- Mitsubishi Motors expanded the Outlander family lineup with the debut of an all-new crossover utility vehicle (CUV) -

At the 2010 New York International Auto Show, Mitsubishi Motors expanded the Outlander family lineup with the debut of an all-new crossover utility vehicle (CUV). Designed from the bottom up with a striking design and rigid, lightweight body, the smart-sized crossover combines fuel efficiency with stylish and feature-rich premium performance. Using lightweight, dent-resistant plastic front fender body panels, regenerative braking and enhanced class-leading aerodynamics, engineers have brought estimated highway fuel economy into the 31mpg range. Boosting the new crossover's list of premium features are such standard technologies as Active Stability Control (ASC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Electric Power Steering (EPS), a comprehensive seven-airbag safety system, and a cutting edge, high-contrast LCD instrument display. Active and stylish buyers will also appreciate the available LED-accented Panoramic Glass Roof, 710W nine-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system and FUSE Hands-free Link system.

Two trims will be offered in the U.S. market for 2010: the budget-minded ES with a standard 5-speed manual transmission or the premium SE with a standard sportronic 6-speed CVT with magnesium-alloy paddle shifters. Standard for all models is a fuel efficient, 148hp MIVEC-equipped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. A CVT transmission is available on ES trim and electronically controlled All-Wheel Control (AWC) is available on SE models.

BOLD SIGNATURE DESIGN
One of the core concepts for the new Mitsubishi CUV is a striking new design language known as "compact dynamism", providing a functionally vibrant look that uses proper, flowing aerodynamics to maximize visual impact and fuel efficiency. Featuring Mitsubishi's distinctive front "jet fighter" grille treatment, the clean and refreshing body lines are both emotionally stirring and high grade. By merging the Outlander's driving position and high-impact SUV design with the vigor of a smaller package, designers have created a cutting-edge entry level CUV that fits a broad range of lifestyles.

The new Mitsubishi CUV also features smoothly refined aerodynamics and a class-leading 0.33 coefficient of drag, beating the Mazda CX7 (0.34), Hyundai Tuscon (0.37), and Subaru Forester (0.38). Special steps were taken during the design process, resulting in a wind tunnel tested front face, sloping sides, and gently curving roof. With a lower coefficient of drag, the vehicle's slippery shape is able to cut through air with less effort, increasing both fuel economy and acceleration.

A wide range of eight body colors is available, including new exterior paint options Mercury Gray and Laguna Blue. The ES trim features standard high-rigidity, lightweight 16-in. wheels, available in either steel or aluminum alloy. For those looking for an even sportier look, the SE models include 18-inch alloy wheels and fog lights with chrome bezels. Owners can personalize that exterior with an array of accessories including an optional Exterior Sport Package featuring an alloy fuel door, tailgate spoiler, front skid plate, rear diffuser garnish, and front corner extensions.

Accenting the CUV's exterior treatment and functionality are the addition of LED rear combination taillights on both models and Super wide range High Intensity Discharge (S-HID) headlamps on SE models. With 35% greater light output than standard HID headlamps and a wide coverage beam, S-HID headlamps provide extra visibility and security when driving on dark roads.

SMART-SIZED PACKAGING
In essence the Outlander's "little brother", this entry-level crossover merges the Outlander family's impressive real world capability with a smaller, more maneuverable urban package. Designed to fit with a wide range of active lifestyles, the vehicle features the easy entry, exit, and turning radius of a smaller vehicle yet also the higher sightline and interior volume of a CUV. Seeking to create a dynamic new shape without compromising interior space, designers came up with a spacious five-passenger body that is 14.6-inches shorter than the Outlander. Compared to the Lancer passenger car, the new Mitsubishi CUV features a visual reference point that is almost 5-inches taller.

The entry-level CUV is also more agile and maneuverable than its competitors, featuring an independent suspension design and dynamic shape that leads to easier parking and driving. At just 34.8-ft., its turning circle is smaller than the Ford Escape (36.7-ft.), Nissan Rogue (37.4-ft.), and Honda CR-V (37.8-ft.).

