<b><i><a href="https://performanceautocars.blogspot.com/2018/08/2018-kia-stinger.html" target="_blank">2018 Kia Stinger</a></i></b> At an event usually dominated through introductions from American auto corporations, Kia Motors America (KMA) stole the highlight with the sector debut of the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger on the 2018 North American International Auto Show. A 5-passenger fastback sports sedan poised to redefine a segment presently populated by European automakers, the Kia Stinger guarantees to be the highest-performance production vehicle inside the organisation's records and is backed with the aid of Kia Motors' industry-main pleasant and reliability. Offered with a couple of engine and drivetrain configurations and luxurious lodges, the Kia Stinger is planned to move on sale in the U.S. In late 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Unlike any Kia that has come earlier than it, the Stinger truely is a dream car for us, and right here these days in Detroit, that dream is now a truth after years of dedication and hard work from a passionate institution of designers, engineers and executives round the sector," said Orth Hedrick, vp, product making plans, Kia Motors America. "From its GT concept-car origins to the years of tuning and refining on the legendary Nurburgring circuit, no detail became too small to be obsessed over, and the result is truly beautiful."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instantly recognizable as an instantaneous evolution of the idea that preceded it, the all-new 2018 Kia Stinger layout turned into overseen by using Peter Schreyer, Kia Motors' leader layout officer, and his proficient crew of designers in Frankfurt. Ride and managing improvement became taken care of via Albert Biermann, head of Kia's Vehicle Test and High Performance Development and his organization of engineers in Korea and at the grueling Nurburgring racing circuit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But what makes a true gran turismo? This question changed into the inspiration for a years-lengthy adventure that began whilst the GT concept became first unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Although every Kia design look at has a purpose, the GT idea turned into some thing considered by using many outside the business enterprise as little greater than a dream for a emblem recognised for producing mass-market transportation rooted in cost. But the GT ignited embers of ardour that sparked a fireplace within the organisation and over the subsequent five years that fireplace might develop past fable and morph into fact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the Kia Stinger changed into inexperienced lighted, that gran turismo question became a mantra as improvement began. Coming from Kia, the layout needed to be ambitious. And it became. But it additionally needed to be nimble and rapid whilst additionally expensive and quiet. It had to obtain the correct stability of experience and managing and seat 5 without problems with room for baggage. It needed to be loads of factors, however maximum of all, it had to be an authentic gran turismo. And it's far.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Design</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turning a concept into a manufacturing vehicle is no small challenge and Schreyer seemed no similarly than Kia's Frankfurt studio - the birthplace of the GT concept - to convey the Stinger to lifestyles. "A authentic gran turismo, a car for lively lengthy-distance driving, isn't about outright power, difficult-edged dynamics and brutal styling, all at the fee of luxurious, consolation and style," notes Gregory Guillaume, leader fashion designer, Kia Motors Europe. "The Stinger has not anything to do with being the primary to arrive at the vacation spot - this car is all about the adventure. It's about passion."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From its glossy front clip through its svelte flanks, and as much as its effective haunches, the Kia Stinger exudes a muscular self belief. Key to its avenue presence are the rear-wheel-power proportions; a protracted hood and short front overhang, an prolonged wheelbase to deliver a spacious cabin, and a protracted rear overhang with sturdy shoulders.

Created from a clean sheet of paper, the IE is the start of the subsequent chapter of Apollo. Our flagship hyper-vehicle that represents the ethos of the logo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the start, our team set out to build a vehicle that is lightweight, aerodynamically green and connected, however unimpeded via any emotionally dilutive technological systems. During the direction of reaching this intention we poured in heart and soul, sweat and tears. The adventure itself was intensely emotional.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The IE is a superleggera that combines the aerodynamic performance and mechanical grip of a present day GT1/GT3/LMP race car with the classical thrill of a high-revving naturally aspirated V12. This automobile has an organic granularity that other contemporary hyper-motors strive for, however are not able to deliver. All this while providing a current, intensively placing design language that symbolizes the brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a car that captures the misplaced emotion and fading spirit of the automobiles we develop up loving.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A car with its very own soul. A car that provides the driver with modern, but nostalgically pure, unadulterated sensory experience. A vehicle this is gasoline for the senses. A car that lives and breathes with extreme emotion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is Intensa Emozione. This is the Apollo IE.</div>

