Its name stands for: E = Electric, X = across four wheels, and 1 = the No. 1 vehicle of its type. The front of the car is charged with smoothing the airflow over its tapered rear half, which reflects the more mechanical attributes of the EX1. In truth, Peugeot introduced similar conceptual architectural layouts in their Asphalt concept from 1996 and the 2006 20Cup Concept.
All of these concepts feature a very narrow rear track, primarily for improved aerodynamics, handling and efficient, minimal packaging. The most significant evolution of this third generation of narrow rear track concepts from Peugeot are is its pair of electric motors, each providing power to either the front or rear wheels.
“The new Peugeot DNA is Motion and Emotion. This is all about efficiency,” explained Gilles Vidal, Peugeot Director of Design. “In the design department at Peugeot, we are pushing towards the reality that ‘electric’ is all about an emotional experience of getting out of the city, and having an exciting time driving”.
The inside tack is that its DRG is a strong hint towards the upcoming 208 supermini’s face. Aside from this, the concept seems to sit slightly ill at ease with Peugeot’s move away from what it describes as a ‘hyper-sporty’ aesthetic. While, after 14 years of similar concepts, there still seems little chance that the company will every commit one to production.

This car actually been developed since 2006 and has been shown in prototype form at the British Motorshow in London in 2008. At that time, Mastretta MXT intend to market starting in 2009. But because the economic situation does not allow the time to market this car back one year.
But what makes this Mexican super car special? It turned out that despite coming from third world countries, the ability Mastretta MXT is not inferior to supercars from developed countries.
Armed with the light weight is only about 900 kg, Mastretta MXT capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km per hour in just 4.9 seconds only. This capability they can thanks to a capacity of 2.0 liter Duratec engine with 4-cylinder that is equipped with a turbocharger.
The machine is equipped with MTX-75 transmission 5-speed manual is capable of removing the peak power to 250 hp with 340 Nm of torque and can run up to the speed of 230 km per hour.
The plan even though derived from the American continent, a new Mastretta MXT will market in Europe first before they set foot in the United States. The target Mastretta MXT able to sell up to 150 units per year, with long-term goal to be 500 units.

Following the Civic Hybrid and Insight are already quoted, Honda offers a hybrid product again, this time named the Honda CR-Z. Carrying the hybrid engine combined with elements of a sports car, Honda claims the CR-Z hybrid sports coupe this and began to be marketed in Japan in February. That said, the CR-Z is the result of a combination of the Honda REMIX Honda Small Hybrid Sports, two-car concept that had previously exhibited.

CR-Z himself was first introduced as a concept car in Tokyo Auto Show event in 2007. This version also had exhibited in the event North American International Auto Show in 2008 while the revised version of events had brought to the Tokyo Motor Show in 2009. Broadly speaking, not many changes that happened between two versions of this until the production version.
Physically, the CR-Z This has similarities with the CR-X and see the name used, may be a CR-Z is a continuation of the CR-X. But in reality, the actual CR-Z is an improved version of the Honda Insight was released as a hybrid car. Honda himself never gave a confirmation of this and prefer to call this as the CR-Z stands for Compact Renaissance Zero.
Honda CR-Z
Overall, the Honda CR-Z design is indeed sporty and compact. From the side, designed as car body higher in the back with two lines scratched in a strong accent on the right and left hand doors. As a result, even at rest, the CR-Z is giving the impression as if he was speeding. Grille is designed very large grin like a Mazda.
In the kitchen runway, Honda put a combination SOHC i-VTEC engine, four-cylinder capacity of the combustion chamber with Integrated Motor Assist 1.500cc. This combination is capable of generating power at 122 horsepower at point 6.000rpm the torque of 128 lb-ft. in the range up to 1.500rpm 1.000rpm. With the combination of this engine is also the CR-Z is able to achieve efficiency point 36 to 38 miles per gallon.
Honda CR-Z
Removed with the standard version features six speakers, AM / FM / CD / USB sound system, remote keyless entry, and cruise control while the version on it (the CR-Z EX) Honda additional pinning the Bluetooth link and 360-watt subwoofer and the satellite- linked navigation system with voice recognition is given only as an option. Questions of safety features, six airbags and antilock brakes fruit obviously means that compulsory
Anomaly occurs at the Honda CR-Z. Hybird positioned as a sports car, the buyer of this car was older than originally predicted, as revealed from the sales data released by the Japanese media.
Usually sports car buyers are in the age range 20-30 years. But the CR-Z show its potential as the first sports car that can reach above 40 years of consumer interests. They are very interested in the concept hybrid sports car.
And the sales figures for this age group is very large, even reported up to ten times more than originally forecast. This indicates the enormity of the Japanese consumer support for the Green Sports Car movement.
Honda records, show the buyer the man in the age range 40 years to dominate up to 35%, while men who are in the age of 20 only 15% yearly.

