Manufacture BMW M5 is stopped

The model of business class BMW 5th series has replaced generation this spring, and extreme sedans and versatile persons M5 in a former body as it usually happens, remained on the conveyor in expectation of the successors. But Bavarians have decided to make a pause between sport cars, and release M5 is stopped.

The superfast version of 5th series in body E60, issued since 2005, became, probably, the most outstanding in the history of the Bavarian M-models of a business class. Has put at all that for 26 years of existence versions M5 last generation has dispersed on the world in record circulation in 20 548 copies (from them 1 025 versatile persons). Unlike present M3, X5 M and X6 M, that "five" was created on classical canons of mark BMW: it had atmospheric engine V10 developing 507 h.p.

Next generation M5 will be shown to public in September on the Parisian motor show, and it already will be a product of other era in the history of DM. The sedan will receive turbo V8 from M-off-road cars. Presumably, specially for "five" its capacity will hoist from 555 to 572 h.p. to Receive approximate representation about appearance of the car it is possible already now. One of these days company BMW has presented an aerodynamic M-weather-cloth for present "five".

It is necessary to notice that admirers of the Bavarian mark still have one variant of purchase of a sport car with extreme V10 which was put on M5. Speech about a coupe and cabriolets M6. However, and they will hold on on the conveyor not too long. In the Network already there were espionage pictures of new generation of "six", and after its debut days (is more exact, months) the superengine will be are considered.

Most powerful Mini in the world!

On annual «Festival of Speed» that will pass in English Gudvude, to visitors will suggest to admire the most powerful and ridiculous of all Mini, existing in the nature. Simply enough to look at a photo, to understand that people with the hypertrophied sense of humour created this car. On some cars especially cheerful guys already established engines from tank "Centurion" and a fighter "Spitfajr", but here to supply Mini with diesel engine Cummins QSK78 in weight in 11 300 kg anybody did not guess yet. This motor V18 has a working volume in 78 litres, is supplied by twelve turbo compressors, develops capacity in 3500 h.p. (13 770 Nm) and is specially created for installation on the career dump trucks, capable to transport cargoes in weight to 360 tons.

Murray Т25

The British engineer Gordon Murray who is known all over the world as the founder well-known super car McLaren F1, declared creation of the own car. Its company under name Gordon Murray Design has shown the first photos of model under name Murray Т25.

The most interesting that Т25 has appears not like super car but how small city auto in which three persons (one in front at the wheel and two behind) can take places only. The length Murray Т25 makes 2400 mm. And if this model goes to manufacture it becomes the smallest car in the world, after all the length Smart makes 2690 mm.

Spirra. Koreans have made the first Super Car!

In 2001 small South Korean company Proto Motors has presented a prototype of future sport car PS II which promised to start in a batch production in the nearest year-two. But it does not happen. Required the whole nine years to finish super car, received name Spirra.

Because working out on car has actually begun in the last century, it is difficult to name design Spirra modern. If not to pay attention on middle motor configuration it is possible to accept Spirra for a usual Japanese sport coupe the beginning of the century. However, it is necessary to recognise nevertheless that Japanese cars of ten years' prescription had nevertheless more expressive design. As to technical characteristics here again Koreans have not thought up anything original. A spatial frame with body panels from carbon and 2,7-litre six-cylinder engine Hyundai established before a rear axle capacity of 175 h.p. and 245 Nm. An indicator worthy any "warmed-up" hatchback of a golf class. But it is the base version. There are versions more powerful, and all of them are equipped with the same motor Hyundai.

The version a class above already carries name Spirra Turbo and has turbo motor capacity of 330 h.p. (471 Nm). But also in such kind to name Spirra super car very difficult. Koreans perfectly understand it and consequently two more versions have offered all with the same 2,7-litre motor which, develops 400-420 h.p. (490 Nm), and the top version with two turbines already gives out quite decent 450-500 h.p. (539 Nm). All versions are equipped with a six-step manual transmission.