Quite literally, "Intensa Emozione" method severe emotion. These easy words convey top notch significance - they're the spine of the whole thing we do, they describe the journey we trekked, they're the very last made of our passion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We need Apollo to be called a brand with ardour, perfect and demands. Not handiest have we constructed a hyper-car with global class overall performance, but we made sure that this machine is a true event to power. Our extreme feelings inspired and stimulated us.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>DESIGN</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Apollo IE embarks on a brand new chapter to ground an intensively hanging design language that symbolizes the brand. Pushing the limits of design, engineering and great packages of wonderful materials. The IE's radical frame surfaces are sculpted for great performance and distinctly optimized functionality, reflecting and inspired via tactile fighter jets to apex predators along with sharks and raptors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The body of the IE narrates the language of the movement of airflow. The idea of the IE is to pierce via and manage the air round and additionally via the automobile. The convergence of the body panels illustrates radical depth of surfaces and beautiful continuity of the body lines. A slender teardrop shaped glass house allows the IE to achieve its lovely, ambitious and balanced proportions. Acuate creases and exposed wheels allows particular streamlining of airflow whilst ensuing in a light-weight appearance grounded by using effective stance. Structural supports inclusive of the rear spine and wing mounts are designed in order to acquire and sustain over 1350 kgs of downforce.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every part of the Apollo IE is designed for rather useful purposes with an intensive technique on style. Prominent elements such as the placing shark like nose, one of a kind facet aero fins, huge angled wing mounts and the trident exhausts, make it right away recognizable as an Apollo.</div>

From the early degrees of this undertaking we knew that we wanted and had to continue to be real to our middle. We wanted to create a modern chassis for the subsequent-generation. Utilizing superior technologies and composite materials we have been capable of create a country of the artwork, bespoke, all-carbon fibre chassis which allows for maximum torsional stress, safety and the ability to create a light-weight and aerodynamically green shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The chassis consists of not handiest a carbon monocoque, however also contains carbon fibre the front and rear subframes. This has allowed us to create extra organic surfaces and a tighter packaging, which in go back has a high-quality correlation to its sturdy aerodynamic performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The whole chassis, along with the monocoque, the front and rear subframes has a complete weight of a mere 105kg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>SAFETY</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Safety stays the maximum importance to us and with that in mind nothing changed into sacrificed. The Apollo IE capabilities bespoke carbon fiber the front crash systems, which up until today, have usually been reserved for simplest the pinnacle of motorsports inclusive of Formula One.</div>

In assessment with Fiat Punto, Fiat Argo had a 7% growth in torsional tension and an eight% growth in flexural stiffness, ensuing in increased power, safety and durability.</div>

<b><i><a href="https://performanceautocars.blogspot.com/2017/04/2017-acura-nsx.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2017 Acura NSX</a></i></b> The Acura NSX turned into created to revolutionize supercar overall performance, handing over a greater brilliant, immediately and intuitive dynamic experience with on the spot acceleration, extremely-powerful but easily managed brakes, and amazing managing-making the most of the driving force's abilities in every type of riding surroundings and profitable the most skillful drivers with its fantastic at-the-restriction dynamic competencies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Ultimate Structural Rigidity</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like the authentic Acura NSX-the arena's first all-aluminum supercar-the all-new NSX has a modern structure: its multi-cloth body and space body utilize new substances and construction methods to create a shape with unparalleled dynamic tension.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Low and Centered Mass</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new Acura NSX "advanced sports activities bundle" is a design philosophy that seeks to optimize the layout and packaging of all primary automobile systems-the body, chassis, interior, Sport Hybrid energy unit (engine, Direct Drive Motor and 9DCT) and key hybrid components including the Intelligent Power Unit (containing the lithium-ion battery p.C.), PDU and the TMU-to lower and middle the mass of the vehicle for most suitable coping with and dynamic reaction. The new NSX has the bottom middle of gravity (CG) among its middle competition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The low CG and centered mass pay dividends in dealing with and response. Biasing the mass closer to the middle of the NSX reduces the polar moment, making the auto reply (yaw charge) quicker to steerage inputs and lowering its rotational kinetic strength. In other words, it is less difficult to initiate a flip, and easier to forestall the rotation. The low CG also reduces the dynamic load switch, therefore stabilizing the vertical load on the tires.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The payoffs are short and precise response to motive force inputs, minimum unwanted frame movement, and stable tire grip-as a consequence raising the overall performance stages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>A Tight Grip at the Road</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Acura NSX's the front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension systems had been designed to guide the acute dynamic wishes of this precise supercar, and paintings in perfect harmony with SH-AWD and all other structures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An superior double-joint front suspension layout removes torque steer and steerage kickback. The rear multi-hyperlink suspension offers high lateral stress to react faithfully to motive force inputs and hold balance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Third-generation magnetorheological (MR) dampers continuously alter damping forces in fractions of a 2d, right away adapting to the using scenario, driving force inputs and street conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The system continues the precise layout geometry to extract the maximum grip and manipulate from the tires. Agile at low speeds, but supremely strong and predictable at excessive speeds, the NSX faithfully translates the motive force's inputs and continually converting avenue surfaces for remaining coping with performance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Forged light alloy wheels with excessive lateral stiffness wrapped in 245/35ZR19 the front and 305/30ZR20 rear tires provide the NSX's interface with the street. Standard high overall performance summer tires (Continental Conti-Sport Contact) provide remarkable dry and wet weather coping with and traction. The mixture become tuned drastically in a joint attempt with Continental to work in unison with the NSX chassis and SH-AWD structures to offer advanced traction and grip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Track-focused ultra-high performance summer tires, with accelerated grip stages and even higher response characteristics are available as a provider installed options.</div>

