Jaguar XKR Evaluation of the 2010

The 2010 Jaguar XKR coupe is a very eye appealing automobile. It has distinct styling with body lines created quite similar to that of the Aston Martin for about half of the M.S.R.P. This car sold new for approximately $102,000. As you will see, quite a value at that price.

Opening the door is done with a key fob held in your hand or in a pocket or purse. The seat is easy to get into without any gyrations. I am 6’4” and it was no problem for me. Once in the vehicle you smell the fine quality leather that surrounds you. In this car it had very supple black perforated seats with a charcoal, suede headliner. All surrounding leather was black and had a piano black lacquered wood trim. Very elegant. For longer trips there is a variety of seat adjustments including lumbar support. Very good visibility of your surroundings from inside the car.

With a push of a button the car starts with a growl. The acceleration is immediate. The transmission is either a paddle shift or fully automatic. You are able to mix them at any time you wish. Very smooth shifting. The car is responsive to all commands you make of it. Breaking and acceleration, are both excellent. The maneuverability is superb. It turns crisp and sharp with infinite accuracy.

I spent hours behind the steering wheel in this automobile and never tired of the thrill of driving it. The amenities are plentiful including Adaptive Cruise Control. For longer trips, a great asset for the ease of driving. The craftsmanship and quality of workmanship is evident in the pride of the employees who built this car.

In my opinion, this is a fine automobile and definitely allows you to experience the excellent quality of the car.

Capacitors for Energy Saving Brakes

To save power drawn from the kinetic energy when the car is braking, Mazda does not use batteries, but capacitors. In fact, the capacitor can only store electricity in a short time or temporary. Meanwhile, longer battery life.

However, capacitors have kelebihanm capable of storing electricity (filled) in quick time with a large capacity. In addition, durability or shelf life longer than batteries. Well, the excess that's what Mazda used at once claimed as the first car manufacturer in the world that uses capacitors to recycle ualang energy when the car brakes.

This new technology called the Mazda with the 'i-ELOOP' (and rectify faults were written yesterday 'i-LOOP') which was adapted from the "Intelligent Energy Loop" or recycle energy.

Without Motor and Battery
According to Mazda this system works more efficient in converting kinetic energy into electricity when the car brakes. Diperolehm electricity used to operate the air conditioning (climate control), audio and a host of other electrical components in cars.

Today, most car manufacturers recycle the energy or perform regenerative braking when the car by using the motor / alternator (motor that also functions as an alternator) and batteries. Both components have their respective duties.

The goal, to save energy by recycling of this brake, to save fuel consumption Baan sekaigus reduce carbon dioxide pollution (CO2). In particular, when the car used in a growing city in the pestle and the frequency of the traffic 'stop and go' grow taller.

In conventional systems, use an electric motor or alternator to generate electricity. In hybrid cars, electric motor and battery size are larger in size.

With capacitors, according to Mazda, the electric motor and batteries are not needed anymore. Only used 12 volt alternator voltage, electric double layer capacitor with low barriers and converters DC / DC. 'I-ELOOP' began working to recover kinetic energy when the driver took his foot off the accelerator or the car began to slow.

EDLC
Next use the alternator to the voltage change has resulted in the highest 25-volt electric (the method is considered more efficient) and after it was sent to a type of Electric Double Layer Capacitors (Electric Double Layer Capacitor: EDLC) to be stored.

These capacitors developed specifically (use in car) and can be fully charged in seconds. Furthermore, electricity from the capacitor voltage is lowered from 25 volts to 12 volts by the converter DC / DC. After that distiribusikan directly to the car electrical components or to charge a car battery if necessary.

'I-ELOOP' work when the car brakes, reducing the need for the engine to burn fuel and, in addition to generating electricity. In the state of "stop and go", the fuel consumption can be diirit to 10 percent. According to Mazda, the use of 'i-coupled with the technology' i-stop idling ', a system that prolong the period of the machine dies. Planned, this technology began to be used for cars produced by Mazda in 2012.

Milan - legendary racer, Giacomo Agostini, 69, judge not need to find a scapegoat for the accident suffered by the Italian, Marco Simoncelli, on the last Sunday in Sepang Circuit, Malaysia. "Accidents often happen during the race. Unfortunately, yesterday's fatal accident," said Agostini, who won 15 times motor racing, told RAI Radio, Tuesday, October 25, 2011.

In the accident, driver team San Carlo Honda Gresini 24-year-old was killed by injuries to the head, neck, and chest.

Agostini rate, the protection available to the drivers at this time is more than adequate. Especially when compared with the facilities available in his day, namely the drivers wearing only a thin uniform with a helmet too small and the limiting trajectories are made ​​of concrete. As a result, many of his fellow racers are dead.

While at this time, the drivers have been protected by a strong uniform, full helmet, back buffer, and the edge of a broad path to anticipate if the drivers off track. "But while the bike weighs 150 pounds hit you with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, yes, there is no adequate protection." In the case of Simoncelli, two motors as well as a hit.

Agostini suggested a softer type of tires used for racing. "So, starting mid-race, the tires will close by itself," he said. Currently, the MotoGP race tires, which are relatively hard with stable quality from start to finish the race. Tire manufacturers make this at the request of the drivers, who want to race go on steadily. "Unfortunately, that means, if the reduced tire grip, the tires will slip and drop the driver suddenly."

In this way, only those who really want to have a motorcycle that wants to buy with a down payment of it. Exemplified, if the price of Rp15 million motorcycle, then the deposit should be Rp 3 million.

Further, with a low down payment, such as Rp1 million, a lot of speculation. "Especially before Lebaran. If they can not continue the mortgage, leasing them back. Under conditions of a motorcycle with a low down payment, the buyer does not continue the mortgage ratio is high, namely 20 percent, "Dyon beber.

Further He said there was no agreement among members of the Indonesian Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI) for making the lowest down payment standard. "Not all agreed," Dyon said.
