2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Roadster

For the first time Mercedes-Benz is offering a choice of three variants of the lightweight-construction vario-roof for the new SLK: in just a few seconds this feature transforms the roadster into a coupe with a “fixed” roof at the touch of a button – and vice versa: The standard version is a roof painted in the vehicle color. Optionally available is a panorama vario-roof with dark-tinted glass. The third option is a world premiere – the panorama vario-roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL. This glass roof switches to light or dark at the press of a button. In light mode it is virtually transparent, offering an open-air experience even in cold weather. In its dark state the roof provides welcome shade and prevents the interior from heating up from the sun’s rays. In other words: a comfortable atmosphere at the touch of a button.

The new Toyota Auris HYBRID 2010 engine range features a choice of three petrol and three diesel units offering the performance- and economy-enhancing benefits of Toyota Optimal Drive. Complemented by the Auris HSD’s full hybrid technology, this unique line-up will offer customers the most comprehensive range of powertrains in the C segment.
While Toyota's European press department gave us only a pair of photos and no details whatsoever on the revised 2010 Auris pointing towards the Geneva Show for more information, the Japanese firm's UK arm announced the launch of facelifted model releasing pricing as well specifications.
Furthermore, Toyota revealed that the sales of the British-built full hybrid Auris HSD that shares its gasoline-electric drivetrain with the Prius Hybrid will commence in July. We expect to see the production version of the Auris HSD making its world premiere at the Geneva Show in March.
Toyota wants us to believe that Auris has been fully restyled on the outside, but fact is, we doubt that your average buyer will even notice the changes.
These include a new deep front bumper, reshaped headlamps, revised grille and bonnet profile with stronger crease lines plus newly styled 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The revised tail lamp clusters, the new rear bumper with extended corner sections and the integrated turn indicators on the door mirrors complete the exterior makeover.
Inside, Toyota said (but did not show) that a soft-touch material has been introduced across the top of the instrument binnacle and around the glovebox, while the centre console has been revised with changes to the instrument design.

The new white illumination for the Optitron instrument dials and the new cloth upholstery designs round off the interior updates.
Toyota added that the it has also fine-tuned the Auris' suspension and steering systems to improve driver feedback and handling.

With the exception of the Auris HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) that will go on sale in July, the are no changes to the rest of the engine range that comprises a 1.33-litre petrol engine with Toyota Stop & Start technology, a 1.6 Valvematic petrol with manual or MultiMode transmission and 1.4 D-4D diesel, again with manual gearbox or Multimode.
In the UK, the revised Auris in three- and five-door body styles is on sale now with prices ranging from £14,463 to £16,495 - see detailed pricing in the list above.

The New Born

Ide modifikasi

Dengan ide kreatif dan liarnya, Vero mencoba membuat sebuah mobil yang berbentuk mirip dengan laba-laba, sehingga mobil ini diberi nama Tarantula. Diakui Vero kalau Tarantula merupakan turunan dari Jollyjumper, mobil yang juga hasil garapannya. Tapi kali ini sang empunya mobil ingin menunjukkan skill untuk menghasilkan mobil ratrod dengan finishing yang rapih dan mulus hingga ke detail. Selain itu, lewat mobil ini dirinya juga ingin membuat mobil terceper yang pernah ada namun juga bisa nyaman ketika dikendarai.

Untuk mewujudkan hal itu, sektor kaki-kaki mendapatkan perhatian yang lebih. Sedangkan bagian atap di choptop sebanyak 8 inci. Dibagian suspensinya, pria berbadan besar ini mencangkok sistem suspensi memakai air suspension . “Supaya saat kondisi parkir, mobil yang di beri julukan Tarantula ini lebih ceper lagi dari Jolly jumper, tapi saat jalan juga bisa naik hingga 18cm (sangat lebih dari cukup, karenalebih tinggi dari Honda Jazz bagian bawahnya) bila saya butuhkan” ujarnya. Kaki-kaki pada Tarantula mencangkok sistem as roda Independent, yang dapat bergerak masing-masing. Dengan ini kestabilan mobil ketika melibas tikungan menjadi semakin mantap.

Detil, rapi & unik

Proses pengerjaan 'si Tarantula' ini bisa dibilang cukup lama. Kurang lebih memakan waktu hingga 20 bulan, ini terjadi karena sang empunya mobil ingin membuat sebuah mobil hotrod (ratrod) yang punya finishing rapih, cantik dilihat, terasa nyaman saat dikendarai, handling-nya stabil, super rendah dan unik. Banyak yang bingung kenapa kali ini ketika membangun Tarantula bisa rapih dan catnya mulus? “Dulu sewaktu bikin Jollyjumper dibalur dengan warna doff dan terkesan sangar bukan karena tidak bisa bikin yang rapih, tapi karena saya tahu maunya apa” ungkapnya.