<b><i><a href="https://performanceautocars.blogspot.com/2017/02/2017-acura-mdx.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">2017 Acura MDX</a></i></b> Building on the refreshed and boldly restyled 2017 Acura MDX and employing the innovative three-motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD™) powertrain technology that was introduced in the RLX sedan and advanced in the 2017 NSX supercar, the 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid is Acura's first-ever hybrid SUV and the technological flagship of the Acura SUV lineup.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid is engineered for customers who desire the ultimate in driving refinement, technological sophistication and prestige in a three-row Acura SUV. The MDX Sport Hybrid takes full advantage of the immediate, high-torque performance of its three powerful electric motors, along with the always-on capabilities of electric torque vectoring, to substantially improve fuel efficiency and expand dynamic performance for the luxury SUV customers' everyday driving needs - all without sacrifice to interior space or cargo volume.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unique elements of the MDX Sport Hybrid's design and engineering versus its non-hybrid counterpart include the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain with three electric motors and 7-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT), and advanced Electro Servo braking system, new and model-exclusive Active Damper technology, and an expanded-range Integrated Dynamics System with new SPORT+ mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover, the Integrated Dynamics System engages with numerous different dynamic systems within the vehicle, including its electric motors, throttle, steering, transmission and Active Dampers, to provide the driver with an expanded range of selectable performance characteristics to suit their varied driving needs and desires. (See Chassis section for more detail on the Integrated Dynamics System)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is offered in two grades: the MDX with Technology Package and the MDX with Advance Package. Both grades have exclusive interior trim and the Advance package features wood interior accents. The MDX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD with the Technology Package includes versatile seating for seven passengers, while the Advance Package features a 6-passenger interior with second-row captain's chairs and large second-row center console in place of a three-person bench seat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Powertrain</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid powertrain boasts a total system output of 321 horsepower and 289 lb.-ft. of torque, making this the most powerful Acura production SUV ever built. A 3.0 liter, 24-valve, SOHC V6 gas engine with i-VTEC® valvetrain and selectable idle-stop capability provides primary motive force, with a peak output of 257 horsepower (SAE net) at 6,300 rpm and 218 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE net) at 5,000 rpm. Three electric motors - a front motor built into the 7DCT, and a rear Twin Motor Unit (TMU) provide instant torque for a more responsive and vivid driving experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An advanced 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7DCT) is standard - a feature in common with the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD sedan and closely related to the NSX 9-speed DCT. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission, the DCT offers ultra-quick gear changes and operates without a torque converter, significantly improving efficiency. The 7DCT can operate in fully automatic mode, or it can be shifted manually via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hybrid powertrain also features several advancements as part of the on-going development of Acura hybrid technology, including improvements in cooling and packaging of the IPU and PCU, as well as increased hybrid battery power density.</div>
