■ 2011 Suzuki GSX-R 1000

The Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 is a motorcycle that has been fine-tuned and developed on racetracks and on asphalt around the world. It’s a machine that resolutely defines dominance, having won an incredible seven straight AMA Super-bike Championships in a row. With its class-leading engine, chassis and suspension technology, there’s no question that the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 is the undisputed super-bike of our era.

New for 2011: The Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 is offered in a new Metallic Triton Blue/Glass Spash White finish with updated graphics as well as a Solid Black/Metallic Mat Titanium Silver.

The class-leading Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 is powered by a 999cc four-cylinder powerplant with a bore and stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm and a compression ratio of 12.8:1. This engine delivers enhanced throttle response across the entire RPM range and offers high potential for racetrack performance. The engine is built with high-quality titanium valves, forged pistons and shot-peened conrods.

The combustion chamber accommodates large intake and exhaust valves. Intake valve size is 31mm and exhaust valve size is 25mm. The engine’s oversquare bore and stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm gives it specifically increased performance at high RPM. The compact engine allowed Suzuki engineers to incorporate a shorter wheelbase design with a longer swingarm for improved racetrack performance.

Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)-plated cylinders integrated into the upper crankcase helps reduce friction, improve heat transfer, increase durability and provides better ring seal. The SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 system uses two butterfly valves in each throttle body barrel, the primary valve controlled by the rider via the twist grip and the secondary valve controlled by the ECM.

Each throttle body feeds two cylinders and each throttle body barrel carries two ultra-fine-atomization, 12 hole injectors that produce a fine fuel mist for more complete combustion. This ultimately reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. In addition, the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2011 is outfitted with Iridium spark plugs, which produce a strong spark for efficient combustion.

Instruments include a silver-ringed analog tachometer with LCD speedometer. LCD readouts include odometer, dual trip meters, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure warning indicator, gear position indicator, lap timer/stopwatch, S-DMS setting indicator and bar-graph indicating the instrument lighting level, or brightness.

The edgy and clean GSX-R1000 styling incorporates fairing and bodywork details aimed at reducing turbulence and drag. Attention to rider comfort includes a carefully shaped seat and adjustable footpegs (the footpegs remain three-way adjustable – 14mm in a horizontal and vertical range). A tailsection cover is also included for solo rides or track days. The capacity of sculpted fuel tank is 17.5 liters (4.6 US gal). Only the Californian spec. model has a 16.5 liters (4.4 US gal) fuel tank.

2013 BMW i8 Concept

BMW are preparing supercar with the name i8, which wont be powered by a diesel-electric hybrid like the Vision Efficient Dynamics concept. BMW i8 is expected to be introduced in 2013 and it will be powered by a petrol engine. The recently announced ‘i’ sub-brand from BMW will launch the i8 supercar in 2013 but it will come with a petrol engine instead.

Firsly, the idea was for a 1.5 liter three-cylinder diesel and an electric motor like the configuration in Vission Efficient Dynamics concept, but now BMW will stick to petrol variant.

The exterior design features a flat silhouette, with sweeping lines, taut surfaces and precise edges that form an extremely sculptural and organic surface structure. The individual vehicle components are clearly visible from the outside, the black and transparent Life module setting itself apart from the silver-colored body components around it.

The precise lines along its flanks and hallmark BMW i “stream flow” also give the BMW i8 Concept a strong sense of powering forward. A large, transparent greenhouse lends the exterior a feeling of lightness and highlights the efficiency of the vehicle.

The BMW i8 Concept’s doors swing upwards like wings: below them, the silver-colored layer moulds the car’s flanks into a powerful wedge shape, opening out from the door sills towards the rear.

BMW will offer both RWD and AWD versions, with the hybrid version is offered only as an AWD model. Engine will be mated with a new dual clutch transmission and supercar future will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. The company has promised 58 MPG fuel economy and autonomy of 400 kilometers. The bad news, though, is that the top speed will be limited to only 155 mph, but we believe the tuner will have something to say about it.

