The slip-dependent wheel-drive system improves handling by constantly for optimum torque distribution between front and rear axle provides. Monitored for the intelligent control unit of the system, the road conditions and analyzes the signals obtained. As a result, Dynamax anticipate changes in driving conditions and without delay provide the necessary traction in the right place for disposal.

Another advantage of the Dynamax system is the increased side stability in curves: Undesirable traction forces on the front and rear axles are reduced, thereby inadvertently over-or understeer of the vehicle is prevented.

Mitsubishi Outlander The Calm Before The Strom





There is not in his sedan that Mitsubishi intends to make the household, as the Japanese manufacturer also includes a complete overhaul of its Outlander SUV in 2013. It appears, for the moment, a figure both simple and elegant. In contrast, the interior lacks personality and comfort.

The Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is specially designed for adventurers, because in addition to providing a towing capacity of 3500 lbs, it ranks among the vehicles most reliable, secure and robust in its class. It comes in four versions – ES 2WD, 4WD ES, LS and XLS 4WD S-AWC – whose base price ranges from $ 27,895 and $ 37,095. Certainly, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 does perhaps not all technologies and accessories than its rivals, but off the beaten path, it is by far the most versatile compact SUVs currently available on the market.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2013

Two heads are better than one Mitsubishi Outlander 2013


In its basic version, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine of 2.4 liters. The power of the latter amounts to 168 horsepower and 167 foot-pounds of torque. It allows the SUV of the Japanese manufacturer from 0-100 in 9.8 seconds, a respectable performance considering the fact that it is coupled to a transmission CVt series. Despite its 1700 kg, the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013, when equipped with the 4-cylinder engine, a fuel consumption of 9.1 L/100km average in city and 7.0L/100km on the highway.

The LS and XLS benefit for their 3.0-liter V6 developing 230 horsepower and 215 foot-pounds of torque. This is mated to a 6-speed automatic, which allows him to subtract one second compared to the 0-100 4-cylinder engine. Equipped with the V6, Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 shows a consumption of 11.0L/100km city and 7.9L/100km on the highway, which is better than average.

Despite the fact that the Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 is not as trendy as these rivals, it offers a very spacious cockpit. In addition, it is one of the only SUV market to offer a full control of the traction that lets you choose between three modes.

The Mitsubishi Outlander 2013 does not fit in style with the elegant silhouette, alloy wheels and 18-inch aluminum roof panel. However, when we look at the overall design, we understand the reasons why Mitsubishi Outlander will present a new for 2013.

Hyundai Elantra GT is one handsome hatch

When you intend to go up against cars like the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Mazda3, it doesnt matter how softly or loudly you speak, your stick had better be impressive. Hyundai believes it has just the thing in the 2013 Elantra GT, which is the updated moniker for the Elantra Touring (and a throwback to five-door Elantras of yore).

The GT is the U.S. version of the European i30, and its quite a looker if youre a fan of Hyundais Fluidic Sculpture design language. Under the hood, youll find the same 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder as the sedan, sending 148 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque to the ground via either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. That puts it in the thick of a competitive set that, for Hyundai, also includes the Subaru Impreza and Toyota Matrix, but gives it the best power-to-weight ratio of them all. Thats because the Elantra GT is 57 percent ultra high- and high-tensile steel, which helps keep its weight down to a lightest-in-segment 2,784 pounds when equipped with the automatic transmission.

Fuel economy is the beneficiary, with the automaker estimating an EPA rating of 28 miles per gallon in the city and 39 mpg on the highway (32 combined). Hyundai says this is good for a cruising range up to 448 miles.

Driving pleasure will be attended to with a sport-tuned suspension that uses MacPherson struts up front aided by a stabilizer bar, and a torsion bar setup out back. The real pleasures, though, are claimed on the inside, where the Elantra GT is said to provide more cargo room than the aforementioned competition and even the Nissan Juke. The mod-cons are prodigious and include, as standard, a cooled glovebox, heated front seats, 10-way power drivers seat, leather seating surfaces, automatic headlights, Bluetooth and seven airbags.

The 2013 Elantra GT goes on sale this summer. Have a read of the press release after the jump and stay tuned for live pics from our team at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.

Chevrolet Sonic





What does late night driving, haunted houses and limericks have in common? If youre from Louisville Kentucky then you know its the annual Danger Run that takes places all over the Louisville Metro area.


You and your friends pile into the car, youre given a set of instructions in the form of limericks and youre sent out to find your way to haunted sites all over Louisville. The goal of the contest is to match your driving mileage precisely to the route laid out in the limerick hand book. Other than a frightful night with friends I was given the chance to test drive the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. What better way to test it than a challenge that tests man and machine in such an eccentric way?


