BMW M3 Performance

Post by: Automotive

Munich. More driving pleasure, reduced emissions: this principle of the development strategy BMW EfficientDynamics applies equally at the very highest level of performance. As of spring 2010, the high-performance model BMW M3 consistently combines its outstanding driving performance figures with further reduced fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels. The range of BMW EfficientDynamics measures fitted as standard in the models BMW M3 Coupé, BMW M3 Convertible and BMW M3 Sedan is now to be supplemented with the Auto Start Stop Function. This reduces the average fuel consumption and CO2 levels of the BMW M3 by up to 8 per cent or 24 grams of CO2 per kilometre. In order to further hone the outstandingly sporty profile of the model there will also be a Competition Package available as of spring 2010.

The range of driver assistance systems optionally available for the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M will also be extended in spring 2010. Both models can now be fitted with the functions Side View and Speed Limit Info. The remainder of the BMW M GmbH portfolio will likewise feature new offers. Directly at the market launch of the new BMW X5, a newly configured M Sports Package will be available for the Sports Activity Vehicle. The new BMW 3 Series Coupé and the new BMW 3 Series Convertible can also be upgraded from the start with an M Sports Package. An M Sports Package, also designed for the specific model in question, is part of the equipment range of the BMW 3 Series Sedan and the BMW 3 Series Touring in the Edition Sport. For the launch of the Z4 sDrive35, the M Sports Package for the BMW Z4 is offered for all the other versions of the roadster, too. The BMW Individual range will also be further refined. Especially exclusive equipment options are already available at the market launch, also for the new BMW 5 Series Sedan.

Auto Start Stop Function for the BMW M3 - for the first time in conjunction with a dual clutch transmission.

The BMW M3 achieves its outstanding performance with impressive efficiency. Its 4.0 litre V8 high-revving engine mobilises 309 kW/420 bhp, enabling superior acceleration response due to its unique propulsion. In addition to its fascinating performance characteristics, the 8-cylinder engine - developed exclusively for the BMW M3 - is characterised by an unusually high degree of efficiency. Additional efficiency potential is now tapped into with the Auto Start Stop Function. This helps the drive avoid idling phases when stopping at junctions or in congested traffic. In order to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption the engine is switched off when the vehicle comes to a halt. As soon as the driver wishes to continue driving, the engine is re-activated without delay.

The Auto Start Stop Function is used both in vehicles with standard 6-speed manual transmission and in conjunction with the M dual clutch transmission with Drivelogic. The BMW M3 is thus the first model - along with the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 and the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 - to use this efficiency-enhancing measure in combination with an automated manual transmission.

The increase in efficiency brought about by the Auto Start Stop Function is up to 8 per cent of 24 grams of CO2 per kilometre, depending on the model and transmission type. For example, the BMW M3 Coupé with 7-speed M dual clutch transmission and Drivelogic powered by a V8 high-revving engine with 309 kW/420 bhp now achieves an average fuel consumption on the EU test cycle of 11.2 litres per 100 kilometres (6-speed manual transmission: 12.4 litres). The same figures apply to the BMW M3 Sedan. In the case of the BMW M3 Convertible, the average fuel consumption is reduced to 11.5 litres (M dual clutch transmission with Drivelogic) or 12.7 litres (6-speed manual transmission) per 100 kilometres. All versions of the BMW M3 will also meet the exhaust emission norm EU5 in future.

Modified rear lights with glass covers in a homogeneous red colour provide an additional visual accentuation in the BMW M3 Coupé and the BMW M3 Convertible. With two harmoniously illuminating light banks fed by LED units, they create a characteristic nocturnal design.

New for the BMW M3: Competition Package and retrofit options.

The Competition Package, available for the Coupé and the Sedan, and the retrofit options from the range of Original BMW Accessories specially developed for the M3 are just two possible ways of individualising the sports car. With a suspension lowered by some 10 mm and light alloy wheels in the size 9 x 19 inches at the front and Y-spoke design at the rear, the Competition Package provides further optimised longitudinal and transverse dynamics. In addition, the control of the electronic damper adjustment function EDC including a Sport mode specially developed for the Competition Package has been precisely adjusted to the chassis modifications by means of map-based control and the driving stability control function DSC.

The new range of items from the Original BMW Accessories program available for the BMW M3 provides an even more intense driving experience. Retrofit options designed for this model are specifically geared towards increasing dynamic performance and driving pleasure. For example a rear spoiler and front apron flaps in carbon will be available from spring 2010. As well as perfectly matching the Competition Package the aerodynamically optimised components further reduce lift force, thereby increasing the driving dynamics potential of the BMW M3.

New Automotive : Mercedes-Benz C25 Carlsson

Post by: Automotive

- Super-GT Limited small series manufacturer Carlsson

- Edition includes only 25 cars and thus ensure maximum exclusivity

- Carlsson combine top performance with drivability

- Carlsson's own fully developed design vocabulary

Carlsson is approved as a car manufacturer by the Federal Motor Transport Authority of Germany, for the first time brings together a car which developed itself in this year's Geneva Motor Show which Carlsson C25. Super GT concept is based on the vision of combining the maximum driving performance with the design of an entirely new and highly exclusive.

The result is a beautiful liver and sports coup with 753 hp in a limited edition of only 25 cars in the world. Thus, each car will be as individual as the owner of the future. We only build cars to order and delivery quantity for the year 2010 already sold out, says CEO, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Mark Schuster.

With 753 hp and 1150 Newton meters in 3.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h

Performance data from the six-liter V12 Bi-Turbo is impressive. Aggregate high performance motor management optimization patented by Carlsson renders 753 hp (554 kW) and allows rapid acceleration and smooth running at lower speeds. Also responsible for excellent performance is a complex evolvement developed stainless steel exhaust system with four end up in troubled pipe at the back.

Strength of C25 with slingshots Newton meters of torque at 1320 rpm electronically limited 3750 at 1150 Newton meters from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 352 km / h

The perfect combination of top performance and maximum driveability

When developing Carlsson C25, the engineers from the Gut Wiesenhof has achieved to create a Super-GT for smooth day-to-day use, although very high performance. There are more than enough super sports car in this world that can only be safely driven on a race track, said Mark Schuster. Therefore, we deliberately wanted to develop a very exclusive car in one hand and can be used for daily trips to work on the other side. Therefore, Super-GT can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds and still offer very good ride comfort. All security-relevant regulations such as pedestrian protection, crash behavior, ESP, ABS, Airbag system is identical to the series of editions with the most modern standards.

This is also achieved by lowering system C-tronic smart SUSPENSION automatically recognize the characteristics of the road and driving behavior and constantly adjust suspension settings accordingly. This not only resulted in a pleasant journey on the long path, but also ensures that the nodding and rolling motion of the C25 is reduced to a minimum speed curve while driving. Therefore, the car reaches the perfect road holding characteristics in every situation and create a feeling of absolute control.

Unlike the other cars from a small series, the C25 Carlsson has not only made for use on the racetrack. However, C25 achieving top results in the acceleration and handling. Compared with a racing engine with MOT approval, Carlsson C25 offers drivers smooth travel in Alpine passes and also on the streets of the city or even imperfect surface.

Maximum exclusivity confirmed with only one car per country

In addition to the extensive repairs, the Carlsson C25 offers the advantage that every Mercedes-Benz dealer can maintain a car. Like a car based on the latest Mercedes-Benz technology, no need to go to a garage, especially in the C25 Carlsson. This provides additional Carlsson C25 suitability for everyday use. In addition, Carlsson will present only one car per country and therefore an absolute guarantee of exclusivity for its customers.

Carlsson creating the perfect symbiosis of design and functionality

C25 emphasis on the status of this beautiful independent and unique design. Front vehicle with a lobe that extends between the shoulder tapering strongly expect the air to the front and a generous dimensioned side into trapezoidal shapes typical Carlsson supply engines with the necessary ventilation. Ultra-lightweight forged wheels 1 / 10 UL in the dimensions 9.5 x20 and 12x20 inches has been designed especially for C25 and equipped with high performance tires measuring 265/30 in front and 325/25 at the rear axle of life. One wheel weighs only 11.2 pounds, and because it is 40 percent lighter than the custom light alloy wheels.

Ventilation channels in the front and rear wheel houses Carlsson provide a brake system with 405 millimeter put a big race in the front disc brakes and 380-millimeter brake discs on the race of the rear axle with cool air. With this, Carlsson achieve a perfect symbiosis between design and functionality. The elongated flat screen and stuck back on the edge of the boot and ripped a double light diffuser generously dimensioned to make the necessary downthrust and C25 that does not require extensible spoiler. In order to emphasize the uniqueness of the C25, Carlsson has also developed a new rear and front headlights design.

