Detroit in 2008 was unable to please serial abundance of new products - not tried, the most interesting premiere, almost all of whom are waiting - Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Audi Q5 - to the automotive capital of America never arrived. But to the Russian crowd of journalists thrown countless number of conceptual development, which clearly point to new directions in which the industry will evolve.
The leader in terms of the number of conceptual innovation has become a concern General Motors. Here that neither brand - the concept. Cadillac proudly talking about crossover Provoq, edakom hybrid future, which in addition to lithium-ion battery installed and motor fuel cell, hydrogen zapravlyaemy. For an internal combustion engine does not have enough seats, but already the maximum mileage from this rather large car approaching close to 500 - kilometre mark. A similar engine was presented and Saturn Vue Hybrid Plug-in. These models are already very close to the batch production - GM model range of electric vehicles and hybrids reinforced in 2010. Saab announced the long-expected crossover 9-4X, it is true, and here is not without environmental cost notes - 9-4 H works on bioethanol. 2-liter turbodvigatel adapted by the use of biofuel E85, develops up to 300 hp capacity and up to 400 Nm of torque, while consuming a whole cycle in the mixed 10.5 litres of ethanol per 100 kilometers. Saab 9-4X BioPower is equipped with six automatic CPR and proprietary drive system complete XWD. The serial version crossover is expected to be little different from the concept. Her appearance on the market is planned for 2009. In addition, the GM was pleased to stand another concept of the brand, rarely loving dream of the future - HUMMER HX. Double Length SUV is just a millimeter 4343, the width - 2057 millimetres, and the wheelbase - 2616 millimetres. Notably, the concept has received a removable roof. Cross-cabriolet equipped with a 3.6 - liter engine SIDI V6 and 6 - step automatic transmission.
Chrysler this year, it's not able to please serial abundance of new products, but at the concept of "ottyanulsya." Dodge introduced Zeo, 4 - Local coupe fitted with an electric motor. Motor power of 268 hp Up to 100 km / h monster machine for 6 seconds, and reaches its maximum speed of 210 km / h. Although the primary purpose of designers was to create environmentally friendly vehicle, Dodge Zeo sportcoupe looks like a real, albeit with a somewhat controversial design. Jeep showed cross-breed and buggy SUV called Renegade. Jeep brand name for a landmark - under this name before selling modified legendary Wrangler. The same open double car Cap and rear seats - complete contrast to the classic vezdehodu. At Renegade is a hybrid engine. Instead of frontal glass Renegade received small samples of air. Concept is equipped with lithium-ion batteries, one charging that he can travel around 65 kilometres, and Bluetec diesel engine with a fuel consumption of all 2.1 litres per 100 kilometres. Chrysler showed the same sort of cross-breed and driving hetchbeka called EcoVoyager. "Friendly" to the environment crossover equipped with a hydrogen engine and electric motor power of 268 hp, eating from a lithium-ion battery. At one charged, and one tank of hydrogen ecoVoyager can drive 480 kilometers. True, there is little to count on the appearance of anything similar to the model of gamma Chrysler - money from cars to develop such sophisticated serial buses is not.
Ford can be proud of SUV Explorer America. This - perhaps one of the most beautiful concepts Ford brands in the past few years. If at least half of the design inputs that will go into a series of cars, competitors will modestly before the onslaught postoronitsya so purely checked with sophisticated engineering of the community. Under the hood - chetyrehtsilindrovy dvuhlitrovy motor promising series Ecoboost: 275 hp and 380 Nm. Lincoln introduced the luxury crossover MKT. Platform car borrowed from another crossover, published concern, Ford Flex. As MKS sedan, a new crossover equipped with the turbocharged 3.5 - litre V6 engine operating on biofuel E85 or gasoline high degree of purification. Motor power ranges from 340 hp torque at 460 Nm point to 415 hp torque at 540 Nm moment. The car is equipped with a 6 - step automatic transmission. And yet belonging Ford'y Land Rover off-road coupe introduced conceptual LRX. Created to 60 - marks anniversary, the SUV-sized, even less than the Freelander, although seemingly more like a Range Rover Sport. Perhaps in the future something like a gamma in the Land Rover, unless a mark not withdraw from the financial loops.
One of the main show at JMS Detroytskom Motor became RA concept presented by Mitsubishi. Sports coupe with doors, "guillotine" equipped with a 2.2 - liter 4 - cylinder diesel engine with four valves per cylinder. This unit gives up to 201 hp power and 420 Nm of torque. In doing so through a new catalytic converter and particulate filter is in line with the motor and the latest revision of European and American environmental standards. Another innovation implemented at Mitsubishi RA concerns of the body. At a spatial frame mounted aluminum panels from the elastic rezinoplastika, which, among other things, can be almost completely recyclable.
Mazda showed something with hard to classification. Furai - is not a concept in the true sense of the word. This is - the current racing design with the race car body, capable of showing excellent time in passing on the terms of any route. Chassis concept-car racing inherited from the Courage C65, was participating in the championship Le Mans in 2005 and 2006. Bolide equipped with a 450 - powerful rotary engine operating on 100 - a percentage of ethanol.
