Ford GT

The 5.4 litre V8 engine of the Ford GT was designed by the professionals tuning in Munich completely revised: The standard 2.3 litre compressor was replaced by 3.3 litre and the boost pressure of 0.8 bar raised to 1.25.



The control electronics has been adjusted accordingly. More air to the eight cylinders bring larger throttle valves and a sports air filter. To ride the enormous power demand, the cooling of the engine and gearbox has improved. This sports car shows when stepping onto accelerator immediately what it is: a racing car!

The sprint from zero to a hundred creates the Ford GT with the tuning Geiger Cars in only 3.5 seconds. The quarter-mile, he in 10.9 seconds back. The thrust is the first to the sixth clearly felt only at 340 kilometres per hour is closing. Only through the exposure limit of the tire is the unbridled power reined. The maximum speed is electronically limited. The driving experience is still acoustically by sports exhaust system increased. She brings the rich sound engine to the full. The two mighty tailpipes have a diameter of 110 millimeters. After the rear bumper was removed, they are an impressive sight fishing.


The immense acceleration forces want sovereign controlled. For optimum control in every situation provides Geiger Cars with a specially developed thread chassis. For optimum distribution of the tyre of the front and rear axle can be hydraulic shock absorbers in the printing and rebound. The suspension lowers the Ford GT by up to 60 millimetres and takes its power directly on the street. The ground proximity underlines the unique flat silhouette and the athletic proportions of the Ford GT.



The sport brake system with monoblock calipers by Geiger Cars is designed for maximum delay. Even with more than 300 kilometers per hour can be the vehicle quickly and safely slow. For rapid acceleration and optimal curve behavior combined Geiger Cars impressive 245/35R 20 Broad 9Jx20 tires and alloy wheels on the front axle with 325/30R 21 tires and 11x21 wheels on the rear axle. This keeps the car safe grip even in rapidly driven curves.

Ford GT Interior


The impressive appearance of the Ford GT is powered by a set wheel in matt black with stainless steel rounded deposits.

KIA Magentis

The new KIA Magentis is on sale from 18,656 euros for the basic version of gasoline. It's a completely different from the previous car on the outside and inside.



The KIA Magentis has elements and mechanical equipment common with the Hyundai Sonata. The most economical diesel version is priced at 21,078 euros. Among the models of similar characteristics, only the Hyundai Sonata 2.0 CRDi TGV I Comfort is cheaper, but has significantly less equipment.


The KIA Magentis four-door saloon and front traction is advisable for anyone who seeks a combination of many elements: a saloon with good relationship between price and equipment, large interior space, a diesel engine pleasant to use and will not mind too that his conduct roadside.


There is great breadth and space available for passengers post: is one of the cars with greater width and space for the legs of the category. In addition, the seats are comfortable.



The KIA Magentis suspension is soft, which can cause movements of the body unpleasant under certain circumstances. Nor has an address with good touch.




With regard to previous KIA Magentis, the new increases in all its exterior dimensions except the width now measures 4,735 mm in length (5 mm), 1,805 mm wide (15 mm less) and 1,480 mm in height (70 mm).



The wheelbase increases 20 mm to 2,720 mm. Therefore, is slightly longer than a MAZDA6, almost like a Ford Mondeo and slightly shorter than a Volkswagen Passat.

KIA Magentis Interior



The KIA Magentis boot capacity, according to SAE, is 420 liters (9% more than in the previous model). The measurement standard in Europe VDA has not been specified, but taking into account the increase of 9%, is about 500 litres.

KIA Magentis Engine



There are two trim levels and equipment for the new KIA Magentis: 'EX II "and" E II. The version with the 2.0 l gasoline engine has finished 'E I'. The KIA Magentis 2.7 V6 is available only with 'EX II. The Diesel may choose both levels of equipment.


According to the provisional list of equipment, all KIA Magentis are: stability control (ESP), six airbags, active head restraints, climate control, power driver's seat, trip computer, controlling the cruising speed (diesel and V6), automatic lights , Alarm, alloy wheels of 16 ", electric and heated mirrors and sensors helps the rear parking lot.


