Veja como é fabricado um Bugatti Veyron.

Bugatti Veyron - 1.001 Cavalos.

Já coloquei aqui vários posts sobre o Bugatti Veyron.

O post do dia 07 de julho exibe o vídeo oficial do Bugatti e do dia 24 de outubro você pode conferir um test drive executado pela Revista inglesa AutoCar.

Mas o vídeo mais completo sobre o bólido é o documentário exibido pelo Canal National Geographic.

A reportagem mostra de forma completa como iniciou o projeto para conceber o Bugatti Veyron, sua montagem de forma artesanal, como é fabricado cada compartimento do carro e finalmente os testes em campo de provas.

O documentário revela outras coisas interessantes.
Como é fabricado o motor em uma pequena unidade da Volkswagem na Alemanha.
O jogo de pneus Michelin dura 9.600 km e custa 16 mil Dólares.
Para que o motor não superaqueça é preciso a utilização de mais de 10 radiadores.
Se o Bugatti for exigido em sua performance máxima em velocidade constante, 16 minutos são suficientes para esvaziar o tanque de combustível de 104 litros.

O documentário do National Geographic chama-se Supermáquinas.
A reportagem sobre o Bugatti foi exibida ontem (14/11), mas terá reprises nos seguintes horários:
Sexta-Feira 26 de Novembro às 22:00 h
Sábado 27 de Novembro às 06:00 h
Quinta-Feira 2 de Dezembro às 23:00 h

electric cars

Electric cars may seem like something from a sci-fi movie, but not for John and Nancy Brecher. The Brecher’s have been driving electric cars for the past seven years!

“These two cars have saved considerable money over operating a gas car but the important thing is we don't use any gas to operate them,” the John says.

The Brechers have two electric cars: a fully electric Corbin Sparrow and a converted Pontiac Fiero which now runs full electric.

fieroThe Fiero has a range of about 60 to 70 miles on a charge and will run at interstate speeds. John says it has been driven about 30 miles per day for years. Operating costs are very low, about 1 to 2 cents per mile for the electricity to run it. Maintenance is adding water about once a week or less.

Nancy has been driving a fully electric Corbin Sparrow for the past year. It was built as an electric car rather than a conversion of a gas car. Nancy drives it on her daily commute of 6 miles round trip. The Sparrow runs about 30 miles on a charge and will also go interstate speeds. It also operates on about 1 to 2 cents of electricity per mile.

When they need to go farther than their electric autos will go, the Brecher’s still go green by driving a Honda Insight Hybrid which gets 65 MPG in town and 70 MPG highway.

“Living green” has truly become a way of life for this local couple.

“We recycle everything and have for 15 years. My wife dries our clothes on the line rather than the dryer. Air conditioning is held to a minimum with ceiling fans. We have used the new light bulbs since seeing them five years ago at renewable energy shows,” says John. “We were "green" before it was the "in" thing by more than 10 years!”electric car

Electric cars manufacturing is very important in now a days as fuel resources availability is decreasing day by day. keeping that in mind there is very much need of these types of vehicles.
If you live in the UK and love electric cars, then you will be a very happy person as the UK Government has announced today that they will offer grants for electric cars. The Government is looking to dramatically reduce CO2-emissions, and they will offer between £2,000 to £5,000 ($3,000 and $7,500) in incentives if you buy an electric or hybrid car.

The UK Government says that they are willing to invest £250 million in eco-friendly cars in order to cut-down carbon dioxide emissions, and to help the British motor industry. A spokesperson for the U.K.’s Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform announced that the grants will be available as of 2011 when new electric and hybrid cars are expected to enter on the market. Also, he said that they are working on a plan with car manufacturers in order to determine the best way to concede the incentives.

“The scale of incentives we’re announcing today will mean that an electric car is a real option for motorists as well as helping to make the U.K. a world leader in low carbon transport,” said Geoff Hoon, UK’s Transport Secretary.

According to Peter Mandelson, Government’s Business Secretary, the UK is looking to become the world leading green cars manufacturer and exporter, but he also said that the UK will build several wind farms across the country. This will be possible thanks to a £20 million budget for an eco-friendly infrastructure in the UK.

“Low carbon vehicles will play a key role in cutting emissions. We want the British motor industry to be a leader in the low carbon future, and government must direct and support this, through what I call new industrial activism,” said Mandelson.

A couple of weeks ago Gordon Brown, UK’s Prime Minister, stated that he will release a “green recovery” plan on April 22nd, and these electric car incentives seem to be a really smart move. Meantime we have to congratulate the UK Government for encouraging environmentally-friendly technologies, and we are waiting to see what they have prepared for the British people.

On the road with the Honda Accord / Honda Accord 2010

New Accord Honda. From Torrance, California, Honda Motor Co.. Past produce the latest generation Accord Coupe and Sedan and has been marketed in the USA, which began last September. The new accord honda 2009 has the design bigger, more forceful, more efficient and increase safety. New V6 engine produces power most in the history Accord.

