PEUGEOT 20CUP





Expressing Peugeot's new alignment with sport, the 20Cup is an innovative concept, both fun and dynamic: suggesting an elegant synthesis between two worlds - that of the motor car by its front aspect and that of the motorcycle by its single rear wheel. This sporty, three-wheel roadster, shown in two examples, differentiated only by color, promises real driving pleasure through the strong sensations it evokes.

Confirming its presence in high-level motor sport, Peugeot recently announced its new commitment to competition via the LMES (Le Mans Endurance Series) Championship. The 20Cup, in a more conventional form but drawing much of its inspiration from the saloon vehicle, will give Peugeot the basis for the development of a strong presence on the racing circuit. Prefiguring the stylistic characteristics of a future model through its front aspect, the 20Cup announces a Peugeot style that is even more incisive and feline. Radical by dint of its low ride height and engineering solutions taken from the world of motor sport, this concept car is built around a one-piece carbon chassis incorporating a separate two-seater cockpit located at road level.

The very low assembly and front transverse power train are designed to load the front axle and lower the centre of gravity as much as possible. The single-arm rear axle, virtually load-free, is used only to steer this vehicle, which weighs less than 1100 lb (500 kg) and is centered on the front axle for extremely efficient road holding.

Built aerodynamically, the 20Cup presents a generous front-mounted air intake, with air evacuated laterally ahead of the front wheels. On the lower body sides, profiles serve as an aerodynamic diffuser to promote maximum bearing on the front axle. A new engine, the fruit of cooperation between the PSA Peugeot Citroen and BMW Group, is introduced by Peugeot for the first time at the prototype stage on this concept car: this turbo-charged 4-cylinder petrol engine with direct injection has sixteen valves and two overhead camshafts and is packed with ultra-modern technical features. On this version it develops a maximum power of 170 bhp and a maximum torque of 325 lb-ft.

The sequential 6-speed manual gearbox has synchronizer dog teeth and is controlled by means of paddles under the steering wheel.

For this high-performance vehicle, the front suspension is the dual wishbone type, with drop links and an adjustable anti-roll bar. The rear wheel is held by a single arm with a spring/damper assembly, equipped with a rocker arm to ensure variable flexibility. Of the three 18'' alloy wheels, the one at the rear is the "cage" type with two removable wheel bodies. The front tires are 210/65 R18s and the rear tire is a 377/71 R18.

This two-seater car features rack and pinion steering and a multifunction steering wheel. It houses the control paddles of the piloted gearbox and, in its centre, a touch screen displaying a virtual readable image that remains horizontal regardless of the position of the steering wheel. This screen whose image is computed according to the steering wheel angle allows the driver for example to switch on the headlamps and can provide driving assistance during sporty use by showing transverse as well as longitudinal acceleration. It also contains all of the car's operating indicators.

The metallic black or opaque white body also has direct carbon surfaces and, on each side, an "historic" lion's head that follows the curve of the front wing. A central red strip decorates the car's body lengthwise.

The impression made ​​by the typical elegant VIP boosted thanks to the use of body kit add-on, the front and rear bumpers Veloz this white color. That is not to reduce the original function of innate body parts car.

While the stern, which originally also designed with grooves on the bottom of the bumper, plus add-on panels that were on the side of the muffler hole accents either side. So as to create an impression of elegance blends sporty feel to the buttocks of this MPV.

Sectors of the legs is believed by William able to push up the overall look of the car. He also slipped Exe Pegasus rim diameter of 18 inches. "The front wheels use 7.5 inches wide and somewhat contrived rear wearing 8 inch wide, with an offset of 45 for all the wheels," said the bespectacled man was.

Turning to the interior of a deliberately contrived full elegant nuances. Consideration, said William, the car is so flagship for spree. So that the cabin should be made ​​as comfortable as possible, so that He and his beloved wife and children on the trip did not tire easily.

Brought the concept of daily use, William was to up-grade the standard audio system All New Avanza 1.5 Veloz hers, without compromising the compact MPV is the default application.

Features such as remote steering, which has complete audio system Veloz. So for a replacement head unit integrated model of congenital car, must be tailored to the application on the steering wheel remote audio of this.

The choice fell on an OEM version of the monitor head unit (original equipment manufacturer) universal type. Brand i-Move to monitor the size of 7 inches, is available connectors for its remote steering system, so the car remains the default remote steering function normally, "explains William.

Similarly, the replacement of the front speakers, using the model 2-way coaxial system (midlow & tweeter). This is done to equalize the sound to the standard version of the car, it can even be said of his level slightly above the quality standards of the car speakers.

Consequently, the tweeters in the pillars of a congenital Veloz, deliberately turned off its function. In order not to crash with a full-range speaker from Pioneer is 5 inches.

This new MPV, is intended for operating the family car and workshop of his body kit. No wonder, when William was a shadow of tuning options that will be pinned on his Avanza Veloz. "Itching also want the person who tinkers Veloz Avanza to look more attractive. Incidentally also supports the family, "added the courtier W7 Carsmetic workshop on commercial Taman Palem, Cengkareng, Tangerang.
Tuning is done on the Avanza William Veloz hers was complete, ranging from the exterior, interior, legs up to upgrade the audio system. Because, "Aside from being a daily car, Avanza Veloz, I made a model project for my workshop," he said.

