Space technologies in motor industry.

25th Октябрь 2009

Looking at this car, at many hair start to move. It is present super car which is capable to be dispersed up to 407 km/h. If only trunks stood suitable. And then the driver can feel the test pilot at overcoming a sound barrier.
Super car Bugatti Veyron already became the talk of the town - the compartment does not speak about it only lazy. One it eulogize, and others simply consider as its successful PR-action of designer Volkswagen which has decided to show to all world that is capable to create not only national “golfs”.
Probably nobody will challenge that fact, that Veyron has incorporated weight of the advanced technologies. And as a result rather successful combination of comfort and unknown power has turned out. The 16-cylinder engine of this “monster” has volume of eight litres, is equipped by four turbines, sixty four valves and can develop capacity in 1001 h.p.
From dynamics created by it super car in a combination to a constant full drive, heart simply fades: the car is dispersed up to 100 km/h only for 2,5 s. And it is confirmed during tests Veyron.
In compartment Bugatti Veyron the technologies applied in the space industry are used. So, the brake system with carboxylic disks is combined with eight-cylinder monoblock supports. At braking for the speed of 200 km/h and above join special air brakes. For the speed of 400 km/h at emergency braking the car will completely be slowed down less than for 10 seconds!
On the Geneva motor show in March of current year Bugatti has shown the next updating Veyron developed together with “ the fashionable house ” Hermus. This machine is created for those who aspires to emphasize originality of the auto.
Special attention designer Hermus Gabriel Pezzini has given interior Bugatti. Pezzini, in a new fashion having interpreted traditional two color registration of body Bugatti Veyron, has emphasized smooth transition from external design to internal: color of a cowl passes to the panel of devices and elements of interior, and then appears again on back wings.
Leans Bugatti Veyron on wheels with disks from the polished aluminum. In the center of each disk letter” Н” is put. Radiator enclosure is made of an easy metal alloy in the form of set of letters Н imposed against each other.
Internal surfaces of interior of the car are trimmed by the veal leather. The form of door handles reminds bends of handles of road bags Hermus.
Also there is this of super car of all 1,5 million euro, without taking into account taxes. The quite good price for dear toy!

Premiere of spring 2008: the Mazda 2.

24th Октябрь 2009

To one of the loudest and expected prime-minister just the Geneva motor show which has opened the door became three-door Mazda2. And it in spite of the fact that the novelty externally and on dimensions not too differs from the “ the senior brother ” - a hatchback with five doors.
Though, stop! Owing to “scrap” of superfluous pair doors and without that the bright machine began to look even more impudently and dynamically.
Ikuo Maeda (an accent on “е”), chief-designer Mazda:
“ We aspired to give to ours “ truncated ” compact the balanced external shape. Pay attention on wedge-shaped a silhouette and an abrupt inclination of the bottom edge the windows giving to shape precipitancy. For those drivers to whom the maneuverability and dynamism in the constrained city conditions is important, three-banger car will serve as the present bait ” - main designer Mazda tells to editors of Autopanorama Ikuo Maeda. However, the tightened silhouette can remind the some… running shoe.
On tastes, as is known, do not argue, but indifferent this car will not leave anybody. The hint of the Japanese designers is understood - if five-banger car is positioned as the female machine three-banger car it can already be perceived as rollicking drivers-car.
The ruler of motors has remained the same, as with “ the senior brother ”: two petrol motors in volume 1,3 L (75 and 86 h.p.), 1,5-liter capacity 103 h.p., plus a 68-strong diesel engine in volume 1,4 L. So for storm dynamics to wait it is not necessary, even despite of improved in comparison with five-banger car aerodynamics. But all three engines differ rather moderate appetite.
The machine will be accessible in three updatings. Shortly Japanese will offer for three-door “two” a sports package with hardly other external furnish and a sports sterring wheel.
Ikuo Maeda: By development of a new hatchback our engineers have staked on weight reduction, unlike the majority of manufacturers which only make heavier the new models and concept cars. We managed to keep the equipped weight of the car on a mark less than 1000 kg ”. For the compact car, you see, it is very worthy parameter.
In a word, at Japanese very nice machine has turned out. One but: behind rather small, and the luggage carrier is secondary - only 250 L (787 L at the combined back seats). Besides, modest and frankly plastic interior of bright emotions does not cause. Probably, designers started with such calculation, that motorists on advantage will estimate controllability of a novelty.
