THE NEW GEM ‘’NISSAN SKYLINE SPEC-V’’

NISSAN SKYLINE SPEC-V
So do not break the design of new car companies. Today we are witnessing the same thing a number of super cars. In addition, the company does not get tired of working so hard for designers too (it would be necessary to find the secret of this energy too!) One company that is designing the cars are so simple, and recently has been a super car,
the designers do a lot for them. It is now the company is one of the most popular on the streets and has become a real connection to all producers. This plant is called a friend of Nissan. In 2007, Nissan had decided to take their cars to a new level and therefore the Nissan Skyline GT-R was released. Coming out like an old school Skyline supercar has received a lot of changes. It seems as if the whole car is not even the face of such land. This created a lot of chaos on the market, as it was one of the car, shifted the car is full of super street tuner cars. In 2009, Nissan introduced the variant of the car. This version is known as SpecV. However, this option had taken my life, when he appeared. New SpecV includes a new carbon fiber rear spoiler. With the brake duct and the grille is made of carbon fiber as well. The car is made in Black Opal black rims looks nice. Interior design is now a custom Recaro seats, carbon fiber console and panels are made of carbon fiber.

NISSAN SKYLINE SPEC-V

NISSAN SKYLINE SPEC-V
SpecV can be powered from a 3.8-liter V6 engine. New gear to increase the controller allows the car is increased impetus to provide more torque. Titanium exhaust with the assembly of the suspension made the car less than half as much as important as the upper half. SpecV has decided to launch in Japan only for now. So you should better put your chop sticks, not to buy this car is a big mistake.

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago

Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 1

The first clear pictures of the all-new 2012 Lamborghini Murciélago supercar surfed over the site today, which were apparently known as the "Jota" and replace the current Murciélago. The car going on sale early next year and it cost more than £ 300,000.
We all know, the Lamborghini Murciélago, is racing around the year 2002, and its time for him to rest, and let his successor take against the road. Lamborghini's engineers to be ready with a simple substitution of a super-awesome car. Taking steps to their first cold weather training VW / Audi test track somewhere in Scandinavia, following the test-driving super car caught by spy photographers.

2012 Lamborghini Jota Murciélago
It could have been a blisteringly cold Volkswagen / Audi 's secret testing location in Northern Scandinavia, but the prototype of the car was red hot: It's terrific replacement for the Lamborghini Murciélago. Buzzed, called the Jota (name off from the development of the Lamborghini 1970), by the Lamborghini supercar sure to be the largest yet from Sant'Agata Bolognese.

Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 3

2012 Lamborghini Jota Murciélago is powered by 7.0L V12 engine which is capable of between 700 and 720 of HP and it will take a super-car to an amazing top speed of 362 km / h! New Lambo has a function bespoke carbon composite body and chassis of an aggressive and dynamic, four-wheel drive system will come to an unusually mild.

Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 4

Sources indicate that this new Lambo will be less than 1500 kg weight, which will probably result in a breathtaking acceleration. Since the power to weight ratio is in the region 470 HP 1000 kg car is likely to accelerate 0-100 km / h in less than 3 seconds.
2012 Lamborghini Jota Murciélago is DSG transmission characteristics, because it would be too difficult and too expensive, but an engineer will come to the seven-speed sequential manual gearbox with the standard seven-speed paddle shift.

Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 5

It is also expected that the dual-clutch transmission can be used to transfer the right of the four wheels of the new Lambo. Another rumor is leaps and bounds around the new all-wheel drive system supplier Haldex of Sweden. Come through the newfound ease of aluminum / carbon-fiber version of the aluminum space frame Audi R8, which will replace the current Murciélago's steel hull. Other weight savings achieved by the use of lightweight body panels, but instead of the widespread use of carbon fiber, as originally thought, the Lamborghini with aircraft builder Boeing has apparently led to studies on other composites to yield a better cost-benefit ratio than the carbon fiber. Lamborghini's goal going forward is that each new car tips scales around 200 pounds in less than a car, they are replacing.

The Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept Car

Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Toyota wants to adolescent dreams about work, apparently.

FT-HS hybrid sports car concept will be premiered on January 7 at the North American International Auto Show, and we can expect, 50:50 weight distribution and the 400 + hp monster of transmission is very similar to the Lexus GS 450H: 3,5 liter V6,
related to the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) system (which may mean Sulev emissions, but no word on fuel economy yet). This may be the next Supra.

