UP - November 30, 2009. This is what you get with the Autonews.TV December-edition: The development of a sports car like the Mercedes SLS AMG is a complex process starting quite easy with a few lines on a white sheet of paper. But it is a long way until the first official roll-out. Many computersimulations and real-life test-drives had to be done. Volkswagen demonstrates "BlueMotion Technologies" and how to detremin the way into the "ElectroCar Ages". A whole lot of petrol-, diesel- and natural gas-engines gets more economic and cleaner by dedicated down-sizing. The Polo (3.3 ltr/100km), the Golf (3.8 ltr/100km) nd the Passat (4.4 ltr/100km) are masterpiecees of efficiency among their competitors. The Porsche Boxster Spyder is the latest top-model of the Boxster range, which had its debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show. The new middle-engine roadster is light, strong, consequently open and of high efficiency. On the other hand the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is the first Sports Activity Coupé in the world with a Full-Hybrid powertrain. The combination of a petrol V8 and an electro motor creates a sensible plus of dynamics as well as a reduction of fuel and emissions of about 20 percent. and last but not least demonstrates the scooter BMW C1-E with electro motor how to play the trick on traffic jams and congestion.
