<스크롤의 압박이 있을수 있답니다-주의요망>
파리 모터쇼 관련 사진들이 안올라오기에 용기를 내어서 올려 봅니다. 그리고 상대적으로 파리모텨쇼가 열리는 곳과 가까운 곳에서 살고 있지만 여건이 되지 못해서 (수업기간이라) 가보지를 못하는게 참 아쉽답니다. 솔직히 런던에서 파리가는거 제주도 가는것 보다도 싼 비행기들이 많이 있는데(재수좋음 광복 8만원)도 학교 다니기 바빠서리.... 내년에는 함 가볼수 있지 않을까요..

제가 가서 찍은게 아니라서 사진에 관한 권리는 autoexpress 측에 있음을 밝힙니다.

 이탈리아의 소규모 자동차 업체인 피닌파리나가 페블비치콩코스에서 선보일 하이페리온을 공개했습니다. 그 동안 CG이미지로만 공개되었다 실차모델까지 공개했습니다. 하이페리온은 그리스어로 높은곳에 있는 자라는 뜻으로 국내 한 주상복합 아파트 이름이기도 합니다.

 하이페리온은 롤스로이스 팬텀 드롭헤드쿠페를 베이스로 리모델링 된 모델로 하이페리온만의 개성이 가득 담겨있습니다. 팬텀 드롭헤드쿠페의 실루엣을 간직한 앞모습은 LED헤드라이트를 장착하고 대형 폭포수그릴을 장착해 웅장한 모습을 보여주고 있습니다.
 사이드와 후면부의 디자인은 팬텀과는 전혀 다른 모습으로 변화하였고 탑부분의 사이드를 축소해 날렵한 모습입니다. 후면부는 차체 양쪽 끝으로 몰아낸 테일램프가 인상적이고 자연스럽게 아래로 쳐지는 라인이 하이라이트입니다. 인테리어는 팬텀의 실내를 그대로 두고 있습니다. 

 팬텀쿠페가 화려한 대형요트를 컨셉으로 삼고 있다면 하이페리온은 좀 더 스포티하게 다듬어진 개인요트라고 할 수 있을 것 같습니다.     

Pininfarina presents the Hyperion, a one-off custom-built car derived from the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe which made its world debut at the Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach, America's most important competition for historical classic and one-off cars and a prestigious annual event.

The car is named after Hyperion, one of the Titans of Greek mythology, to underline its architectural and figurative power.

Andrea Pininfarina: "The car as an artistic expression"

"It is not the first time that the Pininfarina Special Projects Division has designed a unique car from a standard production model," said Andrea Pininfarina, Chairman and CEO of Pininfarina SpA. "In the recent past we have reinterpreted Ferrari engineering, as in the case of the Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5 of collector Jim Glickenhaus, or Peter Kalikow's Scaglietti "K". In the case of the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion, Roland Hall, a collector and the owner of a Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe, asked us to create a custom-built car that would evoke the appeal of the sumptuous cars of the 1930s.

It might seem paradoxical, but today more than ever before, there is a desire on the part of a very elite clientele to return to the idea of the car as an artistic expression. As it was in the 1950s. With the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion, our team of designers and engineers was able to express its creative skills and to apply Pininfarina expertise without limits, save that of coming as close as possible to the type of car that our customer had in mind. The result was a custom-built unit that is firmly rooted in the values of the Pininfarina and Rolls-Royce brands, with lines and dimensions that are hard to find in a 21st century model. The Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion takes up the legacy of other Rolls-Royces designed by Pininfarina, the Silver Dawn saloon of 1951, for example, or the Camargue coupe of 1975."

The concept in brief

The history of Pininfarina offers plenty of examples of special cars built on "noble" bases. Which is why the company naturally welcomed Roland Hall's proposal to work on a Rolls-Royce floorpan. For the new Pininfarina one-off, however, the Special Projects Division wanted a new idea, something absolutely unique, which only an individual in love with the car as an abstract, and not merely utilitarian, concept could appreciate. And so the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion project was born, in the Autumn of 2007.

In terms of the styling, the first brainwave came when thinking of some of the cars of the 1930s, with their majestic, regal bonnets, and a body that surrounded the driver and a single passenger. Distinctive features of a car which, thanks to its strength and elegance, does not need to move to draw attention to itself.

Like all the cars designed by Pininfarina, the secret of the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion lies in its absolute harmony between masses and volumes, and the perfect balance of every proportion. Structurally, we moved the driving position further back (400 mm) and took out the rear seats. We designed a new hood, which folds behind the seats under a wood-lined cover. In front of the windscreen we created two compartments for small items or for sports equipment, such as Mr. Hall's hunting rifles.

The bodywork is made of carbon fibre, while the details are applied using a technology adopted in boat building. The doors were made of solid wood by craftsmen who specialise in creating components for luxury boats. This is another aspect of the programme of Pininfarina special cars: offering customers unique stylistic and technical solutions that are not possible on mass produced cars.

Some of the best international firms contributed to the realisation of the project: Re Fraschini for the carbon, Isoclima for the glazed surfaces, Proxi engineering for the drawings of the car, Triom for the lights and headlights, Fondmetal for the wheel rims, and Materialise for components created using fast prototyping.