The new crossover's dynamic and compact design is also lightweight at just 3,042-lb. for the ES 5-speed manual transmission model. This reduction in weight was achieved through the use of thinner high-strength steel in the hood, tailgate, and doors, recycled plastic front fenders, and new interior materials. Just a few examples of the design team's attention to detail include changing the handle lock body from zinc to magnesium and using less door trim. Compared to the Hyundai Tucson's 3,179-lb., Nissan Rogue's 3,281-lb. (with roof rails), and Mazda CX7's 3,496-lb., Mitsubishi's new CUV's lower curb weight allows it to deliver better fuel economy and better handling.

SMART PERFORMANCE
All models come standard with a MIVEC-equipped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 148hp at 6,000rpm and 145lb-ft of torque at 4,200rpm. Partial Zero-Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) models produce 143hp at 6,000rpm and 143lb-ft of torque at 4,200rpm. In order to reduce weight, the engine block is cast out of lightweight aluminum and MIVEC variable valve timing technology is used to improve both engine output and efficiency.

Paired with the 2.0-liter engine in ES models is a 5-speed manual transmission or a steering column-mounted paddle shift 6-step Sportronic CVT available. SE trims come standard with the fuel economy-optimized CVT transmission. Mitsubishi engineers have spent countless development hours optimizing the CVT transmission's shift patterns and gear ratios, as well as reducing friction within its hydraulic oil control for greater fuel economy. To enhance the driving experience, magnesium alloy paddle shifters are mounted just behind the steering wheel, allowing the driver to switch between automatic and manual shifting modes without moving their hands. The CVT's manual gear shifting Sport mode can be selected by either pulling the paddle shifter while the lever is in "D" or by selecting Sport mode with the shift lever. After Sport mode is activated, the driver can shift up or down using the paddle shifters. Pulling the right paddle shifter for at least two seconds will deactivate Sport mode.

FUEL ECONOMY INNOVATIONS
All models are equipped with revolutionary new lightweight and dent resistant plastic front fenders. Made from recycled materials, the plastic body panels contribute to a lower curb weight and increased fuel efficiency. Reducing friction and drag with the road surface also helps increase fuel economy and the new crossover comes specifically equipped with tires with a low rolling resistance coefficient. An Electric Power Steering (EPS) system has also been added to eliminate the parasitic engine drag found in conventional hydraulic power steering systems, freeing up engine efficiency and increasing fuel economy.

In order to reduce fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions, the highly efficient engine is paired with a "smart" alternator and regenerative braking system. Recharging the onboard batteries using friction energy during braking, the system detects battery-charging conditions and utilizes the unique alternator to adjust voltage based on the vehicle load. Combined with the recycled body panels, class-leading aerodynamics, EPS, low curb weight, and efficient engine, the braking system helps push the new Mitsubishi CUV into the 31mpg range on the highway.

FUN TO DRIVE
With its low curb weight, compact mobility, and available electronically controlled AWC, the compact crossover also features a fun-to-drive handling balance that resonates with active Mitsubishi CUV buyers. Designed to be nimble and swift both on-road and off-road, the vehicle combines outstanding ground clearance with a tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension design. Lightweight suspension pieces and front and rear swaybars are just a few elements of a suspension that has been tuned for better agility, roll control, and ride comfort. Four-wheel independent gas-charged shock absorbers and coil springs are used at all four corners.

Standard on all models are the driver assist aids Active Stability Control (ASC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). Making for a more controlled and pleasant driving experience through all situations, ASC helps ensure stability during slippery driving conditions and maintains control after sudden driving inputs. ASC also features traction control to prevent wheel spin, ensuring worry-free take-offs and increased grip on slippery roads. Hill Start Assist uses front and rear gravity sensors to detect steep hills or gradients and applies brake pressure to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards, making for easier starts.

ALL-WHEEL CONTROL (AWC)
Building upon Mitsubishi's reputation in off-road performance, the SE features an available electronically controlled All-Wheel Control (AWC) 4WD system. The AWC system comes with the same capable "drive anywhere" functionality on other Mitsubishi vehicles the AWC provides increased handling, traction, and stability during any driving or weather situation. The compact design of the AWC system also calls for low viscosity transfer case oil for reduced friction and is capable of being switched between 2WD and 4WD modes, optimizing fuel efficiency.