Versions' EX II "have also browser, Bluetooth connectivity for the mobile phone, rain sensor, leather upholstery with heated front seats and electric, automatic dimming inside mirror and alloy wheels of 17". This version has equipment that is optional in almost all models of similar characteristics, such as the browser or leather upholstery.


You can not keep some elements of hardware that do have other similar models, like xenon headlights, lighting active cornering or lane-changing assistant.


The new KIA Magentis is available with three engines. The gasoline is a four-cylinder 2.0 litre 145 hp and a six-cylinder 2.7 litre with 188 hp. The first is new, while the six-cylinder engine is a variant of which bears the Sportage. The diesel engine is a four-cylinder 2.0 litre engine capacity and 140 hp power, with particulate filter.


Versions with 2.0 l engine change have manual series (five speeds the petrol and diesel on six), and optionally, the Diesel can be associated with a shift four-speed automatic. The KIA Magentis 2.7 V6 can be bought only with an automatic gearbox five marches.

It has some benefits and a normal consumption, according to its power and weight, and similar to those of other similar models. The maximum speed of the diesel version (201 kph), and to a lesser extent the acceleration (10.4 s), are somewhat worse for offering some of its competitors, such as the Peugeot 407 and Volkswagen Passat.


With the renewal of the KIA Magentis, Carnival and Sorento, KIA has updated models in almost all market segments. Over the course of 2006, the range of models that KIA will also change the Carens and Opirus.


The new KIA Magentis notable for having a large interior space for occupants, especially for passengers on the rear seats. As can be seen the width available for driver and co-pilot is also very good: 143 cm, just like there are three cars that exceed the KIA Magentis.


Given its scope later, a car that can accommodate enough comfort to three passengers in the back seat, provided they are not very high body mass. Along with the Citroen C5 and the Volvo S60, is the model with greater width rear (142 cm). The space for the legs (76 cm) is also excellent, only the Ford Mondeo and Opel Signum manage to overcome it. The rear height (91 cm) is not as good, causing that occupant of more than 1.80 m tall rock on the roof.


To find a model that much more livable KIA Magentis car must go much larger. The seats are comfortable, have enough lateral grip, and leather upholstery transpires correctly. The rear seat can be folded into sections; to do so we must pull the controls that exist in the trunk.


The KIA Magentis internal adjustment is good. Some materials such as plastic used in the bottom of the dashboard and doors, do not give quality printing. The plastic top of the dashboard and doors have an average quality and good touch.


The KIA Magentis engine is performing well, is very smooth and very pleasant to use. It has good response above 2,000 rpm, and allows joining roads and perform overtaking with sufficient.


The noise of the engine, when you turn to low and medium regime, is very content. With the engine cold and when it takes the engine to a high regime, noise hinders the talks at a normal volume. The six-speed manual has a good operation; it can change very quickly and with sufficient precision.


The sixth running of 48.3 mph with tyres 215/50 VR17, is struggling to move swiftly in the KIA Magentis steep slopes, being necessary to put a march less. It is long: a maximum speed in the sixth, turn 4,160 rpm, above the maximum power regime.

In sequential mode, is the driver who decides when to change gear unless we arrive at 4,300 rpm, when it automatically becomes the march immediately above. As in the automatic mode, is slow to engage the gears.


The KIA Magentis suspension is independent in both axes. It is something soft, which causes, driving on roads that do not have a firm too well, it has some pitching and movements of the body unpleasant. The suspension requires that driving the KIA Magentis is smooth so as not to miss the comfort on board.

Audi R8

The Audi R8 is a two-seater coupe with rear central engine of 420 hp, aluminum chassis and traction total. The Audi R8 has a similar size and a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Porsche 911 Turbo.



Audi has done the Audi R8 coupe with a dynamic qualities very convincing. For the response of its engine and the chassis tuning, is as satisfying as the best sporting a similar price.



The stability of the Audi R8 is a surprising level and also conveys a sense of security could hardly have made cars to be as fast cornering. Dynamically, the Audi R8 is the motor sports centre or rear more like a sports saloon.



