Honda Cars Sport Hydrogen Future

American Honda Motor Co.., Inc.., Introducing the concept of sports-car future newest arena in the Los Angeles Auto Show 2008, California, United States, which is open to journalists on 19 November local time or 20 November Indonesian time.

Concept car is given a name Honda FC Sport and it is no longer rely on engine oil. Instead, the cars will use hydrogen. With this instructor, Honda FC will be a zero emissions sports car.

FC Sport is a concept sports car future results of the work Jason Wilbur, a young designer from Honda R & D Americas, Inc.., In Pasadena, Los Angeles. Planning is also introducing the car to journalists who cover the opening of the exhibition in the middle of the financial crisis that the United States and the world at this time.

Motor Power

Unique features of the sports car is the future of this category as supersport three seats.

According to Honda, fuel technology is adopted from a car fuel cell Honda V-Flow, which has been used in the Honda sedan FX Clarity. Special to FC Sport, is designed more flexible so that the modifications it made it easy.

As a supercar, FC designed with a light weight, and the flat's. Source of visitors, electric motor. With this in the back of a car muffler no longer give the impression that Macho. Also ascertained, car racing is no longer the roaring loud, such as sports cars, which now rely on motor fuel.

Explained, this sports car is inspired by hydrogen supercar that there is now. To that end, his body is made as lightweight as possible. Thus, the ability of learner-car acceleration is very good and also able to go fast, to reach higher speeds.

Honda FC on this, obtained from the hydrogen fuel cell stacks. Furthermore, hydrogen is used to generate electricity and stored in batteries. When the car go faster, electric motor will get the supply of electric energy directly from the batteries.

"Honda FC Sport will become a mainstay lover race, especially after gasoline out," said the Bonawitz, vice president of American Honda Motor Co.., Inc.. "People are happy with the sports car, among them that there is the sports car equipped with a hydrogen future," he added.

Weight distribution

So that the performance of the car is really ok for the demon, in addition to the forceful use of hydrogen, Honda designers also take advantage of the smooth body design and aerodynamics. The other approach is to create and place a component of energy sources modular car.

For this, the main components of the car is placed carefully so that the distribution of weight evenly divided as the second front and rear wheels. With this addition, the balance of the car more steady, easily manageable and nimble through the corners.

And the placement of the fuel cell stacks Honda V-Flow in the car was designed carefully to the various positive aspects. Among others put fuel cells in the back seat, batteries in the hollow center of the car, and the electric motor in front of the Accu cells back.

"Barge Board" F1

Position the second passenger car plus the driver's unique. Motorists are placed in the middle, exactly as the Formula car drivers -1. While both passengers are almost parallel with the driver. FC is equipped with a cover or roof form a transparent canopy open to the top.

Body smooth, flat and the body's learner-slope sharply, making appearances FC Sport is very different concept sports car with the other. The back of the car as the train. This technique is done so that the radiator used to cool fuel cells, can be installed with the keel.

There is also "Barge board," or side body panels such as that used in Formula 1. In the FC, Barge board in the front wheel. With Barge board, Aero-dynamics of the car increases while high on its high speed.

Hydrogen storage tank clearly visible in the back deck when viewed from above. The aim is to FC Sport similar to the "Naked Bike" motorcycle, and it is used as a "show room" technology.

White glacier, which is used in the car also have meaning. According to Honda, is a symbol of white glacier FC Sport as a supercar that is clean. While the wheels of his black and the "tinted glass" or glass without a frame is a combination of the unique capabilities of this car, the source of energy that does not cause pollution, and it is able to meet the needs of the fans' need for speed. "

Self-interest, the construction technique is called the Honda car as a green technology. Parties, to press the impact of carbon ideal for full cloning, the car body is made from organic materials and bio-structure. In this case, the use of plastic made from plants. Be, FC Supersport as a fast car that is really a clean environment! Without emissions and noise without meaning.

Alumi Craft Dual Sport Car Front Driver Side View

Dual-sport vehicles have been around a long time, since the '60s at least. At that time, dual-sport was something like a Meyers Manx, a VW-powered, street-legal off-roader that guys like Steve McQueen drove in Baja. Lately, the boundaries of the "dual-sport" moniker are expanding rapidly. There is still a big following for the Manx and cars like it, but for those who can afford it, the trend is toward bigger, heavier dual-purpose machines. These are incredibly athletic custom cars that can comfortably tour Baja, prerun a race, or chase a team, and with the right tires, blast up the tallest dunes anywhere. Like the Manx, these cars trace their heritage and performance characteristics back to off-road racing, where the state of the art has been advancing rapidly.

