Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2011

Last year Aston Martin V12 Vantage has been released, but was banned for sale in the United States. Aston follow the American concept of time be respected. Retrieve bodyshell your most compact, honkin 'machines. This is called the musclecar. Of course, the interpretation of the theme musclecar Aston somewhat more polite, sophisticated and aristocratic than, say, a '70 Chevy Chevelle SS454.

Initially created for the entire world, the front end of a very solid car with the engine that there is no room for the structures necessary to meet U.S. crash regulations. In a barrier impact speed is needed, note the doll's chest deceleration rate limits.

The engineers had to think hard to meet customer needs. Analysis and computer models show a location where some additional aluminum longitudinal member can be installed to change the path and soften the burden of slowing. It tested well, and this car is the result. Extra weight is not significant. And the performance, handling and styling mods are not affected by the accident.

The V12 engine is a 5.9-liter, 510 horsepower kick, enough to zero time-to-60mph is claimed at 4.1 seconds. M / T has not tested for zero-to-60 on our paradigm. Transmission is rear-mounted six-speed manual, although an optional full AMT and automatically appear in other Astons. The Vantage V12 keep things relatively simple: none of the adaptive dampers from DBS, there is no choice of transmission, not a lot of menu-driven.

Spesification 2010 Acura RDX 2WD

Unsaddled by Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, the front-drive RDX is more fuel efficient, faster, and less expensive. It's not decontented, mind you: Standard goodies new for 2010 include a rearview camera, electronic compass, auto-headlights, ambient footwell lighting, USB-connectivity, and Bluetooth with audio capabilities.

RDX was no slouch even with the added drivetrain mass, likened it to the Evo of crossovers when we said goodbye. Acura's SH-AWD is impressive; through planetary gearsets and electromagnetic clutch packs, it's capable of overdriving the outside rear wheel to create yaw, which reduces understeer. The downside is the roughly 200 pounds it adds to the curb weight. Without it, the RDX's fuel economy rises 2 mpg, up to 19/24 mpg city/highway. It's livelier on its MacPherson front and multilink rear suspension too.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global satellite navigation system that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at any time and anywhere on or near the earth where there is unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The system was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).

The GPS consists of three parts: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space, which each GPS receiver uses to calculate its three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the current time.

GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching and waymarking. The precise time reference provided by GPS is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes and as a time synchronization source for cellular network protocols.

The design of GPS is based partly on similar ground-based radio navigation systems, such as LORAN and the Decca Navigator developed in the early 1940s, and used during World War II. In 1956 Friedwardt Winterberg proposed a test of general relativity using accurate atomic clocks placed in orbit in artificial satellites. To achieve accuracy requirements, GPS uses principles of general relativity to correct the satellites' atomic clocks. Additional inspiration for the GPS came when the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik in 1957. A team of U.S. scientists led by Dr. Richard B. Kershner were monitoring Sputnik's radio transmissions. They discovered that, because of the Doppler effect, the frequency of the signal being transmitted by Sputnik was higher as the satellite approached, and lower as it continued away from them. They realized that since they knew their exact location on the globe, they could pinpoint where the satellite was along its orbit by measuring the Doppler distortion.

