The Chrysler - the inventors of the minivan - is bringing modern design to the segment with the 2013 Town & Country S model. Debuting at the 2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show, the Chrysler Town & Country S is the latest "S" model in the Chrysler line-up, joining the 200 sedan and convertible and 300 sedan. The Chrysler Town & Country S gets exterior and interior enhancements as well as some standard equipment commonly associated with top-line models.
Available in Brilliant Black, Deep Cherry Red, Stone White or Billet Silver, the 2013 Town & Country S gets revised trim that adds contrast to the minivans typically bright exterior treatment. A black chrome grille is combined with black-background Chrysler Winged badges front and rear, a black rear fascia step pad, "S" model badging, 17-inch aluminum wheels with polished face and black-painted pockets and blacked-out headlight bezels (delayed availability).
The interior features a monotone black interior unique to the Chrysler Town & Country S. It starts with the Black Torino leather seats with an "S" logo embroidered in the seat backs and black Ballistic cloth seat inserts. The seats also feature grey stitching as do the door armrests. Piano Black gloss appliques are found on the instrument panel and on the spokes of the black leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the Chrysler Winged badge on the wheel matches the black background-look of the exterior badging.

The segment-exclusive dual-screen Blu-Ray DVD system with HDMI input, two USB recharging ports, a 12v outlet and a 115v two-prong outlet is standard. This system, new for 2013, allows rear seat passengers to view standard and Blu-Ray DVDs or to play a high-definition video game system on the new, higher definition, screens. Wireless headphones allow back seat passengers to enjoy this state-of-the-art system without forcing front seat passengers to hear the accompanying audio.
The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country S also features a performance suspension that adds a new level of handling dynamics to the driving experience, yet still provides a comfortable ride thats expected in a luxury minivan.
Town & Countrys award-winning powertrain delivers best-in-class horsepower without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

A fuel economizer mode helps the driver maximize fuel efficiency, and premium, lower-rolling-resistance tires, and low-drag brake calipers and rear bearings make great fuel economy possible. Chrysler Town & Country achieves 17 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city, 25 on the highway.

