Force of six hearts


Jaguar XJ220 was the son of the late 1980s. This is the golden age of PS-loaded super sports cars like the Porsche 959 or Ferrari F40Jaguar also will not miss the trend. This led to British luxury forged under the leadership of then chief engineer, Jim Randle of the super sports car XJ 220 was initially introduced in 1988 in the British Motor Show with a 6.2 liter V12 and four-wheel drive. The mid-engine should make 500 hp. In addition, waiting for the body with Lamborghini scissor doors in style. But the actual production car apart in 1991 has changed a lot. Than half of nearly V12 3.5-liter V6 under the hood sits. Smaller engine, can be understood, however, to shine. Six-cylinder engine is a variation in the IMSA series in sports prototype Jaguar XJR-10 and in Group C in the XJR-11 is used. This makes the connection with two Garrett turbochargers whopping 542 hp and 641 Nm. Smaller machines, various modifications and a decrease of 25 cm to 4.85 m now reduced tare weight of from 1564 to 1350 pounds.

The fastest road car in the world


Data from the information sheet is for super athletes on the asphalt. The "220" in its name stands for the desired speed of 220 mph (350 km / h). To find out what the XJ220 is really able to organize his work on Jaguar racing driver Andy Wallace in the high-speed test. In the Firestone test track in Fort Stockton, Texas in 1991 he reached a top speed of 341.6 km / h A year later, Martin Brundle was enhanced value to the circuit in Nardo, Italy, to 349.4 km / h This value gives XJ220 in 1992 entitled: "The fastest road car in the world."

In the evaluation of Protest in Brazil, the Chevrolet Corsa 1.4 Maxx is the best

Brazilian Association for Consumer Protection (also known as a protest) tested twenty versions of the top ten models of compact hatch for sale in Brazil to evaluate the best and worst seat belt. Item was analyzed as a locking system, long braids and closing rod mounting location.

Ford Ka is the worst result, after losing points on a variety of questions. According to the protest, resist models Rocam 1.0 is the worst among all assessed, and that the belt does not have the size needed for standard comfort. Another problem is that the driver of obesity risk greater in Ka crash, because the length of the belt does not provide the necessary security. This problem is common to model Renault Clio, Chevrolet and Celta Ford Ka 1.6 Sport .

The seat belt offers a three-point differential for the rear center seat passengers have made the Chevrolet Corsa 1.4 Flexpower Maxx is considered the best rated. Other models are also not good Citroen C3 1.6 Exclusive Automatique, Prime Volkswagen Fox 1.6 i-motion and XS Peugeot 207 1.6 16V Automatic. The presence of airbags in all of them also have a favorable point.

Safer version
The test also evaluated the models that have the greatest difference between models in the belt entry and the most complete. The biggest difference between the versions found in the Fiat Uno and Ford Fiesta. In contrast, the association suggests that some models like the Volkswagen Gol series Rock in Rio, offers the best seat in the incomplete version.

Renault Clio is the only model presented risk that the driver has difficulty to engage fully in the seat belt latch rod, as the handbrake lever can be an obstacle. All hatch assessed in relation to the determination of the closing rod, because the chair frame - which is more rigid, thus offering greater resistance to impact - is the place where it is attached.

Mercedes CLS 250 CDI test: honesty and luxury

[caption id="attachment_1552" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="Mercedes CLS 250 CDI 1"]Mercedes CLS 250 CDI 1[/caption]

It is in the air. Model for the V6 and V8 left the glorious Mercedes CLS 250 CDI tests support the four-cylinder diesel. Less formal, but very successful in their field of machine. After the Jaguar XF and Mercedes CLS host for the first time a 4-cylinder. It's called democracy.

Myth falling one by one. At the Porsche diesel passes the higher end model V6 and V8 leave their precious support the four-cylinder diesel. So far the only master on board, cut into 4-door pioneer obliged to organize themselves to face new competition and ambitious. Audi A7 and the future in mind BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, and at a lower level of the VW CC.

For this, the German brand has been built on the Blue Efficiency program and the small 4-cylinder 250 CDI. A machine was born in late 2008, under the hood of the C-Class which has quickly established itself as the successor of the good old CDI 200 and 220. Adapting the three levels of power (136 hp, 170 hp and 204 hp), a feature common rail technology, piezo injectors and a new dual supercharger (136 hp version has a single turbo).

Implemented here without definition 204 hp, the engine is running with bold cutting large German 1785 kg. If not the nobility of the V6 in a soft voice, this 4-cylinder, can not rely on spontaneous response and especially its regularity in revving. It's nervous, a little bat in the 2000 r / min, 500 Nm of torque unload her in a linear fashion. It can also boast a very low return. We will always keep the attitude in the right leg without ever needing to change the blade of the 7G Tronic. The only drawback is his voice. Only suitable for the Taxi. In the piece to be € 60 000 was a mess.
The value of consumption (6.0 l/100 km, was raised by us) and emission (134 g CO2/100 km) is relatively low, is not obtained at the expense of performance since the CLS reaches 100 km / h in 7.5 s and the v-max 242 km / h. like performance V6.

The elegance of her wearing star pieces A7 Sportback and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe

Road, CLS does not show the activity of a coupe. However, it has a good combine comfort and effective response. Depreciation, outstanding basic, familiar term for perfection when it is attached to the Airmatic suspension (option to € 2,200). Add to that a subject worthy of the greatest and you get a big way.Curious? But true.
This baby is greater than 4.94 m do not forget the many genes off. The driving position low to the ground and boarding needs are always subject. In contrast, a large trunk (520 liters) and two rear seats are a reminder that the CLS sedan has blood in his veins. You'll have no qualms about walking around the whole family on the wound.
12 with the driving aids and nine airbags, Mercedes can claim the highest level of security currently active on the market. Note that the coupe heralds new generation of lighting technology by combining the LED lighting system (Adaptive Intelligent Light Assist). A € 1 800, options, view can only be cleaned.
