Volkswagen Golf Twin Drive


Volkswagen introduced a new hybrid technology that we see in a series.
Volkswagen introduced the concept Golf Twin Drive which wants to join the constructors that bet on hybrid propulsion, as a future technology.
The model presented by VW has the advantage that has an electric motor that can be downloaded from an outlet power. The electric power propeller provides a maximum of 82 HP and allows the car to reach a maximum speed of 120 km / h. Autonomy’s Golf Twin Drive is approximately 50 kilometers, only the electric motor. The value is very good, given that most roads in towns (and back from work – for example) do not exceed 50 kilometers, so it can reach the level at which car to go only with electric engine.
To prevent situations in which the engine remain without electric power, and VW has installed a conventional turbodiesel, 2 liters, which provides 122 HP, which automatically enters into operation when the batteries were downloaded, or when there is a need for a power record.

CC-sized segment was opened for cars “normal” with the model Peugeot 206 CC, and the solution was immediately taken over by more and more builders.
The design of the new California doesn’t shock, but the car looks good and promises excellent performance on the circuit, despite the fact that it is not as rigid as a classic coupe. The aesthetically tubes be noticed by filtering arranged vertically in kind from Lexus IS-F.
The engine, mounted in front is a 4.3 liter V8 of providing 460 CP/7.500 rpm.

Scottish Car of 800 HP!

The super-sport cars market will be enriching with a new model. It comes from Scotland and proposes 800 CP. Although this information is now quite vague, it seems that the Scottish car, produced by Dowdeswell and Hardie and only Falen, will enter in series production. And what production! The Scottish wants to produce only 4 copies, they will probably sell at an exorbitant price to cover the costs of investment and development.
The good part for collectors is that D & H Falen will be … extremely rare.
Scottish car of 800 HP! Vehicle which attracts attention by its very aggressive design (and optical blocks to remember the model Gallardo) has a V10 engine of 5.5 liters located central, company officials announced that he will deliver around 800-HP. Equipment is made almost entirely of carbon fiber, so that the total weight is estimated at 1,000 kg.
