2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
The ESFLOW concept cars will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March) where it will share the Nissan stand with a number of other innovative and exciting newcomers - but with one major difference: these are production ready.
The 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept isn’t scheduled to be unveiled until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of weeks. Nissan plans to reveal its new electric concept, called Esflow, at the Chicago Auto Show this year. The car will make its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show from March.
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
Nissan has a reputation for creating some of the most exhilarating sports cars
on the market. Nissan has also developed the world's first practical
Zero Emission family car, the Nissan LEAF. Now Nissan has put that
expertise together. It has captured the excitement of a sports car and
the environmental benefits of an electric vehicle and blended them into one dramatic two-seater concept: ESFLOW.
It may be a concept, but the Nissan ESFLOW electric sports cars
proves it's possible to remain environmentally sympathetic without
having to give up the joy of driving. It looks like a sports car,
handles like a sports car and performs like one too. But Nissan ESFLOW Concept cars
is different to every other sports car yet built: it's electric. Using
technology pioneered in the award-winning Nissan LEAF, the EV concept
shows that driving can still be as much fun tomorrow as it is today.

Ecological minimalism need not come at the expense of luxury. The cabin of the 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept is clean and open and weight saving has been a priority throughout its design, but it is still a comfortable and pleasant place to sit. By far the heaviest components in modern cars'
interiors are the steel framed, thickly upholstered and increasingly
motorized seats. In 2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept the
seats are sculpted into the rear bulkhead of the car, negating
the need for a heavy frame. This of course means that they are immobile,
but this is of no consequence as the fly-by-wire steering and pedals
adjust electrically to the best spot to suit each individual driver's
size and preferred driving position.
Nissan
ESFLOW Concept is rear-wheel drive and it runs on two motors. The car's
graceful proportions allow the twin electric motors to be placed above
the axis of the rear wheels, in a mid-ship position,. These motors
independently control the left and right wheels, and so the torque is
optimized to ensure outstanding vehicle stability and control as well as
efficient power regeneration. The motors produce enough torque in an
instant for it to reach a 100kph in under 5 seconds.
2011 Nissan Electric Sports Cars ESFLOW Concept
Power
for the motors comes from the same laminated lithium-ion battery packs
used in the Nissan LEAF, but in ESFLOW the packs are located along the
axis of the front and rear wheels. This centralizes the mass of the car,
and thus its rotation point, close to the driver's hips. These cleverly
positioned batteries enable the car to travel over 240km on one charge.

The
colors of this Esflow are inspired from glaciers, with highly
reflective blue-tinted solidified liquid shapes. Even if this concept
will not hit the production line too soon, it could be a great source of
inspiration for Nissan’s future sports cars.2011 Rolls-Royce Sports Apparition Concept Cars by Jeremy Westerlund

Here is a personal limousine that, Rolls-Royce Apparition concept was designed by Jeremy Westerlund, who designed it as an independent project while studying at the Art Center. 2011 Jeremy Westerlund Rolls Royce Apparition has Clever design features abound, like the spare wheel secreted into the bodywork at the front like 1930s Rollers, an open cockpit
for the driver and the twin rear windows that mirror the shape of the
headlights. It’s like something out of a science fiction film, and a
heck of a lot more interesting than some of the so-called concept cars Rolls-Royce has show in the past five years.

The idea blends classic design
elements with futuristic ones, with mahogany wheel inserts and a shape
that places the chauffeur out in the open like in vintage motor
carriages, with the occupants coddled inside.

This created by a student designer like Jeremy Westerlund comes along
with a design as interesting and unique as the Rolls Royce Apparition.
2011 Rolls-Royce Sports Apparition Concept Cars by Jeremy Westerlund
Design of the 2011 Rolls-Royce Sports Apparition Concept Cars
by Jeremy Westerlund is based around the old motor carriages that had a
chauffeur sitting up front, exposed to the elements, with the
passengers coddled inside. Like most contemporary Rolls models, the front is utterly dominated by the prominent grille and hood ornament.
2011 Rolls-Royce Sports
Apparition Concept Cars by Jeremy Westerlund, it features unique
touches like real mahogany inserts in the wheels, and the imposing
overall shape is long and low: the designer took his cues from sailing
yachts, and even though the model is built to 1:4 scale, it’s still
nearly six feet long. If such an extreme example of fantasy ever became
reality, it would measure 279 inches overall – that’s over 23 feet, or
about four feet longer than the Phantom.

