CVT transmission proved to be very popular based on previous generations of the Honda Jazz and return it triggered by requests from loyal customers who enjoy a smooth shift characteristics and ease of driving.

Exterior changes have been made to the car, both to improve the appearance of cars and reduce the drag coefficient to improve fuel economy. The front and rear are the main areas where aesthetics and aerodynamics have both affect the new look of the car. It has been designed to reduce drag as air flow through the body of the Honda Jazz and avoid turbulence, such as release from the rear.

Lights and front grille has also been tweaked to give a fresh face to version 1.2 and 1.4 liter cars.

Aston Martin Cygnet 2012 New City Car


Aston Martins are not really inspired by Ian Fleming's fictional branch-Q, although it sometimes looks like that. Consider new Cygnet. An end-June 2009 announcement, it marks a surprising and historic collaboration between the company's choice of 007 and motorcar industry-leader Toyota.


The Aston Martin Cygnet is a luxury city car manufactured by Aston Martin since 2011, and derived from the Toyota IQ. Its purpose is to allow Aston Martin to comply with the European Union's fleet average emissions standards to take place in 2012.

Aston Martin Cygnet Launch Editions; White and Black
• Aston Martin confirms launch details for new Cygnet city car
• Two special launch editions to commence production of city car at company's Gaydon headquarters in the    UK
• An Aston Martin Tailor-Fit solution for the city offering luxury and individuality.

The plot involving the impersonation worthy of a spy novel. Take the Toyota iQ drive front-wheel-small cars, which recently went on sale in Japan and Europe, adds flavor Aston styling and interior appointments, and then offer it to those monied as economical, useful city and suburban runabout with all the luxuries, comfort, and seal nameplate from Aston DB9, Vantage, or RAPIDE, plus super easy parking and decent low-emissions Greenpeace.

James Bond would appreciate Cygnet's impossible origins in a chance encounter between Aston CEO Dr Ulrich Bez and Akio Toyoda, the president pointed to the recent Toyota Motor Company in Japan and the grandson of the founder of the company. According to British magazine Autocar, the two moguls friendship struck in early 2009 at the Nurburgring 24 hour race, where the team they happen to share the garage space. Bez apparently offensive idea Cygnet, Toyoda-san willing, and Aston smallest ever published a few months later by e-mail tandem company.

The Cygnet will be available initially only in the UK, and then to other EU countries. Production and sales commenced in January 2011 and the market coverage will expand by 2012. Sales will not be restricted; however, it is expected that demand from existing Aston Martin owners for Cygnet would initially take priority. Aston CEO Ulrich Bez recently announced shipping expectations of about 4000 per year at a price of about £30,000. Bez states that the Cygnet demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation and integrity, whist respecting the need to satisfy demands of emissions and space.

The Cygnet has 98 bhp (73 kW; 99 PS) 1.3L straight-4 engine, it produces 110g of CO2/km and the fuel consumption is 58.9 mpg-US (3.99 L/100 km; 70.7 mpg-imp).

In BBC's Top Gear car magazine show (Season 15, Episode 3), the Cygnet was made fun of in the "News" section of the programme. Presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond all unanimously expressed distaste for the concept.

Students 21 years, Dhiaa Al-Essa is the owner of 30 supercars


When it comes to luxury car collections, the first name that strikes me is Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, who owns an ultimate collection of 7,000 high performance cars. Now, a 21-year-old engineering student from Riyadh named Dhiaa Al-Essa is in the news for his amazing collection for 30 supercars valued at £4.5 million.


One of the world’s most impressive supercar collections, it includes four Ferraris, five Porsches, three Lamborghinis, two Rolls-Royces and a Mercedes SLR McLaren. Oh yes…he doesn’t buy these cars himself, but his super-rich Daddy does. On his 22nd birthday, the car enthusiast will get from his Saudi businessman father a Koenigsegg Agera with gold key. A Bugatti Veyron is also headed to be part of his supercar collection.

Moreover, all the luxury cars he owns have a personalized number plate with the figures 070, which cost about £100,000 every time. Dhiaa Al-Essa said has he driven his cars to London, Montreal, Las Vegas and New York with his mates. He said…

I love speed but the limit in Saudi Arabia is 75mph so I’m pretty limited. When the Bugatti arrives, I hope to take it to Germany where you can drive as fast as you can.

