terior Sketches with a never ever seen MG sports car

terior Sketches with a never ever seen MG sports carAs the title says, we got some very interesting sketches with a never ever seen sport car coming from the MG auto maker. There are more of them and not just one as it is usually happening so you can see this car from any angle excluding the interior, you can also see that one in the sketches when the roof of the car is down because that car is a convertible.

The all three cars are looking almost the same so you can consider that it is only a single car. Anyway, these sport cars are going to use the next generation TF architecture and also an engine developing between 120 and 180 horsepower

FORD KUGA 2010

FORD KUGA 2010FORD KUGA 2010
Bolt such a powerful 200PS engine into a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4 and, quite frankly, the result would be awful, at least when it came to going round corners. It says a great deal for the basic Kuga's dynamic excellence that that isn't the case here. The ride is reasonably firm and that helps the Kuga resist body roll when cornered vigorously, plus it's also less liable to become unsettled over bumps in the road. The accurate steering makes it easier to position the car too. Show this car a straight, well-surfaced road and it even serves up a good standard of ride comfort and refinement. Ford's marketing slogan for this car is 'feel the difference' and you absolutely can.

2012 Ford Focus

2012 Ford FocusThe U.S. Focus is dead. Next year, Ford obliterates the heaviest complaint levied at its lineup. Next year, Ford gives us a European Focus.

Well, it's technically a global car. As a 2012 model, the third-generation Focus, whether in four-door sedan or five-door hatchback form, will be nearly identical in all markets. Ford's European small and medium vehicle center in Germany led development. Powertrain engineering occurred in Ford's technical center in England. Ford put its European driving dynamics specialists in charge of ride and handling. This is as European as it gets.
2012 Ford FocusBut there's better news: Ford says it's using identical chassis and suspension architecture in all markets, except for minor regional tuning differences. That means the torque vectoring Dynamic Cornering Control system - added by those special driving dynamics folk - is coming our way. It transfers power between the drive wheels to reduce understeer, and improve traction and turn-in.
2012 Ford FocusThe rear suspension is an updated version of the independent multi-link (Ford calls it "Control Blade") found in previous Focus models. Torsional rigidity is up 25% over the current North American Focus, thanks to extensive use of high-strength steel (comprising 55% of the body shell). Ultra-high-strength and Boron steels account for 26%. Ford says these materials help the Focus meet crash legislation across world markets and minimize vehicle weight

Ford C-MAX 2011

Ford C-MAX 2011The Focus C-MAX was launched in 2003 to much acclaim. It gave rise to the larger S-MAX, a vehicle that has in turn influenced the new C-MAX.
With the advent of the new C-MAX, Ford decided to drop the ‘Focus’ name and make the car and the S-MAX a separate group of Multi Activity Vehicles or MAVs, at the same time taking the opportunity to give them a similar look.
The new C-MAX has a completely new front end in keeping with Ford of Europe’s ‘kinetic design’ philosophy, in simple terms that means that it should look as if it is moving even when it isn’t. I can’t think of any car that achieves that goal but the new C-MAX certainly has a more dynamic appearance than before.

2010 Ford Flex EcoBoost V6 - First Drive Review

2010 Ford Flex EcoBoost V6 - First Drive Review2010 Ford Flex Photo
We think the funky Ford Flex is comfortable and generally likable, but we’d hardly call it a performance vehicle. The newly available twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 doesn’t fundamentally change that, but it does at least add some performance to a crossover desperate for speed. As it turns out, a few other modifications help spice things up, too.

Even Heavier, Much Faster
The standard Flex might look like a wagon, but it drives like a crossover. It isn’t particularly quick, hitting 60 in 8.4 seconds, and although it handles relatively well, it isn’t terribly thrilling to toss around, due to numb steering and a base curb weight that tops 4800 pounds in all-wheel-drive guise. The Flex EcoBoost, available only with all-wheel drive, adds roughly another 200 pounds. But with 355 hp at 5700 rpm and 350 lb-ft of torque available from 1500 all the way to 5250 rpm—advantages of 93 hp and 102 lb-ft over the naturally aspirated Flex—it feels much, much quicker.

We didn’t have a chance to strap test equipment to the Flex on our initial drive in mile-high Boulder, Colorado, but Ford claims a 0-to-60 time of 6.8 seconds. Our recent test of the Lincoln MKT, which shares the Flex’s platform and EcoBoost powertrain, resulted in a 0-to-60 figure of 6.1 seconds, so we think Ford may be sandbagging a bit.

The blown engine is complemented by the same six-speed automatic transmission found in the standard Flex, only it’s enhanced with an overdrive lockout mode with hill descent control, as well as a true manual shift mode. Self-shifting is done via steering-wheel paddles shaped exactly like those on a BMW 3-series, a surprisingly sporty touch for a Brady-grade family hauler. (It’s too bad about the cheap black plastic in which they’re rendered.) Speaking of grades, the overdrive lockout mode’s hill descent control automatically downshifts into an appropriate gear for engine braking when the shifter is set in “M” and the brake is held for a half-second or so.

The hill-descent control works well even while pulling a 2500-pound trailer, which the Flex did with incredible ease at the 7000-plus-foot altitudes we experienced in Colorado. As a forced-induction motor, the EcoBoost V-6 is innately thin-air friendly, which helps explain—but in no way tarnishes—the fact that the Flex EcoBoost proved more adept at light towing than the Chevy Suburban, Toyota Sequoia, and GMC Acadia that Ford brought along for comparison.

But the story of the Flex EcoBoost is not merely one of flexing muscle. The suspension is revised with stiffer springs and revised dampers, which serve to lower the vehicle by 0.4 inch and deliver a nice, taut ride that remains delightfully free of harshness. Roadholding was impressive as we hustled through mountain passes. We did notice a bit of a low rumble emanating from the rear of the vehicle during high-speed cruising, however, as well as a bit of wind noise from the A-pillars—no doubt a byproduct of the tall windshield, which is also responsible for ending many a bug’s life (in a splat, not even a smear).

The standard Flex has a hydraulic power-steering system which we don’t particularly like; it’s replaced in the EcoBoost model by an electric power-assisted system that we also don’t particularly like, owing to its having more or less the same lack of feel. The EcoBoost’s electrically operated system does allow for two noteworthy pieces of technological innovation: an active straight-line assistance feature that countersteers automatically in the face of crosswinds and crowned road surfaces and a sonar-based self-parallel-parking system that absolutely shames the slow and sloppy camera-based self-parking technology currently offered in certain Lexuses.
