Pagani Huayra BC
The Pagani Huayra BC is the most technologically advanced Huayra Coupé yet, introducing innovative technical solutions which will be applied in the Pagani cars of the future. This not just a "restyling" of the Huayra, but a product that includes innovative changes in every part of the vehicle. It's a car that has a completely different personality to that of the Huayra Coupé.
Conceived primarily as road going car that will give the maximum exhilaration and performance during track days and special events, the Pagani Huayra BC has been inspired by its "track focused" predecessors: the Pagani Zonda R and the Zonda Cinque.
The name "BC" represents the initials of Benny Caiola, a person who has greatly inspired Horacio Pagani over the years. Benny was so impressed by the passion and technology of the cars Horacio was designing from the very beginning, he made history as the first customer to buy a Pagani Automobile.
In recent years we have been presented with products that have delivered a new direction for the supercar, introducing hybrid propulsion, a combination of combustion engine and electric motor.
After much careful consideration and research, Pagani Automobili decided not to go the route that others have followed and chosen instead to focus efforts on other technological areas of development that aimed to:
Create the lightest, globally homologated, Hypercar
Develop chassis and suspension systems that are derived from motorsport to deliver dynamic and secure car, fast and fun, that retains the comfort typical of a Pagani.
Develop a completely new AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) paying particular attention to both the performance and comfort, without compromising the weight and balance of the car.

Hero 6 To Be Announced By GoPro
If you've been following GoPro for the last few months through its Hero 5 production issues and Karma drone recall (now back on shelves), you're probably not surprised by a disappointing earnings report showing a net loss of $116 million. Now, the company has closed offices and shut down its entertainment division with an eye towards returning to profitability this year. Of course, for fans of its products, the question is what new devices are on the way, and while CEO Nick Woodman didn't drop any specific details, he did confirm that there will be a new Hero 6 action camera this year.

The Chevy Bolt EV Makes To 2017 Autoblog Technology Car of the Year
The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is a car that can truly democratize electric vehicles. That's why we've selected it as the winner in the car category for the 2017 Autoblog Technology of the Year awards
.Chevy's 238-mile electric hatchback faced some tough competition in our testing. The 2017 Acura NSX, with its advanced hybrid system, was certainly the performer of the bunch, while the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class impressed our judges with its many integrated technologies, including some of the best self-driving capabilities on the market and new NFC functionality to communicate with smartphone.
In the end, we selected the Bolt because it marks a big step forward in technology and value and has the potential to affect the greatest number of people. At a starting price of $37,495, it is the least expensive long-range EV on the market today, and it requires very little adjustment from what people consider a normal driving and ownership experience. For those who were on the fence about making the EV leap, the Bolt provides a comfortable entry into a new gas-free world.