Ford S Max 2 0 EcoBoost Review
With the second-generation Galaxy and Ford S-Max is started, which is the 5-seater and sportier version of the Galaxy. Visually, it differs mainly in the rear area of the Galaxy, but also the round fog lamps in the front end are a design feature of the S-Max.
Even more sporty he is tested by us 2.0 liter EcoBoost version and Titanium S-Type. Ford Individual body styling package, a center console "Piano Finish", a leather / Alcantara upholstery, 18 "alloy wheels, a roof spoiler, bi-xenon headlights, tinted windows from the B column, cruise control, heated front seats , a 2-zone climate control and much more on board.
Our test vehicle drenched in addition, with the driver package PLUS, the business package medium, the travel package, the seat package, scuff plates front with S-MAX logo and painted in candy red, which is the sporting Van particularly well.
Although the S-Max has been on the market for several years, he has still rough around the edges and seems to be the elixir of eternal youth to have to get on the road. Even newer representative of its class can compete neither with the sporty appearance even when space is limited.
The interior offers plenty of room, but it is designed so that you also might think that with a sedan on the road. Front of the driver is a very tidy dashboard, which is home to the modern speedometer with large display for navigation, radio stations and more.
Due to the large center console with cup holders and a comfortable armrest, he is very similar to the Mondeo. The grip leather steering wheel with contrasting stitching and the sports seats with perfect support convey a bit of a sports car feeling. The passengers in the second row in the travel business class on long-haul flights, at least as far as the leg-and headroom.
No wish unfulfilled and the trunk volume. With more than 700 kilos of payload and 854 liter capacity of the S-Max is clearly identified as Van. Who can do without the second row gets even up to 2,100 liters of cargo space provided, so the S-Max 2.0 EcoBoost is an ideal quick loadmaster.
And "fast" can be understood in the literal sense of the word. The new 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is a real goodie and gives the Van sporty acceleration data. The power of the turbocharged engine is 240 hp (176 kW) and maximum torque of 340 Nm the engine delivers 1900 to 3500 rev / min. He has been out of the rev range a very responsive power delivery, the word "turbo lag" is for the new Ford turbo engine is a foreign word.
The force is so immediately made available, that one must above all be very careful when parking maneuver. The S-Max bites at every little touch on the accelerator immediately enormous.
Very good for the characteristics of the car fits the Ford PowerShift automatic transmission. The 6-speed Direct Shift Gearbox impresses with fast switching operations, which are also designed to be very soft. Thus, the power flow is continuously present, and one to sprint in just 7.9 seconds from a standing start to 100 km / h The top speed is 235 km / h.
Yet despite its sporty engine performs its work even at full acceleration or at highway speeds very smoothly and quietly. The S-Max is recommended also as an ideal touring sedan with a perfect sound insulation offers great comfort.
Even the sports suspension provides enough comfort and filters bumps off perfectly. Ford has also found the S-Max is a very good match between sportiness and driving comfort. Nevertheless, the large van is like a board on the street, and you can measure exactly around tight curves without causing a capsizing feeling.
It is in such moments is easy to forget that you are actually traveling with a family van and no sports car. The very direct steering is also very pleasant, because it requires but rather higher steering forces, leading to the vote but it fits well.
With a length of 477 cm, the Ford S-Max move also quite handy and also loses its terror in the city. The large windows give a perfect view and provide good visibility. With the parking aid can also be estimated very accurately all the corners and perfectly maneuver in tight spaces. Nevertheless, the practical Ford feels more on the highway or freeway probably where he makes with his performance and good vote for a lot of driving pleasure.
Weighing in at just under 1.7 tonnes and the Van typical high build because you have to, especially in the city to expect an increased consumption, which can quickly crack the 10-liter mark. In mixed driving the S-Max has consumed during our tests around 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is indeed the work of the promised 8.3 liters, but for a car of this performance and class size is just under.
Who wants it more economical, can still pick up the diesel. The Ford S-Max 2.0 EcoBoost is especially for those the ideal choice, although they want a sporty car, but need plenty of space for passengers and luggage. The S-Max combines perfectly the versatility that a Van offers, with the driving performance of a sports coupe and can also convince with comfort, a perfect finish and a good equipment.

Toyota Scion FR S Minty Fresh The Freshmaker
In the U.S., praised Toyota for a prize of $ 10,000 for those who create a Scion FR-S, known to us as the Toyota GT 86, with only $ 15,000 budget a real “Bad Ass” vehicle, with all the possibilities, the tuning and pimping the only way to give up. The winner earned laurels as Chris Basselgia that the already very sporty Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh missed an especially noticeable mint-colored paint.
In consideration for the other concept cars of his colleagues feel the aerodynamic kit of Basselgia somewhat honest. The new, deeply drawn front has been specially designed by Juevos and Rmiller Autobody perfected to achieve a beautiful body line of “Minty Fresh”. Through the yellow fog lamps, the front has also received a more dynamic look. Who are the front closer look at notes that the windshield wipers are gone.
Remarkable…Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh
Perched on the back of a powerful diffuser Miller Auto Body, which is to reduce the total lift. Shine directly in the middle of two stainless steel tailpipes. The entire body kit is available with 19-inch alloy wheels and an air suspension – kept everything in matte black to underscore the mint green color and the Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh to set another color accent.
Inside, the tuner disguised the Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh with tapped aussehende leather. Moreover exchanged Basselgia the series against a classic Nardi steering wheel without airbag, including chrome-colored spokes. What completes the entire reconstruction of the passenger compartment, are the improvements to the sound system. Basselgia built a Sony XAV-6018T Double DIN and wired so that a few “JL Audio” amplifier. To this mega-sound system to miss more juice, gets an “Optima Yellow Top” battery used. Yes no one should complain about the sound is too quiet, is not it?
The 2.0-liter four cylinder normal Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh pimped Chris Basselgia on by an Eaton compressor that provides powerful additional power. A “IAG Performance” cooler ensures that the little when all the extra power under the hood is not in flames. The exact performance was unfortunately not Scion. It is believed that the Toyota Scion FR-S Minty Fresh generates around 280 hp and 352 Nm of torque.
What power of the FR-S Minty Fresh always hidden under the hood, the fact is that he, like his namesake, particularly on winding roads and especially here at home is the fun knows no boundaries.