Depending on version first hundred conquest leaves from 6,8 sec to 3,5 sec, and the maximum speed makes from 212 to 310 km/h. Also depending on the version the car has 18 or 19-inch wheel disks with rubber Kumho dimension 225/40 in front and 275/40 behind. The Passenger compartment is finished by a skin, inserts from carbon and can brag of sports "ladles" Recaro. The price of the first Korean a super car while is unknown, as well as commodity markets. It is quite probable that Spirra will not appear outside of Korea.

Nissan Juke. Sales started!

Nissan has begun sale of new crossover Juke. However, now this car is accessible only in territory of Japan where it costs starts from $18 500 for the version in a base complete set. In Europe sales Juke starts only in the autumn of this year.

Nissan Juke is the smallest crossover in scale Nissan. Base complete set of the car as now it is accepted at compact crossovers, will have a drive gear only on a front axle. But it is possible to receive for surcharge and all wheel drive system, and simultaneously with it the rear multilever suspender borrowed from larger Qashqai will be applied on the car. The all wheel drive here very clever - electronics can distribute a twisting moment not only on shafts, but also on each wheel separately depending on a road situation. Both will work in a dirt or snow, and on dry asphalt – in turning movement the external wheel begins to turn hardly more actively the internal.

Mercedes prepares small super car!

The Mercedes-Benz will exhaust second super car under mark AMG, transfers magazine AutoBild. Now Germans already exhaust model SLS AMG, this car is equipped with 6,3-litre "eight" which gives out 571 h.p. and 650 Nm.

After all the coupe developed by engineers of studio AMG, will possess not only aggressive appearance, but also very powerful engines. So, on this car will start to put motor V8 in volume of 6,3 l which will be set up to 450-500 h.p. Besides, there will be a version with V6 (about 300 h.p.), and also a coupe with a hybrid power-plant.

It is expected that the premiere of a new coupe which yet has no name, will take place in 2013.

McLaren MP4-12C – all features of new supercar!

Yesterday in Woking has been officially presented supercar MP4-12C and plans on the further expansion of a lineup are opened. As underline in McLaren, the beginning of manufacture of a novelty is, as a matter of fact, a birth of new mark of sport cars. Unlike legendary McLaren F1 (circulation – 107 copies), the new project is aimed at serial release supercars – to 4 000 pieces in a year.

In Woking knows, possession of supercar is a special way of life. Not only the limiting delight at the wheel, but also limiting complexities at service and repair. In due time British have amazed all: if McLaren demands repair, the technical expert of factory will take off to the owner a supercar for any point of the world. Such were Service conditions supercars F1. However, 35 dealer centres which will be engaged in sale of cars MP4-12C in 19 countries of the world too intend to amaze the clients. Still before the first car is sold to the buyer, the dealer is obliged to complete a warehouse of spare parts with all necessary details which only can be necessary. Thus if on a metre panel the indicating lamp testifying to this or that failure is fired, the driver can send pressing of one key the SMS-MESSAGE with an error code to the general database McLaren and simultaneously to the dealer that for arrival on service of the master had time to prepare all necessary and to make repair in the shortest terms.

Audi E-Tron will go to a Serial Production

Representatives of company Audi have confirmed that they will exhaust the first Electric Super Car E-Tron. However, this model will appear on sale only in 2012, and its circulation will make only 1000 copies. Will cost how many Audi e-tron while, naturally, it is not informed, but nobody hides that it will be the most expensive serial Audi for all history of existence of the company.

Let's remind that the premiere concept e-tron has passed in September of this year on a motor show in Frankfurt. Electric super car was at this exhibition one of the most interesting exhibits. Still, after all this car is set in motion by four electric motors (one on each wheel) which eat from the litievo-ionic accumulator battery located behind seats and having liquid cooling. Total capacity of motors in peak reaches 313 horsepowers, and the size of the maximum twisting moment and is at all magnificent. Already from zero "turns" cursors in the sum give out attention! 4500 Nm.



Thanks to such indicators! A coupe from a place to 100 km/h dispersed all for 4,8 sec only. Maximum speed could be and above, but developers have decided to limit it on a mark of 200 km/h. On high speeds too much energy leaves on overcoming of aerodynamic resistance and resistance. All-wheel drive e-tron possesses the expressed rear-wheel habits as 70 % of pull-rod almost always are necessary on rear wheels.