We checked in with John Cooley at Alumi Craft to get an update on what kinds of capabilities today's dual-sport cars offer. At Alumi Craft, it's easy to see how off-road racing spawned a chassis industry that transferred technology to sand machines and recreational applications. Cooley builds cars anywhere from husky sand machines to prerunners and custom setups not much different from a SCORE Class 1 racer. "If it wasn't for off-road racing, there is no way this industry could be as advanced as it is today," Cooley explained. "The first sand cars we built, eight or nine years ago, were using Volkswagen engines, bus transmissions, 1,200 to 1,500 pounds - that was what we built because that was what was out in the sand. They were mid-engine, lightweight sand cars. Then we started using V-6s, because the off-road race cars were using V-6s. And then in early 2000 and 2001, the Northstar V-8s and the LS-1 V-8s came out. And from there, I think off-road racing and the dual-sport industry kind of evolved together. The cars kind of evolved into bigger, more sophisticated cars than what they were back then. Nowadays, it's nothing to build a sand car with 1,000 hp, and if it weighs 3,000 pounds, it's not uncommon."

Today's dual-purpose machines are different because of the engines. More power dictates a better-braced chassis with a longer wheelbase, more suspension travel, and much more strength. The choice of powerplants available today is truly awesome. Cooley's customers may request "Anything from a supercharged LS-1 to a big-block, like a Donovan big-block motor, something like that. You can't take a motor like that and put it a small sand car like you can with a Volkswagen motor. It doesn't work that way. You have to build a car around your drivetrain. "That's essentially why we have four different chassis. If somebody came in here and wanted to put a Volkswagen motor in a big car, we'd say, 'This isn't the car for you. We have this other car.'

The dual-sport chassis and the prerunner chassis differ in a variety of ways. "You can see where it's bigger," Cooley explains. "It's wider, longer, the tubing is bigger, it's going to be around 3,000 pounds. It's just a bigger car. It has more wheel travel. Bigger rack-and-pinion, bigger spindles, bigger A-arms, bigger shocks or dual shocks, 30-gallon fuel cell, bigger radiator - everything is bigger." A good example of what Cooley is talking about can be seen in this year's ORBA (Off Road Business Association) sweepstakes car. Cooley and his team of 10 employees designed and assembled the car, which is a dual-purpose machine built on a heavier Cooley prerunner chassis. Designed around a 134-inch wheelbase, the 4130 chromoly tube chassis will weigh about 2,800 pounds. There is 21 inches of wheel travel, front and rear, to help handle power generated by a Redline performance Chevrolet LS-1 V-8, good for 430 hp with the reliability of a stock motor. The Mendeola Racing transmission is an S-4 four-speed. Fox Racing bypass coilover shocks, with Eibach springs, guarantee control and enable precise rebound and compression tuning. Pro Comp X Terrain 35x12.50s are mounted on light Walker Evans Racing 7x17-inch bead-lock wheels. Steering is handled via a Howe 2.5 power rack with Sweet control valve, designed to minimize steering effort and control bumpsteer, even with taller tires. To keep it all cool is a Ron Davis radiator with dual fans and heat exchanger for oil cooling

Citroen C-Cactus Leaked Images

Citroen C-Cactus Leaked Images

C-Cactus Concept first debuted at the Frankfurt motor show in 2007. The objective was to create a green car (lighter and with low emissions) that also has a low cost of production through a a simpler assembly process using less parts and recycled materials.

Speculation is that Citroen would turn the C-Cactus concept into a sub-brand called "Essentiele". With Essentiele being an entry-level Citroen range with the DS label serving as the automaker's premium range.

The C-Cactus would likely be powered by a new diesel-hybrid drivetrain that PSA Group is developing, possibly with a 3-cylinder diesel of unspecified horsepower coupled to an electric motor. It would be the first model in the Essentiele range, and may make it to market by as early as 2012.

Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo Review

Estilo means “style” and it surely lives upto the tag that has been added to the new Zen! The car sports the same engine as the Wagon R which is a 1.1 litre 32X4 hypertech engine.

The specs for the engine are as follows:

• 1061cc
• 64.8ps
• 84Nm,
• 4-cylinder
• 16-valve
• MPFI F10D Petrol

Maruti has increased the interior space by extending the dashboard area of the car over the engine thus leaving little space in the engine compartment but certainly no complaints from me as you spend most of the time inside!



Maruti Suzuki Zen Estilo car has high mileage. You can get a maximum mileage of 22 kmpl at 5th gear at constant 50 kmph with 2 persons inside. Totally you can get an average mileage of 14.5 kmpl without AC and 14 kmpl with AC. Even at 4th gear you can go as slow as 20 kmph without knocking. The aerodynamic design is best in this car among Indian cars.