Unfortunately, the market is not yet available per aftermarket for Avanza Veloz. Though diameter per Avanza Veloz, smaller than the previous Avanza. Because different substitution options were not possible. While the custom option to cut the screw as, judged to sacrifice comfort and safety.

Interior MINI INSPIRATION
To be more comfortable and personal, William inteior with synthetic leather lining MBtech products. The choice by combining the colors of white and black of the Superior MBtech MBtech Camaro. "I like the polka-dot texture of Superior, but want the look of two tone," she smiled.

Italian brand’s rapid new flagship supercar spotted during testing.
No, it’s not a Ferrari panel van – this hunchbacked blob of black plastic is actually a prototype version of the Italian supercar brand’s upcoming Enzo replacement.

The manic new model – codenamed F70 – will reportedly receive the same 6.2-litre V12 engine as is fitted to the recently unveiled F12 Berlinetta, with the powerplant apparently good for 590kW. An extra 90kW of boost comes from a formula one-style kinetic energy recovery system, bringing the maximum power output to a whopping 680kW.
Ferrari engineers are said to be aiming to beat the go-to performance car hero, the Bugatti Veyron – that means it should be able to sprint from 0-100km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, with a possible top speed of more than 410km/h.
Sources suggest the kerb weight of the car will be less than 1200 kilograms, courtesy of expansive use of lightweight carbon fibre through the body and aluminium in the underpinnings.
The car seen in our spy images is a mule – a rolling test-bed of working components – but the black camouflage wrap does give us some hints as to how the final product could look.

The front-end styling will likely resemble the smaller 458 Italia’s, with a flat nose, elongated headlights, broad-shouldered stance and wing-like rear wheel arches. It’s hard to say what the body of the car will look like, but you can expect something spectacular.

Rumours suggest the F70 model will make its motor show debut at Geneva in 2013, while prospective buyers are likely to be given a sneak preview later this year.
The F70 follows on from a long line of range-topping ubercars including the F40, F50 and the (should have been F60) E
nzo.

BMW's new high-performance M5, only uses 9.9L/100km

BMW's new high-performance M5, only uses 9.9L/100km.



Luxury brand BMW has taken the unusual step of printing thousands of brochures that highlight "popular" concerns about its cars.

"Six Popular Misconceptions About BMW" is being sent to prospective buyers who have never owned a BMW before.

The issues are dealt with under the headlines: "Other cars are more reliable", "A BMW will cost me more than other cars", "You're on your own once you leave the showroom" and "Sporty driving burns a lot of fuel".

A spokesman for BMW Australia, Piers Scott, says the promotional material was not intended for existing customers or the media.
Could the campaign could backfire? "I will leave it to you to determine if it backfires,'' he says. ''I would suggest it's a novel way of communicating these topics."

BMW Australia says it adapted the idea from a similar campaign in Germany.
 "Misconceptions apply to any premium marque," Scott says. "One thing we do find about our vehicles is the misconception about fuel economy … we are the most sustainable car company according to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index."

Regarding the perceived high price of its vehicles, Scott says: "We are left off a lot of fleet-tender lists - especially where state government fleets are concerned - on the basis of the badge alone. But when you look at whole-of-life costs, we work out better than many mass-market cars."

Regarding fuel consumption and sporty driving, Scott concedes there are many more fuel-efficient cars on the market. But, he adds, many buyers would be surprised to learn one of the world's fastest four-door sedans, the twin-turbo V8 BMW M5, has a fuel economy average of 9.9 litres per 100 kilometres.
That figure, of course, goes out the window when the car is driven enthusiastically. "But that's true of any vehicle," Scott says.

As for concerns about customers being neglected after they've bought a vehicle, Scott says: "I would suggest it's a way of allaying potential concerns that your service and after-sales experience would be a costly or inconvenient one when the opposite is true."
BMW Australia says it did not conduct a study before issuing the brochures. "No research prompted this. It was more instinctive," Scott says. He says "thousands" of the brochures would continue to be sent to prospective buyers.

Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo Ute

From $41,190 plus on-road and dealer costs. 4.0-litre turbo 6-cyl; 270kW/533Nm; 6-sp auto; 12.4L/100km and 292g/km CO2; RWD

Value
Part-powered driver's seat, single-zone climate control, 8.0-inch colour touchscreen; Bluetooth integration with audio streaming; auto headlights; alloy sports bar; foglights; 18-inch alloy wheels; steel spare wheel. Four airbags and stability control. Six-speed auto adds $2000.

Inside
White-on-black trip computer illumination and cool blue instrument glow look more premium and auto gearlever looks and feels nicer. Steering wheel buttons don't illuminate at night and driver's seat positioned too high. Like the Holden, overall design is beginning to get on a bit.

Engine
Unleashes its greater power and torque like an elastic band, albeit after a moment's unnerving hesitation. Intuitive six-speed auto slurs shifts nicely and trumps the SS's gearbox.

How it drives
Manic power delivery makes it far easier to break traction, especially in the wet. Sports suspension delivers firm yet controlled ride and stellar handling.

Practicality
Auto-equipped model has greater braked towing capacity (2300 kilograms versus Holden's 1600kg) with optional tow bar but has smaller payload (570kg versus 598kg) and tray dimensions.

Verdict
Leads on value and feels more premium inside but that sledgehammer blow as the turbo clocks on can make the Falcon a handful.
