BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Reviews


The BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is recognizable by its control of the steering wheel in leather, the signature of twenty Alpina wheels, exterior aesthetic improvements, and some interior trim pieces. B7, but goes far beyond aesthetics. 

The advantages of the chassis brakes shorter and stiffer springs, bigger, wider tires, and alignment checked active dampers. Under the hood, supercharged 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V-8 BMW builds a new block, heads, turbochargers and inter-coolers, beating out 400 hp and 450 Nm to 500 horsepower and 516 lb-ft.

With the active dampers set to comfort or normal mode, the B7 is blowing it in pristine isolation, damping road imperfections and block unwanted noise as competent as the standard 7-series. Tap the rocker switch for sport or sport-plus mode, and the B7 is a sharper direct nature.

If you expect performance, but the Alpina’s addition of 100 hp seems a dubious improvement. The new turbocharger with larger compressor wheels have significantly more delay than the standard BMW units. And since the standard 400 hp little slow, the trade-off between power and responsiveness moved in the wrong direction here, in my opinion.

Dodge Viper SRT-10, 8.4 Liter Engine

Image
Right from the start, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 was a very hot rocket of a supercar, able to hold almost anything in a straight line, and in mid-range acceleration. Now, the independent Chrysler organisation has come up with an updated design and a yet more powerful engine. The new Viper is available as a coupe and roadster. The new car looks different, yet retains the unmistakably macho front end with the wide grille. Now, though, in addition to the central air intake in the hood there are louvers to let the air out. Side exhausts The air outlets behind the front wheels are bigger than before, but unusually, the massive exhausts come out at the sides, just below and to the rear of the doors. This arrangement leaves the rear of the underside of the car clear for an under tray and big diffusers to help keep the back end down at speed. Altogether a great looking car. With 600 bhp, the new car will rocket to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, which pushes the performance up with the hottest of s

Lamborghini Gallardo, Smaller, Lighter And Very Fast

Image
Lamborghini has gone against the trend with the Gallardo: it's smaller, and less powerful than the Murcielago, but is lighter and very fast. Top speed is 190 mph, and the car leaps forward from rest to 60 mph in about 4.0 seconds. 100 mph comes up in just 10 seconds! The power for this performance comes from a new all-aluminum V-10 engine coupled to a six-speed gearbox. Gallardo is a real traffic stopper, specially in the bright yellow used for the cars at the launch. Yes, it does have twin air intakes at the front, but these are cunningly shaped to break up the bluff front which slopes up smoothly to the windscreen. This is a beautifully proportioned car, with a wedge line for the wings that merge with the long, sloping roof. There are deep air intakes just forward of the rear wheels, and two smaller ones on the rear deck. Classic mid-engine shape To see it in its true glory you need to stand up and look down at the car which is probably what you'd do anyway. From this angle y

Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR

Image
Two amazingly sleek and powerful exotic cars, with 806 and 655 bhp! Humongous performance guaranteed Simplicity and elegance are hallmarks of the Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR exotic cars. Incredible performance, near the ultimate possible with current technology, is the trump card of the more powerful CCR: 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, and a standing quarter mile in just 9.0 seconds! Talk about neck snapping power. The shape of Koenigsegg CC8S and CCR is so simple, without all those big air intakes that lots of supercars need, that you wonder whether it works. Well, it does: the CCR, which is highly supercharged, has been timed at 241.9 mph at Nardo, which at the time made it the fastest production car in the world. This means its maximum speed is probably about 245 mph. Unfortunately for Koenigsegg, Bugatti raised the record to 248 mph with the Veyron, another very exotic car, just a few months later. Even so, Koenigsegg CCR broke some another record, when tested by Sportauto, the German magazine.

Daihatsu Ayla's Secret, Can Reach 23 Km Per Liter

Image
Astra Daihatsu Motor as the Daihatsu manufacturer claims the low cost Green Car (LCGC) can consume fuel consumption for one liter for a distance of 23 kilometers. This is also in accordance with the government's plan to issue two volumes of LCGC or Fuel Saving Motorized Vehicles. According to the Marketing Director of PT ADM, Amelia Tjandra, if Daihatsu LCGC is required to spend 1 liter of fuel consumption for a distance of 23 km, Daihatsu is able to meet that target. using CVT halitude can be achieved. To be able to add three kilometers, you can only use CVT. The application of CVT to LCGC cars is not difficult for Daihatsu. Because, Daihatsu also has several products that use CVT. But unfortunately until now it has not been stated when the Daihatsu LCGC, both Ayla and Sigra, was applied to CVT. Including how much the price increases. The plan, the second volume KBH2 program will require automotive manufacturers participating in the project to be able to use up fuel consumption wh