Greater dimension be measured, namely: the length of 194.1 inch length of more than 3.0 inch, 72.7 inch width of 1.1 inch or more in width and height 58.1 inch or 0.9 inch higher.
Although the new Accord Honda 2009 dimension is greater, the torsional rigidity (related to ginger and handling vehicle) had increased 20%. This is another benefit from the application of advanced body construction, where 48% of them are high-tensile steel – the most ever used the mass production of Accord. Other benefits, vehicle weight is up only 5%, although the size of larger, more rigid and features increase.
New Accord Honda 2009 has the interior build quality premium with the design simple, modern and roomy. Accord Sedan has a volume of 120 CUBIC feet of interior or 3.3 CUBIC feet higher than the previous generation Accord and the cause shift from class mid-size sedan to a large sedan based on the classification of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), USA. Is to provide an additional convenient equivalent between the passenger seats front and rear. More interior width allows more wide center console, which often are associated with luxury cars.

The interior theme of new Accord Honda 2009 appear dynamic, high intuitiuf and connoisseurs. Start from the display of information that is easy to read, the share instrument associated with the vehicle operational information at the top and the bottom. In the day, the controls are more clearly separated by color to distinguish between Climate control (Aqua Green) and audio controls (white). Speedomenter and classic style tachometer round. Audio controls on the steering wheel so the standard. Redisain front seats to make it bigger and equipped with lateral support. Rear seats can be folded to increase cargo space.
On new Accord Honda 2009, there are three options can be selected audio system consumers, all with MP3 / Windows Media ® Audio (WMA) and auxiliary input jack. The system is equipped with six standard spekaer 160 watts, and the CD-player single-chip, plus Radio Data System. The other option, the same specifications as above with additional 6-disc in-dash charger. The top is 6-disc CD charger, 270 watts and 7 speakers including SUBWOOFER 8 inch.
New Accord Honda 2009 uses a double-wishbone suspension for front and multi-link suspension for rear. Suspension architecture is designed to provide the best handling. Wheelbase Accord Sedan is 110.2 inch up 2.3 inch compared to the previous version. Accord also has a wider wheels, ABS and Vehicle Stability Assist.
Honda claim to offer a higher level of protection for passengers on the pedestrian. Body structure Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) that make them more resistant frontal collision of vehicles in different sizes and bumper height. This is the answer to the concerns so many people choose sedan, which is considered to be the victim when the country with most SUVs. Another safety feature is the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), which makes the car more stable and controlled, side-curtain airbags, dual-chamber front side airbags for the position where the passengers equipped Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to deactivated if necessary airbags, active front seat head fine, and other ABS.

In the USA, new Accord Honda 2009 is offered with three engine options, namely the two types of engines 2.4 liter four-cylinder i-VTEC engine and 3.5 liter V6. The 2.4 liter engine can produce power 177hp/6500rpm and 218Nm/4300rpm or 7hp greater than the predecessor. The second option is 2.4 liters produce power 190hp/7000rpm and 220Nm/4400rpm. This difference owing to different ECU program username and high-flow muffler with Variable Valve silencer.
Meanwhile, V6 engine up from 3.0 liters in the previous version of a 3.5 liter that produces 268 liter/6200rpm and 336Nm/5000rpm of torque. SOHC V6 engine is equipped with variable cylinder management, which allows the engine to operate with only three, four-cylinder only for fuel efficiency. If you need perform, all cylinders working. The result Accord get EPA rating 19/29 mpg. In addition new Accord Honda 2009 already emits recognition Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV). There are three transmission options 5MT, 5AT and 6MT.

Honda Phils lent me one of their Honda Accord to test out and told me I can take it out of town, we headed out to see how fast it can go on the highway and quickly drove it up north.
They also told me I can go and stay at the Holiday Inn at Clark so we headed there as soon as we can. Nothing beats the clean even roads of NLEX for a test drive.
The Honda Accord is the car company’s top of the line executive sedan and top Class Driving.

The Accord’s 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine is available in 177- and 190-hp versions, with a strange distinction of 13 hp. The engines have the option of a five-speed manual or automatic transmission, which makes a large difference on the road. 177-hp versions with the automatic are quite anemic, wanting for power in all situations other than takeoff. The manual transmission is a big help, and its smooth and precise operation make for a more enjoyable experience besides. Adding that 13 hp is definitely noticeable, although you’ll still be waiting around for the powerband to deliver in passing and climbing situations, even with the manual transmission.
Complaints have been heard about the four-cylinder engines offering coarse idle and annoyingly resonant vibrations that can be felt throughout the car, although the 190-hp version suffers less from this malady. With the recommended regular-grade gasoline, automatic-equipped four-cylinder Accords return 21/31 mpg, while manual versions improve around town for 22/31.
The 271-hp V6 is decidedly stronger and utilizes Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation, which would account for its fuel efficiency of 17/25 on regular-grade gasoline. Unlike its brethren, the V6 is refined and composed, offering none of the loud harshness of the four-cylinder engines.
