NEW ROAD BEAST
Dodge has presented the latest gem from the Department of SRT (Street and Racing Technology) just before the opening of the Chicago Auto Show, and this is the new Dodge Charger SRT8.
Under the hood, the new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 delivers more horsepower and torque than the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces. It also will offer improved fuel economy. Estimated power ratings for the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 are 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, including an estimated additional 80 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,900 rpm. Specific horsepower, torque and fuel economy numbers will be announced closer to the vehicle introduction.
For the first time in an SRT model of Chrysler Group LLC we HAVE Paddle Shifttechnology, in combination with standard automatic transmission. The engine is paired with proven W5A580 5-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 5 seconds and top speed is 282 km/h.
SRT8 has new, split five-spoke, 20-inch lightweight forged and polished aluminum wheels with black painted pockets. Braking is provided by Brembo brakes. The Charger SRT8's Ready Alert Braking system provides for situations in which the driver may have to use the emergency brake and automatically includes the electronic stability control pump to set brake pads against rotors in order to decrease the time required for full brake application.
In the rear, the Charger's new signature "racetrack" taillamp design with 164 illuminating LEDs receives new 4-inch round dual exhaust tips and an SRT8 decklid badge to boldly show the Street and Racing Technology DNA.
Inside the new Dodge Charger SRT8 is a new design that was introduced with the redesigned Dodge Charger for 2011.
An all-new, leather-wrapped, SRT-exclusive steering wheel carries the SRT logo. The standard paddle shifters flank both sides of the new steering wheel behind the new contoured palm rests.
The front seats have unique, aggressive bolstering and perforated suede insert fabric to help "grip" the driver and passengers, keeping them in place during spirited driving. Heated and ventilated front seats are standard. Reactive headrests also are standard. The SRT logo is embroidered in the seat backs.
For everyday commuting, the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 incorporates features like Keyless Enter-N-Go, adaptive-cruise control with Forward Collision Warning and Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, to keep drivers and passengers secure.
VOLKSWAGEN`S FUTURE PROJECTS
Future projects of Volkswagen have been discovered. Volkswgen is planning to make three new
models. Theye are Passat Cabrio, Passat Coupe and Passat SUV.
For 2015, the Passat Cabrio will be replacing the VW Eos. Passat would have MQB construction. MQB construction is technical platform for all models in VW concern (VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi) with transverse installed engines. The advantages are lower costs of construction and production, better space utilization and bigger passive security.
Until now Passat Coupe is known as four-door Passat CC, but in 2015 should be produced a two-door Passat Coupe. Engineers could refuse B-carrier. This will completely drop all four panes. Under a flat roof span is enough space for four passengers.
Passat SUV takes an intermediate position between the compact Tiguan and expensive Touareg. It should appear in 2016 and it will be produced in factory in Chattanooga in US instead of beeing produced in Germany because it is based on American Passat. Passat SUV will be seven-seater, and it will be almost 5 meters long.

SAVE FUEL!!!!
Here are some useful tips for saving fuel.
1. Start the engine only after you have tied up the seatbelt, adjust the seat and door mirrors. Do not warm up the engine idle. Keep in mind that air conditioning consumes energy.
2. The easiest way to save fuel is by quickly switching to the next (upper) gear. At a speed of 50 km/h motor vehicles of middle-class in the second gear are consuming twice as much fuel than in the fourth gear and three times more than in the fifth gear. Modern engines can operate at very low revs, even below 1,500 rpm.
3. A smooth driving style to the highest possible level significantly reduces fuel consumption. Sudden acceleration and braking often largery increase fuel consumption.
4. Bicycle or roof storage tanks increase fuel consumption by 40 percent.
5. Regular maintenance ensures the vehicle fuel efficiency.
6. Tyre pressure must be properly adjusted. If the tire pressure is too low, this automatically increases rolling resistance and thus fuel consumption and leads to uneven tire wear.
I wish you a pleasant and economical driving!!
AMAZING PARKING FOR GUINNESS RECORD
New Guinness World Record for tightest parallel parking was set by Chinese driver Zheng Da Zong. He parked his car into a space just 24 centimeters (9.45 inches) longer than the vehicle.
Chinese has set a new record which is 2 centimeters better than Ronny Wechelsberger's record. Ronny has managed to slide his Volkswagen Polo into a parking spot just 26 centimeters (10.24 inches) longer than his vehicle, during filming for German TV show Wir holen den Rekord nach Deutschland in Berlin, in April this year.
See the video how to perform such a space, but do not try this at home!! :-D

