Variable valve timing (VVT) is a system that adjusts the opening and closing of a car's valves based on engine speed and load. The goal of VVT is to improve performance, fuel economy, and emissions.

Vor einigen Jahren hätte man vermutlich nicht erwartet, dass auch in kleineren Fahrzeugklassen Hybridantriebe Einzug halten, dazu war die Technik eigentlich zu teuer. Aber nun finden sich diese Antriebe, die zu sehr sparsamen Verbräuchen führen, auch dort. Beispiel: Der Toyota Yaris Cross 1,5 VVT-ie  Hybrid. Darum geht es diesmal!Er wurde ohne Frage schon im ersten Verkaufsjahr zurecht zum „World Urban Car of the Year 2022“. 2023 wurden europaweit rund 200.000 Einheiten verkauft, dass der Wagen auch in Deutschland zu den Topsellern der Marke gehört, ist auch nicht weiter verwunderlich. Insgesamt wurde der Toyota Yaris Cross mittlerweile zum meistverkauften Toyota Modell in ganz Europa. Wir haben ihn als Yaris Cross 1,5 VVT-ie Hybrid getestet.Power und Drive!    Das City-SUV Yaris Cross ist genau wie sein Schwester- oder auch Basismodell sowohl mit 85 kW/116 PS, als auch mit 97 kW/130 PS verfügbar. In dieser Fahrzeugkategorie ungewöhnlich sind die zwei angebotenen Antriebsstränge. Zusätzlich können Kunden zwischen Vorderrad- und Allradantrieb wählen. Uns stand die 97 kW/130 PS Version zur Verfügung. Das ist die so genannte Systemleistung die sich aus einem 68 kW/92 PS starken VVT-i-Benzinmotor und einem 62 kW/84 PS starken Elektromotor zusammensetzt. Die beschleunigt den Wagen in 10,7 Sekunden von null auf 100 km/h, die Spitze wird bei 170 km/h erreicht. Im Fahrbetrieb wundert man sich, dass die Tanknadel sehr lange sehr weit oben bei „Voll“ stehen bleibt. Das liegt an dem sehr zivilen Umgang mit dem Kraftstoff, im kombinierten Verbrauch fließen zwischen 4,5-4,8 l/100 km durch die Brennräume, das ergibt dann CO2-Emissionen zwischen 101-109 g/km. Wie von Toyota gewohnt hat man den Wagen mit einer Fülle von Assistenzsystemen versehen. Dazu gehören das Pre-Collision Notbremssystem (PCS), die adaptive Geschwindigkeitsregelung (DRCC), der Spurverlassenswarner (LDA) ebenso wie Spurhalteassistent (LTA), Verkehrszeichenerkennung (RSA), Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer, Notfall-Bremssystem (EDSS), Fernlichtautomatik (AHB), Adaptiver Fernlichtassistent (AHS) und Proaktiver Fahrassistent (PDA). Die weitere Serienausstattung müssten Sie dann selbst nachlesen, dazu fehlt uns hier die Zeit. Die Kosten!Obwohl der Toyota Yaris Cross sehr ordentlich ausgestattet ist, steht er zu einem moderaten Preis beim Händler. Generell ist der Wagen ab 28.540, - Euro verfügbar, unsere Variante startete mit 30.590, - Euro. Das ist angesichts seiner Ausstattung absolut angemessen.

In de laatste PZC Voetbal Podcast van 2024 schuift Terneuzen-voetballer Bert den Hamer aan. Vanuit de kantine van rivaal Terneuzense Boys vertelt hij over zijn strijd tegen kanker die hij dit jaar moest voeren. Presentator Juriën Dam, sportjournalist Jan Dagevos én een live-publiek zijn z’n toehoorders. Den Hamer bracht vorig jaar december een bezoek aan de huisarts nadat een bobbel aan de buitenkant van zijn been wel hele grote vormen begon aan te nemen. Later bleek het om een kwaardaardige tumor van vetcellen te gaan. Achttien bestralingen en een operatie verder is daar het mooie nieuws dat Den Hamer schoon is verklaard. Onlangs maakte de ex-speler van onder meer Hoek en Kloetinge zelfs als aanvoerder zijn rentree in hoofdmacht van ‘VVT’. Verder komt de wedstrijd van Koewacht nog ter sprake, waar een 82-jarige scheidsrechter de leiding had. Dagevos spreekt van een soort ‘toveract’. Daarnaast gaat het over de vloek van de PZC Voetbal Podcast, de puike prestaties van de derdedivisonisten en natuurlijk komt Dagevos met meer duiding over het vertrek van Goes-trainer Dennis de Nooijer naar SteDoCo. Zou De Nooijer van de spelersgroep net zo’n origineel afscheidscadeau gaan krijgen als vertrekkend assistent-trainer Mario de Fouw? De uitzending vindt dus plaats in de kantine van Terneuzense Boys. Dit omdat de loting van het terugkerende Indoor Soccer Toernooi is gekoppeld aan de podcast, waarover mede-organisator Ludwig de Bruijn aan het einde nog komt vertellen.

Aftermarket warranties a bad bet? Good, fresh oil more critical than ever despite advances in engines. VVT, turbos, GDI and low-friction rings are picky. Are new car prices actually out of line relative to the 1980s? Ford, GM, Honda and more backtrack on EV plans. We love to hear from you! CarsThePodcast@gmail.com

In deze eerste aflevering van de CCE-podcast ExpertTales gaat Esmaralda van 't Net in gesprek met Amy van Doornmaal (Voorzitter sectie ouderenpsychologie bij NIP) en Henriëtte Ettema (programmaleider VVT bij CCE) over het boek "Gedragen - Mensgericht samenwerken rondom dementie"Het boek biedt zestien perspectieven van professionals op probleemgedrag bij mensen met dementie en benadrukt het belang van samenwerken en vertragen om tot duurzame oplossingen te komen. Amy en Henriëtte delen hun ervaringen en inzichten over de noodzaak van een waardegericht werken, een methodische aanpak en het betrekken van alle betrokkenen; van zorgteams tot mantelzorgers. 

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Well, I did it.  After 10 years I finally upgraded from my 2014 Amber Whiskey Street Glide Special to a 2024 Harley Davidson Street Glide in Whiskey Fire with chrome finishes.  I'm starting to think I have a thing for whiskey.  Anyway, we made a business decision to replace my 2014 with a 2024.  There have been enough changes that we can dig into the 2024 and provide you, the audience, with valuable information.  One such piece of info is our brand new tutorial on the Harley-Davidson Skyline Operating System.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE So if you listen to the podcast you heard me say that I would buy a new Street Glide if the 2024 models have come out with Variable Valve Timing (VVT).  What I learned from Harley engineers is that the VVT motor is extremely smooth and designed to tour.  The downside is it gets tricky to install cams and other motor upgrades.  I may never install a cam, but I want the ability to do so if I choose.  The non-VVT motor is a great base for those of us who want to upgrade our motors in our garages.   CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! It's been a while since I purchased a new bike at a dealership and I learned a few things to share with you.  I was offered something called Theft Protection.  One of the dealerships I was working with automatically added this to my purchase.  It is a clear dab of paint they place on different parts of your bike.  The clear paint contains micro dots with numbers and the paint glows under black light.  As a law enforcement officer (LEO) I can tell you that most LEOs have no idea of this and I can't tell you if this info is in an accessible database.   Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the recently released 2024 Harley-Davidson Touring Models.  Specifically the 2024 Road Glide, the 2024 Street Glide, and the 2024 CVO Road Glide ST.  I had the opportunity to ride these backs recently in Law Vegas at a Harley-Davidson media event. I learned quite a bit of information to pass along to you, the consumer.  In the episode, I get into motor size.  Variable Valve Timing (VVT) motors versus non-VVT motors, suspension, the new Skyline OS Operating System, performance parts, and more.  Hopefully, the info we provide will help you decide which bike is right for you.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The 2024 Road Glide and Street Glide only come in one model which we are referring to as the Standard model.  For the last several years you could purchase a standard model and a special model.  The standard model was more affordable but lacked many desirable items.  The special model cost more but had many upgraded items.  Now, the "standard" model comes with everything the special models of the past had.  The starting price point (chrome finishings) comes in at a price in between what the standard and special model cost.  One thing to note is black finishings and certain colors cost more.  The new "standard" model is a good starting platform to build from.  You can go the performance bagger or the long haul touring route with them.   The 2024 CVO Road Glide ST is an all-new model.  It is inspired by the King of the Baggers race series.  I've been predicting a bike like this for some time.  My prediction was wilder including mid controls for more lean angle allowing an amature racer to take it out on the track out of the box.  The CVO Road Glide ST has many race-inspired upgrades including carbon fiber parts, an M8 121 motor with upgrades, performance SHOWA suspension, radial Brembo brakes, special track modes, and more.   CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, you may want to know if you should buy a standard Road or Street Glide, or should you buy a CVO Road Glide ST?  Here is what I will say; look back on your last two years of riding and evaluate the type of riding you do.  The CVO ST may be the bike for you if want to haul ass and carve up the canyons.  Alternatively, the "standard" models may be best if you want to tour.  Ultimately you'll be happy if you purchase either.  Now, get out there and ride already!  New Free Video Mentioned:  Finding That Elusive Place We Seek!

