Many car makers have been engaged 75 years selampa like Jaguar, but not many who have a legendary history both in terms of design and in the world of motor sports. Among the products that carry the title of Jaguar was among them: C-Type, D-Type, XJ220 and XK120.
He was born as Swallow Sidecars in 1935 with the SS100 products. Jaguar name chosen by the founder William Lyons Swallow Sidecars. Jaguar born with a combination of different tastes in an attractive design with extraordinary ability in his time.
Jaguars dominated the various categories of motorsport in the 1950s with a racing car C-Type and D-Type. Two models of this vehicle won some victories in the 24-hour endurance race of Le Mans in 1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957.
Victory was eventually followed by the legendary vehicle production E-Type with a design that generate a lot of people praise and still remains one of the most valuable cars in its time either on the floor until the current auction.
Not only that, since 1992 until 1994, Jaguar XJ220 became the fastest production vehicles in the streets, stealing the title from the Bugatti EB 110. Honor was earned at the Nardo Ring, Italy, with a speed that could touch the figure of more than 349 km / hour.
Although the twin-engine turbo V6 its 542hp power, but the Jaguar XJ220 berpenggerak rear wheel like the concept of presenting performance V12 engine driving bersistem all-wheel drive and been recorded in the record books, although that position finally evicted by the McLaren F1 and Koenigsegg CCR, Bugatti Veyron and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
Under kepemiklikan Ford, Jaguar participate in Formula 1 since the year 2000-until 2004. Although no success. They really help to improve career bebrapa famous drivers like Mark Webber, Eddie Irvine, Pedro de La Rosa and Christian Klien.
A new sports car prototype mid-engine (engine in the middle) from Turkey which he said, promising an abundance of power packed in a lightweight fabric material. Dr. Onuk signal design this car for his son, Kaan 'Sazan' Onuk, an engineering student who died in a car accident in 1996.
Sasisnya using carbon fiber material, consequently the weight of these vehicles under 1.000kg, and said Onuk weight could be reduced up to 920kg. Berpenggerak sports car called the rear wheels are Onuk Sazan, will be produced only 5 units each year.
So far, prototypes have been built using the LS7 Corvette engine that produces 512hp with 635Nm of torque achieved. Machine then mated with the manual transmission 5-speed. Sangup reached speeds up to 300km/jam.
In addition, these vehicles can also use the engine turbocharger 3.5 liter Nissan VQ34DE powered 485hp, 588Nm torque strength and paired with the 6012 gearbox XTRAC has 6 levels of speed.
Dr. Onuk himself is the owner of the boat manufacturer YONCA ONUK. And at this company car will be produced Onuk Sazan. This sport-utility vehicles will be sold at a price of 200,000 Euros.
The all new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was first introduced in the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and labeled as Prototype X. Fans around the world loved the new styling cues that were both aggressive and functional in a more upscale factory built appearance. The new design is fantastically elegant for a high performance rally car. Mitsubishi was also able to refine the handling, tweak the suspension and add an amazing new gearbox called the Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission to create a package that blows away the previous generation model. The all new Evo is better both inside and out and brings to the table a performance package that can take on a Porsche 911 at half the cost.
The exterior design of the Lancer Evolution MR is what makes it truly so unique and a real stand out among a crowded lot of performance packed sedans. A shark like front end gives it a aggressive stance while the large rear spoiler and aggressive side bodywork clearly sends a message that this was made for a bigger purpose then just driving to work. For 2008, the Evo comes in two versions known as the GSR or the MR. There are some slight, but important, differences between the two Lancer Evolution models that buyers should be aware of. Both the GSR and MR feature the 2.0 liter turbocharged engine producing 300 horsepower. However, the MR comes with the incredible dual clutch automatic transmission that shifts like a formula one machine and features magnesium paddle shifters that look and feel like those found in a Ferrari. The MR model also comes with Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs and BBS 18 inch aluminum alloy wheels. You also get HID headlamps and the large rear spoiler.
On the all new Lancer Evolution, Mitsubishi decided to use aluminum throughout the vehicle to save on weight which increases performance. The roof panel, front fenders and vents, and the front hood are all aluminum. You can really tell the difference in weight by just lifting the hood itself. Better weight distribution was also achieved by putting the washer fluid and battery on top of the rear axle in the trunk. Aggressive BBS forged aluminum alloy wheels look amazing and also weigh less then other counterparts. They are wrapped in P245/40R 18-inch Yokohama ADVAN performance tires that stick like glue during aggressive driving.
