Hyundai Blue2 Concept


Hyundai has just unveiled the all-new Hyundai Blue2 Concept car at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show in Korea. 2011 Hyundai Blue2 Concept aims to satisfy all the senses of future drivers, including the air they breathe. Hyundai Blue2 concept is powered by a fuel cell electric system that delivers a stack power of 90kW (1.65kW/L) and fuel economy of 34.9km/l.

The concept is the Korean automaker's first sedan-style FCEV. Hyundai did not disclose production plans for the Blue2, which it says is read as "Blue Square," but it appears to be focusing more on hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles than pure electric vehicles at this point. Hyundai says that the name comes from a combination of the company's "Blue Drive" and the number 2 from H2, the symbol for hydrogen gas.

Aesthetically speaking, the Blue2 Sedan Concept has an exterior whose design language is being described as ‘Intersected Flow’ with other external features complementing the contoured form of the car, including the LCD screen panels on both the front and back, side cameras in place of the standard side mirrors, a roof camera, and automatic opening doors.

Hyundai to Showcase New Thinking at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show

  • Hyundai unveils next-gen FCEV sedan concept ‘Blue2' and Sonata Hybrid
  • Cutting-edge eco-friendly and telematics technologies show Hyundai's future
  • Separate booth displays Hyundai's latest commercial vehicle technology

Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea's largest automaker, showcased its latest `new thinking' on products, technologies and services to the world at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show, which opened today under the theme of ‘Evolution, Green Revolution on Wheels.'

Hyundai unveiled its latest eco-friendly creation, the Blue2 (Read as "Blue square") concept vehicle, the company's first sedan-style Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) powered by hydrogen. The automaker also introduced its first gasoline-hybrid vehicle, the Sonata Hybrid, to its home market. Most importantly, Hyundai applied its new brand direction, "New Thinking. New Possibilities.", throughout its exhibition, including its customer-oriented booth design, entertaining displays and cutting edge future technologies.

"Hyundai's goal is not to be the biggest car company, but the most loved. We want to be a reliable partner to our customers, supporting their happiness, rather than a company that pursues its own interests," said Steve S. Yang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor. "We will ceaselessly introduce world-class products of the best quality to overcome the difficult market environment and turn it into an opportunity, while modestly listening to the voice of the customer." In particular, Hyundai will focus on "improving quality, creating new values through new thinking, and developing advanced eco-friendly technologies to contribute to a greener society," Yang said.

Blue2

Hyundai Motor staged a world premiere of its new concept car, Blue2 (codenamed HND-6), a mid-size FCEV which shows a blueprint for future sedans. The name ‘Blue2' is a combination of Hyundai's sub eco-brand ‘Blue Drive' and the number `2' from H2, the symbol for hydrogen gas.

Aiming at gaining early leadership of the FCEV market, Blue2 is powered by a fuel cell electric system that delivers a stack power of 90kW(1.65kW/L) and fuel economy of 34.9km/?. The Blue2 is materialized in a sporty and luxurious style, a combination of futuristic, flowing designs and eco-friendly features. The Blue2 is equipped with low-resistance tires and alloy wheels which are designed to improve aerodynamic performance, while the car's interior design encompasses a futuristic look by using eco-friendly new materials.

Hyundai's concept keywords for the exterior design are ‘Intersected Flow,' featuring innovative and dynamic designs. The vehicle's condition is visible via unique and futuristic images on the exterior of the car through outside LED screen panels, which are located on both the front and rear of the car. Blue2 also features a welcome system which recognizes the driver, while an automatic opening door system enhances the driver's convenience. Conventional side mirrors are replaced by side cameras and a roof camera, offering a state-of-the-art driving environment.

The exterior designs flow inside the vehicle, with asymmetrically-designed dashboards and doors to optimize a driver's convenience and add emotional value. Wider seats enable people to get in and out of the vehicle more comfortably.

Hyundai combined the cluster and center fascia, applying an advanced Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) monitor and ultra-light tempered glass, called Gorilla® Glass, providing more accurate and vivid graphic information. The infotainment system is operated by a Motion Sensor Moustick, a haptic wheel and motion sensor that respond to the driver's touch and hand movements, respectively, giving drivers a new experience.