2011 Aston Martin Sports Cars V8 Vantage N420

2011 Aston Martin released the special-edition sportscar back in 2007 to commemorate the success of its Vantage N24 racer at the Nürburgring. It packed 400 horsepower, a series of suspension tweaks and some special cosmetic touches.

The 2011 N420’s sportscar powertrain is the standard Vantage affair, coming with the standard 420 horsepower V-8 engine. Successor to the special edition V8 Vantage N400 of 2007, the 2011 Aston Martin sportscar V8 Vantage N420 is based upon the standard 4.7-litre, 420bhp, 180mph V8 Vantage and is available as a Coupe or Roadster, and with a six-speed manual or optional Sportshift automated manual transmission.

The 2011 Vantage N420 sportscar draws inspiration from the company's experiences at the Nürburgring 24-hour race. In the 2006 running of the annual Nürburgring endurance classic amongst a field of mostly motorsport homologated cars, Aston Martin entered a near-standard, road-registered V8 Vantage.

2011 Aston Martin sportscar used carbon fiber on various parts of the car to help drop the weight by 60 pounds, which while not a lot is still a step in the right direction. The suspension gets the Sports Package that upgrades the Vantage’s springs, shocks and anti-roll bars to give the car better road holding.

The 2011 N420 also features special 10-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss black, black mesh grille inserts, a sport exhaust system, the Sports Pack suspension (which is merely optional on the regular Vantage) and a range of racing-inspired paint combinations. The N420 sportscar will be available as a coupe or a roadster with the choice of a manual or paddle-shift transmission.

The 2011 N420 sportscar will make its U.S. debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August. Orders may be placed starting this month, with deliveries to begin in the fourth quarter of 2010. Pricing starts at $133,350 for the coupe and $146,350 for the Roadster, less than $10K more than their non-N420 counterparts.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9 - Pagani Exotic Sports Car Modification

A decade later, Pagani Zondas remain near the top of the exotic sports car list. They've been tested fast in a straight line, reaching 0–60 mph in the mid-3-second range and proved able to get around the Nürburgring in a video game-quick 7:27.82.
2011 Pagani Zonda C9
Every Zonda features another highly prized quality among exotic cars: rarity, with fewer than 100 in existence.


2011 Pagani Zonda C9
While lacking the classic, flowing beauty of a Pininfarina-designed Ferrari, the Zonda's shape is an attention-getter. It stops you in your tracks. We didn't think the design would age well, but a decade down the line it still rivets attention and holds it — from that low nose with its four small headlamps back to the big center exhaust port corralling four outlets. A photographer's dream.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
The attractive interior is a mix of modern (carbon fiber), retro (toggle switches) and art deco (the design of instruments and controls) accented with aluminum and fine leather.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
That Zonda body style is done as a sports coupe or a roadster in three levels, all with a mid-mounted 7.3-liter AMG/Mercedes-Benz V-12. The S version comes in at 555 bhp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque, the F with 602 bhp and 561 lb.-ft., and the F Club sport dynos at 650 bhp and 575 lb.-ft.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
All use 6-speed manual transmissions, Brembo disc brakes and have the sort of A-arm suspensions you'd expect in a race car. Plus the level of suspension and aerodynamic tuning that allows 210-plus-mph top speeds.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
Being in a Zonda at speed is a pure exotic-car moment. Like a Ferrari Enzo, there are nicely crafted touches from the museum-quality carbon-fiber finish to air conditioning that keep this from being a race car on the streets. Still, you are not cushioned or coddled or kept from enjoying the unfiltered fun of a truly fast machine. One with a price that likely will soak up $500,000 or more.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
Sadly, the Zonda is nearing the end of its run. But don't mourn the supercar too much as the next step Pagani takes is pointed at the U.S.
2011 Pagani Zonda C9
Zonda production will round out at 100 with an added model called the R, a track-oriented version in the image of Ferrari's FXX. Looking like a still-more-aggressive Zonda — if you can imagine such a thing — the R will have a 750-bhp version of the AMG V-12.

2011 Pagani Zonda C9
Here's the best news: Having been frustrated in attempts to certify the Zonda in the U.S., Pagani will design the C9 for sale worldwide. We might see the new car at the 2009 Geneva show. Although there haven't been any concept drawings yet, we can count on the new Pagani being exciting...and fast. And expensive.
The Zonda nears the end of its run, but a new exotic is in the offing from Horacio Pagani.
