Hibrid cu spirit sportiv de la Mugen (+ video)

Tunerul de casa al japonezilor de la Honda a gandit un pachet aerodinamic pentru hibridul Insight, botezat Zero Lift.

Pentru cei care erau de parere ca un hibrid nu poate inspira sportivitate sau performanta, Mugen a pregatit un kit aerodinamic care va schimba conceptiile invechite. Tunerul de casa al celor de la Honda si-a dorit sa dea nastere unui Insight mai agresiv decat cel de serie, capabil sa arate tuturor ca formele sportive se pot regasi si pe un hibrid.

Botezat "Zero Lift", kitul imbunatateste aspectul exterior dar, asa cum o sugereaza si numele, imprima si o aerodinamica mult mai buna. Pachetul include, printre altele, un spoiler frontal nou, cu proiectoare de ceata, o grila frontala revizuita, praguri laterale, un spoiler posterior nou cu deflector din fibra de carbon si un eleron montat pe hayon.

Teava de esapament cromata, triunghiulara, si jantele de 15 si 16 inch din aliaj completeaza aspectul sportiv. La cerere, clientii Insight pot opta si pentru o suspensie noua pregatita special de Mugen, care imbunatateste dinamica modelului si coboara garda la sol cu 20 de mm. Sistemul inteligent de monitorizare a presiunii din pneuri i-TCMS, covorasele personalizate si pedalele din aluminiu completeaza lista optionalelor pregatite de Mugen.

    Nu ar fi stricat...

    ...si ceva putere in plus dar si un comportament mai putin subvirator decat pare sa se intrevada din imagini.

    @enevik

    cred ca esti singurul, sau printre putinii care nu pot face diferenta....intr-adevar forma este aceeasi, dar acest lucru se datoreaza faptului ca are cel mai bun coeficient aerodinamic...ptr ca masina sa consume cat mai putin si sa aiba performante decente, avand in vedere ca au propulsie hibrida...asta-i explicatia ptr care ti se par la fel

    vanzari excelente in Japonia

    http://www.whistlerquestion.com/article/20090216/WHISTLER17/302169980/1030/honda-sees-brisk-demand-for-cheap-hybrid-insight&template=cpArt > TOKYO - Honda Motor Co. said Monday that demand for the Insight, the cheapest hybrid vehicle on market, is soaring in Japan with orders topping its monthly target of 5,000 in just over a week. The Insight gas-electric hybrid, which starts only at 1.89 million yen (US$21,000), hit showrooms across Japan on Feb. 6. The launch of the cheapest hybrid vehicle came amid a devastating slump in the global auto market. But Japan's No. 2 automaker said demand for the Insight has been so brisk that the company has received more than 5,000 orders, easily beating its monthly target. "This is so much better than expected. The Insight is priced below two million yen, and is energy efficient. We believe consumers like these aspects," said Honda spokeswoman Natsuno Asanuma. Even before the launch, Honda had received about 5,000 orders for the Insight, Asanuma said. The Insight goes on sale in April in the U.S., and in March for Europe. Honda's Insight is cheaper than Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius, the most popular hybrid, which sells for $22,000 in the U.S. and 2.3 million yen in Japan. Hybrids tend to be more expensive than regular cars because they come packed with both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. Switching between the systems, depending on speed, boosts mileage. Toyota sold 285,700 Prius cars worldwide last year, and will introduce a remodelled Prius starting in May. The new Prius is bigger and has a more powerful engine than the current one, and likely to be more expensive.