The new crossover's AWC system also features a driver control knob, conveniently located in the center console, to adjust the electronically controlled coupling. With selectable fuel-efficient 2WD, capable 4WD Auto and rough surface 4WD Lock modes, AWC allows the driver to maximize fuel economy and traction at all times and over all surfaces.

FRESH AND HIGH-GRADE INTERIOR
Showcasing new premium materials, the interior is designed for sporty functionality and possesses a look previously found only in more expensive SUVs. From the first press of the One-touch Start System (OSS), standard on SE models, the new crossover offers the driver a modern experience. Highlighting the driver's experience is a first-in-class full color, high contrast LCD instrument display meter, accented with bold meter rings, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob. The instrument display also features an ECO driver indicator light, which signals when the vehicle is driven in a fuel-efficient manner. Covering the dashboard surfaces and extending to the door trim is a stylish, grained soft padding that gives a premium look and feel.

From its 60/40 split-folding rear seats to its spacious luggage area and armrest pass-through, the compact crossover is designed for interior space and functionality. Available on SE models with the Premium Package is the striking and fresh Panoramic Glass Roof with LED ambient lighting. Almost 20% wider and 219% longer than a typical sunroof, the Panoramic Glass Roof offers a spacious view of the surrounding skies and offers rear seat occupants a new feeling of greater interior space. Adding modern styling cues, LED lighting within the Panoramic Glass Roof provides an ambient accent to the cabin at night.

ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES
From the chassis design on up, the new Mitsubishi CUV was created with safety in mind. Based on the Outlander structure, which has received the highest NCAP safety rating for collision-worthiness, the new crossover uses the same Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body design. This improves impact safety from all directions by utilizing a high rigidity body and crush zones which progressively crumble to absorb collision energy. The windshield has been given a wide glass area and high eye point for increased visibility and its lower base designed with the hood to reduce injury to pedestrians. Key structural areas on the chassis also direct energy away from the cabin and occupants while front and side members feature crush box front sections, which help reduce the cost of body repairs after minor incidents.

Another by-product of a rigid structure is increased stability and ride comfort. To further reduce cabin noise and vibration, the crossover's pillars have been foam filled for strength and the engine bay fitted with sound absorption material. Triple-sealing the side sills and double-sealing the door surrounds further improve sound insulation.

Keeping occupants safe inside during collisions is a comprehensive seven-airbag supplementary restraint system, which includes side, curtain, and a driver's knee airbag. Not a feature commonly found in this class, the driver's knee airbag controls posture and prevents injury to the legs during a frontal collision. The CUV's seats have been optimized to reduce whiplash and the front seats feature pretensioners that secure occupants during collisions and force-limiters that gently release to reduce the risk of injury.

FUSE HANDS-FREE LINK SYSTEM
Offering greater convenience and reduced distractions, the FUSE Hands-free Link System combines advanced voice-recognition capabilities with Bluetooth 2.0 enabled hands-free calling and audio playback. With the FUSE system, drivers can experience new levels of entertainment convenience while still retaining the capability to focus fully on the road. Automatic phonebook transfer and multiple phone support are both elements of the FUSE Hands-free Link System, as well as control of the SE model's optional navigation system, which is equipped with a 40GB hard disk drive for quick point-of-interest lookup. Full iPod and USB music device charging and playback are featured as well for portable music compatibility.

PREMIUM ELECTRONICS
The new crossover features a variety of electronic accessory options. These additional features solidify the CUV's already refined and rich driving experience. SE models include a number of convenience features that would normally be found only in more expensive offerings such as standard automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers and the keyless FAST-key passive entry system with push-button, One-Touch Start/Stop (OSS). Also available on SE models, the optional 40GB hard disk drive navigation system provides accurate mapping and lifetime real-time traffic updates with its 7-inch LCD display and doubles as a music server. The optional Rockford Fosgate in-car entertainment system has a full 710 watts of power and nine speakers for greater sound detail and quality.

