A little over a year has passed since the announcement and, as envisaged in the plan to revive the brand, Abarth & CSpA has kept its promise to return and update all the activities that made his name in history.
To emphasize the authenticity of the project, the activities of the brand immediately focused on the retrieval and update of all activities in the past by Abarth & C., from the direct participation of Italian and international races, the organization of single-brand trophy and preparing cars for customers - moving across the road cars and conversion kits for accessories and clothes that reflect the style Abarth. A new world was reborn around the Abarth brand, the articulation of fundamental values that have purchased this as good fortune in the past: innovation in the design, use of advanced materials and attention to detail. All based on real passion for driving, let alone humans and engineering heritage.

The Abarth engineers immediately focused on a specific detail that has distinguished itself in a world of Abarth from the beginning: to transfer the experience of motorsport in the world of road vehicles. Abarth has always been synonymous with cars moving, challenges, passion and emotion - and now he is back with the intention to appeal to the dreams of all motor sport fans: in September last year saw the reinterpretation created Abarth Grande Punto and now comes the turn of the new 500 Abarth brand to add a notch to this ambitious project of Fiat Group Automobiles.
This approach is clear and strong, Karl Abarth was the first to create his own re-emerged in the design and production of new models and development of all activities of the brand. Abarth achieved this by using the help of business leaders in the field of motorsport component: Brembo, BMC, Sabelt, FPT-Fiat Powertrain Technologies and Magneti Marelli, among others. Disse important partners for international influence to ensure the highest level of performance and safety through their products exactly in line with the Abarth philosophy.
The new Abarth is primarily a full-fledged business with a diverse organization (led by CEO Luca De Meo), with its headquarters and production facilities in four levels, with a range of products and a dedicated distribution network: flagship store retailers, specialty stores and preparation service shops.
The organization of this trade network encapsulates three key values of the brand of sportiness, authenticity and customer relations. To ensure an authentic shopping experience, the conversion is done with the utmost attention to every detail, in accordance with a unique style, a distillate of references in the real world of Abarth: history, sports cars, tuning, accessories, merchandising and the racing world.
Initial figures indicate that the products are selling as fast as the Abarth: more than 80 dealerships are already operating in Europe, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands and Greece. By the end of the year, the network should be completed as well as Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Poland: this confirms the goal of 100 dealers in Europe, the same number of officers and about 200 preparatory workshops. Expansion is also affected by non-European markets, starting in Japan in early 2009.
Distribution and preparation of the network, which is unique and has certainly contributed to the enormous success of 155 bhp Grande Punto Abarth 1.4 Turbo T-Jet: more than 2000 cars have been sold for at least nine months since they started selling.
Not to mention that in May last year, two tuning kits for the 155 hp Abarth Grande Punto 1.4 Turbo T-Jet is for sale, one entitled 'Assetto' and other 'esseesse "(the latter also includes an engine modification that increases the vehicle's power to 180 hp) more than 500 kits have been sold in just two months.
The age of the customer is another significant factor: more than 60% are under 30 but over 30% of customers buy the Fiat Group Automobiles Abarth product for the first time. These data confirm the validity of the project, and the second to maintain the historical value of Abarth: allows drivers to enter the world of motor sport in complete safety available in the price.
Now comes the turn of the brand new 500 Abarth to continue on this path, since the absolute respect for one unforgettable past and pursue a world of victories, style and symbols Abarth scorpion logo made into a legend that still stir the blood of car lovers.

Since the driving experience: technology, performance and safety.
Presented at the Geneva Motor Show 78th and should be marketed from July 19 in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, France and the Netherlands, the new 500 Abarth has been developed by the Abarth engineers in spirit of the legendary 500 Abarth of the 1960s.
The new car was created to strengthen the position of the sports brand. On the outside, it looks like a pocket fast, compact car, while the interior offers the best currently available in the field of engineering, safety and technology, remains faithful to the word coined for Abarth cars of the decade of 1960 (small but deadly): real scorpion, that is, able to arouse the passion of thousands of drivers with a taste for challenge, speed, and Italian style. The new 500 Abarth is no exception. This is a heady mix of technology, performance and safety is based on the experience and passion to the world of racing.
Sporty and functional style perfect balance between past and future.