Modernization

In 1972, the U.S. Air Force Central Inertial Guidance Test Facility (Holloman AFB), conducted developmental flight tests of two prototype GPS receivers over White Sands Missile Range, using ground-based pseudo-satellites.
In 1978, the first experimental Block-I GPS satellite was launched.
In 1983, after Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down the civilian airliner KAL 007 that strayed into prohibited airspace due to navigational errors, killing all 269 people on board, U.S. President Ronald Reagan announced that the GPS would be made available for civilian uses once it was completed.
By 1985, ten more experimental Block-I satellites had been launched to validate the concept.
On February 14, 1989, the first modern Block-II satellite was launched.
In 1992, the 2nd Space Wing, which originally managed the system, was de-activated and replaced by the 50th Space Wing.
By December 1993, the GPS achieved initial operational capability.
By January 17, 1994 a complete constellation of 24 satellites was in orbit.
Full Operational Capability was declared by NAVSTAR in April 1995.
In 1996, recognizing the importance of GPS to civilian users as well as military users, U.S. President Bill Clinton issued a policy directive declaring GPS to be a dual-use system and establishing an Interagency GPS Executive Board to manage it as a national asset.
In 1998, U.S. Vice President Al Gore announced plans to upgrade GPS with two new civilian signals for enhanced user accuracy and reliability, particularly with respect to aviation safety and in 2000 the U.S. Congress authorized the effort, referring to it as GPS III.
In 1998, GPS technology was inducted into the Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame.
On May 2, 2000 "Selective Availability" was discontinued as a result of the 1996 executive order, allowing users to receive a non-degraded signal globally.
In 2004, the United States Government signed an agreement with the European Community establishing cooperation related to GPS and Europe's planned Galileo system.
In 2004, U.S. President George W. Bush updated the national policy and replaced the executive board with the National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing.
November 2004, QUALCOMM announced successful tests of assisted GPS for mobile phones.
In 2005, the first modernized GPS satellite was launched and began transmitting a second civilian signal (L2C) for enhanced user performance.
On September 14, 2007, the aging mainframe-based Ground Segment Control System was transitioned to the new Architecture Evolution Plan.
The most recent launch was on May 28, 2010.[19] The oldest GPS satellite still in operation was launched on November 26, 1990, and became operational on December 10, 1990.
On May 19, 2009, the U. S. Government Accountability Office issued a report warning that some GPS satellites could fail as soon as 2010.
On May 21, 2009, the Air Force Space Command allayed fears of GPS failure saying "There's only a small risk we will not continue to exceed our performance standard.

MODIFIKASI MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION 8 GSR

MODIFIKASI MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 GSR which you see now is not just a car that could only be enjoyed on weekends only. But more than that, because its owner, Ebel, risking his Evo 8 to compete in the drag race event. Thus, tuning is done starting all out. "But this car can cave touring racing settings," open Ebel, who is also frontman Motorsport Wisesa this workshop.

These differences in the two races made it impossible to re-think to rebuild the compound with the event in order to compete on a straight track racing. Okay, as an illustration of the seriousness of Ebel, no one else untouched sector of skilled hands. But it is the main focus in the kitchen there are changes as power generation pacemakers. Although only be used for speeding on a straight track, congenital 4G63T engine should be given therapy in order to produce their best performance.

"Target translucent cave above 500 dk," said Ebel. Energy targets for change that it surely requires not merely replace the turbo and then optimized with the engine computer upgrade, more than that. Because at this stage is not only powerful, but must also be able to excel records the shortest possible time. Capacity of only 2,000 cc engine that is still considered low, especially for the torque that is able to produce before the turbo spooling at max. No other way, options stroker kit installed soon. The result? pulley any engine capacity up to 2300 cc stroker kit through the use of AMS. It was donated from the long handlebar piston reaches 156 mm and the dimensions of crutches as up to 100 mm.

In the hands of the DC Sports EVO X changed like a road racing car. He not only more athletic, but also too arrogant. Various series body kit C-West alerts affixed on the exterior. The most prominent front bumper that would arise with a large air gap.

The S-AWC system, the which regulates torque and braking at EACH wheel includes a bevy of acronyms: ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Center Differential), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and Sport ABS, an ABS system Designed for aggressive driving. The Biggest difference over the outgoing car is the large number of yaw sensors included in the system, all Designed to keep the Evo X on its intended path.

The S-AWC system, cans be set for three different road surfaces: tarmac (standard), ice and gravel
In addition, the DC Sports Exhaust System also installs its own for EVO X roar more highly than the manufacturer's version. Even dyno tuned the digebah HBSpeed join the increasingly wild promising performance.