The styling decisions

Romantic and noble. These two words sum up the styling of the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion. The archetype of the special car, an opulent two-seater roadster that conveys the luxury of the Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe, from which it derives, at the highest figurative and architectural levels. At the same time, it harks back to the past, and the cars of the pre-war period that now populate the world's most prestigious concours d'elegance.

To repeat the proportions of those unforgettable cars (a short tail end and majestic bonnet that "surges" forward), we had to extend the roof and shorten the rear end. To balance the volumes, the Pininfarina designers tried to achieve soft, fluidly flowing surfaces. The front sports the classic Rolls-Royce grille, which has been slightly inclined. A trapezoid plane creates a more aerodynamic dashboard, while the recessed Bixenon headlights and LED technology convey sportiness and elegance. The spectacular bonnet is underlined by the muscular, taut wings, while the line that embraces the front wheels is drawn back until it disappears into the hood cover, giving a sense of movement even when the car is stationary. This feature is counterbalanced by a small tooth under the door that runs towards the rear wheel. The shape of the rear end recalls Pininfarina's legendary sports "berlinettas" of the Fifties and Sixties, with their cut-off tails, strongly inclined downwards, with a flat closure borrowed from boat-building.

The interiors were practically unchanged, maintaining the perfect sense of high luxury in the passenger compartment that distinguished the original car. One precious detail of the instrumentation underlines the unique environment: the watch designed specifically for the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion by Girard-Perregaux, which can be removed from the dash and attached to a bracelet to be worn on the wrist.

Pininfarina and Girard-Perregaux: the emotion of excellence

Combining the excellence of a watch and a car that are out of the ordinary. This was the goal of the collaboration between Pininfarina and luxury Swiss watchmakers Girard-Perregaux. The meeting of two prestigious names that embody artisan tradition and cutting edge technology has created a refined timepiece with a sophisticated mechanism. Girard-Perregaux have personalised one of their sophisticated watches, the Vintage 1945 Tourbillion with gold bridge, for the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion. Thanks to an ingenious anchorage system, this timepiece can be mounted on the car's dashboard, or removed from its mount to slip on to its owner's wrist.

The pure lines of the white gold case, inspired by a model of 1945, contain a gold bridge tourbillon. This mechanism, which is faithful to the original design created by Constant Girard- Perregaux in the 19th century, stands out for its complexity: only an expert watchmaker could assemble the cage that weighs just 0.3 grams, carrying no fewer than 72 elements. The automatic movement was painstakingly built by the company.

The Vintage 1945 Tourbillion with gold bridge blends perfectly with the Pininfarina Rolls-Royce Hyperion, starting from the colours of the face which match those of the bodywork. A sophisticated "spring-ball" system allows it to be extracted from the leather bracelet so that it can be mounted on the dashboard in a support in the shape of a whirlwind, or tourbillon, the hallmark of the Girard-Perregaux brand. This unique piece suggests the link between the worlds of prestige cars and outstanding watchmaking. Cult objects that transcend their function to arouse emotions that are constantly renewed.

Pininfarina and Girard-Perregaux: outstanding watches and cars share numerous common denominators: the notion of time, a fundamental factor of motor racing; increasingly refined techniques; and ever-present passion. In these two worlds, admiration for historical models goes hand in hand with the appeal of the most recent performances; the classic design shares the stage with daring concepts; cutting-edge technologies and noble materials are the key words of every successful innovation. High standards of quality, beauty, power and perfection even in the smallest detail, are essential components.

Girard-Perregaux bases its relationship with Pininfarina on a common conceptual approach, underpinned by a striving for excellence, emotions and beauty. And when passion encounters technical capabilities, the dream takes shape, producing the most refined mechanical structures.

  아우디의 간판모델인 A6가 새롭게 페이스리프트 되어 출시되었습니다. 
 
 익스테리어에서의 눈에 띄는 특징은 LED가 촘촘히 박힌 앞, 뒤 라이트입니다. 헤드램프에는 데이타임러닝라이트 LED가 부착되어 시인성을 높였고, 완전히 새로운 모습으로 변화 된 테일램프는 72개의 LED를 촘촘히 박아넣어 시인성뿐만 아니라 기존의 밋밋했던 후면부의 디자인에 재미를 더했습니다. 이번 A6의 변화는 아우디의 새로운 아이덴티티들을 더해 이미 페이스리프트를 단행한 A4와 A8등 다른 아우디 형제들처럼 아우디만의 개성을 담았습니다. 또한 앞, 뒤범퍼의 디자인을 기존의 S-Line 시리즈처럼 바꾸고 둥글렀던 안개등을 각지게 바꾸어 A8의 느낌과 비슷해졌습니다. 

 특히 후면부의 디자인을 전체적으로 손봐 완전히 달라진 이미지를 만들었고 A4, A8과 같은 맥락의 디자인으로 통일 되었습니다. 개인적으로는 헤드램프의 LED는 S6모델처럼 범퍼에 달았으면 어떨까싶습니다. 눈에 눈물이 맺혀있거나 눈꼽이 낀 듯해서 약간 답답해보이는 느낌입니다. 

