METROPOLIS and cutting-edge technology
METROPOLIS by hybrid powertrain will be the responsibility of the city with the perfect combination of driving pleasure. In order to function most effectively drive performance, METROPOLIS also installed Citroen unique active hydraulic suspension system to create excellent comfort, especially for China. The system can adjust the distance between the car body and the ground, thus reducing wind resistance, minimizes the carbon dioxide emissions.
METROPOLIS hybrid powertrain provides the following drive models:
Full electric drive mode: In the start, the city at low speed and slow down case by a 55 hp (40 kW) electric motor drive, the maximum power up to 95 hp (70 kW);

Fuel-driven mode: When the engine reaches maximum power, the uniform in the road and highway driving, by the a 2-liter V6 gasoline engine-driven. The generator's power can reach 272 hp (200 kW), torque to 375 cattle • m;

Combination of two engine models:

Need to increase the horsepower to accelerate the time ("overboost" function), the maximum power can reach 460 horsepower (345 kW), torque to 430 cattle • m
Need to increase the grip and the use of four-wheel drive mode

The powertrain will be driving pleasure, excellent performance and the integration of environmental concerns, and minimize carbon dioxide emissions. 4 liter V8 with a traditional engine compared to the performance of the same case, the power transmission system of carbon emissions is only one-fifth of the power transmission system (per km of 70 grams of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to 100 km fuel consumption 2.6 liters).


These advantages are achieved through the following measures:
Gasoline Engine Optimization
7-speed dual-clutch gearbox electronic control mechanical
Hybrid System
Implementation of lower carbon dioxide emissions hybrid powertrain strategy

At the Beijing Auto Show, Geely has brought a total of 54 vehicle models display, 14 power train and a station simulator products. 54 vehicle models in this exhibit, there are 12 cars in the future invest in research models, in addition to the strategic models and new energy vehicles. In addition, Geely also brought under the luxury Imperial brand GE models.

Dorsett GE
The Imperial Beijing auto show older GE GE has not seen those totally mimic the design. Section compared to the old GE, GE's new design is more luxurious appearance atmosphere. The old section of the former GE and Rolls-Royce Phantom face style is very similar to using a large area of its large size Founder chrome grille, headlamps and Founder of the legislation marked the front.

Dorsett GE

Body side lines also close to Rolls-Royce Phantom. The new GE redesigned front face, including network size and the old GE although almost the same processes as a whole slightly outward, so it looks like more of the three-dimensional and full.
In addition, the new GE also introduced a newly designed headlamps group, compared with its prior shape design that just like they looked round a lot. In addition, LED daytime running lights and LED turn signals are also essential Dorsett GE on the equipment.
Dorsett after GE facelift to become more mature, old face view, the basic car has been out of Rolls-Royce Phantom prior to imitate all the traces, independent design accounted for a large proportion. Especially in the front grille, headlights group increased chrome frame, taking a step forward to enhance the sense of Imperial GE's grade.

Dorsett GE

From the body side, Dorsett GE and Rolls-Royce Phantom all have a slender body and large. But Dorsett GE Rolls-Royce Phantom is not a similar kind of sink-style waistline, over relatively flat overall. And contrast two cars, Dorsett GE C-pillar is narrower than the number of Rolls-Royce Phantom.
In addition to these minor differences, the Imperial than GE Rolls-Royce Phantom is not the biggest difference is design used on the door. So one day that you see in the street on the door of non-a "Rolls Royce" Do not be surprised.

Dorsett GE tail design echoes the former face, the fine detail of the more sleek, basically not too obtrusive lines. The following two thick rear bumper chrome oval exhaust pipe looks quite unashamedly.
The car's interior also, and it looks as luxurious and grand. Dorsett GE in-house use a lot of chrome, and leather upholstery, whether material or technology is very superior. GE has an independent central rear tailgate, front row can be divided into two separate spaces.

Dorsett GE
Sitting in the back of the boss can not only enjoy the privacy of personal space, you can also enjoy the large screen DVD. Center console and steering wheel are a lot ofused high-end maple. Each button and knob inside the car has chrome.
As the car has not yet mass production process, so specific details of certain performance parameters that we have not yet mastered. In size, the Imperial GE and Rolls-Royce Phantom should be similar. Estimated powertrain, the Imperial GE will also carry a large displacement V6 or a V8 petrol engine.

Lamborghini Estoque concept cars recently in Cologne, Germany, was photographed on the streets of spy photos, but the car was not linked to license plates. Although the film does not know the exact location of the car on the street there is to explain this super sports car has not been consigned to limbo.