Car Audio - Eco Friendly Technology
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about going green in an effort to keep our environment safe and sound. May industries have taken aggressive actions towards this type of campaign by re-engineering their products to make them environmentally safe. The car audio industry was one of the strong supports and they introduced new technologies that take the industry to a new level of maintaining a green environment.
2010 was a very busy year for the car audio manufacturers. They have deployed new techniques that will better benefit the environment and the consumer. Car enthusiasts will be interested in upgrading and customizing their vehicles more than ever due to the advanced technologies that were implement in new 2010 audio line.

Car enthusiasts will be interested in upgrading and customizing their vehicles more than ever due to the advanced technologies that were implement in new 2010 audio line.
Since headunits are considered to be one of the most important car audio components, well known manufacturers added new functionalities that will help provide better fuel consumption and efficiency. Name brand navigation units are equipped with a built-in Eco-friendly navigation feature which monitors your car's impact on the environment. This revolutionary technology will make the driver aware of his/her car's fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and fuel prices. The Eco friendly navigation sends recommendation on how to optimize fuel usage for better a driving experience.
Car stereos weren't the only thing to be enhanced, but also subwoofers. Car subwoofers are widely used among enthusiasts in an effort to improve their car's bass quality and depth. What most of them don't know is that these heavy gears take a lot of resources and vehicle space to be able to produce powerful sound. The first thing that engineers have done is to reduce sub size without sacrificing performance. They were finally able to reduce the mounting depth by 20% which helped installers to fit these new subs in any location even in small cars. By reducing the magnet size, manufacturers were able to use fewer materials when making car speakers without sacrificing performance.
Amplifiers also went thought many modifications. The 2010 amps are now loaded with new technologies that will allow them to produce more power for a longer time. Newer amplifiers need less power when boosting up due to circuitry additions and optimization. If you are used to own a bulky amplifier, you will be impressed with the newly designed ones. Amplifier's chassis was reduced to occupy less truck space, reduce fuel consumption and battery resources. Since overheating is a common issue for amps, some manufacturers provided an efficient heat management mechanism to keep it running cool all the time.
The car audio industry has gone through serious modifications to their product lines to make them run efficiently without taking a lot of resources. Car enthusiasts can now customize and personalize their car's sound system and get the most out every penny they spend. It's time for other industries to take action towards cleaner environment by producing products that take less power and require fewer resources.
Car Audio Mistakes
Many people just spend too much and in some cases go into debt. What can make this particular situation worse is that people go into debt for a system they realize they do not even like. First, figure out how much money there is available to spend. Then decide how much of the car audio system needs to be replaced. At this point plan a budget - how much can you afford to spend? Therefore you can locate system components in your price range. Deciding what is most important in the car audio system and plan to spend more on the important items. Going over budget is the first and most common mistake car audio system buyers make.
Another thing to consider is how much of the car is going to need to be modified for your potential choices. For example, some speaker installation will require many modifications to be made to the car. Modifications will need to be made by a professional and therefore you will have to budget into the total cost of the car audio system parts as well as labor. Another car audio systems mistake is that the owner of the car does not think about the future. How long are you going to keep the car for? Will you sell the car with the new audio system or will you remove it before sale? Remember audio systems never increase the value of a car enough to balance
what was spent on the audio system in the first place. Also, if you plan on remove the system before you sell the car that could be problematic. Having a radio and an audio system are high priorities when people are searching for a new car to buy.
When and for what do you use the car for? If the car sees a lot of use as well as wear and tear, then buying higher quality components like the car speakers is a great idea. Understandably, if you are spending more time in your car then at home you want to make sure it is as comfortable and entertaining as possible. However, if the car is only used for weekly shopping, low end parts are more appropriate.

Another car audio system mistake people make is choosing a system, which is not appropriate for the type of music they listen too. This is probably the most important factor, which should influence the choice of the right car audio system. If the music that you enjoy is strong, bass beats then a high-end
power amplifier is needed. In addition, subwoofers would also be a good choice. However, if your music choice is at the opposite end of the music range then you will need a different audio system setup. For example, if you listen to classical music or trendy pop music, you will need to get a car audio that has a strong speaker system that offer even play of the sound spectrum.