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch, and we review the released 2024 Harley-Davidson Models.  We also give our predictions about what may or may not be released on January 24, 2024.  Harley is doing a virtual launch event on the 24th at 10 AM CST.  You can sign up for the event HERE.  We will put out a video and podcast following the virtual launch on the 24th.   Harley released some of the 2024 models via the website recently.  These are the bikes that are carryovers from 2023.  Our belief is they did this to keep dealers stocked with new bikes.  You see, in 2023 there were a couple of production shutdowns.  One was related to a defective brake line from a third-party provider and the other was due to a parts shortage.   SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Missing models (as of the date of this recording) from the 2024 lineup are the Fat Bob 114, all CVO models, all Street Glide models, all Road Glide models except the Limited, and the Pan America standard model.  So, one can infer there is going to be something new with the touring models and perhaps the Fat Bob 114. Ryan predicts the 107 Milwaukee 8 motor will be no more after this year.  He believes the 114" VVT motor will be in the special models along with the new dash and fairings.  He believes the standards will have the older Boom Box GTS unit and a smaller motor.  Ryan also believes that Harley will come out with a King of the Bagger model that is more track-ready than the ST models.  Lurch and Ryan predict that there will be a mid-sized Pan America.  Lastly, Ryan predicts that the long-awaited Bronx Street Fighter will come out sometime in 2024. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Lurch predicts the standard models of the Street Glide and Road Glide may be cut.  Last year there were many models of the Glides including the standard, specials, limited, STs, and CVOs.  That is a lot of models and in his opinion, the higher-level models are more coveted.  The standard glides not being a part of the pre-launch spurred Lurch's prediction.   Harley removed the surcharge imposed on new motorcycle sales.  The surcharge was instituted in July 2021 to combat production and shipping costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  In addition to the surcharge cancellation, a couple of models were slightly reduced in price; those being the Nightster and the Nightster Special.   NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Get In The Know Before Harley Releases 2024 Models!

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I recently traveled to Monterey, CA to test ride and review the new 2023 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide and Road Glide. There is way more than meets the eye and these motorcycles are completely redesigned, both aesthetically and in performance.  Lurch and I break down all the specs of the Harley-Davidson 2023 CVOs.  These 2023 Harley CVOs have a brand new Milwaukee-Eight 121 ci VVT (variable valve timing) engine, redesigned fairings, controls, handlebars, intake tract, air intake, water-cooled heads, radiator, electric fan, 12.3" infotainment system, new front and rear Showa suspension with preload and rebound damping adjustments, new radial-mounted 4-piston Brembo brakes, larger brake rotors, new wheels, LED lighting, and new storage, just to name a few things.  I was able to watch the King of the Baggers races at Laguna Seca.  It was awesome to witness the sound of the big V-twin engines screaming by.  If you haven't watched any of the races, you need to check it out.  You can watch them on MototAmerica.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE In this episode, I tell you everything you need to know about these new 2023 Harley-Davidson Street Glide and Road Glide CVOs. I also give you my thoughts and opinions while riding these bikes along the California coast.  I answer many of the questions you may have.  CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! One of the biggest questions is; are all these massive changes to the 2023 Harley CVOs going to show up on the 2024 regular touring models?

In this podcast, Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott ("Hyphen") cover everything you didn't realize you wanted to know about the R129-chassis Mercedes-Benz SL. The R129 comes in many forms: 300SL, 300SL-24, 500SL, 600SL, and then the renamed SL320, SL500, and SL600. It had three different body styles and two interiors thanks to two facelifts, three different transmissions in the U.S. — a 4-speed automatic, a 5-speed automatic, and a 5-speed dogleg manual transmission. And the 500SL/SL500 had 3 different engines: a CIS-E "K-Jetronic" tall-deck M119, a LH-Jetronic short-deck M119, both with 4 cams, 4 valves per cylinder, and VVT; and then a 2-cam, 3-valve, non-VVT M113. So which is the one to get? Which variants drive the best? Which R129s suffer from the dreaded wiring-harness failure? How much did Jason's 300SL 5-speed weigh? These are important questions. But the Carmudgeons also talk about the R129's fascinating development history including — why the car that Bruno Sacco himself described as "perfect" was 10 years late. They discuss the R129's world-firsts, like the first-ever fully automatic roof mechanism (and its failure-prone 11 hydraulic cylinders), the first-ever popup rollover protection, the world's first seat-mounted seatbelts (with magnesium-frame seats); and the first time the world ever saw a convertible wind deflector. The R129 was a technological tour de force, combined with a timelessly elegant and stunningly beautiful design and absolutely impeccable build quality, making it the high point of every generation of Mercedes SL — excepting of course the original W198 300SL Gullwing, which wasn't an SL at all. Huh? Yeah, you're going to have to watch the episode to figure that one out. The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Palantir ist ein Softwareunternehmen, das Unternehmen und Behörden zu einer bestimmten Art der Datennutzung befähigt. Dafür erntet das Unternehmen viel Kritik. Das ändert nichts an der Kompetenz des heutige Gastes, der neben der Pflicht zur Dokumentation nach Art. 30 Abs. 1 DSGVO zur Erstellung eines Verzeichnisses von Verarbeitungstätigkeiten auch Mehrwerte für das Unternehmen in so einer Übersiccht (VVT) sieht. Daher geben Heiko Gossen und sein Gast Philipp Wolf ein paar Impulse, um das "lästige" Thema Verarbeitungsverzeichnis mal neu zu denken.

Egal, welche Fahrzeugkategorie es sein soll, bei Toyota findet man für fast jeden Wunsch ein passendes Fahrzeug. Es soll sparsam sein, sportlich, gut aussehend, ideal auch in der Stadt zu nutzen und außerdem auch noch bezahlbar?  Dann sollten Sie sich mal den Toyota Yaris Hybrid GR Sport anschauen. Wir haben das schon mal für Sie getan! Darum geht es diesmal!Ausnahmsweise habe ich für Sie zum Beginn unserer aktuellen Fahrzeugvorstellung eine Bemerkung. Wir sprechen heute über den Toyota Yaris Hybrid GR Sport. Der ist nicht identisch mit dem GR Yaris, wobei das GR zwar in beiden Fällen für Gazoo Racing steht, die Leistungsausbeute ist aber unterschiedlich. Während der GR Yaris ein reinrassiges Sportfahrzeug ist, ist der Yaris Hybrid GR Sport eine zivilere Ausführung. Im Übrigen ist der GR Yaris aktuell auch ausverkauft! Das Outfit! Die Namensähnlichkeit zum GR Yaris ist allerdings berechtigt, denn die Motorsport-DNA des Yaris GR Sport ist sofort zu erkennen. Dafür sorgen der markante Kühlergrill, der Diffusor am Heck, die 18-Zoll-Leichtmetallfelgen mit roten Zierlinien und die exklusive Dynamic Grey Lackierung. Power und Drive!    Den Yaris GR Sport gibt es aktuell mit zwei Motorisierungen. Zum einen mit einem 1,5-l-VVT-i Benziner mit 92 kW (125 PS), zum anderen als Hybrid mit einer Systemleistung von 85 kw (116 PS), die von einem 68 kW (92 PS) starken Benzinmotor und einem 59 kW (80 PS) starken Elektromotor erzeugt werden. Diese Variante mit serienmäßigem stufenlosen Automatikgetriebe haben wir getestet.  Der Wagen ist mit dieser Antriebskonfiguration 175 Kilometer schnell, er beschleunigt in 9,7 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h. Der Verbrauch auf 100 Kilometer liegt kombiniert bei  4,9 Litern nach WLTP-Norm. Die Innenausstattung!Schaut man sich beim Toyota Yaris Hybrid GR Sport die Standardausstattung an, dann vermisst man nicht viel. Dinge wie das Smart-Key-System zum schlüssellosen Öffnen und Schließen des Fahrzeugs, die 2-Zonen Klimaautomatik, das 4,2" Multi-Info-Farbdisplay und die Sitzheizung für Fahrer und Beifahrer sind ebenso vorhanden wie das Multimedia – Audiosystem. Toyota Touch®, Myt Connected Services mit Parkpositionsfinder, Routenplanung, Inspektionserinnerung etc. und die Smartphone Integration von Apple CarPlay und Android Auto sind nur einige von vielen Features, die der GR Sport serienmäßig mitbringt. Die Kosten!Den Yaris als solchen bekommt man bereits ab 17.800,00 €, beim GR Sport geht es mit 25.940,00 € für den Benziner los, die Hybridversion kostet ab 28.840,00 €. Bei beiden Varianten kann man sich über das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis aber absolut nicht beklagen. Alle Fotos: ©  Toyota Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

The G35 - the third generation G-series sedan from Infiniti - was completely different. It was based on Nissan's FM or “Front Midship” platform, which allowed for the engine to be pushed back further toward the center of the chassis for better weight distribution and handling. The G35 was designed from the beginning to be a rear-wheel drive car with the superior handling dynamics that rear-wheel drive offers. There was also an all-wheel drive G35x version that featured a rear-biased AWD system. Finally, instead of a 4-cylinder, the G35 was fitted with Nissan's VQ-series 6-cylinder engine for substantially better performance. The G35 was so good, it was named Motortrend's Car of The Year for 2003 and it was also named to Car And Driver's 10-Best list for 2003 and 200404:55 - You Might Want An Infiniti G35 If...You love rear-drive handling dynamicsYou want a fun-to-drive vehicle, but you need to save moneyYou have considered a crossover, but you think it's a bad ideaYou want AWD that offers handling and driving dynamics06:10 - Infiniti G35 DetailsTransmission5-speed automatic was offered initially at launch 6-speed manual became available later in 2003Engine2003-2004 V6 Engine made 260-hp and 260-lb-ft of torque2005-2006 Automatic Transmission G35 engines were rated at 280-hp and 270-lb-ft of torque2005-2006 Manual Transmission G35 Engines were rated at 298-hp and 258-lb-ft of torque2005 and 2006 Manual transmission cars had a slightly different engine versus those fitted with automatics; manual cars had engines fitted with variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts, whereas automatic cars only have VVT on the intake side.