A blue flourish accentuates the dynamic presence of the sills. Together, the bonnet and door sill sculpting emphasize the BMW i8 Concept’s forward- surging stance, and their smooth lines imbue the car with a touch of lightness. At the front, a number of different levels interact with one another, while the expressive surface treatment exudes dynamic verve and advertises the car’s sporting potential.

The full-LED headlights of the BMW i8 Concept are designed as two U-shaped configurations.

A black, semi-transparent “V” rises out of the hood just behind the kidney grille, opening out towards the windscreen and guiding the eye to the electric motor below.

The tail lights in horizontal design, are integrated into the upper layer of the rear and share the signature U-shape of the BMW i light concept. The transparent surfaces in the doors and roof give the exterior and interior design of the BMW i8 Concept the appearance of merging into one another. The colour concept and underlying structure of the BMW i8 Concept interior closely mimic those of the BMW i3 Concept.

The i8 Concept features a plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines a 96 kW / 250 Nm electric motor with a 164 kW/220 hp turbocharged three-cylinder gasoline engine developing up to 300 Nm and 300 Nm of torque driving the rear axle. Together, the two drive units allow the i8 to reach a top speed limited to 250 km/h (155 mph), to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds while achieving a fuel consumption in the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp).

The BMW i8 Concept can also run purely on electric power, with a driving range of approximately 35 kilometres (20 miles). The battery can be fully recharged in two hours at a standard power socket. http://www.carbodydesign.com/2011/08/bmw-i8-concept/

2012 Ferrari Racing concept for Le Mans

This vehicle is Ferrari Racing concept for Le Mans in 2012, which is designed by Sasha Selipanovym. This Ferrari isn’t like any of the older models.


Sasha Selipanovym started work on the basic elements like the location of the engine. He designed intakes and ducts that are dictated by functionality. Hence here comes the modern, logical yet a perfectly thought out car that doesn’t fits well into the aesthetics of Ferrari.

The bottom line and functions of this machine have been designed without adhering to the rules taken into consideration while making sports prototypes. Lots of elements are borrowed from the F1 cars and the making of this design is marked with herculean effort to find out in the books as to how these parts function.

The concept has been developed for the race at Le Mans in 2012. And the concept has been designed on entirely different lines than the styles or Mazda Furai or the Citroen GT wherein aesthetics strongly predominates over function. source: http://www.luanpa net/ferrari-racing-concept-for-le-mans

The 2013 BMW i3 and i8 concepts

The 2013 BMW unveils new i3 and revamped i8 concepts. BMW's been teasing us with its vision for electric motoroing for years, and today, folks, the trend continues. The German automaker has unveiled two concepts from its upcoming i sub-brand: the city-dwelling i3 and a rehashed version of its i8.

This is the first time we've officially seen the smaller of the two, as the car formerly known as the Megacity had only been spied in an official render and during routine testing at the arctic circle.

It'll haul four peeps with its 150km range (around 100 miles) and accelerate from 0-60mph in around 8 seconds. As for those with range anxiety, the German company will soothe such fears with an optional range-extending motor dubbed "REx."

2013 BMW i3 and i8 concepts

Either variant could land in your garage in 2013, where you'll be able top them up in 6 hours with a standard socket, or up to eighty percent in an hour if you're rocking a spiffy high capacity charger. The i8, which you'll recall for its radical aerodynamic design and hybrid diesel-electric drivetrain, has received a bevy of aerodynamic tweaks and junked its oil burner, opting for a gasoline one instead.

Engine swap aside, the sporty coupé apparently drinks only 2.7 liters per 100km -- 87 mpg (!) for yanks -- which is unreal in a car that'll accelerate to 62mph in 4.6 seconds. Sound too good to be true? We'll have to wait until 2014 to see if München can make good on those promises, but in the meantime feel free to peruse the galleries, videos, and PR after the break.

Cheap Car Insurance in Canada

Tips on how to pay less for car insurance in Canada:

Let's face the reality, car insurance in Canada is the most expensive insurance in the world and there are several reasons why it might be but it doesn't have to be that way. The following will give you some tips on how you can pay less for your car insurance premiums.

