The German tuner has made the Ferarri Enzo even more extreme in the shape of the FXX and the FXX Evolution. The FXX and the FXX Evolution are Ferarri’s experiment for its latest technology such as the F1’s technology and then will be used for Ferarri’s road going car.

The Ferrari Enzo comes with an amazing 660 horsepower engine. But Edo Competition can not be called as a tuner if the German company did not increase the engine performance. Edo Competition’s crews have increased the engine displacement from 6.0 to 6.3 liters. This bring 180 hp more than the original car. The car now delivers  840 horsepower. It is not the end. Without mufflers more than 860 horsepower is possible. While the maximum torque of 780 Nm (575 ft-lb) is available at 5,800 rpm.

It is amazing creation. Edo has increased the power of the car (180hp) and at the same time has made the car lighter by 100 kilograms (220 lb). As the result the Edo Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution hits 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.0 seconds and 300 km/h in just 19 seconds. The car can run until a top speed of 390 km/h (242 mph).

Edo Competition has given the car new camshafts, new titanium valve spring retainers and connecting rods, new high performance exhaust headers, high flow catalytic converters, mufflers and air filters. The crews have also modified cylinder heads. The standard hydraulic tappets are replaced with newly developed solid tappets, enabling the 12 cylinder engine to rev to an incredible 9,600 rpm. This is unmatched by any other 12 cylinder engine at this time! Additionally the intake system of the V12 was modified, a new high performance clutch - available with „strada” or „pista” friction pads - and a more powerful oil pump were installed.

Edo also offers the side of the music in the shape of a stainless steel muffler featuring remote-controlled butterfly valves (available on request). This setup offers two different sound levels of the high performance exhaust.

The performance of Edo’s creation is close to F1 car. The transmission shifting time is so good. Edo Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution shift times were reduced to an incredible 60 milliseconds! The F1 car at 40 milliseconds is just 20 milliseconds faster than the Edo’s car. It is faster than the standard Enzo with 110 milliseconds. Hhmm…It is so quick car.

Enzo XX Evolution comes with KW race suspension from the FIA GT series. The driving dynamics is absolutely perfect. The nose lift functionality is retained. The low-friction 3-way adjustable shock absorbers can be adjusted to the individual tastes of the driver and provide excellent steering precision and feedback. The edo-installed tire pressure monitoring system displays the pressures for each of the four wheels. Providing ample grip for the edo Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution are 19 inch front wheels and 20 inch rear wheels with 335 mm wide tires.

The drive shafts were replaced due to the higher propulsive forces acting on them. The new units are 4 kg (8.8 lb) lighter and considerably more robust in order to cope with the enormous power increase.

The aerodynamics package is absolutely unique. It includes a complete exhaust system with tips machined from billet aluminum, now relocated to the top of the body. The tips are plasma-coated using a special process. The newly developed rear skirt featuring winglets and a rear wing profile, adjustable in 3 steps, improves the ground effect and can be tuned to the tastes of the driver. The new retractable rear wing is upgraded with a taller flap resulting in increased downforce and stability, especially at high speeds. New LED tail lights round off the rear view of the car.

A test day with an instructor, mechanics, data logging, transport and hospitality is included in the conversion package.

As a Weismann’s taste (style), the 2010 MF5 is a combination between beautiful looking with superb performance. It is delicious to see its styling in classic and exotic shiluette. While the exotic supercar is powered by a 507 HP and 520 Nm torque V10 engine that gives the car a top speed of 310 km/h and completing 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

It is less expensive than Bugatti Veyron, but the 2010 Wiesmann MF5 is not ordinary car. It is also exclusive with only 55 cars to be made. Weismnann offers its masterpiece starting from 189.500 Euro (German price including tax).  It could be best price for the exciting open-air experience.

The car looks like combining the classic gullwing door with the futuristic shape like the next generation supercar. The aerodynamic is so cool. We just guess the beautiful inside as its outside. Overall the design is timeless…in my opinion. But you could be disagree with me.

Worldcarfans said that the car should be ready by the 2010 Pebble Beach Concourse d’ Elegance. Clearly, Steenstra has come a long way since his first job with Volvo in the early ’80s. In the press release, Cornelis Steenstra explained that “I grew up with a passion for transportation and motor racing, and have always felt that people should and could enjoy driving passionate performance automobiles while still retaining their responsibility toward the environment,”

Cornelis Steenstra had much experiences as a consultant for Porsche, and with nearly ten other brands. Well… the Fisker’s competitor will be real when the production begin by 2013.

Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid concept comes with a 97hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol engine combined with an advanced lithium-ion battery (replacement to the nickel-metal hydrides version in normal Priuses).

The electric mode gives the car speed up to 62mph (100km/h) for range of 12.5 miles (20km). The information on EV driving mode is presented through a Hybrid System Indicator.