Explorer vessels packed with Rolls-Royce green technology
Picture sailing on a cruise ship into a Norwegian fjord,
silently and emission-free. Fully electric propulsion on a passenger ship has
become possible.
The Norwegian explorer cruise line, Hurtigruten, is to build
its two new expedition ships using a new and environmentally sustainable hybrid
technology from Rolls-Royce. In fact, MS «Roald Amundsen» and MS «Fridtjof
Nansen» about to be constructed at Kleven Yard in Norway will be packed with
innovative Rolls-Royce solutions.
In addition to the hybrid power solution, the vessels will
have the latest of automation and control systems, including the Rolls-Royce
Unified bridge, the first delivery of two azipull propellers using permanent
magnet technology, two large tunnel thrusters, stabilisers, four engines,
winches and power electric systems. And of course the Rolls-Royce ship design.
Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce, President – Marine, said: “The
two new explorer cruise vessels for Hurtigruten represent somewhat of a dream
project for us; delivering our latest technology innovations into beautifully
designed and fit-for-purpose vessels.”
A hybrid sea journey
The hybrid technology for MS «Roald Amundsen» and MS
«Fridtjof Nansen» is planned for delivery in two phases. In phase one,
auxiliary battery power will provide large reductions in fuel consumption
related to “peak shaving”. In an
optional phase two larger batteries can be installed, enabling the possibility
of fully electric sailing across longer distances and over longer periods of
time. This propulsion will be used when sailing into fjords, at port and in
vulnerable areas.
Daniel Skjeldam, CEO of Hurtigruten, said: “The future of
shipping is, without a doubt, silent and emission free. We will use our new
expeditionary ships as groundbreakers for this new technology and show the
world that hybrid propulsion on large ships is possible, today.”
Hurtigruten, <span
class='nowrap'>Rolls-Royce</span> equipment scope of supply
Saves 3000 tons CO2 per year
The decision to invest in a hybrid solution is an important
milestone in Hurtigruten’s goal of sailing fully electric expeditionary ships
in the Arctic and Antarctic.
The technology, in combination with the construction of the
hull and effective use of electricity on board, will reduce the fuel
consumption by approximately 20 percent and CO2-emissions from the ships with
20 percent. This amounts to more than 3000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
“A passenger ship requires enormous amounts of energy to
operate, and so far, there have been no technologies able to fulfil the
requirements of a fully electric Hurtigruten ship. Hurtigruten’s new ships will
probably be the first in the world,” said Daniel Skjeldam.
Electric propellers
Another innovation to be installed on MS «Roald Amundsen»
and MS «Fridtjof Nansen» are main propulsion thrusters that use integrated
permanent magnet (PM) technology instead of being powered by separate
propulsion motors. Over the last two years, Rolls-Royce has launched a range of
propulsion and deck machinery equipment driven by PM. From 2017 a new Azipull
model will be on offer, and this is the product specified as the main propeller
units on board Hurtigruten.
Azipull thrusters with pulling propeller and streamlined
underwater skeg have proved highly popular propulsion units since they were
introduced in 2003. Over four hundred and fifty units have been manufactured by
Rolls-Royce (in Ulsteinvik, Norway) to date. With the introduction of electric
drive through the use of permanent magnets, a proven Rolls-Royce technology is
ensured a prolonged life according to SVP Propulsion Knut Eilert Røsvik: “We
expect to see a shift from mechanical to electrical propulsion systems, and we
are well positioned for this shift. We have invested in PM technology for more
than ten years, and already have a lot of experience with it.”
The PM motor provides a very high efficiency over a wide
speed range and reduces the space required in the thruster room. The propulsion
system is well qualified for ships with ice class demand. Combined with the
proven high propulsive and hydrodynamic efficiency of the azipull, this will be
a winning combination.
Engine efficiency
As part of the hybrid power solutions to the new explorer
vessels for Hurtigruten the newest diesel engines will be installed, the Bergen
B33:45. Since it’s launch in 2014, this medium speed engine has been chosen by
a variety of owners and yards for a range of ship designs, with 50 engines now
delivered or on order.
The engine offers 20 per cent increased power compared to
its predecessor, delivering the same output with fewer cylinders. This lowers
the costs through the engine’s lifecycle, and also allows for smaller machine
rooms on board. The engine meets the international environment requirements for
IMO NOx Tier III with support from a SCR system (Selective catalytic
Reduction). These four engines in combination with the use of batteries,
comprise the cornerstones of the innovative hybrid solution onboard
Hurtigruten.
Complete control
The captain and his team at the ship’s bridge, will
literally have Rolls-Royce innovations in their hands. Ship control systems has
developed fast over the last decade, and the number of screens, wires handlers
and equipment for the operators onboard increased in parallel. Rolls-Royce has
addressed this, and developed common control systems and a new Unified Bridge
solution to clean up the clutter and design more user-friendly bridge and
control stations for the crew. Ultimately, the result is a safer and more
efficient working environment.
The Unified Bridge represents a complete redesign of the
ship bridge environment, including consoles, levers and software interfaces. It
is said to be the most innovative bridge design available on the market today.