2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
BMW officials has announced that a new Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
Vehicle will be showing up at the Geneva Motor Show and that it will
“revolutionize driving in terms of comfort, infotainment and safety. The two-door roadster’s
"layered" appearance evokes the EfficientDynamics concept from 2009,
while its asymmetrical layout brings back memories of 2001’s X Coupe concept. Just as the former previewed a wild, forthcoming production car and the latter ushered in the Bangle design era, the 2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept provides a glimpse of BMWs to come.
2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
”
BMW is only offering up a few details on this concept, but judging by
its name, we expect a vehicle that will include the latest car-to-car
communication features. It is an efficient and technologically advanced roadster,
not sacrificing anything in terms of driving pleasure. It is unclear
whether the model is related in some way with rumors of a future BMW roadster,
smaller than Z4, or is a natural development of the GINA concept, but
the new model is said to predict the future appearance of the BMW series vehicles.
Official
BMW representatives said: “In 2011 the automobile industry is
celebrating the anniversary “125 yeas of the automobile,” reason enough
to not only look back, but also to look forward. Connectivity is one of
the key fields of tomorrow’s world. And of course, we at BMW are proud
to be among the pioneers of connected driving: for example, with the
first on-board internet access in 2008, the first iPod integration in
2004, or the first ultrasound-based park distance control PDC in 1991.”
2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
“2011 is also the year in which we are setting course for the future. Initial insights are already available to you now in the Future Lab from BMW Vision ConnectedDrive. Or soon right here, with an extraordinary vehicle concept,
which will once again revolutionize driving in terms of comfort,
infotainment and safety. Exactly as you have come to expect from BMW.”
Some rumors suggest that the model will have a “3D interface” that will relate to the driver, with a futuristic design.
The second feature is visible and will go in the direction of future
BMW models. Instead, it is unclear how much influence the future
creation of the BMW model, since the differences between the current
range and the concept presented in Geneva 2011 are quite large, which
hampers a rapid transition.
2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept
The
layered surfaces are enhanced with fiber-optic lighting effects that
highlight the different functions and sections of the 2011 New BMW Sports Cars
Vision ConnectedDrive Concept car. It certainly isn't possible to
design a car like this with just a few pen strokes. And it is a
remarkable and potentially trend-setting approach that is every bit as
daring as the one taken by BMW design ten years ago with the X Coupe.
The
windshield acts as the medium for a three-dimensional head-up display,
and additional information is shown on the monitor behind the steering
wheel. Tellingly, the layer that displays relevant driving information
is christened the "safety layer," and it is fed by plenty of watchful
sensors. A larger zone that also encompasses the passengers is called
the "infotainment layer," and it offers movies, music, and internet
access. Passengers also get their own display with nav and music info,
which can then be sent to the driver’s attention at the press of a
finger.
The
2011 New BMW Sports Cars Vision ConnectedDrive Concept design and
technology of this spectacular roadster are aimed at making the vehicle
an integral part of a networked world. Comfort, safety and the
infotainment experience in the vehicle can be precisely optimized by the
innovative functionality, individually tailored to suit the
requirements of both the driver and passenger. New technologies and design concepts are employed to add even more facets to the unmistakable BMW driving pleasure.

