Audi also gives with his A6 L E-Tron Concept at the Auto China in Beijing to honor. The Ingolstadt present study with this technique, its first plug-in hybrids of the upper class segment. Electric power alone, he should do it with the 95-hp electric motor for up to 80 kilometers. The lithium ion battery is liquid-cooled and is placed at the rear of the car to be protected by collisions.
Otherwise, he is assisted by a 2.0 TFSI, which again contributes 211 hp. For the longest range in the E-mode is a hybrid controller is responsible, which determines the most appropriate mode for each situation. This is then displayed in the cockpit with a power meter replaces the tachometer. The battery level is displayed one and also on the energy flow of the current operating mode, the driver informed.
The grille has been fitted with air vents closed. There is a special rear diffuser. The Audi A6 L E-Tron Concept rolls on 21-inch wheels. The four-seater is a huge monster 5.02 meters in length and has enough space inside. The seats are ventilated and equipped with massage functions and also the surround sound system clearly indicate on the luxury segment, including air conditioning with ioniser.
Maximum security is assured for the appropriate assistance systems. Thus, by the Actie Lane Assist, for example helping to keep the track and the AuSi Side Assist lane change helps. Pedestrians must feel safe in the dark, because there is a night view assist, which indicates further away passers-by. Of course, a parking assistant may not be missing and there are many possibilities of an accident can save an Audi Pre Sense.
Who would have thought. At Auto China in Beijing, Lamborghini in front of a SUV. Either you take out very well on the old principles of value, but it skillfully combines the properties of the segment. The concept car Urus (Latin for aurochs) is only at second glance, a Lamborghini, because even though you have tried the external appearance of largely brand and urgently, is the division SUV of course not necessarily suitable for the typical flat of Lamborghini.
Nevertheless, the Urus, a sports car with an output of 600 hp it is the usual claims from the Italian Lamborghini certainly live. Is less usual, however, the low CO2 emissions, the other vehicles in the drawer in the shade. Lightweight makes it possible .
The wheel vehicle has four seats and is in the design of ground clearance as well as with variable luggage compartment. With less than five meters, it measures in length, its width are 1.99 and 1.66 meters in height. Urus, the rolls on 24-inch wheels and features a front spoiler, you adjust the height. We obtain either an optimal protection from obstacles in the field or at the lowest position of support for stability, if one wants to drive him to the asphalt road to its limits. A deflector above the rear window provides in turn for the good conduction of the air stream to the adaptive rear spoiler. This one has much sympathy for the aerodynamics, Lamborghini is also reflected by the lack of side mirrors. Here, cameras are used, which transmit the driving behind the vehicle on two TFT screens in the cockpit.
Inside, carbon fiber elements are visible and behind the steering wheel is a lever only to find that which you can cycle through the gearbox with double clutch. Since the steering wheel is a multifunction steering wheel and center console is also a given, one can use here on the turn signal light and windshield wipers. The TFT screen behind the steering wheel is fully programmable and provides all necessary information. Using the touch screen on the center tunnel, the driver operates the navigation, for example, consumer electronics and air conditioning.
The Audi Q5 gets a facelift in the form of the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro now send the Ingolstadt brand in its first series of hybrids on the road. Here are the willing buyers to choose from five engines, the 2.0 TDI is the most efficient. This is available in two horsepower classes. Once with 143 horsepower, 5.3 liter diesel which will be consumed on average per hundred kilometers. Here is a manual transmission and front-wheel drive is given. The 177-hp version consumes 6.0 liters and is equipped with S tronic and quattro drive. Been joined, a 3.0 TDI with 245 hp, the V6 diesel, which will accelerate in 6.5 seconds from zero to one hundred. The border it reaches 225 km / h and consumes 6.4 liters on average a hundred kilometers.
Among the petrol engines for the Q5 hybrid quattro 2.0 TDI is the first option, where you can expect 225 hp. Who here is on hand consume an average of 7.6 liters. The 3.0 TFSI is a V6, which has a compressor supercharger. He brings 272 hp is reached in 5.9 seconds at 100 km / h and takes a top speed of 234 km / h Approximately 8.5 liters it is to consume, on average.
The Q5 hybrid quattro is equipped with a five-link front axle. The rear, a revised trapezoidal link suspension design used. For effective performance also contribute to revised springs, dampers and stabilizers as well as a new electro-mechanical power steering. Here the application depends on the speed to save energy. So it is for straight runs not in use. The Audi hybrid rolls on 17-inch aluminum wheels, and on request shall deliver 225 hp and 18 - or 20-inch model.