What makes a perfect Danger Run car? Personally I think it comes down to five things: comfort, storage space, quickness, turning circle and ease of parking. These five things are extremely important if you want to have a successful night. They are also five important aspects of any subcompact.



My initial fear when it came to the Sonic was whether or not I could fit four adults into what seemed like a small cabin. Luckily four people and their stuff fit just fine in the Sonic. The hatchback design is a real lifesaver for the back seat offering ample head and leg room. Not once did I hear someone scream, "My legs are going to fall off!". Both of the rear passengers commented on being shocked they fit into the back seat. For almost 5 hours we were stuffed into the 90.6 cubic feet of the Sonics cabin and all of us came out of it alive with all our extremities attached.



Storage space is very important when you have more than one person in the car. For the Danger Run you have phones, purses, drinks, maps, gloves, jackets and the list goes on. Unique and effective storage solutions allow you to keep everything secure while you blast around town whether its during the the witching hour or your commute to work or school. Chevrolet understands this and has a ton of storage places in the car. Starting with the center stack there are two deep openings perfect for phones and wallets. The glove box is two tiered with a deep bottom compartment and a top compartment perfect for phones plus its a place to plug in your iPod or other USB device. There are also deep wells in the doors that are great places for multiple water bottles and other miscellaneous things you want out of the way.  The Sonic has one of the best storage layouts in the business.







Turbochargers make everything better. They make driving easier and more fun. Take the 1.4 liter engine that in its naturally aspirated form might only muster 110 horsepower. Throw on a small diameter turbo and you have 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque available from 2500 rpm with the manual transmission. Now how does this translate to quickness during the Danger Run? Well it means you feel a rush of torque right as you take off from a stop.This saves a lot of time, especially in constant stop-and-go traffic. Now if youre worried about owning a manual equipped car there is an optional 6-speed automatic. This is a great compromise between the connected feel of the manual and having to step down to the base 1.8 liter engine. If I had to recommend a combination for a daily driver it would have to be the 1.4 turbo with the 6-speed automatic. If youre looking to save fuel then I recommend the 6-speed manual. I was able to net a high of 55 miles per gallon, but what really matters is how you drive and not me.

Turning circle is extremely important on Danger Run. There are many instances where you take a wrong turn and since mileage matters a quick U-Turn is the best fix for a mistake. With the short cropped tail end and tight and easy turning there was no problem getting back on the right track. The Sonics small size and shape make it ideal for running around the network of roads that surrounds Louisville. This translates to a go anywhere car that doesnt suffer from the size anxiety drivers of large SUVs might experience on tight side roads in any town. Turning circle is also good for something else, parking.


Being easy to park is one of the selling points of any small car. Hatchbacks like the Sonic make it so easy to park because the rear windshield is the end of the car. You never have to guess where your car is in relation to where youre trying to park it. While there have been many critics of electric-assisted steering it does one thing very well, dry-steering, Dry-steering is when you have to turn the wheels while stationary. With the older hydraulic system low speed maneuvers could be quite difficult. The amount of pressure in the system was dependent on engine speed and while parking it could take quite a bit of effort to turn the wheel. Fast forward to now and electric steering makes these maneuvers effortless. Parking is quick and easy with the Sonic. This is extremely important during the Danger Run when youre scrambling to find a parking sport at a haunted house or when youre on a busy road and need to park quickly.

Whether its about size, fun or frugality the Sonic is a great choice in this price range. Chevrolet has created a car that is targeted directly at the youth market. Quirky design, turbocharged power and excellent road manners make this a must have for a young car buyer. Whether its for an event like the Danger Run, traveling to work everyday or taking it for a drive on your favorite back road the Sonic will make you and your friends smile while not breaking the bank at the pump. Halloween was a great backdrop for the Sonic. If youre looking for subcompact car that offers something different from the rest then the Chevrolet Sonic is for you.

Brabus B63 620 Widestar

 
 
  •  Brabus B63-620 Widestar, 2013

The Brabus B63-620 Widestar is the new exclusive power off-roader based on the latest Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. Powered by a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo engine that produces 456.3 kW / 620 hp (611 bhp) of power, the all-wheel-drive car accelerates from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). Visually the power off-roader impresses with its striking Widestar wide-body version and its 23-inch Brabus "Platinum Edition" Monoblock E, F or R forged wheels. The Brabus Dynamic Ride Control suspension offers a perfect symbiosis of outstanding ride comfort and dynamic handling. Exclusive interior options round out the product program for the latest evolution of the Mercedes G-Class.

Brabus offers the worlds most extensive engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benz automobiles - all covered by the one-of-a-kind Brabus tuning warranty of three years, up to 100,000 kilometers / 62,000 miles. For the new Mercedes G 63 AMG the Brabus engine specialists developed the B63-620 performance kit, which is also available in custom versions for all other AMG 63 models powered by a Biturbo eight-cylinder engine.

