2010 CHEVROLET BEAT DETAILED REVIEW

The Chevrolet Beat was born to rewrite all expectations about small segment cars. The name "Beat" is very apt for this car. The new Chevrolet Beat is a small segment car which gives a lot new features that any other cars in the same category doesn't give. Let us move to the review section.

Design

The new Cherolet Beat's design is entirely different from any car in the same category. The design is in one word - Radical.

The new Chevrolet Beat is built upon modified platform of Chevrolet Spark. But the new Beat has larger dimensions than it's predecessor - Spark. The Beat which is larger than Maruti Suzuki A-Star has more interior space than Maruti Suzuki Ritz. The dickie space is slightly lesser than that in Ritz. The wheelbase is also slightly larger than that of Ritz and A-Star.

The new Chevrolet Beat has the look of new generation Chevrolets - Large grill and the large Chevrolet logo on the center of the grill and musculine bumper and bonnet.

In first look, the Beat is a three door hatchback. Because the back door handle is placed behind the back door glass area. This gives a sporty look for our stuff. The rear side of the car also has a radical design. The spoiler is integrated in the body itself.

The new Beat's interior color is light black. The fabric seats have good finish and look. Enough leg space is available. Storage space is also sufficient. The consoles including speedometer are arranged behind the steering. The consoles definitely have a fresh look.

Driving

The 4 cylinder 1199 cc engine preserves Euro-4 standards. The maximum power that can be generated by this engine is 79.4 bhp @ 6200 rpm and maxmum torque is 108 Nm @ 4400 rpm. The reason behind the amazing pick up of beat is nothing other than the power delivery of this engine. In addition, the low weight of 965 kg also contributes to the pick up.

Breaking performance and gear shift comfort are excellent. 150/70 R14 inch tubeless tyres are used in Chevrolet Beat.

The Chevrolet Beat will have 4 variants - Chevrolet Beat PS, Chevrolet Beat LS, Chevrolet Beat LT and Chevrolet Beat LT Option. The Chevrolet Beat LT Option has all facilities such as ABS brakes, alloy wheels and spoilers except electronically adjustable wing mirrors.

SUBARU HYBRID TOURIER CONCEPT SPECIFICATIONS AND REVIEW

The Subaru Hybrid Tourier concept possess Subaru's latest evolutions in handling agility, riding comfort and superior safety performance. It proposes Subaru's vision of a future grand touring car that excels in environmental friendliness thanks to Subaru's unique hybrid system.

Let's take a look at the features of Subaru Hybrid Tourier:-

Exterior

The Subaru Hybrid Tourier concept hs a luxurious and comfortable cabin, and advanced driving performance are contained within a sculpted aerodynamic form. The design features a combination of bright, open glass areas with a solid, reliable body.

Interior

The significant feature of the ideal grand touring concept is its interior design, with four independent and comfortably positioned seats.

Other major features are:-

• The top of the dashboard is movable up and down to provide an optimal driving environment for the driver according to driving conditions.
• A flat floor in the rear seat was achieved even with the implementation of AWD, for improved use and movement inside the cabin.
• Specialized shielding is incorporated in the windshield to reduce eyestrain on the driver.
• New leather covering developed with superior breathability and a ventilation function is used in the seats for improved comfort and texture.

Mechanisms

In addition to refinements to Subaru's core technology such as Symmetrical AWD and Horizontally-Opposed Boxer Engine, further enhancements were made for improved environmental friendliness, driving performance and high safety performance by offering a next-generation power unit system and advanced safety technologies.

The 2.0 liter horizontally opposed gasoline engine, with a reputation for powerful acceleration is combined with direct fuel injection system for improvements in fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, and improved torque and response in practical range.

Lineartronic (CVT)

Lineartronic, Subaru's new generation automatic transmission, achieves further improvements in both fuel efficiency and driving performance by reinforcing parts for use with the high-power output of a turbo engine.

Hybrid system

• To further enhance the appeal of the Symmetrical AWD system, this unique hybrid two-motor system features a power/drive motor in the front and a drive motor in the rear.
• At start-up and extremely low speeds when fuel efficiency is low, such as when driving the car into a garage, the rear motor is used primarily to allow driving without utilizing the power of the engine.
• During acceleration, the rear motor assists the driving power of the engine to achieve advanced driving performance.
• Further, when accelerating uphill, the front motor, which is normally used as a power generator, assists to drive the front axle for improved performance.
• The implementation of a non-idling function that stops the engine when the car comes to a halt reduces unnecessary fuel consumption.
• The use of a high-performance lithium battery is based on experience and know-how achieved with the Subaru Plug-in Stella electric vehicle, launched this summer. This includes the use of a precise energy management system and regenerative brake controls, for improvements in excellent fuel efficiency.
• During normal driving, the front engine is primarily used. The direct fuel-injection turbo gasoline mated with the Symmetrical AWD offers a whole new, Subaru driving experience.

NEW FORD MUSTANG COBRA JET FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Ford Mustang Cobra Jet was introduced at the NHRA Winternationals in 1968. Since then, it has created a legacy of power, performance and triumph.

The 40th Anniversary 2008 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet retained the legacy. The 2010 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet marks the continued evolution of the CJ as a factory-produced turkey race car.

For decades the Mustang has been the preeminent car in many forms of racing, including drag racing. The 2008 Mustang also retained that legacy with high profile wins at the NHRA Winternationals and the U.S. Nationals, and by setting numerous track records across the country.

The 2010 Cobra Jet, like its predecessor, is a factory-built race car that is intended for NHRA Stock and Super Stock racing. The goal for the 2010 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet was to enhance the race features to further make its own place in NHRA history. The 2010 CJ will come with all of the features of the 2008 car with enhancements that include options for a full race-prepared automatic or manual transmission, drag race-specific shocks and springs, manual steering and brakes, 8.50 certified rollcage, and an Aeromitive return-style fuel system with trunk-mounted fuel cell.

Additionally Ford Racing engineers have developed for the 2010 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet a factory-first launch control/rev limiter that will allow drivers to preset the rpm after they stage the car. When they are ready to leave, all they do is put the throttle pedal to the floor; they don't have the engine speed to free rev. Previously, the launch control/rev limiter was only available as an aftermarket option.

Much like Ford Racing's previous Mustang FR500S race car, the Cobra Jet Mustang will get its start at the Auto Alliance International (AAI) assembly plant in Flat Rock, Mich. The entire 50-car run of 2010 Cobra Jets will be built on the same production line that produces the 2010 Ford Mustang production car. Production of Cobra Jets will commence in January, with delivery of all vehicles expected in the first quarter of 2010.

All of the additional parts and pieces for the CJ can be found in the Ford Performance Parts catalog. And since the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet is produced from a base V-6 Ford Mustang, any consumer can turn his Mustang into a Cobra Jet by purchasing the parts from the Ford Performance Parts catalog.

The 2010 CJ car features a choice for customers between two supercharged engines or three normally aspirated engines (pending NHRA approval). These options will allow the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to be eligible for more classes in the NHRA, as well as competition with other sanctioning bodies, including NMRA, NMCA, PSCA and IHRA.

All 50 of the 2010 Cobra Jet Mustangs have already been ordered by Ford dealers for delivery to customers. For those customers who missed out on the limited run of 2010 Cobra Jets, Ford Racing has set a goal to provide future versions of the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet.