The Twin Clutch SST on the MR appears similar to the Audi / VW 's DSG system; even and odd gears are on separate clutches for the rapid-fire shifting, and no torque loss Between gears. Shifting of the TC-SST is controlled by alloy paddles on the steering wheel or the gear shift lever in manual mode Pls, and by the engine computer in automatic mode. The system has three modes: Normal, Sport and S-Sport, the latter Providing the most aggressive, fast shifts.

While the metal seat and was wearing street ARP to ensure the endurance of the engine when digeber until it reaches its limit. Then to get a monster power, certainly no longer the standard turbo can give their best performance. Instead, dipakailah pelecut Comp Turbo as extra energy. Fun, turbo-made country, Uncle Sam with the code has been adopted CT4380 triple ball bearings that have reached 4 inches in diameter at the compressor inlet and 3 inches at the outlet.

So much, "The turbo housing is ported back to the air flow to be more solid," said Ebel. Thus, at a pressure of 2.3 bar turbo on the figures, obtained power to reach 595 dk ..! "We can Sentul QTT in 11 seconds with 2.1 bar boost and 540 HP power," said Ebel. In fact, after this stage, turbo boost going dipanteng at 2.7 bar with output estimated to reach more than 700 HP.

MODIFIKASI SUZUKI SX4 2008

Great, pembesut SX4 is also an avid home Bogor mepet fender modifications and minimal offset in the rear. "Because I like the style Hellaflush, simple but can get people interested," said Agung. Great car clubs are also members of Les Voitures, Bogor chose Leon Hardiritt Orden rims 19x (8.5 +10) inch offset due to have spotted, the front 25 mm and 19 mm rear. "Aggressive offset for my car," said a man who like to play guitar. Looks sturdy viewed from the rear! The other thing is the design, cross joint in the middle circumference of the wheel makes the car look so elegant and ciamik. And why choose wheels three pieces? "Its construction is unique and there is pride at wearing three pieces, 'said the man who like to read this book. Let the flat target is achieved, the Apex Court to use as front and rear wheels for Toyota Altis. As of this last cut, to the front and back of approximately 7 cm 5.5 cm. "At first I used a aftermarket, but too soft and lacking the short, want to cut my dear, I finally chose a custom," said Agung. Per has been cut, the problem arises because the tires stuck in the fenders. "Finally my fender grinding, keep the plastic fenders off inside me," cuap Court. Implication due to tire too mepet fenders, sometimes when the circumference of the wheel through the streets of curly like kissing fenders. Let's kiss the fenders

SPESIFIKASI Porshce Cayenne

The new design represents the next generation Cayenne that is more compact and dynamic. Cayenne rear seats can move back and forth 160 mm and has three position settings for angle rebahannya. Cayenne has five variants of the Cayenne S Hybrid, Diesel Cayenne, Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo.

AG Porsche Cayenne launched five brand-new type of carpet that the Geneva Auto Show 2010 which took place March 3 to 14 last. Fifth is, the standard Cayenne priced 54.431 Euro or approximately USD 702.54 million.

Second, the Cayenne diesel 59.596 Euro or approximately USD 755.33 million, Cayenne S priced72.686 Euro or approximately USD 921.24 million.

With all the latest components, the Porsche Cayenne is able to reduce its weight to 400 pounds or around 180 pounds.

Porsche claims, with the lighter weight not only helps improve fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions Cayenne, but also improved performance, agility, and handling.

Athletic Body
Porsche Cayenne was first launched in 2002 the same platform with the Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7. Then have a facelift, and this time it appears with the second generation who looked pretty much unchanged.

From a distance, it appears the new Cayenne is smaller than its predecessor. In fact it is just a trick the eye alone, even greater dimensions than the previous version.