The style of the 500 Abarth, created by the Fiat Style Centre Auto Group is fully in the tradition of the scorpion and is a facade, but also contributes significantly to the car's performance. The best example of this approach to style is the attention devoted to the aerodynamics and the role of certain elements.
For example, the back of the 500 Abarth characterized by the presence of a special bumper, aerodynamic hood, dual exhaust terminal and tailgate spoiler, giving it a sporty look but also an excellent aerodynamics. A scorpion logo is printed above the silent, as the historical Abarth exhaust.
The front is a special statement that the Abarth 500 is a GT on-and-out: the tripartite model formed by the entry consists of a central intake that is greater than the base model, and a top slot (above the plate) there are also wider. The two symmetrical "nostrils" on each side of the bumper correspond exactly to the position of two corresponding intercoolers that can be seen through the openings and are there to make sure air is able to flow in and out.
The front end of the frieze was moved forward to create space for the turbocharger. This makes the side profile of the 500 Abarth more pronounced and significant in the Abarth tradition pitch-perfect on the 1000 TC 850 and TC models, no-nonsense external manifolds are recognizable features of the fire. "Fleet" The Abarth logo on a finned surface that serves as an additional air intake. Abarth badges are positioned on the sides, crossed by a lightning strike in three colors, like on the Abarth 595 and 695 Abarth of the 1960s, to symbolize the brand racing vocation.
Wheels, available in 16 and 17 sizes in inches, are available in different styles: from multispoked wheels and rims bordered by holes (refer to themes forged wheel 1970 is clear).
Run for the inner satisfaction of a sporty driving.
One hundred percent of indoor racing in the 500 Abarth instruments specific function and an analogue gauge to measure turbo pressure. The pressure gauge contains a "GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) LED that lights up to prompt the driver to shift gears.
The most important indicator, sport-graphics-lips on offer continues to glare protection, while three-spoke steering wheel includes a contoured grip for your thumbs, and stabilized at the base to ensure volumes of passengers more space and control of space.
Aluminum pedals with rubber is also more clearly reveals the calling of race, as well as the gear knob (leather is cut with a more ergonomic grip for sports), and handbrake lever grip (leather).
Seats with integrated headrests back to reveal a particular design Abarth around the group to keep the body firmly in position even when cornering. They can be cut into the skin, two blacks or reds, or two different specifications for the fabric.

High level of driving safety and satisfaction.
Created to satisfy the most demanding needs, the 500 Abarth is one of the safest cars in its entire segment. Stable, effective braking is ensured as well as a good pick-up 135 hp power unit and treatment always gives the new car expected to sail through the calm in critical situations. The Abarth 500 is standard with seven airbags (two front, two window bags, dual airbags and knee protection in the second): Record the automotive category. The new model is also technically advanced products are an effective tool to manage the driver (active): such as ABS with EBD (electronic brake force distributor), a sophisticated ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) equipment Hill Holder to assist the driver during hill starts and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assistance) to assist in emergency stops.
For the first time in this segment, including the new 500 Abarth has two features that appeal to all standards, "TTC '(Torque Transfer Control) and' GSI '(Gear Shift Indicator) systems. The first device improves the transfer of torque to the wheels, in particular, guarantees excellent cornering thus making the car safer and more entertaining during a sporty drive. The 'GSI' (Gear Shift Indicator) encourages the driver to shift gears by turning on a specific indicator on the control panel (LED flashes five times in a row). In detail, if the normal mode is selected, the system informs the driver that the fuel savings could be achieved by switching to a different speed. If the driver continues in sport mode, gear changes proposal aims to achieve the best possible performance.
The Abarth 500 also offers all the features, dynamics and comfort that allows users to respond more demanding routes in comfort. This is also due to the configuration of the suspension system front is a MacPherson configuration while the rear suspension interconnected (ie semi-independent) with a torsion beam. Creating a design of Magneti Marelli, both configurations were chosen properly screened and developed for the new vehicle to ensure good handling and high ride comfort.
Powerful, smooth energy sources.
Abarth are known and appreciated around the world of sports cars that are able to offer the challenge of a great tradition of races and victories, thanks to the genius of an exceptional engine. Cars that enhance everyday driving experience with a touch of true and authentic racing driving pleasure.
