Sling Shot Concept which debut has taken place on the International Autoshow ’ 04 in Chicago, is the continuer of traditions of first double concept Dodge Razor. As well as its predecessor, Sling Shot is small open double the sport penalties, intended for daily use. Focused obviously on youth, it simple, maneuverable and fervent, but the main thing – practical and “cool”. When describe the “cheerful” car, usually mean steering. In company Dodge it perfectly understand, and consequently in a rear compartment of the car the 3h-cylinder engine by power 100 h.p. is installed – it is known, that the engines installed behind, raise roadability of the car.
The engine is insignificant, but after all and the machine very economic: fuel consumption on 100 km – 5,2 litres. Thus, no “wretchedness” is present, and thanks to small weight dispersal from zero to 100 km/h demands 10 seconds Meanwhile Sling Shot – simply concept car, therefore is not present any concrete information either on options, or on the price or a date started of serial release.
Concept Dodge Hornet is an embodiment of the American representation about cars of class B. Founders present it as the dynamical and pleasant car in steering with the developed possibilities of transformation of interior. Special value is given a car interior, the non-standard approach to the organisation of internal space is applied. The rear seat develops in a proportion 40:60 and if to combine all seats, including driver’s, we will receive an equal platform. The bodies placed on corners 19-inch wheels give to the car original and live shape.
Such decision also positively affects capacity of interior, and for the maximum simplification of access to it doorways are made as much as possible big. In addition, rear doors open in opposite to a course of movement the party. All it will allow possible future owners to use the car as well as the family car. Daddies remain of 1,6 l are happy and the 4-cylinder gasoline engine located under a cowl in volume., which, thanks to a mechanical supercharger, develops completely not “family” power of 170 h.p. and a twisting moment in 224 Nanometers, transferred through a 6-step mechanical gear box on front wheels. In the given kind the concept, most likely, will not appear on roads of the general using, but chances of occurrence tiny Dodge ` and for Europe are high enough.
Concept car Dodge Challenger shown in January on a motor show in Detroit later of 35 years revives truly American muscle car and continues traditions of engines Hemi. Recently Tom LaSorda, the president of concern Chrysler, has officially given green light to the given project. The serial car should appear in 2007.
The long cowl, low roof and characteristic silhouette of a two-door body make related the car with one of most cult “ponies-karov” of 70th years. The car interior also transfers atmosphere of those years though it is executed on modern manners. In what the car differs from the predecessor so it at a rate of wheels – different diameter, 20-inch in front and 21-inch behind, they at all do not remind the classical. The cowl of the concept car with two cuts of air intakes hides under itself 6,1-litre Hemi V8, developing 425 h.p. and installed on model of SRT-series. Through a 6-step mechanical gear box the engine transfers pull-rod to rear wheels. Dispersal to 100 km/h occupies 4,5 seconds, and a “classical” American distance in a quarter of mile the car passes for 13 seconds.