Un nuevo formato llega a AutoFM con estas audio pruebas donde os contamos lo más interesante de los coches que pasan por la redacción del programa. Y arrancamos con el espectacular Lexus LC 500 una bestia con motor V8 atmosférico de 477 CV. Un modelo cuyas increíbles formas no difieren mucho de las presentadas en el concept car LF-LC que conocimos en el Salón de Detroit de 2012. Hablamos de un modelo cargado hasta arriba de tecnología y que se fabrica en Motomachi. Hemos querido empezar por este modelo porque se trata de un coche exclusivo que en España sólo podrán disfrutar 20 afortunados. O seguramente menos porque esas son las unidades que llegarán sumando las dos carrocerías, cabrio y coupe. Por otra parte se trata de un modelo que está abalado por el propio CEO del Grupo Toyota, Akio Toyoda y que se enmarca en esa estrategia suya por la que los coches de Toyota y Lexus tienen que ser pasionales y divertidos de conducir. La mecánica de este Lexus LC 500 es sin duda uno de los puntos más destacados. Por prestaciones, por concepto y por el sonido tan sugerente que llega al habitáculo. Hablamos de un cabrio con motor V8 5.0 litros atmosférico desarrollado en su día para el Lexus IS F por Yamaha. Una mecánica casi de competición que no en vano se puede encontrar en las Toyota Hilux de rally raid que hemos visto en carreras como el Dakar. Concretamente este motor tiene una cilindrada de 4.969 cc, con culata de cuatro árboles de levas en cabeza y 32 válvulas. Además ofrece un sistema VVT-i de distribución y alzada de válvulas variable en continuo. Con todo ello y con una modificación de la admisión y del escape, el propulsor ofrece 477 caballos de potencia a 7.100 rpm y entrega 540 Nm a 4.800 rpm. Todos los LC 500 van asociados a un cambio automático de 10 marchas. Aunque es un coche que pesa casi dos toneladas su comportamiento es realmente deportivo y satisfactorio. Si bien es cierto que el tacto de frenos y dirección es más filtrado y burgués de lo que de un deportivo se espera. Por eso con el Lexus LC 500 estamos hablando más de un GT dispuesto a luchar contra un Mercedes SL 500 o un Maserati Gran Turismo que de un deportivo que ponga en aprietos a un Porsche 911 en una carretera de montaña. Sus números: acelera de 0 a 100 km/h en 4,7 segundos y cubre los 1.000 metros en 24 segundos. Mientras que su velocidad máxima es de 270 km/h (limitada electrónicamente). El PVP con impuestos asciende a 155.000 euros.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注早在去年的11月，丰田就举办了一场线上发布会，虽然发布会的内容可以说是和他们旗下很多家用车一样无聊，但当他们宣布将旗下高性能品牌“GR”引进中国，并同时将新一代SUPRA一起带入国内市场的时候，我看到沉寂已久的弹幕瞬间爆炸，尽管当时发布会上并没有宣布SUPRA的定价，反而是在大聊特聊所谓的情怀，但GR SUPRA的消息还是让不少喜爱JDM的车迷们眼前一亮，甚至很多人猜测会不会跟着GR SUPRA的脚步，丰田还会把GR雅力士和GR 86带进来。为什么人们对于“GR”这个名头那么追捧，其实就是因为丰田GR就相当于奔驰AMG，是一个高性能的代名词，并且在之前的海外市场里，GR一直都不会像奔驰AMG那样把自己的调性拉那么高，反而出品的车子都挺亲民，所以吸引了不少粉丝。不过，就在发布会几个月之后，SUPRA的定价终于出来了，2.0T版本49.6万，价格甚至比同平台的宝马Z4 2.0T还贵；3.0T版本62.6万，比Z4便宜那么一点点……这个价格也直接让我大喊一声“好家伙”，丰田是真的敢定。而相比于丰田这种有些傲娇的定价，这台SUPRA在市场终端的行情就显得有些不可理喻了，我咨询了一下熟悉的销售，发现这台车目前配额只有可怜的300台，想要买车基本上都要加价8-10万，也就是说2.0T裸车接近60万，3.0T裸车突破70万……当然，相比于之前通过平行进口方式进来，定价85-90万的SUPRA，这个中规版本的定价似乎已经算是在JDM情怀粉面前“低头”了。所以，今天我们就聊一聊这台重生的“牛魔王”——丰田SUPRA。新一代SUPRA是一款什么样的车？从外观上来看，新一代SUPRA作为一款2门2座的硬顶跑车，长宽高分别为4381/1867/1310mm，轴距为2470mm，这个体型其实和丰田86/斯巴鲁BRZ这两台小跑车差不多。但是，抛开尺寸不谈，很多人都觉得这代SUPRA已经不能算是JDM了，真正的SUPRA已死，这就是宝马Z4的换壳车，被戏称为“史上第一款会漏油的丰田”……实际情况到底是什么样呢？首先，这代SUPRA的确不是一款在日本本土设计、生产的JDM车型，而是与宝马合作研发、与在售的G29 Z4同平台的产物。其中，SUPRA 2.0T版本配备了197马力/320牛米的B48发动机，3.0T版本则配备了340马力/500牛米B58发动机，这两台车的动力系统跟宝马Z4 25i和Z4 M40i从型号到参数完全一致，匹配的变速箱也是宝马标志性的ZF 8AT。所以，你说这是牛魔王，你觉得铁扇公主会相信吗，要知道即便以前受制于“君子协定”的老款牛魔王也能做到280马力，而出口到海外市场的牛魔王则可以在原厂状态下达到320马力，这也是为什么很多人说丰田用将近30年的时间干了个寂寞。此外，扒一扒这代SUPRA的内饰就会发现，酷似“鸡腿”的电子档把、空调控制面板、车机控制器……都与宝马如出一辙，所以网上就有人推测，SUPRA除了发动机和变速箱，它的发动机管理系统、变速箱模块、空调和多媒体系统等等均来自宝马，甚至插上宝马的电脑就可以进行故障诊断和编程编码，活脱脱一台宝马车，以至于这代SUPRA与曾经的牛魔王已经没什么直接的关系了，SUPRA已死的说法其实也没错。但是，如果说这代SUPRA是Z4的换壳车，这个说法其实并不严谨。我们都知道，早期Z4的底盘，一直与同时期3系有直接关系，比如E85、E86、E89的Z4就是在E46 3系的底盘基础上“套用”的，但到了这代Z4，它的底盘就与这代G20 3系有了非常明显的区别，尤其是悬挂摆臂等主要部件，从成本角度来看，这种突然打破传统的做法是不划算的。其实主要原因就在于，这代Z4从立项之初，丰田的底盘团队就已参与进来，也就是说，宝马与丰田两家团队，共同完成了这代Z4与SUPRA的底盘架构，而不是宝马先研发，丰田再套用，虽然基础底盘架构依然是在G20 3系基础上二次开发而来的，但是悬挂部件都根据跑车需求做了重新设计，可以说是为Z4与SUPRA量身定制全新底盘、全新平台。有意思的是，宝马与丰田合作完成底盘架构之后就互相道别了，据说当年两车都在相同的测试场地进行测试，但是宝马的工程师不能开SUPRA，而丰田的工程师也摸不到Z4。.也就说，这两车虽然共享底盘架构和悬挂部件，但在后续调校上依然会有非常大的区别，驾驶感受和动态表现也会有明显不同，因为Z4的定位是软顶敞篷跑车，说的洋气一点，这车属于Roadster，目的就是能让你优雅地开蓬兜风；而SUPRA是更加硬核的纯种硬顶跑车，追求的是山路以及赛道中的操控。这个区别其实可以简单的参考一下保时捷718，哪怕是同属保时捷调校出来的车，软顶敞篷的718 Boxster和硬顶的718 Cayman开起来也会有点区别，更何况Z4和SUPRA还是两个不同团队进行调校，这就像是同样一种鱼给两个不同的厨师，一个做成了极度清淡的清蒸，另一个做成了咸到发齁的红烧。同时也是由于coupe与roadster在车身结构上的差异，所以SUPRA的车身刚性会远远优于Z4，毕竟Z4受制于敞篷导致刚性成为短板，当然敞篷机构自身的重量也会成为操控的累赘，而按照丰田的说法，SUPRA的白车身抗扭刚性已经超越了自家的传奇超跑LFA，而当年LFA的车身确实是可以大吹特吹一番的。更有意思的是，丰田为了延续“开不坏”的口碑，特地将宝马的B48和B58发动机运到日本进行耐久性测试，将未通过测试的零件全部打回宝马进行改进，看来丰田对有着漏油传统的宝马发动机不太放心啊……所以与其说这代SUPRA是“史上第一款会漏油的丰田”，不如说这代Z4是“史上第一款不会漏油的宝马”。如果单从一台跑车的角度来看SUPRA现在的所作所为，其实并没有什么错，但问题就出在这台车叫SUPRA。反观这代SUPRA，与其说它是曾经那台大马力牛魔王的换代车型，反倒是更像是早期Z4 coupe的精神传承，从上代E89 Z4开始，宝马便放弃了纯硬顶版本车型，改成了硬顶敞篷车型，到了这代更是直接变为软顶敞篷，说明从车型定位上就放弃了激烈驾驶，从而彻底丧失了竞争718 Cayman的能力，要知道曾经Z4的coupe和敞篷版本可以算是保时捷Cayman和Boxster的直接对手。当然如今SUPRA和Z4也足够聪明，一个做成硬顶跑车，一个做成软顶敞篷跑车，这当然是事先商量好的，以针对不同的消费群体，谁也抢不了他人的饭碗，就像保时捷718那样，Cayman作为一台中置后驱、驾控纯粹、主打性能的驾驶机器，而Boxster则作为一台有一定驾驶乐趣但更注重腔调的小跑车，来满足客户多元化的需求。总的来说，这代SUPRA确实不算一台纯正的JDM车型，但也绝对没有别人说的那么不堪，相反如果你不戴着JDM的有色眼镜去看它，或者无视之前牛魔王的辉煌，也不在意所谓的代际传承关系，那么这台SUPRA其实是一台非常棒的跑车。SUPRA这车真的不如以前了吗？既然聊到了SUPRA，那自然要聊一聊改装相关的话题，毕竟之前老款SUPRA能获得“牛魔王”的别称，这可不是浪得虚名的，那么现在这台SUPRA还能不能重现往日的荣光，咱们还是得从之前著名的2JZ发动机开始说起。时间拉回到1990年8月，那时候JZ系列引擎正式发布，其实也就是1JZ和2JZ，而1JZ之所以出名，其实是因为它有个2.5L版本的1JZ-GTE，也只有这个版本的发动机是雅马哈负责设计的，雅马哈在当时以1JZ-GE为基础进行强化，进而做出了两个发动机版本，主要区别就是有没有VVT-i，也就是智能可变气门正时。