2011 Auto Show In Frankfurt
From the start the Oktoberfest, the biggest spectacle of the world car runs on September 25. The tension for the global economy, manufacturers concentrate on fuel economy.
Each year, just before the Oktoberfest in Germany, a bumper crop of new cars in the International Motor Show (also known as the Frankfurt Motor Show). Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and several kilowatts worth soaking gogo focus on their own ground. This is the beginning of a festival of a national week of technical innovations, the masterpieces of the automobile, and beer.Frankfurt Motor Show this year, however, was an American show when Ford announced the Ages, a concept car with butterfly doors. Even if the doors are just fantasy, for a show and not see a Ford in the near future, the overall shape of the car is probably a sign of things to come. A large part of the pilot could do it on the market soon as well. Evo is a plug-in hybrid, which suggests that Ford's management noticed a Toyota shows sales ready plug-in Prius PHEV (which debuted in Frankfurt, the concept of just two years ago) of the cabin. Plug-in for the Ages that could make inroads in the market at the same time.
Current product line of Ford benefits most from a turbocharger. For example. Cars like the new Focus ST (we can see in the U.S.) and Fiesta ST (which we could not, since the three-door version of the subcompact Ford are not sold Stateside) In addition to using turbos these traps heat was a new version of the famous race car Formula Ford. The race open-wheel is driven by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as the engine of the Fiesta. Ford also drew the curtain on a 1-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine that gets 45 mpg Fiesta. If this engine comes from America - which Ford has already suggested - expected to replace the Fiesta is naturally aspirated 1.6-liter and may also appear in Focus.
European Highlights
Jumping luxury, Jaguar has built a stunner written by Ian Callum. C-X16 (which will probably be called the XE when it comes to production) combines supercharged V-6 with a hybrid designed to improve strength. Touch of a button, this is Jag electric motor provides 94 hp boost for ten seconds, a kind of nitrogen bottle, as that does not require recharging. Away from the gimmickry, the hybrids are really becoming a sports car. Insert the card into position above the Jaguar XK sports line, the XE is designed for the BMW Z4 and Porsche Boxster / Cayman twins. XE is likely to be a hybrid, if only to justify the "E" in its name.
This would not have to Frankfurt without heavy doses of German cars. Porsche, the Stuttgart sports car überhaus, to develop a 911 hybrid, which should arrive in 2016. So far, the company's big news in Frankfurt was the last 911 (known to enthusiasts as Porsche 991). The larger (hybrid has agreed to somewhere), and lighter than the outgoing car, the new 911 is available with either manual gearbox Porsche PDK seven-speed automatic or manual.
Another big-dollar sports car makers cut to form ten years ago, when the power and performance were only the kings of the kingdom. Ferrari unveiled the convertible version of its mid-engine 458, while Lamborghini has continued to squeeze out sales of age with a special edition Gallardo.
Lamborghini Gallardo Special Edition
Introduction Gallardo in 2003 was a watershed moment in the history of the company, as well as the parent company, Volkswagen. Once known as Touring Cars elegant gave way to exotic alien typically outrageous Countach, Lamborghini has announced to play the market in a super fast, but reliable, Gallardo V-10.
Magnificent as it is, the model is now a little long in the tooth sharp, with a new version is not because a few years. Ergo, enter a hot rod version of the car in Frankfurt this year known as the Super Trofeo Stradale, which has a move worthy of carbon fiber wing, light-filled interior of Alcantara and carbon, and even fire-breathing 565 HP creatures Superleggera live in the company.
Lambo is tweaking is familiar to anyone for marketing moves from Aston Martin, Porsche and Ferrari in particular if the vehicles are iterations Challenge Stradale street machines still available series of the League of gentlemen races. Same with Richy Rich Stradale Trofeo drivers the chance to chase each other around famous tracks in the series Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racing. Or you can just run to the local mall and people freak out with a touch of a toe.
LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Road begins more than $ 200,000, and goes 199 mph. The company sells all 150 shares. More interesting, in the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese supercars has announced that it is building 20 units of Sixth Element, a super-lightweight machine powered by the Gallardo V-10 instead of the traditional top of the line V-12. Although pricing has not been announced, it is certainly in the millions, the figures bandied about range from $ 1.2 $ 2.7 million. What is interesting is not a rare sixth element, price or performance, it highlights and lightweight materials. We're big supporters of taking weight off the vehicle. And 'the only place that can match our enthusiasm for the performance of our desire for green values. Lighter cars require less energy to provide the same performance, the need for small brakes, wheels and tires, which will lead to a more agile, better road feel, and, of course, lower fuel consumption.
Small is big
Stablemates Lamborghini Volkswagen Group has taken lessons at the heart of lightness in the opposite direction. Audi unveiled the urban concept and Urban Concept Spyder, while Volkswagen has unveiled Nils concept that has nothing to do with the E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren. On the contrary, the three concepts are based Messerschmitt cabin "bubble cars" roll of the 1950s and '60s, built when the carrier was forbidden to build aircraft. With only 10 horses, Messerschmitt KR200 was standing at 56 km / h, due to the simplicity and the minimum mass. VW Group's products are simple, but far more complex in execution than the post-war Messer. This cycle wings Nils electric car is a car designed for urban travel. With a range of 40 miles, saves the KR200 is the maximum speed of 25 km / h, which is suitable for very short trips on the Autobahn, if necessary.
Boys Audi, Ingolstadt, has taken a similar approach to their brother in Wolfsburg - even if it is Audi, Concepts city offer up to a little luxury - that is, passenger space. The top speed is actually smaller than the Volkswagen to 62 mph, and the range is slightly lower, 35 miles. On the other hand, the Spyder version offers the promise of Mr. Speedster car park. More specifically - and realistically - the Audi also debuted the concept of e-A2. Made of aluminum and carbon fiber, A2, the battery is between the floor of the cabin and the platform. When the 124-km range, capable of A2, 93 mph, and can be fully rechargeable 240-volt connection for only four hours.
Audi has also introduced the S6, S7 and S8 performance four-door, which now are powered by a 4-liter twin-turbo V-8 cribbed from Bentley. Why BMW M cars and most of the brand AMG Benzes, all turbocharged small-displacement characteristic of eight, this is certainly a shock. S6 and S7 will receive 420-horsepower version of the engine, while the flagship S8 bulky receives an extra 100 ponies. The S also have the opportunity again to remove half the cylinders under light loads, as well as the stop-start is better than EKE mileage in stop-and-slide on a business trip. We see them every year on our shores.
Audi Urban Concept
What looks like a cross between a toy and children's cartoons such as open-wheel racer, the new Urban Concept Audi is once again unless you alt-fuel the war.
Shows small car - dubbed the 1 +1 because a passenger may be pressed to the right, and after the driver - not the mojo from 20 horses electric motor mounted on the rear wheels. Very light materials like carbon fiber and aluminum, as well as contributing to the weight of 1100 pounds and the vehicle is estimated in an area of 40 miles, not so much by American standards, but a lot commuting to all cus-maze and medium enterprises on -line of the city.
Two versions of the exercise design have been made - and the race was like Spyder - but officials insist the Urban Concept Audi will not build. On the contrary, as the concept takes AVUS aluminum chassis of the company's technology this car is tiny feathers that may influence the traditional models of Ingolstadt in the near future.
Ferrari 458 Spider
If there were any doubt that Ferrari has the brass wanted to make sure buyers know that the drop-top version of the scalpel, as the 458, Italy was not merely a boulevard (here's looking at you, the Ferrari California), the marketing people point hammered home by revealing the website of a brand new video. In the F1 hot shoe, Fernando Alonso, tears twisties outside is a yellow Ferrari 458 Spider, the wind ruffling their hair long.
Unveiling the new car in Frankfurt this week is in line with Ferrari tradition for a new coupe on the market for some 'time before giving a convertible bond with a candy fanatic. But this debut stands out: it is the first time in the middle of the bearing, rearing horse race mentality will boast a retractable aluminum hardtop, makeup before finding the front with California. To ensure that damage to the Sport 458 you feel flawless, improvements to maintain structural rigidity tweaks sound of the car has a powerful 570-horsepower V-8 makes a lot of audible, despite welcoming the new engine compartment layout which also contains the top. Breakneck speed, awesome grip and the sunshine after 14 seconds a click? Ferrari magic to live.