Inside, there are all sorts of controls and ergonomically designed components. In addition, the use of the media center MMI Navigation plus is limited to four keys, with the volume control is now fitted with a skip function. The functions of the seat heating, air conditioning (three zones) and of the dynamics system Audi drive select and the multifunction steering wheel were refined. Looking up, you can admire the panoramic glass roof.
If that does not bode times: after days of storms and rains, the Mallorcan sky cleared as we arrived and the sun made this November once again properly tag summery. Perfect conditions for an intensive island-tour with the new Opel Astra GTC.
The Astra GTC sees itself as an independent sport compact cars in the Opel family. And at first glance, he knows quite uncomfortable with dynamic design elements, striking lines and a really successful rims offer (with sizes up to 20 inches) to the viewer show gleichmal the proverbial teeth - in short, except for the housing of the mirrors and the antenna does not comply a body part to another Astra model. And this is probably also deliberately been made, since the conventional Astra yes unfortunately sometimes as "Opi-cart" is stigmatized - even if the current model certainly knocked off the old image considerably. But before it can go, it must first carry-on baggage is stowed in the trunk, which is not so easy is how you get on the trunk? Ahh ... a short press on the Opel lightning reveals the secret!
Well, it goes directly from the airport on the highway to the north. Our test car is equipped with the most powerful diesel engine with 2.0 liter displacement and 121 kW (165 hp). Except for the entry-way, all Astra models come standard with a six-speed manual transmission. So far so good, you roll comfortably over the Mallorcan highway, when suddenly an alarm sounds. Hmm, what is it? Ah, the track assistant, as the newest feature of the front camera "Opel Eye" is on board. He warns when crossing the road with a warning label. Is it in similar form at Mercedes and to warn of dangerous especially when falling asleep in front of an encounter with the guard rail. In the self-test proved to be an intuitive alert system on the whole to be quite reliable. Deliberate crossing the road marking has been identified and therefore no warning sounded.
In this model, the chassis will be offered assistance system FlexRide, which offers the driver a choice between the driving modes, "Sport" and "tour", respectively, to choose neither. For the leisurely drive on the highway is first "tour" is selected, which brings us closer to 130-140 km / h and average consumption of 5-6 liters / 100 km in order to: Cape Formentor - the last part of the tour will exciting, because it goes into the mountains. For the switchbacks, we select the driving mode "sport" - and not just the instrument display now shines in a sporty red, no throttle response is also sportier and there is a general feeling that the car responds to steering movements directly. Here, the 380 Newton meters show the diesel unit, what they can. The acceleration out of tight cornering is fun, which is mainly due to the new chassis.
Later we learn that Opel's engineers have spent a lot of time on the test track in order to optimize the chassis of the Astra GTC, so that the many new technological innovations in harmony with each other properly. Speaking of innovations in the chassis. Because the Astra will be built on a completely new platform, one could put in comparison with the standard Astra GTC, the deep by 15 mm and widen the wheelbase by 10 mm and the track by 40 mm (front) and 30mm (rear) . Moreover, even an electronically controlled, speed-sensitive rack and pinion steering is used. In conjunction with new technology in the suspension, the Astra GTC now boasts a more direct steering response and generally better handling than its predecessor. As the latest automotive tech-concept at this point would be "HiPerStrut front suspension" to call that comes in the Insignia OPC is used in the Astra and now includes as standard equipment. In order to give the driver precise feedback, the electric motor is mounted directly on the rack and not as usual at the bottom of the steering column.
At the end of the day we can again examine the interior. As with all current Opel models also have the Astra GTC, material selection and processing re quality. Among many applications in brushed aluminum-look especially the subtle backlighting to know in the door trim and gear lever on the faucet to like it. Characteristic also is standard and the steering wheel. For the Astra one can choose the Edition models and innovation in a variety of new fabrics, colors and patterns. The color combinations Imola Red / Morrocana, or Imola Black, Black / Morrocana, black for the seat center sections and side panels blend well with the decor strips in the piano-style. In addition, another leather interiors called "Dinamica Black" will be available.
From mid-January 2012, the Opel Astra GTC is rolling out to dealers. For the basic model with 1.4-liter petrol and 100 hp € 19,900 are due to launch the first diesel engine only, the common-rail turbo-diesel 2.0 CDTI with 121 kW/165 hp, will be available from € 25,055.