虽然这两个版本的发动机都因为“君子协定”被做到了280马力，但扭力输出特性完全不同，所以那时候日本国内玩车界只认1JZ-GTE是高性能机器，因为他们大多数玩儿的都是山路和赛道，根本不需要那么高的峰值马力，这一点看过头文字D的朋友都知道，里面的车子其实最大马力都不算高，以至于这台1JZ-GTE发动机在当年都没怎么做过出口，都被日本的本土市场消化掉了，而2JZ-GTE则随着SUPRA出口到了海外市场，也走向了世界。虽然2JZ-GTE发动机在当年不怎么受日本玩家的待见，但是远在大洋彼岸的美国玩家却觉得“真香”，原因总结下来就一句话：“便宜、耐用、改装潜力大”，这也是为何2JZ-GTE被称为一代神机，但是，让这颗机头成为神话开端的却不是美国公司，而是来自日本的HKS。日本HKS这个公司其实很有意思，创始人团队出自丰田，而下面的研发团队也吸收（挖墙脚）了不少来自丰田、SARD、YAMAHA的前员工，所以他们对于日系车的发动机可以说了如指掌，你别看HKS现在什么都做，但当时HKS的主力产品却是涡轮套件，主攻的市场是0-400米加速赛，换言之，他们那时候的主要竞争对手，都是一众玩儿直线赛的美国公司。既然要和美国人竞争，自然是要拿出看家本领的，反观那时候的美国市场，美国佬自己的东西虽然也很不错，但是玩JDM的车主都追求“原汁原味”，很多人都觉得如果不去用日本本土的改装件，就不能称作JDM。就在这样的时代背景之下，那时候的HKS针对2JZ-GTE这台发动机，推出了涡轮升级套件和周边控制配件，比如：V-Pro电脑、电子增压控制器（俗称“电子水喉制”）、中冷器等等，并且价格卖的也不算贵，可以说是“良心产品”。到了2020年的东京改装展的时候，日本专门跑D1大奖赛的著名漂移赛车手“齐藤太吾”的座驾被拉到现场进行展出，虽然这台车的外壳是新款的SUPRA，可是发动机依旧使用的是2JZ-GTE发动机，并且这台赛车取了个名字叫“GR SUPRA MONSTER EDITION”，其中，“GR”代表丰田的御用改装部门，“SUPRA”就是丰田这台车的名字，后面的“MONSTER EDITION”则有两层含义，一层意思是代表这台车是齐藤太吾的座驾，因为齐藤太吾在D1赛事圈里被人称作“怪兽”，另一层含义则是这台车的性能也属于怪兽级别。而这台赛车上的2JZ-GTE发动机，配上HKS出品的3.4L强化套件（也就是把原来3.0L的2JZ-GTE进行扩缸和强化），同时把之前的原厂涡轮拆掉，换上了HKS出品的GTIII-4R涡轮套件，并且通过取代电脑进行ECU等方面的设定，最终动力数据做到了800马力/883牛米。所以，为什么过去很多人把老款SUPRA称作牛魔王，就是因为这台车的改装潜力实在太大了，即使不去追求那么夸张的1000匹甚至1200匹马力，也可以轻松达到700匹以上的动力。而到了现在新款的SUPRA，其实所搭载宝马出品的那颗B58发动机潜力也不小，并且科技含量更高，发动机技术也更先进，之前美国的“Papadakis Racing”就用这颗机头做到了1033.9马力/1231牛米的数据，并且操刀的正是这个Papadakis Racing的创始人，也是专攻美国D级方程式的机械大师Stephan Papadakis，并且这台车改出来也是为了去参加美国的D级方程式比赛（也就是漂移方程式）。换言之，如果你想达到这种“变态级”的数据，其实无论是之前的2JZ-GTE也好，还是现在的B58发动机也罢，都可以做到差不多的参数，因为赛用改装是可以也有必要去追求极致的动力，如果以日常的性能改装来看，现在的B58机头在BM3程序的加持下，一阶程序做到突破400马力/600牛米很轻松，二阶程序配合周边硬件可以突破440马力/680牛米；而2.0T版本的B48B20B机头其实和宝马现款430i是一样的，只是人为的限制了马力输出，所以做完BM3一阶程序基本上可以达到240马力，如果上到二阶程序的话，配合硬件基本上可以突破270马力。所以，现在的新款SUPRA的改装潜力不能说比以前差，只能说它的动力改装能提升到哪种程度，完全取决于这颗宝马的动力总成，能被这些主打动力改装的大厂推到什么样的高度，有多少赛车技术愿意进行下放。并且，现在基于宝马的底盘做出来的新款SUPRA，其实相比于过去的老款车型而言，在操控性上有了质的飞跃，最起码不会再像过去的SUPRA那样“直道王、弯道亡”，对于喜欢走街、跑山、下赛道人而言，现款的SUPRA更像是一个多面手，所以实际上新款的SUPRA从综合性能上来看，是远胜于过去旧款车型的。至于HELLAFLUSH这一类不以动力作为取向，而是以姿态作为主导的改装风格……你用一台SUPRA改出来，除了你知道它是一台改装SUPRA之外，还有别的用处吗？为什么说SUPRA在国内的定价非常离谱？虽然SUPRA是一台很不错的车，但以目前的情况来看，SUPRA在国内的定价确实有些离谱，我们从JDM的“对立面”德系性能圈子里，挑出两款非常有代表性、同时国内也能买到的车型，一起与SUPRA做个中美差价对比。首先是奥迪S3，这台车大家都很熟悉了，德系钢炮代表作之一，也是“购置税秒超跑”的主力军。这台车在美国起价43000美元（约合28.1万人民币），国内19款定价36.38万，按照停产前的行情，优惠后在32万左右，但看裸车价的差别，中美差价在4万左右。而SUPRA 2.0T版本美国起价43090美元（28.2万人民币），很“巧合”的比奥迪S3贵了90美金，并且美版的2.0T SUPRA还是255马力的高功率发动机，到国内反倒阉割成197马力，并且卖到了49.6万的高价，相当于20万，算上终端市场加价8-10万，中美差价达到了30万左右。其次是奥迪S4，这也是6缸B级性能车的当家花旦，美国起价49900美元（约合32.6万人民币），国内20款定价46.88万，不算购置税的话，中美差价在14万左右，毕竟国内对大排量车型征税较多。而SUPRA 3.0T版本美国起价51090美元（33.4万人民币），又很“巧合”的与奥迪S4差不多，更重要的是，美版的SUPRA 3.0T竟然有382马力，也是高功率发动机，到国内再一次惨遭阉割，在动力变成340马力的同时，价格却卖到了62.6万，算上终端市场的加价，使得中美差价接近40万。哪怕我们不去和奥迪这种本身性价比就挺高的车子去做对比，就拿SUPRA去和同根同源的宝马Z4对比，你会发现美版的Z4 30i比SUPRA 2.0T版本贵了6700美元（4.4万人民币），美版的Z4 M40i比SUPRA 3.0T版本贵了12610美元（8.2万人民币），换言之Z4的价位几乎高了一个量级。但是，到了国内以后，即使这俩兄弟的动力都被砍了一刀，但价格仍然保持一致，以至于在国外价格低于Z4的SUPRA摇身一变成了“高富帅”，甚至SUPRA 2.0T版本还要比Z4更贵一点，所以这是Z4在国内的定价太“亲民”，还是SUPRA定价太离谱呢？首先，丰田是玩营销的高手，SUPRA作为一台自带JDM情怀的跑车，丰田知道这是一次非常好的机会，利用所谓的非官方小道消息，也就是广为流传的“300台配额”，不但可以制造加价话题、炒高价格，还能免费扩大知名度，这是投广告都达不到的效果，即便之后出点什么事儿，丰田作为官方也可以出来撇清关系，表示自己没有搞限量，那都是谣言，再声明一下加价属于市场行为或者经销商行为，然后象征性的做出一些警告或者惩罚，甚至直接冷处理，到最后不了了之。其次，丰田其实心里很清楚，能以这个价格去买SUPRA的人虽然不会多，但也远远不止300人，所以丰田消费的就是国内残存的JDM情怀，毕竟之前就连37895美元（24.8万人民币）的思域Type R都能在国内炒到70万天价，关键还有人买，正儿八经的中规SUPRA怎么就不能卖个高价了？最后，丰田这一手“又当又立”玩的确实很溜，看上去决定SUPRA国内定价的是供求关系，实际上能否满足供求关系的关键点还是在丰田，但凡丰田敢不玩饥饿营销，让SUPRA像宝马Z4那样不限量供应，你觉得这车敢定这个价格吗？所以，丰田现在就是吃准了消费者“非他不可”的心态，只要是热销的车型都给你玩一手“供不应求”，然后自己躺在那儿开开心心的数钱，看消费者争的头破血流。除了SUPRA，同价位我们还能买到哪些纯种跑车那么，现在除了SUPRA之外，在同价位中我们还能买到哪些纯种的跑车，请注意是纯种跑车，不是什么C43 COUPE、S5 COUPE、M440i这些基于轿车打造的两门车。首先，比这台车便宜点的BRZ、86、MX-5基本可以说再见了，至少在目前的情况下来看，想要买到这些极其亲民的小跑车，就只能去二手车市场讨价还价，要不然就只能去看看美系车，只是2.3T野马的性能放在今天确实差点意思，而5.0L的野马GT直到现在也没有国6排放的新车。其次，就是和SUPRA同根同源，但是调教不同的宝马Z4，其实在我看来，与其追求所谓的情怀去买一台SUPRA，还真不如去买一台Z4，而且Z4现在价格不仅有优惠，还能敞篷，这骚气程度难道不比SUPRA来的更好？而且别忘了这可是蓝天白云标的宝马哦。最后，就是价格比SUPRA稍高的跑车，包含了保时捷718和捷豹F-TYPE，现在这两台车的行情都非常坚挺，基本上都没有什么优惠，所以不要再黑人家捷豹是“7折豹”了，现在你如果想买一台最新款的3.0T F-TYPE回来，能原价裸提都已经算商家让利了。所以，现在的SUPRA其实切的价格区间很准，这个价格向下已经没有什么纯种跑车能够选择，而和比他贵的车型相比，车辆性能也非常的能打，毕竟SUPRA 2.0T版本49.6万元的指导价正好卡在福特野马（指导价36.98万起）和捷豹F TYPE 2.0T版本（指导价58.2万起）之间，即便是3.0T版本的SUPRA，官方指导价也只是定了一个62.6万，比宝马Z4 M40i的63.38万指导价要低一些，比F-TYPE 3.0T（指导价79.8万起）这种配备六缸发动机的车要便宜十来万。当然，很多人吐槽的其实并不是这台车的指导价，而是现在这台车实际成交价竟然多出了8-10万，虽然我们一方面不支持这种加价销售的行为，但是另一方面，在市场经济的环境下，物以稀为贵一直是不变的道理，丰田那里有意的在控制货量，那市场上就会容易出现僧多粥少的问题，这就跟限量的球鞋一样，加价只是正常的市场反馈，毕竟钱在自己手里，可以选择不买。JDM当年为什么火，如今是不是死翘翘了总的来说，JDM虽然足够情怀，但我总觉得现在还喊着JDM情怀的人，确实有些“矫揉造作”。首先，咱们国家在90年代JDM车型的辉煌时刻，根本没有多少人能真正接触到所谓的JDM车型，更不要说去改装、跑山、下赛道了，这是时代的大背景，而现在喊着JDM的车迷，很多都是在后来通过向前追溯的方式去了解到、认知到JDM的文化，并没有多少人真正的去体验过纯种的JDM车型。其次，JDM的核心在于汽车改装，换言之就是一台底子不错的车给到你，然后通过你的双手或者改装技师的双手，配合各家厂商推出的改装件，从而打造出专属于你的车辆，然后你可以开着这台独一无二的车子在路上飞驰人生……但是，汽车改装在咱们国内一直都属于违法行为，除非你根本不上牌也不上路开，每次都用板车拖着去赛道，否则就是会被认定为“非法改装”。再者，现在所谓的JDM已经没有几台真正的性能车了，之前日本所谓的“国宝级跑车”，除了GTR还是保留现款在售之外，NSX已经变成了混动超跑，转子系列从RX8停产之后就再无音讯，SUPRA现在也成了Z4换壳……尽管还有诸如86/BRZ、370Z、STI、EVO、思域TYPE R之类的车子在国内流通，可是这些车要么价格被炒的飞起，要么根本无法和同价位的性能车在绝对性能上进行匹敌。最后，在JDM的历史当中，不论是SUPRA还是当年那些日系性能车、跑车的辉煌，主要就是因为“性价比高”，你别管后期改装要花多少钱，至少这车在买来的时候就是便宜，就是改装潜力大，就是改装件多，而且想崩直线崩直线，想玩操控玩操控，怎么玩都取决于你，所以很能满足当时年轻人那种“屌丝逆袭”的快感，这一点和现在玩儿VAG钢炮的差不多，你别管我车子贵不贵，你看我崩不崩你就完了，可是到了现在的情况下，“情怀”两个字最终都变成了“钱”，经典的JDM车型越来越贵，逐渐变为有钱人的收藏品，看看之前二手市场里标价168万的GTR R32，你就知道想弄一台经典的JDM车型难度有多大了。所以，JDM已死并不是一句危言耸听的话，至少在当下这个阶段，想在国内好好的去玩JDM车型确实不是一件容易的事情，我们且不说JDM车辆的价格，或者是不是还有足够纯粹的JDM车型，即便我们只是把JDM爱好者们所痴迷的日本改装件，单拎出来去和欧美品牌的产品进行对比，去看看改装件的性能和相关的配套改装件，你会发现他们早已经被欧美品牌超越，现在日本品牌能拿出手的，无非就是所谓的“匠人精神”以及品牌背后的故事，可是故事不能当饭吃，匠人的双手也不会比数控机床更精准，不是么？音频图文更新在订阅号：百车全说每期抽三条留言，每人赠168元的“芥末绿”燃油添加剂一瓶点击订阅，每周三，周六更新会有提醒新听友可以搜索：百车全说2014，百车全说2015，百车全说2016，往期300多个小时的节目可供收听