As early as last October's Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini will launch the first four cars, but then rumors because of the economic crisis, the introduction of this provision before the mid-engine was cut. When in March of this year, Lamborghini responded to the rumors before, declared that "no decision to mass production Estoque", but said the four-door sports car is very suitable for the company's current product line.

The car's interior space enough only put four adults plus golf outside. And Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera Bugatti Veyron 16C Galibier also like
Estoque belong to "four super sports car."


Edit Comment:
Lamborghini is not being put into production Estoque, is a very good option. After all, four-door super sports cars have not fared well, including of course the market not just to the half-year and four-door Porsche Paramera Super Race fans Maserati. For the rich and powerful, the super sports car is usually one of the toys used to make merry, they have only one car can not, they are generally younger. May say, four ultra-running is a monster for them, they really need this four-door sports car it?

Sitting in the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 Super
Veloce in the cockpit, you always feel a kind of resonance. Precisely, this V12 running rough, sounds sharp, and the noise associated with small and fragmented, but this is what we dream of Lamborghini, but also the minds of most people's wild Lamborghini really fascinating charm.

Its sound, its board, its manipulation, and some features may not be copied so completely stop to another order of magnitude. Now, your right foot more than the previous dominant 23 kilowatts power, pilots curb mass was reduced by 100 kg of SV, SV that experience dramatic changes brought about by the downsizing.
Lamborghini's engineers with full carbon fiber material covers the entire body, while retaining some of the classic steel frame tubes frame structure. Carbon flooding. Front and rear bumper, fixed rear spoiler, bucket seats are all carbon fiber. Frame on the floor and also by the shell to accommodate a drive shaft made of composite materials. SV of the quality of an unprecedented no-load 1560 kg.

Its speed is also internationally accepted standard speed limit (120 km / h) of the almost threefold. 100 km speed up time was 3.2 seconds, top speed 341 km / hour. Even if it put together with Bujiadiwei Air, SV deterrence favorably.

3 transparent polyethylene windows of hexagonal cells detached refined. Below the rear lights is a huge exaggeration of the radiator grille and the diffuser, the central exhaust tail pipe is large enough that some absurd. Door, of course, scissors doors. Steering wheel adjustment range is very comfortable, so you can easily put it in his arms, but the odd thing was SV's seat is fixed, and completely unable to adjust.
Relative to the Gallardo cold, blunt, but some German-style steering feel, I like the direction Murcielago feedback. SV of the steering wheel and not as naughty as the Lotus Elise in the palm of your hand churn, but it will not come from a strong road bumps all turned away. No floating anxiety, it does not produce false feedback. Before the LP640 SV has more than a clear directional.

SV Carbon brakes even better than Murcielago optional more powerful ceramic brake pads. Brake pedal effort is very clear, and it can very quickly return to still make a gallop SV. Slightly revised V12 engine also has the same sensitivity of response.

To taste the taste of the red line speed is not difficult, just toggle E-gear of the gear change paddles, that will be easy. In the SV body, E-gear is completely standard. Of course you can also choose manual transmission, it can be thrifty spending, but also make chrome shift handle more light.

China's Confucian philosophy I do not have any deep research, but I know a truth: Flaws in jade. The Lamborghini Murcielago
Judging the SV's mettle is so. It's successor may not have so many weaknesses and will also become more refined, more perfect. But, for now, the raunchy SV still you can buy, the most exciting sports car.
When I returned to Lamborghini's headquarters car also happened to see a group of tourists take the bus to visit the Lamborghini museum and factory. They are British, aged between about 56-year-old, a child of corduroy water pants, shirts and tweed sports jacket bright colors. They are Ferrari owners, by the morning's free tour Maranello. I saw a car people are staring at SV, eyes have never removed. Perhaps they never received the car, but they must recognize, in addition to the lack of good racing pedigree, no one like Lamborghini produce such a character as distinctive super sports car.

That Benz, we first thought may not be Mercedes-Benz C Class, E Class, Mercedes-Benz S-class is not, but "Big Ben." The so-called Big Ben is the Mercedes-Benz S-class long-wheelbase models, mostly for courtesy cars on the market in China has extended version S600 and S300 models.

Little change in 2010 edition Mercedes-Benz S-class was held in April this year, the New York auto show debut appearance before the face of some minor changes, dynamic configuration be upgraded. Recently, I received from the overseas media, the new "Big Ben" test spy photos, but the car is currently in preliminary testing, the new models look slightly uncoordinated.

In power systems, the expected new models with other Mercedes-Benz S-class series models share several similar engines. Which may include high-end V8 petrol engine and the V8 diesel engine, the V8 diesel engine output power up to 354hp (264 kW). Will also be launching a vehicle equipped with V12 engine.
Mercedes-Benz S-class extended version is expected in early 2010 the first sale.
