Hyundai Accent / Verna 2011 at the Beijing Motor Show!!!

Hyundai Verna 2011 at the 2010 Beijing Automotive Exhibition.


Wow!!! Hyundai Verna 2011 looks absolutely amazing!!! Honestly, I think Hyundai has been doing a very good job. They are really moving forward. Well done!!!

Verna is powered by the new generation Gamma gasoline engine, featuring multiport fuel injection. Verna delivers best-in-class fuel economy, in keeping with Hyundai`s pledge to be the industry`s eco-leader.

Featuring all-aluminium construction for weight-saving, the 1.6L DOHC Gamma delivers 90.4Kw@6300rpm and 155Nm of peak torque @ 4200rpm through a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission.

For cost-conscious car buyers, the base Verna is offered with the 1.4L DOHC edition of the Gamma which puts out 78.7Kw@6300rpm and 135.4Nm@5000rpm and comes with the choice of a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic. Fuel economy is rated 5.7?/100km with the manual; 6.2?/100km with the automatic (1.4L with Fuel Economy Package).

Such impressive performance was made possible by a variety of enhancements to the engine including Continuously Variable Valve Timing, a smart alternator and air conditioning compressor plus the adoption of motor-driven power steering.

Special ultra-high tensile strength steel has been applied to the car to enhance the overall stiffness of the body structure for superior crash protection: Verna achieves best-in-class safety, aiming to satisfy the CNCAP 5? rating. Thanks to the highly rigid body, the suspension is more securely anchored thus enhancing ride and handling characteristics and eliminating vibration and booming noise.

Verna`s wheelbase-longest-in-class-and its low overall height, give it extra stability and a very stylish look but without incurring a penalty in cabin size. In fact, the overall cabin dimensions are bigger than any rivals. And the trunk, measuring a spacious 454L can easily accommodate as many as four golf bags plus three small tote bags. So not only does it look great, but it`s very practical.

Car + Plane = Moller M400 Skycar!!!

Car + Plane = Skycar. The Moller M400 Skycar is likely to be the perfect way to beat the traffic jams. It's a four-seat motor which can unfold its wings in seconds and then soar through the air at up to 600kph (375mph) for a distance of 1,200km (750 miles). The fuel consumption of the skycar, which is tantalisingly close to production, is boasted to be lower than that of a Land Rover or Porsche.

William Burge's 'art-car' called Phantoms!!!

Woooow..... That's cool!!!
American artist William Burge, from Houston in Texas, sits behind the wheel of his 'art-car' Phantoms before the start of the Essen Motor Show in Germany on Monday. Under all those demonic faces lies the same type of car that used to star in Disney's Lovebug movies – a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle.
