Fourth Generation C-Class soon to hit showrooms

The C-Class has been the best-selling model of Mercedes-Benz manufacturer of top-line Mercedes C230 parts for the past 25 years. This is also why, when the entry of the fourth generation C-Class was announced, Mercedes had to take into account the traditional owners and at the same time try to attract young buyers who are more interested in sports sedan. To solve this problem the 2008 C-Class that hit showrooms Canadians have two models appearing distinctly different. The new models are based on the 3.0 liter DOHC V6 model called the C300 and C300 Sport, while the C350 Sport was based on the 3.5 liter DOHC V6. The models are identified by different grade they have. The C300 and C350 are identified by their classic louvered grille that is designed to attract buyers conservative. Moreover, the Sport C300 and C350 Sport is due to the large ring with three-pointed that begin to be used exclusively reserved for their most high-performance two-door cars such as the SL. The overall style clues were obtained from the CLS premium luxury sedan with a wave of rising from the hood that flows over the concave roofline to a swooping rear deck. The aggressive looking Sport can also be fitted with an AMG sport package that includes lower front and rear aprons and side skirts. For Europe there would be eight models that will include three diesel engines and which does not include whatever AMG, Mercedes-Benz at home tuner company does. However, the company ensures that customers who prefer its AMG as an AMG Mercedes C-Class with a 5.5 liter or 6.3 liter V8 is possible. The pricing of the fourth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Canada is scheduled to hopefully released by the end of August. But unlike the current model of the fourth generation will be slightly higher prices. Just as Canada has done to Mercedes-Benz E-Class with last year, more content will also be added, but with the same price as the previous model. Both C-Class models will employ V6, quad came engines of 3.0 liters and 3.5 liters, respectively. The 3.0 liter produces 231 hp and 300 lb / ft of torque, while the 3.5 liter revs up to 272 hp and a full 350 lb / ft of torque. A diesel-Class C can also be made by the end of this year and hopefully will come equipped with eco-friendly BlueTec V6. It would be better than the Mercedes-Benz can couple to their gasoline engines with a speed of seven electronic automatic transmission. There is already a six-speed manual offered on the C280 in Europe. The 3.0 liter engine allows the C-Class to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in only a matter of 7.3 seconds. Tops its speed is 250 km / h and record a fuel economy of 9.4L/100 km combined city / highway. The 3.5 liter can sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in almost one second to 6.4 seconds with top speed limited to 250 kph, with an estimated fuel rating is 9.7L/100 km. The suspension is the same for both the three links on the front plus coil springs and stabilizer bar. Shocks of gas has a scale-dependent damping system called Agility Control that stabilizes the body of the vehicle no matter how hard are the shocks, or even when the shocks are not working properly. The rear suspension is the latest innovation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz multi-link independent system. She has two anti-squat and anti-dive built in which means that the rear vai not go down because the gas is hit and will not go up when the brakes are applied. The gas shocks also have amplitude-dependent damping and a heavy stabilizer bar. And, probably, released for next year is the Advanced Agility package and thanks to computers-edge system provides a choice of tow gearshift / handling programs called Sport or Comfort. Although the system is complex meaning each damper is infinitely variable, but all four work together to provide quality ride and handling capabilities. In sport, the body is also lowered by 15 mm, while the transmission is remapped to sharp turns. Brakes are composed of four discs located in every corner, of course, most do not forget ABS, Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Control (ESP) and are offered as standard security features on all Mercedes-Benz cars.

Hennessey s SRT600 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

It& 39;s faster than a speeding Porsche Cayenne Turbo. He laughs in the face of a BMW X5 and sprints to 60 mph faster than a new Mustang GT. The new super car, the rowdy Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is equipped with a powerful 6.1 liter Hemi V8, delivering a powerful 420 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. This SUV family is undoubtedly the carrier is not your half SUV and you& 39;ll know soon enough, once you hear her roar throat since reaching a quarter mile in a matter of seconds by 13.5 truth is only a muscle car territory. Despite the power supplied by the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 still does not match the performance of the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe and for this very reason why the Hennessey Performance created the new package SRT600. The Hennessey Performance is the same people responsible for tuning up the Viper and given that always wants to create something more powerful than their previous masterpiece that has developed a performance package that will enable the Grand Cherokee SRT8 to finally defeat the ferocious Dodge Viper V10 in a 0 to 60 and quarter mile sprint. In fact this had already been complied with the new Hennessey SRT600 fortified Jeep, the Viper was overtaken by 60 mph half a second and cross the quarter mile finish line two tenths sooner that is much smaller and lighter Viper. Ever wondered whether the Saturn V added Jeep-like push comes? Instead of a solid rocket propellant, a large Garrett turbocharger has provided the impetus for a change of 6.1 liter V8. How did the Hennessey Performance accomplish this? First started by the elimination of stockpiles SRT8 V8 and tear it down to the cast iron cylinder block. After heavy bearings were added before the installation of aftermarket forged steel connecting rods, forged aluminum-9.5: 1 piston, and high performance piston rings. Hennessey has also changed the butts creating a full port to the intake and exhaust along the polished corridors with combustion chambers. And the air flow bench testing conducted by Hennessey ported heads flow 360 cfm at each port that the intake is about 60 cfm more stock. To further increase airflow to the cylinders of a single Garrett turbocharger that offers seven T4 psi push was added. The custom manufacturing stainless steel exhaust headers deliver to the turbo, then push it feeds through the 3.5-inch polished stainless steel tubes, a large front-mounted air-to-air exchanger aluminum and custom input full of twins billet aluminum tubes blow-up outside the valves. To maintain the momentum of turbo in check is a single 44 mm wastegate while the 180-degree thermostat Hemi aid to stay cool. Hennessey has also added a large volume of fuel pump that provides a continuous flow of gasoline also oversized fuel injectors and a special fuel-pressure regulator are being monitored by a computer program the custom of the engine. The result of all these processes is a 6.1 liter V8 that delivers 600 horsepower at 5200 rpm backed by 650 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. Such powerful torque requires a large amount of airflow engine driving the Hennessey to fit a dual three inches in diameter stainless steel exhaust system, high-flow mufflers, and a polished four inches in diameter exhaust tips. At rest, SRT600 is like a gentle lamb, but try to level the foot of the accelerator and wakes up in a monstrous beast. A word of caution: The SRT600 Hennessey Jeep SRT8 is not for the faint-hearted. Changes made in the Jeep SRT8 remained at a minimal level, which means that apart from the engine, the basic components of the SRT8 such as your Jeep fuel filter, factory specifications SRT Brembo disc brakes and not many more were altered. The exterior, however, was bolstered by the addition of some optional SRT600 insignia and 20x10.5-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in a Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires 295/30ZR20.
