CC is characterized by having four individual places. Optionally, the rear bench can be ordered in three places. Ceiling height is lower than the Passat what makes a person more than 1.80 m can be comfortable. Front seats closer to the ground by printing more like a coupe, but the operation is difficult and out of the cabin.

[caption id="attachment_1420" align="aligncenter" width="570" caption="DC Avanti Design 1"][/caption]

The producers of India, DC Design, officiated at the opening press room New Delhi, the first supercar called Avanti. The new model is largely based on the competition.

A few days ago launched a teaser Design for the arrival of DC supercar at Auto Exop New Delhi. This was revealed today in the world. Visitors can admire the stand of the brand from January 7.

[caption id="attachment_1419" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="DC Avanti Design 2"][/caption]

It's hard to believe that manufacturers are not inspired by the competition to achieve this Avanti. The front looks like the Audi R8 is primarily due to fires stretched wings.Air Italia Ferrari 458 was detected in the line of the new supercar. Additionally, red stir in Italy after all.

Only the rear seems to come straight from the imagination of DC Design. It is also not likely to appeal to everyone! As for the side vents to recognize the cost of a pencil a few close to the McLaren MP4-12C. The design therefore DC is still seeking his own identity!



Another feature of this model is presented as India's first "super". But under the hood, the Avanti features 2.5-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost simple, genuine Ford, 265 horsepower. A force that can display 0 to 100 km / h in under seven seconds, a figure a little light for the supercar. However, the maximum speed reaches 250 km / h

The second mechanism will be proposed later. It will offer 400 horsepower supercharged V6 through from Honda. Design of DC does not communicate the performance of this version, but should be closer to the philosophy promoted by the car. Whatever the engine, transmission will be performed through a 6-speed automatic transmission with double clutch.



DC Designs are still trapped inside the chassis. It embeds a lot of aluminum parts.Kg weight of the final show on balance, the 1560 Avanti correct result from the competition. Remember however, that the 4-cylinder blocks are lighter than others V8, V10 or V12.

DC Design talks to produce 300 units this before 2013-2014. His project even more ambitious for the future, because the term the brand will sell the 2000 model. The Indians are still going to pay an amount equivalent to € 43 500 for the purchase surpercar. With attractive prices compared to Aventador Lamborghini or Ferrari 458 other Italians.

Far from us to pretend play and media specialists to deliver verdict on the car sharp competition. Let us be clear, this is not to want to admire the discipline, but I never put me back in August in a rally car in motion, even as a passenger. Opportunity for the "test" from various Rally Sport Renault at the end of the Var test has been converted into an opportunity for quick initiation we do share.

France and the rally is a great story that has a tendency to stammer, fault current trends in the community for the safety of ultrasound and / or ecology is leading to a latent power that tends to condemn autophobie demonstration. But the greatest racer in history is still in French, his real may be the best French and French WRC car. In short, if Citroen's Sebastien Loeb and Ogier carrying banners hexagonal WRC, has never been more difficult to start the rally. In the past, most of the kids got their own car garage and participate in regional events, is that while this is true as a small event disappeared crippled by security standards and the pressures they face. Fortunately, our national manufacturers are involved in a rally at the lowest level by offering a car but also by creating (or supporting) championship in which these devices can run. And he who ironically does not appear at the top of the disciplines that are not less active.

[caption id="attachment_1392" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Renault Sport 2"][/caption]

Renault, which is more or less banned from the WRC and S2000 because F1 has not so far from the World Rally. Renault Sport Technologies division continues to offer competitive products they consider their complementary product range and for all, bring more money than the picture. With bosses like Carlos Ghosn, is an aspect that counts! Renault Sport catalog, we find wide rally for the hierarchy was established to accompany the beginning of the first laps until the first time the fastest.

At the end of the Rally du Var, Renault Sport Technologies traditionally held a day of practice for future clients and some journalists by providing two or three cars involved in the test. Thus, near the Muy, a fraction of the 4 km road is closed for this event will be taken under the special charge. In the absence of R2 Twingo Evo, guinea pigs are the Twingo RS R1 which opened the rally in the hands of Jean Ragnotti, Clio RS R3 the Belgian Kris Princen 2011 Trophy winner and second in the Var yesterday, and finally the "big" Manu Guigou Megane RS N4, 10 Rally duVar, the first two-wheel drive.

Four-wheel, off-road and SUV - New 2012

[caption id="attachment_1358" align="aligncenter" width="533" caption="Four wheel road SUV New 2012 1"][/caption]

SUV sport utility vehicle, this car, which outwardly resembles a SUV very pure, but a greater driving comfort, as in a sedan, and increased off-road than a normal car, has. Off-road capability varies between the different models but pretty. SUV model that is intended for the road is also generally a lack of four-wheel drive SUV usual.Furthermore, there are also differences such as fuel consumption, higher weight is higher than many cars. Manufacturers are constantly trying to reduce fuel consumption and to improve comfort and safety on the road, because this is the main difference compared with ordinary cars.

[caption id="attachment_1362" align="aligncenter" width="533" caption="Four wheel road SUV New 2012 2"][/caption]

Off-roader of the new generation should be represented because of the positive differences from the car. You can do this with a high seating position, which allows a better view of the terrain and road traffic, vehicle size more manageable and lower fuel consumption in smaller classes. For small and compact off-roader that may be.Likewise, they must prove themselves but also for the big SUV or SUV right, but what, if you compare the purchase price of the different categories of vehicles, will not be too difficult. An SUV that visually resembles an SUV is much cheaper than a real SUV, without all-wheel drive when it was bought. Due to the smaller size of vehicle you do not have Einparkprobleme like the Great.

It is intended for long-distance performance optimization is very important," said Hans Reiter. "Tires are less polluted, offering more high grip level and also enables rapid duties at the end of lap time."