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注早在去年的11月，丰田就举办了一场线上发布会，虽然发布会的内容可以说是和他们旗下很多家用车一样无聊，但当他们宣布将旗下高性能品牌“GR”引进中国，并同时将新一代SUPRA一起带入国内市场的时候，我看到沉寂已久的弹幕瞬间爆炸，尽管当时发布会上并没有宣布SUPRA的定价，反而是在大聊特聊所谓的情怀，但GR SUPRA的消息还是让不少喜爱JDM的车迷们眼前一亮，甚至很多人猜测会不会跟着GR SUPRA的脚步，丰田还会把GR雅力士和GR 86带进来。为什么人们对于“GR”这个名头那么追捧，其实就是因为丰田GR就相当于奔驰AMG，是一个高性能的代名词，并且在之前的海外市场里，GR一直都不会像奔驰AMG那样把自己的调性拉那么高，反而出品的车子都挺亲民，所以吸引了不少粉丝。不过，就在发布会几个月之后，SUPRA的定价终于出来了，2.0T版本49.6万，价格甚至比同平台的宝马Z4 2.0T还贵；3.0T版本62.6万，比Z4便宜那么一点点……这个价格也直接让我大喊一声“好家伙”，丰田是真的敢定。而相比于丰田这种有些傲娇的定价，这台SUPRA在市场终端的行情就显得有些不可理喻了，我咨询了一下熟悉的销售，发现这台车目前配额只有可怜的300台，想要买车基本上都要加价8-10万，也就是说2.0T裸车接近60万，3.0T裸车突破70万……当然，相比于之前通过平行进口方式进来，定价85-90万的SUPRA，这个中规版本的定价似乎已经算是在JDM情怀粉面前“低头”了。所以，今天我们就聊一聊这台重生的“牛魔王”——丰田SUPRA。新一代SUPRA是一款什么样的车？从外观上来看，新一代SUPRA作为一款2门2座的硬顶跑车，长宽高分别为4381/1867/1310mm，轴距为2470mm，这个体型其实和丰田86/斯巴鲁BRZ这两台小跑车差不多。但是，抛开尺寸不谈，很多人都觉得这代SUPRA已经不能算是JDM了，真正的SUPRA已死，这就是宝马Z4的换壳车，被戏称为“史上第一款会漏油的丰田”……实际情况到底是什么样呢？首先，这代SUPRA的确不是一款在日本本土设计、生产的JDM车型，而是与宝马合作研发、与在售的G29 Z4同平台的产物。其中，SUPRA 2.0T版本配备了197马力/320牛米的B48发动机，3.0T版本则配备了340马力/500牛米B58发动机，这两台车的动力系统跟宝马Z4 25i和Z4 M40i从型号到参数完全一致，匹配的变速箱也是宝马标志性的ZF 8AT。所以，你说这是牛魔王，你觉得铁扇公主会相信吗，要知道即便以前受制于“君子协定”的老款牛魔王也能做到280马力，而出口到海外市场的牛魔王则可以在原厂状态下达到320马力，这也是为什么很多人说丰田用将近30年的时间干了个寂寞。此外，扒一扒这代SUPRA的内饰就会发现，酷似“鸡腿”的电子档把、空调控制面板、车机控制器……都与宝马如出一辙，所以网上就有人推测，SUPRA除了发动机和变速箱，它的发动机管理系统、变速箱模块、空调和多媒体系统等等均来自宝马，甚至插上宝马的电脑就可以进行故障诊断和编程编码，活脱脱一台宝马车，以至于这代SUPRA与曾经的牛魔王已经没什么直接的关系了，SUPRA已死的说法其实也没错。但是，如果说这代SUPRA是Z4的换壳车，这个说法其实并不严谨。我们都知道，早期Z4的底盘，一直与同时期3系有直接关系，比如E85、E86、E89的Z4就是在E46 3系的底盘基础上“套用”的，但到了这代Z4，它的底盘就与这代G20 3系有了非常明显的区别，尤其是悬挂摆臂等主要部件，从成本角度来看，这种突然打破传统的做法是不划算的。其实主要原因就在于，这代Z4从立项之初，丰田的底盘团队就已参与进来，也就是说，宝马与丰田两家团队，共同完成了这代Z4与SUPRA的底盘架构，而不是宝马先研发，丰田再套用，虽然基础底盘架构依然是在G20 3系基础上二次开发而来的，但是悬挂部件都根据跑车需求做了重新设计，可以说是为Z4与SUPRA量身定制全新底盘、全新平台。有意思的是，宝马与丰田合作完成底盘架构之后就互相道别了，据说当年两车都在相同的测试场地进行测试，但是宝马的工程师不能开SUPRA，而丰田的工程师也摸不到Z4。.也就说，这两车虽然共享底盘架构和悬挂部件，但在后续调校上依然会有非常大的区别，驾驶感受和动态表现也会有明显不同，因为Z4的定位是软顶敞篷跑车，说的洋气一点，这车属于Roadster，目的就是能让你优雅地开蓬兜风；而SUPRA是更加硬核的纯种硬顶跑车，追求的是山路以及赛道中的操控。这个区别其实可以简单的参考一下保时捷718，哪怕是同属保时捷调校出来的车，软顶敞篷的718 Boxster和硬顶的718 Cayman开起来也会有点区别，更何况Z4和SUPRA还是两个不同团队进行调校，这就像是同样一种鱼给两个不同的厨师，一个做成了极度清淡的清蒸，另一个做成了咸到发齁的红烧。同时也是由于coupe与roadster在车身结构上的差异，所以SUPRA的车身刚性会远远优于Z4，毕竟Z4受制于敞篷导致刚性成为短板，当然敞篷机构自身的重量也会成为操控的累赘，而按照丰田的说法，SUPRA的白车身抗扭刚性已经超越了自家的传奇超跑LFA，而当年LFA的车身确实是可以大吹特吹一番的。更有意思的是，丰田为了延续“开不坏”的口碑，特地将宝马的B48和B58发动机运到日本进行耐久性测试，将未通过测试的零件全部打回宝马进行改进，看来丰田对有着漏油传统的宝马发动机不太放心啊……所以与其说这代SUPRA是“史上第一款会漏油的丰田”，不如说这代Z4是“史上第一款不会漏油的宝马”。如果单从一台跑车的角度来看SUPRA现在的所作所为，其实并没有什么错，但问题就出在这台车叫SUPRA。反观这代SUPRA，与其说它是曾经那台大马力牛魔王的换代车型，反倒是更像是早期Z4 coupe的精神传承，从上代E89 Z4开始，宝马便放弃了纯硬顶版本车型，改成了硬顶敞篷车型，到了这代更是直接变为软顶敞篷，说明从车型定位上就放弃了激烈驾驶，从而彻底丧失了竞争718 Cayman的能力，要知道曾经Z4的coupe和敞篷版本可以算是保时捷Cayman和Boxster的直接对手。当然如今SUPRA和Z4也足够聪明，一个做成硬顶跑车，一个做成软顶敞篷跑车，这当然是事先商量好的，以针对不同的消费群体，谁也抢不了他人的饭碗，就像保时捷718那样，Cayman作为一台中置后驱、驾控纯粹、主打性能的驾驶机器，而Boxster则作为一台有一定驾驶乐趣但更注重腔调的小跑车，来满足客户多元化的需求。总的来说，这代SUPRA确实不算一台纯正的JDM车型，但也绝对没有别人说的那么不堪，相反如果你不戴着JDM的有色眼镜去看它，或者无视之前牛魔王的辉煌，也不在意所谓的代际传承关系，那么这台SUPRA其实是一台非常棒的跑车。SUPRA这车真的不如以前了吗？既然聊到了SUPRA，那自然要聊一聊改装相关的话题，毕竟之前老款SUPRA能获得“牛魔王”的别称，这可不是浪得虚名的，那么现在这台SUPRA还能不能重现往日的荣光，咱们还是得从之前著名的2JZ发动机开始说起。时间拉回到1990年8月，那时候JZ系列引擎正式发布，其实也就是1JZ和2JZ，而1JZ之所以出名，其实是因为它有个2.5L版本的1JZ-GTE，也只有这个版本的发动机是雅马哈负责设计的，雅马哈在当时以1JZ-GE为基础进行强化，进而做出了两个发动机版本，主要区别就是有没有VVT-i，也就是智能可变气门正时。虽然这两个版本的发动机都因为“君子协定”被做到了280马力，但扭力输出特性完全不同，所以那时候日本国内玩车界只认1JZ-GTE是高性能机器，因为他们大多数玩儿的都是山路和赛道，根本不需要那么高的峰值马力，这一点看过头文字D的朋友都知道，里面的车子其实最大马力都不算高，以至于这台1JZ-GTE发动机在当年都没怎么做过出口，都被日本的本土市场消化掉了，而2JZ-GTE则随着SUPRA出口到了海外市场，也走向了世界。虽然2JZ-GTE发动机在当年不怎么受日本玩家的待见，但是远在大洋彼岸的美国玩家却觉得“真香”，原因总结下来就一句话：“便宜、耐用、改装潜力大”，这也是为何2JZ-GTE被称为一代神机，但是，让这颗机头成为神话开端的却不是美国公司，而是来自日本的HKS。日本HKS这个公司其实很有意思，创始人团队出自丰田，而下面的研发团队也吸收（挖墙脚）了不少来自丰田、SARD、YAMAHA的前员工，所以他们对于日系车的发动机可以说了如指掌，你别看HKS现在什么都做，但当时HKS的主力产品却是涡轮套件，主攻的市场是0-400米加速赛，换言之，他们那时候的主要竞争对手，都是一众玩儿直线赛的美国公司。既然要和美国人竞争，自然是要拿出看家本领的，反观那时候的美国市场，美国佬自己的东西虽然也很不错，但是玩JDM的车主都追求“原汁原味”，很多人都觉得如果不去用日本本土的改装件，就不能称作JDM。就在这样的时代背景之下，那时候的HKS针对2JZ-GTE这台发动机，推出了涡轮升级套件和周边控制配件，比如：V-Pro电脑、电子增压控制器（俗称“电子水喉制”）、中冷器等等，并且价格卖的也不算贵，可以说是“良心产品”。到了2020年的东京改装展的时候，日本专门跑D1大奖赛的著名漂移赛车手“齐藤太吾”的座驾被拉到现场进行展出，虽然这台车的外壳是新款的SUPRA，可是发动机依旧使用的是2JZ-GTE发动机，并且这台赛车取了个名字叫“GR SUPRA MONSTER EDITION”，其中，“GR”代表丰田的御用改装部门，“SUPRA”就是丰田这台车的名字，后面的“MONSTER EDITION”则有两层含义，一层意思是代表这台车是齐藤太吾的座驾，因为齐藤太吾在D1赛事圈里被人称作“怪兽”，另一层含义则是这台车的性能也属于怪兽级别。而这台赛车上的2JZ-GTE发动机，配上HKS出品的3.4L强化套件（也就是把原来3.0L的2JZ-GTE进行扩缸和强化），同时把之前的原厂涡轮拆掉，换上了HKS出品的GTIII-4R涡轮套件，并且通过取代电脑进行ECU等方面的设定，最终动力数据做到了800马力/883牛米。所以，为什么过去很多人把老款SUPRA称作牛魔王，就是因为这台车的改装潜力实在太大了，即使不去追求那么夸张的1000匹甚至1200匹马力，也可以轻松达到700匹以上的动力。而到了现在新款的SUPRA，其实所搭载宝马出品的那颗B58发动机潜力也不小，并且科技含量更高，发动机技术也更先进，之前美国的“Papadakis Racing”就用这颗机头做到了1033.9马力/1231牛米的数据，并且操刀的正是这个Papadakis Racing的创始人，也是专攻美国D级方程式的机械大师Stephan Papadakis，并且这台车改出来也是为了去参加美国的D级方程式比赛（也就是漂移方程式）。换言之，如果你想达到这种“变态级”的数据，其实无论是之前的2JZ-GTE也好，还是现在的B58发动机也罢，都可以做到差不多的参数，因为赛用改装是可以也有必要去追求极致的动力，如果以日常的性能改装来看，现在的B58机头在BM3程序的加持下，一阶程序做到突破400马力/600牛米很轻松，二阶程序配合周边硬件可以突破440马力/680牛米；而2.0T版本的B48B20B机头其实和宝马现款430i是一样的，只是人为的限制了马力输出，所以做完BM3一阶程序基本上可以达到240马力，如果上到二阶程序的话，配合硬件基本上可以突破270马力。所以，现在的新款SUPRA的改装潜力不能说比以前差，只能说它的动力改装能提升到哪种程度，完全取决于这颗宝马的动力总成，能被这些主打动力改装的大厂推到什么样的高度，有多少赛车技术愿意进行下放。并且，现在基于宝马的底盘做出来的新款SUPRA，其实相比于过去的老款车型而言，在操控性上有了质的飞跃，最起码不会再像过去的SUPRA那样“直道王、弯道亡”，对于喜欢走街、跑山、下赛道人而言，现款的SUPRA更像是一个多面手，所以实际上新款的SUPRA从综合性能上来看，是远胜于过去旧款车型的。至于HELLAFLUSH这一类不以动力作为取向，而是以姿态作为主导的改装风格……你用一台SUPRA改出来，除了你知道它是一台改装SUPRA之外，还有别的用处吗？为什么说SUPRA在国内的定价非常离谱？虽然SUPRA是一台很不错的车，但以目前的情况来看，SUPRA在国内的定价确实有些离谱，我们从JDM的“对立面”德系性能圈子里，挑出两款非常有代表性、同时国内也能买到的车型，一起与SUPRA做个中美差价对比。首先是奥迪S3，这台车大家都很熟悉了，德系钢炮代表作之一，也是“购置税秒超跑”的主力军。这台车在美国起价43000美元（约合28.1万人民币），国内19款定价36.38万，按照停产前的行情，优惠后在32万左右，但看裸车价的差别，中美差价在4万左右。而SUPRA 2.0T版本美国起价43090美元（28.2万人民币），很“巧合”的比奥迪S3贵了90美金，并且美版的2.0T SUPRA还是255马力的高功率发动机，到国内反倒阉割成197马力，并且卖到了49.6万的高价，相当于20万，算上终端市场加价8-10万，中美差价达到了30万左右。其次是奥迪S4，这也是6缸B级性能车的当家花旦，美国起价49900美元（约合32.6万人民币），国内20款定价46.88万，不算购置税的话，中美差价在14万左右，毕竟国内对大排量车型征税较多。而SUPRA 3.0T版本美国起价51090美元（33.4万人民币），又很“巧合”的与奥迪S4差不多，更重要的是，美版的SUPRA 3.0T竟然有382马力，也是高功率发动机，到国内再一次惨遭阉割，在动力变成340马力的同时，价格却卖到了62.6万，算上终端市场的加价，使得中美差价接近40万。哪怕我们不去和奥迪这种本身性价比就挺高的车子去做对比，就拿SUPRA去和同根同源的宝马Z4对比，你会发现美版的Z4 30i比SUPRA 2.0T版本贵了6700美元（4.4万人民币），美版的Z4 M40i比SUPRA 3.0T版本贵了12610美元（8.2万人民币），换言之Z4的价位几乎高了一个量级。但是，到了国内以后，即使这俩兄弟的动力都被砍了一刀，但价格仍然保持一致，以至于在国外价格低于Z4的SUPRA摇身一变成了“高富帅”，甚至SUPRA 2.0T版本还要比Z4更贵一点，所以这是Z4在国内的定价太“亲民”，还是SUPRA定价太离谱呢？首先，丰田是玩营销的高手，SUPRA作为一台自带JDM情怀的跑车，丰田知道这是一次非常好的机会，利用所谓的非官方小道消息，也就是广为流传的“300台配额”，不但可以制造加价话题、炒高价格，还能免费扩大知名度，这是投广告都达不到的效果，即便之后出点什么事儿，丰田作为官方也可以出来撇清关系，表示自己没有搞限量，那都是谣言，再声明一下加价属于市场行为或者经销商行为，然后象征性的做出一些警告或者惩罚，甚至直接冷处理，到最后不了了之。其次，丰田其实心里很清楚，能以这个价格去买SUPRA的人虽然不会多，但也远远不止300人，所以丰田消费的就是国内残存的JDM情怀，毕竟之前就连37895美元（24.8万人民币）的思域Type R都能在国内炒到70万天价，关键还有人买，正儿八经的中规SUPRA怎么就不能卖个高价了？最后，丰田这一手“又当又立”玩的确实很溜，看上去决定SUPRA国内定价的是供求关系，实际上能否满足供求关系的关键点还是在丰田，但凡丰田敢不玩饥饿营销，让SUPRA像宝马Z4那样不限量供应，你觉得这车敢定这个价格吗？所以，丰田现在就是吃准了消费者“非他不可”的心态，只要是热销的车型都给你玩一手“供不应求”，然后自己躺在那儿开开心心的数钱，看消费者争的头破血流。除了SUPRA，同价位我们还能买到哪些纯种跑车那么，现在除了SUPRA之外，在同价位中我们还能买到哪些纯种的跑车，请注意是纯种跑车，不是什么C43 COUPE、S5 COUPE、M440i这些基于轿车打造的两门车。首先，比这台车便宜点的BRZ、86、MX-5基本可以说再见了，至少在目前的情况下来看，想要买到这些极其亲民的小跑车，就只能去二手车市场讨价还价，要不然就只能去看看美系车，只是2.3T野马的性能放在今天确实差点意思，而5.0L的野马GT直到现在也没有国6排放的新车。其次，就是和SUPRA同根同源，但是调教不同的宝马Z4，其实在我看来，与其追求所谓的情怀去买一台SUPRA，还真不如去买一台Z4，而且Z4现在价格不仅有优惠，还能敞篷，这骚气程度难道不比SUPRA来的更好？而且别忘了这可是蓝天白云标的宝马哦。最后，就是价格比SUPRA稍高的跑车，包含了保时捷718和捷豹F-TYPE，现在这两台车的行情都非常坚挺，基本上都没有什么优惠，所以不要再黑人家捷豹是“7折豹”了，现在你如果想买一台最新款的3.0T F-TYPE回来，能原价裸提都已经算商家让利了。所以，现在的SUPRA其实切的价格区间很准，这个价格向下已经没有什么纯种跑车能够选择，而和比他贵的车型相比，车辆性能也非常的能打，毕竟SUPRA 2.0T版本49.6万元的指导价正好卡在福特野马（指导价36.98万起）和捷豹F TYPE 2.0T版本（指导价58.2万起）之间，即便是3.0T版本的SUPRA，官方指导价也只是定了一个62.6万，比宝马Z4 M40i的63.38万指导价要低一些，比F-TYPE 3.0T（指导价79.8万起）这种配备六缸发动机的车要便宜十来万。当然，很多人吐槽的其实并不是这台车的指导价，而是现在这台车实际成交价竟然多出了8-10万，虽然我们一方面不支持这种加价销售的行为，但是另一方面，在市场经济的环境下，物以稀为贵一直是不变的道理，丰田那里有意的在控制货量，那市场上就会容易出现僧多粥少的问题，这就跟限量的球鞋一样，加价只是正常的市场反馈，毕竟钱在自己手里，可以选择不买。JDM当年为什么火，如今是不是死翘翘了总的来说，JDM虽然足够情怀，但我总觉得现在还喊着JDM情怀的人，确实有些“矫揉造作”。首先，咱们国家在90年代JDM车型的辉煌时刻，根本没有多少人能真正接触到所谓的JDM车型，更不要说去改装、跑山、下赛道了，这是时代的大背景，而现在喊着JDM的车迷，很多都是在后来通过向前追溯的方式去了解到、认知到JDM的文化，并没有多少人真正的去体验过纯种的JDM车型。其次，JDM的核心在于汽车改装，换言之就是一台底子不错的车给到你，然后通过你的双手或者改装技师的双手，配合各家厂商推出的改装件，从而打造出专属于你的车辆，然后你可以开着这台独一无二的车子在路上飞驰人生……但是，汽车改装在咱们国内一直都属于违法行为，除非你根本不上牌也不上路开，每次都用板车拖着去赛道，否则就是会被认定为“非法改装”。再者，现在所谓的JDM已经没有几台真正的性能车了，之前日本所谓的“国宝级跑车”，除了GTR还是保留现款在售之外，NSX已经变成了混动超跑，转子系列从RX8停产之后就再无音讯，SUPRA现在也成了Z4换壳……尽管还有诸如86/BRZ、370Z、STI、EVO、思域TYPE