Nissan Motorsports International announced that NISMO just signed the official partnership agreements for the FIA GT1 World Championship with Sumo Power GT (UK) and Swiss Racing Team (CH). Both teams will run two NISSAN GT-Rs respectively in the inaugural World Championship. Two teams for the FIA GT1 World Championship series in which the R35 GT-R will compete in 2010.
2010 Nissan Sports Cars GT-R FIA GT1
The R35 Nissan GT-R
will be raced by the Sumo Power GT team from the UK as well as the
Swiss Racing Team. Further details, such as the driver lineup, will be
released later on. NISMO will provide technical support to its new racing partners.
2010 Nissan Sports Cars GT-R FIA GT1
The prospect of a new world championship, run under fresh regulations was appealing enough for Nissan Sports Cars to develop the highly acclaimed GT-R Sports Cars into a GT racer. It was going to be the first time since 1996 that the (Skyline) GT-R would compete in international GT events. While the FIA GT1 World Championship will not kick off until the spring of 2010, the cars
built to the new regulations could already compete from 2009 onwards.
Nissan Motorsport (Nismo) opted to use the extra year and worked had to
get the new car ready for the official pre-season test at Paul Ricard.
The 2010 Nissan Sports Cars GT-R FIA GT1 is a rear-wheel drive GT1 racer and comes with a naturally aspirated 5.6-liter VK56DE V8 engine tuned
to 600 hp and 650 Nm of torque. It is fitted with a 6-speed
transmission from Ricardo by way of a carbon triple-plate clutch and
grips the ground with 18-inch x 13-inch forged wheels by Rays.
Nissan’s
participation in FIA GT1 racing has been in the works for some time.
Last year it tested the 2010 Nissan Sports Cars GT-R FIA GT1 in several
GT1 races. Now, they seem ready for the real competition.
To be eligible for the 2010 Nissan Sports Cars GT-R FIA GT1
World Championship a manufacturer has to field at least four cars.
Gigawave was expected to continue with the GT-R but unexpectedly the
team closed its shop late in 2009. At that point Nissan had already
signed a deal with Swiss Racing Team for the other two cars. In January
Nissan announced that Sumo Power GT would fill the void left by
Gigawave.