Blue2 aims to satisfy all the senses of future drivers, including the air they breathe: A cluster ionizer freshens the air inside the vehicle, while antibacterial genuine leather with leaf-shaped patterns, called ‘eco-graphic perforation,' enhances an eco-friendly look and feel.

Sonata Hybrid

Hyundai also unveiled its first gasoline hybrid model, the Sonata Hybrid, to its home market. The Sonata Hybrid, which made its world debut at the 2010 New York International Auto Show, also encompasses Hyundai's new thinking, as Hyundai developed the world's first full parallel hybrid system and applied lithium-ion polymer batteries to a hard type hybrid model for the first time in the world.

Equipped with a Nu 2.0 Hybrid engine, a 6-speed hybrid automatic transmission and a 30kW hard type hybrid electric motor, the Sonata hybrid delivers a peak output of 191ps (engine: 150ps, electric motor: 41ps) and the best fuel economy in its class at 21.0km/? (All specifications limited to the Korean market).

The Sonata Hybrid, which is based on Hyundai's best-selling mid-size sedan, differs from the gasoline model with its dynamic `hexagonal grille.' The vehicle also has an `Eco Guide Gauge' on its cluster to help drivers build more economical driving habits. The Sonata hybrid will go on a sale in the Korean market in the first half of this year.

i40, Curb, and In-Vehicle Technologies

Along with Blue2 and the Sonata hybrid, Hyundai introduced i40, a mid-size wagon exclusively developed for the European market, which made its world debut at Geneva in March. Hyundai also displayed Curb (codenamed HCD-12), a compact Urban Activity Vehicle (UAV) concept unveiled at Detroit in January. Curb, targeted at the next generation of Hyundai buyers, is also a test bed for future Hyundai in-vehicle connectivity technology.

In order to promote its advanced eco-friendly technologies, Hyundai built a ‘Blue Drive Zone' at its booth, which displays its first Full Speed Electric Vehicle (FSEV) BlueOn and its electric bicycle ECCOV. Hyundai's most advanced powertrain technology will also be on display - some for the first time - including its 6-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) and 8-speed auto transmission, as well as its 1.6 Gamma Turbo GDi, Nu 2.0 GDi and Nu 2.0 CVVL (Continuously Variable Valve Lift) engines.

The ECCOV (Eco Community Vehicle), introduced at Geneva in March, boasts a maximum speed of 30 km/h and can travel as much as 50 km on a single charge in electric mode.

A total of five new future in-vehicle technologies introduced at the 2011 CES early this year were also on display: Smart Connectivity System, which allows drivers to connect their smart phones and tablet PCs with the vehicle; Motion Sensor Moustick, which recognizes the driver's hand movements through sensors to control the car's audio and navigation system; Dynamic Cluster, an LCD gauge and information system that is driver-customizable; Car Browser System and Web Platform, a fully functional Internet terminal; and Multifunctional Safety Vision System, a four-camera, 360-degree view around the vehicle.

Commercial Vehicles

Hyundai Motor set up a separate booth for its commercial vehicles under the concept of ‘Enjoyable Sensation Truck & Bus,' displaying three new models: The New Trago 27t Dump, Mega space-cab Tractor and the 2011MY Universe.

In order to promote its future eco-friendly technology, Hyundai's commercial vehicle booth also created a ‘Green zone,' showcasing its electric bus, diesel hybrid mega truck, hydrogen fuel cell bus cutaway and a new eco-friendly power system technology.

In particular, ‘Elec-City' is a zero-emission electric bus developed in-house. A test fleet of Elec-City will be operated in some metropolitan bus routes starting this year, while Hyundai plans to mass produce the buses starting in 2013. During the G20 Seoul Summit in 2010, Elec-City was used as the official shuttle bus for organizers and officials.

Equipped with three 100kW motors, Elec-City delivers a peak output which is equivalent to a combustion engine's 402ps and maximum speed of 100km/h. It can run 120 km on a single charge.

