Car Today

A few days ago we showed his sketches, yesterday was the turn of the final photos issued by Honda and today, thanks to the valuable work that James Gasperotti has done for us in London, will show live pictures of the prototype MDGs, initials that simply means “Open Study Model.

The Honda MDGs is a prototype of spiders two places dry on paper that promises a mass dry very low (and therefore a character from real peperino, if it were to be produced) and special attention to the environment. The roadster presented in the capital in fact, continues ideally undertaken by the speech in Tokyo from 2007 Honda CR-Z, coupe concept of hybrid propulsion.

For her, at the time, it is not satisfied series production, but even if positive, will not be the MDGs to replace the extreme S2000. Menomale, we would like to add. Would you like because London is not Paris or Frankfurt, either because… well, there are excuses: Open Study Model has not forms that are shouting to the miracle. On the contrary, the impression is that this time the designers c’abbiano not taken, nor on the proportions (less than dynamic…) nor on whether somatic. Too bad because the theme that have chosen to deal could give life to outcomes much more exciting.

Honda car has presented in London the concept MDGs (Open Study Model), returning to a subject very dear to the English public a small spider essential, sports and simple. Although Honda has avoided any reference, this concept seems to draw from near the CR-Z, coupe hybrid already smell of series production.

Designed by German Honda headquarters in Germany, wants to show the MDGs can be attractive as a friend of the environment, with low emissions without sacrificing the driving pleasure. These statements confirm the hypothesis of kinship with the CR-Z, even if no technical data was widespread. The production in series, unfortunately, is not currently planned.

Italians good people, Italians from the heart of gold. Italians, however, far from being accustomed to sportsmanship or, at least, is what I think Honda car. As explained, otherwise, the desire to achieve this special based on Type S with diesel engine? The VTEC, assured, we like yet. The Japanese manufacturer realizes for our market a special series of Civic, called Fireblade Replication, and inspired by the millona in Tokyo.

The changes are aimed at aesthetic, as the adoption of new extractors front and rear, as well as circles alloy 18-inch matte finish. The colors for the exterior, however, are only three: black, red and silver.

The differences are concentrated in the front, turned more and bombato, while the rear view is very similar: the needs of aerodynamics. But, ironically, the prototype will not be the third generation of Toyota Prius, but his main opponent, and the first double engine sold in the U.S. market the Honda car Insight..

According to Left Lane, there will still 1.3 Integrated Motor Assist the Civic Hybid to push this new sedan, while no mention is reserved for batteries. However, according to the inevitable rumors, consumption should reach the threshold of 71 miles per gallon, or just over 30 km with a litre. His debut is expected to Paris salon while, as estimated by the Japanese house, sales should remain well to 200,000 copies annually.

All’ormai imminent Exhibition in London, which will open its doors July 22, the Japanese Honda will bring a new concept car, called Open Study Model or, more briefly, the mags.

The car you see in this very first sketch will be a spider with two bucket seats and a total mass much contained. Performance and fun to sell, then (if only to be produced), but not alone.

The mags will not forget the environment, indeed, attention to the ecology will be one of his tricks up its sleeve. Designed in research and development center German Offenbach, the mags will continue speech undertaken by the concept CR-Z Tokyo 2007, a coupe, which is precisely conjugative a strong environmental consciousness with a piglet’s sportively.

When the Japanese promise one thing you can rest assured that the will. With a stubborn which is almost smile on his integrity by samurai, Japanese engineers of Honda that few days ago had threatened colleagues (fellow obviously) Nissan and Lexus, have made good on historical lena asphalt to cut dell’Eifel second with prototypes of NSX.

The objective, manco to say, is that GT-R still never seen on our roads, but already famously to the public web for the war that has triggered (unilaterally) in terms of “time to Nürburgring” against European opponents. Not that first we do not speak, but this story has slowly assumed the contours of a real tormentone.

Who makes the aspects, one might therefore conclude: after rows created around those winds and passes miles of green hell, we seemed that someone (maybe just a team of engineers solerti with almond eyes) did not want to demonstrate that you can do better? In fact, so it was.

Going forward with this pace is likely to lead to the farce: pass the record, marketing and subsequent ingigantimento dell’ego, but “limit” a car to an aseptic number seems rather excessive. However, we admit, they titanic us passionate. And not little. Takeo Fukui, Honda managing director, recently magnificato the Nsx, both to predict a time at Nurburgring much lower than the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus LF-A. The projections for the current challenges facing the new Japanese coupe a propeller ten cylinders, put into place earlier, from 5.5 liters engine capacity for 550 horses (and about 570 Nm of torque), derived from next V8 the Acura RL. In addition, changing to eight reports, wheel drive evolution of Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive and the aluminium chassis will be essential to break the wall of 7 minutes and 24.

Runs fast evolution of the global car market: India, a state that is progressing prepotentemente powers between the car of the globe, will soon encounter the attack of hybrid cars, just as has happened in recent years on the markets more “advanced” .

Will be the Japanese Honda to make the first bet the car dual power in the Asian country, offering their Civic Hybrid (already sold 210,000 copies since 2001) and thus beating their eternal rivals Toyota. The two biggest Japanese houses are confirmed once again at the growing market for environmentally friendly cars.

The announcement of Honda, reported today by Reuters, talks about marketing in a very short time: the beginning of sales is scheduled for the end even months, the price-rather salty-will be just over 50,000 U.S. dollars.
