primo: è un articolo di Autoexpress e non di un qualsivoglia forum... anzi effetivamente è di EVO secondo: data 12/11/2003... se me lo chiami SCOOP! probabilissimo che quello che dicono siano caxxate o cose ormai superate...

Bella ci!

è una corolla 4porte

da autobild.de

oppure se non si vuole sminuire il marchio Ferrari (ma secondo me non sarebbe così) si potrebbe fare con un altro marchio... per dire: una Lancia Stratos?

ma a parte quello si potrebbe benissimo fare un modello più piccolo, no?

è chiaro che la forma della parte posteriore è dettata in primo luogo da motivi aerodinamici. Per il resto non mi sembra affatto male! Magari con una coda più "tradizionale" stile SCC... Comunque è molto simile alla YCC vista di recente, anche se la coda è molto più rastremata

Non so se ne è già parlato, ma vista la crescita della F430 rsipetto alla modena, il caro petrolio e il fatto che il marchio ferrari è il più "caldo" del momento, non sarebbe il caso di produrre un nuovo modello di attacco, magari 3.0 v6 tipo dino?

Eh si ce ne sarebbe da leggere! (e spendere...) comunque anche a me le prese d'aria così non mi sembrano stonate... un po' meno convincenti i fari anteriori, anche se molto sofisticati...

se parli del qashqai o come si chiama, hai proprio ragione è veramente notevole!

questo? Ok, me lo comprerò

molte grazie!

Si è sempre detto che le prese d'aria della F430 aono ispirate alla f1 anni 60... ma allora quel muso sulla parete dello stand a parigi da dove viene? [click per ingrandire]

concordo pienamente con fulvio e per quello che mi riguarda posso dire che dal vivo l'ho trovata migliore che in foto. I nuovi elementi si inseriscono bene e non snaturano il design complessivo dell'auto. Peccato solo per quelle linee stile villa d'este andate perse (come qualcuno ha già detto). Al contrario, la 166 prima serie non mi è mai piaciuta, fin da quando vidi le prime foto spia del frontale scoperto... :roll: [si parla sempre e solo del design]

Visto su autoscoops.nl, postato da fasteddy Volvo 3CC: Volvo offers a personal solution to sustainable mobility Volvo Car Corp. has issued the following press release: Volvo Car Corporation is rewriting the rulebook on how it will use its cars in the future with its 3CC prototype being unveiled to the public for the first time at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Shanghai, 12-14 October. From the outside, the Volvo 3CC has a cool tapered shape designed to make a dynamic statement that nonetheless is unmistakably Volvo. Under the bonnet is an electric powertrain that quietly propels the Volvo 3CC to a governed top speed of over 135 km/h (85 mph) and delivers zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration in approximately 10 seconds – with zero emissions! Just 3899 mm long, 1624 mm wide and 1321 mm high, the Volvo 3CC has dimensions similar to a classic 2-seater sports car – but that is where similarities end. For the sporty vehicle packs a surprise: a unique two-plus-one configuration, providing seating for two adults in the front and a unique rear seat solution for an additional adult or two children. This 3-seat configuration provides a unique experience with regards to the occupants' communication, unprecedented rear occupant's comfort and all-around visibility for all passengers. "With the Volvo 3CC, Volvo Cars is pioneering a new way of looking at mobility so future generations can enjoy the same freedoms the car has given my generation. We believe it is necessary to show new ways to reduce pollution and congestion," says Lars Erik Lundin, Vice President & General Manager of the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center VMCC. The Volvo 3CC is the brainchild of the designers, engineers and business people at the Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center think-tank in California. Their task was to create a `future-proof concept´ that would enhance sustainable mobility. A car not only fuel-efficient, versatile, comfortable, and safe, but also exciting to drive and look at. "We want to connect in a positive way with consumers so that they say ‘I want to be seen in this car’," Lars Erik Lundin explains. "We want to add emotional value to people’s lives by offering an environmentally compatible car that appeals to all the senses, and which people want to drive." Despite its compactness, the Volvo 3CC has been designed to feel spacious through organic lines, and light colours. Inside, the fixed eye plane ergonomics and low profile A-pillar create a sense of openness aided by three transparent panels in the roof. As the doors open by swinging upwards, a floating dash panel slides forward to ease ingress and egress. A unique sliding seat system also assists access to the rear seat. The pedals also adjust for individual requirements. But Volvo Car Corporation's aim was not just to make the 3CC look good – they also wanted to deliver on overall sustainable mobility goals by providing excellent efficiency. Volvo has achieved this objective through good aerodynamics on a compact footprint, lightweight body materials, and an electric powertrain. Volvo opted to give the Volvo 3CC a high strength steel space frame, composite sandwich floor panels for safety and light weight and an outer body which is a bonded one piece carbon fibre shell. The resulting chassis rigidity together with its innovative suspension give the car great handling characteristics. "The double floor used to house the electric energy storage makes the concept future-proof in that the layout can be adapted for the most appropriate powertrain in the future, whether it be petrol, diesel, biogas, or hybrid electric," explains Ichiro Sugioka, Science Officer at VMCC in California. "In Shanghai, we are demonstrating the electric powertrain, one of the most challenging to package into a vehicle, to highlight its potential where there is abundance of renewable energy that can be converted to electricity." Meticulous wind tunnel tests resulted in an enhanced aerodynamic efficiency that is 30% better than the new S40 sedan. With a potential driving range of over 300 km (180 miles) under certain driving conditions, the torque-to-weight ratio is roughly comparable to the powerful T5 model, but available over 0-3500 rpm. In typical driving conditions, about 20 percent of the energy can be recovered by regenerative braking. This performance is achieved using a drivetrain specifically designed for the Volvo 3CC, although it too is a prototype. The electric power comes from lithium-ion cells, identical to those used in modern laptop computers, that are packaged in the thin sandwich floor. Front wheel driven, the Volvo 3CC at Shanghai has double wishbone front and rear suspension. The front suspension includes horizontally mounted adjustable coil over shocks that give a low bonnet line, whilst the rear suspension includes vertically mounted adjustable coil over shocks. Due to the vehicle's light weight and the power of the regenerative electric braking, unassisted brakes provide good stopping power. The 3CC uses Michelin Pilot Sport 215/45 ZR18 tyres, which are normally found on supercars, to maximise performance. The interior of the Volvo 3CC offers ergonomic positioning for both driver and front passenger. Unique solutions include replacing instrument panel toggles with proximity sensors that are activated by a finger, as it gets to within 5 mm, to adjust lights, climate, and audio system. "Rather than refining existing cars and technologies for new markets, Volvo has listened, questioned and speculated about the future and developed this all new concept," says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President of Brand, Product & Business Strategy. "We think the Volvo 3CC opens a door into that future and we will develop the concept further." Fonte:Autoindex.org http://autoindex.org/news.plt?no=949#