A Porsche 911 is clearly more demanding with the driver and only higher than the Audi R8 for its extraordinary capacity for braking.



A BMW M6 coupe is a luxury faster in a straight, but is far from being a sport as the Audi R8.




The worst of the Audi R8 is its manual shifter (six speeds, with a clutch bi-disk), because sometimes marches come with difficulty. If the change had no grid, maybe things would improve greatly.




An alternative may be the version of the Audi R8 with automatic change 'R-Tronic' and has more controls sequential and a lever on the steering wheel. This change is an automatic motorized variant of the manual is not a change of clutch double as the "S-Tronic 'other Audi models (" DSG "in Volkswagen).

Audi R8 Interior



The brakes of Audi R8 meet, but neither has a particularly good touch, nor stops the car at short distances to be expected from a car as well. Later the Audi R8 may take some option of disc brakes composite material.

Audi R8 Engine



The engine is very good from the standpoint of benefits and the response to the accelerator. It is an engine rotation speed (upload speed with strength to over 8,000 rpm), but almost any regime surprised because it has a very direct and forceful response to accelerator, which makes it very pleasant to use.


The drawback is that this car is that you have a very high consumption, even at a moderate pace highway.


The Audi R8 has many drawbacks for everyday use in town because the body makes little visibility in some corners and you need plenty of room to rotate. It has two seats and a small trunk and little usable.

Within the spectacular of his body, has plenty of site for two occupants, including high-class, and access to or exit from the interior are only limited because the seats are very close to the ground (the doors are large enough).

Opel Astra GTC

The new Opel Astra GTC (Gran Turismo Compact) perhaps the most exciting car of all time on the market. The youngest member of the new generation Astra and most emotional so far shows the expression of the new Opel designs.



Among the distinctive design features of up to 200 hp and 234 km / h fast Opel Astra GTC addition to his athletic proportions the flat, stretched silhouette with dynamically curved roof line and the strong angle from front and rear. The body was lowered by 15 millimeters, only hood and front fender were 5-door Opel Astra GTC.


The dynamism, the Opel Astra GTC with its appearance indicates, it also on the road. Makes it possible to specially tuned IDS chassis (Interactive Dynamic Driving System) with ESPPlus, traction control and ABS braking system with brake. On request, the adaptive suspension system with electronic shocks IDSPlus Control (CDC - Continuous Damping Control) and networking of all electronic chassis systems.



In addition, the Opel Astra GTC-IDSPlus driver with the opportunity to press a button from the cockpit of a sports setup to choose, in addition to the shock vote the response of the accelerator and the characteristics of the electro hydraulic steering controls. In conjunction with automatic gearbox or Easytronic comes the switch.



Back to the sales launch is a wide range of powerful ECOTEC engines to choose from: five gasoline engines (1.4 - 2.0 liter engine capacity, 90 - 200 hp) and three-CDTI common-rail turbo-diesel (1.7 - 1.9 liters Displacement, 100 - 150 hp). The 147 kW (200 hp) strong, supercharged 2.0-liter best drive gear and 1.9 CDTI diesel power with 110 kW (150 hp), both with a six-speed gearbox coupled and offer the highest level of driving pleasure.


To accelerate the 200-hp turbo Opel Astra GTC in just 7.8 seconds from the state to speed 100 km / h and reached a maximum speed of 234 km / h. The 1.9 CDTI with 150 hp is one of the most powerful diesel engines in the compact class. The engine allows a maximum speed of 210 km / h and a sprint time of 8.9 seconds from zero to 100 km / h.

Opel Astra GTC Interior




All ECOTEC engines meet the Euro 4 emission standards two CDTI greater self-igniter are equipped with a maintenance-free diesel particulate filter. Through innovative TWINPORT technology for the 1.4 and 1.6 four-valve gasoline is in everyday operation of fuel consumption reduction of up to ten percent.


All engines from 1.4 to 1.8 liters engine capacity are equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox coupled, the two 1.9 CDTI turbo diesel and the two 2.0-litre turbo petrol available from the factory on a six-speed circuit (option for 1.7 CDTI ). On request, the automated five-speed gearbox Easytronic (1.6-liter gasoline) or a four-stage automatic (1.8-litre petrol).


