CONTINENT THAT IN A LEAGUE ALL STAR CONTINENTAL would win?!?! (FIFA 17 EXPERIMENT)
Our German correspondent slices and dices the latest rumblings, news, and quick-hit driving on the other side of the pond impressions may say Jens Meiners His signature, but we simply call the Continental.
In 2013, Qoros launched at the auto show in Geneva and I wrote at the time that the brand could permanently change the perception of Chinese cars I think he's the former Mini chief designer Gert Hildebrand came with a unique style language, always applied, and cars were designed with the participation of Magna Steyr heavyweights, AVL List, Mahle, Bosch, Continental and in the Euro NCAP tests, 3 Qoros scored brilliantly, demolishing prejudices that Chinese cars are not safe and technologically inferior.
On the Chinese market, a joint venture Qoros Chery and an Israeli investor has not been successful; sales and production figures are well below capacity, but its formula a Chinese car near premium with German technology is interesting enough to be copied by newcomer Borgward, a subsidiary of Beiqi Foton has resurrected a forgotten German plate since a long time.
I recently spent several days with a hatch Qoros 3 and 3 Qoros sedan; cars are registered in Munich, where the brand maintains a presence of the company and a design studio How these vehicles take on difficult and the autobahn roads.
Very well, in fact The interiors are spacious, with plenty of back seat of a requirement in China area, but what really impressed me was the style and performance of their thick, steering wheel with flat bottom and automatic shifters look and feel cheap; touch screen monitors allow slipping, and they have a load point perfectly situated for your iPhone, allowing you to operate while driving I consider UI Qoros a benchmark in its segment.
The qoros 3 line is powered by a 154-hp 1 four-cylinder 6-liter s mated to an automatic transmission type torque converter six power speeds comes quickly and without undue delay turbo, but the automatic could be quicker to respond especially as there is no sports program what struck me is the comfort level of the engine is quiet, the cabins are very well insulated, and it is not necessary to raise the voice in travel well greater than 100 miles per hour chassis are slightly comfortable side as well, but cars are still firmly planted in the asphalt.
German Qoros genes are clearly present, and these are, hands down, the best Chinese cars on the market in the future, the company is working on Electrics full, but it is not giving up on the combustion engine with internal Koenigsegg, Qoros currently working on an engine without camshaft, with many more benefits package power and clear, I am delighted to see how the so-called Qamfree technology will transform a Qoros 3.
Another Chinese company backed Faraday Future FF, headquartered in Los Angeles, is responsible before dethrone Tesla as the most innovative manufacturer of electric vehicles with a team of engineers and design shows, FF offers will the futuristic mind blowingly 1000 -HP supercar shown at CES earlier this year was a bit of a teaser and a distraction I hear that the company is working on three models; first on the market will likely be an ultra-powerful luxury sedan of the upper class, followed by the cross that was teased in a corporate video The third fully electric model goes to the mass market, as the vaunted 3 model that the company Tesla promised for late 2017, a little over a year.
FF application providers to bring their most forward-looking technology to the table, and cars have a futuristic user interface These cars are all in virtually all respects unlike Tesla, which tempers its innovative powertrain with a classic design and includes as the impromptu technology as it can to limit the cost and complexity down.
In the design community and beyond, Syd Mead is revered as an icon; visual futurist aged 83 has shaped films like Blade Runner and Tron, and aesthetic have inspired designers generations its own wheels A Adriatic Cadillac CT6 he just took delivery Design is tight, he wrote, making the praised the integrated line of separation in the rear and the quality of the gem as forward Beautiful car, he said he gathered 900 Facebook likes in 18 hours, including mine.
