Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-door, 2012

 

 

 

The exciting 5-Door version of the all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque makes its global public debut at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17, 2010.
With its stylish and sporting appearance, enhanced by extra practicality and greater family appeal, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door joins the stunning coupé model to create a highly desirable line-up that will transform the premium compact SUV segment.

Like the coupé, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door remains faithful to the spirit of the groundbreaking Land Rover LRX concept car, offering an innovative new interpretation of the original cross-coupé design.
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door also stays true to the core values of the Range Rover brand, providing premium levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover all-terrain capability, but in a more compact package.

Commitment to sustainability
With the same compact footprint and advanced technologies as the coupé model, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door reinforces Land Rover's commitment to environmental sustainability. The Evoque is positioned as the smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever.

To deliver optimum efficiency, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door features lightweight construction techniques and offers the choice of a front-wheel drive variant. A new range of state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines comes with direct injection and stop-start. The Range Rover Evoque also adopts low CO2 systems such as Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) and is built to maximise end of life recyclability.

Coupé style and 5-Door versatility
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door offers an exciting new interpretation of the LRX concept car design, combining the dramatic stance and dynamic appeal of the original cross-coupé with the enhanced functionality offered by a 5-Door format.

The more capacious interior of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door has not been achieved by enlarging the compact footprint of the coupé model: the overall length and width remain identical.
Like the coupé, smart design, meticulous engineering and clever packaging has ensured that the Evoque 5-Door delivers the core Range Rover values of luxury, refined performance and all-terrain capability while remaining true to the spirit of the LRX concept design.

Interior quality and versatility
The cabin of the Range Rover Evoque is lavishly appointed with premium quality materials and an elegance befitting of a Range Rover interior.

A full-sized glass panoramic roof enhances the sensation of space and comfort by flooding the interior with natural light, and offers even greater headroom for all occupants.
For growing families, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door provides the versatility and luggage space of a compact station wagon.
The rear seats, with seat belts and head restraints for three passengers, have 60/40 folding seat squabs and are equipped with ISOFIX child seat mounts. When required, luggage capacity can be expanded to a substantial 1445 litres.

Sporting dynamics
On the open road, the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door offers a polished driving experience that combines dynamic and sporty handling with responsive, effortless performance and refinement.
The optional Adaptive Dynamics system with advanced MagneRide™ dampers provides an exceptional balance between a supple, controlled ride and sharper handling responses.

Capable off-road
Drivers who take their Range Rover Evoque off-road will be reassured to know that, in addition to extremely generous ground clearance, the car has better breakover and departure angles than other compact SUVs.

The Evoque will be the first Range Rover to offer customers a choice between a full-time four-wheel-drive system, which delivers outstanding performance and traction on all surfaces, and a low carbon, front-wheel-drive option for further enhanced fuel economy.
The Range Rover Evoque's formidable all-terrain potential is enhanced by the latest version of the company's signature Terrain ResponseTM system.

Powertrains
The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 5-Door shares its turbocharged powertrain line-up with the Coupé model. The state-of-the-art diesel and petrol engines offer smooth and responsive performance, blending four-cylinder efficiency with six-cylinder refinement and power.

Customers can choose between two comprehensively updated 2.2-litre turbodiesel derivatives, with 190PS or 150PS.

In the 5-Door model, the front-wheel drive Range Rover Evoque with the 150PS 2.2-litre engine achieves sub 135g/km CO2.
A new 240PS, 2.0-litre Si4 petrol engine combines direct fuel injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing for exceptional driveability and fuel efficiency.

Innovation
Like the coupé model, the Evoque 5-Door benefits from the same high-end innovative technologies as the larger Range Rovers. An intuitive control system and touch-screen display combines a stylish, uncluttered layout, state-of-the-art functionality with class-leading ease of use.

The display is available with dual-view technology, so that driver and passenger can view independent content.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone and audio streaming, plus a range of USB and auxiliary inputs for iPods and other portable devices.
The Evoque is the first Range Rover to offer breathtaking new sound systems developed in partnership with the high-end audio specialist Meridian. The premium Meridian offering is an 825W, 17-speaker system that delivers the ultimate in surround-sound performance.

