The Volkswagen Kai-Nalu is a concept sports car designed by Spanish designer Josep Ferriol. The vehicle is futuristic sports car and is inspired by the waves of the Mediterranean Sea as they smash into the shoreline. The Kai-Nalu also includes a flowing glass upper section, which has been designed to mimic the sea.
The Volkswagen Concept Josep Ferriol includes the clear roof, highly stylised wheels and an electric drivetrain with two separate motors and design of Kai-Nalu is somewhat controversial and certainly no please everyone. But in a world where there are many supercars that follow the same formula and same style, the Volkswagen Kai-Nalu is refreshing and different.
Ferriol is quite aware of how bold and probably controversial the Kai-Nalu would be, given the tendency for certain modern cars to follow similar design patterns.
Designed to be powered by a zero-emission electric engine, the vehicle features highly stylized wheels which have been inspired by the appearance of bicycle wheels.

The New 2010 Volkswagen Passat


The new 2010 Volkswagen Passat focuses on packing as much comfort and dependability into a small car as possible, but it also features plenty of safety features. All styles of the Passat feature an Anti-Lock Braking System, which helps prevent the brakes from locking and causing the vehicle to slide. The front end has been designed to be crash optimized, with shock absorbing pads and properly placed crumple zones to protect the driver during front end collisions.
All 2010 Passats come standard with 6 airbags, located around the vehicle to optimally protect every passenger. Customers can also upgrade the airbag system to add two additional airbags, for extra safety in case of a crash. Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution is a newer feature that VW has added to this car. EBD allows the vehicle to add extra braking power to any wheel, allowing for a more controlled braking experience. If you slam on your brakes hard to avoid hitting another car, more weight and pressure is pushed onto the front brakes. The EBD system allows the car to add extra power to the front brakes to compensate, therefore avoiding sliding or loss of power.
This car also features a host of more minor, but still important, safety features. Like many new cars, this one features a built in tire pressure sensor, allowing the driver to monitor tire pressure electronically from inside the vehicle. Safety belts, shatter resistant glass, and all of the other regular safety features are also included in all packages. For anyone concerned about the safety of the vehicle they drive, the Passat has enough safety features to protect the driver and passengers during any situation.

2009 Volkswagen New Beetle Final models

volkswagen_new_beetle_cabriolet.jpg

Signifying the end of what has been a long run, Volkswagen has introduced “Final Edition” models of the New Beetle coupe and convertible. Each will be limited to a run of just 1,500 units. Under the hood is VW’s familiar 2.5-liter inline-fine (rated at 150 horsepower) sending power to the front wheels through a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission – nothing new there. However, the German automaker has fitted a full sport suspension and unique 17-inch alloy wheels to each of the New Beetles to add a touch more driving excitement.

Cosmetically, the Final Edition models feature Aquarius Blue paint. The hardtop version breaks up the color with a black roof and integrated fog lights, while the convertible model has a two-tone Aquarius Blue/Campanella White paint scheme and a white top. Special badging is found on the front quarter panel and on the steering wheel. The hatchback version hits showrooms with a base MSRP of $20,240 and the convertible starts at $27,170.

Volkswagen L1 Concept Redefines Classic and Aesthetic vehicle traits.


Volkswagen L1 Concept

In the world today the
Volkswagen L1 Concept is unique. Thanks to a carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) body, it weighs just 380 kilograms. The two-seater is powered by a new common rail turbo-diesel (two-cylinder TDI) and an electric motor. With its average fuel consumption of 1.49 litres diesel per 100 kilometres, this fully road-ready and extremely aerodynamic L1 (Cd 0.195!) is advancing to become the most fuel-efficient hybrid automobile in the world. CO2 emissions of the 160 km/h fast concept car are just 39 g/km. If the Volkswagen L1 were to also go into production in 2013, it would debut an entirely new lightweight car concept and introduce a new era in automotive production.
The TDI, E-motor and 7-speed DSG are located at the rear, and they combine to create the most fuel efficient road-legal car hybrid drive in the world. Proof of this are its 1.38 litre per 100 kilometres fuel consumption and 36 g/km CO2 emissions.Naturally, the Volkswagen L1 also has a Stop-Start system that automatically shuts down the engine when vehicle has stopped and restarts when the accelerator or E-pedal is pressed.
The TDI engine in the
Volkswagen L1 Concept is a new development. Yet, even here Volkswagen has been able to exploit synergies to design an engine that is both innovative and cost-effective.
Gear shifting work aboard the Volkswagen L1 is handled by the 7-speed DSG, which is one of the most innovative automatic transmissions in production.
The Volkswagen L1, equipped with ABS and ESP, has a top speed of up to 160 km/h - this is remarkable considering its fuel efficiency. With maximum acceleration from a standstill, the two-seater reaches 100 km/h after just 14.3 seconds. The fuel tank holds just ten litres yet, this is sufficient for a theoretical driving range of about 670 kilometres, given the car's 1.38 litre average fuel consumption.

