2011 Ford GT is the latest Version of 2011 Ford. 2011 Ford GT way back in mid2000s the FORD GT is now getting to be a hybrid, 2011 Ford GT still weigh 500lb less than predecessor and it is available at starting price of $22,310.

The 2011 Ford Mustang GT arrives with an all-new 5.0-liter V-8 engine, developed by a passionate team of engineers who rallied around the common goal of delivering more than 400 horsepower along with best-in-class fuel economy and driving fun. 

2011 Ford GT offers a supercharged V8 paired with an electric motor driving the front wheels, not unlike the setup in the Porsche 918 RSR and its street-going version, the 918 Spyder. If these rumors prove true itll hit that target thanks to an all-aluminum chassis, composite body panels, and an aggressive diet. Most recent comes courtesy of Auto Express, which indicates this generation GT will weigh right around 3,000lbs. A 2011 Ford GT has massive 500 lighter than its predecessor in spite of this latest model apparently packing a hybrid system.

In Diesel engines, Opacity of a high level generally correlates closely with EGT.

Diesel engines are in operation often have high EGT, it will rapidly develop and culminate with Metal Fatigue cracks in the cylinder head, and others who eventually had to get off the machine for repair and the cost would have been expensive.

As well as some type of Normal aspirated Diesel engine with block construction that is not how robust, end up in trouble when fitted with the Turbo, especially if the turbo boost on the set is rather large.

Growing Trend High Pressure Injection System & Using Turbo For Standard Option of Vehicle Manufacturers: Along with the development trend of high pressure injection system and the use of Turbo and intercooled in modern Diesel engines, making the Power to Capacity ratio (the ratio of power to engine capacity) Diesel engine for the better, also more capable air supply when the engine in-Tune, also construction machinery that was already adjusted by the manufacturer to operate safely Turbo. Plus users will increasingly meningkatkanya awareness factor by installing EGT EGT meters in a modified diesel cars. Also with the increasing number of choices Diesel fuel quality or the number of non-subsidized diesel option and the choice of additive-additive Solar quality. By increasing the output specification diesel engines of today, more and better quality of lubricants, Trend Turbocharger & understanding of the factors EGT, then it should be things that are not desirable can be avoided and Diesel engines will be able to continue to operate well in a very very long time 

"zaZen" - Automotive enlightenment on four wheels - Revolutionary lighting technique and transparent hardtop at the Geneva Motor Show

February 28, 2006, will mark the world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show of the Rinspeed concept car, "zaZen", created by the famous Swiss designer, Frank M. Rinderknecht. It represents his vision of the car of the future and will be showcased as a kind of "automotive enlightenment" on four wheels. The vehicle was produced in cooperation with Bayer MaterialScience, one of the worlds largest plastics producers. It also embraces a technical revolution in car manufacture, with the transparent backlite being turned into a luminous holographic area. As if from nowhere, the third brake light shines out of what looks like a floating transparent hardtop.

The world premiere of the "zaZen", with its holographic brake lamp and smoothly contoured, transparent, one-piece roof dome made of high-tech Makrolon(R), marks the beginning of a new era in lighting technology in vehicle design. For Ian Paterson, who is responsible for innovation on the Board of Bayer MaterialScience, this novel lighting system represents a small step on the way to building the car of tomorrow: "Together with Rinspeed, our goal is to get people thinking about the car of the future. We contribute our high-quality materials and the combined creative know-how of our engineers."

The name of the new concept car - "zaZen" - has been carefully chosen by Rinderknecht: "After all, Zen - borrowed from Buddhist teaching - is a special form of perception: You only get there if you are prepared to give up preconceived ideas." Both partners went out of their way to emphasize that a concept car presented at a motor show can only be a snapshot taken from an unceasing development process. For example, the work on the switch-on/off transparency for three-dimensional forms is always ongoing.

The breathtakingly designed vehicle concept was born at the Swiss engineering specialists, Esoro, from one single vision and many imaginative ideas. The entire roof dome down to the belt line is made of Bayers transparent Makrolon(R) polycarbonate. A glass-clear elastic sealant from Revoflex AG has been used to achieve an optimum joint with the body. The striking hardtop is light in both senses of the word. Not only does it appear to float airily above the rather chunky body, it is also weighs many kilograms less than glass - not that it would be possible to make it from glass in the first place.

The lightness of the roof construction ties in with the surface coating of the "zaZen" - a white mineral shade based on the Bayer raw materials, Desmodur(R) and Desmophen(R). It is certainly not gaudy, but unassumingly beautiful through the millions of tiny precious Swarovski crystals protected by a self-healing polyurethane clear coat. This so-called "crystal skin" finish was developed and applied by the Austrian surface coating specialists, Karl Seelos. The Lesonal company was responsible for producing a perfect substrate. In a nutshell, the future driver can expect to find a muscular body in a sophisticated, tailored suit - a suit that has been given an exclusive touch though Swarovski trimmings on the front, side and rear lamps and the wheel rims. But the crystal manufacturer came up with a real masterpiece in the design of the seemingly never-ending 3D rear decorative panel.

The interior fittings of the "zaZen" are also dominated by this ethos of transparency and reduction to essentials, cleverly combined with strategically placed highlights. The transparent plastic seat shells of Makrolon(R) fitted with Technogel(R) upholstery were produced in cooperation with Recaro. A bright, friendly mango-orange color has been chosen for the rest of the leather/fabric interior trim. It was made by hand by Strähle & Hess, SC Schäfer, OesterleSLR and Sellner. Together with the Luoro Faia plantation wood - also in the dashboard area - it creates an interior that radiates warmth and relaxation.

The "zaZen", which weighs 1,495 kg, is powered by a 355 bhp 6-cylinder boxer engine from the Porsche 997 Carrera S. It has a top speed of 293 kph and accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in exactly 4.8 sec. Should the "zaZen" be built in a small series at some time in the future, Rinspeed will consider - in line with its tradition - offering it with an environmentally friendly natural gas propulsion system.

At 6,600 rpm, the engine has a maximum torque of 400 Nm, which is transmitted to the rear axle via a manual six-speed transmission. The necessary traction is provided by Dunlop tires with Touch Technology (245/30-20 at the front and 305/25-20 at the rear), mounted on lightweight Rinspeed five-spoke rims (8.5 x 20" at the front and 11 x 20" at the rear) made by CW Fahrzeugtechnik (Borbet Group).

The body - for which the molds were produced using Obomodulan(R) modeling foam - sits on a 4x adjustable chassis specially designed by KW automotive. Here, the designers have managed to perform the rare feat of creating an outstanding synthesis of drive comfort and sporty handling.

Another small work of art connected with the "zaZen" is currently taking shape in Berlin at the eyewear designers, "ic! berlin". The companys owner, Ralph Anderl, who also acted as the model during the photo shoot, was so taken by the new Rinspeed concept car that he designed an eyewear collection specifically to go with the car. Now you can not only drive the "zaZen", you can also wear it.
