Probably made up from the extra stiffening active LSD and the underbody ground effect stuff. Engineers tried to reduce weight through using light materials and forged metal. The bonnet and front side panels are made of aluminium. On the V.spec, the front flat bottom tray is made of fiberglass and the rear one, which has to withstand the high temperature from the exhaust pipes, is made of carbon fiber.

Owners should then read through this manual before operating Nissan Murano vehicle. Nissan realized the advantages of CVTs early on and has worked vigorously to improve their performance since implementing its first CVT on a production model in 1992. Nissan adopted a CVT on a 2.0-liter car for the first time in 1997 and was the world’s first automaker to apply a CVT to a 3.5-liter front-wheel-drive car in 2003.
New Corona light-rings and Xenon Adaptive Headlights, now standard, seem to stare down the roadway. In the back, exhaust tips in chrome (on the 335i) and stainless steel (on the 328i) lend even more muscular attitude. Attention-getting metallic paint options such as Platinum Bronze and Barbera Red2 add to its standout looks. And in a nod to tradition, the hardtop retains BMW’s trademark Hofmeister Kink.
Please refer to page 11 for the complete list of wheel options. Barbera Red Metallic available March 2007 production.
Implementation open, for vehicles with 4.2 Liter engine with start of production. The engine should not be running, if the actuation of “A/C Compressor Regulator Valve -N280-” or “A/C clutch -N25-” is being checked on vehicles from model year 2002. With engine running the A/C Control Head -E87- does not actuate these actuators, but starts the output DTM with Fresh Air Blower.
Fuel hoses in engine compartment must only be secured with spring-type clips. Clamping-type or screw-type clips must not be used. A voltage of at least 11.5 V is required for proper operation of the electrical components. Do not use sealants containing silicone. Particles of silicone drawn into the engine will not be burnt in the engine and will damage the Lambda probe.
The vehicles are fitted with a crash/fuel shut-off system. This system is designed to reduce the risk of a vehicle fire after a crash by deactivating the fuel pump via the fuel pump relay.

Chrysler released photos of the new 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible. Before heading to her new image, we read a bit about 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible: It didn’t show up in Detroit as some had predicted, but the new Chrysler 200 Convertible has made its debut this week. Starting price four-cylinder, or $33,460 for the V-6.
Chrysler 200 gets a new powertrain lineup featuring the 2.4-liter I-4 World Gas Engine mated to either a four-speed or six-speed automatic transaxle, or the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle; improved ride and handling tuning which includes stiffened body mounts and softer ride rate, improved suspension geometry with a raised roll center, a new rear sway bar, and new tires and an extensively upgraded treatment for the reduction of noise, vibration and harshness including acoustic laminated glass for the windshield and front door windows.
Kia Motors’ design-led transformation has delivered eye-catching vehicles such as the Soul, Sorento and Sportage that bear strong resemblances to the concept cars that preceded them, and today at the 2011 North American International Auto Show the brand’s U.S. design studio unveiled its latest design statement – the Kia KV7 Concept.
Conceived as a modern-day “activity MPV”, the KV7 was designed by Kia’s California design team to challenge the notion that MPVs are strictly for family transportation. KV7 reveals a vision for a vehicle with the functionality to transport a large number of people, and their belongings, while also serving as a connected social hub for groups of friends and adventure-seekers.
The Kia KV7 Concept’s design stands in sharp contrast to the dramatically raked windshields and wedge-shaped noses found throughout the MPV segment, and builds on the philosophy of “embracing the box” established by Kia’s funky Soul urban crossover to create a unique and alluring design language that brings SUV-like qualities to the segment.
Inspiration for the Kia KV7 Concept was found in the simplicity of elegant box shapes such as sleek smart phones and classic pieces of luggage.
The lounge-like interior is accessed by a striking passenger-side gullwing door which, when opened with the pillar-less front passenger door, provides extraordinarily convenient access. It also allows the vehicle to open up to the outside world and become the sociable hub of an outdoor event.
Paired with an A-pillar and windshield design that is less vertical than traditional MPVs, KV7’s wide stance and its smooth exterior skin and 20-inch wheels exude a modern appearance while projecting the confidence and strength of an SUV.
The Kia KV7 Concept’s inviting face is highlighted by an interpretation of Kia’s signature bold tabbed grille with vertical LED headlamps integrated within the design to create a clean, smooth look. The KV7 features several LED lighting elements that Kia’s design team is evaluating for future production vehicles, including a continuous line of LED fog lights that span the entire front end of the vehicle and directional turn indicators on the outside mirrors and the rear of the vehicle that pulse in the direction being signalled.
The final element that separates the Kia KV7 Concept from the rest of the MPV crowd can be found under the hood – the concept is powered by Kia’s new Theta II 2.0-litre GDI turbocharged engine, as found in the new U.S. spec Optima saloon. Capable of delivering up to 285 hp and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission it delivers V6-type power and performance while enhancing fuel efficiency.
Ford Super Duty customers expect and demand capability from the best-selling heavy-duty truck in America, diesel and gasoline engines deliver improved torque, horsepower, fuel economy. Ford’s F-Series has been the best-selling line of trucks in the U.S. for 32 straight years.
The 2011 Ford Super Duty can be had with two engines: the 6.2-liter gasoline-powered V8 found in the upgraded SVT Raptor, which puts out 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, or an all-new, Ford-designed 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 producing 390 hp and a pavement pummeling 735 lb-ft of twist (at 1,600 rpm).
The latter engine in the F450 is able to tow some 24,400 pounds and has a maximum payload of 4,920 pounds. The F350, which is the closest competitor to the Chevrolet, GMC or Ram equivalent, comes to the fight with 21,600 pounds of towing capacity and 6,520 pounds of payload (if you’re curious why the F450’s maxium payload is less than the F350’s, check out this explanation half-way down the page). Each engine is mated to a 6R140 heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission.
“The 2011 Ford Super Duty offers the widest array of solutions for the widest array of heavy-duty work truck customers,” said Chris Brewer, chief engineer.
Now the Alfa Romeo Style Centre has produced a new 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta, is a new construction called “Compact,”. a five-door hatchback with an evident Alfa Romeo appearance and capable of expressing both a great agility in the most demanding routes and offer comfortable travel.
Even if all eyes are on the new cars being unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo has decided that this would be the perfect moment to offer consumers a preview of the future Giulietta compact hatch. The vehicle is currently set to be officially revealed in 2010 at the Geneva Motor Show, but we think Alfa Romeo may have seen a little bit of opportunity emerge. Most expected for the 147’s successor to be called the Milano, however Alfa decided to bring back a name from the fifties: “The Giulietta is a car that, in the fifties, caught the imagination of generations of car enthusiasts, making the dream of owning an Alfa Romeo and enjoying the high level of comfort and technical excellence accessible for the first time.”
The Giulietta speaks the same design language as the 8C Competizione super car with its trilobe shape and modern take on the classic inverted triangle classic Alfa grill set front and center in the front bumper and flanked on either side by a pair of oversized air intakes. When it goes on sale in the spring of 2010, the Giulietta will be offered with a choice of two gas burning engines. The first is the 1.4TB making 120 HP and the 1.4TB MultiAir that cranks out a total of 170 HP. There will also be two alternatively fueled diesel engines, the 1.6 JTDM pumping out 105 HP and the 2.0 JTDM that makes 170 HP, both belonging to FIAT’s second generation JTDM, turbo diesel engines. The top of the line Giulietta will be the 1750 TBi that develops a maximum output of 235 HP and will come with Alfa’s racy Quadrifoglio Verde trim package.