Volkswagen L1 Concept

Talking about car driving as 'piloting' might sound out of place, but in the case of the
Volkswagen L1 it is wholly appropriate. The driver (in the CFRP tube frame seat) and passenger (in the fixed CFRP seat that is part of the monocoque) sit one behind the other.
To start the Volkswagen L1, the driver pushes a button on the right side of the steering wheel. When it is rotated, the round start button simultaneously serves as a gear selector switch and is used to activate the electronic handbrake (Drive, Neutral, Reverse and Park). The entry canopy and rear hatch are opened electrically by touch controls to the left and right of the driver. Also designed as touch sensors are controls for the entire air conditioning control system. Via multifunctional keys in the steering wheel, the driver controls the on-board computer, navigation and entertainment systems.
The classic door mirror and rear-view mirror have been completely eliminated on the Volkswagen L1. In their place, cameras display images on OLED-active (OLED = organic light emitting diode) displays located on the left and right sides of the instrument panel. A Park Distance Control (PDC) system makes parking easier as well.
Both technically and visually, the CFRP body is already a significant achievement in car design. Unique on this car: the proportions of its dimensions. While the length of the Volkswagen L1 at 3,813 millimetres is still similar to that of a Volkswagen Fox, and its height of 1,143 millimetres nearly matches that of a Lamborghini Murciélago, the car's aerodynamically optimised width (1,200 millimetres) has no comparisons in the world of today's production cars.
The two-seat monocoque, including the tubular frame driver's seat and passenger seat as well as the exterior body skin, all consist of CFRP. There are no doors. Instead, the driver and passenger climb into the Volkswagen L1 from the top.
The reason that CFRP is the ideal material for the Volkswagen L1 body is demonstrated by considering its weight and strength.
And there are other advantages: the material's extremely high stress limits and its ideal forming properties for even the most challenging of design features.
The design and styling of the Volkswagen L1 Concept - function and form - combine to form one uncompromising unit. Walter de Silva, Head of Design for the Volkswagen Group has this to say: "The design of the Volkswagen L1 redefines classic and aesthetic vehicle traits. Especially significant, of course, is how the nearly rocket-shaped lines catch one's attention. All of its moving parts are integrated so accurately that the body resembles a rocket or jet. It is a body that cuts through the air with minimal aerodynamic resistance.

BlueSport Volkswagen Concept clean diesel 2.0-liter TDI engine


Volkswagen Concept BlueSport

Is the latest
The new Volkswagen Concept BlueSport addition from the German manufacturer which offers maximum driving fun with minimal fuel consumption! Why we say minimal fuel consumption? Because the new concept is powered by a clean diesel engine, with common rail injection and downstream NOx storage catalytic converter delivers dynamic performance, capable to deliver an impressive 180 hp (132 kW) (although it was not confirmed we are sure that this is a 2.0-liter TDI engine).
Volkswagen Concept BlueSport

The engine is connected to a
6-speed DSG dual clutch transmission which transfers the power to the rear wheels. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is made in just 6.6 seconds while the top speed is limited to 226 km/h (147 mph). Due to the fact that the vehicle integrates two technologies that are part of the so-called Eco mode, automatic start-stop system and energy regeneration ( both of them deliver an additional fuel savings of up to 0.2 liter per 100 kilometers in city driving ), the vehicle delivers an impressive fuel consumption of just 4.3 l/100 km or 54.7 mpg. As you can see from the photos the Concept BlueSport was unveiled in a Flex Silver finish with an orange fabric convertible top while at the interior we find an easy to operate touchscreen and veather upholstered seats in lightweight construction with their single-piece seatbacks.