Rossin Bertin Vorax Sports Cars Concept

Rossin Bertin Vorax Sports Cars Concept

The first ever Brazilian sports cars was recently unveiled at the 2010 Sao Paulo auto show in Brazil and its name – Rossin-Bertin Vorax. Manufacturers of Rossiné Bertin Vorax went for a healthy diet for a motor that must ensure their supercars just – the V10 engine of the BMW M5.

The car itself is a dramatic and menacing looking coupe (a convertible is to follow later). The lines are fairly unique, and Rossin has done a good job of making the car look different from most other generic supercar prototypes. It features a carbon fiber body over an aluminum chassis, cradling the Bavarian ten-pot in two states of trim: naturally aspirated with 570 horsepower, or supercharged with 750.

Rossin Bertin Vorax Sports Cars Concept

The standard V10 version accelerates up to 62mph in 3.8-second and has a top speed of 205mph (329km/h). The supercharged motor has a better acceleration time of 3.6 and its 180 extra horsepower pushes the car up to a much higher top speed of 231mph (371km/h).

The two men behind the Vorax are CEO and designer Fharys Rossin and (presumably lead investor) Natalino Bertin Jr. The former is a 37-year-old ex-GM designer and the latter is the 29-year-old, car-mad heir to the Bertin Group of slaughterhouses. Mr. Rossin wanted to build a supercar that could compete with the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche; a heady goal.

Bankrolled by meat industry scion Natolino Bertin, Jr. and realized by former General Motors designer Fharys Rossin, the Rossin Bertin Vorax Sports Cars Concept coupe is targeted to hit the market late 2011 or early 2012.

Production of the Vorax coupe will begin at a proposed plant in Blumenau, Brazil in late 2011 or early 2012. A convertible is set to follow twelve months later. Rossin-Bertin expect to sell between 500 and 1,000 Voraxes for around R$700,000 (US$409,836) each. In addition, in 2013, Rossin-Bertin plans to launch a series of open-source version Vorax.

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 1

The first clear pictures of the all-new 2012 Lamborghini Murciélago supercar surfed over the site today, which were apparently known as the "Jota" and replace the current Murciélago. The car going on sale early next year and it cost more than £ 300,000.

We all know, the Lamborghini Murciélago, is racing around the year 2002, and its time for him to rest, and let his successor take against the road. Lamborghini's engineers to be ready with a simple substitution of a super-awesome car. Taking steps to their first cold weather training VW / Audi test track somewhere in Scandinavia, following the test-driving super car caught by spy photographers.

It could have been a blisteringly cold Volkswagen / Audi 's secret testing location in Northern Scandinavia, but the prototype of the car was red hot: It's terrific replacement for the Lamborghini Murciélago. Buzzed, called the Jota (name off from the development of the Lamborghini 1970), by the Lamborghini supercar sure to be the largest yet from Sant'Agata Bolognese.

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 3

2012 Lamborghini Jota Murciélago is powered by 7.0L V12 engine which is capable of between 700 and 720 of HP and it will take a super-car to an amazing top speed of 362 km / h! New Lambo has a function bespoke carbon composite body and chassis of an aggressive and dynamic, four-wheel drive system will come to an unusually mild.

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 4

Sources indicate that this new Lambo will be less than 1500 kg weight, which will probably result in a breathtaking acceleration. Since the power to weight ratio is in the region 470 HP 1000 kg car is likely to accelerate 0-100 km / h in less than 3 seconds.
2012 Lamborghini Jota Murciélago is DSG transmission characteristics, because it would be too difficult and too expensive, but an engineer will come to the seven-speed sequential manual gearbox with the standard seven-speed paddle shift.

2012 Lamborghini Supercar Jota Murcielago 5

It is also expected that the dual-clutch transmission can be used to transfer the right of the four wheels of the new Lambo. Another rumor is leaps and bounds around the new all-wheel drive system supplier Haldex of Sweden. Come through the newfound ease of aluminum / carbon-fiber version of the aluminum space frame Audi R8, which will replace the current Murciélago's steel hull. Other weight savings achieved by the use of lightweight body panels, but instead of the widespread use of carbon fiber, as originally thought, the Lamborghini with aircraft builder Boeing has apparently led to studies on other composites to yield a better cost-benefit ratio than the carbon fiber. Lamborghini's goal going forward is that each new car tips scales around 200 pounds in less than a car, they are replacing.
