The Unique Zenvo ST1Hand Built Supercar 2009

The Unique Zenvo ST1Hand Built Supercar 2009
2009 Zenvo ST1

Zenvo Automotive was founded with one goal in mind. To produce a unique hand built supercar. The developing of the prototype started in 2004. The prototype is completed and the car is in the last testing phase. In 2009 Zenvo Automotive will start the series production of the car, Zenvo ST1. It will be a very limited edition and only 15 cars will be built and sold to special approved customers.
The Zenvo ST1 exterior design works from nearly every angle, and apes notable features from everything from the Lamborghini Gallardo to the Nissan GT-R, to the Porsche Carerra GT. Though some ST1 details are familiar, the Danish supercar as a total package manages to avoid looking like a who's-who mashup.
Zenvo designed the car in-house, and its big gaping front air vents draw the eye over the tight, taught bodywork. Though obvious Lamborghini comparisons are made when speaking of the front end, the ST1 has softer body corners leading along the main body line toward the rear, keeping it original.
The outleted hood and rear C-pillar line, with the wraparound rear spoiler, calls to mind the new Lotus Evora. And, of course, the air intake grills just aft of the front wheels are a clear reference to the Nissan GT-R.

When all is said and done, though, the design works very well and befits a supercar with more than 1,100 horsepower. Zenvo will surely win some design awards for the 2010 ST1, should this beautiful beast make its production date of early next year, as promised.
The project was started back in 2004, and the first cars are -- optimistically -- planned for delivery in 2009. The first performance tests were completed in October and the rear-wheel-drive ST1 is claimed to have reached 62 mph in what we imagine was a traction-limited 3.2 seconds. The run to 120 was accomplished in just under nine seconds and the top speed is reported to be an electronically limited 233 mph. So a Veyron/Ultimate Aero/GT9/CCX-killer this is not.
The Zenvo ST1 certainly looks unique, with a very geometric appearance, including boomerang-shaped vents adorning the grille, hood and sides.
How well will the complete package from a completely unproven halo car manufacturer handle, perform and hold up to the abuse that each owner will surely give it? Only time will tell .............

2010 HONDA CR-Z CONCEPT CAR

Honda announced that the CR-Z (a car that Honda calls “a sporty hybrid model”) will be sold in Japan as early as February 2010. Honda will further enhance its lineup of compact hybrid models, which leverage the unique characteristics of Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA), including compact size, lightweight and high efficiency.
In addition, Honda is currently developing a new hybrid system which is intended to be installed on mid- to large-size vehicles.The launch date of the new hybrid coupe on other markets will be announced towards the end of 2009. Though the vehicle will continue to use the same 1.3 L VTEC engine found in Honda's Insight, it will have a more powerful electric motor, giving the car a total of 130 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. The Insight delivers 98 hp. The car should be able to go from 0 to 60 in 9 seconds and get an average fuel economy of 55 MPG.
Ito also confirmed that Honda will be producing a hybrid version of the Fit by the end of 2010. "I think everyone is going to go the way of hybrids," said Ito. "Bringing hybrids quickly to customers will be a major focus of our activities. I want Honda to be a speedy company."
The CR-Z concept vehicle made its world debut at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show in 2007. The CR-Z sporty hybrid will feature advanced technologies that deliver enjoyable driving for all while reducing the vehicle’s environmental footprint.
Furthermore Ito said Honda was also developing a larger hybrid system using 2 electric motors, similar to GMs 2-mode hybrid system. This will be used for larger vehicles, trucks, and SUVs.

Ajanta Group working on e-car for India: Zindabad!!!

The Ajanta Group, which already sells electric scooters in India under the Oreva brand, claims it will soon launch its electric car in the country. Though technical details are not available at this time, Rakesh Nathwani, Oreva’s national marketing head, claims that the car will be able to run 200-250km on one full battery charge.

