Chrysler and Nissan are together going to work within the framework of exchanges: a pick-up for Nissan and a small automobile for Chrysler.

In the term of the agreement between both builders, Chrysler will produce a big pick-up which he will supply to Nissan in 2011 on base of Dodge Ram. From his part, the Japanese will supply a wheelchair to Chrysler, in 2010, basing on a new platform. It is not the first collaboration between both marks because Nissan is already going to supply its compact berlin Overturned to Chrysler, for the South American market.

Besides, Chrysler indicated its collaboration with the Chinese Chery would continue in spite of the delay taken in the development of vehicles. Finally, according to the agency Bloomberg, the production of the Jeep Order should be abandoned in 2009, for lack of sufficient sales.

In new Agreement, Honda proposes a system putting handing of the car on the straight and narrow and so to avoid a change of involuntary band.

We already know the Citroën, Audi systems and BMW, for example, provoking vibrations to the seat or to the steering wheel if the driver seems to deviate from his trajectory involuntarily. Either because he is distracted, or because he falls asleep. Honda goes one not farther by allowing even the car to replace herself between lines. This system is called LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) and will be proposed in the new generation Agreement. This technology of assistance active of band of traffic works thanks to a small camera installed behind the windscreen. Its role is to watch the markings on the ground and so to detect any abnormality of the car.

Concretely, when the vehicle is about to cross the limit, a sound signal rings before acting concretely. The system leaves naturally a period of initiative to the driver, but if this one remains inactive, the power steering will be activated to replace the car between the bands of traffic(circulation). The LKAS works only in certain conditions.  First of all, the markings on the ground must be clear and visible, maintained well thus, then, he cannot have of tight bend there. The speed must be included between 72 and 180 kph and the driver has to have at least a hand on the steering wheel. Furthermore, he must not have made his twinkling lights working.  Finally, if the driver gives an abrupt movement or shows a behavior of avoidance as a matter of urgency, the system also deactivates.

All this enter an outfit of helps in the driving, as the anticollision radar. Any sets, they can decrease the risks of accident. Notably in case of slumber.

The English radical craftsman brings out a racing car to the report weight power totally insane.

Superlight R500 welcomes under its long hood, an engine 2 liters Ford Duratec of 263 horses peaking in 8500 tr / min. The power will be passed on in back wheels via a manual box or via a sequential box to six reports each. What knocks especially, it is its 490 kg weight. So that this automobile shows a report of more than 500 hp by ton. From then on, it is not surprising to bank on one 0 - 100 in 3 s to keep it on the road, this Caterham receives an antiskating and so to avoid that the wheels of 13 thumbs made too many whims.

A new four roll turbo-diesel enter the catalog Mercedes. This engine of 2143 cms ³ increases in power but decreases in consumption.

Four roll 250 CDI brings out a power of 204 hp (150 kW) of its capacity of 2,143 l. The couple peaks to 500 Nm. Furthermore, it was conceived to decrease consumption and noxious fumes to answer the standards Euro5. It benefits from then on of the overeating two floors, the pressure of banister common to 2000 bars (against 1600 bars previously), of a driving steering wheel and of a water pump. Among others.

This turbo-diesel will soon arrive in the Class C. So, Mercedes announces 5,4 liters in 100 km aboard a Class C. Let be discharges of 143 g of CO2 by km. 0 in 100 kph is made a success in 7,7 s Besides 250 CDI of 204 hp, this engine is also declined in two other variants: 220 CDI of 170 hp and 400 Nm (5,1 l in 100 km, 13 g CO2 / KM) and 200 CDI of 136 horses and 330 Nm. These CDIs will be also installed later, under the hood of the other models.

1000 horses by ton. It gives an idea of the extreme eccentricity of this version announced by the Ariel Atom.

The Ariel Atom is a very light minimalist car because almost without body. With its 300 hp, it is already a toy for the driver who ruffles the hair openly. And indeed the British craftsman still goes farther with the installation of V8 2.4 Russel Savory ( RS) any aluminium showing 500 horses in 10.000 tr / min. Given that the whole weighs hardly more than 500 kg, the report weight power is simply colossal. The transmission appeals to a sequential box to six reports Sadev. We do not still know the performances of this ground-to-ground missile which will arrive during the year, but the version of 300 hp already makes a success of one 0 - 100 in 3 and reaches 100 mph (approximately 161 kph) in 7 s Then with 500 hp, this funny machine should annihilate all which runs on road or almost.

In the show of New York, the Korean builder presented his Genesis Coupé with more than 300 hp under the hood.

Built on base of the berlina Hyundai Genesis revealed in 2007, the coupe takes advantage however of a muscular motorization, just like V6 of 3,8 liters. This last one develops 310 hp in 6000 tr/min and a couple of 356 Nm. Hyundai can so cross 0 to 100 kph in 6 sec and in 240 kph. More wisely, Genesis Coupe will also exist with one 2 liters turbo, in four cylinders, of 223 horses in 6000 tr/min showing hurriedly state-of-the-art 220 kph. This propulsion has a manual box to six reports either automatic in five speeds for the 2.0t and in six speeds for V6.

Hyundai is 4630 mm long, for a footing 2820 mm, 1865 mm wide and 1380 mm high. It puts shoes on wheel rims of 18 or 19 thumbs in five sticks. The driver will have in front of him two big analogical meters to watch his speed and the regime of the engine. The music lovers will appreciate the possibility of connecting their audio reader to the system Infinity. Bucket seats are heating. And the car starts via a button thanks to the key system in pocket.

Genesis Coupe will arrive on the Asian and American markets in 2009. In Europe, a number limited by copies could arrive a little later.

The Japanese builder adapted his Japanese Cube to make an electric motor car which he presented in concept in New York.

Denki, in Japanese, it means “electric”. 1.3 in four cylinders of the original Cubic model was replaced by an electric engine fed by flattened batteries lithium-ion installed under the floor and the seats. To welcome them, the cockpit of the Cube counts only two rows of seats, against three for the model with marketed oil, and the footing was stretched out by 23,9 cms. The concept can roll 160 km before having to reload for 8 hours. Its announced top speed is 120 kph.

Economic solution of development because it is a question of transplanting a mode of electric propulsion on an already existing model. To justify its qualifier of concept, the Cube benefits however from some aesthetic retouch to make show-bus. So, the cockpit was completely rebuilt. Outside, Denki Cube offers itself of new shields, of which a bumper before raising electric flashes of lighting and indicators in star. Rear-view mirrors and hub caps for the wheels of 16 thumbs are also unpublished.

This concept is also there to accustom the public American to the look of this city-dweller who, after Japan, will dash in the assault of the American market in 2009. At least, Nissan settled as objective of throw on the market, before 2015, an electric motor car. For 2010, the builder aspires to produce a thermal power-driven car showing an average consumption from 3 liters to 100 km.
