Alfa Romeo 4C Mid Engine Sports Coupe This is it The Production Model


It’s been a painful two years of waiting since the 2011 Geneva study but finally, Alfa Romeo has revealed the first images of the 4C sports coupe that will make its world debut in the upcoming Geneva Auto Show on March 5.
The transition from concept to production hasn’t robbed the 4C of its delicious styling, which is all but identical sans some details like the headlamps, tail lights and door mirrors, nor its specifications or dimensions that measure “less than 4 meters” long, 1.18 m high and 2.0 m wide and a wheelbase of “less than 2.4 meters”.

In an era when most auto manufacturers boast about carbon fiber parts in their new sports cars, Alfa Romeo has equipped the 4C with an all-carbon fiber monocoque, with just the front and rear frames being made of aluminum.

Alfa Romeo is still keeping its cards very close to its chest as far as weight or performance numbers are concerned, divulging only that the 4C has a weight-to-power ratio of less than 4 kg/HP.

The 4C uses an evolution of the 1,750cc (1.75-liters) turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde. It features a new aluminum block and specifically-designed intake and exhaust manifolds, as well as direct injection and dual continuous valve timing.

Like in the concept, the production 4C has a mid-engined configuration, with power transferred to the rear wheels via the TCT twin dry clutch transmission. It features an auto as well as a sequential mode, with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

Having debuted on the MiTo, the DNA selector that changes the throttle, steering and gearbox settings is not exactly a novelty. Its fourth mode that is added to the Dynamic, Natural and All Weather that are standard on other models, though, is: developed specifically for the 4C and aptly named Race it is, according to the company, designed to enhance the handling characteristics on track driving.

The 4C, which will go on sale later this year and mark Alfa Romeo’s return to the U.S. market, will be manufactured (in very limited numbers, if our insider report is correct) at Maserati’s plant.

Is this the Chinese version of the new Land Rover Defender based on the DC100 concept No just a copy from BAIC


Is this the Chinese version of the new Land Rover Defender, based on the DC100 concept? No, just a copy from BAIC
-

Seems someone in China, in particular in BAIC, really liked the DC100 Concept which was released a few months ago by Land Rover and decided they should do something similar.
 

This model will be part of the rebirth of the Zhan Qi class of SUVs which were very popular many years ago, thanks to its robustness and cheap price. How about the price? and the engine? Dimensions? I have no idea.

Superformance MKIII roadster powered by the Mustang’s 5 0L V8



stress ball money DS04AP5 450x298 Superformance MKIII roadster powered by the Mustangs 5.0L V8
We were smitten with the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 the second we got behind the wheel of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT. We described the 412 horsepower engine as “a pot of pure honey” as well as “intoxicating,” and said that the “5.0-liter V8 pulls like a jet airliner.” With a curb weight of just over 3,600 pounds, the Mustang GT is not as bloated as the Camaro, but by no means a lightweight. Would we like the 5.0L even more if it had less mass to push around?
That’s what Superformance had in mind with its latest creation. The maker of Shelby-licensed Cobra replicas has installed a Coyote 5.0-liter crate motor into one of its MKIII Roadsters, creating a combination of classic styling with the best of Ford’s modern powertrains. The engine wedges snugly into the front of the car, and only a custom air intake and headers are all that are needed to make everything fit.
We stopped by Superformance to get a closer look at the car, and came away with some photos and even some video of it in action. Check out the high-res gallery of the car below, and follow the jump to watch the video and hear what the Coyote 5.0-liter V8 sounds like without mufflers.

Ford’s Kuzak hints that GT successor may be in the cards



ford gt 630 450x287 Fords Kuzak hints that GT successor may be in the cards
Now here’s a juicy rumor we can get excited about: According to the crew over at Automobile, Ford may be considering another shot at the legendary Ford GT. The news comes courtesy of Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s head of global product development. After being questioned about the possibility of a GT successor, Kuzak chose his words very carefully by admitting that there are certain things in the four-year product plan that the company isn’t comfortable with discussing. While that’s not an out-and-out confirmation that the Blue Oval wants to see another mid-engine, high-horsepower machine in its stable, the overly diplomatic response does indicate that the thought may have crossed more than a few minds in Dearborn.
Is this a thin thread to cling to? Absolutely, but the talking heads of the industry typically site pesky issues like a vehicle’s high expense and looming CAFE standards as perfect reasons against building a new halo car. Considering that none of that rhetoric showed up this time around and the fact that we’ve heard rumors about a hybrid GT successor, it wouldn’t seem to be too much of a stretch to think that we just might see a new version of the car in a few short years. Consider our fingers crossed.