Hyundai also displayed two new commercial vehicle technologies: The Commercial Vehicle Telematics System, which collects real-time data from the vehicle to enable more efficient freight transportation management; and the 3.5t AMT system, which allows drivers to enjoy the convenience of an automatic transmission, with the fuel efficiency and power of a manual transmission.

New Thinking for Customers

Hyundai's new thinking could be seen in its booth layout and services, as well. By reversing the conventional thinking that motor shows are for cars, Hyundai brought a new concept that motor shows are for ‘visitors,' which means everything should be designed to maximize their enjoyable experience.

Hyundai's new booth enables visitors to comfortably view the cars, while the entire space on the second floor of the booth is used as a lounge where customers can relax and get a view of the whole booth. Hyundai is also providing FCEV shuttle bus services to and from the parking lot to the exhibition hall. Staff members at the booth will provide product information using tablet PCs.

As part of its efforts to evolve from simply an auto manufacturer that provides transportation to an automaker that creates an auto culture, Hyundai presented its virtual-driving Veloster game machine, as well as a 4D theater showing ‘Robocar POLI,' a 3D animation for children presented by Hyundai Motor, Roi Visual and EBS.


2011 Seoul Auto Show: Kia Naimo electric concept【Video】


The Kia Naimo Electric Concept car has just been unveiled at the 2011 Seoul Motor Show in Korea.

The Naimo's name is derived from the Korean word 'Ne-mo' which means 'square shape'. And this is one concept which isn't running away from its boxy design. It features no B-pillar and rear-hinged doors.

Kia would not confirm any production plans for the car, saying in a statement that it "explores the practicalities of introducing a zero-emissions, five-door, four-seater city car into a future niche market."

With a 150kph (93.2mph) top speed, four-seat accommodation, and a high air pressure windscreen wiper system, with external rear view mirrors replaced by cameras, there is plenty of gadgetry to help reduce aerodynamic drag and improve performance.

Along with the 125 mile range (which would put the car ahead of the 100 mile per charge Nissan LEAF), Kia says the Naimo can be recharged to 80 per cent of its capacity within 25 minutes using a 50kW quick charge, with a full-charge taking five and a half hours using a conventional outlet.

A twin-pack 27 kWh Lithium Ion Polymer battery, located under the boot floor, gives the vehicle a driving range of 200 km on a single charge. To enhance range, the showcar is fitted with special low-drag 20-inch alloy wheels.

SUCCESSFUL RESUSCITATION by CSR Automotive


After several years of hesitation, VW - not least because of pressure from the customers - has won through to reanimation of its warm Mediterranean wind Scirocco. Good news, because many professional tuners have in the meantime put into action their version of a still further perfected Scirocco. Thus, the company CSR Automotive from Nurnberg is in a good company, but it presents a stunning version of the Mediterranean wind that has no parallels.

Originally from the 2009, Scirocco III was equipped with a turbocharged engine with an in-house body kit consisting of a single-frame front grille, side skirts and a rear apron from the O-Line-Design, the upper and lower rear wings, "bad-look" headlight trims and a stainless steel rear silencer with suitable outlets.

The obvious effect is also provided by a partial foil design in carbon-look.

The alpha and omega of any redevelopment continues to be a successful tire / wheel combination that can never be spectacular enough. And now - once again - Schmidt Revolution (www.FELGE.de) from Bad Segeberg comes into play. Thanks to its rims Cirrus with carbon-look parts (wheel assembly costs 3400 euro) in the dimensions of 8.5x20" with 235/30 ZR20 tires from Toyo at the front or 10.5x20" with 285/25 ZR20 - at the rear axles, Schmidt comes near to the ideal of "perfect footwear" for the Scirocco.

There is only the pious hope to sit in the sports chair and go on. That is quite feasible ...