PERSONALIZED ACCESSORIES

Realizing the desire of many hip and stylish urban buyers to customize their crossover, Mitsubishi has announced a number of optional customization packages. The Exterior Sport Package includes a large tailgate spoiler, front corner extensions, rear diffuser garnish, front skid plate, and alloy fuel door. The Protection Package offers a scuff plate cover, rear bumper plate, and front and rear mudguards. The Interior Package features a chromed Piano Black panel garnish and gearshift panel, and a black leather and aluminum CVT shift knob. The Illumination Package includes blue LED floor illumination lighting for the driver and front passenger, and a blue LED tailgate light. Also available is the Cargo Package, which includes a cargo mat, tonneau cover, and rear cargo net. With so many options and customization choices, Mitsubishi's all-new crossover is designed to fit with nearly any owner and active lifestyle.

Lamborghini Murcielago Gets 200mph+ Targa-Style Roadster With AWD
Lamborghini of late has been milking every dollar it can from the aging Murcielago with one special edition after another, counting on the supersports coupe and roadster to continue to sell to its clientele until the eventual introduction of an all-new top bull.

The latest in the line, in a limited run of 50 units that are sure to sell immediately, is the quickest and most dramatic modern-day factory Lambo to date, the 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 650-4 Roadster.

The new 650-4 features the most powerful engine in a drop top Lamborghini to date, a version of the company's ubiquitous V12 massaged out to 6.5 liters and 650 horsepower. As the "-4" extension indicates, the Murcielago LP560-4 Roadster carries permanent all wheel drive which should help to keep it on the road in the hands of drivers whose wallets outweigh their skill.

AWD helps the heavier roadster version of the Murcielago make it to 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.4 seconds, all the way up to a top speed of 205 mph. For comparison purposes, the 2WD standard-trim Murcielago Roadster takes 3.8 seconds to reach 100 km/h.

All 2010 Murcielago LP 650-4 cars get identical exterior paint and trim, with flat gray main body color with orange and carbon accents. The V12 is housed amidships under a transparent cover so pedestrians and truck drivers can know what the driver is packing.

Contact Lamborghini for availability, but don't cross your fingers if you don't have serious clout in the car world. Once the limited run of 50 are gone, you'll just have to wait for the next special edition a couple months down the line. (-RSportsCars)

Car accident lawyers info, 2003 LAMBORGHINI Gallardo wallpaper

2003 LAMBORGHINI Gallardo
LAMBORGHINI Car Desktop Wallpapers
1600x1200 pixels








Lamborghini Gallardo, the smaller cousin of the Lamborghini Murcielago, was design to be a cutting edge sports car that could still be used as an everyday car - a task that seems next to impossible. In order to succeed engineers had to achieve high comfort standards while maintaining the savage performance expected of a Lamborghini. The result is a 4.3 meters long 2-seater raging bull capable of over 300 km/h, fulfilling the high-performance sports car pedigree for which the company is famous, while still being enjoyable to drive outside the race track, in the city or country lanes.


It was designed to preserve the attributes of previous Lamborghini cars, but also to add a sense of extreme individuality and a modern feel. The final product looks great, even when standing still the Lamborghini Gallardo feels fast and uncompromising. The interior looks modern and is of superb build quality, but you can recognize some Audi bits here and there. Unfortunately the car lacks the famous Lamborghini scissor doors, which are reserved for V12 lineage.


Lamborghini Gallardo is powered by an incredible 5-liter V10 engine generating maximum power of 500 hp (368 kW) at 7,800 rpm, 510 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm (with as much as 80% available as low as 1,500 rpm) and made entirely from aluminum. Throttle is controlled by a Drive by Wire system with two electronic throttle bodies. The power is sent to all four wheels by a Lamborghini Viscous Traction system which, in normal conditions, distributes the traction at about 30% front and 70% rear. The system is considered to be "self-regulating" and does not require any additional electronic management. The car uses a 6-speed manual gearbox with an option of a sequential gearbox - the e-gear - providing gear changes using paddles mounted to the steering column. In order to further lower the centre of gravity the car uses a reduced diameter double plate clutch.


