2012 nascar news will unveil new things at the Daytona 500 race

Garen Nicoghosian, chairman of Ford's design team for this racecar, stuffing her body with aerodynamic packages like NASCAR cars, but without losing the characteristic curves of mass production version of Ford Fusion, for example the shape grille. The reason is, that could be emulated by the lovers of the world and the modification of four-wheel racing NASCAR.

FYI, the 2013 Ford Fusion NASCAR racecar will be introduced to the public while at the Daytona 500 race that will begin to be held in February 2013.

When the Detroit Motor Show and then, apparently not only bring the Ford 2013 Ford Fusion just to be introduced to the public. But apparently they also make use of the international automotive event as a moment to introduce a prototype 2013 Ford Fusion NASCAR racecar.

Transit new model is available in two long wheelbase, short wheelbase (SWB) and long wheelbase (LWB).

10 supercar's assumed of wasting fuel

Having a luxury car or a supercar is very desirable. But beyond that, his strength is great and has a very high speed effect on fuel efficiency.

In the midst of oil prices continue to soar, every automaker is currently competing to create an economical car. Starting from developing diesel engines, hybrids, electric vehicles and almost all automotive manufacturers to build vehicles version of "eco". Apparently, a luxury car or a supercar is still not fully lead to efficiency. Here's a list of the most wasteful vehicles;

A. Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Of the more we are in the bottom of the list, the farther from the predicate terekonomis supercar or a luxury car. Due to this one car requires 5 km / l in urban as well as 6:38 km / l for each trip taken.

2. Lamborghini Murcielago
Although all impressed with the appearance of frightening and fantastic speed, supercar bearing the raging bull has a worst emission levels. In addition, the 6.5 liter V12 engine is just a 5.53 km to a liter of petrol.

3. Bugatti Veyron
8.0-liter W16 engine is providing exceptional acceleration, but only 1 liter of gasoline soared to 3.4 km on the road as far as urban, and 5.59 km / l on highway. It turned out that the technological sophistication of the engine 10 with 4 turbochargers and intercooler, not much helped supercar utilize fuel better.

4. Bentley Azure Brooksland
Fuel consumption of a luxury car is not much different from the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Brooksland expected within a year of fuel costs by an average of 4568 dollars or about Rp 40 million, while Scaglietti only 4377 U.S. dollars (USD 39 million).

5. Ferrari 416 Scaglietti
For vehicles bearing the Prancing Horse Italian are making progress. 5.7-liter V12 engine that can shoot up to 540.40 PS, can take up to 4 km / l for the city and 6:38 km / l on the highway.

6. Maybach 57
Luxury cars at a cost of 335 500 U.S. dollars or about Rp 3 billion-an, of course not built with poor quality. However, through a 6.0-liter V12 engine that he can have a fuel absorbs at 4:25 km / l in the city and 6.8 km / l on the highway.

7. Bentley Continental GT Convertible
The pride of British cars with luxury features, it is not as good fuel consumption. Through a 6.0-liter V12 engine, this convertible needs fuel as much as 4:25 km / l in the city and 7:23 km / l on the highway.

8. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG SUV
Do not ever think to bring this SUV before you have your own oil reserves. Because the car is capable of absorbing 4.68 km / l in urban and 5:53 km / l, with a supercharged AMG 5.4 liter V8.

9. Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG
A vehicle that is capable of producing power up to 517.08 PS and accelerates from 0 - 96.56 kph in five seconds by 6.2 liter V8 engine. But in terms of "economic" wait a minute, his record for eating the fuel 4.68 km / l for the city and 5.95 km / l on the highway.

Recalling Several Nissan- produced car types

Yokohama, - Nissan car models that were identified include damage production Juke Japan and the United Kingdom, Japan assembled Serena, Patrol, Infiniti M and QX August 2009 until January 2012, Chinese assembly Tiida and Micra in India. Of the whole to be called and will be repaired, 92 679 units in Japan and according to a spokesman for the NMC has been no accidents or injuries resulting from such defects .. Added, the problem is not cause harm or injury to the model in the recall are.

Nissan Motor Co. (NMC) to recall 249,522 units of cars of various models around the world because of the condition of the sensor on the fuel rail regulator is less tight. This happens especially on a machine that uses direct injection system. If not corrected will lead to leaks in the fuel line system. Nissan says the fuel rail pressure sensor on a particular vehicle may be loosened gradually

Euro NCAP confers awards due to 2012 Honda Civic earned the highest rating of five stars for safety systems

Brussels, - With the number of accidents in Germany and Europe about 200,000 to 250,000 years ago, is expected CMBS technology can suppress these figures. Reflecting the results of Euro NCAP testing, the Honda crash test facility in Tochigi, Japan is committed to continue to conduct tests on the new Civic with a variation of the weight and size vary.

2012 Honda Civic earned the highest rating of five stars for safety systems of independent institutions Car Safety Assessment Program New Europe (Euro New Car Assessment Programme's = Euro NCAP) is delivered through a release on Wednesday (22/2). This success has extended the collection of Honda's top technology award Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) .

Testing includes the protection of motorists, passengers or pedestrians. Well, the third element of the Civic bagging the highest value, respectively 94% protection for adults, 83% in children, 69% for and 86% of pedestrian safety standards. Raihan figures beat the Jeep Compass which won two stars in adult occupant protection 61%, 76% of children, 23% and 43% of pedestrian safety standards.

Honda CMBS technology is recognized as one of the best available safety innovations. CMBS is a radar technology is integrated with the emergency braking system that was developed to help avoid collisions in the same direction moving or stationary (fixed). This system will alert the driver when a collision is coming in high speed or low speed.

Bosch conducts research on Gasoline Engine Technology Without sparking plugs

The researchers hope their prototype machine will be as strong as GM's 3.8-liter V6 engine but with a shrinking target fuel consumption by 30 percent. Unfortunately, this technology still seems too early. The prototype of this new engine will be completed as early as the year 2014 which means it is still long to be produced commercially.

SOME years ago a gasoline engine without spark plugs or homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is very interesting. A number of major automobile manufacturers including General Motors, Daimler and Volkswagen seriously investigate the benefits.

Bosch conducts research on Gasoline Engine Technology Without sparking plugs

Since then the technology is not widely heard from again after the engine and hybrid electric drive systems powered vehicles increasingly popular. But that does not mean HCCI has been buried.

It seems that HCCI technology still has a bright future. Supplier of automotive components giant Bosch along with several associates plus a grant of U.S. $ 12 million from the departments of energy the United States is working on a project feasibility HCCI commercially.

This technology is reaching the stage just by compressing combustion air and fuel mixture without the need for spark plugs, as occurs in diesel engines. But the designers of gasoline engines face a number of challenges.

The biggest challenge is controlling the HCCI gasoline engine combustion process. If the spark plugs, combustion time can be easily arranged by the PCM (powertrain control module) that can control when the sparks are not possible on HCCI without spark plugs.

Mixture composition and temperature must be changed in complex and timely manner to achieve performance comparable to conventional engines with spark plugs in a very wide range of operational conditions. Challenges include extremes of temperature both hot and cold, thin air content effects on driving conditions at altitudes as in the hills and mountains.

To overcome this problem, the designer can use a machine that uses gasoline but can change the mode between uses spark plugs and diesel-style compression if needed.

If successful, the gasoline engine with HCCI and existing technologies such as turbochargers and stop-start system can improve fuel efficiency by 30 percent compared to a conventional engine with the performance of the first machine berberupa sama.Prototipe GM Ecotec 2.0-liter engine is equipped with a supercharger, turbocharger, direct fuel injection, stop-start systems and variable valve timing.
