FRANKFURT 2009, Lamborghini Renewal Roadster, Audi S5 Sportback and Volkswagen L1 Concept

The news of Frankfurt are endless, and as we see any firm I remain itself without showing nothing.  On the one hand this the new one Lamborghini Renewal Roadster, by another the strange one Audi S5 Sportback, and finally the Volkswagen L1 Concept.

Lamborghini present in Frankfurt to the Renewal Roadster, the variant one that lacked to this spectacular model of the Italian firm.  In general lines what we appreciate, and just like occurred with the version closed, is that we see a Bat absolutely transformed and super aggressive, some characteristics that really I love, but that the study does not help to that the automobile i like of the all.  It to have preferred that continue call Bat.

The motor of this creature is of 6.5 liters and 12 cylinders in V with 670 CV to 8,000 rpm, and 660 Nm.  This it is the same motor of the Bat LP670-4 SV, and manages to go from 0 to 100 km/h in tiny more than 3.4 seconds, and to do a maximum velocity of 340 km/h.  This it weighs 1,690 kg., and measures 4.7 mm of long, 2.1 mm of wide, 1.1 mm of height.  The distance among axes is 2.7 mm.

The production will be limited; alone will be of 20 units.  The price it is expected that comience in 1.1 million euro (1.6 million dollars).

In the interior impresses the carbon fiber, the dashboard, and the instruments of aluminum, the alcantara and the leather.

And abroad, the Renewal, espresso everything that a Lamborghini should express, aggressiveness, violence, fury and highly technology, where the massive exits of air are emphasized, the aspect of airplane hunts, the design of the cover of the motor (impressive), the rear viewpoints, and the exit of escape.

The CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA said:  “The Renewal is the most extreme automobile in the history of the mark”.

By the side of Audi the firm I present the version S5 of the A5 Sportback, a variant one that continues me turning out to be strange and out of each logic (over there I mistake me).

The motor of this model is a V6 3, 0 liters TFSI, that this 90º, of direct injection with 2,995 cubic centimeters, compressor and two intercoolers.  The box is S-Tronic of double clutch of 7 velocities.

With this it achieves a maximum velocity limited to 250 km/h and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.  The consumption is of 9.7 l/100 km and the emission of CO2 is of 224 g/km.

As soon as the static thing they change the rims, takes it of air, the incorporation of new tails and of various details that they do of this a variant one S.

And by the side of the Volkswagen L1 Concept, the German firm returns to the load with a model that already I present some years ago (in the 2002) behind nearly with the same name.  It seems that the intent is to carry it to the production in the 2013.

This it is presented with an a lot more pleasant design, with new materials and technological advancements and with a very interesting motor.  This has a motor 0,8 liters TDI, has 27 CV in way ECHO and 39 CV in way Sports, along with a small electric motor of 14 CV.  The electric motor receives the energy of a battery of Ion-Lithium situated in the front of the car.

This it achieves a maximum velocity of 160 Km/h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 14, 3 seconds.  The medium consumption is of 1, 38 liters/100 Km, has an autonomy of 670 km and the emissions of CO2 are of 36 g/km.  A performance itself reached thanks to the aluminum and, to the carbon fiber and to the aerodynamics.

In the interior its position is emphasized of tender of the seats, the opening of the door (if can be called thus) and the steering wheel with a rectangular design.  And abroad we appreciate that I am carried to the extreme its aerodynamics, achieving that the automobile have a very interesting design.
