(Ferrari SF90)Specifications Battery and driving modes The car has a 7.9 kWh lithium-ion battery for regenerative braking, giving the car 26 km (16 mi) of electric range. The car comes with four driving modes depending on road conditions. The modes are changed by the eManettino knob present on the steering wheel.
The eDrive mode runs the car only on the electric motors. The Hybrid mode runs the car on both the internal combustion engine and the electric motors and is the car’s default mode. In this mode, the car’s onboard computer (called control logic) also turns off the engine if the conditions are ideal in order to save fuel while allowing the driver to start the engine again. The Performance mode keeps the engine running in order to charge the batteries and keeps the car responsive in order for optimum performance. The Qualify mode uses the powertrain to its full potential.
The control logic system makes use of three primary areas; the high voltage controls of the car (including the batteries), the RAC-e (Rotation Axis Control-electric) torque vectoring system and the MGUK along with the engine and gearbox.

The 830i was a prototype that did not reach production. As the potential entry-level model, the 830i was to use the 3-liter V8 with 218 PS (160 kW; 215 hp) from the 530i and 730i, known internally as the M60B30. Eighteen cars were produced, thirteen of which had an automatic gearbox fitted. The model was dropped in favour of the 840Ci and almost all of the 18 cars were dismantled; one car is in a BMW museum. bmw wallpapers, car wallpaper, bentley wallpapers, BMW 8 Series wallpapers, bentley wallpapers
(Nissan Leaf)Awards At the 2010 Washington Auto Show, the Leaf was given the Green Car Vision Award by the Green Car Journal, which said that the Leaf “will provide the features, the styling, and the driving experience that will meet the needs of a sophisticated and demanding market, while producing zero localized emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels.” Popular Mechanics, upon awarding the Leaf its 2010 Breakthrough Award, explained that the Nissan Leaf is “not the first pure EV, but […] hits the mainstream like none of its predecessors.” Popular Mechanics also alluded to the Leaf’s 160 km (100 miles) range, which is said to be “enough for most commuters for the price of an average vehicle ? and with a much lower operating cost than gasoline-powered vehicles.” Nissan Leaf wallpapers#lamborghini #BmwX2 #ford #FordMustang #AudiRS3
The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly oversquare 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp) Type M121 BII 1.9 L straight-four SOHC engine. Based on the 300 SL’s straight six, it had an unchanged 85 mm bore and 4.3 mm reduced 83.6 mm stroke, was fitted with twin-choke dual Solex carburetors, and produced gross 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). In detuned form, it was later used in the W120 180 and W121 190 models.
The car was available either as a soft-top convertible (initially priced at DM 16,500/US$ 3,998) or with removable hardtop (DM 17,650/$ 4,295). A small third-passenger transverse seat was optional. During its first years the 190 SL was available as a sports-racing model with small perspex windscreen and spartan one-piece leather covered bucket seats and aluminium doors. In 1959, the hardtop’s rear window was enlarged. nissan wallpapers, lambo huracan, mazda wallpapers, Mercedes 190SL wallpapers, audi wallpapers
(Toyota Corolla)International (E140/E150 wide) For international markets, a wider version of the E140 was sold with different styling, with the ASEAN and Taiwanese markets retaining the Corolla Altis branding.

In 2005, Audi released the Coup?-only limited edition (800 sold in the UK, not the 1000 originally planned) Audi TT quattro Sport (known as the Audi TT Club Sport in Europe). Built by AUDI AG’s high-performance specialist subsidiary quattro GmbH, it had increased power from its 1.8-litre turbocharged engine ? rising to 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) and 320 N?m (236 lbf?ft) of torque ? and a reduction in weight of 75 kg (165 lb) to 1,390 kg (3,064 lb), which allowed for a 0?62 mph (0?100 km/h) time of 5.9 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h).
This weight reduction was achieved by removing the spare wheel, rear harmonic damper, rear parcel shelf and rear seats, and the standard fitment air conditioning. The main battery was also relocated to the rear of the vehicle in order to maintain weight distribution as much as possible. Lightweight fixed-back Recaro bucket seats graced the interior. Distinguishable from other TT Coup?s by its two-tone paint scheme (Phantom Black pearl painted roof, pillars and mirror housings, in combination with either Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Mauritius Blue or Misano Red body colour) and unique 18″ 15-spoke cast aluminium alloy wheels, plus the same body kit as fitted to the TT 3.2 V6, the TT quattro Sport also featured black exhaust tailpipes and uprated suspension settings and new wheels, ?” wider at the rear for improved handling. The brochure stated V6-spec brakes were to be fitted, however models delivered in the UK came with the standard 225 spec brake callipers which were red-painted.
