To do this, Audi compete for the first time two hybrid prototypes will join two other diesel-powered prototypes.

Not the first time that Audi revolutionizes the competition by bringing a car with mechanical innovations. After the first victory with a turbocharged direct injection engine (TFSI) in 2001 and the first win with an engine turbocharged direct injection diesel (TDI) in 2006, now the German faces another technological milestone in the race to bet on the hybrid technology.

Audi Sport Team Joest The two cars entered for the new FIA World Endurance. Audi plans to add other additional cars in some races as the 12 Hours of Sebring (USA) and the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), which will be a dress rehearsal for Le Mans.

In the French race Audi resistance compete with the numbers 1 and 2 (hybrid drive) as well as 3 and 4. As stipulated by the rules, and is nominated by a pilot car. The elect are Andre Lotterer, Allan McNish, Timo Bernhard and Oliver Jarvis.

The new Audi sports prototype with a hybrid engine will be introduced in late February. His racing debut will be in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps on May 5. For the inaugural World Championship at Sebring, March 17, Audi Sport Team Joest the Audi R18 TDI will use that was victorious at Le Mans last year.

Audi has won 10 times24 Hours of Le Mans since 2001 and is the most successful brand of the competition in its recent history. Last year also took first place after a close duel with Peugeot.

Honda NSX as study

Many fans wait eagerly for a new Honda NSX. But they have to be patient at least up to the year 2015. The technical layout of Geneva shown in the concept car combines a V6 engine with technologies such as the SH-AWD, the sport hybrid-system Super handling all wheel drive. It includes among other things two electric motors, which to the front wheels and help for example when accelerating. They also affect the handling by the acceleration and deceleration. The NSX study was presented already car show 2012 under the name of Honda noble brand Acura on the Detroit Michigan. In the United States, the vehicle is also designed and built. While the Americans as Acura got him, he receives the Honda logo in Europe.

EV-STER

In contrast to the NSX, the EV ster is a purely electrically powered sports car with rear-wheel drive. To the specifications, Honda has can not much said. The vehicle was unveiled at the Tokyo show for the first time in December 2011 engine. According to Honda the EV STER is 3.57 meters long, width 1.50 and 1.10 meters flat. Thanks to the use of lightweight construction material carbon to be the weight low. The output power of its lithium-ion battery amounts to 58 kW. Honda identifies 160 km/h as maximum speed.

CR-V as a prototype in Geneva

Already mid 2011 Honda provided a first look at the next CR-V. At that time, a concept car of the US version was shown. At the Geneva Motor Show in 2012, the Japanese now present a European prototype of fourth-generation of SUVs. The European launch plans of the manufacturers in fall 2012.

New 1.6 liter diesel Honda

See use of the somewhat welled-sounding name of “Earth Dreams Technology”, a new generation of engines is currently being at Honda. In Geneva, the Asians present a 1.6-liter diesel motor. This is to see at the show as a model with a view to the innards. The engine should be lighter than all other comparable units and emit less than 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre.

New versions of jazz in Geneva

Even with the jazz subcompact, Honda has to announce new. At the Geneva Motor Show, the jazz is sport summer 2012 customers can buy. Facilities include a sports tuned chassis and a “discreet Design update” internally and externally. The second featured Jazz variant is equipped with a start stop system, which will be fitted in the future and to reduce CO2 emissions by three grams per kilometre.

The “Tailor Made” program follows a tradition that developed in the 1950s and 1960s, when customers personalized their car and were about to enjoy painting, leather and details in their choices much freedom. The result was a unique and truly bespoke car for every single customer.

This magnificent past of the prancing horse responded again to Ferrari. Customers can thanks to the newly established “tailor made” program to personalize their cars down to the smallest detail. This ranges from the colors to the Interior equipment as well as the details and the accessories still unprecedented wide choices of different materials, treatment types and colors.

