Understanding the BMW i Concept

BMW has launched the Project i, which aims at introducing a new breed of cars into the market. The new line of cars features a developed design, and the cars are said to be fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. The new line of cars will redefine the concept of mobility. The goal is to combine efficiency and dynamics. However, on the arrival of these vehicles, they are expected to be really expensive. In 2013, BMW is expected to release BMW i3 and BMW i8. And in 2015, it is said to release BMW i4 and BMW i5.

BMW continuously improves their vehicles, just like all the other automobile manufacturing companies do. BMW's Project i is currently designing lightweight cars with modern aerodynamic and fuel-efficient features. New automotive technologies are being developed to come up with high performance cars that are environmentally friendly. It seems as though that the quest of car companies to come up with fuel-efficient cars is a never-ending business. The fuel-efficient tagline will always be expected in the next generation of cars. In fact, today's new cars do boast lower fuel consumption for the same mileage than older cars.

Aside from fuel-efficiency, the new cars also have the so-called electric mobility. BMW i cars can be powered by their batteries, just as the BMW i3 has been reported to be able to run on battery alone. Expect that the BMW i5 specs will include an electric mobility feature too. This removes the need for gas, but some people may miss the advantage of gas-driven car engines. The BMW i3, for instance, is going to be first premium electric automobile in the world. Its new design will change the way people drive cars. The i8, on the other hand, combines both fuel engine and battery power, probably because it's a sports car, which cannot rely solely on battery power to run at faster speeds.

Of course, other car manufacturers will not be left out in the competition. People will have to see a new variety of cars in the future that can run on battery power. An all-electric car seems good for urban areas. It would lessen the problem with vehicle emissions, considering that electric consumption does not cause the release of greenhouse gases.

BMW introduces the LifeDrive concept, which changes the architecture of future BMW cars. The new cars feature separate modules. One is the Drive Module, which is made of an aluminum frame that forms the solid structure of the automobile. The Drive module is where the battery and drive system can be found. The LifeDrive architecture incorporates the battery into the car's structure. The battery is the heaviest device in a car, and its placement affects the center of gravity of the car. A low center of gravity gives vehicles a good stability while on the road.

After the Drive Module, there is the Life Module, which simply is the section of the car where the passengers sit. The passenger cell is made from a lightweight material, specifically carbon fiber reinforced plastic or CFRB. This material is as strong as steel but it is not as heavy. The lightweight materials used in the overall construction of the BMW i cars help increase their efficiency.

2014 Honda NSX

2014 Honda NSX- The Acura NSX was first launched in 1991, stunning the world it can stand toe-to-toe with models such as the Ferrari 328. Unfortunately, production lasted only until 2005 – the sales were too low. There were rumours that new model will come in 2009, but due to economic crisis, this was not possible. The next NSX will come out as the 2014 Honda NSX.

It was first rumored that the future NSX would be packed with a V10 engine, but Acura recently patented a V6 engine which outputs 400HP. The future Acura would be getting a supercharged version of this 3.5-liter V6 engine, which can deliver around 450HP. Expect the engine to give the NSX the ability to accelerate to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 200mph.

For its design, it is way too early to speculate and there is a high probability that the engineers do not even have a final design for it since the release is about 3 to 4 years away. While the old Acura targeted models such as the Ferrari 328, the NSX successor would likely be pitted against cars such as the Lexus LF-A and the Nissan GT-R, which would be likely offered in hybrid variants by the time the NSX arrives.

According to Takanobu Ito, Honda President, the company is working very diligently on the future model and there are chances it will be offered as a hybrid car. The 2014 Honda NSX will be available in 2014 with a price of $150,000.

2012 Volvo S60

Following in the tracks of the all-new Volvo S60 and V60, Volvo Cars’ chassis experts are now taking the next step on the road to car enthusiast paradise.
The result is the Volvo S60 and V60 R-Design – even sportier, even more dynamic and even more exciting.

‘Refining a chassis is a bit like being an athlete looking to break new records. Once you’re beaten one record, you’re immediately focused on the next. In the R-Design chassis we’ve sharpened the steering, the agility and the solid overall impression still further compared with the dynamic chassis in the all-new S60 and V60,’ says Stefan Sällqvist, manager of vehicle dynamics at Volvo Cars. He adds:
‘The driving experience should be so connected and compact that it feels as though the car has been milled out of a single block of aluminium.’

After developing the all-new S60 and V60, which are Volvo Cars’ most dynamic models ever, the chassis team focused on further refining a number of details.
‘The challenge was to boost the dynamics without making the chassis feel raw. If the chassis is too firm, even smooth tarmac can feel bumpy. We wanted a distinct yet plush feel.’ relates Stefan Sällqvist.

While it’s probably a title that Volvo doesn’t want to get rid of, the car brand known for being one of the safest in the world is taking a step in a new direction with a pretty good aesthetic and performance upgrade for the S60.

Under its performance line, R-Design, the Swedish automaker gave their resident sedan a welcome change on both its looks and engine output. Together with the XC60 R-Design, the S60 R-Design made its debut at the New York Auto Show and is set to go on sale later this summer.
