Added, with the advent of Aqua, Japanese consumers will get various choices of hybrid cars are increasingly diverse and increasingly affordable prices.
Gasoline Engine
Gasoline engine used Aqua capacity 1.5 liter (1.8-liter Prius) and uses the same hybrid technology with the Prius (THSII). As seniors, the gasoline engine also utilizes Aqua Atiknson cycle so that the higher the efficiency of its work (the eventual goal fuel economy).
So that the higher the engine work again, used to cool the coolant pump is driven by a battery (electric pump). With this, the loss of the rubber belt does not exist. In addition, the cooling air flow control precision.
Performance
Because the gasoline engine is smaller, then transaksel hybrid, the control unit recruitment, motor power and motor cars were smaller and more lightweight.
Aqua acceleration 0-100 km per jama in 10.7 seconds, while from 40 miles per hour to 70 miles per hour takes 3.6 seconds with a 4.8-meter turning radius.
Completeness of other woods Aqua is Antilock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Moreover, Vehicle Stability Control (VHC), serves menggatur brake job, engine power output and stability when a car "skidding". There is also traction control (TC) or traction control to prevent cars spin when the car accelerated from rest.
No less interesting, Toyota also includes Hill-start Assistent Control to prevent the car back on the ramp when it will run from a stop condition. Furthermore, in order to keep working while AC engine off, compression is driven by an electric motor or rely on energy from the battery

BMW Develops Laser Light for Headlights
BMW Develops Laser Light for Headlights
For i8
Safe!
Diode 10 micro-
170 Lumen per Watt
At the Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) are used in a small proportion of new luxury cars for headlights, lighting technology for motor vehicles are considered to be superior to it, was ready also introduced. Lighting or lighting technology is considered to be very great car it is a laser beam.
Car companies that claim to have developed berhasilkan headlights type of laser is Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW). And now BMW still boasts LED technology headlamps used on Series-6 with features, namely "Anti-Dazzle High Beam Assistan" (anti-glare) and "Dynamic Light Spot", the lights can be automatically marked Penjalan feet appropriately and help direct the driver.
BMW said the technology as a laser beam headlamps can be exploited in the next few years. Even to say, one of the sub-model BMW brand, the i8 to be produced in 2014 is estimated to be able to use headlights with teknologio this laser.
Described, the laser light can meet all requirements and facility functions headlights a more secure and comfortable plus energy efficiency is much better.
By definition, the laser light is very different from the sun and also from various types of artificial or artificial light that is commonly used today. Laser light is monochromatic type, which means all the light waves of equal length. In addition, also known as the light source "coherent" which means a constant phase difference wave.
As a result, the laser produces a beam of parallel adjacent to the intensity of a thousand times more powerful than conventional LED lights. Characteristics like these can add new features when used for the headlights. In addition, with a very high light efficiency, when used for the headlights, the energy required is only half of the LED lights. Means of laser light is very energy efficient!
Safe!
The intensity of the laser beam for the headlights, is said by the insinyyr BMW will not pose a risk to living beings, namely humans and animals. Because the laser beam is fired directly into the street or in the future. In the bulb, the laser beam first amended in accordance with the needs of the traffic light on the highway. The resulting light said to be very bright, white and pleasing to the eye.
Further, a safe laser illumination technology is now used on a variety of products without the knowledge of the user. Therefore, this laser light will not cause problems when later used.
Diode 10 micro-
The important implication is the size diodenya laser technology. The length is only 10mikro (μm), which means it can be made up to one hundredth of times smaller than the cell size of a conventional LED lamp with a side length of one millimeter. With this addition, it allows all the light sources can be put together.
With regard to the size, the BMW engineers have not had a radical plan to reduce the size of the headlamps, although it is theoretically possible. BMW is most likely to be appropriate to maintain the dimensions and surface area of conventional lamps. The goal is to maintain the appearance of the BMW line with his trademark over the years. Just described, can be reduced into the lamp or lamps may be mounted on the front part of the car body.
170 Lumen per Watt
Another advantage of laser light is high efficiency. According to BMW, based on a single statistic, LED lighting produces only 100 lumens per Watt, while the laser light 170 lumens. The last factor is what makes BMW very bergairahkan use headlights with laser technology.
To be used for daily necessities and also safe for living things, before the beam from the laser diode is released to the streets of small, light bluish-biruannya changed first. To that end, in the gas-filled bulb fluorescent phosophor. The result, white light dihasilskan be clean, bright and not hurt the eyes.
Planned, in the future, BMW will use a laser headlamps with features such as now, namely "Adaptive Headlight", "Dynamic Light Spot" and "Anti-Dazzle High Beam Assist". Posts of!

Lhamborghini
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.,[Notes 1] commonly referred to as Lamborghini (pronounced [lamborˈgiːni] ( listen)), is an Italian automaker. The company was founded by manufacturing magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, with the objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with established offerings from marques like Ferrari.
The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s, and were noted for their refinement, power, and comfort. Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established mid-engine design as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era. After a decade of rapid growth, hard times befell the company in the mid-1970s, as sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 world financial downturn and oil crisis. After going through bankruptcy and three changes in ownership, Lamborghini came under the corporate umbrella of the Chrysler Corporation in 1987. The American company failed to return the automaker to profitability and sold it to Indonesian interests in 1994. Lamborghini's lack of success continued through the 1990s, until the company was sold in 1998 to Audi, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, a German automotive concern. Audi's ownership marked the beginning of a period of stability and increased productivity for Lamborghini, with sales increasing nearly tenfold over the course of the 2000s, peaking in record sales in 2007 and 2008. The world financial crisis in the late 2000s negatively affected luxury car makers worldwide, and saw Lamborghini's sales drop back to pre-2006 levels.
Assembly of Lamborghini cars continues to take place at the automaker's ancestral home in Sant'Agata Bolognese, where engine and automobile production lines run side-by-side at the company's single factory. Fewer than 3,000 cars roll off the production line each year. The company currently offers two variations of a single model, the V10-powered Gallardo coupé and roadster. The flagship V12-powered Murciélago coupé and roadster were discontinued at the end of 2010, with a successor expected in 2011.