The new 500 Abarth promotes these qualities, but if necessary can also offer something more: more performance, handling, increased braking capacity. All the dynamic performance of the car on the track, in other words. Especially useful lively engine hiding under the bonnet Fire 1.4 16v petrol Turbo engine that produces a maximum power of 135 hp (99 kW) at 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 206 Nm at 3000 rpm in 'Sport' (in normal mode, the torque is 180 Nm at 2500 rpm). Power source, providing an emotional performance at the same time to make 500 Abarth extremely pleasant to drive, even everyday use.
In detail, the engine 1368 cm3 four-cylinder 16-valve (with turbo IHI fixed geometry turbocharger RHF3-P), which produces a dazzling spectacle. The maximum speed is 205 km / h, but the acceleration of 0-100 km / h takes only 7.9 seconds. This is partly achieved overboost function that activates the "sports button, which is regulated by the control unit and the mapping of the boost pressure at the wheel, in addition to the load but this generally brings with it the Abarth sporting a very low fuel consumption:. 5.4 l/100 km in combined cycle.
The new drive unit, the soft power that also proves to be gentle on the environment: the new Abarth is already designed to meet the more stringent restrictions imposed by the future European standards (Euro 5), and comply with the limits emission is due to take effect in 2009.
It is also worth remembering that the 135 hp 1.4 16V Turbo T-Jet is a new T-Jet family, which applies the philosophy of reduction: the adoption of a new-generation turbocharger, combined with a smaller capacity engine, allows you to achieve performance levels comparable or even better than the higher capacity of energy sources, but the fuel consumption and emissions. Again, the presence of the turbo significantly increases the maximum torque, so it's available in the lower RPMs, but the results are more flexible and unprecedented response compared to conventional aspirated engines. This should be a fundamental simplicity of the benefits of strength and reliability.
Role of telemetry.
Blue & Me ™ MAP telemetry 500 Abarth will make its debut. This adds a very innovative service was developed by Magneti Marelli, the result of know-how built the world race, and to help combine sport performance advantages of the Blue & Me ™ MAP.
The control function shows the most important profession in the vehicle parameters (engine speed, vehicle speed, speed) that is transferred from the Blue & Me ™ at the PND (Portable Navigation Device) Bluetooth.
TRACK function available if the driver is one of the circuits on the SD card, looks set for more information, such as the car's position on the track (using GPS) and travel time.
The setup function allows you to store telemetry data for a route and assign it to an individual session (identified by the name of the driver, circuit, date). The recorded data can be retrieved easily and also analyzed at a later, thanks to the analysis function.
The Blue & Me ™ MAP 500 represents a new frontier in the market for portable navigation system: the system is safe and easy to use because of the high level of integration on board in terms of electrical / mechanical (obtained through support specific in the dashboard) and also in terms of connectivity ensured by a Bluetooth connection to the platform Blue & Me ™.
The advantages of this structure is considerable: the device uses the data from the vehicle CAN network to improve navigation, voice messages are played through the integrated sound system, navigation pictograms are shown on the dashboard and the destination can be specified using the buttons on the steering wheel or via voice commands.

Monitoring activities have also been very successful. The proven effectiveness of an Abarth 500 Abarth 500 Selenia Selenia Italia trophies and Europe joined this year for the championship reserved for car-ACI-CSAI Formula Abarth cars with the intention of allowing young drivers to show his courage behind the wheel of car experience capacity at an affordable price.
In 2011, high expectations surround the car will debut in Europe, where Formula Abarth championship.
Last but not least, Abarth returns to the Paris Motor Show with a stand excellent, mixing with big world premieres of successful models of stress - again - the brand's unique position in the international automotive scene. The idea behind the design of space is a simplification: the architecture does not use language to interpret the brand, but acts as a basis for improving their values. Abarth and his world on stage and the brand is presented to the public in all its purity and simplicity, in its essence to the fullest. This approach focuses attention on the three new Abarth cars, located in a spacious, three areas of light, a large LED display that represents the central element of the landscape that is ideal for cars.

Abarth Punto Evo 2010 Review
The new 165 hp 1.4 petrol engine with Turbo MultiAir is the result of the successful union of the powertrain technology (FPT) and the work of Abarth engineers. Since its introduction last year at the Geneva Motor Show, Abarth engineers began working on this new technology to improve performance and make it a real Abarth.
