New Alfa Remeo Spider 2010

The Alfa Romeo Spider is a roadster produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1966 to 1993 (190 Spiders were badged as 1994 Commemorative Editions for the North American market). Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. The three first series were assembled by Pininfarina in Grugliasco and the fourth series in San Giorgio Canavese. The last Spider was produced in April 1993, it was also the last rear wheel drive Alfa Romeo produced before Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione was introduced.

Now, Alfa Spider is compact concept created by students Gaiani Alberto, Massimo Zedda Paparella and Michela, for the 2009 edition of the Master in Transportation Design organized by the Polytechnic University in Milano (Milan, Italy) in partnership with Alfa Romeo. SuperCarDesign concepts presented in the 2010 event, which took place on May 3 and at Bobbio in northern Italy.

The project was introduced by Samuel Codegoni designer, faculty member at the University of Italy. One of the main idea that drives this project is to express a sense of suspense in the action.

"This is clearly away from the first production model as a reference: the Duetto iconic of the 1960s - the second reference is the Alfa Spider from the 90s, with a distinctive wedge-shaped profile."

The layout features a mechanical engine is mounted longitudinally front combined with rear-wheel drive. The soft-top is electrically operated.

Design has always been an important factor for Alfa Romeo. In fact, it's the combination of design and engine that has made it into the legend it certainly is today. There has been made quite a few Alfa concept cars over the years by the Alfa in-house design department Centero Stile, and by outside design houses like Pininfarina, Bertone, Zagato and Giugiaro/ItalDesign. Below are some of these concepts, - and cars made in very limited numbers. Most of these are not actually working, and were just made for showing off at different Motor Shows.

Little about the alfa remeo

The Italians would call any open car a "Spider", but the name actually comes from the old horse carriages suitable for two. (You know the one Doc always rides in the old western movies). Since Spider is the general term for an open two-seater, or roadster, - there has been several Alfa Spiders (and Ferrari's for that matter) over the years. These pages mainly concentrate on the Pininfarina designed 1995 GTV/Spider, - with some other Alfa models thrown in as well.

Anyway, - I bought the Spider first of all because of the exceptional and award winning design and I was constantly looking at the reflection in the shopping windows when I was waiting for a green light. However, I soon discovered that I had bought something a lot more! Suddenly, terms like "driving pleasure", and "the Alfa Romeo legend" made sense. I was always trying to come up with poor excuses to take it for a spin and it did what most cars won't do for you.

Volvo Air Motion Open Air Car Design Concept Futuristic Car

Sport futuristic car Volvo Air Motion design concept presented at Los Angeles Auto Show Car Design Challenge Competition, Volvo car Maker Company. Unique open air car design technology whole innovative level with its “lighter than a Formula 1 racing car” study vehicles development.

New Nissan X-Trail 2011

An overview, Several years ago, at school, there was a adolescent guy called Bradley. Now Bradley was about 6-feet tall, was adequately lanky, and was as white as archetype paper. Yet somehow he managed to be blacker than Fiddy Cent. You see, his cap was consistently backwards, his agreeable repertoire comprised every rap song anytime written, and his jeans were baggier than a abrasion cutting a tuxedo.

Bradley’s botheration was image. He aloof couldn’t acquire what he was, and several years later, he was no hip-hop music producer. No, he was aloof addition white guy again, and was aback to normal. Which is why it affronted me at the time, that he couldn’t aloof be himself. Why did he accept to try to affect everyone?

The aforementioned goes with the Australian car market. What is it with bodies affairs four-wheel-drives back they’re acutely not activity to anytime go off-road? I accept several accompany who accept bought soft-roaders and debris to alike booty them bottomward to the beach. “I ability blemish it” was one of the responses, and what afraid me alike added was that they were asleep serious.

Engine choices are also changed from two to one as only a 2-litre petrol engine is available. This is the MR20DE 4-cylinder engine, different from the one in the first X-Trail which had a QR-series engine. The all-aluminium MR engine series was jointly developed by Nissan and Renault and is used in the French carmaker’s models too. The 2-litre version for the new X-Trail produces 139 bhp/198 Nm and has enhanced efficiency with variable valve timing. It’s actually the same RON95-compatible engine as found in the Sylphy (but tweaked for enhanced torque) and like the sedan, it also uses Nissan’s XTRONIC CVT with 6 speeds.

