2012 Fisker Karma Plug-in Hybrid First Drive Review


( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2012 Fisker Karma Plug-in Hybrid is like no other car on this earth. It is stunningly beautiful, very expensive, and if you plug it in every night and don't drive over 40 miles, it can also be very green. It is the first green luxury sports sedan that is propelled only by electric motors. Of course the Karma also has a gasoline engine to charge up the battery when the juice gets low so you can drive it about 300 miles like a normal car. The Karma is also very big and very heavy. At over 5000 pounds it own the road and it should because it costs a little bit over 100K.

Nissan Hi-Cross AWD Plug-In Hybrid EV Concept


Nissan Hi-Cross AWD Plug-In Hybrid EV Concept bit.ly A new concept car from Nissan, given its World Premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, heralds a possible new design direction for the company. Called the Hi-Cross Concept, the proposal looks at ways to extend Nissan's leadership of the crossover market with a possible expansion of the current Juke-Qashqai-Murano portfolio. Created in Japan, Hi-Cross Concept is compact yet surprisingly roomy, elegant yet purposeful and - being a Nissan - it's clever with it. Its 'smartness' takes two forms. Despite its modest external proportions, Hi-Cross Concept has a highly space efficient interior with three rows of seats for seven passengers. Equally as clever is its hybrid drive train, coupling an electric motor - powered by a Nissan-developed compact lithium-ion battery - with a 2.0-litre direct injection petrol engine to provide the performance potential of a 2.5-litre with the economy and emissions expected from a much smaller unit. Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., said: "Nissan created the crossover segment with Murano and has expanded the genre with top selling cars like Qashqai and Juke. Hi-Cross Concept shows we are not sitting still, resting on our laurels, but exploring ways of cementing our crossover leadership by exploring new ideas." For the concept, the HEV drivetrain is based on new technology developed by Nissan for front-wheel drive models, but modified to provide four-wheel drive. The <b>...</b>

✮✮ⒷⒺⓈⓉⓃⒺⓉⓌⓄⓇⓀ①✮✮ 2011 Just days after the i3 was spied in Scandinavia, the BMW i8 has turned up in the Arctic Circle. Caught wearing sky-inspired blue and white camouflage - as opposed to the traditional black and white getup - the i8 prototype looks virtually identical to the Vision EfficientDynamics concept which debuted at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Despite the similarities, the prototype has a repositioned third brake light and a revised rear fascia with an integrated diffuser. While the production model is slated to use a petrol engine, the VED concept featured a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbodiesel engine and two electric motors that produced 262 kW (356 PS / 351 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. This enabled the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, hit a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), and averge 3.76 L/100 km (63 mpg US). More importantly, thanks to plug-in hybrid technology, the Vision EfficientDynamics could travel up to 50 km (31 miles) on electricity alone. The BMW i8 is scheduled to be launched in 2013 and is rumored to cost approximately £150000 (€175285 / $242680).