While most tourists were pointing their cameras at one of the world's most active volcanoes, Auto Express reader Slobodan Latinovic was busy snapping a top-secret test car - and we're really glad he did. These two pictures are the best yet of Fiat's new large family car, which won't be officially unveiled until March's Geneva Motor Show. Slobodan, from Cambridge, contacted Auto Express soon after returning to the UK. "During our recent holiday to Sicily, my wife and I visited Mount Etna, and I spotted a heavily disguised Fiat. I heard it running and the car clearly had a diesel engine." ... The car has yet to be named, and is referred to internally as the Large. However, insiders have told us the fresh addition to the Fiat line-up will definitely come to the UK in right-hand-drive form, with the first deliveries pencilled in for next autumn. da Auto Express articolo completo http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae_news_story.php?id=50632

From AutoCar mag Autocar has caught Smart’s Fortwo replacement testing in Germany for the first time. Due to reach UK showrooms towards the end of 2006, the second-generation microcar sticks to its roots, with tiny dimensions, rear-mounted three-cylinder engines and an upbeat two-seat cabin. Even with an overall length of around 2585mm – up 80mm – the new Fortwo will remain the shortest car on sale. Smart is also retaining its trademark Tridion steel safety cell and plastic exterior panels, and it will again be sold as a coupé and cabriolet. The new entry-level Smart has been re-engineered from the ground up to quell concerns about its high-speed stability and lumpy ride. A new rear-wheel-drive platform has wider tracks than the existing Fortwo for a more stable stance. Examine our scoop photos closely and you can see the rear wheels on this prototype sit further back in the wheelarches than on today’s car, indicating that the 1810mm wheelbase will be stretched. The geometry of the MacPherson strut (front) and De Dion (rear) suspension will be totally overhauled, and insiders at Smart’s HQ in Sindelfingen claim the main challenge is to improve its dynamic abilities. ... Significantly, the car seen here wears plates from the German city of Bottrop, suggesting Smart’s performance partner Brabus is involved in the development. ... Autocar can reveal Smart is also planning a new sub-B segment offering to slot between the city car and the Forfour supermini. It is conceived around a three-seat layout and, if it is approved by Mercedes chairman Jürgen Hubbert, the production car will be called Forthree Complete article: http://www.autocarmagazine.co.uk/news_article.asp?na_id=209383