The SUV’s engine and transmission also ensure superior fuel economy. Tests have shown that the X-Trail’s average fuel consumption is a healthy 14km per litre (Japan 10-15 mode) - and this is comparable to that of many sedans on the road today.

These include bi-xenon headlamps for improved visibility at night and during bad whether; an intelligent system for true keyless entry and startups; enhanced audio system with MP3 playback, six virtual CDs, USB port, AUX jack, SD Card connectivity, Bluetooth function and Telephone Control Input; as well as dual air bags, ABS, BA (Brake Assist) and six-star safety rating by the Japanese New Car Assessment Programme.

2011 Toyota RAV4 crossover in the selling price of $ 21.925 close to the middle in terms of exterior dimensions. But Toyota has found a way to offer all the rooms (with seating for seven) while still providing an impressive fuel efficiency. Indeed, today the larger RAV4 is supported by the available 269 horsepower V6 is actually exceed-fuel-economy ratings than the original RAV4 with a 120-hp four-cylinder - this gives 1 mpg during the EPA-rated combined driving.

One of the strengths RAV4 is its ability to easily make the transition from a family runabout accommodate the pack mule. There is useful storage space throughout the interior and rear seats fold down to create a spacious cargo hold more than the Ford Edge media.

Car History and images

The first working steam-powered vehicle was probably designed by Ferdinand Verbiest, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm-long scale-model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built.

In 1752, Leonty Shamshurenkov, a Russian peasant, constructed a human-pedalled four-wheeled "auto-running" carriage, and subsequently proposed to equip it with odometer and to use the same principle for making a self-propelling sledge.

Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769, by adapting an existing horse-drawn vehicle. However, this claim is disputed by some who doubt Cugnot's three-wheeler ever ran or was stable.[citation needed] In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam-powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods, and was of little practical use. In the 1780s, a Russian inventor of merchant origin, Ivan Kulibin, developed a human-pedalled, three-wheeled carriage with modern features such as a flywheel, brake, Transmission, and bearings; however, it was not developed further. In 1807 Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called a Pyréolophore, but they chose to install it in a boat on the river Saone in France. Coincidentally, in 1807 the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed his own 'internal combustion engine' and used it to develop the world's first vehicle, to be powered by such an engine. The Niépces' Pyréolophore was fuelled by a mixture of Lycopodium powder (dried Lycopodium moss), finely crushed coal dust and resin that were mixed with oil, whereas de Rivaz used a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Neither design was very successful, as was the case with others, such as Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir with his hippomobile, who each produced vehicles (usually adapted carriages or carts) powered by clumsy internal combustion engines.

In November 1881, French inventor Gustave Trouvé demonstrated a working three-wheeled automobile powered by electricity at the International Exposition of Electricity, Paris.

Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Karl Benz generally is acknowledged as the inventor of the modern automobile.

An automobile powered by his own four-stroke cycle gasoline engine was built in Mannheim, Germany by Karl Benz in 1885, and granted a patent in January of the following year under the auspices of his major company, Benz & Cie., which was founded in 1883. It was an integral design, without the adaptation of other existing components, and included several new technological elements to create a new concept. He began to sell his production vehicles in 1888.

In 1879, Benz was granted a patent for his first engine, which had been designed in 1878. Many of his other inventions made the use of the internal combustion engine feasible for powering a vehicle.

His first Motorwagen was built in 1885, and he was awarded the patent for its invention as of his application on January 29, 1886. Benz began promotion of the vehicle on July 3, 1886, and about 25 Benz vehicles were sold between 1888 and 1893, when his first four-wheeler was introduced along with a model intended for affordability. They also were powered with four-stroke engines of his own design. Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under license, now added the Benz automobile to his line of products. Because France was more open to the early automobiles, initially more were built and sold in France through Roger than Benz sold in Germany.