Bentley faster, more powerful than ever drop will be available this summer from $ 280,400
FlexFuel technology becomes standard on all models of the 2011 Continental, Bentley reaffirming ongoing environmental commitment to make all its cars by 2012 biofuels compatible
(. March 31, 2010 New York, NY USA) Bentley Motors is introducing its fastest, most powerful ever drop-top – the new 2011 Continental Convertible Supersports – during New York Motor Show earlier this week. The latest addition to the Continental model range features a 621 horsepower, twin-turbo W12 engine that is capable of running on both gasoline and E85 ethanol, making it powerful and environmentally conscious.
The new muscle Supersports four-seat convertible will be sold from $ 280,400, Bentley when it arrives in stores this summer. Bentley unequivocally in its design and craftsmanship, the interior represents a dramatic re-interpretation of luxury Bentley. glossy carbon fiber, leather and Alcantara ™ “Soft Grip” create a unique atmosphere, with a distinctly sporty and contemporary style.
The entire range of Continental models 2011, including the new Convertible Supersports will be able to run on both gasoline and E85 ethanol or any combination thereof, reaffirming the continued commitment of Bentley to make all their cars compatible biofuel in 2012. Pioneer Coupe Supersports, this technology offers a FlexFuel reduction of up to 70 percent of CO2 emissions on a well-to-wheel ‘basis, a measure of the net contribution of a fuel into the atmosphere, not only emissions of greenhouse escape.
“The new Supersports Convertible is the most powerful drop-top we’ve ever produced,” said Christophe Georges, president and COO of Bentley Motors, Inc. “It combines extreme power with FlexFuel technology pioneer, now shared with all Continental models , reflecting the continued commitment of Bentley motoring more environmentally friendly



The Continental Convertible Supersports
The new Supersports Continental Convertible is a car that should be conducted to understand. Behind the wheel, it is clear that a Bentley Supersports is a “fusion of extremes” – the ultimate in extreme performance, everyday practicality and luxury unparalleled craftsmanship.
Bentley Supersports program began as an ‘under the radar “project exploring the possibilities of weight reduction on the Continental GT coupé, but with more power and torque. The experimental design largely crystallized into a short program new official car, moved passion and enthusiasm of a small group of engineers and designers in Bentley. Now, the Supersports Convertible received the same focus and the results are equally dramatic.
“Stability” extreme “Bentley now has a new occupant in the form of Convertible Supersports,” said Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn, member of the Board, Engineering. “It is intentional and a car as powerful as the Coupé, but with the pride of the roof down motoring.”
FlexFuel technology introduced on all 2011 models Continental
FlexFuel technology, pioneered in the Supersports Continental Coupe in 2009, is now extended to the whole range of Continental in 2011, including new Supersports Convertible. The power unit 6 liter W12 now has the technology for gasoline, E85 ethanol or any mixture of the two fuels – all from a single tank.
The bioethanol is blended with gasoline in a variety of percentages ranging from E10 (10 percent ethanol) to the best known, E85, a ratio of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline to ensure the ability to start cold.
Bioethanol has other unique engineering challenges compared to gasoline, due to its chemical composition and characteristics. biofuel E85 has a very high octane rating of 105, but a lower energy content that requires a 30 percent increase in the rate of flow of motor fuel.
This required a complete overhaul of the fuel system to identify and, if necessary, replacement of components deemed strong enough for the properties of ethanol.
Increased fuel flow is obtained through a non-return fuel system, twin bombs variable fuel flow and a new closed circuit design with fuel rail pressure sensor. For all the fuel system o-rings, seals, gaskets and tubes are new and the new valve materials and coatings hardened valve seat provide an additional lubrication. New spark plugs with a wider range of combustion heat to allow slower.
A sensor in the fuel supply system detects the proportion of the mix in real time, and changes the engine mapping to ensure the power, torque and emission levels remain the same regardless of the fuel used.
FlexFuel offers the possibility of a reduction of up to 70 percent in net CO2 emissions on a ‘well to wheel “basis, calculated by adding the CO2 emitted during the process of extracting and refining (” good “) with the CO2 released when fuel is burned during motoring (the “wheel”).
Biofuels can be obtained from sugar cane or soybeans, or “second generation” sources such as agricultural residues and forest residues. As biofuels are not derived from fossil fuels, the CO2 released during combustion is reabsorbed by plants during photosynthesis, creating a cycle of continuous power

Aston Martin V8 Vantage S is instantly recognizable as a true Aston Martin, which is characterized by its position determined transmit its agility and performance. Later, a new front bumper houses completed in less carbon fiber in perfect alignment with a higher intake of air feeding the engine and front brakes. The divider combined with the work “pull” broad platform coverage in harmony to provide additional downforce at speed. New 19-inch V-spokes of style are available as standard, while a choice of 10 radio option lightweight forged wheels, further reducing unsprung weight. A new rear bumper and side skirts extends the optical drive.
 

