The all-new Chevrolet Colorado 2012 truck, designed and engineered to be General Motors’ toughest, highest-performing and most-refined midsize pickup truck ever, made its global debut in Thailand. The new-generation Chevy Colorado offers more technology and delivers more features and value than ever. Interiors, exteriors and major mechanical features are all new, representing the most-extensive clean-sheet midsize truck program in Chevrolet’s 100-year history.

The Chevrolet Colorado truck features a choice of two all-new Duramax turbo-diesel engines that provide a leading combination of performance and fuel economy across three specification levels. It also has been developed to meet the highest-possible safety standards wherever it is sold. Included in the Chevrolet Colorado range are features such as electronic stability control, anti-lock braking system featuring electronic brake force distribution, traction control, hydraulic brake assist, cornering brake control and driver and occupant front air bags.

The Chevrolet Colorado 2012 truck also features an all-new global family of GM-developed turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines designed to deliver a leading combination of performance and fuel efficiency. The two Duramax diesels, built at GM Thailand’s newly opened $200 million engine plant, are available in 2.8-liter and 2.5-liter displacements. The 2.8-liter turbo-diesel features a variable-geometry turbocharger for optimal power and efficiency across the rpm band and a balance shaft for greater smoothness, while both engines feature components designed to last for 240,000 kilometers.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster 2012 with powerful 563 hp V8 engine

admin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 20:37:13 +0000

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster 2012 has the same, muscular engine as the gullwing model. The 6.3-litre V8 with a peak output of 563 hp at 6,800 rpm makes the open-top SLS one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment. Its power-to-weight ratio is 6.5 pounds per hp. This naturally aspirated engine generates its maximum torque of 479 pound-feet at 4,750 rpm. The convertible SLS AMG accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.8 s), and the top speed is 197 mph / 317 km/h (electronically limited) – which means that the Roadster has almost identical performance to the gullwing.

The high-revving 6.3-liter V8 engine has the typical characteristics of powerful racing engines. It responds immediately and effortlessly to accelerator movements. The use of a dry sump lubrication system allows for a considerably lower installation in the vehicle, yielding a lower center of gravity for high lateral acceleration and thrilling driving dynamics. This Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster sports car thrills with a perfect combination of open-top driving pleasure, outstanding driving dynamics and sophisticated lightweight construction. The 2012 SLS AMG Roadster will make its U.S. debut in Fall 2011.

Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca 2012 Ultimate Race Car

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 02:47:11 +0000

How do you amp up a performance car package as complete as the new Ford Mustang Boss 302 2012 – already a street-legal race car in its own right? Pull out everything that doesn’t make it go faster and add in more of what does. The result is the limited-production Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca 2012 package – the ultimate 2012 Boss, named to commemorate the first-place Ford Mustang Boss 302 finish at the 1970 Trans-Am series opener.

Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca isn’t intended for Boss buyers who simply want an exhilarating daily driver. Think of it like a factory-built race car, which we hope avid racers and track-day fans are going to love.

Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca builds on the bumper-to-bumper improvements found on the standard Mustang Boss while further stiffening the chassis and installing an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R.

Ford Mustang Boss 302 2012 Special Car

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 05:37:44 +0000

In 1968, management approved a special Mustang – a car that sacrificed nothing in its quest to be the best all-around road-going performance machine ever created by Ford Motor Company. That car became the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, and it remains one of the world’s most sought-after examples of American performance. Forty-two years later, Ford teams of engineers, designers and stylists – all Mustang enthusiasts to the core – that created the groundbreaking Mustang GT 2011 has distilled a new model to its purest form, strengthening, lightening and refining each system to create a race car with a license plate. Its name: the Ford Mustang Boss 302 2012.

To celebrate the racing heritage of the new Ford Mustang Boss 302, Ford will also offer a limited number of Boss 302 Laguna Seca models, named for the track where Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am season opener in a Boss 302. Aimed at racers more interested in on-track performance than creature comforts, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca has increased body stiffness, a firmer chassis set-up and an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R.

Volkswagen Golf R 2010 Impressive TSI’s Torque

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 04:39:25 +0000

The new Volkswagen Golf R 2010 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h – also via all-wheel drive – in 5.7 seconds. On the previous model, the stopwatch stopped at 6.5 seconds. The new model puts the 1,000-meter mark behind it in 25.4 seconds, while the already masterful Golf R32 shot past this mark in 26.7 seconds. The Volkswagen Golf R does this even better with the optional DSG gearbox, sprinting to 100 km/h in a sensational 5.5 seconds and requiring just 8.4 litres petrol per 100 kilometres (equivalent to 195 g/km CO2) at the fuel pump.

The TSI’s torque characteristic is just as impressive. By comparison: The six cylinder of the previous model developed a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters at 2,500 rpm. And that was already remarkably good. The turbo four-cylinder direct injection engine of the new Volkswagen Golf R, on the other hand, transfers 350 Newton-meters torque to the crankshaft, which is also available starting at 2,500 rpm, but it can maintain this peak value up to 5,000 rpm. So the new car delivers a fascinatingly high level of basic dynamic performance. The Volkswagen Golf R32 and Volkswagen Golf R are really only equal in one discipline; they both have a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited on the Volkswagen Golf R).