Lawsuits There were two United States class action lawsuits affecting specific model years of the first generation TT. mclaren wallpapers, lamborghini wallpaper, audi wallpapers, Audi TT wallpapers, rolls royce wallpapers
(Mitsubishi)Circuit racing Mitsubishi’s motorsport debut was in touring car racing in 1962, when it entered its Mitsubishi 500 Super DeLuxe in the Macau Grand Prix in an effort to promote sales of its first post-war passenger car. In an auspicious debut, the diminutive rear-engined sedan swept the top four places in the “Under 750 cc” category, with Kazuo Togawa taking class honours. The company returned the following year with their new Colt 600 and again swept the podium with a 1?2?3 in the “Under 600 cc” class. In its final year of competition with touring cars in 1966, Mitsubishi scored a podium clean sweep in the “750?1000 cc” class of the 1964 Japanese Grand Prix with the Colt 1000, their first front-engined competition vehicle.
The company began concentrating on the Japanese GP’s emerging open-wheel “formula car” categories from 1966, winning the “Exhibition” class. They also scored class 1?2 in 1967 and 1968, and reached the podium in 1969 and 1970. They finished on a high with an overall 1?2 in the 1971 Japan GP, with the two litre DOHC F2000 driven by Kuniomi Nagamatsu. Mitsubishi wallpapers#bentley #FerrariCalifornia #BmwX5 #Mazda #AudiRS3
Presented in November 2018, the SP3JC is a one-off roadster based on the F12tdf. There were two matching cars ordered, one in LHD, the other in RHD with different liveries. They were designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre to pay homage to Ferrari roadsters of 1950s and 1960s. They are powered by the V12 engine from the F12tdf which is unchanged from the production car. The body has been completely redesigned, and includes redesigned front and rear fascias, a new front bumper, a rear diffuser, transparent hood vents that show off the engine, roll hoops behind the seats, taillights and wheels from the 812 Superfast and a blue, white and blue paint job that pays homage to the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. “JC” stands for John Collins, a Scottish collector and founder of Talacrest, a classic Ferrari dealer located in the U.K. He commissioned the car in mid 2014 and it took 3.5 years to complete. Ferrari said the design process alone took 2 of those years. aston martin wallpapers, lamborghini, bentley wallpapers, Ferrari F12 wallpapers, lamborghini wallpapers
(Porsche 911)In 1988, Porsche produced 875 examples of the CE or Commemorative Edition 911 Carrera in coupe, targa and cabriolet variants to mark the production of the 250,000th 911.

Independent front and rear suspension is used, with Macpherson struts at the front and a semi-trailing arm design for the rear.
The front suspension was upgraded to use dual links at the bottom of the strut, as first seen on the E23 7 Series. This increases steering offset while cornering, to improve steering feel.(p106) Double-acting shock absorbers, coil springs and a front anti-roll bar are used.
The rear suspension is mounted on a delta beam that is connected to the body with three screws in rubber bearings, that have longitudinal play. Some models have a rear anti-roll bar.
The steering on most models is a speed-dependent recirculating ball power steering system made by ZF Friedrichshafen. The 518i has a Gemmer steering system with a double enveloping worm gear, also made by ZF.