Suspension in both front and the rear utilizes a double wishbone setup typical for high-performance sports cars. In order to offer exceptional handling the Lamborghini Gallardo has also been fitted with front and rear limited slip differential. To assure the finest grip in various weather conditions Lamborghini Gallardo is equipped with Pirelli PZero tires - 235/35 ZR19 front and 295/30 ZR19 in the rear. The ensure outstanding brake efficiency the car uses large brake disks combined with Brembo clippers - 365 mm / 8-piston front, 335 mm / 4-piston rear. ABS and the ESP system have been set up to allow a proper sports driving excitement while still keeping the ride safe.


The top speed of the Lamborghini Gallardo is an impressive 309 km/h (192 mph). This incredible machine will go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 s and cover the first 1000 meters in just 22.3 seconds. The car's fuel consumption figures are 9 mpg (29.1 liter/100km) in the city and 15 mpg (13,9 liter/100km) extra urban.

The Lamborghini Murciélago is a GT and supercar automobile made by Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. and designed by Luc Donckerwolke. It was introduced in 2002 as the successor to the Diablo. The body style is a two door, two seat coupé.


An open-top version called the Murciélago roadster was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The roadster features similar performance to the coupe with a more aggressive rear flank, as well as a considerably higher price tag.


The Murciélago sports a 6.2 L version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 engine, a six speed manual or six speed e-gear sequential gearbox and All Wheel Drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, the side mirrors fold in to increase aerodynamics and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine. The name Murciélago comes from a bull that survived 24 sword strokes in an 1879 fight at the arena of Cordoba, and fought with such passion and spirit that the matador chose to spare its life, a rare honor. In another Lamborghini tie-in, the bull was later presented as a gift to Don Antonio Miura, a noted breeder, and went on to sire a line of famous fighting bulls. Murciélago also means bat in Spanish, and a Murciélago roadster is featured briefly in the movie Batman Begins. The coupe's base price is US$ 273,000, which is US$90,000 more than its smaller sibling, the Lamborghini Gallardo.

2001 LAMBORGHINI Diablo 6.0 VT

LAMBORGHINI Car Desktop Wallpapers
1600x1200 pixels





By Mac DeMere
First TestAs a 16-year-old, I fantasized about hearing, "Mr. Penske is on the phone. He wants you to drive for him at Indy." But age fades dreams. Penske doesn't race at Indianapolis any more, not that he'd let this old showroom stock racer touch his car even if he did.

But recently I received a call that rivaled my wildest teenage fantasy: "Lamborghini wants to fly you to Europe to test its new Diablo."

Thirty years-to the day-after I received my driver's license, I was in Vairano, Italy, charging into a test track corner at 180 mph-a bit too hot, perhaps-in a 2001 Diablo VT 6.0. It was just one of three Diablos I'd sample during a birthday party to make every boy-and many girls-envious.

To top off the celebration, I snapped off a scorching 3.4-second 0-60-mph run in the Diablo: The quickest we've recorded with a production car on street tires. Hennessey Vipers and Lingenfelter Corvettes need drag slicks-and skill and practice-to challenge that. But a maximum acceleration launch in the all-wheel-drive VT 6.0 is simple: Rev it to 6500 rpm, dump the clutch and simultaneously go to wide-open throttle-and hang on. The rear tires spin just enough to create a light haze of tire smoke and lay down 20 or so feet of rubber. To limit speed-robbing wheelspin, the viscous center differential transfers 25 percent power to the front Pirelli P Zero Asimmetricos.

The last time we tested a Diablo (a rear-drive model), it ran 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. And in this ultra-exclusive performance arena, one full second may as well be one full eternity.

Simply put, the Diablo becomes its own catapult. Fifteen seconds after launch, assuming you can work the gated shifter, you're doing more than 130 mph. Practice well, and you'll be a hero at the dragstrip, too, with an 11.8-second/120.9-mph obliteration of the quarter mile.