Car Modification - Modifying Your Car - A Global Trend
0 comments Posted by esteban smith at 12:32 AMModifying your car has been a popular pastime for many years. By modifying your car you are able to put your own unique personal touches on the vehicle to make it stand out from the rest. There are many cosmetic modifications that don't make the car run any different, but then that's not the point 90 percent of the time! More often car modification is done just to make your car look better or give it a more aggressive race like appearance. These types of modification are simple and will make your car stand out from the rest with very little work. As for the cost of car modifications, that is an altogether different story. Parts are freely available off the shelf from companies such as Spareco, Koni and Spax. For example you can buy Spax suspension, Janspeed exhausts, Momo rims and steering wheels, body kits, light alloy pedals, leather or led lit gear knobs, Corbeau race seats and even race harnesses.
Getting a new set of wheels for your vehicle is a popular choice. There are many alloy wheel styles to choose from. Another popular modification is having your windows tinted. Tinted windows can help keep the glare from the sun out and also makes it harder for others to see into the car. I.C.E or In Car Entertainment is vital to any car modification project. Enhancing your cars audio is extremely popular and the range of products and options available provide DIY car modifiers with a world of choices. Products to choose from include the popular iPod Car Adapter kits, USB, CD & MP3 Stereos and , multi CD changers, front and rear parking sensors (some have video), plus the leads, tv screens and tools required to fit everything. Leading brands include: JVC, Dension, Panasonic, Connects2, Dashmount, Parrot, Alpine, Autoleads, Kenwood, Pioneer & Sony.
Today car navigation systems such as Motevo, TomTom, Garmin and Pioneer navigation systems are key ingredients when modifying a car. Even satellite or GPS Navigation systems come in hundreds of shapes and sizes. The main types of in-car navigation systems are in-dash mounted navigation systems, portable GPS systems, hand held systems, motorcycle and marine systems and finally the remote navigation systems where the GPS system is plugged in to your car radio for instance. When buying a new GPS system its often better to opt for higher resolution screens as they make the map information easier to see. Large memory and a decent control chip make for smooth and efficient operating, the last thing you need is slow loading and in accurate positioning. Most GPS systems have large touch screens, working with a stylus can be tricky so it does help and lastly pay particular attention to how visible and mobile you wish your model to be. If it's a permanent fixture in your car then bigger models are great, but if you need to take it in doors after use, a smaller model may be the answer. Car security is a factor not only when modifying your vehicle but also when insuring a car with lots of expensive audio equipment in it. Phone you current car insurance company and find out what you can do before your insurance starts costing you more. They will no doubt also require an upgrade to your car security system and there are simply so many companies out there the likes of Viper, Tracker and Clifford. They all sell various systems such as standard car alarms, remote car start systems and GPS tracking systems. GPS stands for Global Positioning Systems. Professional fitment is recommended and car security shoppers should always insist on a certificate of fitment from the dealer fitting the car security system.
If you want to give your car a sporty look without spending a fortune you can have racing mesh fitted for the front bumper of your car. This looks good and can also improve the airflow around the engine compartment. "Eyebrow extensions" is another way to customise your car. These extensions are usually plastic and are fitted to your car's head lamps. You can get these in a variety of colours and are relatively inexpensive. Car engine mapping is also relatively cheap to have done and performance gains can be substantial. It is recommended that you have engine mapping performed by competent, well known companies as they are best able to advise you of other crucial safety features you should improve when doing so. Up-rated brakes being one of them and more expensive tyres make for better high speed performance and traction to handle the additional engine power. Consider upgrading the oil you use in your engine when you have this done and use an high quality performance air filter, fuel filter and also replace all perished water and oil hoses frequently, if you haven't already done so. Engine mapping or chipping is basically re-programming your cars CPU and it is given new instructions on how to fuel your engine. The more power you ask for the more gas / petrol your mapping will request along with other parameters such as increasing the airflow to the engine by tricking the motor into thinking the air is colder, this produces more power. All this power comes at a cost though. Most cars that have upgraded their engine management systems do so for more power, not efficiency and in doing so use more fuel and rev higher too. Cam belts should be replaced more frequently and if you plan any engine modifications have a word with the manufacturers about what you plan to do.
Power is provided by the engine turbo-diesel 3.0-liter with an output of 180 kW (245 PS / 241 hp) and torque of 600 Nm (443 pounds-ft) of torque. This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 9.0 seconds and reaches a top speed of 112 mph (180 km / h).