Interestingly, this is not a direct effect of the car on the environment, although we can expect that it is better than "traditional" V8 gasoline engine with the sports car will compete with the (lesser of two evils). No, the interesting thing is "halo" effect, it could, making hybrids cool and desirable new public. Even if they never end up buying this model, they saw technology and associate it with something they want, not what they do not.

Sportiness and elegant design are not mutually exclusive - at least Pls designers at Abt Sportsline Involved. "It is very Important to capture the character of the car and stressed the" unique, said

Hans-Juergen Abt, General Manager of Abt Sportsline Which explains the demands made by the creative department. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful Cabrio, Which are recognized as the real "Allgauer" not only Because of the typical 4-pipe exhaust units. The front of the grill ABT, that highlights an additional area around the headlights and fog lights, front apron and side sills - all Providing an open AS5 presence even more. Rear apron and exhaust perfectly matches the optical unit of exceptional vehicles. For Successful round of Appearances ABT recommends the BR-alloy brave the cold in 19 or 20 inches respectively. Companies from the Allgau course Also Offers wheel sets complete with high performance Tires.

The Cabrio AS5 is fresh air sports car, which was also fast in a custom-made suit. The engineers at Abt Sportsline ensure this. Currently there are four packages available to improve performance: with ABT POWER, which is the optimization of electronic engine management system, 2.0 TFSI receive a sporty 275 hp (202 kW) instead of the serial 180 hp (132 kW) or 211 hp (155 kW). With the 2.7 TDI, 190 hp (140 kW) into a high-torque 230 hp (169 kW). With three liters of diesel fuel was increased to 282 hp or 207 kW (standard serial: 240 hp / 176 kW). The ABT POWER technology for the S is also available with a V6 diesel engine capacity of the largest, which also uses the turbo charger Abt. 310 hp (228 kW) and then providing superior handling in all circumstances, and with a torque of 610 Nm, it was full steam. Logically, this power should also be restricted. The ABT braking unit or braking unit in accordance with the Abt sports extra performance potential of the Cabrio AS5 and provide the necessary safety reserves in the border situation.

The AS5 is open to a very great driving pleasure, especially of course when the sun shines. But even with the roof closed Cabrio beautiful looks really cool. Regardless of whether it is a car for a holiday or business - the latest addition from Abt Sportsline is a friend of the ideal in all situations.

Facelifted Elise - lower drag, new engine

Autocar brings news that Lotus has given the Elise a mild facelift and some new mechanicals. The new look brings the car in line with the styling of the Evora, but importantly also reduces drag which, combined with the new engine option, improves fuel economy and reduces emissions.

That new engine is a VVTi Toyota powerplant similar to those currently used in the Elise, but in a new 1.6 litre displacement. The new motor will power the basic Elise S model, and reduces emissions to 155g/km of CO2. As a conservative estimate, fuel economy should be in the early forties mpg, yet coupled to a new close-ratio six-speed gearbox, performance even from the basic 1.6 should be as impressive as ever.

The car is expected to start arriving in showrooms in April.

Smart Roadster to return?

This is the news Tarmac has been waiting for - Autocar has released details that Mercedes-Benz has applied for several patents for a new three-seater Smart, touted to be known as the ForThree, in keeping with the names of other Smart models.

As you can see from the images, the new car will have a seating layout similar to that of the McLaren F1 supercar, with the driver sitting centrally and passengers behind and to either side of the cockpit.

According to the drawings and Autocar, the central seat is designed to swivel and slide towards the door to ease access. The car could potentially use both petrol and diesel units that Smart currently produce, and it may even be available with an EV option by the proposed 2014 release date. Mercedes are also developing a dual-clutch seven-speed transmission for use in the next A-Class, and this may even find it's way into future Smarts such as the ForThree.

The first generation roadster was nowhere near as popular as it was expected to be, selling just over 43,000 units in its two year production run. If Mercedes and Smart can find the right price for the ForThree, they may well overcome the main hurdle the first model faced - it's expense compared to more powerful and practical rivals.

Tarmac will be keeping a keen eye on the progress of this story and will bring you further developments as they happen.

£1500, fun and 30mpg plus... what would you buy?

It's a good question, isn't it? Particularly if, like me, you happen to have that budget, and those requirements from a car. £1500 gets you a surprising amount these days, anything from tidy superminis, MPVs and third-hand family cars to classic roadsters, hot hatches and sports saloons. Some will make great runarounds or first cars and others fun weekend toys.

