BMW M5 Transmission

The M5 uses the “SMG III” 7-speed single-clutch Electrohydraulic manual transmission, that performs gear shift in 65-250 milliseconds.

The SMG III includes launch control, a hill holder, shift-lock avoidance (by briefly disengaging the clutch during downshifts) and an automatic shift mode. However, many reviews have observed the automatic mode of the transmission at low or frequent stop start speeds as being less smooth than that of a conventional automatic transmission.
In North America, a conventional six-speed manual transmission was announced in October 2006. The SMG III remained the default transmission in North America, while the manual was available as a no cost option. The six-speed manual M5 was marginally slower in certain tests, as the dynamic stability control could not be disengaged unlike the SMG version (however this was later made possible and a retrofit was released for earlier cars). In North America, the launch control for SMG transmissions is set at 1,500 rpm, instead of the 4,000 rpm used in other regions. mazda wallpapers, car wallpaper lamborghini, lexus wallpapers, BMW M5 wallpapers, koenigsegg wallpapers

Porsche 911 Water-cooled engines

The Type 996 introduced in 1998 represented two major changes for the venerable 911 lineage: a water-cooled flat-6 engine replaced the popular air-cooled engine used in the 911 for 34 years, and the body shell received its first major re-design. Changing to a water-cooled engine was controversial with Porsche traditionalists, who noted this as the end of the ‘true’ 911.

The 996 styling shared its front end with Porsche’s mid engine entry-level Boxster. Pinky Lai’s work on the exterior won international design awards between 1997 and 2003. Porsche 911 wallpapers#BmwM8 #LamborghiniVeneno #PorscheCayenne #BmwM8 #AudiRS3

Ford Buses

Ford manufactured complete buses in the company’s early history, but today the role of the company has changed to that of a second stage manufacturer. In North America, the E-Series is still used as a chassis for small school buses and the F-650 is used in commercial bus markets. In the 1980s and 1990s, the medium-duty B700 was a popular chassis used by school bus body manufacturers including Thomas Built, Ward, and Blue Bird, but Ford lost its market share due to industry contraction and agreements between body manufacturers. Older bus models included:

Prior to 1936, Ford buses were based on truck bodies:

Model T ? 1920s

BMW 5 Series E12

Suspension
The BMW E12 has a self-supporting body, a longitudinally mounted front engine, and rear-wheel drive. All four wheels are suspended independently. The front wheels have McPherson struts with coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers, and transverse control arms. The rear axle is a diagonal link axle with coil springs, and hydraulic shock absorbers. Models with a power output of 125 PS (92 kW) or more have an additional sway bar on the rear axle. All models except the M535i have 14-inch steel alloy wheels with a wheel-width of either 5.5 or 6 inches. Therefore, the tyre size is either 175 mm or 195 mm. All models use worm and sector steering, which is power assisted from the 528 onwards. The braking system is a dual-circuit system with front disc brakes; on the rear wheels, 518/520/i models were fitted with drum brakes, all models from the 525 onwards have disc brakes. koenigsegg wallpapers, car wallpaper 2020, lambo wallpapers, BMW 5 Series E12 wallpapers, mercedes wallpapers

(Nissan Silvia)The S15 Silvia included aggressive styling inside and out, updating the previous Silvia styling in-line with modern car design trends. The body dimensions were reduced from the previous generation so that it would comply with Japanese Government compact class, which had an effect on sales of the previous model.

The S15 Silvia model lineup was initially simplified to just the Spec-S and Spec-R, both models offering an “Aero” variant with a large rear wing and side skirts/valances. Nissan Silvia wallpapers#BmwX2 #BmwM4 #FerrariF12 #FerrariCalifornia #AudiRS3

Audi A5

The RS 5 Coup? is powered by a 2.9 liter TFSI V6 twin turbo engine producing 450 PS (331 kW; 444 hp) and 600 N?m (443 lbf?ft) of torque that is also used in the Panamera 4S. It is 60 kg (132 lb) lighter than its predecessor. Power is delivered to the quattro system with a 8-speed automatic transmission. The new RS 5 accelerates from 0?100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 280 km/h. It also comes with a honey comb grille, wider fenders and aggressively-styled front bumper with bigger openings than the A5 and S5.

