AutoHangar appointed Lamborghini Dealer in Mumbai!
Before 2011 rolls over to 2012, Mumbai will give some space for the raging bulls from Italy to be showed off. That’s right, AutoHangar is the latest Lambo dealer for India and will set shop in late 2011 in Worli or some other location in south Bombay. While Exclusive Motors have been dealing with Lamborghini imports for India and have been handing the Delhi sales and service, AutoHangar will handle the sales and service at Mumbai.
If you’ve got a strange feeling of having heard the AutoHangar name before, you very well could have as AutoHangar has been Mumbai’s Mercedes Benz dealer for quite some time now. It looks like a trend of sorts this, with luxury car dealers now getting into supercars. Logical progression it may be as just yesterday, Infinity Motors, which runs BMW dealerships in Mumbai and Nagpur has just been appointed the official distributor for Aston Martin in India.
Meanwhile, Lamborghini has earmarked 8-10 units of it’s latest range topping supercar, the Aventador, specially for India and already there seems to be a scramble for these 4 Crore rupee supercars as AutoCarIndia reports. As we’ve said time and again, it appears that there is a huge pent up demand for luxury cars in India, which show no signs of slackening and the above phenomenon seems just like the tip of the iceberg.

New Volvo Diesel Engine More Powerful and Save Money
In Europe, diesel engines are now to be excellent. Almost all producers, from city cars to luxury, offering a diesel product. The reason, the modern diesel engine technology with "common rail" is more friendly to the environment, more efficient fuel consumption, engine sound which is no longer harsh and more subtle vibration. In addition, for treatment, not too complicated so that more practical and economical. Hence, more and more manufacturers to develop diesel engines with better capabilities.
One European manufacturer is aggressively develop a diesel engine is a Volvo. Last Swedish carmaker now owned by Geely, China, modify to increase the working capacity of the diesel engine used for the V70, XC70 and S60, the cylinder D5 engine, 5-cylinder turbo diesel and and D3. With this new engine, the fuel consumption of the Volvo S80 is fitted with a manual transmission system start / stop system, the fuel consumption (combined) - based on the European test standard - 4.9 liter/100 km or 20.4 km / liter. "Actually, the development in some parts of the machine that performed at the same time making the car more stable steered. Operational costs are also cheap / It took a while to determine and fix the small details for the machine work more efficiently, "says Derek Crabb, Vice President of Powertrain Engineering Volvo Cars.
Sequential Turbo
Before the developed again, D5 engine is considered as the best diesel engine in its class. Because this engine uses a twin-turbo technology, sequential (consecutive), glow plugs and fuel injectors ceramic piezo-electric. New features are developed in a twin-turbo engine is turbocharged with two different sizes, working in tandem to increase the power in the range of engine speed is greater. As a result, the engine became more responsive and powerful and more stable at high rotation speed up. Piezo electric injector technology makes the distribution of fuel into the combustion chamber more accurately. Meanwhile D3 engine that produces 183 PS power and 400 Nm of torque Vovlo introduced in S60 and V60 in 2010 essentially the same as D5. Just a shorter step so that the capacity down to 2.0 liters.
Both engines use the same injector, namely piezo-electric. With accuracy and high working pressure, the injector is working more effectively to produce combustion. Further, steady diesel-engined car at various speeds and speed up the spin machine. Other factors that also make it more powerful diesel engine, urbocharger used is the type of geometry that can change the alias VGT (variable geometry turbocharger). Angle leaves the turbine turbo vary according to engine speed or pressure released by the engine exhaust gas.
New Mitsubishi Pajero Sport with the VGT Engine
New Mitsubishi Pajero Sport new engine has a torque of 350 Nm at 1800-3500 rpm spin, higher than the previous torque impulse is just 320 Nm. However, this new machine will not replace the old machine. "Only an option for consumers who want big power," he said.
How to work VGT? At low and medium engine speed, the fins in the VGT engine automatically moves to close so that the exhaust gas passage narrows, causing the exhaust gas turbine to rotate faster. Meanwhile, the non-VGT turbo engine, exhaust gas volumes are very few moving into a wide hallway, so that the air velocity decreased and make the turbines spin more slowly. These conditions make the turbo work less than optimal. At high engine speed, exhaust gas volume will be solid, so that the VGT moving fins enlarged. This will reduce the exhaust back pressure and keep the turbine speed. VGT will optimize the performance of the turbine to achieve high torque at low speeds, and issue a maximum strength at high speeds, so it can produce great power, 178 PS at 4,000 RPM.
Lamborghini LP670-4 SuperVeloce Gets a Makeover
Supercars are good looking as standard, just the way they are when they leave the factory doors. For some of us however, that doesn't seem to be enough. The side effect of dullness may be this Chrome Purple Lamborghini LP670-4 SuperVeloce.
Perhaps not all Lamborghini owners chose to upgrade their car’s performance. The 670 horsepower that the V12 engine produces, accompanied by all-wheel drive and performance stats that are just mind-blowing, such as 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration in just 3.1 seconds and 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) in just 10 seconds time, may not represent aspects to take into consideration for some Lamborghini clients that are eager to spend some funds updating the Italian sportscar, but looks certainly sell. The car was produced in just 350 units, so it's very hard to grab one and modify it to personal aesthetic needs.
Supercars, since their existence on this Planet, were created to push boundaries forward and test the maximum capabilities of engineering. This Lamborghini however proves to push design limits and acceptance to a whole new level. As far as the bodywork is concerned, some serious changes were operated, starting with the paint scheme that is matte purple for one side to the other.
Other visual details that are extra from the standard version are the wheels, which now are ADV.1 Deep Concave ADv05 rims. The LP670-4 Chrome Purple SuperVeloce may become a trendsetter with this colored chrome foil wraps colour.
Chrome, gold, silver and big rims we’ve seen before, but a purple paint scheme is something rare and eccentric. This Lamborghini may easily be regarded as the pioneer of colored chrome foil supercars.
