Dodge SRT Viper GTS

Dodge SRT Viper GTS Debut In Indonesia 2013

The new Viper is first debuting at the New York auto show. But it’s no longer called a Dodge; now it’s just the SRT Viper. Shown with striking red light color plus his trademark white striping, SRT Viper GTS so enchanting visitors at booth IIMS 2013 Chrysler Indonesia. But unfortunately, steering wheel still on the left, so it can not be used in Indonesia. Then when the iconic supercar of this Dodge will be sold in Indonesia?

PT Garansindo Inter Global who flew directly the SRT Viper GTS from Detroit to Indonesia is also said that this car will also be sold in Indonesia, where they are available right wheel version. "A lot of the interest and many are willing to buy. Selling new but we have not exhibited it", said Sales Executive PT Garansindo Inter Global, Agnes at IIMS 2013.

To launch schedule itself, Agnes slightly leaking info. She said the SRT Viper GTS will go on sale in Indonesia in 2015. "I still hear about the new 2015 will be sold and the price itself is considered to be very expensive, " she whispered.

2013 SRT Viper GTS was carrying 8,400 cc aluminum engine V10 -powered 640 hp and 600 Nm of torque . The trick cam-in-cam variable valve-timing system remains, although the profile of the intake lobes was reworked. Engineers credit this with about 10 of the additional horses. A new composite intake manifold with longer runners replaces the old aluminum piece, dropping seven pounds from the top of the engine and ratcheting power up another 10 horses or so and pumping torque up about 20 lb-ft. 

An aluminum flywheel cuts 11 pounds, helping revs build faster, and sodium-filled exhaust valves help keep engine temps down as well as saving a pound. In total, the engine is 25 pounds lighter now than its predecessor. The machine is supplied to the 6 -speed manual transmission with Sport DNA.

There are other refinements, too. New forged-aluminum Mahle pistons will take the heat of aftermarket power adders better than the old cast pieces, and revisions to the block and the head gaskets help reduce temperatures at the rear cylinders, which have been known to get hotter than the rest of the holes. Port fuel injection remains, as packaging a direct-injection system proved too difficult. After being hand-built at the Conner Avenue assembly plant, every single Viper engine will be dyno tested to verify that it hits the advertised marks.

Honda NSX Concept Car

Honda has shown NSX concept at the Frankfurt motor show, and although this is the same concept we saw last year we now know it will be the last time it will be shown at a motor show in concept form.

the released pictures and details of a new racing variant of the upcoming NSX, called the Concept-GT, which will compete in the GT500 class of the Japanese Super GT series. Like the production version, the racer features a petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain, although due to the regulations uses a smaller 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant.

The latest incarnation of the road-going Honda NSX concept car made its debut at the Mid-Ohio Raceway ahead of an Indycar race at the circuit. The latest concept previews the return of the NSX via a tech-heavy four-wheel-drive hybrid supercar, tackling the Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 GT3, as well as the new BMW i8.

A power output of around 400bhp is anticipated from its mid-mounted V6 engine and hybrid electric motors. The engine, along with main electric motor will primarily drive the rear wheels, via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with a couple of supplementary motors powering the front axle. Honda dubs the torque vectoring system SH-AWD, short for Super Handling All Wheel Drive.

Assuming the production model doesn’t grow significantly, the NSX will have a relatively small footprint, which will be smaller than the McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458. Honda hasn’t yet released a weight figure, but it is thought that the focus on hybrid technology means it probably won’t be the flyweight and delicate sportscar that the original was.

Global development of the car is being performed by Honda's Ohio R&D team, led by Ted Klaus, while the company has previously confirmed the new NSX will be built in a new Performance Manufacturing Centre in Ohio. The fact that the NSX primarily a US project means it is badged as an Acura, although the European and Japanese models will wear the Honda name.

The new £46m (70m dollars) advanced production facility has been built in close proximity to Honda’s main Ohio plant, although much like the first NSX’s super high-tech Japanese factory (Takanezawa), is entirely self-contained. The company will pick 100 employees from current operations in Ohio to build the NSX.

Honda recently opened the order books for the NSX in the UK, ahead of a planned 2015 launch, and although UK prices are still to be announced, they are expected to start at around £100,000 – securely in Audi R8 or Porsche 911 territory.

Expected to go on sale in the next three years, will be developed by Honda R&D Americas and manufactured in Ohio, USA.

MotoGP Qualification Motorland Aragon 2013

Able to appear as the fastest driver on the fourth free practice session at Motorland Aragon MotoGP, Spain ( 28/9 ), was not a guarantee that Dani Pedrosa could secure the pole position in the qualifying session earlier in the afternoon.

Is a Japanese manufacturer, Honda is reportedly ready to release RCV 1000. The bike is nothing but a version of the RC123V MotoGP at EICMA 2013 in Milan, Italy in November.

Some photos appear in social networking, and depict a future RCV 1000. Not just news phenomenal appearance. RCV 1000 is also claimed as a 'toy' which is very expensive, with a price of about Rp 1.3 billion!

Eits, do not be surprised. For comparison, the Ducati Desmosedici RR was already valued USD 740 million and is always up on the black market after the entire production totaled 1,500 units sold out. Of course the price is fantastic for the RCV 1000 is enough to feel the sensation of a over 200 BHP V4 engine owned RC123V Pedrosa and Marquez.

Toyota Fun-Vii Futuristic EV

This futuristic EV concept is Toyota's vision of the future of driving. With generation Z, who have grown up with the internet, as the target audience, the whole body and interior is a smartphone-connected display.

"Normally, the scenery outside is visible. And by adding AR displays, safety has been enhanced. As a bonus, all kinds of information can be shown on the windscreen."

"When people in the so-called Net Native generation get a car, the question is: What kind of value will that car need to offer? We've approached this question from the leisure perspective, rather than from the car side. So our idea with this car is to get to the heart of the question, from the outside in."

The Toyota Fun-Vii's software for driving, control, and multimedia is updated continually online. By connecting to nearby cars and to satellites, blind spots at intersections can be perceived in advance, you can communicate with other friends cars, and the car is able to drive itself to destinations.

"What we're currently thinking of, possibly, is driving an EV automatically, as well as ordinary driving, turning, and stopping. If there are automatic driving lanes on public roads, and this car enters one, you could take your hands off the wheel, and enjoy doing something else. We're thinking about all kinds of devices for situations like that."

"For example, with a video like this, you might be able to enjoy virtual racing between the monitor and your actual situation. Even if you're driving slowly, you could have a new visual experience by playing the video fast. Those are the sort of ideas we've been thinking about."

Nissan Extrem Concept Car

Nissan company has created a new car Nissan Extrem and showed it at the International Motor Show in Sao Paulo (the south-east of Brazil).

Nissan Extrem created by developers as a "new urban compact sports car." Car created on Nissan March / Micra, and despite the large size of the body,the landing formula is only 2+2, and sadly enough space only for two adults and two children. And it is his main drawback.

The main idea says, that on the new concept car is necessary to put a 1.6-liter turbo engine with Direct Fuel Injection (DIG-T),and as an option, offering all-wheel drive with torque distribution system, a system similar to the system Nissan Juke. But inspite of all the pros and cons of a series of future Nissan Extrem never will.

With this concept car, Nissan company shows its attitude to world car market. Nissan-is one of the fastest growing, so many corporations seek to snatch a piece of the "Brazilian pie." Nissan expects to take a 5% market share by 2016, when Nissan will become the title sponsor of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