Design the strength that makes this ride like an athletic sports junkie, though large still looks slim. Some of the grooves on the body is made more acute, especially the wide engine hood is designed rounded down to the tip of snout shark-like grille.

In Scop, there are two models of the Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Cayenne S and Porsche Cayenne diesel. Well, turn the drinker who gets rations diesel run over bad roads, aka off-road track in the area of Sentul, Bogor, that.

Just like any other luxurious SUVs, such as the Land Rover Discovery, Audi Q7, BMW X5, and Volkswagen Touareg and Toyota Land Cruiser, cabin equipment arguably similar. It has a tuner equipped with electric seat memory, individual air circulation, and Other knick-knacks.to steep incline, feels torque turbo Cayenne is far from enough to climb, let alone PTM dividing the front and rear traction wheels with self locking differential, which from the rear portion : front of 60:40, became divided again when one wheel loses traction with the help of antislip regulation on differential.

Plus the Porsche Torque vectoring Plus, so that the rear differential locked, so the traction to the road surface more leverage.

This was tested when passing a high mound, so that one wheel is raised, traction is still good for the other three wheels, while wheels that lose traction because it raised earlier will be stopped rotation through a coordinated braking with ASR and ABD.

Completeness of PHC (Porsche Hill Control) are also present, serves to hold the speed to be in 3 to 30 km / h on steep derivatives. However, the negative angle where in addition to declining and tilt, this function is less a wedge, as told by Yuma Wiranata Kusumah, a seasoned off-roader as the instructor of this activity.

Everything comes with all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM), leather interior, dual-zone air conditioning plus automatic climate control, parking sensors, cruise control, audio system, touch screen 7-inch, 18 inch alloy wheels. Cayenne Turbo Porsche added the air suspension system Active Suspension Management
(PASM), Bi-Xenon, 19-inch alloy wheels, tire pressure monitor, Porsche Communication Management with satellite navigation, Bose audio system and the seat equipped with heating systems.

SPESIFIKASI Nissan 350Z.

Cobra Technology and Lifestyle is a car tuner from Germany who recently made a special tuning kit for the Nissan 350Z. Actually there are several items ranging from body kits, as to appear more shallow until the rim and energy enhancer device.

Body kit must have been casual, almost all home modification features on this one. But the difference is in the package prepared by Cobra mufflers. This exhaust can be released in two voices that can be selected by the rider.

The first voice sounded smooth engine sound like standards. But if you want more stern voice could be modified like the sound of racing cars. Interestingly enough the replacement of this voice is done by remote control.

How to do? It appeared in the mufflers have a butterfly valve that can be opened and closed using this remote. When the exhaust valves closed that exit barriers are higher so the sound produced remains smooth. But when he opened his voice will be booming.

SPESIFIKASI Mobil Panda

From about 40 model cars manufactured Geely Automobile Holdings Limited of China, there is one model that makes AUTOMOTIVE interested menjajalnya, namely Panda (so called because he looks like a typical Chinese animal, Panda).

Moreover, reportedly will be marketed in Indonesia. "We're still learning. If so, yes the 1000 cc CVVT (available in two engines, 1000 cc and 1300 cc, ed), "said Richard Yang, director of PT Indonesia Geely cars, car manufacturers Geely cars in the country.

Therefore, opportunity not be missed tried Panda. Plant is located in Linhai, a procession of the test was only allowed to surround the plant seputaran and accompanied by a test driver this Geely.Kali, AUTOMOTIVE invitations Panda 1000 cc with 5-speed manual transmission. First nyemplak in the driver's seat, the body feels comfortable. Even so kemudahaan operation buttons (AC, head unit) and the gear lever and other.

Well, now tried the road. For the 1,000 cc-engined car, the Panda was responsive when asked to accelerate. And agile when maneuvering. Could be spelled out because the tiny dimensions (PxLxt = 3.598x1.630x1.465 mm).