The overall length of the Lancer Evolution stands at 177 inches with a width of 71.3 inches. Wheelbase is 104.3 inches and ground clearance is fairly low at 5.3 inches. The proportions appear perfectly designed and built in performance features such as the radiator in the front bumper and large intake ports around the bumper and front hood as well as front fender all are functional.
The interior is clean and functional with greater use of high quality parts then in the previous generation. The overall design theme inside is sporty yet simplified, just like a race car. Door panels feature leather grained plastic trim, a painted grey large trim panel, and leather covered arm rests. Smooth plastic is used around the window switches and there is ample storage room for a bottle and some papers. The dash is simple and clean with a large navigation display and automatic climate control knobs. The instrument cluster is sporty with dual gauges and a information screen in the center. Everything is within reach and comfortable for the average person. Interior room is fairly compact if you fit the maximum number of five passengers. Front legroom is listed at 42.5 inches with front headroom being 37 inches. Rear legroom is a short 33.3 inches.
Front seats are inspired from actual racing cars and made by Recaro, a brand long known in the racing world. These sport seats provide more than enough bolstering and are quite comfortable even on long trips. Large thigh and shoulder bolsters not only look amazing but also hold you tightly in place when you decide to whip around corners. We liked the leather and suede dual pattern upholstery. Rear seats also feature this same dual use of materials and are angled nicely for a comfortable ride. We would have liked grab handles on all doors so there is something to hold onto while the driver is going through curves. Roof and A pillar materials are very low quality and should be changed.
The long list of standard interior equipment gives you a vehicle that is easy to live with on a daily basis. Bluetooth handsfree phone pairing is easy to setup on the Mitsubishi Multi Communication System located on the dash. A great Rockford Fosgate stereo system features 650 watts of power and has a 30 GB hard drive built-in. It also features a touch screen navigation system and a music server to store all your songs on to. Sirius satellite radio, along with DVD capability gives you more than enough listening choices. An auxiliary input jack is located in the unit as well but the unit must be tilted outward to reveal it. A 10-inch subwoofer along with nine speakers gives the Evolution MX so much power that you can shake the whole block and have a street party. A convenient keyless system lets you keep the key fob in your pocket to turn on the car. You can also lock and unlock the car by touching a button on the door handle. The climate control system features a micron filter for clean air and worked well heating the car quickly during our 35 degree days. Powerful HID lights with a leveling feature that you can manually adjust were very bright and illuminated the back country roads nicely. The EVO also comes with fog lamps which did a great job in brightening up the sides of the road.
The navigation system was quick and easy to use with some excellent features like points of interest that searched based on your immediate location or zip code. A return trip button also makes it easy to come back without having to input the address again. The screen was not very bright in direct sunlight however. The small information screen in the instrument cluster shows trip computer information which is also visible on the main navigation screen. There is also a lap timer for those wanting to test their driving skills on a race track. Other cool features are the altimeter, barometer, and history charts of these statistics over a three hour period and these graphs can also be found for your fuel economy which really goes down when you are driving at redline. It’s really a small computer embedded in the heart of the Evolution and it’s great to have all this information for your personal use. We are finally starting to see auto manufacturers providing drivers with more vehicle and performance data which was once only available to race teams.
The interior experience is heightened by the large sporty steering wheel and shift knob all wrapped in soft leather. Controls on the wheel for stereo volume and cruise control as well as phone functions are easy to use as are the large magnesium paddle shifters located just behind the steering wheel on both sides. What could be improved inside you may ask? Well, dimming rear view mirrors make night driving much easier and should be standard for a car in this price range. Better quality window buttons with a function for automatic up and down would be great. A textured cloth material on the roof would greatly change the interior feel. Finally, more insulation to reduce highway noise would be great.
