Mitsubishi Pajero - Test Car Diary


Previously had to be learned but a few properties as "SUV" - the Pajero-test car leaving me at the end of this week - unfortunately.


For some photos of the Pajero has a steep slope at the same time trying and was able to show what effect the differences in the attitudes of the four-wheel drive. Where to stay stuck in classic mode with 4-wheel-spinning wheels, the Pajero in 4LC locked rear axle and loose digs up the slope.

The photos and the report of driving off-roader I come later - for now there is only one photo with a special character and symbol-dedication:

Skoda Citigo as a Rally Trial


In the GTI meet at Wörthersee could admire the Skoda rally Citigo already. The unanimous opinion: The study is increasingly sporty! The Czechs have with the small car racer in the sense in particular, to demonstrate the potential that lies within him. Nevertheless, there are also a rich segment of the competition. 


The sports study focuses more on the appearance, say, you fall with broad wings, a distinctive front and rear skirts and oversized roof spoiler. The alloy wheels are 18 inches tall and a fat pipe (centrally positioned) should not be missed. Also hood and roof were changed. 

To date there are more not to say about the rally Citigo with the performance would of course interesting. But Skoda has in this regard with information back yet. For a true sport compact car would have ran but a few more than the 75 hp version of the series.

Porsche 918 Spyder Prototype spotted on track


Porsche sends its plug-in hybrid for the first time on the track! The prototypes are still under the guise of Porsche's racing icon 917, therefore, are now the first signs of the final version of the 918 Spyder and promise lots of high-tech and maximum performance with minimum consumption.


The internal combustion engine with two independent power units, one brings to the front axle and one for the rear wheels, a maximum of 770 HP on the street. According to preliminary data should cover the 918 Spyder from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds and break the 300 km / h speed limit with no problems. And the fuel consumption ranging from 3.0 liters per 100 kilometers will be.

In September 2013, the super sports car will come on the market. But this one has to dig deep into their pockets: 770.000 € for the 918 Spyder probably beat to book.
