The Z8 is a roadster for connoisseurs: its unitary aluminium spaceframe, high-performance V8 engine and brilliant design serve to make this homage to the BMW 507 a firm favourite without further ado. Capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in less than just five seconds, the Z8 quickly assumes pole position in the top-of-the-range sports car market.  (after BMW official)

Image
 4.60 meters will have the Dacia Bigster SUV, the largest and most expensive model of the Romanian brand ever built. The model will be presented for the first time in Paris, on October 14, on the first day of the Mondial de l'Auto show. The price of a car will be over 20,000 euros. The price of the Bigster model might not be to the liking of many. The vehicle is very similar in terms of design to the new Duster. The cost of the Bigster model may not be to the advantage of cheap buyers, although Bigster it is superior to the Duster in several ways, including money. Depending on the features and functions that the Romanian SUV has, it can have a rather steep cost. The mentioned source shows that the new model "fights" with huge competition, which is why the mentioned price could be low compared to what others are offering. As for the big release of the model, people have a little more to wait. The Dacia Bigster will arrive on the market a year after the new Duster generatio

Nissan 1st training center 4 electric vehicles

Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Nissan , Green Daily "I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole!" That's the statement we often hear when it comes to working on potentially dangerous electric vehicles (EVs). This anti-EV sentiment can be heard from shadetree mechanics and old-timers who aren't specifically trained to work on the high voltage, amped-up inner workings of EVs - or first responders who know the dangers to the inexperienced - but we often hear similar ramblings from trained automotive technicians. Nissan aims to put the myths of danger associated with working on EVs like the Leaf to rest by training technicians at its newly opened technical center in Livermore, CA.

Epic EV to supply Electric DeLorean with composite bodies

-
Image
Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Lightweight , USA The arrangement that has Epic EV supplying the drivetrain for the DMC Electric DeLorean has apparently been working out so well that the two companies have decided to tap yet another of Epic's areas of expertise: composites. Weight management is an important aspect of electric vehicle design and it was realized that DMC could shave 200 pounds off their retro-futuristic product by replacing the old-school fiberglass material that makes up the main part of the chassis with a modern lightweight resin-infused composite. Not only that, but the new stuff is much stronger, which gives the Electric DeLorean better roof crush and side impact protection. Epic, of course, has been using composites in its boats for some time and CEO Chris Anthony learned much about using it in automotive applications while creating the now-dead Aptera (sniff) . While we look forward to seeing more of the modern Electric DeLorean in action, we also can't help w