 인테리어에서는 내장재 재질을 손보고 새로운 MMI시스템을 장착하였습니다.  모니터를 개선해서 더욱 정확하게 보이고 빛반사를 줄였으며 MMI 컨트롤러를 통해 새로워진 네비게이션시스템을 통제 할 수 있게 하였습니다. 독일을 기준으로 장착되는 네비게이션은 랜드마크가 되는 건물을 3D로 입체적으로 표시해주고 컨트롤하는 방식도 변경하였습니다. 또한 DVB 방송을 볼 수 있습니다.




 A winner always builds on his strengths: That's why Audi has again upgraded its luxury class Audi A6 model. Efficient engines have been added to the drive-train lineup, with innovative technologies cutting fuel consumption by about 15 percent across the whole model range. An improved suspension and new high-tech assistance system give the driver even greater control over the car. And the new-generation MMI control system is out-performing itself. The revamped Audi A6 will be launched in the German market in late summer.

 It's the sportiest and most popular business sedan on the market. The Audi A6 is leading the Premium C pack - both in Europe and around the world. In 2007, Audi sold about 234,000 units, giving the Audi A6 a 37 percent market share among its core competitors. Most of the A6's sold were equipped with six- or eight-cylinder engines, permanent 4x4 quattro and a luxury assortment of optional equipment - all evidence of the high regard Audi technologies is enjoying worldwide.

 Its design is emphasized by a range of bold new accents, perfectly articulating the Audi A6's strong personality. The single-frame grill, bumpers, air vents and fog lights have all gotten a facelift.

 The optionally-available xenon plus, LED daytime running lights have been redesigned as horizontal strips with 6 LEDs each. Other options include Audi adaptive light, a dynamic cornering light system, and the high-beam assistant that automatically switches between the high and low beam.

 An aluminum-colored molding traversing the sides emphasizes the Audi A6's dynamic contour. At 4.93 meters (16.17 ft) long, 1.86 meters (6.10 ft) wide, and 1.46 meters (4.79 ft) high, little has changed in the sedan's generous proportions. The gentle lip on the trunk, integrated chrome strip on the bumper, broad diffuser and straight exhaust pipes are part and partial of the revamped rear end. The bipartite rear lights with LED technology have also gotten a new look: narrow and wide, they taper inward on the sedan. And there are 13 exterior colors to choose from, including five new ones.

 The Audi A6's spacious interior with its clean and elegant contours and perfect craftsmanship is characteristic of this luxury brand. The rear seats are extremely comfortable and the L-shaped headrests improve the driver's rear view visibility. As an option, the back seats can be fitted with a comfortable 2-seater bench. A package of elaborate features makes sure the noise level is cut by almost half, particularly within critical frequency ranges.

 The instrument panel uses new higher-resolution graphics; and a new frame better accentuates the display (color in the optional MMI navigation system). Tastefully-appointed chrome trim, even on the spokes of the steering wheel, call attention to its overall elegance and inlays are available in either aluminum look or fine woods.

 As is expected of an Audi, the interior designers have made sure all the colors and materials match. Standard seats can be optionally upholstered with a new material; the sport seats are available in Valcona leather. Soft armrests on the doors increase comfort, while the integrated headrest system reduces the danger of whiplash.

 Audi is now offering an S-line sports package for the most dynamic of drivers. The package includes enhanced performance features like 18-inch wheels and sports suspension that lowers the ride height by 30 millimeters (1.18 in). Its sporty seats, decorative inlays and upholstery give the black-trimmed interior a feeling of even more exclusivity and the S-line exterior package provides more drama. Features from this Audi exclusive program are tailor-made to fit the Audi A6's luxury-seeking mavericks.

 One of the major strengths of the Audi A6 lies in its broad selection of engines: six gas and four diesels use direct fuel injection and cutting-edge FSI, TFSI and TDI technologies in a choice of four, six or eight cylinders. Whether stick shift, convenient tiptronic or high-efficiency multitronic, the energy literally flows to the front wheels, or all four wheels for that matter. Its engines are both powerful and efficient. New measures have been introduced to optimize engines and minimize fuel consumption without sacrificing one ounce of driving pleasure. Fuel consumption over the whole Audi A6 family has been lowered by about 15 percent.

 The smallest gas engine is the 2.0 TFSI, a 125 kW (170 hp) turbocharged four-cylinder unit. On the other end of the spectrum is the 4.2 FSI, a 257 kW (350 hp) V8 engine. Audi V6 models can be equipped with one of its two new 2.8 liter FSI engines; the 140 kW (190 hp) or the 162 kW (220 hp). Both engines feature the innovative Audi Valvelift System (AVS), which manages the inlet valve timing so that there is more torque and less fuel consumption. Regardless of which 2.8 FSI engine the Audi A6 sedan is fitted, average fuel consumption is only 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers (28.68 US mpg) for the 190 hp, 6-speed manual shift or 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers (28.00 US mpg) for the 220 hp multitronic CVT.

 With its 3-liter displacement and 213 kW (290 hp) power output, the V6 is a particularly exciting newcomer. Audi has designed the perfect package for each one of its engine. That's why the 3.0 TFSI is fitted with a supercharger. From now on "T" doesn't just stand for turbocharged - it stands for supercharged. Supercharger technology does not mean increased consumption - but the short intake paths do mean instantaneous response. And it's got full power build-up even at low engine speeds: from 2500 1/min to 4850 1/min, the torque curve is broad and flat at 420 Nm (309.78 lb-ft).