Because of limited land, could eventually tested top speed of mini cars in the country dibanderol no more than USD 100 million. But for urban cars, Panda really fit. Moreover, for large cities in Indonesia that is famous for jamming.

MODIFIKASI BMW

Increasing levels of crime, the police seem to need a car like this. Named E7 police car was designed from the beginning to fulfill its function as a vehicle penegas law.

Although still at the level of concept, this car has received good response from the market. Carbon Motors, the maker claims to have received 14.000 orders. But this form of reservation to secure a place in the production plan.

So far that has not been resolved to the message more seriously or at least a down payment. Persoalnya, Carbon Motors is yet to announce the sale price. However, because this car special for the police, the price is certainly not cheap.

Instead of using the device that made exclusive, the engine used was the BMW 3.0-liter turbodiese, one of the best engines and the phenomenal. This machine is very efficient, much more efficient than other police cars that currently operate. All orders that are waiting for what the price of this car.

Interesting to see how big the intentions of the police officers all over the world to serve the community

SPESIFIKASI Volkswagen

The presence of the Apple iPad, exploited well by the famous and the largest carmaker in Europe and Germany, the Volkswagen AG as a digital media today. The car manufacturer just claims as the world's first manufacturer that developed the digital customer magazines by creating a special application for iPad.

Digital product, named DAS, "Automotive Digital Space." The magazine is published every three months in five languages and is accessible throughout Europe.

"DAS is very important to building blocks of digital marketing strategies of Volkswagen. With this we can perform an interactive dialogue with customers. Our target is to continue the appeal of brands and products in a new digital dimension and create a global experience, "explained Luca De Meo, Chief Marketing Volkswagen Passenger Cars iPad when launching applications specifically about this VW.

Five chapters of the application tells the history of Volkswagen. Described, with a picture or image display 360 degrees, users will gain iPad a realistic impression of the technical features of the VW Touareg, for example, to cangkupan insights to the driver from the interior to the exterior surroundings.

For the internet version, VW will also be published in late June of this watershed. The contents of the magazine will also be integrated in social networks like Facebook.

SPESIFIKASI Toyota FT-86

Toyota delaying the birth of the newest sports products bergendre FT-86 at least in 2013 from plans next year. Reportedly, the delay is because Toyota has not comfy on the overall vehicle design.

FT-86 uses a sporty concept with a seat 2 2, FT 86 with rear wheel or rear wheel drive (RWD) as used on the Corolla AE86. Toyota Corolla AE-86 is a sport sedan produced by Toyota in the 80s.

Despite old age, resilience in the event the car was drifting contest (contest driving techniques that are very hard-red) are still recognized. In fact, agility, stability, and accelerated the speed is not lost with brand-new sports car.

The label "G" reinforce the sporty version that has been stretched 30 mm, 20 mm dilated, and the lower 30 mm (4190 mm x 1780 mm x 1230 mm). Toyota FT-86G Sports Concept has a thin profile tires with a diameter of 19 inches 245/40 to the front, and rear tire size 275/35 be. While the interior is adorned with Recaro seats that would cram 4-passenger cabin.

This concept is designed to carry a capacity of 2,000 cc engine equipped with turbocharger devices. Combined with a manual transmission with 6-speed.

Two-door car will be marketed under the plan starting 2011. Cars result of a collaboration between Toyota and Subaru are using the concept of sporty with seats 2 2 and adopted as the driving RWD Corolla AE86.

This car was in inspired by the toughness of the legendary Corolla AE 86 during the era of the 1980s. Until today, particularly automotive enthusiasts still rely AE 86 drifting to perform the action. Even in Indonesia, the car entered the ranks of collectors item because its existence is rare.

FT-86 equipped with 2,000 cc four-cylinder engine, capable of spitting out power to 200 horsepower. The car that uses a system of six-speed manual transmission is also equipped with brake device ADVICS.

In addition, Toyota launch at next year's rate still produces the premature. Uncertain economic situation could lead to fewer sales than the target.