Sie erinnern sich noch, wer die Fahrzeugklasse der Kompakt-SUV einst begründet hat und damit bis heute mehr als zehn Millionen Käufer weltweit überzeugen konnte? Nicht. Dann wollen wir Ihnen mal einen Tipp geben. Aktuell wird dieses Fahrzeug auch als Plug-in Hybrid angeboten. Es hört auf den Namen Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid! Darum geht es diesmal!Heute schauen wir uns den neuen RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid an, das Topmodell der RAV4-Baureihe von Toyota und das neue Flaggschiff seiner Hybrid-Antriebspalette, das mit einer Kombination aus Kraft und Umweltverträglichkeit überzeugt. Toyota ist zu Recht als Technologieführer im Bereich der Hybridantriebe zu sehen. Mit RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid ist ein besonders leistungsstarkes Fahrzeug entstanden, das seinen Wettbewerbern insbesondere in puncto Abgasemissionen und Kraftstoffeffizienz voraus ist. Power und Drive!    Der neue Plug-in-Hybridantrieb des Toyota RAV4 überzeugt mit einer Kombination aus Power und Effizienz. Mit seiner Systemleistung von 225 kW/306 PS ist er das kraftvollste Modell der RAV4-Familie und gleichzeitig das derzeit leistungsstärkste Hybridfahrzeug von Toyota. Der 2,5-l-VVT-i Benzinmotor leistet 136 kW (185 PS), der vordere Elektromotor 134 kW (182 PS), der hintere 40 kW (54 PS). So kommt die  Systemleistung 225 kW von (306 PS) zustande. Der Energieverbrauch liegt kraftstoffseitig bei 1,2 l/100 km, die CO2-Emissionen bei  26 g/km, der Stromverbrauch bei 16,6 kWh/100 km. Wir sprechen jeweils vom kombinierten Messzyklus. Mit dieser Wirtschaftlichkeit übertrifft er sogar das hohe Niveau des RAV4 Hybrid nochmals. Dazu kommt eine spezielle Eigenschaft des Systems, denn der Elektroantrieb ist der Normalmodus. Das Hybridsystem greift nicht ohne Weiteres ein. Laut WLTP-Norm ist eine rein elektrische Reichweite von gut 75 Kilometern möglich, die Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 135 km/h eignet sich auch für lokal verbrauchs- und abgasemissionsfreie Autobahnfahrten. Gemessen nach WLTP-Norm für den Stadtverkehr steigt die Reichweite sogar auf bis zu 98 Kilometer. Der automatische Wechsel in den hocheffizienten Hybridmodus wird durch den Ladezustand der Batterie geregelt. Damit Sie nicht denken, ich will es Ihnen vorenthalten:  Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit liegt bei 180 km/h, Tempo 100 wird nach 6,0 Sekunden erreicht.     Die Kosten!Was kostet der Spaß den nun, werden Sie wissen wollen. Ab 47.490,00 Euro können Sie den RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid erwerben.  Der Preis steigt dann mit zwei unterschiedlichen Zusatzpaketen auf 54.990,-- bzw. 59.890,-- Euro. Dann ist der Wagen aber praktisch vollausgestattet!  Alle Fotos: ©  Toyota Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