 The 3.0 TFSI comes with tiptronic and quattro drive train. The Audi A6 sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.9 seconds and keeps on going as it presses to its electronically-regulated maximum speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph). This is the kind of performance that only an eight-cylinder engine would have been able to deliver a few years ago. At 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (24.76 US mpg) on the EU cycle, the supercharged V6 is amazingly economical. The 3.0 TFSI's combination of dynamic performance and low consumption is one more example of Audi's successful efficiency strategy.

The Audi A6 TDI engines give further evidence of just how closely Audi has been able to align sporty performance and efficiency. Fuel is delivered by the extremely sophisticated and quiet system of common rails with rapid-action piezo injectors and an injection pressure of 1800 bar (26,106.79 psi). The two V6 TDI engines (2.7 TDI with 140 kW (190 hp) and 3.0 TDI with 176 kW (240 hp) have peak torques of 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) and 450 Nm (331.90 lb-ft), respectively.

 At the lower end of the diesel program is the four-cylinder 2.0 TDI engine, which is available in two versions: the 125 kW (170 hp), expected in fall 2008, and the 100 kW (136 hp). The basic version is an especially efficient e-model known as the 2.0 TDIe, which uses a six-speed manual shift or automatic multitronic transmission to deliver 320 Nm (236.02 lb-ft) of torque to the front wheels. With multitronic it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 9.9 seconds, and continues on to a top speed of 204 km/h (126.76 mph). Yet its average fuel consumption with a manual shift gearbox is only 5.3 liters per 100 km (44.38 US mpg), equivalent to CO2 emissions of app. 139 grams per kilometer (224 grams per mile).

 
 The key to achieving such exemplary values is the strategic deployment of innovative technologies. The power steering pump operates on demand; the alternator regenerates electrical energy when coasting thereby reducing load off the engine. By lowering the ride height by 20 millimeters (0.79 in) and other aerodynamic fine-tuning, the drag coefficient has been reduced to cD = 0.28.

 The transmission can be used longer in the upper two gears. Any manual-shift Audi A6 with Driver Information System, even the 2.0 TDIe, can opt to have the shift indicator displayed in the instrument panel. The icon lets the driver know which gear is most economical under actual circumstances.

 Audi quattro four-wheel drive is available on all engines with 140 kW (190 hp) or above and is standard equipment on high-end aggregates. The manual shift, 140 kW (190 hp) 2.8 FSI notwithstanding, this is the very latest generation quattro with the newly emphasized rear-end design. It gives the Audi A6 tremendous driving characteristics, remarkable grip and superior safety. Under normal conditions, the torque split is 40 percent to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear. The mechanically-operated Torsen differential immediately diverts most of the power to the axle, providing better traction whenever the need arises - in extreme cases, up to 65 percent to the front or 85 percent to the rear.

 In fine-tuning the Audi A6, two key objectives were identified - increasing its comfort while retaining its sporty character. With new large-diameter, front-axle shock absorbers operating within an optimized valve system, Audi engineers were able to achieve both goals. Every other aspect of the suspension set-up has been improved, including the automotive spring response.

 The Audi A6 can be equipped with factory-fitted adaptive air suspension so that the driver can vary his response and the characteristics of the adaptive shock absorbers into three styles. High-powered engines come equipped with larger 17-inch wheel brakes. Audi can also be fitted with a tire pressure monitoring system, which is entirely wear-free and maintenance-free. The customer can opt for run-flat tires, which limit the car to 50 kilometers (31 miles) should there be a drop in air pressure.

 Audi has integrated several new high-tech assistance systems. The new Audi side assist kicks in to help drivers when changing lanes at speeds over 30 km/h (18.64 mph), ensuring a stress-free and superior drive. Using radar sensors, Audi Side Assist is able to detect other cars up to 50 meters (164.04 ft) away: a signal on the outside mirror lights up should changing lanes pose a threat. Audi lane assist helps keep drivers in their own lane, radar-assisted adaptive cruise control keeps a steady distance to the vehicle ahead, and Audi parking system advanced has a rearview camera.

 Since its debut in 2002, the Audi Multi Media Interface system (MMI) has been setting the standard for perfectly controlling any number of functions. The Audi A6 comes equipped with the latest MMI generation, including the top-of-the-line MMI Navigation plus. Its basic construction has not changed. The central control knob can still be found on the middle console between the front seats and the operation is still carried out using large buttons. The new joystick capping the control knob means the MMI Navigation plus can be operated even more intuitively.

 MMI Navigation plus is an ultimate solution, pioneering in an entirely new system generation with high-tech portfolio and ground-breaking standards. Special features include a CD/DVD/Navigation combination drive with a 40 GB hard drive capacity which can be used to store MP3s and up to 5000 addresses.

 With its 7-inch, high-resolution screen, the monitor on this ultimate navigation system is truly innovative. The image is rich in contrast and incredibly sharp even under difficult lighting conditions. It also has an optional TV tuner that receives digital programs (DVB-T) in perfect quality.

 The new navigation system has another innovation. A new bird's eye picture mode shows landscapes in topographical relief - in full detail, complete with three-dimensional images of landmark buildings. The monitor has a new operating principle: when adjusting specific functions like air conditioning or seat heating, a pop-up window appears at the right rather than taking over the whole screen.