The Opel Astra GTC is in addition to the initial version of the model lines Flexxline and sports. For standard equipment includes the comprehensive SAFETEC safety system with IDS chassis including ABS and brake and front, breast-pool-side and head airbags.


SAFETEC also includes pedals (PRS - pedal release system), active head restraints in the front and three rear head restraints adjustable height. Also on board is always a rich comfort Features: Easy-Entry-level assistance and memory function for the front seats, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, electric windows, and speed control, central locking with remote control, pollen filter and 16-inch wheels. The versions Flexxline and sports also have air conditioning and CD player.


Thanks to a deep-sporty seating position, the headroom is only slightly less than in 5-door car. In addition, the Opel Astra GTC on the same wheelbase (2.61 meters) and the same trunk volume (380 litres) as the five Opel Astra version.

Invicta S1

Invicta is a new brand in the UK, which now starts to sell a sport model called Invicta S1.



The idea is that the Invicta S1 is a luxury coupe in the style of the Jaguar XK, but with very good dynamic qualities and characteristics close to those of cars of racing.



The Invicta S1 is a two-seater coupe motor central striker, with steel chassis and carbon fiber bodywork. It is a very light car and the first to have a body of carbon fiber made from one piece.


The Invicta S1 engine and transmission are those of the Ford Mustang Cobra SVT: a V8 engine capacity of 4.6 liters and about 320 hp. It has rear traction, and series, manual gearbox five-speeds. Optionally you can attach a manual six-or an automatic four.




The design of the bodywork is given its own brand, with the collaboration of a designer Leigh Adams. It measures 4.4 meters long, the same as a BMW Z8, but it is much lower: 1225 mm, is very low height for absolutes in terms, and in a coupe of front engine (the Corvette or the Viper is even more low).


In the United Kingdom it cost 69,950 pounds, about 111,000 euros. The mark "Invicta" existed before, between 1924 and 1933. The Invicta is now responsible for Michael Bristow, and the company belongs to the group ITS Ltd.


The frame of the Invicta S1 is a lattice of steel tubes. On this structure, sticks carbon fiber bodywork. The body is independent, but it seems that has a certain structural function; Invicta refers to this set with the term 'semi- monocook. "


The total weight (according to standard EC) is 1243 kg, very little for a car of this size. A BMW Z8, which has the chassis and aluminum bodywork, weighs 1660 kilograms. A Ferrari 360 Modena weighs 1390 kilograms.


The bodywork is in one piece with a type of carbon fiber called "ZPREG", whose manufacturing process is simpler and less expensive than the normal carbon fiber. Invicta estimated that savings in weight with this material, in relation to a body of steel, is about 70 percent.


The Invicta S1 frame alone weighs 160 kg. It's made with square section tubes welded together by type of TIG. According to Invicta, the entire frame is below the axis of balancing Invicta S1. The closer to each other in the center of gravity and rocking, less swings Invicta S1.


The Invicta S1 suspension is deformable parallelogram in the two axes, with elements joining articulated steel caps on polyurethane (made by PowerFlex). The springs are helical. Invicta has provided a hint at possible use of this car, and this has a wide margin adjustment to the hardness of the dampers (compression and extension), the stabilizer, the angle of fall and convergence.


The brakes are AP Racing; leads drilled and ventilated discs, 350 x 35 front and 340 x 35 the rear. The fittings are fixed, the six-piston front and the back four. It is a very large team of brakes for a car of this weight; a Ferrari 360 Modena is smaller discs, but weighs more. Curiously, the entire team is Brake AP, unless the parking brake, which is Brembo.


The Invicta S1 has a leadership hydraulically assisted (Lucas), with three turns of the wheel between stops. The wheels are 255/35 19 front and 275/35 ZR19 rear. The design of the tires is British, but is manufactured in Italy. In the equipment there is serial or optionally browser (VDO), installation of telephone or xenon headlights.


