Interesting news of the Geneva Motor Show

The biggest car dealerships, like litmus paper, reflect the state of the global automotive industry. And it seems to present an abundance of prime Geneva Motor Show, is beginning to emerge from the spin, which fell on the "mercy" of financial and economic crisis. By tradition, the bulk of new products in Geneva accounted for European automakers. Interesting news of the Geneva motor show, as always, find something to surprise the audience. Environmental safety advocates determining factor in the automotive industry. A clear indication of this is an unprecedented number of debuts-lished in Geneva concept cars with hybrid and electric motors. Some of them will soon appear on the public roads. All the chances to find a note about the pipeline has a promising business-class hatchback Opel Flextreme GT / E. This car with a rapidly design is driven by a 150-horsepower electric motor. Source of nutrient-are mounted under the rear seats and the boot floor lithium-ion battery, charged from 1.4-liter gasoline engine. To recharge the batteries and the home is suitable grid. The prototype is able to accelerate to 200 km / h and has a decent for a "hybrid" cruising range of 500 kilometers, to overcome that he need only 8 liters of gasoline. Seat brought to Geneva electrocar IBe, mass production scheduled for 2014. Concept was developed based on the model Ibiza and is equipped with an electric power of 68 horsepower. Moreover, short-term capacity can be increased to 102 horsepower. At a mass of 1000 kg car accelerates from standstill to 100 km / h in 9.4 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 160 km / h. On one charge electric car can travel 130 kilometers. In addition to advanced technology, the prototype has been run-in a new style of the Spanish brand. According to chief designer Luc Seat Donkervolke, style IBe will have a noticeable effect on the appearance of all new models of the company. Not cheated salon interesting concept, and French manufacturers. Peugeot still room hybrid coupe SR1 with an unusual landing formula 3 +1. Functions of the power plant does gasoline turbo 1.6-liter capacity and an electric motor mounted in the drive the rear wheels. The total capacity of the hybrid unit is 313 horsepower. As is clear from the press release, the average prototype consumes 4.9 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. Peugeot is considering SR1 heads-nym way as the conductor of the new style, which will be reflected in production cars of the first French manufacturer. However, do not exclude Chenoa and the fact that the concept car will take place on the conveyor as self-mentary model. One of the brightest automo-lei, exhibited in the banking capital, was the concept Citroen Survolt. For modest overall dimensions (3.85 / 1.87 / 1.2 m) two-seater looks as like a supercar. And all thanks to the outrageous design of the main elements of which were borrowed from the acclaimed coupe GTbyCitroen, shown by the company in 2008. On technical stuffing Citroen Survolt official information there. According to some reports, the prototype equip-Dowan 272-horsepower electric motor that receives energy from placed under the bottom of compact batteries. Italian design studio Italdesign Giugiaro presented just three hybrid concept car, developed in partnership with Lotus, Malaysian carmaker Proton. Family of vehicles called Emas («gold" - translated from Malay). Subkompaktny hatchback Emas3 City is designed to move in a crowded city streets. Concept has a length of three meters and can accommodate four people. Five-door Emas Comfort and Emas Country offers its passengers more comfort and in addition have a luggage-nicknames with 320 and 390 liters. In all prototypes, installed 45-kilowatt electric motor and 1.2-liter 51-strong internal combustion engine capable of running on gasoline, ethanol and methanol. Interesting innovations of the Geneva motor show pleased and Asian pro-Producers. Among which particularly stood out ryh Hyundai and Honda. Koreans are prepared to show a prototype Willy hybrid sedan Hyundai i-flow. The design concept was created in a German studio company, and technology developed with the participation of the group Basf. In particular, the Germans were equipped with self-bil upscale interior materials, and worked on a hybrid engine. "Moving parts" includes a 1.7-liter turbo diesel engine, electric motor and a set of lithium-ion batteries. The power plant building-block 6-speed preselektivnoy gearbox with two clutches. Onboard electrician i-flow runs on energy from the roof mounted solar panels. Also, the concept is equipped with technology that helps the engine to adopt a conservation optimum temperature. It is not surprising that the sedan consumes an average of 3 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers. According to some information, Hyundai plans to launch i-flow in series-agricultural production