At
the same time Nissan released the first details of the 2010 version of
the car. The specifications were left unaltered but numerous aero tweaks
were made for improved performance. Drivers and other details will be
announced at a later time.2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
The latest Volkswagen will unveil the 3rd and latest iteration by its roadster diesel-electric hybrid concept serial, the fresh XL1 Super effective Vehicle (SEV) at these week’s Qatar Motor demo, which runs by January 26 to 29. The latest 2011 Volkswagen XL1 Hybrid Concept are motivated by a diminished 800 cc TDI two-cylinder basic rail diesel engine breaking 48 HP.
Vision becomes reality – Volkswagen’s “Formula XL1”: Volkswagen XL1 prototype
consumes just 0.9 l/100 km! Wolfsburg / Doha, 25 January 2011 - Future
mobility is one of the most stimulating topics of our time. The key
question here: Just how much could the energy consumption of cars be
reduced if all the stops were pulled out for efficiency? There is now an
answer to this question, and Volkswagen is delivering it in the form of
the new XL1. Combined fuel consumption: 0.9 l/100 km. No other hybrid car powered by an electric motor / internal combustion engine combination is more fuel efficient.
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
Volkswagen
will build small run of XL1 plug-in hybrid in two years. “We want to go
into series production with this car starting in 2013,” Volkswagen
chairman Ferdinand Piech told Automotive News Europe on Tuesday at an
event in Doha, Qatar, ahead of the 2011 Qatar auto show where Volkswagen
unveiled an XL1 prototype. Pioneering construction techniques, an
advanced plug-in hybrid drivetrain and innovative packaging all play a part in allowing the new Volkswagen XL1 Super Efficient Vehicle (SEV) to return 260 mpg on the combined cycle to set a new benchmark for vehicle efficiency.
The most efficient car in the world. The new 2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid
Concept shows the way forward for extreme economy vehicles and clean
technologies. It also demonstrates that such cars can also be fun. The
feeling when driving the XL1 is truly dynamic - not based on pure power,
rather on its pure efficiency. Two examples: 1) To travel at a constant
speed of 100 km/h, the prototype only needs 6.2 kW/8.4 PS – a fraction
of the performance of today’s cars (Golf 1.6 TDI with 77 kW and 7-speed
DSG: 13.2 kW/17.9 PS). 2) In electric mode, the XL1 needs less than 0.1
kWh (82 Wh/km) to complete a one kilometre driving course. These are
record values.
Powering
the 2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric
Hybrid Concept is a compact 800 cc TDI two-cylinder common rail diesel
engine developing 47 hp. It's linked to an electric motor producing 27
hp, resulting in a total of 74 hp - a modest output yet more than enough
when the low kerb weight of 1753 lbs (795 kg) of the vehicle is taken
into account. Two-cylinder TDI uses mass production technology: The 0.8
litre TDI (35 kW/48 PS) was derived from the 1.6 litre TDI, which drives
such cars as the Golf and Passat. The 0.8 TDI exhibits the same data as
the 1.6-litre TDI common rail engine in terms of cylinder spacing (88
mm), cylinder bore (79.5 mm) and stroke (80.5 mm).
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
In
addition, the Volkswagen XL1 Concept's two-cylinder and the mass
produced four cylinder share key internal engine features for reducing
emissions. They include special piston recesses for multiple injection
and individual orientation of the individual injection jets. The
excellent, smooth running properties of the common rail engines were
transferred to the two cylinder engine. within addition, a balancer
shaft that is driven by the crankshaft turning at the same speed
optimises smooth engine running.
When the full power of the hybrid system is engaged, the Volkswagen prototype
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 11.9 seconds; its top speed is
160 km/h (electronically limited). Yet these numbers alone do not tell
the whole story: Since the XL1 weighs just 795 kg, the drive system has
an easy job of propelling the car. When full power is needed, the
electric motor, which can deliver 100 Newton metres of torque from a
standstill, works as a booster to support the TDI engine (120 Newton
metres torque). Together, the TDI and E-motor deliver a maximum torque
of 140 Newton metres in boosting mode.
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
Carbon
fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) the ideal material for the body of the
new 2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric
Hybrid Concept because of its light weight. The 2011 Volkswagen Sports
Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Conceptweighs only 795
kg. Of this figure, 227 kg represents the entire drive unit, 153 kg the
running gear, 80 kg the equipment (including the two bucket seats) and
105 kg the electrical system.
That
leaves 230 kg, which is precisely the weight of the body - produced
largely of CFRP - including wing doors, front windscreen in thin-glass
technology as in motorsport and the highly safe monocoque. A total of
21.3 percent of the new Volkswagen XL1, or 169 kg, consists of CFRP. In
addition, Volkswagen uses lightweight metals for 22.5 percent of all
parts (179 kg). Only 23.2 percent (184 kg) of the new XL1 is constructed
from steel and iron materials. The rest of its weight is distributed
among various other polymers (e.g. polycarbonate side windows), metals,
natural fibres, process materials and electronics.
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept
Design for a new era: The VW XL1 is 3,888 mm
long, 1,665 mm wide and just 1,156 mm tall. These are extreme
dimensions. The Polo has a similar length (3,970 mm) and width (1,682
m), but it is significantly taller (1,462 mm). The height of the new
2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric Hybrid
Concept is about the same as that of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
(1,184 mm). So, it is easy to visualise just how spectacular such a
Volkswagen would appear on the road – as long and wide as a Polo, but
with a low profile like a Lamborghini.
The
styling of the 2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster
Diesel-Electric Hybrid Concept is borne out of functional requirements -
easy access to the interior is granted via a pair of elegant scissor
doors that hinge on the A-pillar while the profile of the car has been
honed in the wind tunnel, the result being a remarkable coefficient of
drag figure of 0.186. The XL1's overall length and width are similar to
those of a Volkswagen Polo yet its height is more akin to that of a
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
Although
the 2011 Volkswagen Sports Cars XL1 (SEV) Roadster Diesel-Electric
Hybrid is still very much a concept, its unveiling marks the next step
towards the birth of a new class of Super Efficient Vehicles, while the
advent of a process such as RTM is a significant milestone.
