2011 Nissan NISMO 370Z

2011 Nissan NISMO 370Z

The dynamic Nissan NISMO 370Z, a tuner-Z® enthusiast’s dream and the most powerful production Z® ever offered, enters its third year in 2011 – again offering 350 horsepower, racing-inspired exterior and interior styling, a specially tuned suspension and unique super-lightweight forged alloy wheels.

The limited production NISMO 370Z is offered in one completely equipped model with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission only and in a choice of five exterior colors, including one new exterior color for 2011: Gun Metallic.

Advanced VVEL V6 and Tuned Suspension Come Standard
Every NISMO 370Z starts with the unmatched foundation of an advanced Nissan FM (Front Midship) platform, refined 4-wheel independent suspension and 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL). The VVEL system helps optimize intake valve open/close movements, allowing the needed air to be sent promptly to the combustion chamber at the precisely optimized time.



For its use in the NISMO 370Z, the 3.7-liter VQ-series V6 produces 350 hp @ 7,400 rpm and 276 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm. The NISMO Z®’s enhanced engine power and acceleration is provided through use of an exclusive H-configured exhaust system design and muffler tuning, along with optimized ECM (Engine Computer Module) control. The NISMO 370Z is offered with only one transmission, a close-ratio 6-speed manual with Nissan’s “SynchroRev Match” synchronized downshift rev matching system.



The NISMO 370Z rides on unique 5-spoke Nissan-branded 19-inch RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels (19x9.5-inch front, 19x10.5-inch rear) mounted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport Y-rated high-performance tires (P245/40ZR19 front, P285/35ZR19 rear).

The NISMO 370Z has an overall length of 173.4 inches – 6.2 inches longer than the standard 370Z Coupe. Special side sills and a unique rear bumper help control airflow under the vehicle, while the functional rear spoiler increases downforce.

Like the standard 370Z Coupe, the NISMO 370Z exterior also includes a wide stance, sculptural fenders, upswept quarter windows, bold “boomerang” shaped headlights and taillights, vertical door handles, heated outside mirrors, and aluminum hood, door panels and hatchback. The headlights are a High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-functional xenon design with an auto on/off feature. The NISMO 370Z is offered in five exterior colors: Pearl White, Brilliant Silver, Magnetic Black, Solid Red and the new Gun Metallic.



Standard interior comfort and convenience features include Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Start, power windows with one-touch auto up/down feature, power door locks with auto-lock feature, a center console box with a non-intrusive cover design, automatic climate control, rear window defroster with timer, two 12¬volt power outlets, four cupholders (two in door panels, two in center console), dual overhead map lights and a AM/FM/CD/AUX 4-speaker audio system with illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls.

2012 Audi e-Tron Concept Car

2012 Audi E-Tron

Audi has always been known for stylish automobiles, but with their two e-Tron concept cars, they're looking to add high-performance green cars to their reputation -- even if the green cars in question are actually orange and silver.
Audi has debuted two concept cars under the e-Tron name. The repetition is intentional: Audi is planning for the e-Tron moniker to apply to all their EVs, similar to how all their all-wheel-drive vehicles have a Quattro designation.

The first e-Tron concept (the orange one) is based on the Audi R8 and debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and made it stateside for the 2009 L.A. Auto Show. The second e-Tron concept is smaller and lighter than the first and debuted at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. It's slightly larger than the current Audi TT but Audi says its architecture is more in line with the R8's. The larger 2009 concept will likely make it to production first, as the R4 e-Tron.



Details
The 2009 e-Tron concept is the one most likely to be in limited production by 2012. Expected to hit the road as the R4 e-Tron, the concept features independent electric motors at each of its four wheels. The combined output of the motors is 313 horsepower and an incredible 3,319 pound-feet of torque. Audi puts 0 to 62 time at 4.8 seconds. And says that the e-Tron should be able to rocket from 37 to 75 in just 4.1 seconds. At a 230 volt outlet, the e-Tron gets a full charge in about seven hours. However, if you have a 400 volt outlet, charging time is just 2.5 hours. On a full charge, it has a range of 154 miles.
The Audi e-Tron can accelerate from 0 – 62.14 mph in 5.9 seconds if or when it is necessary and it can also go from 37.28 – 74.56 mph in just 5.1 seconds. This car is also able to conveniently distribute the high-torque power of its 4 electric motors to the wheels as needed – this the e-tron the performance of a totally genuine sports car.
The 2010 e-Tron concept features two electric motors that create a combined 204 horsepower and 1,954 pound feet of torque. Zero to 62 time is 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 124 mph. The 2010 e-Tron concept has a range of 125 miles on a single charge. A full charge takes 11 hours from a 230 volt outlet.