But, if you're like me (young, skint, and like a bit of fun from your car now and then) you might find your choice rather more limited. Sure, you can find plenty of old hot hatches at this price, but unfortunately many have been ragged to within an inch of their lives by now, and insurance is still very expensive even with a few years no-claims behind you. Such is the plight of the young driver.

However, hope is in store. There are still choices out there, if you look hard enough, that will provide you with fun and reliable motoring, but importantly, not emptying your wallet come renewal time or at the pumps. With fuel prices as they are, easily doing more than 30mpg is virtually essential nowadays. Below is a selection of cars that meet the above criteria. What would you buy?

BMW 316i/318i (E30)
The E30 3-series is slowly becoming a collectors' item. Partly due to it being an important model for the marque, and partly to ensure the survival of original cars before they're all snapped up by the tuning brigade. The 316i and 318i aren't the fastest, but they are both cheap to run and the £1500 budget will get a model in very nice condition. A bit of rear-wheel drive fun to start the list.

Honda CRX ESi (3rd gen)
Having seen the success of Mazda's MX5, Honda decided to make their own sports car based on the Civic. It wasn't as light and loony as the model that preceded it, but it has it's own character and roof-out fun. The ESi has roughly 120bhp, does almost 40mpg and is much cheaper to insure than the screaming VTi.

Honda HR-V
A choice from way out at left-field here. You might not have expected to see a small 4x4 here - after all, they're not known for their great fuel economy or fun. Yet Honda were singing from a different hymn book with the HR-V - not only does it do at least 33mpg, but it's also supposed to be good fun to throw about.

Mazda MX-3 V6
Mazda's coupe has managed to avoid the general public's consciousness thus far (thanks to more popular choices like Ford's Puma and Renualt's Megane Coupe), making it a great second-hand choice with low prices. The V6 engine sings yet manages mid-thirties mpg, and the cars seem generally well built and reliable.

Mazda MX-5 mk1
Another small Mazda, but one you've heard of this time. £1500 is remarkably little to buy a classic, but it's achievable with the MX5, and it's going to buy you a whole bundle of affordable fun. Ignore the hairdresser jibes - anyone who's driven one will tell you it's impossible to have perfect coiffure after five minutes with the hood down...

Porsche 924
You what? A Porsche for how much? It was always designed to be affordable and now you can buy one for pocket money. It isn't, as you might have heard, equipped with a van engine - it was an Audi engine that was tuned for use in the 924 and detuned for use in a VW van. Owners report 30mpg, and £1500 should get a nice one.

Saab 900 T16
Turbo lag and torque steer. Right, now the stereotypes are out of the way, we can appreciate the car's unusual styling, great seats, bucketfulls of character and great performance. Not only that, but many insurers consider it a classic now, so you might be able to benefit from cheap classic insurance.

Toyota MR2 mk1
Rumor has it that the MR2 project was initially developed with Lotus, but Mazda took the project on fully when Lotus had financial issues and abandoned their share. So if you squint a bit, you're looking at an 80s Lotus Elise. Maybe. Either way, it's a brilliant drivers car which does mid-30s mpg. You may have to look hard for one untainted by rust, however.

Toyota Paseo
Even less known than the Mazda MX-3, and arguably not as special, but with 40mpg easily achievable it has it's own merit. And of course, being a Toyota, it'll last for ever, and ever, and ever. It enjoys a very low insurance group as well, and should be fun, if not up to Ford Puma levels.

Volkswagen Bora Tdi
Although a small saloon seems a bit incongruous next to small sports cars, coupes and hatches - especially a diesel one - the Bora represents brilliant value for money. It's cheaper than the equivalent Golf both to buy and insure, yet shares the same great engines and build. The diesels get an easy 50mpg and can be tuned very easily for much more power and torque.

Volkswagen Golf GTI mk1
My final suggestion is, undoubtably, a classic. If you want to spend £1500 on one, do it now because they're unlikely to stay at that price as they become more scarce and more popular for restoration. Manages 35mpg and faster to 60mph than the standard mk4 Golf GTI. Cheap to insure on classic insurance, too.

An eclectic mix then, and perhaps a bit more interesting than your average hot hatch, yet likely to provide many miles of reliable, economical and fun motoring. If you're lucky, you may even find a little practicality to add to the mix. £1500 really does get you a lot of car.