MultiAir marked a break with the normal stage gasoline engine. Compared with a conventional gasoline engine of equivalent size, a MultiAir engine develops more power (up to 10%) and torque (up to 15%), while consuming less fuel (up to 10%) and emit less CO2 (up to 10%).

Abarth Punto 1.4 petrol engine Multiair Ages is to improve the innovative & Stop. The device monitors the temporary resumption of the engine cut-off and following the minimum at a standstill. In these situations, typical of heavy traffic in urban areas and when stopped at traffic lights, the system automatically stops the engine when the control strategy can reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 10% in urban areas and 3, 5% of the grade during the NEDC.
As soon as the brake pedal or a gear engaged, the system starts the engine quickly to provide immediate feedback to the user's control. If the engine is turned off accidentally (box), the setting of traffic, can be restarted by simply pressing the clutch.
Start & Stop system offers additional advantages of cabin comfort, because there is no vibration or noise.
The system interacts with the driver is informed of the use of the device using the messages from the control panel and can always turn it off using a control panel near the steering wheel.
The innovative multi power unit ensures sporting performance with low emissions and low fuel consumption. In tests conducted by the Abarth engineers, fuel economy has improved in spite of the high performance motor sport. Specifically, the fuel consumption is 8.1 l/100 km in city driving, 6.0 l/100 km combined cycle and 4.8 l/100 km in the extra urban cycle. MultiAir engine emissions are low, ensuring receipt of Euro 5 emissions of just 142 g / km.

The development of active and passive safety.
Abarth's philosophy is to ensure the performance of sport in complete safety. For this reason, the Abarth Punto Evo is to improve the facilities that provide the best dynamic performance on any surface.
The icing on the cake is TTC Torque Transfer Control. This improves the transfer of torque to the wheels, in particular, guarantees excellent cornering, making the car safer and more entertaining during a sporty drive. Specifically, the TTC is a differential system that uses such technology as a reactive element, distribute torque through the braking system through the ESP sensors (wheel speed, steering angle, yaw, etc.).
The TTC is automatically activated in sport and self-regulates the level of block after the dynamic properties such as speed.
In the field of security, makes Punto Abarth Evo new standards because of its seven airbags including a driver's knee bag. It is one of very few cars in its segment with a knee bag for the driver as standard on all versions.
The Punto Abarth Evo brakes are powerful and effective. Disc brakes are fitted on all wheels. The front brakes are ventilated with Brembo twin-piston fixed. The suspension system is based on a tested configuration Abarth, the front is a MacPherson suspension and independent rear suspension is a continuous process (semi-independent) with a torsion beam. Compared with normal brake systems Abarth overhaul, anti-roll bar, oversized, and the front springs are 20% stiffer. These improvements provide impeccable road holding while maintaining a high degree of comfort.
Race-inspired aerodynamic developments.
What's the respect, the work of the Punto Abarth, Evo is designed to improve the performance of attention to aerodynamic considerations.
Compared to Fiat, the front bumper has been extended so that it works perfectly with side flaps and front valence is printed at the base to make room for the intake side, to guide and correct the air flow to improve significantly the aerodynamic flow , drawing inspiration from the rally version.
The completely redesigned rear bumper with side vents and diffuser includes a new badge, which is optimally channels the air flow. Compared to the previous version, the speaker is now without a frame to give more attention, and its appearance reflects the front splitter.
The dual exhaust is larger diameter, an obvious homage to the history of Abarth, and also different satin finish.
Reversing and rear fog functions were moved to the middle of the diffuser to draw attention, like in Formula 1. New face reflector frame and highlight the airfoil almost as if to reflect the effects of LEDs on the rear window.
Spoiler is a completely renewed in terms of color (it is now the same color as the body to make the lines of the car more consistent and dynamic) and, above all, its volume: the new time, the conical shape of the CX and CZ to improve performance, the Abarth Punto EVO more stable.
