<p><strong>Caterham Superlight R300</strong></p>
<p>In the range &#8216;Superlight&#8217; there are three variants: the R400 (200 HP), the R500 (230 hp) and the <strong>Caterham Superlight R300</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Caterham Superlight R300</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>Caterham Superlight R300</strong> reading is the least over-powering (and cheapest) of the &#8220;Superlight&#8221;.

For the past 30 years, the group has been the world's leading producer of components in spite of capacitors. Thanks to its acquired know-how in extruded polymers and the storage of electrical energy, Bolloré has been working for 15 years through its subsidiary, Batscap, to advance to maturity a solid-state lithium polymer battery. This battery is able to set by, weight-for-weight, and it can be recharged in just a few hours. The battery does not require any victuals and has a lifespan of around 200,000 km (125,000 miles). Another key benefit is its unmatched safety while in operation. Added to that, the Pininfarina B0 electric car does not emit somewhat exhaust gases, nor any fine particles.

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.tuningnews.net/wallpaper/1024x768/citroen-gt-concept-01.jpg"><img style="400px;" src="http://www.tuningnews.net/wallpaper/1024x768/citroen-gt-concept-01.jpg" alt="CITROËN" border="0" /></a><br /><br />With GTbyCITROËN, a show-car presented at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Citroën becomes the first vehicle manufacturer to cross over to the implied worlds: An original take in continuance a road car, GTbyCITROËN is a style replica of a vehicle from the digital world. The car is the result of a partnership between Citroën and Polyphony, designer of the driving simulation game Gran Turismo 5 on Playstation 3. Already shipped in further than 50 very great number units worldwide, Gran Turismo is wonderful for its quality, design and realism.<br /><br /><br /><p align="justify"><strong>Performance first and foremost</strong></p> <p align="justify">GTbyCITROËN is geared to the world of motor racing, with its dynamic styling, sculpted lines and sharp graphics. The stir up end is oversized, made exaggeratedly far-seeing in order to create an effect of retinal persistence. The idea is to make the concept car even faster visually. The white-to-grey succession on the body side further underlines this impression of continuous movement.</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Top-level driving</strong></p> <p align="justify">The cabin of GTbyCITROËN, designed to seat two adults, expresses the grand touring vision behind this show-car. The on-board ambience allies premium, extensively worked materials with a more high-tech effect for the driving station. </p> <p align="justify"><br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpenITRI/AAAAAAAAABk/7J8kFdU6WIc/s1600-h/citroen-gt-concept-31.jpg"><img style="pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpenITRI/AAAAAAAAABk/7J8kFdU6WIc/s320/citroen-gt-concept-31.jpg" alt="GTbyCITROËN" border="0" /></a><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">The layout of the near the ground driving position was dictated by driving pleasure. The aim is for the driver to be able to concentrate on the road, assisted by a head-up display clearly displaying driving information.</p><p align="justify"><strong>Power and flowing lines </strong></p> <p align="justify">The design of GTbyCITROËN reflects a quest for optimal aerodynamic design. The show-car is a vehicle of flowing, taut lines, stretched to the end. The cleanly drawn sides, ribbed at the top, and the pearlescent shade of the bodywork enhance the vehicle's sleekly muscled looks.</p> <p align="justify">The determined look of the front end is enhanced by wide air intakes and sharply outlined horizontal headlamps. The headlamps feature penetrating blue LEDs in order to light the road effectively and keep rivals at a respectful distance! The chrome chevrons upon the smooth bonnet express the Marque's identity. </p> <p align="justify">The carbon rearview mirrors on their finely profiled supports appear to be suspended as if to cleave the air, giving GTbyCITROËN an excellent on-road stance.</p> <p align="justify">The large wraparound windscreen flows seamlessly into the roof and on into the rear mobile airfoil with its exaggeratedly long shape. The fast-flowing lines create the impression of a car in perpetual movement. The whole body expresses performance and connected movement. </p> <p align="justify">GTbyCITROËN also expresses strength and power through generous volumes, (longitudinal dimensions: 4.960m, 2.080m and height: 1.090m) underlined by strongly marked wheel arches. The diamond-effect 21-inch aluminium wheels enhance the car's sporty personality.