 Most of the new features found in the Audi A6 Sedan and Audi A6 Avant are also present in two other models: the versatile Audi A6 allroad quattro and the dynamic Audi S6. The Audi A6 allroad quattro can be powered either by the new 213 kW (290 hp) 3.0 TFSI engine or one of the two powerful V6 TDI diesels. The V10 on the Audi S6 has 320 kW (435 hp). Changes made to the sports model are limited to interior and exterior optical details.

 The upgraded Audi A6 will be available in German dealer showrooms as of mid-October 2008. Starting at 34,200 Euros for the Audi A6 2.0 TFSI sedan, Audi's initial list prices have remained virtually unchanged, despite all the extensive innovations.

 The Brazilian-made small car is perfect on the regional needs of customers in South America. Volkswagen Gol like all VWs manufactured in Brazil can run on any mix of gasoline and ethanol without power loss thanks to Total Flex technology.

 State President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came at the invitation of Viktor Klima, General Representative of Volkswagen Group for South America, and took the first place at the helm of the new Volkswagen Gol. Corporate Board Member Garcia Sanz said what would be the main characteristics and the importance of economical small car: "It is a fascinating car that is another chapter in the Volkswagen Gol history of success."

 Since 1953 VW is Europe's largest automobile manufacturer in Brazil and with approximately 21,000 employees at five locations produces cars, buses and heavy trucks as well as engines and gearboxes. In the '70s Volkswagen was the first automotive company that developed vehicles for the markets of South America. With 17 models, Volkswagen has the largest diversity among car manufacturers in Brazil and has a network of around 600 dealers.

 Next to China, Brazil is the second largest foreign market for the Volkswagen Group. Last year, the company sold 581,300 vehicles here, 32 percent more than in 2006. VW do Brasil is not only one of the largest private company in Brazil, but also vehicle supplier for the entire South American region.

 라이벌들에게 경고장을 보내며 당당히 소형해치백 시장에 i30라는 모델을 내놓은 현대가 차기작으로 뽑아든 비장의 카드인 i10 (아이텐)은 i30와는 조금 다른 성격입니다. i10은 급성장하는 인도와 중국시장과 저가 자동차 시장에 대응하기 위해 내놓은 모델입니다. 예전 현대의 유일한 경차였던 아토스/샹트로를 대체하는 이 모델은 출시직후부터 인도시장 탑에 오르는등 크게 인기를 모으고 있는 모델입니다.

 이 새로운 시티카는 '펀 투 드라이브' 컨셉으로 만들어졌으며 다루기 쉽고 또한 이 가격대의 그 어떠한 모델에서도 느껴보지 못한 양과 질 모두에서의 만족감을 줄것입니다.

 i10은 3.565mm의 전장과 1,595mm의 전폭을 갖춘 전형적인 시티카 사이즈 입니다. 도시의 좁은 골목길과 막히는 출,퇴근 도로에서 운전하기 쉽고 경차주차장을 이용할 수 있습니다. 다른 경쟁차들과는 달리 i10은 2,380mm의 긴 휠베이스를 통해 차체안정감은 물론 넓은 실내공간을 확보하였습니다. 차체 코너로 한껏 밀어넣은 휠 덕분에 더 넓은 탑승객과 짐을 위한 공간을 확보하였습니다.
 또한 이러한 구성은 큰 차를 운전하는듯한 안정감을 줄 수 있습니다.

 i10의 또다른 특징은 높은 높이입니다. 톨보이 스타일의 i10은 인도인들이 머리위에 터번을 두르고도 천장에 닿지 않게 하도록 차체 높이를 높였습니다.

 다른 경쟁차들도 5명이 탑승할 수 있고, 문도 5개입니다. 하지만 i10은 불과 £6,500에서부터 시작하는 가격으로 인해 가격경쟁력이 다른 라이벌모델들에 비해 뛰어납니다. i10의 오너들은 저렴한 가격에 고품질의 시티카를 만날 수 있습니다. 심지어 가장 최하급의 모델에도 에어컨디셔너가 기본으로 장착됩니다. 이것은 이 급에서는  거의 독보적인 옵션입니다. i10은 또한 전 도어에서 파워 윈도우를 사용 할 수도 있으며, 14인치 휠과 바디컬러의 프론트/리어범퍼, 중앙집중식 도어잠금장치, 파워스티어링, 문루프는 물론 CD와 MP3 재생이 가능한 6개의 스피커까지 고를 수 있습니다.
 


 i10은 또한 탑승객의 안전성도 만족시켜주고 있습니다. 모든 급에서 듀얼 및 앞좌석 사이드 에어백까지 기본으로 장착되며 조수석 에어백은 별도의 버튼으로 작동을 중지시킬 수도 있습니다. 모든 i10은 67ps마력의 1.1리터 페트롤 엔진이 장착되며 수동변속기가 기본입니다. 옵션으로 4단 자동변속기가 장착됩니다. 기어박스를 센터콘솔에 장착하여 공간 활용도를 높였으며 높은 운전자세에 알맞게 장착되었습니다. 이로 인해 운전석과 조수석사이에 워크스루도 가능합니다.


