Present generation BMW of a 3-series is issued since 2005. Though this German sedan language will not turn to name old, its updated version which has appeared this year, allows to assume, as its follower will look. In 2012 there should be next, the sixth under the account, generation of a 3-series from BMW, and visitors of Swedish site Tekniken Svarld have collectively created an image of the future car, taking for a basis known concept CS. On these sketches the car has more accurate contours, unlike modern updating thanks to what the beginner seems to wider. This phenomenon can be connected also with application in a design of the special technology also used by manufacture of cars of a 7-series. Though appearance of the car on the image is disputable, we are absolutely assured that company BMW will intensively use the harmless technology under name Efficient Dynamics. Except other, engines of a new 3-series can lose some cylinders in exchange for the preestablished turbo-supercharging.
Are the Ariel Atom V8 and Caterham Seven RS not fast enough for you? Well, you’re crazy, but we might have the answer for you.
A relatively unknown Spanish company called Tramontana has developed a monster. They took a Mercedes-sourced twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 producing 720 horsepower and placed it in a completely carbon fiber chassis, then covered it in a body made completely from…you got it…carbon fiber. I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in…
Alright, we have a huge 720 horsepower, engine sitting in a frame that weighs as much as a shoe. The total weight of the car is actually rather high for its size, however, at 2,795 lbs. I’m sure most of that is the engine. Even the 20-inch wheels are made from carbon fiber (and magnesium) to keep weight down.
Now, that actual performance numbers aren’t quite what I expected. According to Tramontana, the 0-62 mph time of the car is 3.6 seconds, and the top speed is 201 mph. While these numbers are generally very fast, I admit I did expect faster times than that, considering the power-to-weight ratio is insanely high.
Lumma Design prepared a special tuning package for the BMW X6 and they are going to unveil the new BMW CLR X 650 GT at the Geneva Motor Show that starts next week. A lot of BMW Tuners tried to add their stylish touch to the popular BMW X6 and Lumma Design wanted to make their own version of this car. The BMW X6 received a lot of new body elements which improve the car’s aerodynamics like a new front bumper with a carbon fiber lip spoiler, wide fenders and side skirts, a new rear bumper and a carbon fiber rear wing. BMW magazine also wrote about the previous BMW X6 kit from Lumma but the new car looks better than the old version. The car’s roof was painted with a black matte color and the car received a set of 23〃 bi-color alloy wheels equipped with high performance tires sized 315/25-23.
With the advent of new model Z4 company BMW at last has filled a blank in modelling to a number. The car has turned out not so big, and decently differs from the predecessor Z3. Probably, it is possible to tell that the novelty will make a direct competition to such models, as small easy Mazda MX5. It is rumored that the company has so taken a great interest in a pursuit of small weight, and now works on model Z2 which should become one of the most easiest cars in the market. Tiny roadster Z2 will be constructed on modified platform Z4, and, unlike the big brother, than 2 l will be equipped with 4-cylinder engines with the maximum volume no more. 1,8 l the engine capacity of 150 h.p. whereas the M-version can be completed turbo motor capacity about 300 h.p. become base. Model Z2 will borrow all most newest technologies developed in BMW during the last years, including system of an active steering, a transmission with two couplings and an active suspension bracket. Cost of the new car will make nearby $30 000. The official debut of model will take place in the end of 2010 next years, and start sales in 2011.
The F700 engine powered by Mercedes'; DiesOtto engine, so called because it combines elements of diesel and petrol (Otto cycle).