According to Toyota the new Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept is cleaner with less than 60 g/km of CO2 emissions. This green performance is the result of the using of an Electro Multi-Vision screen. It is also easier with one-and-a-half hours to charge using a 230v power supply

TOYOTA SWITCHES ON TO AN ELECTRIC FUTURE WITH NEW PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID

CO2 emissions cut to less than 60g/km

KEY POINTS

* New Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept reinforces Toyota’s progress towards the ultimate eco-car
* Lithium-ion battery technology allows for compact packaging and quick recharging
* Rechargeable from domestic power supply or public charging point in around an hour-and-a-half
* Extended EV (electric) driving mode of up to 12.5 miles at speeds up to 62mph
* Over longer distances, Prius Plug-in switches to conventional petrol-electric full hybrid operation
* CO2 emissions cut to less than 60g/km
* Toyota to launch global lease programme to evaluate Prius Plug-in in early 2010

Toyota is unveiling a new Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept at the Frankfurt motor show, signalling further progress towards its ambition of building the ultimate eco-car.

Presentation of the new concept comes ahead of a test programme that will see more than 500 cars leased to customers worldwide for real-world evaluation of performance and monitoring of driver attitudes and experiences.

Using lithium-ion batteries, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid provides clean, fuel-efficient electric-powered running in urban areas for longer distances and at higher speeds than the conventional, third generation full hybrid Prius. Over longer distances, or when the limit of battery power is reached, the system automatically shifts to conventional petrol power. Advanced battery technology allows for full recharging in around an hour and a half and the extended EV capability brings CO2 emissions down to around 60g/km.

The plug-in hybrid concept

Europe’s population is increasingly urban-centred and Toyota research into commuting patterns shows that in the UK and France, more than 80 per cent of car journeys cover a distance of less than 25km; in the UK around 80 per cent are less than 10km long. These figures confirm the potential for electricity in providing short to mid-term sustainable mobility.

The environmental benefits of electric cars for urban commuting are well-documented, but vehicle development has been hampered by the drawbacks of the weight, size and cost of the large capacity batteries needed to provide even a modest driving range, and the lack of an adequate recharging infrastructure.

Toyota is addressing both these issues with the launch of the Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept. It believes that progress in battery technology makes plug-in hybrid architecture the most workable solution for an electrified powertrain. The system overcomes the issue of a limited cruising range by enabling an automatic switch to a traditional full hybrid petrol-electric system once the vehicle reaches the limit of its EV (electric vehicle) driving range.

The concept model is a development of the new, third generation Prius, and builds on the core technology of Hybrid Synergy Drive specifically to meet the needs of urban motorists. It is a full hybrid vehicle in which both the electric motor and petrol engine can drive the wheels: a fully electric EV mode is used for shorter distances, while the petrol engine provides a true long-range capability.

As well as avoiding the limited range traditionally associated with electric vehicles, Toyota has also achieved a compact and practical packaging design for the battery pack. Prius Plug-in can be also be quickly recharged, from a conventional household electricity point, or a public charging post.

More than 500 Prius Plug-in cars will be released around the world early next year for lease programme, with more than 150 of these on the road in Europe. This will let Toyota evaluate all the technical aspects of the new model in a real-world environment, an essential step in preparing the vehicle for a potential market launch. The lease programme will also yield valuable intelligence on market response and which characteristics drivers find appealing, and why.

Performance

The Prius Plug-in Concept’s powertrain is similar in format to the Hybrid Synergy Drive used in the new Prius, but with the nickel-metal hydride battery pack replaced by a new, high-output lithium-ion battery - a first for a Toyota hybrid vehicle. The new battery is more compact and has a higher volumetric energy density, so it does not compromise vehicle weight and packaging. Perhaps more importantly, it can be recharged much more quickly than the nickel-metal hydride type: the battery in the Prius Plug-in can be fully recharged in one-and-a-half hours from a 230v power supply.

The battery allows strong, seamless acceleration up to a maximum 62mph (100km/h) in EV mode. On a full charge, it can cover approximately 12.5miles (20km) in EV mode, six miles further than the nickel-metal hydride battery in the latest Prius model. Over longer distances, the car operates as a regular full hybrid.

The car’s extended EV performance has a significant impact on emissions, with CO2 output dropping to less than 60g/km and, as with other full hybrid models, reduced NOx and particulates (PM) levels. Even greater CO2 savings can also be gained if the electricity used to charge the battery is drawn from renewable sources, such as windmills and solar panels. Simply put, the lower the percentage of energy derived from fossil fuels, the better the car’s well-to-wheel CO2 performance.

Convenience

The Prius Plug-in Concept is every bit as comfortable, convenient and practical as the latest generation Prius. As in its sister model, the air conditioning can be activated remotely, when the vehicle is plugged, enabling the cabin to be brought to the right temperature before setting off.

To help drivers maximise the benefits of driving in EV mode, it is equipped with a Hybrid System Indicator, which includes information on the EV driving range, based on the level of battery charge. An engine starting point display has also been added to emphasise the increase in EV driving range.

The Electro Multi-Vision screen on the dashboard also offers a display that highlights the plug-in hybrid’s contribution to reducing CO2 emissions, showing a computer graphic image of single tree that gradually increases to whole forest as the battery charging process takes place.

As a significant development in environmentally responsible mobility, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept offers commuters and people who live in urban areas all the benefits of an electric vehicle, with none of the drawbacks.