Carlsson's interior is optimized for the driver

The new exterior is designed to resemble the interior as far as shape, color and function concerned. Trapezoidal characteristic elements in the front and rear are also found on the steering wheel. In the seat and center console is also used to shift shape. Instruments clearly turned toward the driver, shows the performance capabilities and improve ergonomics C25. Generous use of real carbon, tanned buffalo leather and ultra-suede specifically provides uniform color and exclusive user-friendly atmosphere. For reasons driveability, Carlsson deliberately refrained from race seats, race ropes, rollover and extreme lowering device.

With the C25, Carlsson confirmed his reputation as one of the most exclusive car manufacturers in the world. High technical competence, many years of experience in the construction of a car, an advanced sense of design and artistic elegance and German engineering make unique Carlsson C25 around the world.

The result is a beautiful liver and sports coup with 753 hp in a limited edition of only 25 cars in the world. Thus, each car will be as individual as the owner of the future. We only build cars to order and delivery quantity for the year 2010 already sold out, says CEO, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Mark Schuster.

With 753 hp and 1150 Newton meters in 3.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h

Performance data from the six-liter V12 Bi-Turbo is impressive. Aggregate high performance motor management optimization patented by Carlsson renders 753 hp (554 kW) and allows rapid acceleration and smooth running at lower speeds.

Therefore, Super-GT can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds and still offer very good ride comfort. All security-relevant regulations such as pedestrian protection, crash behavior, ESP, ABS, Airbag system is identical to the series of editions with the most modern standards.

This is also achieved by lowering system C-tronic smart SUSPENSION automatically recognize the characteristics of the road and driving behavior and constantly adjust suspension settings accordingly. This not only resulted in a pleasant journey on the long path, but also ensures that the nodding and rolling motion of the C25 is reduced to a minimum speed curve while driving. Therefore, the car reaches the perfect road holding characteristics in every situation and create a feeling of absolute control.

Unlike the other cars from a small series, the C25 Carlsson has not only made for use on the racetrack. However, C25 achieving top results in the acceleration and handling. Compared with a racing engine with MOT approval, Carlsson C25 offers drivers smooth travel in Alpine passes and also on the streets of the city or even imperfect surface.

Maximum exclusivity confirmed with only one car per country

In addition to the extensive repairs, the Carlsson C25 offers the advantage that every Mercedes-Benz dealer can maintain a car. Like a car based on the latest Mercedes-Benz technology, no need to go to a garage, especially in the C25 Carlsson. This provides additional Carlsson C25 suitability for everyday use.

Post by: Automotive

- First “8” generation Peugeot car to be launched in China
- Joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroën and the Chinese group DFM

- Peugeot sales increased by 44% in 2009

- Designed specifically for Chinese market

Jean-Marc Gales, Director General of Automobile Peugeot, unveiled the new Peugeot 408 in Beijing to around 300 Chinese journalists and more than 700 network representatives this week.

The Peugeot 408 marks a further step in Peugeot’s objective of increasing its sales in the world’s foremost automobile market - China.

Despite only being present in the Chinese market for 5 years, Peugeot sold over 410, 000 vehicles in 2009. This equates to a 44% increase over 2008.

Following on from the strong performance

in the M1 segment of the 307 hatchback and the 307 saloon, of which 3,522,800 have been produced worldwide, Peugeot is now starting the next chapter of its objective to increase sales in the Chinese market with the introduction of its new DF Peugeot 408.

The luxurious new Peugeot 408 is designed for the Chinese market and will further reinforce Dong Feng Peugeot's product range in the M1 segment that currently accounts

for over 45 % of the total market.

The new DF Peugeot 408 should enable Peugeot to increase its sales volumes by over 30% in 2010, compared with 2009, and thereby to grow at twice the forecast

pace of the market.

The 408 saloon’s architecture has been designed and developed jointly by Peugeot's Styling teams in Europe and China and meets three key objectives to embody the Marque's latest style, guarantee maximum safety and offer unrivalled interior space.

The 408 name follows the Marque's traditional naming logic. The figure 4 refers to the size of the car (4.68 m) and its positioning in the medium-luxury family saloon segment. The 0 in the middle signifies that it belongs to the Peugeot Marque, while the 8 expresses the vehicle generation.

With this name, the 408 naturally falls into place within the current Peugeot range and becomes the forerunner of the 8 series, the latest generation vehicles to be launched on the Chinese market.

The Dong Feng Peugeot 408 is the result of the joint venture set up between PSA Peugeot Citroën and the Chinese group DFM. The car is being produced at the Wuhan plant in Hubei province in China. It is positioned to become one of the market's benchmark

vehicles with a full-year sales objective of 100,000 units.