In the “tailor made” program are three collections to choose from: Scuderia, Classica, and Inedita. When all lines fulfill the individual wishes of each customer. A team of experts and a staff designer accompany the clients step by step through the program. The details of the car are set, the customer can accompany all steps of the production process to the delivery of the vehicle.

In the context of “tailor made” program customers visit the Ferrari factory in Maranello, where this was a separate area furnishings: Similar to a tailor shop there can be materials, treatments and colors by selecting a pattern. The choices range from traditional large and noble materials such as cashmere to denim and carbon fiber. Thanks to a material scanner, customers have the opportunity to take a preview look at the finished car.

Scuderia: Inspired by motor sports

Motorsport has always been the heart of the house Ferrari, which testify to the numerous victories on race tracks around the world. The Scuderia collection of “tailor made” program is a tribute to Ferrari’s achievements in motorsport. The choices range from carbon fiber to sports agents, Alcantara suede or rubber-coated, micro-fibers of Kevlar, to satin or opaque metal. The Scuderia Ferrari collection, the customer can create one that represents the ultimate expression of sportiness.

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, who was in the auction in California’s Pebble Beach auction in August 2011 for a record sum of 16.4 million U.S. dollars, presented with the characteristic blue and white paint on a red background, the source of inspiration for a Ferrari 458 Spider dar.

What is shown in the picture is a model to scale 1/8 of a Lamborghini winnowing LP700-4, manufactured in carbon fibre, covered in gold, and some of his pieces are Platinum and diamonds. The model, valued at more than 6 thousand million pesos, will be auctioned off and the money will be donated to charity.

Its maker, Robert Wilhelm Gulpen, credited with making this kind of scaled showed his latest creation made of carbon fiber, platinum, gold and diamonds that shape the more expensive scale model of the world, and inscribed in the Book of Guinness Record.

And is not the first time something like this Gulpen ago, last year sold for more than 6 billion pesos another of these ‘jewels’ based on the Bugatti Veyron.

Given that the materials used for construction are priced at approximately 6 billion dollars, it is not surprising that the auction will seek to reach 8 billion as the final price, probably ten times more expensive than the price of a real Aventador.

Representatives of the two German factories agreed that the evolution of the automotive industry for the coming years will be marked by the connectivity and technology, where users can even control some or all of the vital functions of a vehicle with its own voice.

According to Adrian Van Hooydonk, BMW’s chief designer, in recent months is being viewed as important is gaining the technological equipment as much about cars were equipped with a GPS and an audio input for mp3. But now, the prototypes already have a network connection, wifi, systems that detect obstacles, solutions to mobility problems and even some proponents of an autopilot for some time.

Additionally, these devices are no longer exclusively in more expensive models, and will become part of the equipment of the utilities, some accessories that according to Van Hooydonk, have as much importance as the design itself when deciding to purchase any vehicle.

Meanwhile, Rupert Stadler, Audi chairman said he has been implementing various management wizards that allow drivers to reach their destination with greater security and less stress.
Currently, Audi offers U.S. and European markets some of these technological advances, beginning with the navigation with maps of Google Earth and Google Street View feature, as well as real-time data traffic in the streets and search for points of interest by voice control.

Also, have a system that allows the car to keep its distance from the vehicle in forward traffic jams or situations where you have to brake and accelerate constantly, and the assistant tells the driver when you leave your lane for a distractions.

Analyzing the main objective to raise both representatives, it appears that within a few years we will have vehicles driven by voice commands, to avoid traffic congestion and improve the quality of life of its drivers.

This is the current leading edge of technological developments since the Google search engine struck in October last year when one of their engineers introduced in automatic driving ranges that were applied to a Toyota Prius.

Other future developments which are also these brands are working to include a presentation on 3D animation, to apply this technology in information systems projected on the windshield of the BMW cars. Or the Audi of the benefits of ‘Audi connect’, an intelligent network that interact in car driver, Internet infrastructure and other cars that are on the road.
