Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Coupe Electric

The most powerful AMG high-performance vehicle of all time has four electric motors producing a total output of 552 kW and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm. As a result, the gullwing model has become the world's fastest electrically-powered series production vehicle: the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. A new dimension of driving performance – a convincing synonym for the AMG brand promise are the outstanding driving dynamics which come courtesy of AMG Torque Dynamics as well as torque distribution to individual wheels, which is made possible by means of wheel-selective all-wheel drive. The most "electrifying" gull wing model ever has been developed in-house by Mercedes-AMG GmbH.



The high-voltage battery for the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive is the result of cooperation between Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains in Brixworth (GB). This is an area in which the British Formula 1 experts were able to contribute their extensive know-how with KERS hybrid concepts.Pioneering, visionary, electrifying: the powerful and locally emission-free super sports car with electric drive also embodies the development competence of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. With this innovative and unique drive solution, AMG - as the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz - is demonstrating its technological leadership in this segment. The SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive is aimed at technology-minded super sports car fans who are open to new ideas and enthusiastic about ambitious high-tech solutions for the future of motoring.

Audi Crosslane Coupe Concept

Audi Crosslane Coupe in Paris Motor Show 2012

In the Paris Motor Show 2012 Audi provides a glimpse of the future shape of design, along with automotive and drive concepts, through its Audi crosslane coupé concept car. This vehicle is an entirely new fusion of technology, engineering and design, and provides pointers to the design language of future Audi Q models.

With a Multimaterial Space Frame, the vehicle concept breaks new ground in terms of weight, costs and energy usage over its lifecycle, and is an evolutionary stage of Audi ultra – the lightweight construction principle from Audi.

An innovative and efficient plug-in hybrid drive based on a purpose-designed 1.5-litre three-cylinder TFSI and two electric motors redefines the benchmark, with potential fuel economy returns equivalent to 256.8 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 26 grams per km.

The result is a sophisticated vehicle that will appeal to young customers in particular thanks to its removable roof and the customisable services available under the Audi connect concept.

Innovative : Dual Mode Hybrid Concept

The dual-mode hybrid concept enables different operating modes. From 0 up to 55 km/h (34.18 mph), drive power is supplied solely by the EM 2, which draws the energy it needs primarily from the battery. In serial mode, the combustion engine and the alternator (EM 1) produce electrical energy to support, relieve or substitute the battery should it be discharged.

The electric mode is possible up to 130 km/h (80.78 mph). Starting at about 55 km/h (34.18 mph) the drive system allows the TFSI engine together with the alternator to couple to the drivetrain – in this hybrid mode, the drive sources combine to optimize both efficiency and performance. Above 130 km/h (80.78 mph), the three-cylinder engine becomes the main drive source but the EM 1 can support it if required.

The driver of the Audi crosslane coupé can choose between the “Cruise” and “Race” settings. The “Cruise” mode prioritizes electric driving. The driver does not notice either gear changes or the power source kicking in. When the TFSI is running, its engine speed is always adapted to the road speed – without a “Rubber-Band” effect. The high efficiency of the transmission makes the dual-mode hybrid drive especially efficient in urban traffic.

Range Rover Evoque

                                 
Specifications :

Name : Land Rover - Range Rover Evoque 
Variants : Dynamic, Pure, Prestige
Engine : 2179CC 4 cylinder 16 valve
Transmission : 6 speed automatic
Power : 190 bhp @3500rpm
Torque : 420Nm @1750rpm
Acceleration : 0-100Km/H : 7.6 sec
Top-Speed : 217 Kmph

The all-new Range Rover Evoque takes its inspiration directly from the LRX concept car and drew worldwide acclaim for its exciting new interpretation of classic Range Rover design cues.Smart design, in conjunction with meticulous engineering, allowed the spirit of the LRX concept to be turned into reality without compromising the Range Rover brand core values of interior luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability.Pushing the wheels out to the four corners helps give the car its purposeful stance; the wheel arches are wide, but softly integrated into the body. The carefully sculpted corners dramatically reduce the car's visual overhangs front and rear

The new state-of-the-art 240 bhp 2.0-liter Si4 engine, which combines six-cylinder refinement and performance with four-cylinder fuel economy.The latest powertrain technologies – including advanced turbocharging, high-pressure direct fuel-injection and twin variable valve timing – are combined to provide outstanding drivability, with very strong bottom-end performance and an extremely broad, power band.

The Si4's highly efficient combustion system enables it to achieve significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions when compared to traditional larger capacity engines of the same power.The compact all-aluminum four-cylinder engine is also substantially lighter than conventional engines with a similar output. For example, the 240 bhp 2.0-liter Si4 unit weighs around 88lbs* less than Land Rover's 230 bhp 3.2-liter i6 engine.

Beneath its dramatic exterior, the Range Rover Evoque provides customers with an impeccably crafted luxury cabin, with the same premium quality materials and elegant design expected from a Range Rover interior.The Range Rover Evoque allows customers to specify a lavishly appointed cabin with soft, premium leather providing a luxurious finish to almost every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats, with beautifully tailored twin-needle stitching.In bold contrast to the supple feel of natural hides, authentic metal finishes provide a series of striking highlights. Cool to the touch and exquisitely crafted, the metal finishes are a tactile and visual reminder of the superior interior quality.

The driver adopts a lower seating position than in one of the larger Range Rover models offering a more sporting feel but retaining the important Command Driving Position. The result is more generous headroom than traditionally found in many sporting sedans despite the low profile coupe roof line.