</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Exceptional handling</strong></p> <p align="justify">The interior design confirms the vehicle's dynamic and powerful style. The interior of GTbyCITROËN, designed to seat a driver and co-driver, expresses the racing disposition of this general. The on-board ambience allies rich, premium, extensively worked materials through a more high-tech effect for the driving position, inspired by the earth of motorsports.</p> <p align="justify">Looking before the spectacular optical effect, the gullwing commencing of the two doors gives GTbyCITROËN a level of accessibility rarely seen on this type of vehicle. The driver and co-driver can consequently slip into their seats and get out on the track as quickly taken in the character of possible.</p> <p align="justify">The dark interior of this show-car is a bewilder, compared with the light bodywork. Upholstered in black leather with subtle touches of exquisite materials such as copper and steel, the shed of GTbyCITROËN is distinctly sporty. </p> <p align="justify">Two padded racing seats upholstered in dark leather, eddish. fitted with a four-point harness, enfold the driver and passenger for anomalous driving sensations. Placed low down to highlight the impression of hasten, the courtly seats are a expert fully informed fit with the recline of the interior.</p> <p align="justify">The top-stitched leather of the door panels and floor adds to the opulence of the interior. </p> <p align="justify">The driving position expresses the angel of emulation. The draw was objectively guided by the motivation to win. </p> <p align="justify">The dashboard, with its clean uncluttered design, flows into the receding lines of an imposing copper sculpture. The thrusting modern lines of the sculpture be changed to the central tunnel of the vehicle, illustrating the power of GTbyCITROËN and appearing to catalyse its strength.</p> <p align="justify">Created in a twist of this same copper sculpture, the leather-and-steel steering wheel also reflects the sporting spirit of the cabin. </p> <p align="justify">To aid maximum concentration, the driver of GTbyCITROËN has a head-up display for driving information. Using red LEDs, this system projects elucidation driving information – such as speed and navigation premises – onto the windscreen in the driver's direct line of vision.</p> <p align="justify">The head-up display makes a significant contribution to safeness with its direct read-out. Drivers assimilate data more immediately and do not be seized of to look away from the track.</p> <p align="justify"><strong>Aerodynamics optimised to combine performance and driving sensations</strong></p> <p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpHHP-EI/AAAAAAAAABc/BG5TZMTwn1o/s1600-h/citroen-gt-concept-11.jpg"><img style="pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpHHP-EI/AAAAAAAAABc/BG5TZMTwn1o/s320/citroen-gt-concept-11.jpg" alt="GT by CITROËN" border="0" /></a></p><p align="justify">Special emphasis was placed on the aerodynamics and flowing design of GTbyCITROËN, these being key Citroën values.

<p>With GTbyCITROËN, a show-car presented at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Citroën becomes the first vehicle manufacturer to cross over to the implied worlds: An original take in continuance a road car, GTbyCITROËN is a style replica of a vehicle from the digital world. The car is the result of a partnership between Citroën and Polyphony, designer of the driving simulation game Gran Turismo 5 on Playstation 3. Already shipped in further than 50 very great number units worldwide, Gran Turismo is wonderful for its quality, design and realism.</p>
<p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Performance first and foremost</strong></p>
<p align="justify">GTbyCITROËN is geared to the world of motor racing, with its dynamic styling, sculpted lines and sharp graphics. The stir up end is oversized, made exaggeratedly far-seeing in order to create an effect of retinal persistence. The idea is to make the concept car even faster visually. The white-to-grey succession on the body side further underlines this impression of continuous movement.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Top-level driving</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The cabin of GTbyCITROËN, designed to seat two adults, expresses the grand touring vision behind this show-car. The on-board ambience allies premium, extensively worked materials with a more high-tech effect for the driving station. </p>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpenITRI/AAAAAAAAABk/7J8kFdU6WIc/s1600-h/citroen-gt-concept-31.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sa0D3YQTj9s/SP3cpenITRI/AAAAAAAAABk/7J8kFdU6WIc/s320/citroen-gt-concept-31.jpg" alt="GTbyCITROËN" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259602544988540178" border="0" /></a>
<p align="justify"></p>