The 2008 Lancer EVO MR features a 2.0 liter four cylinder turbocharged and intercooled engine which produces 291 horsepower at 6500 RPM. Torque is rated at 300 lb. ft. at 4000 rpm. Mitsubishi’s 4B11 engine has one of the highest power-to-displacement ratios of any production four cylinder engine in the world. Both the engine block and cylinder heads are aluminum which leads to considerable weight savings. Redline is at an impressive 7000 RPM and the power is always available thanks to the turbocharger. The amount of power produced relative to the small size of the engine is a great achievement.
The use of german suspension parts makes for a comfortable yet very sporty ride. The front suspension comprises of a MacPherson type strut with forged aluminum control arms including Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs. Rears suspension is a multi-link setup also with forged aluminum control arms. Brembo disc brakes, a world renowned brake maker found on many high end European vehicles, with ABS and brake force distribution give amazing stopping power. Brakes are a ventilated two piece disc with 4-piston calipers that are painted in red to stand out. Front Brakes are 13.8 inches in diameter and the rears are 13 inches.
Further body rigidity comes from a front strut tower bar that provides very minimal body lean. Front and rear stabilizer bars also help in providing a very solid and controlled road feel. The Super All-Wheel Control system (S-AWC) brings together the front helical limited slip differential, the active center differential, and active yaw control, along with the rear limited slip differential to give power where its needed as you are driving. A display of the S-AWC in the instrument cluster shows you how the system is working as you accelerate and go through fast corners. There is certainly lots of grip and lots of power. This all-wheel drive system is particularly effective during high speed off-road driving and Mitsubishi has certainly won their share of World Rally titles thanks to this all-wheel drive system.
The twin clutch Sportronic transmission is a engineering marvel and makes driving very enjoyable. Shifts are super fast and happen in milliseconds which no human could replicate with a standard gearbox. The system can be set to normal mode, sport mode, or super sport mode. As you change modes from normal to sport, RPM’s are kept at a higher range, while in super sport mode, the vehicle stays in gear until redline is reached in each and every gear. The transmission also blips as it downshifts just like a race car driver would do to match RPMs. The sound of the exhaust as this happens is just amazing and puts a smile on your face every time it happens. The system is similar to Audi’s DSG and Porsche’s PDK transmissions and is a must have on the Evolution MX.
Safety was a major concern for Mitsubishi when creating the all new Lancer Evolution. There are a total of seven airbags to help survive in case you decide to drive off the side of a cliff like your favorite rally driver. Dual front air bags, side air bags on both seats, and side curtain airbags as well as drivers side knee airbag keep you very safe. A tire pressure monitor is also standard along with Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
The basic bumper to bumper warranty is for 3-year or 36,000 mile. The powertrain is covered for 5-years or 60,000 miles. An anti-corrosion warranty of 7 years or 100,000 miles rounds it all out. Roadside assistance is provided for 5-years. The engine is from Japan while the transmission is from Germany. The final assembly point is Mizushima, Japan. About 85% of all the parts are from Japan.
The lancer starts off at a MSRP of $38,290. The only option added was a technology package for $2,550 which adds the 30GB hard drive navigation system with music server and CD/MP3/DVD player, a 650 Watt Rockford Fosgate premium sound system with 9-speakers and the 10 inch subwoofer, as well as the Sirius satellite radio. A destination charge of $675 brings our total to $41,515 for the Lancer Evolution MX model. Our window sticker shows fuel economy at 17 miles per gallon city and 22 miles per gallon on the highway although with sporty driving we achieved about 17 miles per gallon overall.
The 2008 Lancer Evolution MX is a fantastic drivers car that offers true race car performance without the six figure price tag. Because of its extreme driving capabilities, most people will be reluctant to purchase the EVO unless they are die-hard racing fans and don’t have a family to tow along. This leaves the market to single males who are either young and rich or middle aged with an second car which they use as their daily driver. Despite the small size of potential buyers, the EVO certainly has a strong fan following and a long tradition of racing achievements. The 2008 EVO is both powerful and stylish and has the ability to take on the best supercars in the world. It also has the ability to stand out in a crowed parking lot. The all new Lancer Evolution features a host of impressive racing technologies that many people would normally buy as aftermarket add-ons for their cars. The EVO is a niche vehicle that is purposefully built to be a street legal race car. It’s a compelling buy and a truly well-made sports car which will always have a place in the marketplace.