After a short break, we are back! And we have a perfect car for our return. The Maserati MC20 is powered by a Maserati-developed, 90-degree, twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine. This engine produces 621 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 538 lb-ft of torque. Maserati named this engine "Nettuno," this means Neptune in Italian. It has an F1 inspired newly designed engine, with 12 spark plugs, and 12 combustion chambers, a dry-sump engine oil system, and dual overhead cams with VVT. This comes in a RWD platform only, utilizing a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission. This can be controlled via paddle shifters, or a fully automatic setting. The Maserati supercar can hit 97 km/hr from a standstill in 2.9 seconds. Top speed is more than 325 km/hr, according to Maserati. These figures are partly due to a relatively light  3,240-pound curb weight, most likely from all of the carbon fiber body and chassis parts. It also has a wide-set beautiful headlights accentuating the coupe's sharp nose. This MC20 features light weight carbon fiber butterfly doors, a little something extra in the styling department. Customers will have the choice of six colours for now, but the black roof stays no matter which overall colour you choose.Thats all for now, the rest is in the episode.

Badges, emblems, signs, and stickers: this week’s Carmudgeon show is all about why so many cars have badges for seemingly irrelevant things. Trim-level badging apparently helps with resale values, but why is it necessary to tell the cars behind you that you have Tuned Port Injection?Jason and Derek take an illustrated trip down memory lane, discussing the coolest (and silliest) badges ever put on cars. And why having a lighted star on the front of your Mercedes is actually a poverty badge — but having no badge on your V-12 E32 750iL could be a sign of exclusivity.Some of the badges covered in this episode include: Disc brakes, ABS, Honda’s ALB, Automatic, Automatique, Dynaflow and other transmission badges, 4WS, 16V, 24V, 32V, Twin Cam, EFI, MPFI, TBI, Tuned Port Injection, Twin H Power, Tri Power, Turbo, Turbo Diesel, Turbodiesel, V8-6-4, GT4, Alltrac, Fuel Injection, 5-speed, Overdrive, IRS, BMW 1800 TI/SA, SH-AWD, AWD, 4WD, 4 Wheel Drive, All Wheel Drive, Injection Electronique, Twin I Beam, Big Horn, King Ranch, Isuzu P’Up, Inezione, 4Porte, Quattroporte, Quattro, 4Matic, 4Motion, Q4, xDrive, SH-AWD, eAWD, TSI, TFSI, TDI, GDI, Hybrid, Anti-Theft Radio, VTEC, iVTEC, VVT, VVTi, VVTL-i, VVEL, Dual Motor, 16 Ventiler, P100D, Ludicrous, DMP, Cambiocorsa, Ferrari F1, Advancetrac, Advancetrac RST, Stabillitrak, PZEV, SIPS, Side Impact Protection System, GL, EX, DX, LE, Si, LX, S, SE, SEL, Lambda Sond, EV, Electric Vehicle, Kompressor, Turbo, BiTurbo, V8, V12, AMG, Radial Tuned Suspension, Handling By Lotus, TR5 PI, Magnum PI, 308 Magnum PI, Police Interceptor, DTS, Deville Touring Sedan, GTS, 911 GTS, 928 GTS, Celica GTS, Cayman GTS, Boxster GTS, Porsche GTS, Ferrari GTSThe Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.