At the heart of the conversion is the Brabus B63-620 PowerXtra module, which is integrated into the engine electronics as a plug-and-play device. Moderately increasing boost pressure and recalibrating the mapping for ignition and injection results in a bump in power output from standard 400 kW / 544 hp (536 bhp) to 456.3 kW / 620 hp (611 bhp) at a low 5,750 rpm. Peak torque grows simultaneously from 760 to 820 Nm (560 to 604 lb-ft), available on a plateau between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm.

With Brabus B63-620 tuning, which is available for the Mercedes G 63 AMG starting at 5,900 euros, the sprint time for 0-100 km/h (62 mph) is shortened to 5.1 seconds. The top speed is limited electronically to 210 or 230 km/h (130 or 143 mph). The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain come from technology partner Motul.

The ideal complement to the engine tuning for the G 63 AMG is a fully stainless-steel Brabus sport exhaust system with butterfly valve. At the push of a button on the steering wheel the driver can choose between driving the V8 in the quiet "Coming Home" mode and enjoying a markedly sporty exhaust note in "Sport" mode. Two tailpipes on either side, exiting in front of the rear wheels and with either a standard or black chrome finish, also add some visual pizzazz.

Brabus upgrades the multifunction steering wheel of the G-Class optionally with aluminum shift paddles that allow the driver to shift gears manually just like in Formula One racing.

The looks of the new Brabus B63-620 Widestar are far from ordinary as well. The Brabus designers have styled a thrilling Widestar wide-body version specifically for the facelift generation of the G-Class.

The powerfully shaped fender flares add twelve centimeters (five inches) to the width of the body and thanks to integrated vents they optimize the ventilation of the wheel wells. The strikingly styled Brabus fender attachments, which continue on the front doors, lend the off-roader also a side view with high recognition value. The LED lights integrated into the front and rear Widestar fenders illuminate the stainless-steel running boards when a door handle is pulled or the remote is operated. The cross-braces in the fenders light up at the same time.

The fender flares also create space for extremely large wheels and tires. Brabus offers owners of the wide-body version, which is available for all latest five-door G-Class models, a wide range of custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations with diameters from 20 to 23 inches. The most exclusive option features 23-inch forged Brabus wheels that represent a perfect symbiosis of lightweight design and enormous strength. In addition to the two popular designs Monoblock E evo "Platinum Edition" and Monoblock F "Platinum Edition," the 11Jx23 wheels are now also available in the new Brabus Monoblock R design, which documents its high-tech nature with an integrated "Platinum Edition" badge and nine double spokes arranged in two plains of which one is fully polished and the other painted a matt titanium color. The size 305/35 R 23 high-performance tires come from Brabus technology partners Continental, Pirelli or Yokohama.

The Brabus front spoiler attaches to the production fascia and characterizes the front of the off-roader, among other things, with its integrated LED lights. The Brabus signets integrated on both sides light up when a door handle is pulled. An additional panel below the radiator grille too contributes to the widened Gs enhanced passing clout. There is also a special insert with integrated Brabus logo for the front grille. The Brabus components for the front are also available for all G 63 AMG models without Widestar conversion.

The powerful design idiom of the Brabus Widestar wide-body version with stylized underride guard continues on the rear fascia. In addition to a central lector, the Widestar bumper has a fog lamp and a backup light embedded on each side. The Station Wagon model can be further upgraded with a Brabus roof spoiler.

The Brabus B63-620 Widestar is equipped with the innovative Brabus Ride Control suspension that offers a perfect symbiosis of outstanding ride comfort and safe, sporty handling. It is available for all G-Class models. The Brabus high-tech suspension system, developed together with technology partner Bilstein, features two-way adjustable shock absorbers at all four corners.

The blue-backlit aluminum button sporting the Brabus logo in the center console lets the driver manually choose between two setups: In comfort position the off-roader delivers exemplary ride comfort. At higher speeds and when driven in spirited fashion choosing the firmer sport setup provides more dynamic handling and even further increased safety reserves.

The Brabus Ride Control suspension also features automatic damper adjustment. If the vehicle sensors detect that certain parameters such as speed, lateral acceleration and steering angle might lead to a critical handling situation during spirited driving, the system automatically switches to the firmer sport setup within milliseconds. The sportier damper setup further increases the directional stability of the all-wheel-drive car. In return, the CAN controller also recognizes when the driver reverts to a more moderate driving style. The system then switches the shock absorbers back to the comfort position.

The cockpit can likewise be customized and ined. The passengers are welcomed by stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit Brabus logo. Other appealing accessories such as high-quality velour floor mats and Brabus aluminum pedals and door-lock pins are also available.
