The 525e (called 528e in North America and Japan) uses a 2.7-litre 6-cylinder M20 petrol engine which is optimised for fuel economy and torque at low engine speed, rather than the traditional high revving characteristics of BMW straight-six engines. The “e” stands for the greek letter eta, for economy. According to BMW, the 525e is more fuel efficient than the 520i, which has the same rated power of 92 kW. Since many markets tax cars based on engine displacement, the eta’s larger engine meant that it was not suitable everywhere. The model was expressly developed with the American market in mind. BMW’s corporate average fuel economy was at risk of not meeting requirements by 1984, primarily due to higher sales of their bigger, more expensive cars in the early 1980s. In Austria, the 525e was detuned to 88 kW (118 hp).
Factory performance figures for the manual transmission cars without a catalytic converter are a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph) and 0?100 km/h acceleration in 10.7 seconds. With a catalytic converter, the figures are a top speed of 188 km/h (117 mph) and 0?100 km/h acceleration in 11.3 seconds lambo wallpapers, supercars, lexus wallpapers, BMW 5 Series E28 wallpapers, jeep wallpapers
(Pagani Zonda)The Zonda GR is based on the Zonda S. It was built on the same carbon fibre chassis, with lightweight tube frames present on the front and rear. The bodywork was modified to include front and rear diffusers and louvers for improved aerodynamics. The car was 2 meters (6.6 ft) wide, in accordance with the regulations of the FIA and ACO. The car’s weight was reduced to 1,100 kg (2,425 lb), and a new suspension system was designed. Along with new motorsport oriented wheels and brakes. The engine was equipped with an enlarged radiator, and the engine and gearbox also had new oil coolers. The resulting engine is rated at around 600 PS (441 kW; 592 hp) at 5,800 rpm and 580 lb?ft (786 N?m) of torque at 4,300 rpm with a redline increased to 7,500 rpm. Performance figures include a 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) acceleration time of 3.3 seconds.
The car was entered into the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans, but retired after ten laps due to a gearbox failure. Pagani Zonda wallpapers#Mazda #Nissan #FerrariF12 #Maserati #AudiRS3
