Mercedes F800



Today, Mercedes-Benz design style is gradually changing, new ideas continue to demonstrate. In the recently from the Mercedes-Benz F800 Style concept car, we can see a lot of new ideas, also it shows us a new design philosophy.
In the external form, F800 concept car is a four-door coupe, so this design is likely to appear on the next-generation CLS.
F800 also shows off Mercedes’ green drivetrain development. It is powered by a plug-in hybrid. It has 19 miles in electric-only mode, but when the petrol engine is running, things become rather more impressive: 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
In addition to power system, on F800 concept car, it also appears two new security technologies. For one thing, Distronic Plus Traffic Jam Assistant; another is PRE-SAFE 360system.

Direct Fuel Injection 911 Carrera

With millisecond accuracy, DFI injects fuel at a pressure of up to 1740 psi directly into the combustion chamber by means of electromagnetically actuated injection valves.
The spray and cone angles have been optimized for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture, and, therefore, effective combustion. With direct injection, the EMS SDI 3.1 engine control regulates injection timing individually for each cylinder as well as the injection rate for each cylinder bank. This optimizes the combustion process and fuel economy. A hot-film air mass meter takes care of the airflow, so that the combustion chambers contain exactly the right mixture at all times.
DFI improves the internal cooling of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio (12.5:1) which helps to deliver more output along with enhanced engine efficiency. It has therefore been possible to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 15%, depending on the model.

My blog


This blog is part of my work. My project is about the sports car, it will use the blog as the medium. It will offer comprehensive information of the sports car. I choose the sports car as the topic of my project, because I am keen on the sports car. In my mind, the sports can is regarded more as art rather than a simple vehicle.
My project is about the sports car. So the content will focus on the information of sports car. According to the target audiences, the blog will have three main parts- the car news, the cars and the engines. The car news is about the latest news about the sports car, for example the release of the new car, the price adjustment etc. The cars is about the normal information about the sports car, for example the feedback of the driver, top 10 sports cars etc. finally the engine, this is the special section in my blog. The sports car enthusiasts always have passion on the speed and want to be clear which car has the fastest acceleration and how the top speed it can be. In order to meeting these interests, I will exploit the engine information in this section. In order to make is more visual, I will insert video in this section. The video can be made by myself, also it can be applied from other websites, like top gear and Youtube.

I reckon on the support from the car enthusiasts.