Parallel to the AMI in Leipzig will be new Citroen C4 Aircross SUV on 02.06.2012 in the market. The Citroen C4 Aircross builds on the technology of the Mitsubishi ASX on - after all, come and design of small diesel with 115 hp from a French pen.
When Citroen C4 Aircross tried with success, the symbiosis of the design of an SUV with a sedan. At the front is on the wide grille that sets the angle of the double mark in the limelight. The front end is accentuated by horizontal lines and side vents, and underscores its compactness. The modeling of the hood, the enlarged wheel arches and short overhangs convey the impression of robustness. In the side mirror turn signals are integrated, the tail lights are equipped with light bars, and the reversing camera fits in the chrome strip on the tailgate. The shark fin is adorned with a chrome-plated compass rose, which belongs to the C4 Aircross SUV family to underline the brand. The rear lights are from the C4 sedan and the Hypnos concept car inspired.
The Citroen C4 Aircross is available with either a variable all-wheel drive. This enables optimal torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. The system is compact and lightweight and will also reduce the use of an oil with low viscosity in the transfer case fuel consumption. The propulsion system "à la carte", the driver, depending on the driving situation manually select one of three driving modes 4WD, 2WD and lock means of a knob behind the gearshift. The mode "Lock" provides maximum traction by 50 percent of the torque is transmitted to the rear wheels. The two-wheel mode (2WD) minimizes fuel consumption by only the front wheels are driven.
The HDi engine 115 is offered in conjunction with a six-speed manual transmission, both in a 2WD version and four-wheel drive. This engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters delivers an output of 115 hp. The maximum torque of 270 Nm (up to 280 Nm with the "overboost") is from 1750 rev / min available. The C4 is Aircross from launch with the HDi 150 diesel engine available. The 1.6i petrol engine 115 is offered as a 2WD version with a five-speed manual transmission. The engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters equipped with two front camshafts, 16 valves and a system for continuously variable control. It combines an output of 115 horsepower with emissions of 135 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
During the trip were the two diesel units, both as a pleasing elasticity. The big diesel also allows acceleration at low engine speed range. This is a small diesel noticeably heavier, but its elasticity is in the acceptable range.
The C4 Aircross is equipped with Stop & Start. In addition, an electronically controlled generator is for energy recovery during braking and deceleration and the electronic power steering that only uses energy when the steering wheel is moved.
With compact size, the Aircross a very spacious interior, where four adults can survive longer rides comfortably. With its five seats and a boot capacity of 442 liters, it also fulfills an important everyday needs. Its rear seat is split and provided with a through-loading feature. When additional cargo space is needed, the rear seats are folded down easily.
The Citroen C4 offers Aircross his driver a higher seating position and thus a very good all round visibility. The driving position is ergonomically positioned, the instruments are easy to use. The driver has a height and length adjustable leather steering wheel, the audio features, the speed controller and the headset can be used directly.
Optionally, the C4 Aircross be equipped with a panoramic glass roof with UV protection and an electric sun blind with sequential control, which creates a comfortable level in the interior. In bright sunlight, it is always advisable to use the shading, otherwise there is the air conditioning to their limits. At night give dimmable, amber integrated into the headliner LED lights to the panoramic glass roof, a pleasant atmosphere.
The Citroen C4 Aircross features an optional GPS navigation system, equipped with a 7-inch touch screen and hard drive. A rear view camera that is connected with the navigation system facilitates the maneuvering and parking.
To ensure the safety of seven airbags: driver and a passenger airbag deactivating one, two side airbags, dual front and rear head curtain airbags and a knee airbag for the driver.
It all starts at 23 690 euros for a small 1.6-liter gasoline engine.
With a large and terminating in a long time ago now lift system, the Toyota Prius is considered. Visually hand here and there has been created: one profilierteres exterior design, refined interior quality and new instruments. Basically, the offer was revised and the multimedia and navigation systems.
Comes from the basic version in the new Toyota Prius has been a standard 2012er The "Toyota Touch" system with six speakers are used. This radio / audio system with CD/MP3 player features a 6.1-inch touch screen color monitor. On it, among other things, the energy flow of the hybrid system are shown.