The engine is the one who carries the Ford Mustang Cobra SVT. It is manufactured on the premises of SVT and carries an insert with the names of those who have mounted. It is a V8 90 ° with aluminum block and cylinder heads, weighs 240 kg. Their actions are 90.2 x 90.0, which gives 4601 cm ³. It has two camshafts in each cylinder head and four valves per cylinder and its compression ratio is 9.85 to 1.


It does not give much power to its engine capacity: 320 hp at 5900 rpm, the specific power is 69.6 hp / l. The maximum torque is 404 Nm at 4800 rpm, which is also not much for the engine capacity. The benefits that states are provisional Invicta: around 270 km / hr speed limit and 5.3 s in the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h. That is, is slower than a Porsche 911, which has the same power.


The gearbox of the Invicta S1 is standard Borg Warner (Model T 45, the same one that bears the Mustang). It is placed below the engine, so that the gear is right on top of it. It has five gears; optionally there is a manual and an automatic six-four.


The differential is BTR (Australian), which has built a viscous coupling. It's the same kind of differential that carry other British sports such as the Jensen S-V8 or several models of TVR.

Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe

The Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe is a variant with folding hard roof MX-5 and is available at Sportive "finished". It is a car to enjoy driving because it is very stable, not to walk comfortably because it is loud and has little room for two passengers.



The Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe is more expensive than the equivalent version roof of canvas (2.0 litre engine with six gears), but can compensate pay for it because it has some advantages of convenience and functionality compared to the version of canvas roof.



The roof of the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe is powered by only release a latch and pressing a button for a few seconds. Among the versions of the MX-5 roofed hard folding canvas roof and there are certain differences in the structure, but for practical purposes, and the dynamic qualities of the interior are very similar.



Compared with the models mentioned, the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe is a radically different car Utility and size. For a sum of money like there is a cabriolet two places that do not derive from a car closed. There is no other two-seater cabriolet of similar size and power is cheaper: a BMW Z4 Roadster 2.0i has a higher price and less equipment (comparative tab). A Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 K is much more expensive (comparative tab).



It measures less than 4.0 m has only two seats with not much space (people over 1.85 may not be comfortable). There is a car designed for traveling because it is usually noisy. It is a car that completely satisfies those who, above all other qualities enjoy driving on roads slow. She has some quick reactions and sport like few cars, a special touch and, despite its size, does not transmit road in the sense of being a small car, but a very solid car at the same time as lightweight.


With the limitations of a car so small and low (there are people who will find it difficult to enter and leave), his body and interior are well resolved: the relatively good visibility in all directions need little space to rotate, the controls are usually in a comfortable position of power and there are enough slots to place objects.

Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe Interior



Most of the plastic in the interior have no padding. Although generally a soft plastic tends to be better than a hard, the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe seem to be very good (also good adjustment and auction) and give the impression that will endure the test of time well. Of the remaining 40 per cent (240 units with canvas roof) expected that most will be 1.8 litre engines with the finish grade.

It is a car made for those drivers who find pleasure in driving accuracy steer the car in slow roads, and give more value to the stability that the acceleration in line. Have the reactions that distinguish a good sport: there is a very short interval between the actions of the driver and its impact on the trajectory of the car. Enter very well in the curves, support changing rapidly, slows down a lot and felt exactly how it is supported in the car each time.


As a car is alive and reactions bit buffered, move quickly with it requires an adaptation period greater than that of a car "normal" or even moderately strong. However, broad roads have an accurate linear stability because it is only too likely to continue over the irregularities of the road. It is safe because slows much and has stability control as standard. You can disconnect, but take it connected at all times is the most secure.


The work he has done with the suspension of the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe gives a satisfactory result. The suspension is stiff, but it is far from being insufferable: Mazda has assembled some very good shock absorbers that are able to hold the body properly, to give a reasonable comfort and keeping the wheels in contact with the ground when the floor is broken. This shows that a car does not have to be more stable regard harder suspension, for example, a buffer dry and excessively harsh, makes the body rebound and loses the path abruptly when the car passes through certain irregularities curve.