Toyota FT-86 was first introduced to the public at the Tokyo Auto Show in 2009 and is still in draft form. According to a local magazine in Japan, as reported by insidelane.com, manufacturers are planning to turn toward the concept hybrid sports to compete with the mainstay of the Honda CR-Z.

In addition, Japan's largest automobile manufacturer is also targeting its products can be marketed at a price of U.S. $ 22,000 (Rp201, 6 million) per unit in Japan.

SPESIFIKASI Ssangyong C200

Renault and Mahindra to compete to buy Ssangyong Motor (SM). Incidentally, a sports utility vehicle manufacturer vehicles (SUVs) from South Korea that has been done structuring since last year, after the company revealed losses of the period of two years ago. Renault and Mahindra (India) interested in acquiring a value of 500 million U.S. dollars. Thus the Reuters news agency reports quoted Autoevolution.

Of the two manufacturers, according to Reuters, Renault-Nissan's most interested in BC. They have a division of Renault's Samsung in State Ginseng. When asked in their footsteps, both Nissan and Ssangyong has not commented. Reticence Renault and Mahindra are also shown.

"Mahindra has attracted a good reason to buy Ssangyong. They are a new company in the automotive, from there can learn about the manufacturing and marketing of Ssangyong," said Kevin Lee, an analyst at Korea Investment Corporation Shinhan.

South Korean media thinks, Renault-Nissan alliance is likely to be buyers.

Currently, Ssangyong more developed and has undergone its latest SUV test C200. Production plan starting next year. For the domestic market of South Korea, C200 will compete with Honda CR-V and Ford Kouga.

SPESIFIKASI Lotus

Lotus decided to stop one of the models, Europa. This step is done because the manufacturer will launch the latest products New Evora, although still in the same segment.

As reported by autoevolution.com (05/30/2010), Lotus dealers in Europe was no longer receive orders Europa, and production slowly into phase stops. Europa was first released into the market right at the auto show in Geneva in 2006 past.

Sports sedan coupe was first launched armed with metal and fiber and aluminum to produce a lightweight. For Europa S type, holding 2.0 L engine powered 200 dk at 5400 rpm and torque of 272 Nm at 5400 rpm with a six-speed manual transmission. The car can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 5.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 230 km per hour.

Machinery and performance
Technology is proud of this car is the engine Campro CPS (Cam Profile Switching) 1.6 liter DOHC. Latest engine added CPS and VIM (variable intake manifold) that can generate power 125PS@6.500 rpm (previously 110PS@6.000 rpm. 148Nm@4.000 rpm Torque is up from a 150Nm@4.500 rpm.

In the non-CPS Campro engine, the torque drop between 2500 and 3000 rpm. This is complained of some users. The weakness is overcome by using a valve system and open-close time can be arranged, which is generically called VVT-i.

At CPS, do not use the rocker arm valve (trigger) but tapet (bowl). Other technologies are VIM, suction line (intake manifold) whose length can change according to engine speed. At low rpm, channels suction longer. At high rotation, it becomes shorter for faster air flow into the engine.

Proton claims, Neo CPS can now be encouraged, 0-100 km / h in 10.5 seconds (manual), 12.9 seconds (automatic) and a top speed of 190 km / hour. Emissions are also already reached the standard Euro3.

Strengthen chassis
Permanent suspension MacPherson (front) and multi-link in back. To aid stability, there is now an additional stabilizer. Monokok chassis structure is also reinforced in several places, including the use of high tension steel.

It is recognized Chris Atkinson, rally driver from Rally Team Malaysia's Proton R3 Satria Neo S2000 is used. "Neo CPS Chassis sturdy, reliable in the rally," the story of Chris.

To control speed, grafted ventilated disc brakes in front and solid rear discs plus ABS and EBD. For safety, also installed two safety bags (airbag).