Phone handsfree and audio streaming via Bluetooth, a USB port and a rearview camera are also standard equipment. For 550 €, it can be extended by the navigation function to "Toyota Touch & Go". The map of Europe will be optionally displayed in 2D or 3D. The destination for the dynamic routing can be done by entering addresses directly from your mobile phone address book, or if an online-enabled mobile phone is connected, via Google Local Search can be made from the Google Maps database. If a PC is used for travel planning, then the target data via Google Send-to-Car will be sent to the vehicle. The variable speed limit display with visual and audible speed warning prevents unpleasant mail from Flensburg. In the future, can be found by means of optional apps in addition to the weather forecast and the least expensive of the surrounding gas stations or the free parking garage.
For 950 € extra charge there is the option "Toyota Touch & Go Plus", it has a voice control for destination entry, navigation control, search for songs or contacts from the phonebook of the phone. Even e-mail reception and transmission is not possible, with the text-to-speech voice output to the driver, the contents read out on demand. The USB interface now allows the display of photos or video playback. The map data and the software can be updated at the Touch & Go plus three years for free.
The Prius comes standard executive not only a multimedia navigation system but also about the "Toyota Touch". The high-resolution 7-inch touch screen displays all relevant information for navigation, audio system and climate control. In addition to the system provides an automatic map zoom at intersections, an online search for "Points of Interest" and the transmission of navigation instructions to the head-up display. The system provides access to SMS and e-mails that can be read via the "Text to Speech" technology. The standard scope also includes a reversing camera with dynamic leadership markings.
From 21 April 2012, the Toyota Prius in the fresh trade is ordered. The price of the 2012er-generation model starting at € 26 500.
Today, then the message that Audi will unveil at the Auto China 2012, a study of its small sporty SUV's Q3 - first prototype had already been in use. Key figures: 360 horsepower, the well-known among others from the Audi RS3 and slightly pimped 2.5-liter 5-cylinder TFSI delivers. Acceleration from zero to sixty miles in 5.2 seconds. A 265 km / h faster, relatively high-Build 1.6-tonne small car - a car for a niche.
Audi's PR statement, the Audi Q3 Concept RS was a "vibrant vitality of theme vehicle" may be justly doubted of driver-relevant aspects, going beyond an exclusive viewing of the longitudinal dynamic characteristics. It's just always been a matter of relative Betrachtunsgweise: compact to sporty and ambitious drivers with a penchant might find in an SUV's Q3 like maybe their souls. Next to the appropriate engine for a 25-millimeter lowered, provide sharper designed carbon-plastic composites (CFRP) for visual appreciation and the quattro all-wheel drive in conjunction with a seven-speed S tronic. Evil tongues say, the quattro drive system is a sham, he leads as a rule, the drive but "almost exclusively on the front wheels." Here, Audi has apparently decided once more against the vaunted "thrilling dynamism" in favor of increased security. What is perfectly legitimate, of course.
The exterior mirror housings are made of black CFRP strips revolve in matt aluminum side window. The roof spoiler is long back, its average over the outer segment is slightly shortened. The diffuser insert at the rear, which integrates the two tailpipes in typical RS-look is pulled way up. Here too, the Audi designers chose a combination of blue and black glazed CFRP.
The alloy wheels of the Audi Q3 Concept RS set RS continued the dynamic Q-design undkommen in size 8.5 J x 20 Your front is polished, the edges are sanded. The tire size 255/30 is not typical for an SUV, but for the RS model.
Price, the production version of the Audi Q3 will most definitely like this much beyond the 40,000 - 45,000 euros settle. Real Fahrdynamiker know about this course, there are quite dynamic driving alternatives ...
On 21 April 2012 is to far for the Land Cruiser V8 from Toyota. This learned in the course of the market and can start a complete overhaul both visually and technically score with many innovations. Used a 4461 cc turbo diesel comes with eight cylinders and a six-step automatic transmission. The engine produces 272 hp and is equipped with a particulate filter, so that it meets the Euro 5 emissions standard.
As a special equipment item can be considered the turning assistant who has been integrated into the five-level terrain-dependent speed control system. Thus is possible even on uneven terrain, a constant pace. The turning circle is reduced since the turn-Wizard automatically brakes the appropriate wheel when the steering direction pending tight corners.
Even the basic version you can now look forward to the multi-terrain-select system, wherein there is a further development of A-TRC, the traction control system. The driver can choose between four modes of operation, which he can adapt to the respective surface. A multi-terrain monitor in the cockpit is to be had from Executive version, with four cameras capture the environment.