<p align="justify">The layout of the near the ground driving position was dictated by driving pleasure. The aim is for the driver to be able to concentrate on the road, assisted by a head-up display clearly displaying driving information.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Power and flowing lines </strong></p>
<p align="justify">The design of GTbyCITROËN reflects a quest for optimal aerodynamic design. The show-car is a vehicle of flowing, taut lines, stretched to the end. The cleanly drawn sides, ribbed at the top, and the pearlescent shade of the bodywork enhance the vehicle&#8217;s sleekly muscled looks.</p>
<p align="justify">The determined look of the front end is enhanced by wide air intakes and sharply outlined horizontal headlamps. The headlamps feature penetrating blue LEDs in order to light the road effectively and keep rivals at a respectful distance! The chrome chevrons upon the smooth bonnet express the Marque&#8217;s identity. </p>
<p align="justify">The carbon rearview mirrors on their finely profiled supports appear to be suspended as if to cleave the air, giving GTbyCITROËN an excellent on-road stance.</p>
<p align="justify">The large wraparound windscreen flows seamlessly into the roof and on into the rear mobile airfoil with its exaggeratedly long shape. The fast-flowing lines create the impression of a car in perpetual movement. The whole body expresses performance and connected movement. </p>
<p align="justify">GTbyCITROËN also expresses strength and power through generous volumes, (longitudinal dimensions: 4.960m, 2.080m and height: 1.090m) underlined by strongly marked wheel arches. The diamond-effect 21-inch aluminium wheels enhance the car&#8217;s sporty personality.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Exceptional handling</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The interior design confirms the vehicle&#8217;s dynamic and powerful style. The interior of GTbyCITROËN, designed to seat a driver and co-driver, expresses the racing disposition of this general. The on-board ambience allies rich, premium, extensively worked materials through a more high-tech effect for the driving position, inspired by the earth of motorsports.</p>
<p align="justify">Looking before the spectacular optical effect, the gullwing commencing of the two doors gives GTbyCITROËN a level of accessibility rarely seen on this type of vehicle. The driver and co-driver can consequently slip into their seats and get out on the track as quickly taken in the character of possible.</p>
<p align="justify">The dark interior of this show-car is a bewilder, compared with the light bodywork. Upholstered in black leather with subtle touches of exquisite materials such as copper and steel, the shed of GTbyCITROËN is distinctly sporty. </p>
<p align="justify">Two padded racing seats upholstered in dark leather, eddish. fitted with a four-point harness, enfold the driver and passenger for anomalous driving sensations. Placed low down to highlight the impression of hasten, the courtly seats are a expert fully informed fit with the recline of the interior.</p>
<p align="justify">The top-stitched leather of the door panels and floor adds to the opulence of the interior. </p>
<p align="justify">The driving position expresses the angel of emulation. The draw was objectively guided by the motivation to win. </p>
<p align="justify">The dashboard, with its clean uncluttered design, flows into the receding lines of an imposing copper sculpture. The thrusting modern lines of the sculpture be changed to the central tunnel of the vehicle, illustrating the power of GTbyCITROËN and appearing to catalyse its strength.</p>
<p align="justify">Created in a twist of this same copper sculpture, the leather-and-steel steering wheel also reflects the sporting spirit of the cabin. </p>
<p align="justify">To aid maximum concentration, the driver of GTbyCITROËN has a head-up display for driving information. Using red LEDs, this system projects elucidation driving information – such as speed and navigation premises – onto the windscreen in the driver&#8217;s direct line of vision.</p>
<p align="justify">The head-up display makes a significant contribution to safeness with its direct read-out. Drivers assimilate data more immediately and do not be seized of to look away from the track.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Aerodynamics optimised to combine performance and driving sensations</strong></p>
<p align="justify"></p>

<p align="justify">Special emphasis was placed on the aerodynamics and flowing design of GTbyCITROËN, these being key Citroën values. The objective was to enhance the vehicle&#8217;s dynamics and to create exceptional driving sensations. </p>
<p align="justify">Looking out of the reach of its taut, dynamic lines, this racing car features innovative equipment such as enlarged air intakes at the front, a level with the ground underside, and a mobile spoiler and air diffuser at the rear.

