Arrival Indonesia Lotus Evora 2 +2

After a vacuum since 2008, is now a British car, the Lotus, re-explore the national car market. Lotus comeback marked by the launch of their newest product, Evora 2 +2, which took place at Lotus Showroom in TB Simatupang, South Jakarta, Monday (8/2/2010).

Evora Launch in Indonesia marked the rebirth of the Holder Sole Agent Brand (ATPM) Lotus held PT Artha Auto, which is also concurrently the Lamborghini producers in the country. Previously, Lotus marketing conducted by PT Proton circulation Indonesia.

Evora units or fully imported completely built-up (CBU) from England. Each dibanderol sport sedan is priced U.S. $ 208,000 or approximately USD 1.97 billion per unit.

Lotus Evora equip the engine capacity of 3.5 liter V6 that produces a force on lap 276 dk 6400 rpm. Two-door sports sedan that can carry 4 people, when digeber 0-100 km, just 5.1 seconds. The car is consuming 1 liter of gasoline for the 11.4 mile distance.

"Initially, we only have one black Evora units in our showroom. Booking can be done now," said Jimmy Rianto as Brand Manager of PT Artha Auto in the launch of Evora 2 +2. He added, Lotus brand is less known to consumers in Indonesia. For that, the return of Lotus products this year to make the principal did not set sales targets this year, but more to increase brand awareness. In sprort sedan segment, the Lotus Evora will compete with other products, such as the Porsche Caymen and Carrera, who was better known brand in the consumer's ear Indonesia.

"To be honest, Lotus marketing challenge in Indonesia is heavier than more expensive Lamborghini though. If Lambo everyone knows the product, if Lotus special only lovers who enjoy racing and racing. Hopefully, this year's entry into the Lotus F1 race event can be also have an impact on sales, "please Jimmy.

BMW 335is to the United

NEW JERSEY, NAGA MOTOR - "Breaking News". The word is plastered on the edge of the photo red BMW coupe featured site Inside Line, Friday (22/1/2010) ago. Mentioned that BMW has released pictures and information about the BMW 335is which will enliven the American market.

Reported, a German automobile manufacturer that has been showing photos of the BMW 335is in two models, the coupe and convertible. Would be exhibited in the New York Auto Show, March, and can be seen on the showroom floor (showroom) in the spring.

Both BMW Newer (coupe and convertible) was the result of the development of the Series 3. Are both carrying the 3.0 L engine inline-6 twin-turbocharged 320 that has power with a torque dk 332 pound-feet. The kitchen is the same race as the series against the Z4 sDrive 35is, only 335 dk strength.

In the interview asked, why with the same spec, but a different strength? BMW claims the manufacturer can not reveal all, but there are two main considerations. First, manual transmission with 6 levels of acceleration on 335is can not handle big torque. Second, market considerations.

However, try to straighten the BMW America, mentioned about the different energy because the country is tightening matter intake. Then, there is little wrong in the interpretation of communication that American consumers want.

Regarding the price, for the coupe set USD 485 million, while the konvortibel USD 567 million.

Standardisasi Konektor Charger Mobil Listrik

NAGA MOTOR – Dengan makin gencarnya mobil listrik dan hibrida plug-in, Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) telah menyetujui konektor atau kontak standar yang akan digunakan secara umum. Konektor tersebut terdiri lima pin dan digunakan untuk mengalirkan listrik dengan tegangan 120 atau 240 volt.

Ini pertama kalinya standar disepakati berdasarkan konsensus industri yang dibuat SAE dan merupakan pembaruan J1772 yang dibuat pada 1996. Standar baru mengakomodasi penggunaannya pada mobil listrik gnerasi terbaru yang memerlukan pengisian cepat baterai energi tinggi.

Indikator
Produsen yang memproduksi konektor tersebut sesuai dengan standar “SAEJ1772” harus mencantumkan kode pada permukaan produknya . Sama dengan indikator pada kaleng oli yang menggunakan standar SAE. Dengan demikian, pembeli atau pengguna memperoleh kepastian dapat menggunakannya di rumah, di kantor atau ditempat pengisian listrik umum.

“Konsumen atau pengguna mobil listrik (tipe plug–in lain) akan memperoleh keuntungan dari standar ini. Mereka tidak perlu khawatir, alat yang dibelinya bisa digunakan di mana saja, di rumah dan tempat umum lainya,” kata Steve Matsin, Executive Director, Vehicle System, General Motor (telah mengundurkan diri), juga Ketua SAE Motor Vehicle Council dari 2007 sampai 2009.

Pengisian Cepat
Cara menggunakan alat pengisian ulang listrik standar ini sama mudahnya dengan mengisi bensin sekarang ini di SPBU. Pilihan pengisian, listrik AC satu fasa, 120 V dengan arus sampai 16 Ampere atau AC Level 2, satu fase, 240 Volt dengan arus sampai 80 Ampere.
Standard konektor ini merupakan hasil kerja sama para pakar otomotif dari Amerika Serikat, Eropa dan Jepang. SAE juga mengadopsi agar alat ini bisa digunakan di negara yang menggunakan listrik dengan tegangan 220 volt.
Langkah SAE menentukan standar konektor mobil listrik berkaitan dengan elektrifikasi mobil akan mencapai skala global dalam beberapa tahun ke depan.

Car 2010

Car 2010

So how will cars look in 2010 well here we have some photos. Lets just call them future cars of 2010 but to be honest i dont like their design.

Suzuki Concept Car

 Suzuki Concept Car

 

NAGA MOTOR - Suzuki's Kizashi "concept" is a teaser of what Suzuki has in store for their upcoming line-up. The Kizashi 1 was a rather funky looking station wagon. The Kizashi 2 was a SUV. Finally, the Kizashi 3 is what you see above, a sport sedan.

Suzuki Concept Kizashi 3 is the third iteration of the Kizashi concept which was revealed at the New York International Auto Show. Kizashi features an AWD system with 300 HP 3.6 Litre V6 engine. Kizashi is an impressive looking concept from Suzuki to-date. However, it yet remains to be seen if Suzuki would be able to compete with Camry and Accord when it hits the US market in 2010.

Kizashi 3 Suzuki Concept Car

The Concept Kizashi 3, which suggests both Suzuki's future design direction and stated intent to offer a larger, more upscale sport sedan, will be joined in New York by the North American debuts of the Concept Kizashi and Concept Kizashi 2.

The Kizashi concept series was developed by Suzuki's Advanced Design Group to reflect a dynamic athlete in motion, taking its design cues from a strong, honed physique while displaying the performance, strength and style befitting a flagship vehicle.

Kizashi 3 Suzuki Concept Car

The Concept Kizashi 3 will represent the completion of the Kizashi concept series as well as providing a closer-to-production vision of a future Suzuki sport sedan offering.

The Suzuki Kizashi 3 has a five seat configuration with a front engine, four-wheel drive with Advanced i-AWD system.

The closest-to-production variation of the Concept Kizashi series, Concept Kizashi 3 embodies Suzuki's interpretation of the sport sedan segment in the North American market. The Kizashi's "super sport" identity, a core component of the Suzuki brand DNA, is tempered by the vehicle's overall mission to provide strong, refined urban performance.

Kizashi 3 Suzuki Concept Car

As with Concept Kizashi and Concept Kizashi 2, the front end of the Concept Kizashi 3 expresses strength and style, with sharply fashioned headlights that emphasize the sensation of forward motion. The vehicle's exquisitely engineered body reflects Suzuki's distinctive combination of capability and refinement, with power flowing from a 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine 24-valve engine developing 300 hp that is coupled with a six-speed automatic (with paddle shifters) gearbox and with plated cylinders — a weight-and space-saving technology that evolved from the lessons learned by Suzuki's motorcycle and WRC development teams. The body's monochrome finish, Kizashi Silver, gives the vehicle a sense of composure and depth of character, with metallic paint sparkling to emphasize the dynamism of the body's cross-section.

Pentingnya Sistem Pendingin dan Cairan Pendingin Mesin

Pentingnya Sistem Pendingin dan Cairan Pendingin Mesin

NAGA MOTOR – Sistem pendingin dan media pendinginnya, adalah bagian penting dari sebuah mesin. Jika sistem pendingin tidak bekerja dengan baik, mesin tinggal menunggu waktu masuk “kamar operasi” dan turun mesin. Pasalnya, suhu mesin yang terlalu tinggi menyebabkan komponen cepat aus. Bahkan kepala silinder bengkok atau awam menyebutnya melenting.
Suhu mesin yang tinggi, juga menyebabkan umur pakai oli menjadi lebih pendek. Penyebabnya oksidasi. Senyawa kimia oli tercerah-berai dan tidak bisa lagi bekerja dengan baik.
Karena itulah, agar umur pakai oli lebih lama dan bisa tetap awet, sistem pendingin harus dijaga bisa bekerja dengan baik atau normal.
Pola Lama
Tampaknya masih ada sebagian dari pemilik mobil yang rajin memeriksa cairan pendingin setiap pagi melalui tutup radiator. Malah menambahkan air melalui tutup tersebut.
Padahal, pada mesin-mesin modern, cara tersebut tidak diperlukan lagi. Memeriksa cairan radiator dengan membuka tutupnya bisa saja mengakibatkan hal yang tidak diinginkan. Misalnya, lupa memasang tutup radiator kembali atau pemasangannya kurang kencang. Kalau sudah begini, sistem pendingin tidak bisa bekerja dengan baik. Akibatnya, mesin overheating.
Juga perlu diketahui, posisi tutup radiator pada mesin tertentu saja bisa saja lebih rendah dari kepala silinder mesin. Kalau tutup radiatornya dibuka, menyebabkan cairan tumpah dan masuk angin palsu ke sistem pendingin.
Untuk itu, pada mesin-mesin sekarang, pemeriksa ancairan pendingin cukup melalui reservoir. Misalnya, air dalam tangki plastik tersebut berada antara batas “max” dan “min”. Tidak boleh lebih dan juga kurang.

Selama coolant ada di dalamnya sesuai dengan batas yang telah ditentukan dan tidak berubah warnanya (warna asli coolant), dipastikan sistem pendingin bekerja dengan normal. Kalau berada di bawah garis “min”, bisa ditambahkan.
Bila penambahan dalam jumlah banyak dan harus dilakukan setiap hari, berarti ada yang tidak beres pada sistem pendingin. Segera lakukan pemeriksaan.
Coolant Bukan Air
Dalam perjalanan perkembangan teknologi mesin, terjadi perubahaan penggunaan media pendingin. Pada awalnya hanya digunakan air sebagai pendingin. Lantas air dicampur dengan coolant. Waktu itu, pada daerah beriklim dingin, coolant untuk mencegah air membeku.
Kini, pada umumnya, yang digunakan adalah coolant yang sudah dicampur dengan air dari pabrik. Tinggal dimasukkan ke dalam radiator. Terjadinya perubahan media pendingin karena bahan dasar radiator juga berubah. Dulu radiator dibuat dari tembaga, kini aluminium.
Coolant, bukan sekadar mencegah pendingin membeku di daerah bersuhu dingin. Bahan coolant, dicampurkan ke dalam air untuk menaikkan titik didih pendingin. Tugas lain unsur kimia lain coolant, melindungi radiator dari korosi dampak lainnya. Maklum, panas atau suhu tinggi akan mempengaruhi sifat kimia air.
Awas, Air Murni!
Air sebenarnya punya kemampuan melepas panas lebih baik dari coolant. Namun karena kandungan kimianya berbeda-beda, tentu saja kemampuan kerjanya tidak sama.
Air di daerah pegunungan kadar kapurnya lebih tinggi dibandingkan dataran rendah. Sementara daratan rendah, kadar lumutnya lebih tinggi. Begitu juga dengan air tadah hujan. Di lain, bila dekat dengan laut, kadar garamnya juga tinggi. Semua itu bisa meninggalkan endapan yang menyebabkan sistem pendingin tidak bekerja maksimal.
Di samping itu, air murni, menyebabkan logam korosi. Apalagi setelah suhu air mencapai titik didih. Terjadi kavitasi atau kehampaan sehingga sistem pendingin tidak bekerja dengan maksimal. Kondisi tersebutlah yang mengharuskan produsen mobil sistem pendingin menggunakan coolant dan tidak cukup hanya mengandalkan air.
