Kia Sorento UVO voice-control interface

Kia Sorento UVO voice-control interface: Making its debut in the 2011 Sorento SUV, the UVO (your voice) system allows hands-free, voice-activated operation of the car's stereo as well as plug-in accessory devices such as MP3 players, PDAs and USB memory sticks. The driver can also send and receive phone calls (and text messages) via voice prompt. UVO features adaptive software that helps it learn each driver's different voice pattern - and it's fluent in multiple languages.

Kia says UVO should help drivers keep their eyes on the road - and their hands on the wheel - instead of looking at and fiddling with lots of buttons as they drive.

Ford's Sync system - which came out about two years ago - is similar but less advanced. For example, UVO can directly access the Internet through a wireless connection to continuously update its software, features and functions - which implies that UVO could also enable drivers to access e-mail and even surf the web while in their cars.


Ford is working on an updated version of its Sync technology that reportedly will allow the same thing - although it's still an open question whether it's a good idea for drivers to be surfing the Information Highway while they're driving down the actual highway.

2011 Chevy Volt Spark pure electric car

2011 Chevy Volt/Spark: The forthcoming Volt is somewhere in between a plug-in hybrid like the 2011 Prius and a pure electric car like the 2011 Nissan Leaf (see below). Like the Prius, the Volt has both an electric motor/battery pack and a small internal combustion engine. But unlike the Prius and other hybrids, the Volt's gasoline burning engine is only used to provide back-up power for the engine's onboard battery packs in the event their charge runs low. It is not connected to the drive wheels or transmission. In effect, the Volt carries around its own built-in generator - making it independent of recharging stations.

The Volt's batteries may also be charged up by plugging the car in to any common household 110 volt outlet. This dual-mode recharging should give the Volt greater versatility and range than plug-in hybrids like the '11 Prius - as well as superior overall economy.

GM claims the Volt can go for 40 miles on a fully-charged battery without the gasoline engine ever coming on - and up to 300 more miles with the small gasoline engine providing generator power. If these claims prove accurate (and we won't know until the cars are actually available about six months to a year from now) the Volt would be the most fuel-efficient car ever mass produced.

But there is a potential downside: GM reportedly will price the 2011 Volt at between $35,000 to $40,000 - comparable to the cost of an entry-luxury BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Federal tax deductions of as much as $7,500 will help make the Volt more affordable but it will still take awhile to work off the up-front costs in "down the road" fuel economy gains. Middle class buyers most interested in a high-economy car may find the Volt too expensive.

Later in 2011 or 2012, GM may also offer a similar drivetrain in the Spark ultra-compact city car, which should be priced more affordably.

Mercedes SL65 AMG new Modification P1000

Mercedes SL65 AMG new Modification P1000, MKB Mercedes nicknamed P 1000. This form of engine modification package that can provide additional power for the SL 65 AMG, when compared with standard power is very much different.

Under normal circumstances only SL 65 AMG engine has been spelled out very energized evident from the work of a standard engine V12 bi-turbo 6.0-liter mated by the five-speed automatic transmission gearbox can blow as strong as 670-horsepower power. So what if the machine is undergoing modification in accordance with the performance package offered by MKB, which is definitely more powerful still, what the package does not include new water intakes, larger turbochargers, improved cooling systems, renewal of the ECU, and high performance camshafts so that the energy gained by the SL 65 AMG after used package P 1000 can reach 1000 horsepower and peak torque of 1.300 Nm (959 lb-ft)

Not only that P 1000 also includes the modification of five-speed transmission and offer a variety of limited slip differentials. Associated with new power gained SL 65 AMG is likely this car can go in a short time is 3.6 seconds at the distance of 0 to 100 km / hr. However unfortunate enough MKB has not determined the highest speed of this car while it was accelerated. MKB inform for transformation or a change machine takes up to three months.


Besides having a strong super power, plus a slim body shape indentations with front and rear lip spoiler, this car makes further strengthen its image as a sporty car smelled. Consider begin legs, alloy wheels with five fingers inserted under the body increasingly slick strong Mercedes SL 65 AMG

Ford Ecoboost 3.5 liter V-6 engine

Ford Ecoboost 3.5 liter V-6 engine: V-8s may go the way of the Dodo - at least in Ford and Lincoln vehicles. The automaker has developed a new line of direct-injected and turbocharged V-6 engines designed to produce V-8 horsepower and torque output while maintaining the fuel economy of a smaller V-6 engine.

Ford is concerned about the prospect of gas prices going back to $3 or $4 per gallon - in which case, vehicles equipped with gas-guzzling V-8s will become as hard to sell as Betamax VHS players. In addition, the federal government recently passed a law which will require all new cars to average 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 - which is just a few short model years down the road from now. V-8s are thus becoming a liability - but many customers still want V-8 power and performance. Ford hopes its Ecoboost concept will solve this dilemma.

Direct injection optimizes combustion efficiency and also permits the use of very high compression ratios for high power output without engine knock, because the high-pressure fuel charge reduces internal cylinder temperatures. The result is a 20 percent increase in efficiency compared to an otherwise similar engine without direct fuel injection. Turbocharging, meanwhile, boosts low-end torque and also provides on-demand power for merging and passing at higher speeds. In the new Lincoln MKS sedan, the 3.5 liter Ecoboost engine returns 17 mpg in city driving and 25 on the highway - while producing 355 horsepower. In contrast, Ford's workhorse 4.6 liter V-8 (used in everything from Mustangs to Explorer SUVs) produces 40 less peak horsepower (315 in the Mustang GT) while managing only 16 miles per gallon in city driving and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.

Ford plans to offer its line of Ecoboost engines in fully 90 percent of its vehicles by model year 2013.
