2011 BMW 3-Series Convertible Facelift Car Performance

2010-03-24T04:10:00.000-07:00

2011 BMW 3-Series Convertible Face lift Car Performance - Fundamentally unchanged are each car’s essential attributes of rear-wheel drive (xDrive is available on the Coupe), near-perfect 50-50 weight distribution, remarkably precise steering, and skillfully engineered suspension…all of which conspire to produce the uniquely satisfying driving experience that is quintessentially BMW.

All-new is the engine for the 335i model. Internally designated the “N55,” this turbocharged, all-aluminum engine features essentially the same “short block” and 3.0-liter displacement of its predecessor, but benefits from five additional years worth of development and refinement.

The result is an engine that is more responsive, more fuel efficient, and cleaner-running than its outstanding predecessor, but preserves the previous engine’s output and soul: 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, and a 7,000 rpm redline. The 6-speed manual gearbox – beloved by North American enthusiast drivers – remains standard, and the well-known 6-speed Steptronic automatic is optional, now featuring “pull-style” shift paddles on the multifunction steering wheel.

The run to sixty will take just 5.4 seconds and the top speed will be limited to 130 miles per hour.

The EPA has yet to test the vehicle, but the German automaker is estimating its X6 Hybrid will return a 20-percent fuel mileage improvement average over the standard twin-turbo X6. That should mean about 18 miles per gallon combined in the States.

2011 BMW Z4 Car Performance

2010-03-21T06:46:00.000-07:00

2011 BMW Z4 Car Performance - Range-topping Z4 sDrive35is model makes world premiere at NAIAS. Combining classic proportions with modern features, the BMW Z4 Roadster enjoys the top spot in its market segment. Now, the new BMW Z4 sDrive35is distills the Roadster’s performance potential to produce one of BMW’s fastest and best-handling Roadsters ever. The BMW Z4 sDrive35is is making its world debut as a 2011 model at the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. It arrives at authorized BMW Centers in Spring 2010.

The turbocharger system developed for the engine of the new BMW Z4 sDrive35is maintains a high output throughout the entire engine speed range. Nominal peak torque is increased to 332 lb-ft from 1,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm. Maximum output of 335 hp is delivered at 5,900 rpm. It has overboost function for athletic acceleration.

2011 BMW 3-Series Coupe Pictures Car Performance

2010-03-21T06:33:00.000-07:00

2011 BMW 3-Series Coupe Pictures Car Performance - BMW 3 Series Coupe and Convertible customers have a choice of two inline-6 engines that are the worlds’ finest. The 328i features 230 horsepower while the 335i has 300 horsepower and is the first inline-6 equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, BMW’s Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology, High Precision direct fuel injection, and all-aluminum construction.

The 335i’s new inline-6 engine displaces 3.0-liters and develops maximum output of 300 hp at 5,800 rpm, with peak torque of 300 lb-ft available all the way from 1,200-5,000 rpm. Redline is 7,000 rpm. This is the same level of performance as the previous 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 but with the innovation of twin-scroll technology and the integration of Valvetronic, this new engine is even more fuel efficient.

Historically, BMW engineers were never satisfied with the most often-cited downside to turbocharging: the frustrating “turbo lag” that occurs between the time at which driver presses the accelerator pedal and when the turbocharger develops sufficient rotation to increase power. Turbo lag is usually worse at low engine speeds. Other drawbacks included relatively high fuel consumption and poor emissions output. At the time, turbocharger technology was not a reliable, practical or efficient was to make power. For these and other reasons, BMW put turbocharged gasoline engines on the shelf for more than 20 years.

Two recent developments caused BMW to reconsider turbocharging. While many luxury-performance carmakers began to achieve power gains by building engines of ever-increasing displacement, BMW looked for a more efficient way; smaller engines and turbocharging made sense. Also, the technology transfer from BMW’s turbocharged diesel engines could easily be transferred to their gasoline-fired counterparts. Accordingly, BMW articulated its new approach to developing high-performance engines as part of its EfficientDynamics initiative.

The new N55 is the first BMW inline-6 to combine turbocharging, High Precision direct fuel injection, and Valvetronic variable intake technology. It features a single, mid-sized turbocharger with a “twin-scroll” housing to boost performance and minimize the response lag. Thanks to its housing design which maintains proper separation between streams of exhaust gasses, the turbocharger builds up pressure much faster than previous-generation turbochargers, thus eliminating even the slightest tendency for lag.

2010 Subaru Impreza XV Crossover Car Performance

2010-03-18T05:13:00.000-07:00

The current generation Impreza is the best seller of any to date and we’re confident that Impreza XV will add to that success, given the earlier achievements of recreation-themed versions of the car.” said one of the Subaru executives.

2011 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept Car Performance

2010-03-18T03:55:00.000-07:00

2011 Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept Car Performance - The Porsche 918 Spyder is also the perfect answer to save-the-planet panic. The fact that the 718HP 918 Spyder hybrid is claimed to have emissions of only 70g/km – and remembering that the most ecological smart car with 54HP only manages 87g/km – must surely have the mini-Al-Gores choking on their Fairtrade Frappuccinos.

Such impressive statistics didn’t even require Porsche to paint the 918 Spyder eco-green, the solution adopted by their counterparts in Maranello. Certainly, it’s refreshing to imagine all the painfully ugly G-Wizs, complete with ‘you can’t sink a rainbow’ bumper-stickers, being replaced by gorgeous Spyders. It’s good to see that the world can be saved by Manolo Blahniks as well as by Birkenstocks.

2011 Porsche Cayenne Car Performance

2010-03-16T16:58:00.000-07:00

2011 Porsche Cayenne Car Performance - The entry-level Cayenne will be equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that develops 300 horsepower and is mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission.

2010-03-10T06:30:00.000-08:00

2012 Ford C-Max Car Performance Statistics - What is the C-Max? By North American standards, it's sort of a mini-minivan, complete with sliding rear doors. The version we'll be getting has three rows of seats in a 2-3-2 layout for a total capacity of seven (though I imagine that'll be a squeeze). But this is no minivan - the C-Max is based on the next-generation Euro-market Focus, which will also be coming to the States. Styling resembles the upcoming 2011 Fiesta, with twin trapezoidal grilles that are a Ford hallmark in Europe. No official word on powertrains, but it looks the C-Max will be available with Ford's 1.6 liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which uses direct fuel injection and a turbocharger to produce 180 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque -- similar to a small V6.

2009 Aston Martin Cygnet Car Performance Statistics

2010-02-28T15:46:00.000-08:00

2009 Aston Martin Cygnet Car Performance. In an embarrassingly desperate move by struggling supercar-maker Aston Martin, the Kuwaiti-owned British company has developed a new luxury commuter concept, dubbed the Cygnet. Named after a baby swan, the mini-car directly bases itself on the Euro-spec Toyota iQ, but with a slant towards more luxury.

The Cygnet concept “represents a creative, environmentally conscious solution, being small, yet with presence – and highly fuel efficient, now combined with the prestige of Aston Martin’s luxury brand ownership.”

While still in concept form, the Cygnet should not be mistaken for a joke. It is Aston Martin’s attempt to branch out beyond the realm of overpriced sports cars, much like Porsche, but in a completely different direction.

If it comes into production, it will compete with Mercedes-Benz’s Smart ForTwo and even BMW’s Mini, although it remains to be seen how many confused people there are who will pay top dollar for a redone Toyota iQ economy car.
