Bugatti had not long to wait until after the success of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport is also an initial inquiries to 882 kW (1,200 hp) version of the open model received Grand Sport in Molsheim. "We were immediately impressed by the idea of ​​transferring the power of the super sports on the hitherto most powerful 1,001 hp Grand Sport model, and thus opens up a whole new dimension roadster", said Wolfgang Dürheimer. The President of Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. continues: "Our team has managed to transfer the worlds largest car-driving, taking account of all driving dynamics and aerodynamic parameters in the open-top sports car, we are proud to introduce the now fastest roadster of all time can be. the 1,200-hp Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Vitesse Sports. "

2013 bugatti veyron grand sport vitesse

The new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse developed from the 8-liter W16 engine, its maximum torque of 1,500 Nm significant (at 3000-5000 r / min). The maximum power (1,200 hp said) is at 6,400 r / min. These data allow the mythical value of 2.6 seconds for 0-100 km / h sprint and an even better pulling power. At 410 km / h is the fastest four-wheel drive Vitesse, ever built in series roadster. The maximum speed is operated under special security measures on a closed course. In "normal" mode of handling Grand Vitesse Sports governs electronically at 375 km / h.

The increase in power from 199 hp to the Grand Sport will be achieved primarily through the use of four along with larger turbochargers intercoolers. In addition, Bugatti has increased all components of the drive train extensively in order to transfer the immense forces permanently safely. Specifically, the teeth of the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DSG) has been adapted to new conditions. Due to the use of larger turbocharger and an overall reduction in exhaust back pressure could be the fuel consumption despite the increase in performance even slightly reduced. Was taken over by the Super Sport, the fuel system with a 4-pump tank.
2013 bugatti veyron grand sport vitesse

To the unique power to make absolutely sure and confident on the road, the engineers have tuned the chassis of the new high performance sports car. In alliance with the racing-adapted, extremely fast-acting shock absorbers, the vehicle easier to control and perfect balance again. A tendency to roll or pitch when accelerating and braking is not more or less noticeable. Optimized wheel load fluctuations lead to a further reduction in understeer and active safety at the highest level.

Besides the incomparable lateral dynamic potential of up to 1.4 g also provides the precise interaction of the tires (on newly designed, lighter 20-inch alloy wheels of type "Vitesse") with the intelligent all-wheel system for exceptional handling characteristics. Landing gear, wheel drive system, ESP form a dynamic alliance. As the newly tuned ESP, for example when accelerating out of corners later intervenes, the Vitesse shows even in these situations, an even more dynamic performance. Of course, the fact that the cooling of the Bugatti has adapted in terms of stability and delay values ​​are globally unique by brakes and additional air intakes on the enlarged even higher engine performance.

Bugatti has developed the Vitesse for a new roof edge spoiler, the wind noise and turbulence in the interior is significantly reduced. In addition, there will be for the Roadster, a new wind deflector that can be stored compactly when not in use also in the trunk.
2013 bugatti veyron grand sport vitesse

Both details are also available for the Grand Sport is available, along roof edge spoiler and wind deflector allow itself at speeds of 200 km / h is a completely relaxed, open-top driving. The front and rear aerodynamics, numerous measures are adapted from the Super Sport for Vitesse. The front end is thus marked by large air-intakes and the two central air vents left and right of Bugatti grille is split horizontally by a web. The lowest air slot extends laterally into the wheel arch up and provides the exclusive sports car is an extremely confident manner.

Below this air intake is followed by a new, visually filigree designed front spoiler, which is designed conceptually similar to the usual chips in motorsport. Also new: the analogy to the Super Sport and improved housing in the now black-clad xenon headlights. The rear end is also derived from the Super Sport is characterized by a double diffuser and a centrally mounted double tailpipe. Front end like watching a new addition, Park Distance Control system (PDC).

Of course, the interior of the roadster was rapidly adapted. Carbon is - in addition to high-quality metals such as aluminum and magnesium - also the dominant material in the interior of the Vitesse. Numerous interior components are in the 1,200-horsepower roadster is now running in carbon. These include the extension of the center console, a cover with logo in the EB-crafted leather back cover (between the rear seats) and the Gurtaustrittsblenden on the seats. Also made of carbon are the decor of the center console, door inserts and here subsequent applications of the instrument panel.

New features include a Grand Sport version also in the "Bi-Color-Black" running trim (including in the roof) and a specially designed seat for the Vitesse design. Securities held in two-tone leather seats finished with a contrasting seam in the transition between the seats and side panels. Contrast stitching also feature the typical quilting without (diamond-quilted) exported leather armrest between the seats. Also new: knee pads located on the center tunnel, an additional 12V power outlet (in the glove compartment), the execution of the restraint systems, the illuminated start and park lock button (similar to Super Sport), and an instrument cluster with high switching information, and - of honor - which is now up to 1,200 hp reaching power display!

2013 New Ford Kuga Review

Under its attractive and newly designed body of the 2013 new Ford Kuga is convincing with a significantly more generous space and space than its predecessor.

New Ford Kuga 2013

There have been revised almost all of the techniques used and widely improved. The sportiness of the new Kuga stands externally particularly visible, and the impression is confirmed later in the driving range.

The convenience benefits of the new Kuga is one of the exceptionally quiet interior. Ride, wind and road noise could be reduced significantly by consuming improvements in detail. It faces recurrent situations in which you could almost believe you drive an electric car, or in hybrid mode.

The progress are also due to the use of special measuring methods with elliptical acoustic mirrors with which the experts have tracked by Ford external noise and vibration sources and eliminated.

New Ford Kuga 2013

The improvements in the space just as impressive as the revised design of the passenger compartment and the controls of the driver. Also the use of new materials in the interior of the vehicle now evaluates the Kuga.