Back at the other side of the Maginot Line of the past, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the F125 concept. Op-Ed is a reflection on what might be like the S-Class in 2025, and has huge gullwing doors. Switzerland crazy Franco Sbarro has done for the 6.9L version of the S-Class back in the 70's, very strange in the sense: take Mercedes itself is a little less strange. The old 6.9, with its big block engine, weighed about 4,200 pounds. The current hybrid S400 weighs around 4500. The F125? £ 3750. S-Class is a car that weighs about the same size as last Audi RS 4. When the F125 is really interesting is their method of power generation and delivery. The luxury barge capabilities of the future of a wheel at each design an electric motor powered by lithium-sulfur battery two times more effective than current lithium-ion units.
Brand parents Microcar Daimler Mercedes, Smart, published Forvision concept - essentially a lighter version of the smart grid ED stranded for maximum efficiency of the battery diminutive runabout. Hop-ups include carbon fiber doors and the cage of the body, plastic wheels ready for production (!) And a photovoltaic generator on the roof to power the climate control system. Painting exterior and interior materials were selected to keep occupants cool on hot days and warm on cool days with minimum energy expenditure. Lighting of all outdoor lighting is now LED interior comes courtesy of OLEDs integrated into the roof.
While revealing a new series and the 3-series cars is the most immediate concern to the bottom line of BMW, the concept i3 is a window on the future of the Munich-based concern. The city is built on the new BMW LifeDrive electrical architecture, and as the name suggests clumsy compound, which consists of two distinct parts. "Life" is a piece of carbon fiber and thermoplastic carrier, while the "unit" component is an aluminum frame built especially to house an engine and an electric battery. In the case of i3, which is inserted in the ground plane, a concept of the Audi A2 above.
Although the i3 is a fully electric car, and appears as he launched a few years, is also a provision for two-cylinder range extender is probably derived from a plant of BMW motorcycles. Without it, par-for-the-course limited to 80-I3-100-miles in area. When the gasoline engine installed, it would be good for about 190 miles, at the expense of the already minimal cargo space.

Peugeot may have lagged behind the U.S. market in 80 years, but that does not mean that the French automaker in Frankfurt show-stopper is not worth watching. The HX1 is equipped with HYbrid4 technology company which consists of an electric motor driving the rear wheels, while a small efficient diesel engine fronts. Designed by Ford Evo, to highlight the language of the future design company, but also postulates that the next Executive Peugeot sedan might look like this - which is not very Sedan-like at all. Looks like a version of its competitor choptop Renault Avantime HX1 regretted that striking is a piece gee whiz, that makes us want French-style and flat-out crazy ever graced our roads. Peugeot also announced RXH 508, a large family car is also equipped with the powertrain HYbrid4 - provides 67.2 mpg European combined cycle - and will go on sale next year.

BMW joins Frankfurt I8 bridge the gap between performance and efficiency. As a follow-Vision EfficientDynamics concept shown in 2009, I8 concept of predicting the pattern of production planned for 2014. How i3 has an aluminum frame and carbon fiber and plastic in the cabin.
Unlike i3 is designed for plug-in hybrid - and the electric car with extender - 20 miles all-electric mode before the gasoline engine kicks HX1 as Peugeot, internal combustion gas engine powers a set of wheels, the electric energy to another. With the mission of sports cars, electric motor drives the front wheels, while the gasoline engine takes care of the back - the opposite approach to the Peugeot.
Reading Ford playbook, BMW has developed a three-cylinder turbo engine for i8 - but it is much more than the minimal range extension i3. Or, in fact, the 118 hp engine for service in the feast. The small 1.5-liter engine develops an impressive 220 hp. The power train 349 HP combined urges the i8 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds while providing real-world economy of 40 mpg combined. While the price has not been announced - and if the old series of eight Grand Tourer is any indication, will not come cheap - the i8 offers supercar performance in 1990 with energy efficiency in more efficient compact today.