The relative flexibility of the suspension which has the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe (at least in the initial part of the trail) makes the body has a significant roll (picture), taking into account the low that is the body. The motor seems to me good. What it leads to appreciate is that if the ceiling is on the body and there are potholes, there are certain vibrations of the structure that reach more subdued than with the roof stay in its compartment.


The level of stiffness and solidity of the car I think bigger than usual in a cabriolet their price. The Mazda has a good starting point for having good torsional stiffness and not vibrate in potholes: is designed from the outset to be a cabriolet, have a small size and only two seats.

The 160 hp engine gives an acceleration of normal capacity for its power and the weight of this car (which is rather slight). Like other atmospheric engine, we should bring it up high for a system that gives acceleration close to the maximum. For normal driving, not at the top, it is nice because it has a rapid response to the accelerator.

Overall, the interior is slightly isolated from the engine. On the one hand, little is leading to a regime high, the sound of the engine comes with sharpening the occupants; on the other hand, also come certain vibrations (which gives some sense of roughness).
The consumption can be considered rather high, considering that this is a car and not much lighter load. In a tour of mountain road at a very fast pace, but not at the top, spent 15.7 l/100 km.

2011 BMW M5 with Twin-Turbocharged V8

Having already introduced the next generation 5-Series sedan, BMW and in particular, its M division, is now concentrating on the development of the flagship version of the series, the M5 that was caught here testing at the Nordschleife. The hotly anticipated M5 will debut about a year after the standard 5-Series that is due to make its first public appearance at the 2010 Geneva Show next March.

Until recently, it wasn't clear if the new M5 would continue to use the current model's exotic V10 powerplant or if the Bavarian's would go for the new 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 that debuted in the X5M and X6M. However, BMW officials have now confirmed that the new M5 will indeed be equipped with the turbocharged V8.

In the X5M and X6M, the bi-turbocharged unit produces an output of 555 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 680Nm or 501-lbs/ft of peak torque, available between 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. In comparison, the current M5's naturally aspirated V10 makes 507HP and 520Nm or 383-lbs/ft of peak torque.

Details on the new M5's engine specs remain scarce, though it has been suggested that the direct-injection V8 may be further honed, boosting output closer to the 600HP mark.

The new V8 will not only be more powerful than the V10, but also more compact in size, lighter in weight and more fuel efficient with lower CO2 emissions.

Along with the new powerplant, the 2011 M5 will get a re-engineered version of the BWM M3's seven-speed twin-clutch transmission (DCT), and hopefully for purists, a classic manual gearbox.

As with every other product bearing the M badge, the 5-Series-based model will benefit from suspension, brake and steering system upgrades to further improve handling and driver's feedback.

Even though the prototype model seen in these spy pictures features the standard roof, it is rumored that BMW is working on a carbon fiber top similar to that of the current M3 and M6. Other cosmetic differences will include engorged wheel arches housing larger rims and of course, a full body kit.

If BMW keeps its usual time schedule, we should see the new M5 breaking cover at a major auto show in 2011, with sales starting in Europe towards the end of the same year, and the rest of the world including the U.S., in 2012.

Dacia Logan

Since late July 2008, Dacia Logan has started to be on sale with changes in the exterior appearance and interior.


The Dacia Logan is a four-door tourism, which measures 4.29 m in length. So their size is larger than the Sandero, which measures 4.02 m and has five doors. If the new Dacia Logan keeps prices similar to those of the model that still sells.


The exterior has some changes in appearance in mirrors, the grille, the paragolpes, fog, pilots and the lid of the trunk. In addition, there are new colors for the body that are added to existing ones. Among the new colors are: the "gray basalt", the "Electric Blue" and the "blue end".


The appearance of the interior is virtually identical to the Sandero. It has changes in the dashboard, which now has a new design and is manufactured with a coating of a material that improves security in the event of an accident. It also has changes in the instrumentation (to make it easier to read) and in the center console.


The design of the interior panels of the doors is also new and has more ergonomic handles. An important development is that the new model does the steering wheel can be adjusted in height.