Further developments include a new chassis featuring a five link front and rear suspension coupled to Audi Sport?s Dynamic Ride Control system offering variable damping control. Other options included with a carbon fiber engine cover and ceramic front brakes.

The RS 5 Sportback was unveiled at the 2018 New York Auto Show. aston martin wallpapers, car wallpapers and hd backgrounds, lotus wallpapers, Audi A5 wallpapers, mazda wallpapers

(Nissan Skyline)ALSI-2 series
The ALSI-2 series was released in October 1959 and was nearly identical to the ALSI-1 series except for the engine. Higher quality fuel allowed for an increase in compression and a power increase to 70 hp (71 PS). This new engine was designated the FG4A-40 (this engine was also known as the GA-4).

The ALSI-2-1 series was released in February 1960. The Deluxe, along with the commercial variants, were updated with quad headlights (the standard model retained the twin headlights). The side strip design was changed on standard models; the V-shape in the side strip was moved from the front doors to the rear doors. On Deluxe models the side strip design remained the same. The standard model gained quad headlights in September 1960 with the release of the ALSI-2-2 series. Nissan Skyline wallpapers#PorscheCayman #PaganiHuayra #subaru #FerrariFF #AudiRS3

Mercedes SLS Class

The 300 SL was introduced in 1954 in coup? form, featuring gullwing doors. The 300 SL roadster succeeded the coup? in 1957. The four-cylinder 190 SL was more widely produced with 25,881 units, starting in 1955. Cars of the open SL-Class were available as a coupe with a removable hardtop or as a roadster with convertible soft top or with both tops. Production for the 190 SL and 300 SL ended in 1963.

300 SL (“Gullwing”): 1954?1957, 3.0 L I6, 215 PS (158 kW)
300 SL (Roadster): 1957?1963 3.0 L I6, 225 PS (165 kW)
190 SL: 1955?1963, 1.9 L I4, 105 PS (77 kW) volvo wallpapers, car wallpaper, ferrari wallpapers, Mercedes SLS Class wallpapers, porsche wallpapers

(Toyota Supra)The interior of the Supra had optional power windows and power locks as part of the convenience package. The convenience package also included cruise control and special door trim with door pull straps with an optional sunroof. As for standard features, in the centre console there was an extendable map light and a flip-top armrest, which provided storage. Some other features were the tilt steering wheel, deep zippered pockets on the backs of the front seats, and a tonneau cover under the liftback. The dashboard also contained a state of the art AM/FM/MPX 4-speaker stereo radio, analog clock, and tachometer as part of the instrument panel.

Ford F Series First generation

The first-generation F-Series pickup (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in 1948 as a replacement for the previous car-based pickup line introduced in 1942. The F-Series was sold in eight different weight ratings, with pickup, panel truck, cab-over engine (COE), conventional truck, and school bus chassis body styles. mazda wallpapers, this app, lambo wallpapers, Ford F Series wallpapers, lexus wallpapers

BMW 7 Series G11

Engines
The powertrain line-up consists of a 4.4 litre V8 engine and three engines from BMW’s modular B-series engine architecture?two 3.0 litre inline-six engines in petrol and diesel form, as well a 2.0 litre inline-four engine including the hybrid model designated as 740e/740Le, or 730i/730Li for the petrol version. Initially, each model can be equipped with all-wheel drive and is mated to an 8-speed Steptronic ZF automatic transmission. The 750i/750Li, 740i/740Li and 740d/740Ld models are optionally available with the all-wheel drive option xDrive. The transmission can be optionally linked with the satellite navigation system that provides the transmission with geographical data to adjust shift timing in relation to current driving conditions.

The G11 is the first 7 Series generation to feature a plug-in hybrid variant, called the 740e iPerformance. This new model effectively replaces the rather undersold ActiveHybrid 7, which evolved from a 750i based mild hybrid to a 740i based full hybrid in 2014 post-LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) variant. The 740e is marketed as a BMW iPerformance car, not as a member of the BMW i sub-brand. buick wallpapers, android, maserati wallpapers, BMW 7 Series G11 wallpapers, bmw wallpapers

(Mazda MX-5)The Duo 101, so named as either a soft top or hardtop could be used, incorporated many key stylistic cues inspired by the Lotus Elan, a 1960s roadster, including the door handles and grille opening. International Automotive Design (IAD) in Worthing, England was commissioned to develop a running prototype, codenamed V705. It was built with a fiberglass body, a 1.4 L (85 cu in) engine from a Mazda Familia and components from a variety of early Mazda models. The V705 was completed in August 1985 and taken to the US where it rolled on the roads around Santa Barbara, California and got positive reactions.