Wheel sizes are 14-inch (16-inch for the M5 model) or 390 mm Michelin TRX.(p44) All rims have 22 mm positive rim offset. ford wallpapers, supercar wallpaper, lamborghini wallpapers, BMW 5 Series E28 wallpapers, mazda wallpapers
(Toyota Hilux)In 1981, a vehicle development agreement was established between Toyota, Winnebago Industries and two other aftermarket customisers. This was to allow Toyota to enter the SUV market in North America. The vehicles which resulted from this collaboration were the Trekker (Winnebago), Wolverine, and the Trailblazer (Griffith). All three used the Hilux 4?4 RV cab and chassis, and an all-fiberglass rear section (the Trailblazer had a steel bed with a fiberglass top). There were at least 1,500 Trekkers, 400 Trailblazers and an unknown number of Wolverines sold in North America. Research and development work on the Trekker led to the development of the 4Runner/Hilux Surf, which was introduced in 1984. Toyota Hilux wallpapers#BmwM4 #LamborghiniUrus #mitsubishi #BmwM2 #AudiRS3

(Toyota Supra)1979 The mid 1979, changes for the 1980 model year US model were mostly cosmetic. The interior received a redesigned center console and a digital quartz clock. On the exterior were redesigned side view mirrors and 14×5?1/2 inch aluminum wheels were standard (the previous year had steel wheels with plastic wheel covers standard and the aluminum wheels were optional). In addition, body molded mudflaps became available. On cars finished in copper metallic and white, the mudflaps were painted the body colour while the mudflaps were left black on all other colours. On the rear of the mudflaps, the word “Celica” was painted in white lettering.
The official Supra site also notes that there was an addition of optional leather-trimmed seating and automatic climate-control. Toyota Supra wallpapers#DodgeChallenger #AudiA8 #mazda #mclaren #AudiRS3
It is a version of 3.0 TDI with selective catalytic reduction. CO2 emission was reduced to 234 g/km with Euro 6 certification, but the vehicle is 50 kg (110 lb) heavier.
Per Popular Mechanics 01 Oct. 2009. At 72.5MPH with a RPM of 2,200 – 2,500 (the sweet spot of the top gear), the car achieved a 29.6 MPG of diesel. subaru wallpapers, car wallpaper, lambo wallpapers, Audi Q7 wallpapers, rolls royce wallpapers
(Toyota Corolla)Eighth generation (E110; 1995) Production of the E110 Corolla started in May 1995. The design of the car was slightly altered throughout but retained a look similar to that of the E100. In 1998, for the first time, some non-Japanese Corollas received the new 1ZZ-FE engine. The new engine was the first in a Toyota to have an aluminum engine block and aluminum cylinder heads, which made this generation lighter than the E100 Corolla. The model range began to change as Toyota decided styling differences would improve sales in different markets.
This generation was delayed in North America until mid-1997 (US 1998 model year), where it had unique front and rear styling. Europe and Australasia received versions of their own as well. In Pakistan, this model was halted in November 1998, while production was closed in March 2002. Toyota Corolla wallpapers#subaru #KoenigseggAgera #AudiA5 #Koenigsegg #AudiRS3
The original 460-series Gel?ndewagen went on sale in 1979, after having debuted in February of that year. It was offered with two wheelbases, a short wheelbase (SWB) of 2,400 mm and a long one (LWB) of 2,850 mm. One could choose between three body styles: A two-door short wheelbase convertible, a two-door SWB wagon and a long wheelbase four-door wagon. The two wagon versions were also available as windowless two-door Vans (or Kastenwagen in German). While always assembled in Graz, the car was sold as the Puch G only in the Austrian, Swiss, and Eastern European markets.
During the G-Wagen’s life span many a different body style was made for army and public-service clients, like the Popemobile, the pickup or the chassis/cab with a wheelbase of 2,850, 3,120 or 3,400 mm, the chassis/cab being the base vehicle for army-ambulances or communication vehicles. Because of the sheer variety of military versions, this article focuses on the more standardized civilian G-Wagen.
The 460 was popular with military and off-road enthusiasts, with more than 50,000 built in the first decade. Mercedes-Benz initially did not sell the model in the United States, but by means of “casual importation” grey-market in the mid-1980s, importers sold a number of G-Wagens which had been modified to meet the specifications by the US DOT, at about $135,000.
The 461 is the dedicated military and parapublic service model, produced since 1990. The 462 designation was used on ELBO-made Greek army vehicles. The Peugeot P4 had its own designations. aston martin wallpapers, lambo veneno, bugatti wallpapers, Mercedes G Class wallpapers, chevrolet wallpapers
(Mitsubishi)History Mitsubishi’s automotive origins date back to 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A, Japan’s first series-production automobile. An entirely hand-built seven-seater sedan based on the Fiat Tipo 3, it proved expensive compared to its American and European mass-produced rivals, and was discontinued in 1921 after only 22 had been built.
