Ford Explorer 2011 Review It Keeps All The Authenticity And Capability Of A Tough Truck Based SUV

Ford Explorer 2011 Review - Ford unveils its redesigned 2011 Explorer now a dedicated page on Facebook, nearly six months before the date of sale of the car this winter. The Explorer is always a very important car for Ford, which said 95% of all car buyers to identify the name. Thus, the new Ford Explorer 2011 was a difficult task: it must maintain the authenticity and the capability of a sturdy truck-based SUV, or you must be a "no-compromise SUV that offers families sense of adventure" even if they use around the city.
In 2011, Explorer offers one of the first Ford few years, a system of land management related to the much more expensive Land Rover LR4. It allows the driver to choose one of four settings to recognize the road surface and also offer Hill Descent Control, which is the only pilot to fly, while car accidents at a safe speed.

In 2011, Explorer offers two engine options, but Ford will probably spend much more time to discuss the smallest of the two: a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four generating 237-hp, which creates 250 pounds-feet of torque as far as the engine of 4.0 liters V base -6 in the previous Explorer. Ford is extending an efficient EcoBoost engines boldly into the car more lines, and 2011 Explorer is the second direct-injection EcoBoost turbo four. Ford Explorer ie another engine, a 290-hp, 3.5-liter V-6, corresponding to the power of the previous models optional 5.0-liter V-8. As the four EcoBoost V-6 has two camshafts timed separately.

The new 2011-model has a long, opening the door step to reveal more than what you imagine you can look at it, but broad enough, if it is clearly different proportions. Although the proportions to cancel 2011 Ford Explorer is a race of large seven-passenger transporter and stuff, and shows it. Inside, the decor is a significant step up previously Explorer. It totally car-like, and only the rotary knob Terrain System Management console with a central button, Hill Descent Control, to give away on the pavement outside the property.

Mercedes Ener G Force SUV Concept

Mercedes Ener-G-Force
 All this will not in its current form, not a car fanatic who hopes the iconic G-Class is about ten to twenty years from now is. Mercedes also wants nothing more than this and to get to anticipate the business has been a design competition held on how the G of 2025 should look like. The radical Ener-G-Force went with the profits made off.

The Mercedes Ener-G-Force is sprung from the Los Angeles Design Challenge 2012 as preparation for the auto show in two weeks in the American metropolis will start. There are two versions, the so-called "Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025", a digital visualization of the police car of the future, and a civilian version. The latter should not be taken literally because you have to admit, the Ener-G-Force is monstrous!

Utopia
the world of 2025 looks to the designer of the Ener-G-Force not that much different than now, but there are very different requirements. Also on cars. They must be capable of anything, carefree their occupants convey, each field can drive and if possible no drop of petrol or diesel wasting. Will the G-Class in which Utopia also claim a right to exist; he must conform to all here. The Ener-G-Force can according Mercedes without the iconic identity of the--to nullify.

Hydrogen
The 1:1 scale model that the brand has built is actually based on an existing G-Class and will be shown at the Los Angeles Motor Show. But that is also immediately said everything. Would the Mercedes Ener-G-Force into production, he would weigh significantly less than the current G. And the environment completely relieve rides the study on hydrogen. Four electric motors in the hub of each wheel ensure that each individual is driven and if necessary adjusts itself to the terrain. Tanks on the roof filled with recycled water and then led to a hydro-tech converter which then generates energy to the fuel cell module to activate. The storage for the recovered electrical energy are in - yes - the side sills. In theory, the range about 800 kilometers.