EasyIO’s World Event Presentation Highlights: (ControlTrends gives special thanks to Anja Nilsen, from Bergen, Norway, for helping out with the photography and videography!) Guido van Erp: Welcome and review of Agenda. Anyone who has coordinated a world-wide meeting on this scope can appreciate the prodigious preparations and successful delivery of dinners and golfing. The VIP executive business center inside of Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Real Madrid’s Soccer Stadium, was enough, but the tour of the locker room, walking the pitch, and sitting on the players’ bench, and the lighter than air portrayal of Real Madrid’s prolific history was absolutely amazing. The crescendo Flamingo guitarist banquet was truly a befitting finale! Easy IO’s Mike Marston: The most advanced open controller to date, the FG-32+ Mega Beast product launch is around the 4th quarter’s bend, and EasyIO’s new VAV initiatives with Belimo are prefaced with “shock and awe” warnings, because the next version of the FG-32+ with its Belimo driver will be able to discover all the Belimo DCA’s on your MP Bus network. You heard that right. Easy IO’s Lim Hoon Chiat: Speaking as one of the industry’s most accomplished masters of technology (patents), EasyIO’s product road map opens the Linux side up for ambitious integrators, and there will be more memory, 3X faster processor speeds, and more drivers will be added to the existing tool sets. (C’mon… give everybody else a chance to catch up.) Johan Schakenraad : CEO at EasyIO, Europe B.V: The Residential is the World’s first real BMS in a Box and Easy IO’s fast-track success in Europe — 103 partners in three years, has not been left to chance. Johan Schakenraad’s vast industry experience has traversed and converted many of the well-worn BMS integration paths with EasyIO and with his enormously talented team, Johan is looking anxiously across the waters. Pedro Jorge, CTO at EasyIO Europe: EnOcean technology adds another fully developed technology to the EasyIO product offering. EnOcean opens up not only the Residential market, but the hospitality suite market as well. The days of intrusive installations are almost over — and the reductions to both the installation and operational costs are two of the most critical price drivers in an increasingly competitive market. Barry Light, Fire and Ice, LLC: Special presentation on the EasyIO’s “Barry-App” for AON. The EasyIO FG-32 controller gave Barry, one of the leading experts on AON integration, HTML5, unceasing support through the critical path development phase, the additional memory and speed features he wanted, while eliminating the license issue and delayed support. Sponsor Presentations: Emilio Martínez de la Fuente, Head of Smart Metering at Telefónica, the number one Spanish multinational corporation. Overview of Telefónica’s own green initiatives, and the massive project undertakings in Germany, Brazil, and especially the UK, where Telefónica was awarded the project that will smart meter 2/3’s of the homes in the UK. Belimo’s Chris Jones and Tom Daenzer: First order of business was the opening of Belimo’s new 200,000 square feet production facility in Danbury, CT, facility, and the significance of the MP Bus story, that presents the realization — that every one of your Belimo DCA’s and Energy valves (which ALREADY have MP Bus embedded communications in them), means that when the integration moment is right, you’ll be able to add them to your network, using EasyIO’s FG-32+. As Belimo continues its partnerships, especially with EasyIO, it will continue to change the world of VAV’s and the best way to integrate buildings — conceptually, and one day, may include residential market. Radu Petrescu, Innon: Engineering and Intellectual Elegance at its Finest. Innon provides “Analytics that engage with your business.” Innon helps your business seamlessly integrate data from different sources by providing the analytics tools to help you take the right actions, whether related to contractual obligations, or to simply improve internal efficiency.

Worum geht es? Wenn Toyota ein neues Modell vorstellt, dann darf sich das Unternehmen der größtmöglichen Aufmerksamkeit sicher sein. Das ist auch beim Yaris der dritten Generation so. Michael Weyland hat sich nach den beiden ersten Yaris - Versionen natürlich auch die dritte angeschaut! Los geht´s! Zum Ersten, zum Zweiten und zum …. Dritten. Mit der Präsentation der dritten Generation des Yaris fügt Toyota der Erfolgsgeschichte des beliebten europäischen Kleinwagens ein weiteres Kapitel hinzu. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren lag der Marktanteil des Yaris in Europa in seinem Segment kontinuierlich über fünf Prozent. Die dritte Generation soll dafür sorgen, dass das genau so bleibt! Das Outfit ! „Außen kompakt – innen geräumig” lautet das Motto des Yaris seit der ersten Modellgeneration. Zentrales Design-Element ist die neue, V-förmig gestaltete Kühlermaske mit dem stark vergrößerten, unteren Lufteinlass. Die Seitenansicht des neuen Yaris verläuft steiler als beim Vorgänger, um dynamischer zu wirken. Power und Drive! Auch beim aktuellen Yaris setzt Toyota auf eine ausgewogene Motorenpalette für jeden Zweck. Die Käufer können zwischen verbrauchsarmen VVT-i Benzinmotoren mit 1,0 und 1,33 Litern Hubraum und 69 bzw. 99 PS und einem besonders sparsamen 1,4-Liter D-4D Turbodiesel mit 90 PS wählen. Natürlich erfüllen alle die Euro-5 Abgasnorm. Toyota bietet den Yaris optional mit einem neuen, stufenlosen Multidrive S Getriebe mit siebenstufigem sequenziellem Schaltmodus an, außerdem ist eine weiterentwickelte Start-Stopp Automatik zu haben. Die Innenausstattung ! Die auffälligste Veränderung im Innenraum des neuen Yaris bildet das neue, fahrerorientierte Cockpit. Es trennt die Bereiche von Fahrer und Beifahrer sauber und richtet das ergonomische Konzept des Yaris neu aus. Anders als bei den früheren Yaris Generationen sind die Instrumente beim neuen Modell direkt hinter dem Lenkrad statt zentral in der Mitte der Armaturentafel platziert. Alle Anzeigen sind für den Fahrer gut einsehbar. Das neue Kombi-Instrument weist einen großen, mittig angeordneten Tachometer im Analog-Design auf. Die Kosten! Mit 11.675,-- Euro geht es beim dreitürigen Yaris los, maximal kann man – ohne Extras – 18.750,-- Euro für den fünftürigen Diesel investieren. Das Gesamtbild! Schon die ersten Testfahrten haben es belegt. Toyota muss sich keine Sorgen machen, auch künftig beim Yaris mehr als 5 % Segmentanteil zu haben.

Suzuki Swift Due carrozzerie - 3 e 5 porte - due motori – 1.200 benzina e 1.300 diesel - due allestimenti - L e GL - 2 pacchetti di personalizzazione - Style e Top - e 2 tipi di trazione - anteriore e integrale - per un totale di 18 versioni a listino. La nuova Suzuki Swift si presenta in forze alla difficile sfida tra le compatte sportive di segmento B dove promette di essere all’avanguardia, all’insegna del motto “Nuova Swift, più Swift”. La nuova Swift ha debuttato la scorsa settimana con prezzi compresi tra 11.690 e 16.590 Euro, ma fino a fine anno la versione base potrà essere acquistata a soli 9.490 Euro come prezzo di lancio grazie anche all’incentivo Suzuki alla rottamazione. Per la trazione integrale bisogna aggiungere 1.000 Euro, così come il cambio automatico, ma entrambe queste dotazioni aggiungono ulteriore esclusività alla piccola giapponesina. Il pianale è stato riprogettato per offrire carreggiate più ampie, un passo allungato a due metri e 43 centimetri ed un peso ridotto di venti chilogrammi. La carrozzeria risulta più lunga di nove centimetri rispetto alla serie precedente per un totale di tre metri e 85 centimetri. Il frontale è completamente nuovo, mentre il posteriore conserva il look semplice ma di grande impatto del modello precedente. All’interno si respira un’atmosfera più sportiva e confortevole con colori nero e alluminio. La nuova Swift ha inoltre una rigidità torsionale incrementata del quindici percento, un baricentro abbassato grazie al nuovo telaio in acciaio altoresistenziale e freni a disco sulle quattro ruote per le versioni Top. Il motore benzina VVT da 94 cavalli consuma soltanto 5 litri per cento chilometri ed emette 116 grammi di CO2 per chilometro (113 con lo Start&Stop), mentre il diesel DDiS da 75 CV consuma appena 4,2 litri per cento chilometri ed emette soltanto 109 grammi di CO2 per chilometro. Si tratta di propulsori più leggeri e compatti capaci di associare buone performance all’eco-sostenibilità. Assolutamente ai vertici della categoria per sicurezza, come testimoniato dalle dotazioni base che comprendono ABS con ripartitore di frenata EBD, carrozzeria rinforzata, sette airbag, ESP e cruise control con comandi al volante.
