450 horses.

New Ford Mondeo

After the new Focus, and the next generation of Ford Mondeo will be a global model, aiming to satisfy the diverse needs of a large number of buyers of the German family model.
Ford had declared it from within 2011 and parallel, he had shown it in practice, through the presence of the Frankfurt Evos prototype: The,now it's time to move on to the evolution of the design philosophy of its cars (i.e. of the famous Kinetic Design) and bring us future models with an even more dynamic and premium presence. And true to her schedule, Ford presented us with the new generation of Mondeo (or Fusion in the US) which we will see in Europe at its beginnings 2013 and which will be the first of the new models, which have been influenced by the new design philosophy.
Alongside, the new midsize Ford will be the brand's first global family, since it will be sold the same – only the name changes – in North America, in Asia and Europe.


Emphasized dynamism
More cast lines, new grille with a large grille and long narrow front lights, but also a lower roof that casts furtive glances towards the 4-door coupes, are the main features of the presence of the new Mondeo. In the back section, the raised volume and trapezoidal lights are reminiscent of the corresponding part of the current Mondeo, without, however, depriving anything of the modern quality of the car. Dimensionally, it is too early to know the exact figures of the new midsize Ford, but it is expected not to be significantly different from the current Mondeo, and maybe only the lower ceiling will make a difference. Overall though, the new Mondeo is expected to be even more dynamic and imposing than before.

Even more high-tech interior
The interior of the new Ford Mondeo may not have been officially unveiled, but it is not expected to differ from what the company showed us in the American Fusion. So at first sight, it seems that, we will see a fairly modern result that will convey the high technological background of the car. The design of the dashboard is impressive, which looks set to have two large digital displays on either side of the centrally-mounted speedometer, to display the tachometer, but also the navigation system and trip computer information. Corresponding high-tech elements are incorporated in the central console, with the large info screen dominating the Sony sound system. In the quality field, we again expect high standards for class data, while Ford refers particularly to the part of significantly improved sound insulation.



In the spotlight again are the EcoBoosts
In the new Ford Mondeo the gasoline engines of the EcoBoost series that we met in the renewed existing Mondeo, they will once again be the main protagonists of the range. With turbo and direct injection, these motors of 1,6 and 2,0 liter, they will combine very good performance and performance, with fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. Alongside, in the range there will again be diesel engines in corresponding displacements with those of gasoline engines. However, it is possible that for the first time in its history, the new Mondeo will also receive hybrid versions, so as to offer even more economy and ecology of movement. In everything,what about his American "brother"., the Fusion, there we have already seen its hybrid versions that use a gasoline engine for their movement 2,0 liters and an electric motor. The "simple" hybrid uses the energy stored in the batteries, while the other, under the name "Energi", it can also charge the batteries from an external power supply.

Our point of view
We welcome the new Mondeo to Ford's global model range, since it seems that it will be even more qualitative, technologically advanced and dynamic compared to today. We certainly hope so, Ford should also globalize the hybrid versions of the model and not keep them only for the USA., but let's see them in Europe at some point. Sure, would be good in this case, the thermal motor must not be 2 liters, but smaller displacement...

The station wagon version of the Chevrolet Cruze is also ready

With a very interesting appearance and intense doses of practicality, the station wagon body version of the Cruze is coming soon to strengthen the lineup of the Chevrolet family.
Having already cleared a very positive commercial course, the Cruze is gradually getting new additions to its range which are expected to further enhance its commercial profile. So after the 4-door Cruze we know and the 5-door Cruze hatchback that was launched recently, the family Chevrolet is expected to get a station wagon body version which will be officially presented at the Geneva show next March.
Initially, our interest is located both in the aesthetics of the car which looks very interesting and modern, contrary to what is the case with many station wagons that lag far behind in design.
Also, at the level of practicality, Chevrolet emphasizes that its new model has luggage space 500 liter, a number that triples when the rear seats are folded down.
In what has to do with the motors of the length 4,59 model meters, its range is not going to differ substantially from what we already know, with a gasoline engine 1,6 and 1,8 liters but also with a very interesting diesel 1,7 liters of power 132 horsepower and with barely CO2 119 gr / km.