 
 수동변속기 버전은 60mpg의 연료소모를 가능하게하며 단지 119g/km의 CO2 배출을 할 뿐입니다. 다른 모든 현대의 모델처럼 i10은 주행거리와 상관없이 5년간의 보증 프로그램의 혜택을 받을 수 있습니다. 이것은 5년동안은 얼마를 달렸던 간에 품질을 보장해 준다는 것입니다.



 현대는 이 매력적인 고품질의 시티카가 연간 10,000대씩 판매되길 희망하고 있으며 현대의 기존 고객의 재구매율을 높이는것에 중점을 둔다고 합니다. 즉, 아토스와 상트로를 타던 고객이 i10으로 넘어올 수 있도록 하겠다는 것입니다. 현대의 i10을 국내에서는 만날 수 없지만 이미 다른 시장에서는 2008년 3월부터 판매되고 있습니다.

The BMW M1 Homage is modelled on the lines that defined the M1 designed by Giorgio Giugiaro and produced between 1978 and 1981. His body retains some measures similar to those of its predecessor, albeit with greater wheelbase.

This exercise in style, which may not be produced, aired on the "Concorso d'eleganza Villa d'Este 2008, which also could contemplate models as the Bugatti Veyron Fbg Hermès, the Lexus LF-A, the Bentley Continental GTZ Zagato The Mercedes-Benz F700 or Maserati Quattroporte Bellagio fastback.

The body has a very sharp silhouette, and is defined by straight lines and angles very marked. On the sides of the rear wings are two large gills which hypothetically would improve aerodynamics and cooling the engine, which would be located in central position. BMW has not provided any information about the characteristics of the engine.




BMW has used for the exterior a mixture of colors orange and black colours of the first reinterpret the M1. It has a small grill in a very similar to that of recent BMW and a few lighthouses that are practically only visible if they are turned on (picture).

The BMW M1 Homage has some tire design very similar to those assembled that pays homage to the M1 and a moon "enrejada, whose openings are often small and prevent spoilers see the engine from the outside (contrary to what occurs, for example, in an Audi R8, image). In the rear also highlights the two insignia of the mark, located at both ends of the body, like the M1 in 1978.




The BMW M1 1,978

The first BMW M1 was presented during the 64 edition of the Paris Motor Show in autumn 1978, as an evolution of the prototype made six years before by Paul Bracq, BMW Turbo (among other characteristics had a turbocharged engine and two-door type "Gull wings' image).

In the four years that was the M1 in the market between 1978 and 1981, there were just over 450 units, as the price they had to pay for it, 100,000 German marks at the time, was the equivalent of four BMW 323is with a couple of options.

Measures of this coupe two places were: 4.36 meters long, 1.82 wide and only 1.14 high. A Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe has the same length, but is slightly wider (1.9 m) and highest (1.17 m).



The M1 had a six-cylinder engine in line 3.5 litre engine capacity placed in longitudinal position back (behind the seats, but in front of the rear axle and parallel to the march). He had 277 hp and a power-weight ratio of 4.7 kg / hp, was able to lead the M1 to 264 kph, with an acceleration of 0 to 100 in 5.6 seconds. The manual gearbox was five marches and double disc clutch dry. The traction was to the rear wheels and had a limited slip differential.

The butt was two pieces, the bottom formed combustion chambers and cooling, while the top was the bearings of camshafts and taqués. The dry sump lubrication was by and gasoline was stored in two tanks to the left and right in front of the rear axle, each with a capacity of 58 litres.

It had some great tyres for the time (but small for what is now), measures 205/50 VR 16 in the front axle and 225/50 VR 16 in the rear. The suspension was parallelogram deformable in the two axes.

The driver and passenger were protected by a steel framework of rectangular section, a rigid plastic coated riveting. Being a sports car, its equipment was not luxurious, but among the options highlighted the air conditioning. The trunk, located under the bonnet, could host the luggage of two people for a weekend.

The M1 was designed and built from the outset as a motor car for the competition. Specifically, the project "E26", as he knew when it had not yet been named as M1, started in 1976 as the first truly exclusive car built by BMW Motorsport GmbH, a subsidiary founded by competition for the signing of Munich in 1972.

According to current regulations by then, in order to participate in the races of the "Group of Four Gran Turismo (GT), manufacturers must produce at least 400 units in 24 consecutive months of street vehicle. In addition, the model for the competition had to really resemble that of mass production.



At the beginning of their manufacture, Lamborghini could not take over the assembly as originally planned, so that "Baur, a company specialising in coach, took over the assembly of systems and mechanical components of the car. Marchesi built the chassis, bodywork TIR plastic reinforced with fiberglass and Italdesign (the company of Giorgio Giugiaro) mounted these two essential parts and added equipment and interior linings. There began the short life of M1 and his career path.

This BMW has been led by stars of Formula 1 as Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet in the "M1 proc", a competition which belongs to Group 4 GT created in 1979 by BMW Motorsport GmbH with the support of Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley. The aim was to expedite the arrival of M1a circuits, albeit through a championship itself.

This competition, in which M1 had prepared engines capable of reaching the 470 hp, was being held just before the majority of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Europe and was won by Lauda in 1979 and Piquet in 1980. The M1 also came to compete in the category of "Group 5 GT", in 1981, with a naturally aspirated engine that reached a maximum power of almost 500 hp.

