| | VW 1-liter eco-friendly car set to make a return | | 2008-07-02 16:34:00 | | A few years back, Volkswagen introduced a concept vehicle which derived its name from its stated goal of using just one liter of fuel per one-hundred kilometers traveled, and according to CAR production version may be on the way in 2010. The original concept actually beat its lofty goal rather handily as it managed to achieve a miserly 282 miles per gallon in testing. Much of its amazing fuel-saving capability stemmed from its 660 pounds (300 kilograms) curb weight. The concept also featured a single cylinder engine and a 1+1 seating arrangement down the center of the car. While the engine is likely to be replaced by a twin-cylinder turbodiesel with hybrid drive, the carbon fiber construction and canopy-style roof are likely headed for production.As you'd expect, such technology and carbon-heavy construction isn't going to come cheap. To offset part of the cost, the automaker is surely looking for some government assistance for purchasers of the limited edition machine, though it coul | | By: Car News | | |
| | Audi 4.2 liter V8 In 1981 Lotus Esprit | | 2008-05-23 13:49:14 | | Oh, you gotta love this .
Look, Lotus Esprits are very very capable cars, some of them are frighteningly quick.
There are also, however, somewhat, how can I put this delicately, fragile and temperamental.
Now, I have a friend, Rory, who disputes this. He’s owned 4 or 5 Lotus Esprits, and he says they’re perfectly reasonable and dependable [...]

| Lutz says GM considering 2.0-liter turbo for Camaro | | 2008-03-20 05:03:40 | | Filed under: New York Auto Show, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Green, Chevrolet
A four-banger in a Camaro! Blasphemy you say? Could be, but what four-pot are we talking about? In this case, the General’s car czar Bob Lutz suggests that the new 2010 Camaro due next February could offer the same 2.0 liter direct-injected engine used in the [...] | | By: Car O Focus | | |
| | Obs. para o Paiol Literário | | 2008-03-12 20:51:00 | | Registrei aqui críticas ao público curitibano. Para fazer justiça, exponho que o Paiol Literário quase tomou todos os assentos úteis do teatro - sim, pois o Paiol tem umas cadeiras inviáveis... parte do charme.Mais uma vez, papo de bom nível e agradável. Em um certo momento pareceu um pouco repetitivo. Pudera, por mais que mudem entrevistados e entrevistadores, as perguntas são sempre as mesmas. As respostas não variam tanto. Para quem acompanha o evento desde sempre fica aquele desejo de aproveitar as peculiaridades e diversidades de cada entrevistado.Marina Colasanti, a estrela de hoje, nasceu em uma colônia italiana no nordeste da África. Escreveu 38 livros dos mais diversos gêneros. Teve de responder como era o seu processo de criação.Mas o evento é bom... bah, dá até medo de criticar o Paiol Literário. É só uma observação para aprimorar. Não por isso você deve deixar de ir. É bom, vale a pena e que dure por muitos anos.O próximo é dia 8 de abril com Ant | | By: Blog do Curitibocas | | |
| | 2011 Lotus Esprit to feature BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 | | 2008-02-16 20:02:44 | | Filed under: Spy Photos, Sports/GTs, Supercars, Lotus, UK
When we last saw the Lotus Esprit in 2004, it was equipped with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at about 350 hp. Offering much more motivation than its early turbocharged 4-cylinder powerplant, the Esprit V8 was quick — pedal to the floor, the two-seat coupe could punch through [...] | | By: Car O Focus | | |

| GM to intro 1.4-liter turbo; to appear in cars ‘no one could imagine’ | | 2008-01-28 10:36:24 | | GM to intro 1.4-liter turbo; to appear in cars 'no one could imagine'
With all the focus on plug-in hybrids, electric cars, and hydrogen fuel cells, one could easily forget the merits of existing engine technologies. But next year, GM plans to introduce a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that promises performance and efficiency at a very low price point. Possible candidates for the engine include the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Astra, though it could find its way into other vehicles. GM is also expected to add turbochargers to other small inline-four engines, since the upgrade would only cost $250 to $450 per vehicle, according to Automotive News. But don't think such engines will be limited to just hatchbacks and compact cars. Expect to see turbocharged four-cylinder engines in vehicles "no one could have ever imagined," GM's engineering boss Jim Queen said. Automakers are becoming more interested in turbocharging in light of fuel economy concerns. Ford recently launched its EcoBoost V6, which promises V8-like performance, and BMW is in the midst of phasing out its 4.8-liter V8 in favor of a smaller 4.4-liter turbocharged V8, starting with the new X6. | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |
