Hummer 3 Alpha General Motors


POWERTRAINS
The H3 was launched with a 3.5 liter straight-5 cylinder L52 engine that produced 220 hp (160 kW) and 225 ft·lbf (305 N·m) of torque and was mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission. In 2007 this engine was replaced by 3.7 liter LLR that produced 242 hp (180 kW) and 242 ft·lbf (328 N·m) of torque, figures that were revised in 2009 to 239 hp (178 kW) and 241 ft·lbf (327 N·m). Under revised EPA testing standards when equipped with either transmission this straight-5 engine achieves 14 mpg-US (17 l/100 km) in the city and 18 mpg-US (13 l/100 km) on the highway with a combined average of 15 mpg-US (16 l/100 km). Available solely with the automatic transmission, a 5.3 liter LH8 V8 producing 300 hp (220 kW) and 320 ft·lbf (430 N·m) of torque was added in 2008 for the Alpha model of the H3 and returns slightly lower fuel economy estimated at 13 mpg-US (18 l/100 km) in the city, 16 mpg-US (15 l/100 km) on the highway, with a combined average of 14 mpg-US (17 l/100 km).

CAPABILITIES
The H3 features a two-speed, electronically controlled full-time four-wheel drive system that is suitable for both on-road and off-road driving in all conditions, with electronic locking front and rear differentials optionally available. Like its larger sibling the Hummer H2, the H3 can ford 24 inches (610 mm) of water (tested in depths up to 31 in/790 mm) at a speed of 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h) and 16 inches (410 mm) of water at a speed of 20 miles per hour (32 km/h). Standard ground clearance is measured at 9.7 inches (250 mm) while the approach, departure, and breakover angles are measured at 37.4°, 34.7°, and 22.1° respectively, allowing the H3 to scale a 16-inch (410 mm) vertical wall and negotiate grades of 60% and side slopes of 40%. Though fore and aft recovery hooks are standard, a trailer hitch and wiring harness are optional.

Maximum towing capacities are 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) for the straight-5 with manual transmission, 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg) for the straight-5 with automatic transmission, and 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg) for the V8 with automatic transmission. Cargo volume with the second-row seats in the upright position is 25.0 cubic feet (0.71 m3), which expands to a maximum of 62.8 cubic feet (1.78 m3) when the seats are folded down. V8 models feature the lightest maximum payload capacity of just over 1,100 pounds (500 kg) while straight-5, manual transmission models allow the greatest payload at 1,300 pounds (590 kg).

PORCHE RS SPYDER


The RS Spyder has been developed exclusively in-house at Porsche - this being the only way of ensuring that engine, transmission, chassis and aerodynamics combine to create a harmonious overall package. The technology in the RS Spyder has been consistently adapted to the conditions required under the LMP2 rules (Le Mans Prototype 2).

The RS Spyder has been adapted to comply with the changed rules for the 2009 season. This affects both the aerodynamics due to the 160-cm wide rear wing and the 3.4-litre V8 engine which now generates 478 bhp instead of 440 bhp following the significant reduction required in the size of the air-restrictor.

PEUGEOT 3008

Peugeot’s all-new 3008 offers low CO2 emissions, great fuel economy and all-round performance. Due for launch at the end of 2009, the compact yet spacious 3008 offers a new choice in the UK car market. It is designed to suit any lifestyle: from sporty couples and modern families to people with a more relaxed take on life. And in a new development for Peugeot, a hybrid version will be launched in 2011.
Here’s a closer look at the 3008’s key features…

Design
The 3008 is a ‘crossover’ vehicle which means it doesn’t fall into just one category like hatchback or MPV – instead, it benefits from being a bit of both! It is based on Peugeot’s short wheelbase platform 2, giving it exceptional rigidity and excellent acoustic and vibration properties. And to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and running costs the weight of the vehicle has been kept to a minimum. For example, the thickness of the panoramic glass roof is reduced to 5mm. Yet despite this, there are no concessions on safety.

Exterior
With a new evolution in driving comes a new, modern appearance. The 3008 retains Peugeot’s design genes, yet a single front grille helps create the effect of a luxury off-roader, along with the use of a split rear tailgate as featured on the 4007. The 3008 will be available with a choice of wheel designs with 16”, 17” and 18” wheels.

Interior
The 3008 offers nearly 50-ltrs of storage space, three 12v power connections and optional sun-blinds and/or dark tinted windows for rear occupants. The passengers, like the driver, benefit from a raised seating position and ample leg room. And a panoramic glass roof means unparalleled levels of light coming into the car.

Technology
Two new systems feature in certain models of the 3008: Head Up Display and Distance Alert. The Head Up Display conveys essential information such as vehicle speed, cruise control/speed limiter. Meanwhile, the Distance Alert uses a special radar to help the driver maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. Another new feature is the Air Quality Sensor (AQS). This automatically adjusts if a high level of outside pollution is detected. Peugeot’s in-car entertainment and telematics systems will also be available on the 3008 range.

Engine options
Six engine options will be available between launch and the autumn of 2009.

Safety
Using the latest technology, the 3008 is designed to achieve a five star rating under the new 2009 EuroNCAP standards. Features include six airbags, a three-point inertia reel seatbelts and an audible fasten seat belt warning system. The two outer rear seats are also fitted with Isofix child seat mountings.

HYbrid 4 Technology
Peugeot’s HYbrid 4 technology is still under development. The first vehicle to be equipped with the technology will be the 3008. This hybrid crossover is due for launch in 2011.

BMW 3 Series Touring



The exterior of the BMW 3 Series Touring.
The curved front section with wide wind intake vents and the elegant shape of the headlights deflects wind in all directions as it passes the flexed arch of the bonnet with its poignant character lines that taper towards the emblem. Accelerating as it moves over the long curving lines of its gently sloping rear with BMW-familiar L-shape taillights, it then disappears as quickly as it arrived - the BMW 3 Series Touring continues on unperturbed leaving wind resistance far behind.

The interior of the BMW 3 Series Touring.
One glance inside the cockpit and across the distinctive dashboard and you immediately know that within the BMW 3 Series Touring hides a realm of discoveries: interior trims in fine wood, titanium or aluminium compliment the perfectly combined colours, materials and high-quality chrome trim that underscore the generous spaciousness inside the vehicle. However, you would be forgiven for overlooking the intelligently positioned instrument dials - they are simply placed where you expect to find them.

Spaciousness in the BMW 3 Series Touring.
Compact on the outside, generously spacious on the inside, the BMW 3 Series Touring provides all of its passengers with plenty of leg- and headroom. When the rear seat is in an upright position, the boot possesses 460 litres of stowage space. However, the rear seats can be split to fold down in a 60:40 ratio, increasing the total boot capacity of the vehicle to an impressive 1,385 litres. An additional stowage compartment is located underneath the boot floor that is available with luggage fasteners or a reversible liner and integrated protective cover.

MOTO GUZZI BREVA 750


This particular ‘baby’ of the Moto Guzzi range takes its name from the wind that blows over Lario to disperse the clouds and announce the arrival of fair weather. Contemporary and eye-catching from the first glimpse, the Breva 750 is also unmistakably a Moto Guzzi, combining a sleek, anatomical tank, with classy three spoke wheels and a mean looking belly pan. Easy and intuitive to ride, the Breva 750 inspires you with instant confidence. Compact dimensions, a comfortable sitting position and great manoeuvrability make this baby Breva agile in city traffic and great fun on country roads, solo or with a passenger. Merit for this amazing agility is shared between the short wheelbase for easy leaning and rapid direction changes, and the rigid, double cradle frame in high strength steel tube for precision control and instant yet fluid response to the power provided by the fuel injected engine. Its easy ride and contagious good looks make the Breva 750 tremendously appealing to lady riders too. There is even an optional lower seat in the generous range of accessories dedicated to the Breva 750. The colour schemes also reflect the dual soul of the Breva 750, with traditional Guzzi Black and Corsa Red available alongside a trendy black and silver two-tone colour scheme, new for 2007.

SUZUKI GSX-R1000


New Engine
Reshaped combustion chamber and new cam profiles increases the compression ratio to 12.8:1

To help maintain intake efficiency and power output at high rpm the downdraft intake manifolds are now 10mm shorter

All-New 999cc GSX-R1000 is a clean sheet design built to maximize combustion efficiency with more torque and power across the rpm range and enhanced throttle response and reduced exhaust emissions.

The new engine is shorter front to rear allowing engineers to use a shorter wheelbase AND a longer swingarm for improved racetrack performance

New more oversquare bore and stroke of 74.5mm x 57.3mm (from 73.4mm x 59.0mm) gives the engine better overall tuning potential, specifically increased performance at high rpm

Suzuki engineers were also able to increase low-range and mid-range performance and broaden the torque curve by reshaping the combustion chamber, increasing the compression ratio to 12.8:1 (from 12.5:1) and developing new cam profiles.

To help maintain intake efficiency and power output at high rpm the downdraft intake manifolds are now 10mm shorter (138mm from 148mm).

SRAD airbox is also new and lighter.

The revised combustion chamber shape also accommodates new larger intake and exhaust valves. Intake valve size is increase from 30mm to 31mm and exhaust valve size is increased from 24mm to 25mm.

The steel alloy used to produce the single valve spring for each valve has been revised along with camshaft profiles.

The new intake camshaft is shorter and lighter and the cam angle sensor has been relocated from the left end of the intake cam to the center of the exhaust cam, allowing the cylinder head to be reshaped for reduced weight

The close ratio six speed transmission?s input and output shafts are now triangulated with the crankshaft. The crankshaft is positioned more forward in the cases relative to the cylinder centerline, the transmission input shaft has been moved upwards and the transmission output shaft has been moved forward

As a result the distance between the crankshaft and the transmission output shaft has been reduced by 59.6mm making the engine shorter front to rear.

Repositioning the transmission shafts also allowed the crankcase assembly to be simplified , now using two bolted-together (upper and lower) sections instead of three, eliminating 16 screws and helping to further reduce weight by about 670 grams.

The single counter balancer shaft is now smaller measuring 20mm in bearing diameter instead of 23mm for reduced mechanical losses

The back torque limiting clutch incorporates the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) for light clutch pull and optimum clutch performance.

The clutch is now directly operated by a cable instead of a hydraulic system, improving feel and feedback to the rider as well as reducing weight

A new integrated clutch and starter motor cover is about 200 grams lighter than the two individual covers previously used.

A new more efficient oil cooler also has a trapezoidal shape instead of the more conventional rectangular shape, allowing the lower fairing to be narrower for improved aerodynamics.

The radiator and new oil cooler also allow for the use of narrower bodywork for reduced drag.

A powerful microprocessor in the ECM runs the advanced engine management system, starting with the latest versions of the latest versions of the SDTV downdraft double-barrel fuel injection system first introduced on the GSX-R1000.

The SDTV system uses two butterfly valves in each throttle body barrel, the primary valve controlled by the rider via the twist grip and the secondary valve controlled by the ECM.

Each throttle body feeds two cylinders and each throttle body barrel carries two ultra-fine-atomization, 12 hole injectors. Each cylinders primary injector is aimed at a steep 30 degree angle down the intake port to improve fuel atomization and operates under all conditions.

The engine managements Idle Speed Control (ISC) improves cold starting, reduces cold start emissions and stabilizes engine idle under various conditions by automatically regulating the volume of fresh air fed into the throttle body circuits, based on coolant temperature.

Spark plugs with finer, Iridium-alloy electrodes produce a stronger spark for better combustion

The latest version of the Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System (SAES) incorporates staggered length titanium head pipes, a collector, a short mid pipe and a stainless steel under engine chamber that leads to two Moto GP inspired titanium mufflers.

A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) servo controlled butterfly valve built into the mid pipe helps maximize torque throughout the RPM range.