		<description><![CDATA[Given the current state of the economy and the driving public's renewed interest in high-mileage cars, it may seem like some inauspicious time to launch a vehicle associated with the words "premium" and "SUV." Volvo apparently doesn't think so, as it has an all-new small, upmarket sport/ute hitting dealerships in the approach spring.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.autofans.us/2008/09/25/first-drive-volvo-xc60-come-up-with-a-genuine-freelander-rival/"><strong>Volvo's XC60</strong></a> is a late entry to an increasingly crowded <a href="http://www.autofans.us/category/suv/"><strong>SUV </strong></a>niche even now occupied by means of the <a href="http://www.autofans.us/2008/07/08/long-term-update-4-2007-acura-rdx/"><strong>Acura RDX</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.autofans.us/2008/07/10/spy-shots-2011-bmw-x3/"><strong>BMW X3</strong></a>, Infiniti EX35, and newcomers<a href="http://www.autofans.us/2008/08/25/abt-sportsline-tweaks-the-audi-q5/"><strong> Audi Q5 </strong></a>and <a href="http://www.autofans.us/2008/07/30/first-drive-2010-mercedes-benz-glk350/"><strong>Mercedes-Benz GLK</strong></a>. Does it have the right mix of style and substance to be a segment player? The eyeballs say yes.<br /><br />"Historically, Volvo's interpretation of DNA signified 'Do Not Abandon' the design traditions," says Steve Mattin, Volvo Cars aim monitor. "We have now expanded its sense to redefine DNA as seizing a Dramatic New Approach."<br /><p style="center"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.autofans.us/images/Volvo/2009%20Volvo%20XC60%201.jpg"><img width="375" src="http://www.autofans.us/images/Volvo/2009%20Volvo%20XC60%201.jpg" alt="2009 Volvo XC60" height="234" style="234px" /></a></p><br /><!--more-->Dramatic it is. Volvo says the XC60 is its first production vehicle to demonstrate this recent design approach and, at first censure, you might think these Swedes have been smoking more than just salmon up in Gothenberg. For the XC60 is truly organically inspired: peradventure the curviest Volvo ever, certainly more voluptuous than the former looker of the line, the C30. In fact, the XC60's curvaceous curb appeal may do Volvo more harm than good, as it instantly dates the current lineup, making some seem as stodgy and slabsided like your aunt's 240D.<br /><br />While base architecture comes from the S80 sedan and is shared through LR2, the sheetmetal that covers this shortened chassis is all new. The XC60 starts wide, with standard 18-in. "Mantus" wheels and remains broad until just under the beltline, which gives it a powerful SUV stance. Set in atop this strong foundation is a greenhouse said to resemble a sport coupe in that way it peaks over the front two occupants before smooth back to the tail. What keeps this from looking simply like a tall wagon stretched below the door handles is a beltline that slopes slightly upward front to back. This gives the XC60 a subtly aggressive posture, like an animal ready to pounce.<br /><br />The principally well-formed touches are reserved for the front and rear treatments. The XC60's face is set off by the agency of stylish projector-beam headlights, vertical DRL slashes, and a trapezoidal grille surrounding a manly take on the traditional Volvo logo. Volvo's signature curved brake lights flank a rear quicken that recalls the C30.<br /><br />At 182.2 in. diffuse, the XC60 is 8.3 in. shorter than the XC70, but right in the wheelhouse of other two-row, five-passenger premium SUVs. With an moving 9.1 in. of ground clearance, the XC60 is quick for more cross-country wheelin' than are most crossovers. This kind of clearance not only puts the XC60 ahead of everyone in its class, but ahead of many larger body-on-frame SUVs, including the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Ford Expedition.<br /><br />Interior styling is not so much dramatic and more a nod to smart Scandinavian project. Signature Volvo styling cues are everywhere, from the elegant floating center console and HVAC controls to the comfortable seats covered in soft leather. Our test model was particularly handsome; the exterior metallic brown paint (Terra Bronze Pearl) matched for one's advantage through the amalgamation of smooth best part and black pebbled leather and large-grain, dark-brown vinyl on the doors, dash, and seats.<br /><br />Rear seat highest and legroom are on the generous side for this class, although cargo-carrying capacity runs only middle of the pack at 30.8 cu ft behind the second row, and 67.4 cu ft with 40/20/40 seats folded down.<br /><br />Though other markets will see a range of gas and diesel engines, and front- for example well as all-wheel-drive models, there will be only unit model offered for the U.S. market at launch, the XC60 T6 AWD. This AWD type is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L I-6 that spools out 281 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.<br /><br />This in a cross direction mounted engine powers completely four wheels via All Wheel Drive with Instant Traction, essentially Volvo's family for the Haldex IV all-wheel compel. Under legitimate driving conditions, this front-drive-biased system usually sends 90% of torque to the front wheels. However, under hard acceleration or situations of limited traction, as a leading quantity as 65% of torque can be sent to the rear wheels.<br /><br />Such launches are impressively quick. Volvo claims its 4200-lb five-seater will accelerate to 60 mph in just over 7 sec, though from the pilot's chair, such straightline dashes feel quicker. The throttle responds eagerly when nudged and delivers a pleasing growl when crushed. Upshifts in normal driving mode are smooth, though additional crisp when the gearshift is slotted to the right. Manually toggling the six-speed automatic gearbox is fun, but nowhere near quick as some of the fancier transmissions on the market.