 
Reviews of dynamics are fundamental to the Vantage S, with a fast pace to the shelf as of 15:01, 17:01, compared with the standard car and a larger diameter front brake calipers with new front disc brakes and six-piston. New springs and dampers, wider rear wheels and help with the revision of the chassis. A new Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system specifically tuned for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S along with a new brake module provide features such as hydraulic brake assist (HBA), which provides assistance in emergency braking situations, and Hill Start Assist (HSA). as with Bridgestone tires have been developed to optimize adhesion by increasing the dynamic feeling.
In the center of S Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the new seven-speed Sportshift ™ II automated manual transmission, which offers standard and offers extremely fast gear changes, twenty percent faster than Sportshift ™. The smaller gear ratios and spaced advantage allows optimum torque, which, combined with a shorter gear ratio of 4.182:1 final provides quicker acceleration and more sporty feel. The advantages inherent in a single clutch system reduces weight and complexity significantly in a solution of double clutch. Sportshift ™ II allows the driver to take a higher level of control by modulating the throttle to achieve the desired type of switch gear. In addition, the Vantage S has a sport button that speeds and changing gears allows the driver a more aggressive throttle response while opening the exhaust valves divert most of the engine speed range fully characterize the variant “S”.

 
 The 4.7-liter V8 engine was modified to provide a maximum power of 430 hp (436 hp / 321 kW) at 7,200 rpm and peak torque of 490 Nm (361 lb.ft) at 5,000 rpm represents an increase of 10 hp and 20 nm, respectively, and is represented with a black motor cover. The increase was achieved through an air intake valve and begin aggressive. The air inlet valve opens above 3500 rpm, to allow more airflow to the engine, which helps optimize performance, precisely the right side of the torque curve. spark aggressive strategy uses sophisticated electronics to ignite the fuel in the engine, at the precise moment the law, which allows it to run at its best. You can also recognize higher octane fuel and extract the maximum performance score higher.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage S weighs 1,610 kg (coupe), 30 kg lighter than the standard Vantage for weight optimization of the retransmission Sportshift ™ II and the use of carbon fiber. Cooled by air instead of oil cooling, Sportshift ™ II system takes advantage of removing the oil pump and related accessories save 24 kg more than the conventional six-speed Sportshift ™ system.
As with all Aston Martin Vantage S benefits from near perfect weight balance of 49:51 front to back, due to the placement of the gears in the transverse axis contribute to the excellent dynamics. 
 

 
 Aston Martin V8 Vantage S is still a practice day to day sports car with a load capacity of 300 liters, with convenient opening tailgate shaped coupe, the convertible has a soft top that can be automatically operated by 30 km / h . Vantage work has established itself as one of the most beautiful cars in the world, clearly Aston Martin, elegant and controlled aggression and perfectly proportioned, with a low position on purpose. Aston Martin V8 Vantage S uses the beauty of the Vantage and merges with design tips V12 Vantage tense, suggesting the potential of high performance car. Aston Martin Design Director, Marek Reichman, said: “We sent the V8 Vantage to the gym to give more definition of the ‘S’, and the muscle, resulting in a more attenuated. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage S’ styling largely follows form to provide a shape that caters for the additional needs of the ‘S’ performance variant. From the front, the hand-laid carbon fibre front splitter creates a ground hugging stance hinting at its agility while also providing an increased area to provide the engine and brakes with more air. The splitter works in conjunction with the more pronounced rear deck lid ‘flip’ to create increased down force at speed. From the side, the wider profile sills which are derived from the GT4 race-car programme, contribute to reduced rear lift, and therefore improved high speed stability, by preventing the air which flows along the side of the car from spilling underneath the car.
