Audi R4

On a motor show in Detroit company Audi has presented the new version of the electric coupe e-tron. And, this time it is a question of "the facilitated" variant of the car. The new car not only is less on dimensions of the big brother (the premiere of the first version e-tron has passed in September of last year on a motor show in Frankfurt), but also has more simple power-plant. If last year's e-tron had at once four engines total capacity of 313 h.p. and a twisting moment already in 4500 Nm, but the new car possesses only two electromotors which work exclusively with a rear axle. Capacity of these cursors makes 201 h.p. that allows to disperse the car of 0-100 km/h for 5,9 sec.



Thanks to the capacious accumulator which 400 kg weigh almost, Audi e-tron it is capable to pass without additional charge of 250 km that for an electromobile quite decent distance. Well and to recharge the car, as always in such cases, it is possible as from the usual socket connection (it will demand several hours), and from special installation. Last will allow to "fill" the car less than in an hour. It is interesting that showing in Detroit new concept Audi solves at once two problems. First, shows to public the potential. And, secondly, checks reaction of potential buyers to appearance of this model. After all there are all bases to assume that the design e-tron will lay down in a basis of serial coupe R4.

Volare The Aston Martin Sports Car Concept is an eco-friendly

Aston Martin Volare is an eco-friendly

The Aston Martin Volare is a proposal for a next-generation Aston Martin supercar which features an environmentally friendly drivetrain. Aston Martin, like all other supercar manufacturers, faces a dilemma over the next decade; How to dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of their vehicles while also maintaining performance levels which are equal, or superior, to past models.

 

Volare The Aston Martin Sports Car Concept

The Aston Martin Volare is a design study of a two-seater sportscar that combines the typical styling cues of the brand with a fuel-cell powertrain and an interior characterized by the use of eco-friendly materials. The author is Coventry graduate James Trim. The two-seater Aston Martin Volare Concept features a high-power fuel cell stack, located between the front seats, a rear mounted battery pack, and a co-axial electric motor at the front. To aid the Volare’s weight distribution, the two hydrogen storage tanks have been positioned directly above the car’s rear axle. The Aston Martin Volare concept was a vehicle developed by James Trim during his final year at Coventry University studying Automotive Design. He is currently looking for placement opportunities.

Speaking about the exterior design of the concept, James Trim explains, "The underlying aim when designing the Volare was to combine present day technologies with the profile of a car that would be instantaneously recognisable as that of an Aston Martin."

Trim said of the design; “Aesthetically the vehicle sharpens up the familiar Aston Martin proportions, with much crisper shoulders and a noticeable ‘floating’ rear deck. The solid front grille was inspired by the older V8 Vantage, while the flexible front fenders can alter their shape to reveal daytime running lights or full headlamps.”

The interior uses eco-friendly leather. The materials used in the tanning process are derived from sustainable, farm bred, Mimosa trees. The natural extract from the trees is used to produce the chemicals necessary for farming leather.

This results in an enironmentally-friendly natural process, producing breathable and highly flexible hides. The center console is made from recycled aluminium. The emerging binnacle and Bang & Olufsen twin lens speakers add a touch of theatre to the cabin. "The principle concern being confronted by Aston Martin is the harmful impact their cars are having on the environment. With this in mind, the Aston Martin Volare retains the fantastic sound and outright performance customary with that of a gasoline equivalent.

Side from the eco-friendly drivetrain, another dictating factor in the Volare’s design was the desire to create a car which was instantly recognizable as an Aston Martin. It was important that the styling was influenced more by the heritage of the brand, rather than the source of power. On the Volare concept all the hallmarks of Aston Martin are instantly apparent, sleek profile, short front and rear overhangs, trademark grille, powerful rear arches and uncluttered lines.
