new 2012 Lamborghini Estoque

According to leaked in recent days, the house in Sant'Agata Bolognese have officially given these days to the project which involves the production, from 2014, the Lamborghini Estoque, a concept presented at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, which previously had never seen the light.

The Estoque is a four-door coupe that among the fans had been a great success, and perhaps for this hour of the house of Taurus engineers have decided to produce it. Sedan from the roof very sloping, the Estoque is characterized by the same style of the last cars built by Lamborghini. The super sedan that takes its name borrowed from the deadly sword of the matador will then, and apparently Maserati Quattroporte, Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide will perhaps one day with a rival brand of bull. We assume a 10-cylinder engine of 5.2 liters for 600 horsepower, and all the way here, we're always talking about Lamborghini and then the power can not surprise us that much, even if the property Audi leaves open several possibilities in this direction . While other music you would expect on the side lines of the design. In this field it seems Lamborghini designers love leave everyone gaping mouth. The four-port solution seems to confirm this trend. Few other cars, see Aston Martin Rapide, were able to keep grit and grace of a true grand tourer while switching to an atypical four-door configuration.

Four replaces the supercar Ferrari 612 Scaglietti: it does so with a very particular body, with a modern engine and a four wheel drive system.

Ferrari FF was afforded, in fact, a mechanism to transfer torque to the tires of all sports coaches (the 4WD system is called, without too much imagination) and at the same time, to balance the distribution of masses ( 1,790 kilograms) of Ferrari sports shooting brake Four (broken down by around 47% of the front axle and rear axle about 53%).

New Mini cooper SD

The new Mini Cooper SD has the largest engine ever had that came from the famous car manufacturer of the English: it is the turbo four-cylinder 2-liter (143 hp maximum power, maximum torque 305 Nm) developed by BMW and now adopted on all Mini models (Hatch, Cabrio, Clubman and Countryman).

The engine, equipped with a supercharging system of ad hoc and common-rail direct injection of the first generation, it offers respectable performance that vary slightly depending on the version, while the construction point of view, the engine is similar to that 1.6-l fitted to the Mini One D and MINI Cooper D (aluminum crankcase to reduce weight and turbo with variable intake to optimize the supply at each speed of rotation).

The technical equipment is instead very similar to that of the classic Mini Cooper S with rigid structure and suspension system with McPherson front (though tuned differently to take account of the fact that a diesel engine over the post of 'front compared to a petrol) and multilink at the rear, however, is present in the SD Sport button that, once inserted, acts on the set up of the vehicle (suspension, steering, stability control, etc..) to enhance its dynamic qualities.

Even from an aesthetic point of view, the Mini Cooper SD are very similar to the Mini Cooper S, both externally and internally, in particular, the cabin has no variation, while the outside is just the logo on the tailgate to identify the SD version while for the rest (bumpers, hood, dual exhaust central, roof spoiler, etc..) there are substantial differences compared to the S range gasoline, which in fact represent a new sort of SD evolution, although a clear continuity but does not appear at all repetitive.

In general, Blue Link from Hyundai is a true multimedia processor with advanced features and Internet access. Blue Link can even give advice on economical driving, based on your driving style.

Finally, the best thing about Hyundai Veloster - engine. Under the hood of the newly created "Korean" mounted 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with direct injection. The power of this unit makes 138 hp, while torque is 166 Nm. Veloster will be the first Hyundai, which will be installed on a dual-clutch transmission.