The Good : Hot exterior looks. Dual clutch transmission. Turbocharged 300 hp engine. Hood, fender and roof made of aluminum along with BBS wheels. Thick steering wheel with magnesium paddle shifters. Touchscreen Nav with 650 watt sound system.
In the United States, more people probably recognize Suzuki for their motorcycles and ATVs then they do for their automobiles. Suzuki has always filled a niche market here in the states and has never really broken into the mainstream car market that is dominated by bigger Japanese brands such as Toyota, Honda , Nissan and Mazda. Perhaps this has to do with the tremendous resources one needs to make special cars just for the American market, or perhaps Suzuki figured they would stick to what they do best which is to focus on small engine products.
By sticking to what they do best, Suzuki has captured a special place in the recreation market with their wide range of products from motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and even marine engines. Many of us are more familiar with their outstanding sport bikes such as the powerful Hayabusa or the GSX line. Others recognize their superiority in off-road dirt bikes and ATVs such as the KingQuad. However, mention SX4 or XL7 and they won’t have clue as to what you’re referring to.
Suzuki recognized this dilemma and asked their automobile dealers what product they would most like to see in their showrooms. The overwhelming response was a pickup truck. The thinking being that all the loyal fans of the Hayabusa, GSX, KingQuad and all of their other recreational vehicles would use a Suzuki made pickup truck to transport their toys. Sounds like a good plan to us, but how could a small car manufacturer jump into the truck market without taking out billions of dollars in loans to build a completely new truck factory? The answer lies in outsourcing.
The Suzuki Equator is a joint effort with Nissan and shares the majority of its parts and design with the familiar Nissan Frontier. Suzuki basically took a truck already in the market and stuck their name badge all over it. This was the quickest and cleanest way to get a truck into their product lineup to fill the needs of their dealers who were tired of seeing their friends down the street making more money selling boatloads of dirt bikes while they were stuck peddling a small car such as the SX4. The 2009 Equator is an impressive and well-made truck that fits the Suzuki product lineup very nicely and will surely bring some needed traffic into dealer showrooms.
“Suzuki offers a range of highly capable, value-packed vehicles that combine attractive exterior and interior styling with the performance and functionality requirements to meet some of the most demanding needs of American car buyers,” said Mark Harano, executive vice president, American Suzuki Automotive Operations. “With the arrival of the all-new Equator pickup truck, a natural fit with Suzuki’s off-road heritage and lifestyle-driven DNA, we’re extremely excited about the forthcoming 2009 model year.”
The Suzuki Equator is built in Nissan’s Smyrna, Tennessee plant and available in both Extended Cab or the four door Crew Cab style. The Equator is rear wheel drive with the option for 4-wheel drive. We tested the Crew Cab Sport model, which was rear wheel drive and featured the 4.0 Liter V6 engine. The standard base engine is a 2.5 liter inline four-cylinder. While our truck had the short five-foot bed, there is an option for a longer six-foot bed configuration as well.
The base model Equator Extended Cab starts off at $17,995 and comes with a five-speed manual transmission and 4-cyclinder engine. We highly recommend buyers stick with the Sport model which has the five-speed automatic transmission and the more powerful and smooth V6 engine along with other comfort amenities.
If you prefer the 4-door Crew Cab style, you will be happy to know that it comes only with the V6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The Crew Cab Base model with 2WD starts at $23,985, while the Crew Cab Sport, which adds aluminum alloy wheels, cruise control and power windows and door locks, starts out at $25,150 for 2WD and $28,095 for 4WD models. If you enjoy off-roading, Suzuki offers the top of the line RMZ-4 model that features Dana 44 axles, electric rear locking differential, Bilstein high-performance shocks, skid plates, BFGoodrich Rugged Trail P265/75R16 tires and other trim upgrades. The Equator Crew Cab RMZ-4 carries a starting MSRP of $29,325.
The Equator is attractively styled with a prominent front end that has a large bold grill that features a large chrome Suzuki “S” badge in the center. A chrome border that adds an upscale look surrounds the center grill. The one-piece jewel-faceted headlamps blend into the center grill and feature a large halogen lamp with smaller circular signal lamps surrounding it. Below the grill is a large silver painted skid plate which helps protect the underside when going off-road. The side profile features very large fender flares that give the Equator its muscular look. The sharp looking alloy wheels are wrapped in husky P265/65R17 BFGoodrich tires.
