“Magic“ Alonso has returned

Fernando Alonso demonstrated yesterday that when it has a top car he is one of the best pilots of the world. In his début with Ferrari in the Championship of the World of Formula 1 it led a magisterial career, preserving at all times the car and the tires, something that allowed him to finish the Big Award of Bahréin to a very top rhythm that of any of his rivals marking the rapid return in career to few returns of the end.

Yesterday it was the big day, Fernando was making debut with the racing team of his sleep, and he did not defraud, turned into the fourth debutante who wins in his first career in the Formula 1 with Ferrari. After a qualification, in which a small error in the key return, placed him third in the exit broiler, Alonso, it was determined to make use that it was going out for the dirtiest side (more haulage) to move forward some position, and this way it did it, in the second curve it was already second after moving forward his partner Felipe Massa. Sebastian Vettel, pole position, put a frantic rhythm and obtained three seconds of advantage on Fernando, this one far from despairing, devoted itself to preserve the car and the tires without losing the reference of German.

The punishment to which he submitted to his Network Bull, Vettel, spent invoice to him and a problem in the leakage system prevented him from continuing at his maximum level, moment in which, Ferrari's new pilot was useful to move forward him (return 34) and to be placed at the head of the career, since it would not retire already in 15 remaining returns.

One morning that Ferrari began with change of engines in the team finished with his two pilots cornering the podium and areas of marshland in juice of not what (in the Islamic countries that thing about the Champagne is prohibited). The face of Massa (second) was a poem and that of (third) Lewis Hamilton also. Alonso obtains this way a booty of 25 points that are going to give him calmness and confidence to confront this newly begun period.

The rest of the Spanish, without a lot of luck, Jaime Alguersuari finished in the position 13 ahead of his team-mate. Pedro de la Rosa very was right in it while it was in track, left in the return 30 when it was going twelfth for a hydraulic problem. And for his part the team Hispania could not finish with any of his car the Big award, they left in the return 2 and in 30 Bruno Senna did it.

The future design of Mercedes

The assistants to recently celebrated Lounge of the Motorcar of Detroit, on having happened for the stand of Mercedes, could admire a mysterious sculpture that was simulating a vehicle covered by a canvas on the verge of appearing. Well, the above mentioned sculpture has the keys of where there will go the future design of the German mark.

The person in charge of the same one is Gordon Wagener, the new director of style of Mercedes, which is being employed in these moments at the one that will be future ADN of the cars of the German mark. Gordon is the person in charge of the lines of current Class C, SL and SLS AMG. And it has received the fully deserved award on the part of Daimler of being nominated a design chief in 2009 of Mercedes, Smart, Maybach and AMG.

The one that was the director of the center of advanced design that the mark of the star possesses in California has now a challenge more important to realize drawings and designs of new models of isolated form: to raise the level of design of the whole mark, perhaps one of the weakest points of Mercedes in the last decade. And it seems that evidently with the new SLS sure AMG that obtains it.

This sculpture in silver tones, since it could not be otherwise, shows us the evolution of the frontal broiler, of the new optical groups and reveals an increase of the lines in the profile of the Mercedes. The first sample of these new designs will be able to be seen by us in October, date for which there is foreseen the appearance of the new CLS, a sedan of four doors that will present a hard battle to future Audi A7.

Wagener wishes the new CLS to be the first one of a series of vehicles with his signature that turn into authentic outstanding figures of the future. New more stylized, sports and efficient cars promise to be Mercedes, without leaving the elegance and hardiness of the one that they have always presumed.

Dacia has just presented in society his todoterreno of low cost Duster. It has been in the course of the Lounge of the Motorcar of Geneva and has caused sensation between the assistants for his prices more than accessible.

The practical vehicle of the Rumanian mark can be acquired from 11.900 euros in his version of two motive wheels, if we need entire haulage we can buy a Duster from 13.900 euros.

The version with haulage to four wheels offers three different conduction ways. In the way Edict, a central differential across an electromagnetic device is in charge of distributing automatically the turning moment between two axes as the needs and the level of adhesion, in such a way that up to 50 % of the force of the engine it could turn aside to the rear axis. If the chosen one is the way LOCK the differential is blocked and the share-out between the axes is equitable, undoubtedly, this is the best option when we go along along slightly prepared ways or of very low adhesion. The NORMAL option is the recommended one to circulate along highway, in this case, the motive wheels are only two front parts what reduces greatly the consumption.

Dacia Duster has a few very compact external measurements: 4,31 meters long and 1,82 meters wide. The vertical clearance to the soil is 21 centimeters, with an angle of attack of 30 grades and 36 of exit. His cockpit allows to travel comfortably to 5 persons.

The Citroen 2 CV has been 60 years, to celebrate it, from this blog dedicated to the engine we produce a small homage. A tax more than deserts since in 42 years that it has been in production, of the chains of assembly of the French signature there have gone out more than five million of these vehicles.

The original project of which it would go out 2CV was called TPV (three petite voiture, very small car) and his guardian was the director of that time of Citroen Pierre-Jules Boulanger, he, the Italian designer Flaminio Bertoni and André Lefébvre. His idea was clear, to construct a very robust car that was capable of rolling about different areas, easy to support and whose cost was not very high. The first prototypes had already independent suspension in four wheels, front haulage and gearbox of four relations.

The Second World war came and the prototypes were hidden or destroyed so that they were not coming across. As soon as the conflict was concluded, Citroen, it recaptured the project. Big changes were not applied on the developed before the War, only one chose to change the bicylindrical engine refreshed by water of the prototypes into even simpler other refreshed by air and with a displacement of 375 c.c. In the bodywork there were replaced some of the original panels made of aluminum with others of iron more resistant.

2CV To estaba ready to be presented and the elected place might not be different that the Lounge of the Motorcar of Paris of 1948. The specializing press did not receive him with taste and him the criticism rained. In July, 1949 his production began and the reception on the part of the French people was exceptional, after a few months on the market, the term to be able to acquire one 2CV was coming to three years.

Citroen had constructed a very polyvalent car that was going along equally of good along city that for the field, was spacious for his small dimensions, had four doors, was turning out to be economic of using and supporting.

On Friday, the 27th of July 1990 at four o'clock in the afternoon, it went out of the factory of Mangualde that Citroen had in Portugal the last one 2CV.

Mini will throw a version of low consumption of his models One of 75 CV and One 98 CV that will receive the name of Minimalism. Both models receive progress in his mechanics to reduce the consumption as an alternator that there recharges the battery in phases of retention, an indicator of change of march and the system start/stop.