That same year he was part of the grill of the championship U.S. 'IMSA GTO', in which pilots Dave Cowart and Kenpo Millar achieved victory en12 of the 16 races. In addition, the BMW sports participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1979, where he finished in sixth place with a decoration done by Andy Warhol.

The new Opel Insignia, a saloon with bodywork 4 and 5-door, will be sold starting in November 2008. It may be for the first time in the Chamber of Automobile London on July 22.

It measures 4.83 meters in length, 22 cm more than the Vectra model that replaces and is also sold with bodywork 4 and 5-door, in addition to a family. This new model of Opel premiered the new Epsilon platform 2 and will be available in versions with front-wheel drive car with traction total.

The range of engines will consist of seven variants, four petrol and three diesel, although not km77.com we are confident will reach all to Spain. Soon we will be able to confirm this aspect.

The smallest of the four petrol engines will be a four-cylinder 115 hp and the largest one of six cylinders in V-260 hp. According to Opel, Diesel engines are new, all of 2.0 liter engine. The minor will have an output of 110 hp and more than 160 hp. For later, Opel announced the arrival of another engine versions called ECOflex with low CO2 emissions, and also some more powerful version.




The Insignia will be offered with adaptive lighting. According to Opel, has nine different settings of the light beam. It will also lead light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for lighting daytime.

The Insignia is developed from the Opel GTC Concept prototype, which measures just 4,830 mm long, 1,867 mm wide and 1,432 mm high. The coefficient of drag prototype is 0.25. Like the prototype and other models of Opel, Insignia operates a system that combines the control of stability with the buffer variable hardness (Opel is called IDS + models that have atualmente).

Opel has not yet provided any information on the equipment of Insignia, it is too early to know whether bear some of the elements of hardware that includes the GTC Concept, like the parking system to facilitate on-line hard drive, parking brake programmer speed automatic or active.

What is known is that the new Insignia take ambient light red, which will also include other models of Opel, according to the manufacturer.

Mercedes-Benz released official pictures and information of the all-new Mercedes GLK-Class sport utility vehicle. The versatile SUV will debut at Auto China in Beijing on Sunday, April 20, and make its U.S. dealer showroom debut in January 2009 as a 2010 model.

Powered by a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine the 2010MY GLK 350 will form the basis of the U.S. lineup, and will be offered in both 4MATIC and two-wheel-drive versions, riding on standard 19-inch 10-spoke wheels with 235/50 tires. The GLK features a 108.5-inch wheelbase and boasts unique design language which sets it apart from the rest of the highly successful Mercedes-Benz family of SUVs that includes the M-Class (which spurred the trend toward more car-like SUVs), the larger GL-Class, the crossover R-Class and the iconic G-Class.

Showcasing bold exterior design, generous cargo capacity and available 4MATIC all-wheel-drive, the GLK 350 combines the perfect balance of styling, versatility and performance. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class will be produced exclusively at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen, Germany.

Aggressive Styling and a Unique Personality

With its poised, confident presence, the GLK-Class leaves no doubt about its intent to conquer the compact premium SUV segment. In sharp contrast to the relatively soft forms of other similar-sized vehicles, the striking, angular profile of the GLK sets it apart from the competition. From its steeply-raked windshield to the integrated rear spoiler on its tightly styled roof section, the bullish shape of the new Mercedes GLK suggests power and agility, and echoes the G-Class -- the iconic pioneer of the Mercedes-Benz SUV family.

Mercedes-Benz Design Chief Prof. Peter Pfeiffer adds: "With the G-Class we created a style icon that has been a benchmark in SUV design for the past 30 years. Combining this bold concept with the latest Mercedes-Benz design idiom makes the GLK a vehicle of genuine character."

Beautiful proportions (length 178.3 inches, width 72.4 inches, height 66.9 inches) and styling combine classic angular shapes together with the distinctive design features found in contemporary Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. Taut lines and large, expansive surfaces mix with the traditional characteristics of a proper off-road vehicle, such as short overhangs, an upright front end, slim roof pillars, and a steeply raked windshield. Generous angles of approach and departure combined with impressive ground clearance allow the GLK to handle light off-roading with ease. On-road, the clear layout of the exterior and good all-around visibility, combined with a commanding seating position, enhance everyday practicality and relaxed driving, even in dense city traffic.

A Luxurious, Feature-Rich Interior

The GLK boasts a long list of standard equipment, including details not typically found in this vehicle class. Inside, a two-zone automatic climate control system, adjustable steering column, front seats with electrically adjustable height and backrest angle (including seat inclination adjustment) and manual lumbar support with two-way adjustment for the driver's seat are all standard on the GLK. Standard integrated Bluetooth interface for mobile phones, a microphone for the hands-free system and a central 5-inch color display round out the list of interior appointments.

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK features all the impressive design and safety technology found in other Mercedes-Benz models, including standard front and side air bags as well as window air bags. Among its many comfort and convenience features is an available rear-seat entertainment system featuring two eight-inch screens, wireless headphones and an integrated dual-source DVD player.