The "mustache" just around the logo has been completely revised and made more athletic because of the appearance of the grid. Similarly, the badge is no longer on the icon around the car before, but returned to the historical form already in the 500th Abarth
The side strips and side skirts in body color is to highlight the attitude of a car is very close to the ground. The side of graphic design is now part of the front bumper and it was changed to stabilize the proportions of the side panel making the surface color of the body slimmer. Another new feature has been redesigned wheel covers 17''� Abarth rays inspired by the symbol, the scorpion, which is also evident in the hubcaps.
The interior is completely renovated. Appearance and finishing materials used are similar to the road surface on the slopes, which takes the feeling of the track inside the cab.
The new central console is divided into two parts, a radio module with a glossy black finish, which is located in the middle of the LCD. Air conditioning can be found below, in a separate panel, the vents are above the storage space.
The instruments of conduct specifically caused by high speed counter function Jaeger faces, a new graphic design and sporty design the hood to protect against the Sun leather adorned with red stitching and yellow.
Jobs, the new structure is evident. Soft black leather is used to cut the seat and back in the same containment bands are cut in a hi-tech fabric to provide the right balance of comfort, breathability and abrasion resistance.
Just as before, you can still install the Abarth Racing monocoque Sabelt seats, which offer the best possible combination of features such as lightweight sports seats and the ability to hold the body in the presence of lateral and longitudinal forces.

New sport
Given its improved technology, each Toyota Sienna rides good and clean track in the turns, but no more than the newest addition to the line: the sporty SE.
SE is designed for those who enjoy a more sporty design with high performance. The front has a more aggressive and the visual side skirting lowers the vehicle. Aerodynamic sculpting of cuddly 19-inch alloy wheels, specially designed for sporty driving. Separation of the SE away from other qualities, smoked rear lights create a striking visual statement. SE sitting lower on sport suspension to speed feedback and improved handling. In addition, the instrumentation is built with an exclusive and unique interior colors and trim.
Comfort is the key
Cottage of the new Toyota Sienna is a conceptual leap forward, the mixing of more personal space, bigger load capacity, and improve teamwork.
The interior is more than two inches longer, and the seats now have a longer flight, which can accommodate a wider range of shapes and sizes.
The front seats have more travel in the rear and the steering wheel has a less vertical position so that the driver can take a comfortable driving position. The driver of instruments and controls are clear and precise, and width greater cabin to create an expanded personal space for driver and front passenger.
Numerous storage areas, cupholders and cargo space is strategically located in a privileged position. Conversation mirror, sunglass case, a leading integrated console allows eye contact with the rear passengers.
Both cabins seven and eight seats can be configured to a full contingent of passengers, a load of freight, or a combination of both convenient. In seven-seat cabin, the captain chairs second row slides 23 inches rearward movement of the legs to create for passengers the highest and easier to get in and out. They can be moved near the front seats to make it easy to care for a child passenger, while providing easy access for passengers in the third row.
The center console sliding on the qualities and limited hard XLE four-wheel drive can be shared between the front passenger and second row. The bracket slides into the illuminated area of the second row for easy access to both rows, so the need for storage and passenger comfort can also be served.
For passenger comfort even more, is normal to be in the second row to the limited extent, including the legs and footrest. Second-row seats in all grades have dual armrests, and a mechanism for the movement of an assignment for the seat must be removed.
There are eight models of cars, the second row middle seat can be removed and stored on the left side of the storage area. When the center-seat storage, cup holders and storage compartment is revealed. Eight passengers inside can be easily optimized for seven passengers, and quickly reconfigured back to eight.
The second row seats also have a long fall and end up, allowing them to slide back and forth on the rails spread, making more room for passengers or goods, as required. All of the second row, regardless of the setting out of the way with one touch for easy access to the third row of seats.
60/40 Split and Stow third-row seats folded into one manual, front wheel drive limited power capacity. The third line has been moved back about two inches for added comfort. When the third row of seats is sufficient storage space of five golf bags or four large suitcases. Four clips of food on hand, two rear and two backs in the second row, the convenience of storage.
It's easier than ever to load the Toyota Sienna, with wider doors and a row of seats in the second key. By sliding the second row of seats down to the back, an appointment is created on the road, making it easier to enter, exit, install a child seat, or put a child in a seat. The second row of seats can be moved all the way forward, just behind the front row to maximize cargo capacity behind, especially in the third row stored flat.
