Bondovi avti
Beli Lotus Esprit
Lotus Espirit S1 je Bondov avto, ki ga je vozil v filmu The Spy Who Loved Me, ki so ga posneli leta 1977.
V filmu so mu dodali, kot so tudi vsakemu Bondovemu avtu mnoga smrtonosna orožja in neverjetne zmogljivosti. V tem filmu je imel možnost plavanja pod vodo. Seveda v tistih časih niso morali narediti takšnega avtomobila, zato so to posneli z maketo v pomanjšani verziji. Takšen trik je navdušil ljudi mnoge ljudi po svetu.
Ta avtomobil so pred kratkim prodali za 650. 000 evrov. Vendar takšnega avtomobila, ne moreš voziti po cesti.
Pri Top Gear so izdelali prototip tega avtomobila in ga tudi preizkusili.

One of the most exspensive cars
This is the Lamborghini Veneno
In a week when they've put a comedian in parliament and a pope in a helicopter, it's perhaps unsurprising that the Italians have also made this Lamborghini Veneno.
Veneno was a fighting bull. One of the strongest, fastest bulls there ever was. He is, however, most famous for gorging a matador to death in 1914. He was a murderbull. The Italians, it could be said, are at their very best when they stop taking their pills...
This, then, is a three-of-a-kind - and completely road-legal - showpiece based on the Aventador. It has the same 6.5-litre V12, boosted to 739bhp with a 220mph max. It has the same permanent 4WD, inboard pushrod suspension and carbon monocoque chassis. It costs 3.000.000 Euros - plus tax - and the trio of owners has already been found. It has been built to celebrate Lambo's 50th birthday, and though it would cheaper to make a cake, that's not how they do business. It's why we love 'em.
The front end is all beaky for the purpose of excellent airflow, and essentially works like a giant wing to push the nose into the ground. And the muscled arches are there to swoosh air around the car while reducing lift and increasing downforce. The underbody is flat and smooth. The rear wing is adjustable. Even the alloys - 20s at the front, 21s at the rear - feature carbon rim-rings that works like turbines to swirl fresh air onto hot carbon-ceramic brake discs.
The car was shown off in Geneva. Future of Lamborghini Veneno is ‘undecided'. And if you think a generous cheque may persuade them to sell you one, remember, they have a history of doing this sort of thing. Remember the Aventador J? It was strictly a one-off, made for one wealthy man, and that is how it shall remain. Although one thing did sneak through the net: the J's revolutionary ‘carbonskin' upholstery now also appears in the Veneno.
E-tron, R8 hibrid
Audi R8 e-tron (road car)
I've been driving Audi's all-electric supercar. It was huge fun. Well, it's been a long time coming. And after all that, it's not long going.
If you've a long memory you might remember a concept from 2009 simply called the Audi e-tron. It looked slightly like an R8 but it wasn't. The body was very different - it was even a different size - and it had pure-electric drive. Each of the four wheels had their own motor. Audi said it would go on sale in 2013.
Rash thing to say. During development the concept got watered down, so finally it's RWD only (though more powerful than originally planned), and uses a body the same size and shape as the R8's - although a quarter of it is carbonfibre to cut the weight. And then they decided it wouldn't, after all, go on sale.
They've built ten fully-developed prototypes, they're road-legal, and they will be used in trials to gather data on battery performance and electronics. These parts are modular across the whole VW group, so it's good info. Even so, it's not the original pledge.
Overall weight is 1780kg. The chassis is absolutely chocka with exotic components to cut weight versus the standard R8. The heavy engine and gearbox are absent of course, too. But that doesn't offset the mass of the huge battery. At least it sits low and centrally in the car, so it isn't bad for cornering.
There are two motors in the middle of the rear, and each drives one wheel. They aren't mechanically linked, so there's no diff. Each motor makes 140kW (190bhp) so that's 380bhp in all. At low speed there's all the acceleration the tyres can use, and 0-62mph disappears in 4.2 seconds, but the acceleration would peter out towards the motors' rev limit at about 150mph, so instead the car is limited to 125mph for efficiency's sake.
It works amazingly well, and yet the car feels natural, easy to predict and understand. Switch the ESP to 'sport' and it'll even drift a bit. It's astonishing how quickly the e-motors can react to changing circumstances: far faster and more subtly than using brakes or cutting and reinstating the power in normal ESP systems.
But Audi boss Wolfgang Duerheimer gives other reasons. "We are a premium company. Our customers don't want to miss out on any day-to-day desire." The desire he refers to is that of arriving at your destination. He means that being stuck by the roadside with a flat battery isn't a premium experience.
He also says the R8 e-tron would be too expensive to build - all that carbon, all that battery. This means it would have to sell at a loss. "If we used the A3 and A4 to subsidise a flagship, well that's not very polite to those customers," he says icily.

Last model of Volkswagen Golf
VOLKSWAGEN GOLF VII. GENERATION
Volkswagen boss Martin Winterkorn is pushing hard to reach his target of surpassing Toyota and making VW the world’s No. 1 car brand by 2018. To accomplish that goal, Winterkorn is bringing the next-generation Golfto market in 2013, a year or two earlier than planned. But that’s not the only reason the new Golf couldn’t wait. The latest VW Polo has grown in size and refinement, effectively closing the gap between it and the current, sixth-gen Golf.
The next Golf will have styling to differentiate it from the rest of the hatchbacks in VW’s lineup. Expect edgier bodywork and lower and wider dimensions. Wheelbase and overall length will grow slightly to increase interior volume. There will be no experiments regarding packaging, as a VW engineer says: “[Expect] higher-quality materials and some innovative features. That’s it!” What will be new is an eight-inch touch screen on top of the center console that will work like an Apple iPad or iPhone and provide radio controls and navigation, as well as in-car Internet access.
Another reason for the Golf VII’s earlier arrival involves cost cutting. Underpinning the body will be the new Modulare Querbaukasten (MBQ) architecture that also does duty in the next Audi A3, likewise due in 2013. MBQ is the Volkswagen Group’s revised front-drive, transverse-engine platform: All cars on it will have the same distance between the front-axle line and the foot pedals, a move that greatly reduces the number of front-end structures used by VW and its subsidiaries. Today, the conglomerate claims to use 18 different front-end modules, a number that will be reduced to two. In all, more than 60 models of the Volkswagen Group (Škoda, SEAT, VW, and lesser Audis) will be built on the MQB, enabling a tremendous cost savings. VW’s luxury brands will continue to use their own dedicated platforms.
Powering the new Golf will be the now well-known, turbocharged and direct-injected (TSI) gasoline four-cylinder engines. Displacement will range from 1.2 to 2.0 liters, with output as high as 300 horses in an all-wheel-drive variant. All diesel engines will be new and will meet Europe’s stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, which begin in 2014.
The Golf VII will be adaptable to a number of alternative powertrains and designed to carry compressed-gas tanks, batteries, or hybrid units. A plug-in hybrid Golf, dubbed “Twin-Drive Golf,” will have a 31-mile electric range before the gas engine kicks in to increase the range to 372 miles. According to Winterkorn, VW is prepared to sell 300,000 electric vehicles per year by 2018. Presumably, none of those will be Golf carts.
