Maltese Power Company Imagines New Chreos Electric Luxury Sedan that Hits 100km h in 2 9s
Their automotive project is named the Chreos, and its a large limousine that measures 5.42 meters (213.4 inches) in length.
"I would like to present to your team our new creation, a concept that we are looking to bring into production over the next 3 years," the CEO of the company Johnaton Grech, told CarScoop in an email. "It is an extremely powerful and fast electric vehicle, sporting 640bhp power, 4400Nm torque (There is no extra 0), 1000km range and an innovative recharging time of less than 10 minutes."
At this stage, the Chreos has been imagined to be powered by four in-wheel electric motors that in theory, will allow it to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 2.9 seconds, reach 200km/h (124mph) in "less than 6 seconds" and top out at 300km/h (186mph). Were also told that the electric limousine will tip the scales at around 2,200 kg (4,850 pounds).
Depending on how you look at it, those performance numbers are either extremely impressive or overly ambitious…

The All New 2010 Audi A5 Turbocharged 2 Liter Engine
New 2010 Audi A5One of the newest additions to Audis line of luxury vehicles is the Audi A5, a two-door sport coupe. Originally introduced with a standard six-cylinder engine, the A5 has received a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine for 2010. The new 2.0 liter engine produces 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, compared to the 265 horsepower 3.2 liter V6 with 243 lb-ft of torque that was the only option for the 2009 A5 and remains an option for 2010. Both engines can be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, while the four-cylinder also has a six-speed manual option.
The new four-cylinder engine, called the 2.0T by Audi, also provides better fuel economy than the V6. With a manual transmission, the 2.0T is EPA rated for 22 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. The automatic transmission drops the fuel economy to 21 city, 27 highway, and 23 combined. The six-cylinder engine improved in fuel economy over the last year; it now is rated for 18 city, 27 highway, and 21 combined (compared to 17/26/20 for the 2009 model). With a 16.9 gallon fuel tank, the 2.0T manual has a range of 422.5 miles, while the 2.0T auto can go 388.7 miles between fill-ups and the V6 is good for 354.9 miles.
One of the highlights of the new 2.0T engine is its impressive torque. It produces more than the V6 engine, and it peaks very low in the cars RPM range. The 2.0T gets to 258 lb-ft of torque at just 1500 rpm, which has left reviewers in awe of the driving experience. Great performance is a requirement for this car, as Audi has stiff competition in this segment from the BMW 3-series and the Infiniti G37 coupe, both of which have more powerful engines.

SsangYong XIV 2 Concept 2012








- SsangYong XIV-2 Concept, 2012
SsangYong Motor Company is gaining a reputation in Europe for creative, futuristic and advanced designs, and at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show the 4x4 specialist will unveil its next groundbreaking concept.
Making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the XIV-2 is a premium convertible CUV (crossover utility vehicle), and follows in the tracks of SsangYong XIV-1 Concept, first shown at the IAA in Frankfurt, September 2011.
Evolving the idea behind the first generation concept, SsangYong XIV-2 (eXciting User Interface Vehicle 2) has been developed into a vehicle that offers a special experience with fun. Central to that fun element is an advanced convertible roof to give driver and passengers a rich wind in the hair experience whether travelling on or off road.
XIV-2 is SsangYongs strategic global model, and has harnessed every element of the companys design and engineering expertise from its inception. B segment in size, this CUV retains at its core a dynamic, robust SUV and has been tailored through global design clinics to appeal to young drivers in their twenties.
Environmental considerations are also at the heart of SsangYong XIV-2s design, and the car will be equipped with various highly fuel efficient, low CO2 technologies:
- Euro VI compliant 1.6 petrol and diesel engines
- Efficient six speed manual or automatic transmission
- Idle Stop and Go (ISG)
Representing a strategic milestone for SsangYong, XIV-2 will be launched in various body styles including 5 door, 3 door, coupé and an extended body version.
Styling Concept
Embodying SsangYongs design philosophy of Robust Aesthetics Realisation, XIV-2 moves forward from the previous XIV-1 design with progressive styling cues. Showing how drivers can enjoy the aesthetics of an SUV along with the benefits of a B segment car, XIV-2s design combines the appeal of an active, urban model with the dynamic shape of a coupé.
In profile, the body blends fast, confident lines with strong themes creating a dynamic silhouette. Carbon fibre trim gives a sense of the SsangYongs nimble, lightweight feel while the aerodynamic shape will appeal to active young drivers.
SsangYong XIV-2 features a fabric roof with a one-touch automatic operating system to provide open air driving enjoyment with ease.
Inside, the concepts design continues the dynamic design with refined simplicity carried over from the XIV-1. Red colour highlights on the dials emphasise the SsangYongs dynamics, with every part of the cabin styled to enhance driving pleasure.
SsangYong XIV-2s cabin controls are integrated into one central system and managed using a centre console mounted screen. Smart and mobile devices use an Auto User Interface to provide passengers with a moving communication space. Maximum space is assured for occupants thanks to four independent bucket seats creating a comfortable and luxurious environment, and the cars colour palette works in harmony with specialist materials and finishes including aluminium and carbon fibre.
SsangYongs design philosophy focuses on conveying driving fun through its experimental and progressive design spirit. Just as XIV-2 reflects SsangYongs design principle now, the same ethos will be displayed in all future concept vehicles.
