A German star is born...

2011 Audi R18 Race Car

WOWIES! Audi made a new Le Mans Prototype! This new Audi Le Mans Prototype is called the R18.

Wow! This Audi LMP has a meaner look. This meaner look will scare the opponents out of the 24 Hour Le Mans Race for good, but is this greater than other Audi Le Mans Prototypes?

Scoop:

Final three K-On!! Character CDs debut! Commercialization starts at January!

Who've enjoyed five K-On!! Character Image CDs, from Yui to Azusa? You know, CD number 1 to number 5?

Don't think it's done because Pony Canyon unveiled the last three of the K-On!! Character Image CDs, based on the second season of K-On!!

Character Image 6: Ui Hirasawa (CV: Madoka Yonezawa)

Character Image 7: Nodoka Manabe (CV: Chika Fujito)


NEW! Character Image 8: Jun Suzuki (CV: Yoriko Nagata)


I'm serious because this was confirmed from the official site.

Commercialization starts at January 19, 2011. Hurry up and pre-order it.





Citroen C-ZERO

2011 Citroen C-ZERO

Zero, meaning none or a blank, which also means no value. In hybrid car terms, the number "zero" refers to zero emissions, a huge step for the clean future of the automotive industry. At the center of the number zero, the Citroen C-ZERO is born to be a zero, zero emissions for Europe.

Under the partnership between PSA Peugeot Citroen and Mitsubishi Motors, the Citroen C-ZERO is based on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric hybrid compact. Aside from that, Peugeot also uses the i-MiEV platform for its European OEM, the Peugeot i0n.

As a 100% Electric Vehicle, the Citroen C-ZERO is powered with the magnet synchronous motor, capable of releasing a power output of 64 bhp EEC/3,000-6,000 rpm and the torque output of 180 Nm/2,000 rpm. This motor is powered with the 330-volt lithium-ion battery system, which was sourced from Mitsubishi Motors in Japan.

Recharging the C-ZERO is simple as charging your portable devices. The C-ZERO comes with the 220-volt plug that can be charged to about 30 minutes to six hours.

My thoughts about the C-ZERO:
Since both the Citroen C-ZERO and the Peugeot i0n were made by Mitsubishi Motors, responsible for the i-MiEV, both of these eco cars were equipped with the YF41 electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Both of these were offered exclusively for the European markets. Consider these a European-Japanese agreement when it comes for the future of the automotive industry going green.

An automotive recall like a Korean drama... [UPDATE]

Check this scoop:

Hyundai's Santa Fe:

and Kia's Sorento


Both of these Korean SUVs are a favorite among Philippine car enthusiasts because of the CRDi R eVGT diesel engine. It seems both of the Philippines' favorite crossovers are suffered from a major recall due to defective brakes!

Only the latest versions (built from September to November 2010) were affected by this said recall. Seems sad but this recall is much more of a Korean drama...

Hurry up and better get these two fixed! Owners, get these fixed at your dealers. I'm not sure if both the Philippine distributors of Hyundai (HARI) and Kia (Columbian) made an announcement about this recall...

Well, back to watch some Korean dramas...

Update: Turns out only those made in North America were affected by the recall. The ones we had were made from South Korea, so in other words, we're safe.

Limited-edition, Japan-only, Renault Sport Clio (Lutecia) marks the end...

2011 Renault Lutecia Sport Complete (J)

It's been great that the Renault Sport Clio (Lutecia in Japan) was been the most enjoyable Renault hot hatch ever made. This car may be sold in other countries but in Japan, this is the climax.

For that, Renault Japon offered a special edition called the Renault Sport Lutecia Complete and its limited to just 30 units. This special edition doesn't seem to be special, especially when the interior comes with the RS monitor (found on the Renault Sport Megane).

Why call it Complete? European countries still sold the Renault Sport Clio but why try to end its Japanese sales of the Renault Sport Lutecia? Is it because it will give way to the Japan launch of the new Renault Sport Megane?