The under engine chamber carries a catalyzer to help reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

The computer controlled Suzuki PAIR system injects fresh air from the airbox into the exhaust ports further reducing emissions by igniting unburned hydrocarbons.

Ventilation holes positioned underneath the bottom of the piston stroke in each cylinder bore allow air trapped underneath each descending piston to quickly escape to adjacent cylinders.

Unique Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) system allow the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps, adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference.

Using a button now located on the left handlebar control module, the rider can instantaneously switch between the three available maps, which are designated A, B and C as displayed on the instrument panel.

New Chassis
All new more compact twin spar frame welded together using five cast aluminum alloy sections including a steering head section, two main-spar/swingarm pivot plate sections and cross braces above and below the swingarm.

The new aluminum alloy swingarm is constructed using just three castings and is arched to make room for the dual titanium mufflers to be tucked in tightly on each side.

The new more compact 09 GSX-R1000 engine allowed the design team to shorten up the mainframe reducing the distance between the steering head and the swingarm pivot while also reshaping the main spars to precisely fit the contours of the new engine.

New dimensions allow the use of a swingarm that is now 33mm longer, measuring 577mm from the center of the pivot shaft to the center of the rear axle in the standard position while still reducing the wheelbase by 10mm to 1405mm.

A new one piece die cast aluminum alloy rear subframe and tailsection support is now lighter and seat height is unchanged at 810mm

New Showa BPF (Big Piston Front) 43mm fork design eliminates the internal cartridge assembly inserted into each fork leg and instead uses a single 39.6mm upper piston riding against the inside wall of the inner fork tube.

The larger piston and shims used in the BPF forks produce more effective valving, with more controlled compression delivering better feedback to the rider.

The BPF design relocates the fork springs to the bottom of each fork leg, where they are completely submerged in oil, reducing fork oil foaming and contributing to more stable damping.

The rebound and compression valving adjustment screws are indented into the fork caps. Spring preload is adjusted at the bottom of the fork leg assembly.

Each BPF fork leg is also 720 grams lighter than the conventional fork tube it replaces.

The Showa rear shock works through an aluminum alloy linkage mounted on the swingarm, with an extruded aluminum alloy link rods connected to the frame. The rear shock absorber is adjustable for rebound, high and low speed compression and spring preload.

Electronically controlled steering damper uses the ECM to monitor motorcycle speed and adjust damping force as needed.

The new GSX-R1000 front brake system matches fully floating 310mm drilled discs with radial mount race proven mono-block forged aluminum alloy front brake calipers

New front brake calipers are more rigid despite each being 205 grams lighter than conventional bolt together calipers, reducing flex and improving feedback.

The radial pump front brake master cylinder now measures 17mm (from19mm) for improved rider feedback and feel.

Newly designed cast aluminum alloy wheels feature a more aggressive design and are also lighter.

The rear disc brake works with a single piston caliper mounted above the swingarm.

The new wind tunnel tested upper fairing is wider, providing better wind protection while also reducing turbulence and drag.

Re-designed SRAD intakes are larger and positioned closer to the centerline of the fairing nose, where air pressure is the highest.

The multi-reflector headlight incorporates a new look with vertically stacked high and low beam halogen bulbs centered between position lights on each side.

The sharply creased fairing sides feature a layered look that improves the flow of cooling air through the radiator and away from the rider.

The rear turn signals feature clear lenses over amber bulbs and the lenses are integrated into and wrap around the outside edges of the seat cowl.

The LED combination taillight and brake light is built into the rear of the tailsection, featuring a red, mirror lens, covering LED?s.

Footpegs remain three way adjustable in 14mm in a horizontal and vertical range.

The new sculpted fuel tank is lighter while retaining 17.5 liters of capacity.

The all new instrument cluster is centered around an analog tachometer framed by an elegant silver ring with an adjacent digital LCD speedometer.

A new programmable engine RPM indicator system incorporates four LED?s.

A new speedometer display mode switch is now mounted on the right handlebar control module and can be used to trigger the lap time counter
