GM planning to put Cadillac Converj into production

Posted under Auto, Cadillac on Saturday, 28 November 2009 by theautoabc

General Motors is planning to put the Cadillac Converj into production.

Apparently, the production version of the Cadillac Converj will be a hybrid model, powered by an electric motor developing more than 150 hp and 370 Nm of torque and a 1.4-liter petrol engine.

However, the petrol engine will not be used to actually power the Cadillac Converj, but to re-charge the battery need for the electric motor.

The same sources say the production version of the Cadillac Converj will be able to run only on electricity for around 60 km on fully charged battery.

Although this information has not been officially confirmed, a production version of the Cadillac Converj is very likely.

Posted under Auto, BMW on Saturday, 28 November 2009 by theautoabc

The German company has unveiled the BMW Concept 6 motorbike which is powered by a newly developed straight-six engine.

The engine of the BMW Concept 6 is around 100 mm or 4″ slimmer than all former unit.

The engine of the BMW Concept 6 comes with dry sump lubrication which helps keep the crankcase particularly low and flat which in turn means the engine can be fitted lower.

The power output of the BMW Concept 6 is almost the same as the company’s 1.3-litre straight-four engines, but the torque is significantly higher matching the one from 1.6 liter engines. This means the BMW Concept 6 outputs 130 Nm or 96 lb-ft of torque from just 2,000 rpm. The bike can rev up to 9,000 rpm.

Prodrive Alfa Romeo Brera S 3.2 Limited Edition

Posted under Alfa Romeo, Auto on Saturday, 28 November 2009 by theautoabc

Making its world debut alongside the Autodelta Alfa Romeo 159 J4 3.2 C at this weekend’s MPH09 Motor Show in London is the yet another Autodelta model, the Brera 3.2 C Compressore which is based on the UK market Brera S. A recent project between Alfa Romeo UK and Prodrive, the limited edition Brera S 3.2 features many upgrades the most significant being a weight loss of 100 kg (220 pounds) thanks to the use of front-wheel drive rather than the standard Brera V6’s Q4 all-wheel drive system and a sportier suspension.

The addition of Autodelta’s supercharging kit with an intercooler boosts the 3.2-liter V6 engine’s output from 260 bhp and 322 Nm to a more potent 352-horsepower and 435 Nm (320.8 lb-ft) of torque. No performance figures have been released yet for the Brera S 3.2 Compressore.

Traction is further improved by the fitting of Autodelta’s bespoke mechanical limited slip differential (LSD) that operates in combination with the Brera’s standard electronic Q2 system. According to the tuner, the mechanical LSD works in a more natural way as the Q2 only operates in more extreme driving scenarios by applying the brakes to transfer power to the required corner, offering better feedback to the driver.

Finally, the package includes Autodelta’s height-adjustable Sportline suspension kit. The new coilover suspension features specific new spring rates and 40 different firmness adjustment settings that can adjusted by the driver.