The overall length of the truck is 206.6 inches with a width of 72.8 inches and height of 70.1. It’s a well-proportioned truck that looks really sharp on the road. As you approach the rear you immediately notice the cargo bed area that has both a sprayed on bedliner and a track type tie-down rail system with four cleats that are easily movable to secure your gear. This is very useful to have on a truck and Suzuki was kind enough to include this as standard equipment. The Equator also comes with tinted privacy glass on the rear windows and dual powered rearview mirrors.
The Equator is a capable truck and strongly built with a fully boxed ladder frame and a body-on-frame construction. The boxed frame helps increase strength and reduce body flexibility which helps improve road-handling and towing characteristics. The Equator can also handle most off-road situations with up to 32.6 degree angle of approach and up to 23.3 degree angle of departure. There is even 10 inches of ground clearance at the rear differential.
The interior of the Equator is refreshingly nice and straightforward. The clean uncultured appearance is a good change from what most pickup truck owners are used to. The tilt steering wheel has cruise control switches mounted on the right side and felt good and well proportioned. The instrument cluster features two large dials for engine RPM and speed with built-in digital message displays. The center display features a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system that is basic and easy to use. Below this is the climate control system that has two large dials on the outside of the four air direction control switches. The system worked well heating the vehicle during our freezing 20-degree test days. The cloth bucket seats up front are fairly comfortable and provided good lumbar support however their bottom cushion could be made larger for more comfort. The front passenger seat can fold down flat to increase interior storage room while the rear seats are 60/40 split with a flip up bottom cushion. Everything was very straightforward and intuitive to use. Doors lack a good grab handle from the inside as the area to grab is placed near the outer edge of the doors. The Equator also comes with power windows, power door locks and power rear view mirrors as standard equipment. The interior is fairly roomy with plenty of leg and headroom even for second row passengers. Front legroom is 42.4 inches with rear being 33.6 inches. There are 58.3 inches of shoulder room and 40 inches of headroom front and back.
Our Equator Crew Cab Sport came with an aluminum 4.0 liter, 24-valve DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing. Horsepower is rated at 261 at 5600 rpm with 281 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. We liked the feel of the engine which had strong pull and never lagged even when pressing down on the pedal at top speed. In fact, the Equator handled so well during highway driving that we almost forgot we were driving a truck. The engine was smooth and quite and felt stronger than its 261 horsepower rating. The five speed automatic transmission also performed flawlessly with smooth shifts. The system also kept the right gear engaged depending on how we were driving. Stopping power is superb thanks to the four wheel vented disc brakes that handily stopped the Equator even during abrupt stops on wet roads. The four-wheel anti-lock brakes also come with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) that increases braking performance when you most need it. The overall handling performance of the Suzuki Equator was fantastic and a huge improvement over pickup trucks from just a few years ago.
The Equator comes with so many life saving safety features that it’s hard to believe how far trucks have really come. There are driver and front passenger dual-stage airbags with roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags. There is also a tire pressure monitoring system that notifies you if a tire is deflating. The vehicle also has an energy-absorbing steering column with front and rear crumple zones. Suzuki has an incredible 7-year or 100,000 mile powertrain warranty that is fully transferable.
The Equator is a well made truck and the small additions that Suzuki added are a nice welcome over the Nissan Frontier. While the Equator will fill the immediate need of dealers who recognize that it’s easier to sell a truck then a car, we highly disapprove of private labeling other manufacturer’s vehicles. We understand that many consumer products are made this way, with China producing every imaginable item and scores of U.S. companies happily private labeling their goods. While it may work for pillows, bathroom fixtures and car floor mats, we don’t think it works in the car market.
Just look at what GM did to all the companies it acquired from Saab, Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac; Eventually all their products starting to look the same and each brand which was once very unique and exciting, is now fading into a miserable death spiral. Let’s be clear about one thing, people want cars that are unique and that express their own sense of being. When everything becomes homogenized, people turn to other brands that still have a sense of what they stand for. Suzuki has stood for something different with its unique styling and own brand identity. If they try to take the easy way out by private labeling their cars they won’t stand a chance in this competitive and cut-throat market. However if they create their own unique product that stands for what they are, they will continue to increase market share and also retain their existing base.