In order to improve visibility behind the Dacia Logan has some larger exterior mirrors (the same as riding the Dacia Logan Break).




No changes in the range of engines. The gasoline is a 75-hp 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter of 87 hp. Dacia says that the average consumption of the new Dacia Logan with these engines are 7.0 and 7.2 l/100 km. If this really is the case, the 75-hp version will consume over 0.1 liters and 87 hp, 0.1 liter less. Compared to other similar models, consumption is moderate but not low.

Diesel engines are the same as has the Renault Clio: a 1.5 liter dCi with power of 68 hp and 86 hp. With these engines, consumption of the Dacia Logan itself is low (in the current model, versions with these engines do not pay registration tax).

The Dacia Logan all have two series of airbags for driver and passenger, ABS with electronic brake distribution frame, and as a novelty, a support system for the emergency braking which premiered at the Dacia Sandero. Still can not have stability control.

Dacia offers for all European countries a guarantee of 3 years or 100,000 km. In addition, it also offers maintenance packages.

Audi Q7 4.2 TDI

The Audi Q7 4.2 TDI meets the full force of V8 TDI with 4.2 liters displacement to a vehicle concept of sportsmanship versatile. The new Q7 4.2 TDI has the strongest brand diesel engine under the hood.


The V8, which is already the A8 luxury sedan drives, draws from 4.2 liters displacement 240 kW / 326 hp and 760 Nm - a torque, from 1,800 to 2,500 1/min ready. The Audi Q7 accelerated in 6.4 seconds from zero to 100 km / h and reaches 236 km / h top.



The Audi Q7 4.2 TDI, the six-stage tiptronic automatic transmission as standard on board. The dynamic program DSP manages the switching, which is the style of the driver and the circumstances of the trail oriented.



A special sports program - the stage - supports a particularly dynamic driving style. Since the tiptronic in the Audi Q7 outset to high torque has been designed, needed for the interaction with the V8 diesel engine is not to be specially reinforced.



In the normal operating head of the forces in the ratio of 40: 60 to the front and rear axles, if necessary, the moment according to the variable conditions grip on the front and rear axles distributed and ensures optimum traction at all times.


The chassis of the Audi Q7 4.2 TDI is all very well grown requirements - whether in rough terrain or on the road. The driver can adaptive air suspension in three maps set of very sporting to very comfortable. In addition, the system allows one in five stages variable ground clearance - up to 205 millimeters air under the car (off-road mode) is usually enough for demanding terrain. For easy loading can the rear by 71 mm lower.


The Audi Q7 4.2 TDI sports rolls on 18-inch light alloy wheels with 255/55 tyres dimension. Like a top sports car, the front brake calipers in six-piston technology.


For standard equipment of the new Audi Q7 4.2 TDI includes the leather package design. It includes decorative inlays in three different types of wood or aluminum and leather seat covers in cricket.

The front seats can be fitted electrically heated. An on-board computer, cruise control and a multi-function steering wheel increase the comfort for the driver, the popular operator is also MMI basic series. A practical help is the electrically driven tailgate, whose opening angle can be programmed.

Audi Q7 4.2 TDI Engine


A variety of assistance systems make driving in the performance SUV Audi even safer. Its debut there in the Audi Q7 4.2 TDI a new technology: the Audi lane assist. It informed the driver about the unintended exit the lane at a speed of about 65 km / h. If the system is activated, and the driver has no blinker, comes shortly before crossing the Audi lane assist recognized roadway markings indicate to the driver through the steering wheel vibration (only in conjunction with the 4-spoke multifunction steering wheel).

The optional Audi adaptive cruise control is a radar-based speed control, including active distance control - at the request can you with the brake braking guard combine. The Audi side assist monitors the blind spot with radar technology and inform the driver if a dangerous lane change threatens. The Audi parking system uses an advanced camera for the view to the rear.

Also for the dynamically drawn exterior and the interior of the spacious 5.09 m long Audi Q7 are many interesting features to choose from the 21--2035 summarizes litre luggage. Like all Audi Q7 is also the new 4.2 TDI as a five-, six-and seven-ordered.