Lotus Elite become increasingly attractive, in addition to the aerodynamic design and the typical supercar, also uses a 5.0-liter V8 engine, capable of producing power of 620 PS and 720 Nm of torque. The car is capable of acceleration from 0-100 km / h only takes 3.5 seconds. When the driver stepped on the gas pedal more butter in, then the speedometer needle to touch the number 315 km / hour.Lotus says, Elite will use the hybrid gearbox with an integrated electric motor and an advanced feature Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS).

Lotus CEO Dany Bahar also commented that no one denies that the Elite is not only beautiful to see, but more than that, this is a compact car, high performance, low emission, light but still sturdy. "So we are proud and there is no better than the Elite out there, both in terms of style and performance," he said.

For the next generation, Lotus Europa SE launched at the Geneva Motor Show 2008. Striking differences in convenience sector. Tanaga cars also increased to reach 225 dk at 5700 rpm and 301 Nm of torque. As a result, acceleration was carved 5.3 seconds for 0-100 km per hour with a maximum speed of 242 km per hour.

2010 New Lotus Sports Cars Exige S240

British performance sports car manufacturer Lotus has officially unveiled their 2010 Lotus Exige S240. While Lotus fans will recognize this as a very subtle update, the grille and rear wing facelift is a step forward for the mark. The exciting new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 enters the United States and Canadian markets in the fall of 2009 with new front styling, a new rear wing and the same rare combination of exceptional performance and high efficiency.

The Lotus Exige S240 features a roof integrated air intake scoop feeds air through the air-to-air intercooled and supercharged 1.8 liter Lotus-tuned and Toyota-sourced 2ZZ-GE engine with Intelligent Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) to provide 240hp at 8,000 rpm and 170 ft.-lbs. of torque at 5,500.

The 2010 Lotus Exige S240 sprints to 60 mph in a blistering 4.1 seconds and the 100 mph barrier sails by in approximately 10 seconds with top speed is 150 mph. The Lotus Exige S240 is equipped with a 6-speed transaxle synchromesh transmission, traction control and launch control. New for 2010, the optional Track Package will include adjustable Ohlins dampers with threaded spring perches and remote oil reservoirs front and rear.

The Lotus Exige is a renowned high performance coupe that has a well earned reputation as the choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance, both on the road and on the track. The 2010 Exige S240 introduces a few key enhancements to update the appearance and improve aerodynamic performance. A restyled front end and new larger, low drag rear wing, not only reduces drag, but also gives a more muscular stance enhancing the lightweight shrink-wrapped look of the whole car.

Passing along lessons learned on the track with the Exige GT3 racing program, Lotus Sport Cars has contributed another important technology � variable launch control combined with variable traction control. The launch control allows the driver to determine the number of revs they wish to use during a standing start. Having programmed that limit, the driver then holds their foot down fully on the throttle pedal and sidesteps the clutch pedal for a very quick departure from the line. The clutch damper cushions the severity of the clutch to transmission engagement to minimize the stresses to the drivetrain. The launch control also keeps wheel-spin at bay until 6 mph, after which the traction control assumes its duties.

Like all Lotus cars, the functional components of the car are also beautifully designed as Russell Carr, Chief of Lotus Design, explains, "For 2010 we have taken the already visually extreme Exige and given it even more visual drama. The changes we have integrated to the front and rear of the Exige signal an even clearer and purposeful intent. The functional rear wing is race-inspired, the new angular air intakes and full width splitter give a more hard-edged and aggressive look. Overall, the Exige appears more planted and gives the illusion that both the front and rear of the car are wider than they really are, yet without losing its agile and sleek character."

The new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 is scheduled to launch in the US and Canada in the Fall of 2009. This new 2010 Lotus Exige S240 goes on sale this fall with a starting price of $65,690 and will be available in an upgraded track package with added performance benefits. The 2010 Lotus Exige S240 will hit U.S. and Canadian markets this Autumn.