With the third row stowed and removed from the second row, the cargo area is about eight feet long by four wide. Open the back door is wide and spacious, set at a height that makes loading and unloading.
Cabin air filter comes standard with air conditioning system, which monitors the temperature of the three different areas.
Innovative Technologies
Toyota has a rear seat Dual View Entertainment Center is another innovative solution. The system uses two displays side by side to create a perfect 16.4 inch widescreen image from a single source. When two separate entertainment options are needed, the system can divide the screen into two individual screens, each with input from various sources. Used as a single screen, it can easily be seen from the third row, and can be operated remotely from anywhere. Used as two screens, the system can adapt to the preferences of two separate passengers who wish to play a video game or watch a DVD simultaneously via the second AUX.
Other technical innovations include the first camera Panorama Toyota behind the monitor. It offers two views behind the vehicle, including a 180 degree view, and display a back-up guides, helping motorists to turn off the parking lot or driveways.

VW Concept XL1 (2011)
Future of mobility is one of the most interesting of our time. The key question: How can the energy consumption of cars will be reduced if all stops were removed to be effective? There is now an answer to this question, and Volkswagen is delivered in the form of the new Concept Volkswagen XL1. Combined consumption: 0.9 l/100 km. No other hybrid car powered by an electric motor / combustion engine the most efficient mix of fuel. The prototype made its world debut at the Salon in 2011 in Qatar Motor (26 to 29 January 2011).
Conceptually, the XL1 Volkswagen is the third step in the evolution of Volkswagen's strategy in a liter. When opened the new millennium, Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piech, now chairman of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG, made the visionary goal of marketing a production car that was practical for everyday use with a consumption of 1.0 liters fuel per 100 km. The new XL1, Volkswagen demonstrates that this goal is within reach.
Despite the high levels of efficiency, developers were able to design a development organization that provides more daily, with side by side seats instead of the tandem arrangement is seen in the first two 1-liter Car made in 2002 and L1 presented in 2009. The new Volkswagen XL1 produces wing doors make it easier to enter and exit the car. Further progress is made by body parts carbon fiber reinforced polymer pieces (CFRP), a technique used in the automotive Formula 1. Once again, Volkswagen has managed to achieve significant reductions in production costs - an important step to return a limited production run XL1. Background: collaboration with suppliers, Volkswagen has developed and patented a new system for the production of carbon fiber in this process is known as ARTM (Advanced Resin Transfer Moulding).
Plug-in hybrid concept
With the new XL1 Volkswagen is implementing a concept plug-in hybrids are more fuel-efficient technologies in the common rail turbodiesel engine (TDI) and dual-clutch transmission (DSG). TDI produces its maximum effect at 35 kW/48 hp 0.8-liter engine only. The set is housed hybrid above the rear axle car driving. The real hybrid module with an electric motor and the clutch is placed between TDI and 7-speed DSG, this module is integrated into the DSG gearbox, instead of the usual wheel. The lithium-ion battery provides E-motor with energy. The flow of energy at high voltage and the battery or the E-motor controlled by power electronics that operate at 220 volts. Volkswagen XL1 body electrical system is supplied with the necessary 12 volts via a DC / DC converter.
E-motor Interaction and TDI: The electric motor is accelerating TDI (stimulant), but as described can also feed the XL1 concept itself for a distance of 35 km. In this mode, the TDI is decoupled from the driveline to disengage the clutch, and closes. Meanwhile, the clutch on the side of the gearbox is kept closed, so the DSG is fully committed to the electric motor. Important: The driver can choose to drive the Volkswagen XL1 in pure electric mode (if the battery is charged). Once the mode button on the electrical panel is pressed, the car is powered solely by electricity. Restarting the IDA is a very soft and comfortable: In what is known as "pulse start" while driving TDI engine, the rotor of the electric motor accelerates, and is coupled to the clutch motor. This speeds up the TDI at the required speed and starts.
The entire process takes place without any shocks, so that the driver hardly notices the TDI engine restart.