The distinctive looks of the GLK exterior are seamlessly continued inside, with luxurious materials and precise detailing. The taught, sculpted lines of the dashboard dominate the interior, visually extending into the door panels to lend additional width to the generously dimensioned cockpit. Luxurious Sienna Pine wood with chrome trim highlights the dashboard and door panels at the front and rear, while the upper section of the encompasses the instrument cluster and the standard 5-inch color display. The driver's armrest features integrated cupholders and the standard controller for the audio functions and the optional COMAND multimedia system are located in ergonomically ideal positions between the front seats. Control of the individual menus is intuitive, following the familiar and well-proven layout used in the current C-Class and S-Class models. Additional shortcut buttons provide direct access to the most important main functions. Front and rear headroom figures are 39.8 inches and 39.7 inches respectively, while the cargo area boasts 23.3 cubic feet of storage. Cargo capacity balloons to 54.7 cubic feet when the 1/3:2/3-split rear seats are folded forwards.

A Wealth of Optional Equipment for the GLK buyer

Contributing to the versatility of the new SUV, five option packages as well as nine stand-alone options are planned for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350. The popular Premium 1 package offers GLK buyers a spacious Panorama Sunroof, SIRIUS satellite radio and a power liftgate. Customers seeking even more luxury can opt for the Premium 2 package, which adds Bi-Xenon headlamps with adaptive lighting and headlamp washing system, rain sensing windshield wipers, memory settings for the driver's seat, and much more. The Multimedia Package (which debuted on the new C-Class) adds COMAND with hard-drive Navigation as well as a rear-view back-up camera. Exterior options include an Appearance Package offering larger 20-inch 7-spoke wheels and Aluminum roof rails and, for the interior, an Upholstery Package adds interior lighting, a full leather interior and burl walnut trim.

Available 4MATIC All-Wheel-Drive System

The optional all-wheel-drive powertrain at the heart of the GLK 350 4MATIC is one of the most capable systems on the market. The dynamic ESP®, ASR and 4ETS driving systems work in concert to ensure top-notch longitudinal and lateral control and superb handling stability both on and off-road. Thanks to a compact, longitudinally designed engine, transmission and transfer case arrangement, the system offers various advantages over its counterparts equipped with a transversely installed drive unit. Estimated 23 mpg highway fuel consumption is on a par with comparable rear-wheel vehicles, while vibration and noise levels rival those of luxury models.

The 45:55 torque distribution between the front and rear axle - along with the ESP®, ASR and 4ETS dynamic handling control systems - guarantees effortless and exceptional performance. Loss of traction on snow or ice is compensated for by the newly developed multi-disc clutch in the center differential, which provides a basic partial locking torque between the front and rear axle. This arrangement produces a significant increase in traction while maintaining directional stability.

Agility Control Suspension

The sophisticated Agility Control suspension on the new Mercedes GLK-Class helps resolve a common paradox facing the SUV segment - how to create a vehicle that combines agile on-road comfort with off-road capability. For sporty, responsive handling, the suspension and, above all, the shock absorbers need to provide a certain firmness however, this may compromise comfort and limits off-road performance. If the vehicle is setup with softer dampers, dynamic handling naturally suffers. Thanks to "amplitude-dependent damping" the suspension can adjust to perform in either driving conditions. During normal driving on moderately contoured roads or slow off-road manoeuvres, the system responds softly, enhancing both the occupants' comfort and the vehicle's off-road capability. During more spirited driving or when performing abrupt evasive maneuvers, the dampers adjust to a harder setting ensuring optimum handling stability. Additionally, speed-sensitive power steering supports the driver with a precise balance of high-speed road feel and low speed maneuverability. Maximum power assistance is available during parking and off-road driving, while at higher speeds, the assistance is reduced in favor of greater handling stability.

In addition to a tire pressure warning system, the tried-and-tested Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for the GLK incorporates a vehicle/trailer stabilization function, which helps maintain control while towing a trailer by applying the individual wheel brakes as required. The GLK offers a maximum tow rating of 3,500 lbs.

Proven V6 Powerplant

The new sport utility is destined to be one of the most fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz vehicles ever. Smaller and lighter than its well-known SUV siblings, the GLK features a fuel-sipping 3.5-liter V6 engine, a sophisticated seven-speed automatic transmission and available 4MATIC full-time four-wheel-drive. All of these components combine to give the GLK 350 an impressive 0-60 time of just 6.5 seconds (estimated) while achieving an 23 mpg (estimated) on the highway.

Both the GLK 350 and GLK 350 4MATIC are matched with a seven-speed automatic transmission as standard. Low overall weight (estimated 4,036 lb. curb weight) and the exceptional aerodynamics for a vehicle of this design (cd figure 0.35) further contribute to the exceptional performance and low fuel consumption.

Much as the latest C-Class sedan has brought a new level of sporty driving and ride comfort to the sedan world, the new Mercedes GLK brings a new combination of agility and comfort to the SUV market. The GLK also broadens and extends the Mercedes-Benz sport utility line with cutting-edge engine and four-wheel-drive technology packaged in a stylish vehicle that's the perfect size for today's busy family.

The Widest Range of SUVs

Mercedes-Benz offers the widest range of SUVs in the premium segment, the GLK being the brand's fifth model in the series. In response to customers' wishes, the company's Family of SUV's has grown to include the R-Class, M-Class, GL-Class and G‑Class. The new Mercedes GLK is the latest addition to this successful line-up.