The Mercedes McLaren SLR is my favorite. I love the way it looks and drives and it’s also been reliable for a car out in 50ºC temperatures.

At just 21 years of age, Dhiaa Al-Essa is the proud owner of 30 luxury supercars and it won’t be a surprise if we come back again telling you that he just ordered his 50th supercar.

Renault Wind 2011, Luxury Sports Car

Past Geneva Motor Show saw the world celebrate the first Renault Renault Wind, the two-seater coupe-cabriolet 3.83 meters long, which shows a very innovative way of opening. With a roof that opens the novel rotates very quickly, Renault Wind is a powerful call for freedom – bring a real fresh take wind-in-the-hair car. Renault Wind for drivers who covet a car that is not only different, compact, convertible but still functional enough for everyday use.

There is a need in Europe for a small convertible that can function as an everyday car, both for the drivers themselves or for couples without children. Renault do not see any reason why the freedom associated with wind-in-segment of the automotive thehair should be the exclusive reserve the higher end. Instead, customers fairly young (or young at heart!), Interested in the signal plot and sporty roadsters and look for visible eye-catching, and a model that is practical enough to serve as an everyday car.


When it comes to this type of car, style exterior is a major factor in purchasing decisions. Therefore, to attract the market, Renault Wind design needed to be dynamic and strong, and clearly modern. Viewed from the side, sporty Renault Wind, strong lines, sharp hat-earned, high waist, wide hips sculpture and an integral roll hoop immediately strikes the eye. Both roof-cover is located in the slipstream head cowls located roadster features distinctive and form a natural relationship between interior and exterior.

Expertise of the Renault Sport Technologies (RST) when it comes to automotive pleasure requires no introduction, and Renault Wind has vast benefits from the knowledge of engineers RST's. Staff at the engineering headquarters RST in Les Ulis, near Paris, France, in collaboration with teams from nearby Technocentre in Guyancourt to ensure that the Renault Wind fully benefit from the expertise of the best companies. The new coupé-roadster platform capitalizes on the strengths of two Clio RS is very suitable for the power output of two engines available for the Renault Wind, the TCE 100 and 1.6 16V 133hp. Know-how to engineer the RST allows them to achieve the best weight / body stiffness ratio for roadster-coupé, Renault Wind allows owners to benefit from a pleasant trip combined with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Besides returning a fuel consumption of engine size, this powerplant offers vigorously than 1.4 power output and torque of the 1.6-liter powerplant. It is equipped with a low inertia that ensures minimal turbo lag thanks to the fitment of small diameter turbine and compressor. Maximum power is 100hp (74kW) at 5500 rpm, while peak torque of 152Nm (3500 rpm).

The combination of small capacity of 100 cubic TCE and low inertia turbo ensures responsive pick-up from low revs, with peak torque available at very low engine speeds and at wide rev band. This includes feature turbochargers 'boost-over' that temporarily increases the power output and torque (by 5hp and 6Nm respectively) in second gear, third and fourth on the engine speed over 4,500 rpm. For added character, and the extra punch and response, TCE 100 engine drives through a short gearbox ratio five-speed manual (JH3).

The combination of TCE 100 engine's cubic capacity of the smaller and the technology is employed to maximize the enjoyment of driving, but combined cycle fuel consumption stands at only 6.3 litres/100km (equivalent to 145g of CO2/km). Renault Wind TCE 100 accelerates from stop to 100kph in just 10.5 seconds. 1.6 16V 133hp: engine, normally-aspirated with a flexible bag characters

Renault Wind is an alternative available to the Renault Sport Technologies-developed powerplant normally-aspirated 1.6 16V, especially field-tuned that serves as a direct pointer to the character of his fire.

With the engine under the bonnet, Renault Wind gives a lot of punch and enjoyment of driving at low engine speeds and while up to 4500 rpm, although it really comes into its own when pushed beyond the limit of 4500 rpm. Wind Renault 1.6 16V accelerates from stop to 100kph just 9.2 seconds and has a top speed of 201kph, yet fuel consumption has been there at 7 litres/100km (equivalent to CO2 emissions of 165g/km).
