RUF:Electric Porsche 911

Ruf Electric Porsche 911(997)Few weeks ago we said that RUF, the German tuner specialized in Porsche vehicles is currently developing a new electric Porsche (we talked about a Cayman but it seems things are changed! ). Well, the waiting is over and today the manufacturer unveiled its masterpiece.


The new battery pack of the vehicle weighs almost 550 kg (the car features 96 battery cells and each of them weighs 5.6 kg) and is provided by Axeon, a supplier of lithium-ion battery solutions.


If we listen to the manufacturer, each cell should provide 160 amps for an hour, providing a top speed for the 1.900 kg vehicle of 224 km/h (139 mph). Driven normally, the car should have a range of 250-300 km (155-180 miles).


Although is still a concept, the new electric Porsche 911 (997) features a 204 hp (150kW) electric engine which is capable to provide an astonishing 650 Nm of torque and a sprint from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 7 seconds.

Citroën C3 Picasso Showcases Second Generation Stop & Start

Citroën was the first manufacturer to introduce Stop & Start with combined alternator-starter on its C2 and C3 models, some four years ago. Independent testing proved it could give a 27% fuel saving in urban traffic by turning off the engine as the vehicle comes to a halt and then instantly restarting it as soon as the brake pedal is released.


Citroën is to launch a second generation of its pioneering Stop & Start technology. Previewed on a striking pearlescent white and orange C3 Picasso at the Paris motor show, the new micro-hybrid system will be introduced in 2010 and will be available on a range of petrol and diesel models.

The special show car offers even better economy than the standard model with almost 70mpg on the combined cycle as well as low CO2 emissions of just 110g/km thanks to the new Stop & Start technology and six-speed EGS (Electronic Gearbox System). When the new C3 Picasso is launched in 2009, diesel versions will be fitted with a Particulate Filter System and will meet the Company’s green ‘Airdream’ criteria.


The new-generation Stop & Start system will retain the combined alternator-starter unit, which provides quiet, smooth and almost instantaneous restarts, and will produce even better fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Improving the system’s environmental performance further, the new generation Stop & Start will also recover energy during braking and deceleration to recharge the vehicle’s battery without consuming fuel.

Benzs.blogspot_I-WAY lets you become Lewis

Citroen’s first dabble into the world of online racing has been pretty successful. Except that is for the small matter of the fact that you’ll end up driving the car on your TV from nothing more sporty than your armchair.

Help is at hand however, from what might just be the ultimate big boys club.

I-WAY is situated in Lyon, France, and much like many a posh gym it offers an extravagant place to work out, spa and restaurant.

What makes it different is that it also offers the most comprehensive motor sport simulators outside of an F1 team.

Choose from a single seater, rally or endurance car, and enjoy piloting your virtual racecar while being thrown about courtesy of some feisty looking hydraulic rams. And yes, competition overalls and helmets are obligatory.

If you’re in the hood, prices start at €60 for the endurance car, rising to €75 for the rally car and €90 for the F1 racer. Or why not try them all for €200? Sign me up.