Lotus Elise S Review
Lotus Elise came back with an entry level sports car is set to propel the Hethel based manufacturer of additional sales charts. The loss of the K series engine had temporarily created a hole in the Lotus portfolio "and loss of range was not good news for pure sports car lovers around the world. The challenge of" connecting the gap "has now been spectacularly addressed with the launch of the new Lotus Elise S - 6 0 under both - 60 mph sports car, available in an amazing £ 24K "on the street price." Lotus has shoehorned in a high-tech 1.8-liter 134 hp Variable Timing Toyota engine, which perfectly complements the phenomenal handling characteristics of the Lotus Elise. This book is a cracking new entry-level car, able to take you from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds just smile inducers (000-100 km / h in 6.1 seconds) and a top speed of 127 mph (205 KMH), the law allows! As a new entry-level car, the Lotus Elise S can not be the fastest or quickest Elise in the range, but the acceleration, performance and handling of the ruling class in the price bracket and belies the real substance of the cost and design a new vehicle - what is the sub-£ 24,000 roadster can reach 60 mph in 6.0 seconds under ? For the sake of comparison, the 2.0-liter Mazda MX-5 reaches the same speed in 7.9 seconds. Add to one of the lowest depreciation rates of all the cars on the market and purchase a new Lotus Elise S becomes one of the strongest retail proposals can be found. Lotus Elise S is built around the revolutionary and award winning extruded and bonded aluminum chassis with a lightweight steel rear subframe. casing itself weighs only 68 kg (150 lb) and the stiffness of 9500 Nm per degree. body design remains unchanged from the classic 190 hp Lotus Elise R - why change the winning aerodynamic package and an elegant Lotus design just for the sake of it?
Standard specifications of the car will also be happy, because nothing has been removed from the car to reduce the real value of money offered by a firecracker proposed new Lotus. Full Lotus Elise option menu is also available on Elise S, with the exception of a limited slip differential, ensuring the new car is very easy to customize the clients individual needs and preferences.
Driving experience
How to not only 134 hp (100 kW, 136 hp) gives phenomenal performance? First, the maximum power is reached close to maximum speed (rpm) from 6200 rpm and maximum torque (172 Nm to 127 lb-ft of honor) is reached at 4200 rpm. This provides a good combination of mid-range pull but also encourages the driver to operate the engine at a maximum speed of 6800 rpm motor. A red LED "change-up light" tells the driver when to shift gears, the point of illumination of the "red line" variable and depend on the speed selected. Implementation of any Lotus Elise is an experience like no other - and the Lotus Elise S is no different few cars can match the delicacy and accuracy of management, accelerator and brake Only Lotus has the relatively soft springs and firm damping to give control of the body .. tremendous experience and exhilarating driving and only Lotus can turn in such performance with such minimal environmental impact in terms of emissions and fuel consumption ..
It all comes down to a mild
Weighing just 860 kg, the Lotus Elise S is not only one fully homologated sportscars in the worlds lightest, but also one of the lightest cars in the world, period! Light weight has benefits for acceleration, the environment, handling, ride comfort and braking. Braking comes from AP Racing callipers at the front and Brembo calipers at the rear linked to 282 mm ventilated and drilled cast iron discs - you never can contact Elise under braked!
The system combines advanced ABS anti-lock system that is very disturbing and most drivers will not even notice its there - if necessary, of course, and even then the system keep a low profile smooth. ABS system is linked to a lightweight pedal box with steel arms and extruded aluminum pedal pads. This unit also has an electronic (drive-by-wire) for the gas engine response faster, smoother and more linear.
Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus plc, explains: "The arrival of our new Lotus Elise S is good news for lovers of Pure sportscars in all contracts for the profitability of the supply offered by the car is not the same and take the beautiful Lotus. Elise range back into the heart of the sports car market to the public. We now have a Lotus Elise to tempt the existing driver or self-MX-5 or MG is quite far from this offering more attractive. They now have the opportunity to get back in the car that is the essence of what we believe, a sports car concrete should be all! ".