The luggage compartment is waiting for with an improved accessibility. Especially practical: the electrically operated tailgate can now be opened via a sensor in the bumper, and then closed again. Here we see the brilliant advantage that objects can not be invited to be made ​​just before the opening of the tailgate down.

The trunk itself is characterized by an increase in storage capacity of 46 liters, the split rear seat backs can be folded down with one hand and then give a flat load floor. Thus, a load volume of 481 liters, with 5-seater configuration and to 1653 liters with rear seats folded down and loading is up to the roof edge.

The engine of the new Ford Kuga will include the model introduction in March 2013 two petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol engines are a 1.6 liter each Eco-Boost engine with direct fuel injection. As a 4x2 driven variant, the engine 150 hp at 240 Nm and a 4x4 variant is the power of the engine increased to 182 hp at the same nominal output of 240 Nm.

New Ford Kuga 2013

The two initially offered diesel engines is true also that the 2.0-liter TDCi four-cylinder turbo-diesel in the type 4x2 an output of 140 hp with 320 Nm of uses in the four-wheel version 4x4, 162 hp and 340 Nm provided. During the first half of the year, Ford will have another diesel model, 2.0 TDCi 115 bhp, but bring only with 4x2 drive and manual transmission for sale.

Driving the new Kuga to take either a manual 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic - here called Ford PowerShift - which, however, can only be combined in conjunction with the two diesel variants with 140 and 162 hp. The 1.6 Eco-boost with 150 horsepower is merely purchase as 4x2 (only front wheel drive) model, the 2.0 TDCi 140 bhp can be ordered both as well as 4x2 and 4x4 versions.

New Ford Kuga 2013

The fuel consumption data from the overrun Ford combined at the two petrol engines between 6.6 and 7.7 liters per 100 km, at 154 and 179 g / km Emission value. The diesel engines are at 5.3 and 5.9 liters Verbrauch/100 miles and miles from emission values ​​of 139 and 154 g /.

Principle has to be said that even the basic trend is very comprehensive and includes the most important driver assistance systems. The variant increases Titanum these designs with further assistance systems, climate control, alloy wheels, leather interior and much more.

2013 Toyota Verso Review

2013 Toyota Verso has a family van in the offer that has already been distinguished by its generous space and the good price / performance ratio. Toyota verso brought the hitherto rather staid Van a good portion dynamics. Toyota has in fact especially the front section assumed that now follows the new design line Toyota and the Van is not only a very individual character, but it can also act as very high quality and sporty.

Toyota Verso 2013

Verso with the popular 2.0-liter diesel engine with 124 hp elected in the upscale lounge facilities. Toyota Verso with ABS, ESP, 7 airbags, 17 "alloy wheels, xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED tail lights, electrically adjustable, heated and foldable exterior mirrors, a parking aid front and rear, rear view camera, cruise control, electric windows front and rear, a front center armrest, the Toyota Touch system with 6.1 "touch screen, a 2-zone climate control, a cooled glove box, a CD radio with AUX-in and USB connection, 6 speakers and more much more.

The changes in the interior are down only slightly the facelift, but in sum, the revised Verso has a much higher quality. Was revised especially the center console, which now houses the new Toyota Touch system with 6.1 "touch screen. Moreover, the Verso has also received lots of chrome trim elements in the Lounge version, which gives the interior a sporty touch. On require some getting used to at first glance to be the center, but towards the driver-oriented fittings, but after a few meters you will find the positioning his favor.

Toyota Verso 2013 interior

After all, the Verso will look even more spacious, an impression which is perhaps enhanced by the large panoramic roof. Also, the operation of all functions is very simple, only the Toyota Touch system has many idiosyncratic logic.

No reason to complain when there is space available. The 446 cm long Van offers truly princely space. In two rows, larger people comfortably, and the trunk volume is also designed to be very family friendly with 484 liter capacity. At the request of the boot can be increased by folding the rear seats up to 1,575 liters. Many practical shelves round the positive impression of the interior further.

In addition to the interior of the 2.0-liter diesel also turns out as a family friend. The 124 hp (91 kW) engine may be gone from the start convincing with a pleasant smoothness and lively performance. Its maximum torque of 310 Nm, it provides 1600-2400 r / min. For the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h, the Verso 2.0 D-4D then needs 11.3 seconds, top speed is 185 km / h

Toyota Verso 2013

The motor is especially suited to cross-country trips a good pulling power, which at low speed is too much power in high gears available. The manual 6-speed transmission also can be buttery soft switch and is translated rather long, so you can be on the road quite gearshift and yet economical.

Those who do not so often uses the liveliness of the engine, will come surely looking pretty close to the factory consumption of 4.9 liters. In normal driving mode, not at all hesitant acceleration and driving pleasure present, we have come in our test on 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The compact van that is also fun to drive and is very good on the road. To the great surprise are more sporty chassis and suspension tuned, without, however, have significant adverse effects on comfort.

The very light steering could indeed be a bit more direct, but when parking is very good. Through the large windows of the Verso is also very clear, when the parking aid parking maneuvers and the rear camera support in addition.

Toyota Verso 2013

So the van loses its terror in the city and there is just so good to move as a small car. But as an ideal family transporter, he naturally shows its strengths on the long haul. The noise insulation is up to 110 km / h very good, but then raise the wind and road noise - as so often in Japanese cars that are geared towards other speed limits than ours.

In any case, Toyota Verso has a very positive effect. He has kept its strengths, has improved in detail and can mainly has set a truly dynamic appearance. The generous space and good facilities in combination with the fair price can be sure not only the heart beat of the family head, even for the practical Van Company can be an alternative to other vehicles.

The economical diesel allows for very smooth performance, in combination with the suspension set for a car of this class a lot of fun.