<br /><br />Canyon-carving sessions are surprisingly rewarding given Volvo's antecedence on safety. Clearly its engineers took a different tack by the XC60 and gave on-road exhibition a high position put on the agenda. Despite the class-leading ground clearance, the XC60 doesn't feel tall or unstable. Credit its strong and responsive MacPherson-strut front and multilink rear suspension that minimizes body roll through corners. Though you can not at any time turn them completely from, Volvo's traction and stability-control systems (DTSC, RSC) don't kill the fun too quickly; the XC60 will slide and squeal more than expected before throttle is cut and brakes are gently applied. Too bad the comfortable seats don't cope by this chassis tuning: Though great for highway cruising, they lack the lateral support for spirited country-road cornering.<br /><br />The city is where all of the XC60 makes the most sense. Volvo has made its entry-level, premium SUV quiet and effortless to drive, with good sightlines and agile reflexes. It's given it numerous custom options as well: The driver be possible to dial in everything from steering heft, to following distance for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to an assortment of beeps for the Parking Assist (PA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems. Most of these controls are thoughtfully arranged if it be not that given the large pack of safety features, accessing them all be possible to sometimes be difficult.<br /><br />As inventors of such landmark automotive safety technologies as the three-point seatbelt and curtain airbag, it is impossible to mention a new Volvo without commenting on its new safety features. The XC60 does not disappoint, as it features several familiar technologies as well as some surprising fresh ones.<br /><br />Volvo's current safety offerings are an absolute alphabet soup of acronyms. In addition to ACC, PA, and LDW, here are scarcely any other thing standard and optional safety features: DAC (Driver Alert Control), DA (Distance Alert), BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), DTSC (Dynamic Traction Stability Control), RSC (Roll Stability Control), CWAB (Collision Warning by Auto Brake), WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System), and TSA (Towing Stability Assist).<br /><br />Most impressive is the new crash-avoidance system called City Safety that makes its debut on the XC60. Designed to interrupt or lessen the damage from rear-end collisions, the system uses a laser sensor mounted behind the rearview mirror, which scans the road ahead for the sake of slowing or stopped vehicles. Once one is identified and a collision is deemed imminent, City Safety fires the brakes at full force to either prevent or at least lessen impact. City Safety operates only at speeds under 19 mph and when the system detects no or insufficient input from the driver. It is mostly efficient at closing speeds of 9 mph or in a less degree. At these speeds, Volvo claims the system can escape most rear-end collisions entirely.<br /><br />We had an opportunity to try this system on a specially designed course and came away impressed. Even when impact seemed a foregone conclusion, City Safety intervened with a forceful beating of the brakes and stopped the vehicle with inches to spare. Those who fear Big Brother may grumble, but anyone who has ever been involved in a rear-end accident will rejoice. Volvo has indubitably been able to negotiate be clouded premiums with auto assurance companies for the XC60 based put on the performance of City Safety. In fact, with etc. of City Safety as standard equipment to the host of other upright and discretional safety systems, Volvo claims the XC60 is the safest vehicle it's ever made.<br /><br />[source:MotorTrend]<br /><br />Other Volvo Cars:<br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2008/03/volvo-c30-r-design-priced-from-26445-in.html"><strong>Volvo C30 R-Design priced from $26,445 in 2008 New York Auto Show</strong></a><br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2008/03/volvo-to-offer-t6-engine-option-in-xc70.html"><strong>Volvo to offer T6 engine option in XC70 this fall</strong></a><br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2008/02/leakage-volvo-xc60-shots-hit-net-before.html"><strong>Leakage: Volvo XC60 shots hit the 'Net before 2008 Geneva Motor Show</strong></a><br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/12/volvo-has-launched-all-new-sporty-trim.html"><strong>Volvo has launched every all-new sporty trim level to its distinctive C30, however is it a very warm hatch beater?</a><br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/10/latest-volvo-xc60-suv-adds-style-to.html"><strong>Latest Volvo XC60 SUV adds style to a practical 4x4 package</strong></a><br /><strong>+    </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/06/first-drive-2008-volvo-s40v50.html"><strong>First Drive: 2008 Volvo S40/V50</strong></a><br /><strong>+   </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/06/test-drive2007-volvo-s80-v8-awd.html"><strong>Test Drive:2007 Volvo S80 V8 AWD</strong></a><br /><strong>+   </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-drive-experience-volvo-xc70-d5.html"><strong>First Drive Experience-Volvo XC70 D5</strong></a><br /><strong>+   </strong><a href="http://autocar-show.blogspot.com/2007/05/first-drive-experience-volvo-v70-32.html"><strong>First Drive Experience-Volvo V70 3.2 Geartronic</strong></a>]]></description>