As an off-roader gets the Land Cruiser V8 large bumpers and fog lamps integrated. The grille has been revised and are chrome horizontal struts also. The equipment also includes LED daytime running lights and bi-xenon headlights.
able to find a new instrument panel, which offers a large multi-information display. For driver and front passenger are leather seats with memory function and seat heating and ventilation. The navigation system Toyota Touch Pro is also included. From € 74 500 to the Toyota Land Cruiser V8 will be sold.
What is already known, Mercedes-Benz intends to present a 4-door coupe, which is the new A-Class has as its basis. There was talk of a "CLA", they quote Dr. Dieter Zetsche at a factory opening in Hungary. Here, namely the car in the third quarter of this year will go into production. The first customers to take their copy then in the first quarter of next year in reception, so the plan. According to reports, one can already do at the Auto China 2012 in the form of a first impression of a study. If anything, you can bet on an event in Los Angeles, they say.
It is rumored that the little "CLA" from cost about 28,000 euros. Nothing is official who had been selected, it also one of the engines, although there is speculation about a 1.6 four-cylinder gasoline engine with 122 horsepower and a 2.0 or 2.2 liter petrol engine. In the diesel line-up, it is estimated that as CLA 180 CDI (190 hp) or CLA 220 CDI (170 hp) could be sold.
From the new G63 AMG, now it is the first official pictures. On the US-American press site of Mercedes-Benz they were published recently. This is especially the grille of the new AMG version of the G-Class. This is provided with a double blade. There are also new bumpers and air intakes, the sting is no less striking. The G63 AMG rolls on 20-inch wheels and is equipped with red brake calipers.
As standard, it will probably give the ECO start-stop and for now the label is unmistakable, which indicates a V8er Biturbo with 544 hp. This reaches a torque of 760 Newton meters. If that's not enough, you should rely on a V12 Biturbo to the 612 hp and 1000 Nm of torque. Such a powerful off-roader has seen the world yet, at least not in series.
Pricing is also already there, so you have to expect in Germany, probably with 137 504 euros and 50 cents if you want to dig up the G63 AMG his fields. The G65 AMG will be traded at € 264 180.
The US - American professionals from AMS Performance tuning set a record after the other and send the Nissan GT-R Alpha Omega now in 8.62 seconds on the quarter-mile of the Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado. The opponents of SwitzerPerformance is going to something more modest, but still have the in E1K renamed GT-R, at least in 9.66 by said asphalt terrain.
A more subtle engine does not mean that Switzer has not accepted the basic V6 BiTurbo Ver. Without further ado, you have the wheel vehicle and ethanol-enabled, with the bio-fuel will be detected automatically. With a torque of 1355 Nm can be put on quitea few laurels. However, it remains open whether the transmission deal with such violencecan be long, although it has been strengthened. The following video gives a better idea:
The engineers at Toyota FT-Bh set with the radical new ways. Not only the design offers a new character traits, but is remarkable, especially the low consumption. In the lightweight trend is also Toyota is not out of line and so it brings the hybrids to less than 800 kilograms. The CO2 emissions will amount to only 49 g / km and not more than 2.1 liters will be cut in the coming hundred kilometers. So here is clearly very important efficiency. Still, there is the Toyota FT-Bh to a study, but they could be sold in 2015 in series.
Lightweight and aerodynamic lines are crucial for a low fuel consumption, which was developed by the Toyota designers clearly put a top priority. At the front end shows itself, rather deep-seated and large grille. The lights go on in the Kotfügel and by and large, the design looks very strange, a little, as yet undiscovered deep sea fish remembering. The transition to the rear is smooth. Is rolled to 145/55 R18 tires, and (of course) light alloy wheels. They are characterized by low rolling resistance and thus allow a reduction in driving resistance. The grip will still be given.
With striking air inlets at the front and a corresponding aerodynamic styling has been very consistently taken into account. Toyota drives the fun even if that one does without side mirrors, which, of course, no matter how small, as sailing ears tackle a favorable air current. Here were quickly installed cameras. And even on the door handles are omitted and instead a solution by which the doors are unlocked electrically.
Interesting study on the development we must be very excited!
Jaguars will try to offer a roadster, and thus a fourth model. It is assumed that the F-Type will be sent in the middle of next year on the roads. In appearance, the study should serve as a model C-X16, which one might last autumn at the IAA in Frankfurt marvel.
In the Jaguar F-Type, new gasoline engines will be installed which are supported by an aluminum monocoque chassis. On public roads is reportedly already testing the first prototypes of the technology. From the Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant to send out the first pre-production and the production of the F-Type will go here next year vonstatten.
Later this year, Jaguar will announce more details on the technology and equipment of the new model.
According to reports, it is due in November, a small series of R8 e-tron type of Audi. It is not clear yet whether the electric car can only be leased or offered for sale. New details on the electric R8 first shadow cast on a really interesting vehicle ...
Audi built in such way, according to the new e-tron fiberglass coil springs for the first time in the R8. Next year they will also come in different models of the Middle and Upper Class. This is already getesten diligently. The difference from normal steel springs shown in the fiberglass springs with a lower weight. Because instead of just 2.66 kilos 1.53 kilos this one, saving about 40 percent. The positive attributes, however will still remain, says Audi developer Joachim Schmitt.
The lithium-ion batteries weigh a whopping 550 kilos. The fact remains that the electronically powered Audi R8 e-tron as a whole only on an empty weight of 1,695 kilograms,. Lightweight design is very trendy, even at Audi. Two electric motors drive the R8 e-tron, and bring him in 4.8 seconds from 0 - 100 km / h In favor of a longer range is 200 km / h Closing.
In a few days there will be on display at the auto show in Beijing, the BMW Concept i8 Spyder. This offer her third Munich BMW i-electric model, a plug-in hybrid, which makes 354 hp and one-on reaches 250 km / h limited top speed. In just five seconds, according to BMW with the study vehicle from zero to one hundred. This value is the stated consumption of only three liters per hundred kilometers of such a range of quite considerable.
The electric motor on the front axle alone makes 131 hp. He has a range of up to 30 kilometers on its own. Less than two hours should be required to the lithium ion battery recharge. Rear features a petrol engine with three cylinders and 223 hp for the driving charge. Overall, the two units come to a torque of 550 Nm. The pilots, two different modes to choose from, an Eco-mode and a sport.
The basis for the Spyder put it, a year ago, BMW presented 2 +2 Coupé Concept i8. This will go into series production in 2014 even. When Spyder the wheelbase has been shortened slightly and there are stylish swinging doors and a rear glass. When it gets rainy times is to provide a folding roof in two parts for the necessary protection.
Otherwise, the two-seater is characterized by several features. For example, you can display with a smartphone, any nearby charging stations, according to the pre-program load time and call up the current state of charge. The preheating of the interior is also possible. The journey planning using navigation data is very extensive and is available when needed even public transport and the parking situation with a.
Peugeot has apparently made it his task to make the new 208 for bestsellers. Following the press launch this week, you can order it now. The first reviews are at least been quite positive. Now the French plan also includes 208 well-branch as a convertible and SUV, which indeed is not inconceivable.
Currently you can order the new Peugeot 208 at the dealers, where you can choose between five gasoline and three diesel engines. As a beginner with a small gasoline engine gets the Peugeot 208 to 14 800 € for time. That will change however, as early as June and September are joined by two petrol engines, which are associated with lower purchase prices. First, a 1.0-liter engine with 68 hp (11,600 €) and the second a 1.2-liter with 82 PS (14 150 €). For 18 700 € you can get from September, the top model with 156 horsepower.
The choice between a 95 and a 120 hp petrol engine you have now. In addition, three diesel engines come with 68, 92 and 115 hp 13600-19300 €. Should there be a convertible and an SUV-offshoot, one must reckon with a good price from 17,000 €. Take place if and when the market has been followed by Peugeot unfortunately not yet confirmed officially.
The British Autocar reports that Ferrari currently developing a 12-cylinder hybrid engine. In a production vehicle, it has not yet announced anything yet and also because of the sporting Leistungsbestrebung, the Ferrari has finally tradition, one would have thought a step in this direction unlikely.
But there are other motivations in favor of a lower CO2 emissions. The EU limits, for example, where you can meet and therefore will avoid penalties. A win-win situation?
We remember: The 599 GTB Ferrari introduced a hybrid before and competitors such as Lamborghini and Porsche are currently developing in similar solutions. While there is little information so far from Lamborghini on similar efforts, you sit at Porsche already on their homework. But hear sounds: CEO Amedeo Felisa, Ferrari From it should have even been given expressions that even hybrid drives could be standard on all models. At least he could imagine.
Ferrari will probably introduce its first hybrid with the successor to the Enzo. Such statements by the manager himself also suggest that with the development is already very far. We are curious if there will be a hybrid sports car future!