Changes to the Diablo for '01 are relatively minor. There's new lighter, carbon-fiber bodywork. Enhancements to its DOHC V-12 include a larger bore diameter to increase displacement 285 more cubic centimeters, lighter crankshaft and titanium connecting to increase revving velocity, a 32-bit microprocessor for the engine management system, and coil on plug ignition. These combine to increase horsepower to at least 550, which Lamborghini apparently means as a minimum: The company says most of its cars produce between 560 and 580 horsepower, and one serendipitous combination of parts produced 600 horses.

Other changes include a wider track for better cornering power and, more important, additional (translate: some) driver foot room. Few will notice the increased cornering power offered by the wider track, but most will appreciate the increased space in the driver's footwell. (When I last drove a Diablo, I had to go barefooted to work the gas and brake independently. With the wider track, you can drive in cowboy boots.)

The Diablo, introduced in '90, is in its last phase, possibly its last year. Audi, the new owner of Lamborghini, which has suffered from numerous acquisitions, is developing its as-yet-unnamed successor. Code named L147, it will be revealed next year and will employ the same 550-plus-horse V-12 introduced in this VT 6.0, but with enhancements like a dry sump oiling system to lower the car's center of gravity. Diablo production will likely continue alongside the new car as long as demand holds. Hey, it's a handbuilt car: It's not like they have to move tooling dies or anything. Besides, there are a lot of 13-year-old boys determined to own one.

For a blindingly fast car, the VT 6.0 is surprisingly easy to drive. It's very tractable whether negotiating Roman-chariot-width backroad bridges over Po River tributaries or accelerating into the Mad Max traffic on A7. Steering effort and feel, two previous complaints about Diablos, were excellent. Ride can be harsh over rough roads, but it's just what you'd expect from an almost-a-race-car. Feedback through the carbon-fiber seat was superb, though the wide-of-beam may not fit. Headroom was (as always in a Lambo) at premium. In fact, the EPA rates its interior space equal to that of a mini-compact.

Combine its all-wheel drive with the fact that its massive 335/30ZR18 rear tires hold a 100-millimeter edge in section width over its fronts, and the Diablo is a serious understeerer. This helps prevent Lamborghini from losing customers in headline-grabbing fashion. Exiting test track corners, you have to be almost as patient as if you were in a front-driver, which it partially is.

Still, oversteer is possible, especially under lift-throttle: I damn near spun it on an early lap of the handling course, but Mario Fasanetto, test driver for Lamborghini's R&D department, attributed that more to worn rear tires on the orange car. The tail also stepped out under hard first-gear acceleration exiting a tight hairpin, but a hint of opposite lock and the all-wheel-drive system diverting torque from the rear tires kept it in check.

The Diablo's five-speed transmission is another story. The gated shifter is bad enough, but also first gear and reverse share the same branch of the shift pattern-first is to the left and down. Combined with its aluminum shift gates, this makes the 1-2 shift a look-down-at-the-shifter-to-change operation. This awkward design must be left over from Ferruccio Lamborghini's initial vehicles-the ones with which he earned the fortune necessary to start an exotic car company-farm tractors. Fortunately, the 1-2 shift occurs a hair after 60 mph. During acceleration testing, I matched Fasanetto's 0-60-mph time, but fell behind on the upshifts (especially since, on my best of two runs, I banged the rev limiter while performing the look-down-to-shift technique), so we used his 11.8-second 120.9-mph quarter-mile time. The strain of such launches meant additional runs would move into the realm of needless abuse.

Every teenage boy wants to know the Diablo's top speed. Fasanetto, a brave man, reports seeing 201 mph on a test track. I couldn't challenge this, since the autostrada was so crowded that even 200 kilometers per hour was only rarely possible.

Lamborghinis vary. "Every car we make has its own personality," said Fasanetto. Certainly, each of the three I drove was notably different from the others. The orange car was loose under trailing throttle, the gray car did not like braking while turning, and the blindingly yellow had a hint of high-speed oversteer.

So, there you have it: 550 horsepower in a 3600-pound car still equals a good time, whether the country of origin is Italy or the USA.