It is ironic that Tata Motors have finally chosen Sanand village in Gujarat where the Nano will be made, because the Oreva electric car – which is also expected to be priced at around Rs one lakh – will also be made at Morbi, in Gujarat. Ajanta/Oreva already manufacture their e-scooters at their facility in Morbi, and will also launch their e-car from the same factory.

Tata Motors to introduce Air Car

India's largest automaker Tata Motors is set to start producing the world’s first commercial air-powered vehicle. The Air Car, developed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Nègre for Luxembourg-based MDI, uses compressed air, as opposed to the gas-and-oxygen explosions of internal-combustion models, to push its engine’s pistons.

i-MiEV Jadi Taksi di Tokyo

Jika Anda pergi ke Tokyo sekarang, dan ingin naik taksi, kini ada pilihan taksi listrik. Setidaknya jika Anda sedang berada di distrik Otemachi, Marunouchi atau Yurakucho siang hari.

Adalah perusahaan Hinomaru Pramutamu yang kini menggunakan Mitsubishi i MiEV untuk armadanya, membuatnya menjadi yang pertama di Jepang yang menggunakan kendaraan listrik untuk disewakan.

Seperti dilansir Autoblog, Senin (22/3/2010) tarifnya juga tidak berbeda dengan perusahaan taksi lainnya, yaitu 710 Yen untuk 2 km pertama, dengan area lokal dan informasi pusat-pusat wisata.

Tidak hanya sekedar ramah lingkungan, kenyamanan pelanggan pun sangat diperhatikan, dengan menggunakan sopir wanita, serta penyajian minyak aromatik yang menyenangkan untuk membantu Anda rileks di dalam kabin.

Diberi nama The Zero Taxi Service, i MiEV taksi ini akan secara resmi diluncurkan hari Kamis minggu ini, di gedung Mitsubishi di Marunouchi, dimana nantinya media diberikan kesempatan menjajal taksi listrik ini gratis.

Di Tokyo, i MiEV akan mendampingi mobil ramah lingkungan lainnya seperti Prius yang menjadi armada taksi.

LIPI Lebih Memilih BUMN Untuk Produksi Massal Mobil Hybrid Made in Indonesia

Lembaga Ilmu dan Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) berharap ada Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) yang tertarik pada mobil hibrida garapan LIPI dan berniat untuk memproduksi mobil itu secara masal.

LIPI sendiri selama ini sudah bekerja keras untuk membuat mobil konsep yang ramah lingkungan dan juga hemat dalam penggunaan bahan bakar sejak 2005 hingga saat ini proses pengembang terus dilakukan.

Hal itu diungkapkan Deputi Ilmu Pengetahuan Teknik LIPI Syahrul Aiman di Bandung.

"ATPM mobil tentu susah karena mereka sudah concern pada produknya. Nah yang kita harapkan ada BUMN yang tertarik memproduksi massal mobil tersebut," ujar Syahrul.

Kenyataan itu tentu berat bagi LIPI, sebab persaingan mobil di zaman sekarang tentu ketat karena setiap produsen mobil dituntut untuk menciptakan mobil yang layak.

Menanggapi hal itu Syahrul menyatakan kesiapannya untuk membuat mobi tersebut bersaing dengan mobil hibrida lainnya.

"Kita tentu siap bersaing dengan yang lain," yakinnya.

Sebelumnya LIPI telah berhasil mengembangkan mobil konversi listrik dari sasis Toyota Kijang.

Satu lagi mobil hatchback atau si bungkuk yang saat ini pengembangannya terus dilakukan untuk mendapatkan titik maksimal. Si mobil hibrida hatchback itu mengadopsi mesin berkapasitas 160 cc.

Mobil Texmaco Macan MPV

Macan, Kendaraan sejenis MPV dengan kapasitas mesin 1.800 cc dari PT. Texmaco, dengan menggandeng Mercedes Bens PT. Texmaco mengeluarkan kendaraan ini, dan satu unit prototype sudah dipamerkan di arena pekan Raya Jakarta pada pertengahan tahun 2001