in the next year. That is only likely if the car gets to the pipeline in its current form. Honda did not try to time-zit visitors umopomra-restrictive design and cosmic technology. Armed with the motto "all brilliant - just" Japanese-metal experts at presented a promising means of transport Noe 3R-C Concept, designed for city-ray use. Concept is a cross between a scooter and a car and features a simple, if not primitive device. In 3R-C single cabin and three wheels, but as a force-boiler system uses a single motor. On the prospects of this devaysa not yet known. The current Geneva Salon showed that the race of environmentally sound technologies is beyond the scope of mass automobile industry and covers the segment of the elite cars. So, Ferrari vysta-fork under the arches Palexpo hybrid HY-KERS, designed based on the model 599 GTB Fiorano. Supercar powerplant consists of a 6-liter V12 (power not reported) and 100-horsepower electric motor, located on the rear axle. The electric motor is part of the recovery of kinetic energy and is capable of KERS for a short time add value to the power plant. At one electric con-tsept can drive about 4.8 miles. Together with hybrid-engine nym HY-KERS got a new 7-speed robotic gearbox with two clutches. According to official data, from 0 to 200 km / h prototype time-chases after 7.5 seconds. This is four-tenths of a second less than the required base 599 GTB. It is expected that Ferrari will deploy small-scale pro-duction of a hybrid supercar in the next three years. At the peak of a competitor from Maranello, Porsche presented in Geneva a prototype of ecologically pure spider 918 Spyder. Basis for the car was taken racing car RS Spyder. In particular, used his platform and gasoline 3.4-liter V8 engine with 500 horsepower, which is complemented by two electric motors, developing 218 horsepower. Thus, the total capacity of the power unit 918 Spyder exceeded 700 "horses". That's enough to prototype accelerated from standstill to 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds and overcame a 300-kilometer high-speed line. But the most interesting - with an average fuel consumption of a supercar is 3 liters per 100 kilometers. With 25 kilometers of the car can travel solely on electric. Also, the engine pre-envisions three modes of operation. This "hybrid" (with simultaneous operation of internal combustion engines and electric motors), sports (when the majority of the total torque-Xia said the rear wheels) and "race" (in which all power units operating with maximum efficiency). In addition, the driver an opportunity to briefly increase the power of the engine through a system of recovery of kinetic energy. Stuttgart-sky manufacturer intends to run a Porsche Spyder into a series not later than 2015. Unlike hybrids and electric concept sports cars the Italian studio Pininfarina and Bertone are equipped with petrol motors. Coupe Bertone Pandion built to the 100 th anniversary of Alfa Romeo and the best way possible implementa-schaet a philosophy of the famous brand. Extremely short can be expressed in the philosophy the word-mi: beauty, power, speed. Concept is remarkable in the first "space" sprinkler-dimensional and 3.6-foot guillotine doors that open 90 degrees. Base for Bertone Pandion is RWD platform supercar Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Borrowed from him, and 4,7-liter V8 engine with 450 horsepower. Studio Pininfarina also timed its novelty - the roadster 2ettottanta - the anniversary of Alfa Romeo, and simultaneously to its own 80-year anniversary. Car is created based on the model Duetto, unreleased Italian company in the 60's. Therefore not surprising that in the guise of a concept dominates the classic style. At the roadster set turbocharged engine volume 1.75 liters. It is likely that 2ettottanta will soon rise on the conveyor, which takes the place of the current Alfa Spider. His concept of environmentally friendly sports car, while at the same time one of the most interesting novelties of the Geneva Motor Show Lotus and demonstrated on the example of the experimental convertible Evora 414E Hybrid. The car is equipped with two-elektrodvigate lyami propelling the rear wheels. In sum, power units are developing 414 horsepower and 800 Nm, which provides a conceptual acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds. In conjunction with the main-mi motors operate gasoline 1.2-liter capacity, 47 horsepower, intended-chenny generate energy for on-board batteries. Cruising hybrid Lotus of us to-485 kilometers, of which 56 prototype is able to drive off with a petrol engine. It is also noteworthy that the designers have equipped coupe high-stage PPC regime simulation of 7-range automatic transmission. Also, the concept is equipped with a system of electronic sound generation, able to synthesize the sound of 6 - or 12-cylinder-wave engine. Production Evora 414E Hybrid is scheduled to begin in the coming years.