When the XL1 is braked, the electric motor acts as a generator that uses the energy of braking to recharge the battery (renewal). In certain operating conditions, the load is divided in the TDI engine and an electric motor can be moved so that the diesel has the lowest efficiency. Fishing gear is automatically transferred to 7-speed DSG is also always be chosen to minimize power consumption. The motor controller regulates the flow of all energy and disk management tasks, taking into account the power demand at any time by the pilot. Some of the parameters used to implement the state power to provide optimal conditions are: accelerator pedal position and engine load as well as energy supply and mix of commercial energy and electricity at any given time.
The two-cylinder TDI used in the mass production of technology: 0.8-liter TDI (35 kW/48 hp) came from the 1.6-liter TDI, which is to drive cars like the Golf and Passat. 0.8 TDI has the same information as the 1.6-liter TDI common-rail distance between the cylinders (88 mm) diameter cylinder (79.5 mm) and stroke (80.5 mm). In addition, the concept of a twin-cylinder Volkswagen XL1 and mass-produced four-cylinder engine uses an internal action to reduce emissions. They are particularly piston recesses multiple injections and single injection in the direction of individual projects. Excellent, good engines, common-rail operation was moved to a two-cylinder engine. In addition to the balance within the room that controls the speed of rotation of the engine, while optimizing the engine is running smooth.
Meanwhile, the aluminum of the TDI was built for rigidity and accuracy, which in turn leads to very low friction loss. With the aim of reducing emissions, recycling of exhaust gases and an oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter is used. Equipped in this way, the 0.8 TDI already complies with the limits of the Euro-6 emissions standard.
Designed for the efficiency of the cooling system of the car. Control only by activating the TDI engine externally cooled electric pump when the engine operating conditions so require. This includes the cooling system is automatically controlled air intake system for the front of the cooling system of the vehicle to reduce drag. This thermal management strategy will also help reduce fuel consumption. Another electric water pump, which is used only when necessary, around the bottom loop to cool the temperature of the coolant starter generator and power electronics.
CFRP body is a technical masterpiece
The development team made extraordinary progress in the design of the CFRP body - in the form of its lightweight construction and aerodynamics. A comparison with the Gulf illustrates how innovative body concept for the new XL1 is.
The drag coefficient of the Gulf of success is very good for the compact segment: CD (0312) x (2.22 m2 frontal area) is equal to a total of 0693 m2 trawl (Cd.A) offer this references benchmark car in its class aerodynamics. Meanwhile, Volkswagen XL1 overcomes this performance with a 0186 value of CD and frontal area of 1.50 m2. The product of these two parameters gives a total drag, or the value of 0277 m2 Cd.A which is 2.5 times less than the Golf.
Designing a new era is 3888 VW XL1 mm long, 1665 mm wide and only 1,156 mm high. These are extreme dimensions. The Polo has a similar length (3970 mm) and width (1682 m), but it is much higher (1462 mm). The height of the new XL1 is approximately the same as a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (1184 mm). So it is easy to see how such a wonderful Volkswagen seems on the road - long and wide as a polo, but with a lower profile than a Lamborghini.
The wing doors for the new Volkswagen XL1 is also reminiscent of a sports car luxury. They consist of two points: making the A-pillars and windshield just above the roof structure, not just appear, but slightly forward as well. The doors also extends far into the roof. Once opened, they release an abnormally high amount of input and output space.
Visually, the new XL1 also adopts a style of lines L1 introduced in 2009, but the new prototype has a more dynamic, thanks to its greater width. The design of the whole body was subjected to uncompromising laws of aerodynamics. Opposite, with VW XL1 concept of the greater width of the car, then shrinks back. Seen from above, resembles the type of XL1, a dolphin, especially at the back where the lines optimally in accordance with the airflow over the vehicle body to reduce the air resistance of Volkswagen.
The front of the new Volkswagen Concept XL1 does not exhibit the typical radiator grille, but reflects the current style of 'design DNA' Volkswagen, of which most of the horizontal line. In particular, a black cross-track (an area where no grid), which combines energy-efficient dual-LED lights form a continuous band. The air intake for cooling the actual design of the TDI engine, battery and interior is in the lower front section and an electronic control of the Louvre. Sideindicators Strait is also designed for LED technology, these are the bow "L" shaped wheel vertical and the horizontal line under the headlights. This will create a front-end, which - although it has been completely renovated, and its extreme dimensions - can be immediately recognized in the design of Volkswagen's clean lines.
