Hyundai i40 Wagon Specifications

The fifth place among the world's best-selling homes in 2010 is a credit to the Korean brand. The range "i" signed Hyundai is gaining the satisfaction you deserve, and today we are dealing with a weapon even more interesting. We talk about the i40 wagon version, a large "real" than with a nice look, good finish and very interesting prices is likely to put a spoke in the wheels to many more famous models.

The strongest aspects of this wagon, which will debut in the dealership by next September, are typical of a family worthy of the name. The dimensions are so generous, is 477 cm long, with a pace that allows you to enjoy the beauty of 277 cm. Is therefore obvious that the space to dictate the law with a load capacity of the "base" of 533 liters, expandable rear seat folded down to the threshold of 1,719 liters.

Finally, as regards the engines available we have four units of course powered by petrol or diesel. The variant that we like most is that gas from two liters of displacement for 177 hp (there's a more compact 1.6-liter 136 hp) with excellent performance. The maximum speed in this case is 212 km / h and sprint from 0 to 100 hours of just under 10 seconds.

Ferrari 458 Spider

In fact there is little time to wait, the upcoming Frankfurt International Motor Show is almost upon us (September 15), but if you devouring curiosity stomachs here to pick up a hot surprise Agostini. It is, or rather, it would be the very first pictures of what we will know in less than 30 days as a Ferrari 458 Spider.

A "scoop"? Maybe, at least according to the Forum, which has released three photos that we also report (Cheersandgears.com). Result? This! It does not seem bad at all. The fanatics of the "super" findings can then breathe a sigh of relief!

Under the bodywork of the car from Maranello will find the famous 570 hp V8 engine already used on the indoor version. The only detail that these real (or presumed) pictures do not reveal is the type of roof will be installed on the new Italian sports: it will be metal or canvas? Of course, just wait to find photos that will soon be disseminated around the opening of the "festival" in Germany.

Turbo vs Superchargers, Which one do you like?

In the automotive world a battle has been raging since the early 1900′s on which one was better, the turbo or the supercharger. Like all epic battles- light beer or full flavor, regular or decaf, brunette or blond- some people just have an opinion and nothing will ever change that. The truth is turbos are members of the supercharger family, but they are worlds apart in the way they operate to deliver the extra horsepower we’re all looking for.

Superchargers are distinct from turbos in they are mechanically driven units, whereas turbos get their boosting powers from exhaust gasses. The supercharger can be belt, gear, or chain driven like other automotive accessories including the alternator and the power steering. While this allows for instant power availability, nearly 1/3 of the engines efficiency is eaten up by the unit, leading to the supercharger being labeled parasitic. However, if efficiency is a secondary concern and response and power are paramount, then the supercharger rules.

A turbocharger, on the other hand, runs off of exhaust gasses produced by the car already, leading proponents to say that the turbo is actually more eco-friendly. In a 4-stroke internal combustion engine, the final stroke is exhaust. The hot gas that would normally travel down the tailpipe to mingle in the atmosphere is instead sent into a turbo where it spins a turbine which powers a compressor that will send pressurized air into the combustion chamber to achieve a more efficient burn.

This sounds like it should be the hands down favorite, but it takes a while for the heated exhaust gases to build enough momentum to start the effective spinning of the turbine, giving poor performance at lower RPM’s. This is normally referred to as turbo lag or boost lag. The supercharger does give the driver immediate access to power, but the engine load it creates makes it a more cumbersome unit, even though at higher revolutions it will usually out perform a turbo-

The best set up according to Gale Banks in an interview he did with Jay Leno is to use two smaller turbos each injecting air into its own cylinder bank. While you still have the same draw backs as a single turbo, the lag is less significant and the power delivered is greater. But, superchargers won’t be left to the wayside in the attempt to deliver maximum horses with minimal draw. The future of supercharging is in electrically driven units. Controlled Power Technologies has a developed an electrical supercharger that provides 40% more torque at lower speeds as well as making available 90% of the units torque in less than 1 second, while also lowering emissions.

Like all great debates through time, the battle between supercharging and turbocharging may never be settled. As innovation drives science forward to create better, more efficient ways to achieve maximum power, the pros and cons will continually shift. All that will remain constant is our love affair with the spooling of the turbo, the whine of the supercharger, and a need for speed.

Ferrari F40, Miniature Ferrari with real Machine

A mini replica of a Ferrari F40,It is eight times smaller than the real car, but it looks exactly like it. In the photographs you can see how it was made step by step.

It’s incredibly detailed, and whoever made it deserves kudos. The best part about the car is that it has a miniature key with the Ferrari sign on it. It has to be the smallest key ever made. Simply brilliant! I guess a lot of Ferrari owners want one of these, because you can never get enough. Or maybe you can’t afford a real one, so it’s better than having nothing, right?

VW Mini Concept Car by Thomas Gnsicke

The project, the brainchild of engineer Thomas Gnsicke, is an engineering exercise and therefore has rather whimsical features. Most noticeable are the car’s canoe-like proportions: It’s 4 feet wide and 11 feet long. Occupants sit tandem, the passenger straddling the driver’s seat, both wedged under a 4-foot-long gullwing canopy.

Three video cameras eliminate the mileage-reducing wind drag of rear view mirrors. Wheels are faired in, side-cooling air inlets open only when necessary, and even the keylocks have been replaced by a proximity unlocking system. The resulting coefficient of drag is 0.159, compared with 0.30 or so for most production cars. (Source)