Ford 21st century

By 2005, both Ford and GM’s corporate bonds had been downgraded to junk status, as a result of high U.S. health care costs for an aging workforce, soaring gasoline prices, eroding market share, and an over dependence on declining SUV sales. Profit margins decreased on large vehicles due to increased “incentives” (in the form of rebates or low interest financing) to offset declining demand. In the latter half of 2005, Chairman Bill Ford asked newly appointed Ford Americas Division President Mark Fields to develop a plan to return the company to profitability. Fields previewed the Plan, named The Way Forward, at the December 7, 2005, board meeting of the company and it was unveiled to the public on January 23, 2006. “The Way Forward” included resizing the company to match market realities, dropping some unprofitable and inefficient models, consolidating production lines, closing 14 factories and cutting 30,000 jobs.

Ford moved to introduce a range of new vehicles, including “Crossover SUVs” built on unibody car platforms, rather than more body-on-frame chassis. In developing the hybrid electric powertrain technologies for the Ford Escape Hybrid SUV, Ford licensed similar Toyota hybrid technologies to avoid patent infringements. Ford announced that it will team up with electricity supply company Southern California Edison (SCE) to examine the future of plug-in hybrids in terms of how home and vehicle energy systems will work with the electrical grid. Under the multimillion-dollar, multi-year project, Ford will convert a demonstration fleet of Ford Escape Hybrids into plug-in hybrids, and SCE will evaluate how the vehicles might interact with the home and the utility’s electrical grid. Some of the vehicles will be evaluated “in typical customer settings”, according to Ford. maserati wallpapers, android app, lambo wallpapers, Ford wallpapers, audi wallpapers

(Nissan Silvia)Motorsports
The elimination of Group B from the World Rally Championship signified the end of Nissan’s FJ24-powered 240RS. The FJ20ET-powered Silvia RS-X of 1986 would have been Nissan’s first choice, however there was an insufficient number of that exact trim sold in Japan to meet the WRC’s Homologation requirements (minimum 5000 units). Nissan had to quickly find a car to replace the 240RS.

The North American 1987 200SX SE V6 was chosen and competed in 1986-89 as a 200SX. Nissan’s creation and choice of this car ensured they could sell 5000 cars required for WRC Homologation. The S12 “SE” trim’s V6 held the only real appeal to the North American market, allowing Nissan to sell right at 5000 cars to a single specification. The V6 was a very unusual choice as the WRC was dominated by 4-cylinder 2.0 L turbocharged engines, although for similar reasons Toyota entered WRC with the 6-cylinder Supra at the same time. The 200SX achieved a first place in the 1988 Ivory coast rally and second place for two years running in the very challenging Safari Rally 1988 and Safari Rally 1989.

Mark Skaife won the 1987 Australian 2.0 Litre Touring Car Championship driving a Nissan Gazelle entered by the Nissan Motor Company. Nissan Silvia wallpapers#AudiRS4 #PorscheTaycan #Lambo #PorscheTaycan #AudiRS3

These items are standard in some export markets. koenigsegg wallpapers, google play, subaru wallpapers, Audi A3 wallpapers, mazda wallpapers

(Toyota Land Cruiser)1997 ? A total of 4,744 FZJ80 Land Cruisers were sold in the United States as “40th Anniversary Limited Edition” models. They were available in 2 colours; Antique Sage Pearl (often referred to as Riverrock, Pewter, or Grey) and Emerald Green. The 40th Anniversary models included apron badges, a serial number badge on the centre console, black pearl exterior badges, “40th Anniversary Limited Edition” embroidered floor mats, automatic climate control, two-tone tan and brown leather interiors, and wheels with the “D” windows painted dark gray. Many were manufactured with the optional electric front and rear locking differentials, keyless entry, port-installed roof racks and running boards. There are some examples that did not have many of these optional extras. This was the last year for the electric locking front differentials.