Kesulitan saat membangun mobil hampir tidak ada karena sudah ada pengalaman dalam membangun mobil-mobil hotrod, tapi ketika mobil sudah jadi barulah timbul kesulitan, hal ini karena suspensi memakai air suspension yang jumlahnya 3 balon, titik kesulitannya yaitu ketika memposisikan mobil untuk parkir ada kesulitan tersendiri dan juga untuk memposisikan dudukan mobil ketika di naikkan. “Sekarang kalo bawa mobil ini, semuanya harus diukur dua kali yaitu ketika parkir dan ketika di naikkan, soalnya 2 kali lebih sulit!”tambahnya.

Untuk urusan performa, Tarantula yang bermesin 5700 cc ini dirasa tidak ada masalah walaupun menggunakan transmisi automatic. Yang pasti, pengendaliannya lebih responsive dan lebih stabil dibandingkan dengan Jollyjumper. “Tapi karena bodynya mulus dll, jadinya agak ngilu untuk di tekak-tekuk karena sayang, walaupun sebenarnya bisa” pungkasnya.

Subaru Ballistic Of Accelera

Publik Jakarta kembali terhenyak ketika ditampilkan Subaru Ballistic yang sudah sampai pada evolusi generasi ke-3

Future Design

Untuk model dari Ballistic-3 ini, mirip dengan mobil konsep yang didesain Mazda California Design Studio dan Swift Engineering, Mazda Furai. Dan untuk membentuk mobil ini seperti Mazda Furai, hanya sasis bawaan saja yang disisakan, lainnya dibuang. Sebagai penguat tambahan dan juga berfungsi sebagai tulang bodi, 3 buah jenis besi disematkan didalamnya yaitu besi siku, besi gepeng dan besi pipa dimana masing-masing besi ini disesuaikan dengan bentuk dan juga penempatannya. Besi siku bertindak sebagai penguat sisi kulit bodi, besi gepeng berukuran 1.2 mm untuk bagian bodi yang menghadap keatas dan yang terakhir yaitu besi pipa dipergunakan untuk membentuk pilar A, B sampai belakang.

Bagian dek dalam pun didesain ulang dengan aplikasi bahan aluminium setebal 1.2 mm dengan penempatannya direndahkan dan berpatokan 3-5 cm dibawah kopel bawaan. Hal ini juga yang mempengaruhi posisi duduk dan juga ketinggian atap. Sedangkan untuk bodi, seluruhnya terbuat dari bahan fiberglass, kontur bodinya yang “berstruktur” menyerupai desain alur angin dengan baluran airbrush warna silver, hitam dan merah yang mengacu pada shadow concept semakin mempertegas kesan futuristiknya.

Interior Sports Car

Aroma sports car terasa kental ketika melongok kedalam area kabin. Mulai dari jok yang dibuat single seater dan mengadopsi konsep kenyamanan dari gokart. Belum lagi dengan setirnya yang digarap menyerupai kemudi pesawat. Dari area inilah, instrumen-instrumen dan tombol-tombol yang ada difungsikan serta tetap menjunjung estetika sebuah sports car. Dan untuk lebih mengentalkan nuansa sports car, dashboard dilapisi material berbahan suede dan yang lainnya berbahan sintetik berwarna hitam dengan jahitan warna merah.

Konstruksi sistem motorize yang tersembunyi, membuat konsepsi engsel dan trigger perantara menjadi cukup rumit. Akan tetapi kesemuanya tetap mampu dibuat dengan rapi dan tidak meninggalkan fungsi dasarnya. Dan yang mampu membuat publik berdecak kagum adalah dengan mengaplikasi cellular security system custom yang mampu membuat mobil mampu dihidupkan dari jarak jauh dengan perantaraan ponsel. Begitu juga untuk mematikan mesin mobil, cara yang sama juga dipakai. Untuk itu dibutuhkan bantuan komputer CT2 autolock, untuk mengatur pergerakan motor starternya agar dapat bekerja secara sempurna. Komputer ini tinggal menyesuaikan waktu kerjanya sampai menyentuh titik picu agar mesin dapat hidup sempurna.

Dengan kualitas akhir (finishing) bodi yang sangat cermat dan penerapan konsep serta ide yang benar-benar matang dengan detail yang bisa dibilang baik dan presisi, membuahkan hasil modifikasi ekstrim yang patut untuk selalu diacungi jempol. Congratulation...!

The flow of wind

Since the appearance of the first car its design has been significantly changed. Modern cars are very fast, comfortable, and aerodynamic, yet it's not the limit of the development in this domain. Thus Japanese designers have recently managed to create quite a futuristic car that looks very unusual.

This latest design direction of Mazda Company was called "Taiki". The appearance of such an original design was inspired by the shape and flow of wind. Their challenge was to create "a design that visually expresses the flow of air and the atmosphere" - called "taiki" in Japanese. The shape of the car's back, especially of the back wheels, has no right lines, but curves. It's so unusual that it's hardly possible to imagine that there was something of this kind before. Due to its shape given concept seems to be extremely aerodynamic, yet no other information about its characteristic features is available.

Anyway this gadget can be considered as a very forward thinking one. I would say that it's a breath of fresh air in a slightly stale auto show season. However it's not the fact that there will be a significant number of proponents of such a bold design.