Higher Deductible = Lower Premiums
One of the easiest ways to save money on car insurance is to have a higher deductible. If you don't know what "deductible" means, in a nutshell, it's the amount of money you are willing to pay, to your insurance supplier, if you get into an accident to cover for your part of the damages. As an example, let's say you get into an accident and the damages are evaluated at $3000.00, if you have a deductible of $250, you will pay the Insurance company that amount and they will pay $2750.00 to the body shop to have your car fixed. It might be tempting to go for a lower deductible but the truth is the lower the deductible the higher your premiums will be. The common deductible for the average person is $250 but if you can increase your deductible to $500 or even to $1000 you will save a lot. To have an exact idea of how much less you would pay, always call your insurance agent as there is no Online solution that can provide an accurate estimate.

Drive Safely - Another way to save on car insurance is to have a clean driver record. The main reason why young drivers pay more for auto insurance is because they are not experienced therefore represent a higher risk to have an accident than older experienced driver. In addition, the gender will influence how much you will pay for car insurance in Canada, actually it's also the same case in the U.S.A. Young women will pay less than young men because, statistically young women drive more safely than young men. It goes without saying that if you drive carelessly and get speeding tickets one after another or get into accidents your insurance premiums will sky rocket, whether you are a man or a woman. In some cases, insurers might refuse to insure you because of that.
 
Sport car VS Regular - Another tip on how you will save on car insurance cost is whether you will drive a sport car or a regular car. Bigger engines means faster cars which translate to higher risk of having speeding tickets and accidents. If you are tempted to go for that sporty new car you might want to call your insurer first and see how much more it will cost you. Especially if your driver record is not clean you're in for a "bad" surprise. Just to be clear, driving a Sport car doesn't necessarily mean driving a Ferrari it means that most regular cars has a sport version so be advised of that when buying or leasing a new or used car.

Cheap or Luxurious Cars - The total value of your vehicle will also determine the price of your car insurance premium. For example: if you purchase a $50,000 car you will pay more for insurance than a $25,000 car. If you wonder why this might be, the reason is simple; In case of an accident, it will cost more for replacement parts to your insurance supplier if you own the $50k car than the $25K car. In a nutshell, do your due diligence and call for a quote to your insurance agent before committing, the difference in pricing might in thousand's of dollars per year so be careful.

To conclude, Car Insurance in Canada is mandatory whether you own a business or as an individual. As we saw in the above article: gender, age, price and type of vehicle will influence the cost of car insurance. Also, the deductible amount will greatly change the price whether you choose a higher or a lower deductible. Car Insurance might be confusing but it doesn't have to be, always consult with your insurance agent, to get a clear picture of your options.

Lexus LF-Gh Hybrid Concept

For this concept, Lexus designers studied characteristics that are often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together. The captivating design of the LF-Gh concept examines the possibility of balancing what are normally opposing qualities, such as style and functionality.

Lexus has decided to pull the wraps off its LF-Gh – which stands for Lexus Future Grand-Touring Hybrid – ahead of its official debut at the upcoming New York Auto Show. Interestingly, Lexus itself describes the styling of its latest conceptual hybrid sedan as something of a contradiction in terms. Says Kengo Matsumoto, general manager of Toyota’s Lexus Design Division:

Expect such offbeat styling details to make an appearance on future Lexus production models, including what the company is calling its “aggressive and bold spindle-shaped front grille.”

As a grand-touring sedan, Lexus says the rear-wheel-drive LF-Gh will offer plenty of room for “multiple occupants at higher speeds on long-distance drives.” We don’t have any real detailed photos of the car’s interior, but the automaker claims it hints at “an all-new, future Lexus interior” that incorporates a new three-dimensional analog clock, whatever that means.

For this concept, Lexus designers studied characteristics that are often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together. The captivating design of the LF-Gh concept examines the possibility of balancing what are normally opposing qualities, such as style and functionality.