The collapse of the toe in the WHA with their own hands

Of great importance is the collapse of the adjustment - convergence of the car. First, it contributes to the stability of the car on the road, and secondly, supports the longevity of mechanisms that make up the nodes running gear. In addition, if your machine unbalanced collapse - toe, it could cause an accident. The first thing, before adjusting the car's wheels, you need to check tire pressure, it must be the same. Then, install a machine on a flat surface and place in a rectilinear direction of the wheel. To remove the remaining friction in the suspension, you sleduet2 3 times with a force push to the front and rear bumper. The next step in this procedure is to define convergence. To do this, you need between the rims front and rear axles to determine the difference. This can be done using special instrumentation or special rulers. This range consists of interconnected telescoping tubes, chains and control terminals. Measuring with a telescopic motion of the tubes takes place through the indicator scale. It is important that you set the line at the front of the wheel, while the control chain should touch the floor, and the ends of the tire should rest against lugs. Next, you should be on the measuring scale, put the arrow back to zero. Then roll the car up to the time when the line will stay on the centerline of the wheel behind. In addition, its vertical position can not be changed. Measuring its size in millimeters of alignment, you can understand how she shifted from the norm. To achieve the recommended standards, you will need on the side steering rockets to adjust the clutch linkage. When finished adjusting clutch, do not forget to pull off their tight bolts. In addition to the special line, camber can be done with a plumb or ordinary smooth rectangle. Raise the car with the jack, so that the wheels do not touch the floor. Then find the point of equal beats. They are located on opposite sides and are located on the sidewalls of tires. Next you should find support as a stand, it will help you make a withdrawal and a supply of chalk to the side of the tire rotating wheel. Then, you put notches on opposite sides of the speakers, where on the chalk marks were left, and then turn the wheel so that the labels were on the vertical. To determine the camber, you need to install next to the wheel of a rectangle or a plumb line. From the top of the rim before the plummet or rectangle - will be the distance. Value should fluctuate within the limits - of 1-5 mm. If the value exceeds the desired size, then you need to reduce it. This process can be done by adding shims, and washers. They should be the same thickness. These materials must be installed between the axis of the lower lever and the crossbar. If you can not cope with this type of work or if you have any difficulties, better consult a qualified professional stations.

Hitman Challenger UPDATE The Real Deal Revealed updated 5 50 PM

The mystery (well, at least part of it) of "Hitman" and the $29,100 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 auction is over.

Brad Davis at Glenn E. Thomas Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep confirms that the dealership did honor the $29,100 auction as Hitman said...but for a different car of arguably higher value. 

Jonny Lieberman at Autoblog got it right...Hitman (real first name Alex) went home in a new 2010 Challenger SRT-8 instead of the 2009 with 500 miles on the odometer.  Davis tells me the 09 was sold to another client last week while the auction was in dispute.




Hitman was offered his pick of three 2010 Challenger SRT-8s and chose a black one. The 09 was blue.



Hitman also gets $2,000 worth of Mopar accessories of his choosing.

All this leaves his cheering section at the ChallengerTalk Forums wondering why "Hitman"s been so uncommunicative since taking delivery of the car on Saturday. If anything, he won bigger. A poster who says he talked to "Hitman" says hes under legal constraints about what he can discuss...but if so, why was Brad Davis so willing to divulge details?

Dunno. Tirekicker only pawn in game of life.



If you want more, theres still a fair amount of head-scratching going on at the ChallengerTalk forums, where the auction thread, started by "Hitman" on March 13, just had its 400,000th page view today. Pick it up from where we broke the story this afternoon here.

Select The Right Viscosity Lubricating

Select The Right Viscosity Lubricating
Lubricant viscosity level which is also called "Viscosity-Grade" is a measure of lubricant viscosity and the ability to flow at a given temperature
Oli identifier code is a letter SAE which stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. Furthermore, the number who follow behind, shows the level of the oil viscosity. SAE 40 or SAE 15W-50, the greater the numbers that follow Code indicating the thick oil is oil.
While the letter W located behind the initial figure, which stands for Winter. SAE 15W-50, meaning it has a high viscosity oil SAE 10 for the conditions of cold temperatures and SAE 50 in summer temperature conditions. With these conditions, oil will provide optimal protection during the engine start in extreme conditions though.
Meanwhile, in a normal summer conditions, oil will work ideally in the range of 40-50 viscosity number according to SAE standards.
See Manual Vehicle ...

SAE GRADE LUBRICATING GUIDE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE PASSENGER
Grade Lubricant consisting of singlegrade / monograde such as SAE 15 and SAE 50 (used at extreme temperatures) as well as Multigrade SAE 5W-50 and 15W-50 is widely used (unless the temperature is very hot or very cold) because it is quite watery lubricant to flow at low temperatures and thick enough to work satisfactorily at high temperatures.
More specifically we use the following illustration:
There are 3 Oil, 1 Multigrade, 2 monograde
Oil 1 SAE 15 (dilute)
Oil 2 SAE 50 (condensed)
3 Oil SAE 15W50 (Multigrade)

Oil was taken third place, the cold temperature:
Oil 1 (SAE 15) will be more viscous due to cooler
Oil 2 (SAE 50) to freeze because their home has been condensed
Oil 3 (SAE15W50) Oil viscosity will be equal to 1 (SAE15)

Now all three Oil was taken to place the hot temperature, then:
Oil 1 (SAE 15) becomes very watery even be yawning all
Oil 2 (SAE 50) becomes more dilute
Oil 3 (SAE 15W50) Oil viscosity equal to 2 (SAE 50)
