For some time seems to have fallen into the list of those who go without return ticket, but while there, many still love the Dodge Viper, and many will also wonder when it’s gone. Because there are not many cars like this, that seems to exist solely to give satisfaction to those who really know how to exploit them. There is clearly a car for any driver. Among other things it unforgiving and that I say I’m still paying ridiculous that I did with him when making a U on the avenue, I accelerated the engine in the middle of the curve and the top was simply inevitable and monumental. Obviously, some tires that are occupied by a curve, you cannot pull over the herd of horses that displays the Viper engine.

It is the only American sports car under the hood brings a 10-cylinder power plant in V, with 8.4 liters of displacement that spring 600 horsepower. Transmission, how could it be otherwise, is manual and has six speeds. If someone is looking for fuel economy, the Viper is certainly the wrong car, because a gallon was barely enough to 13 miles in the city and 22 highways with a very conservative management and some luck.
Viper’s appearance is unmistakable, with a few strokes unmistakably reminiscent of the immortal lines leading to the tireless Bat mobile Batman in his crusade against crime. Viper comes in two versions, sedan and convertible, and unlike other models, the convertible is a few hundred dollars cheaper, with a suggested retail price of $ 90.255 consumer dollars.

Manage this Viper is an extraordinary experience. Not very comfortable, admittedly, in and out of the vehicle are not easy tasks, but once seated at the helm, with his right foot on the accelerator and right hand on the shifter, one feels as if playing the sky with the fingers.

Unlike a gasoline engine, there are no such peaks and troughs of torque. In addition there is no such decline in power as the level rises above the sea in the LEAF as in all electric-drive cars do not. While not a light vehicle, forget the 2.200 pounds immediately, and it is extremely smooth and stable thanks to the batteries located on the floor play an important role the car hitting the floor. Nor does neither the classic pitching between change and shift the transmission, nor the resonance from the engine. Although for safety of pedestrians and motorists neighbors had to be installed one speaker, you can choose between three sounds that imitate the sound of a gasoline engine. It’s as if you drive a golf cart but with a maximum speed of 94 mph and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 11.5 seconds.

The next question is how many miles I can go? LEAF can travel an average of 100 miles with 100% battery charge. This figure may increase or decrease depending on driving conditions. As a rule combustion engine is the same, faster or if you’re aggressive with the throttle greater consumption of energy in this case the battery meter will drop quickly if you exceed. Other factors that influence travel miles are the number of passengers traveling, driving uphill and the use of air conditioning, which will decrease performance. This makes it clear that the LEAF is a city dweller’s car use. If you’re 100 miles compare with a conventional car, driving the LEAF would be like going on a Plate with a quarter tank of gas.

Space and cabin configuration is similar to the Versa, with great range and seating for five passengers. Being a car with zero emissions and environmentally friendly is also reflected in the interior and the plastics that make up the dashboard and door panels are recycled, mainly from the fascia of scrap vehicles, but will not means that the quality looks demerits, as ever to see and touch them you realize it. The digital instrument panel is divided into two zones: at the top we can see the speedometer, while below it displays all the information from the battery, load, performance, range and temperature, to be aware at all times of consumption, distance and time left to go. In the center of the board find a screen that shows the browser will show the nearest refueling stations and destinations that will allow us our autonomy, in addition to equipping radio audio system with CD/MP3 player and auxiliary input. Another technology that adds this LEAF is access to various features through the phone phone-call-to control the air conditioner and check the status of the battery.

Being an electric car does not mean sloppy security. This Nissan LEAF has traction control, ventilated disc brakes, with ABS-Four-wheel, front air bags and curtain and reverse camera.

When lowering the price of batteries for electric vehicles cost much less as one third of the price comes from batteries. As demand increases the price will fall. The most important thing is that the first step as he and the rest is coming. The last question is what happens to the batteries end their life, electricity costs and pollution.

The IAA is still half a year away, but the Audi RS5 not wants to go hiding in the bushes. In this guise has been caught once again on the Nürburgring, just wearing a jacket that only gives to disguise the design of the rear. The entries are front view, large 20 “wheels (hinting equally impressive brakes) and oval exhaust themselves in the range. Looking after the windshield you see a pair of Ricardo, but only be there for the duration of the tests the prototype.

As for the engine, remains a mystery. It has been rumored out there that could use a block V10, maybe the same 5.2 L 580 hp and mounted on the RS6, but with less horses to the stables can breathe without trouble. We assume that there are still a few months to clear up this mystery. The photos, in any case and have the latest update to our gallery.

A YouTube user named Marchettino video has published a novel, in which you can hear the sound first person issuing the V12 biturbo engine of the super exotic Pagan Hoary.

Using a camera on the rear of the car, looking toward the exhaust, giving us an excellent perspective.

Recall that the Pagan Hoary is the latest creation of the Italian boutique house, which replaces the Pagani Zonda respected.

The Huayra has an engine developed by Mercedes-Benz AMG 7.0-liter V12 biturbo engine, which develops an output of 700 horsepower, mated to a seven-speed sequential transmission.

Is the price of Huayra Pagani? All the way from $ 1.35 billion.
