Doing Arts to Car

After a leak in a magazine published in Sweden, Volvo finally officially publish the estate variant of the S60, the V60. Taper curve is shown from the form of glass on the side, near the pillar-C provides a very sporty curves in a station wagon that emphasizes practicality.

Head of the exterior design of the Volvo, Orjan Sterner, said, “From the design standpoint, the focus is to make this car as close as possible with a coupe, with a permanent attempt to defend more space on the back. “Our sporty station wagon does not aim to compete with the conventional estate car,” he added. “For consumers who want a more spacious room, we have a V70.”

The rear seats can be folded with the composition of 40/20/40 and can be folded flat to the floor of the trunk. Without the seats folded, Volvo offers a capacity of 430 liters of luggage space. V60 engine will be offered in a choice of five petrol engines, ranging from engine to engine capacity of 1.6 liter inline six-cylinder 3.0-liter. While diesel engines there are three five-cylinder engine choices 2.4 and 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine and 1.6 liters. The car that will be introduced at the Paris Motor Show this coming end of September will also be equipped with the latest safety features. It features, among others, Pedestrian Detection, where the car will automatically brake at a speed of about 22 miles per hour to avoid the crash on the pedestrian if the driver does not react at all.

Ferrari manufacturer show that their California newest model, is more fuel efficiency. The Ferrari uses a technology that is called High Emotion Low Emissions (Hele), together with the original system of “stop / start”. The car was exhibited at the Paris Motor Show 2010 which took place today.

Actually, the technology is not pointing directly to save fuel consumption. The main target, is reducing CO2 emissions. But to reduce CO2, fuel consumption should be more economical. Hele has additional features or technology saves fuel. With technology, the system stop / start the Ferrari takes 230 milliseconds to start the engine. Therefore, do not change the pattern of driving this car. Features stop / start is specifically designed to facilitate the driver started the engine not only by lifting the foot from the brake pedal, as well as by stepping on the gas pedal (ideal for those who step on the brake with the left foot) or by increasing the tooth through the paddle-shift transmission.

Hele works like an electronic brain that perform various commands work on the components in the car. The cabin of air compressor (AC), fuel pumps, engine fan, and shift the transmission efficiency has been calculated in accordance with the driver’s driving style.

As a result, California’s CO2 emissions is reduced from 299g/km to 270 g / km or 23 percent. Even this system can provide an additional 25Nm of torque if it is necessary.