recently put into service along the Norwegian coast and will be sailing to the
Arctic from 2017.
Tesla Model X
Built electric from the ground up, Tesla Model X is designed
to be the safest car on the road. Tesla's own crash tests indicate that Model X
will receive a 5 star safety rating in all categories, the first SUV to ever do
so.
Not needing a big gasoline engine under the hood, Model X
has a large crumple zone to absorb the energy of a high-speed impact. The
battery's location on the floor gives Model X an extremely low center of
gravity, reducing the risk of rollover common in most SUVs. Aluminum pillars
reinforced with steel rails protect occupants and the battery while improving
roof stiffness.
Active Safety
Model X comes standard with automatic emergency braking and
side collision avoidance to prevent accidents from happening in the first
place. Tesla makes the only standard AEB system that works at high speed.
Every Model X carries a forward-looking camera, radar, and
360 degree sonar sensors to enable advanced autopilot features. Tesla's
over-the-air software updates regularly improve the sophistication of these
features, enabling increasingly capable safety and convenience features like
Autosteer and Autopark, and bringing the Model X ever closer to autonomous
operation.
Breathe Easy
Tesla Model X is the world's cleanest SUV on the inside,
too. The front fascia is designed with a functional duct that pushes air
through the first true HEPA filter system available in an automobile allowing
medical-grade air to fill the cabin, no matter what is going on outside.
Inside Model X
Model X Falcon Wing doors offer unprecedented convenience,
entry, and maneuverability for everyday life. They provide seamless ingress and
egress into the second and third row. No longer do parents have to cantilever
themselves to avoid hitting their child's head on the roof as they place them
in a car seat.
The double-hinged Falcon Wing doors open up then out,
requiring only 30 cm of space on the side of the vehicle. Each door is equipped
with capacitive, inductive, and sonar sensors to monitor surroundings and avoid
contact with obstacles around the car, making it possible to park in tight
spots.
The industry's first auto presenting door automatically
opens and closes as the driver approaches or exits Model X. Why should the
driver ever need to touch the door?
Monopost seats move independently, sliding and tilting
forward and back. They allow passengers easy access to the third row and give
them plenty of foot room when they sit down.
See
The windshield in Model X stretches up and over the front
seat occupants. Second row passengers get a first row vantage point with an
expansive view ahead, atop the falcon wing door, and beside them. The
windshield's solar tint transition completes the modern and open feel.
Listen
Seventeen precisely positioned speakers bring concert hall
like sound inside Model X.
Touch
The 17" center touchscreen seamlessly integrates media,
navigation, communications, cabin control and vehicle data into one intuitive interface.
Many functions are mirrored on the instrument panel and are voice-activated to
focus the driver's attention on the road.
Whether big or little, there's a place to store it in Model
X. Side pockets, a center console and a blind holster for your iPhone.
Fit everything
Tesla Model X provides unprecedented space for passengers
and cargo. With three rows of seats, a front and rear trunk, and room under the
second row seats, there's ample room for people, luggage, and big things like
surf boards and bikes. For even heavier cargo, Model X is the first electric
vehicle with a 5,000 lb. tow capacity.
Performance
At the heart of the vehicle is Tesla's proven electric
powertrain, accelerating Model X from 0-60 in a staggering 3.2 seconds and
hitting a top speed of 155 mph, all while producing zero emissions.
Designed with Tesla's electric vehicle architecture, Model
X's floor-mounted battery gives the vehicle a low center of gravity and ideal
weight distribution for exhilarating performance and superior handling.
Aerodynamics
At 0.24, Tesla Model X has the lowest drag coefficient of
any SUV in history.
Model X comes standard with an active spoiler that
automatically adjusts to three positions for maximum visibility and efficiency.
Under 45 mph, the spoiler is positioned so the driver can see above and below
it. At higher speeds the spoiler partially retracts for improved highway
efficiency (+1.6%), and optimizes the vehicle's lift distribution. Model X is
the only car with an active spoiler equipped with a center-high-mounted stop
lamp (CHMSL).
All-wheel drive
Dual motors digitally and independently control torque to
the front and rear wheels to give Model X unparalleled control of traction
while increasing performance and efficiency.
Signature Tesla Model X comes with a 90 kWh battery
providing customers a driving range of 250 miles on a single charge.

Nissan Rogue One Star Wars Edition
The name association is obvious - Nissan Rogue meet
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," the first-ever standalone Star Wars
story. It's only fitting then that Nissan and Lucasfilm, the studio behind the
latest addition to the Star Wars movie empire, join forces for the first-ever
full-size production vehicle to include Star Wars- branded elements, the
"Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Limited Edition."
Based on the extensively redesigned 2017 Nissan Rogue
compact SUV, just 5,400 copies of the Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Limited
Edition will be produced - 5,000 for customers in the United States and 400 for
Canada. In addition to the wide range of custom features and equipment, each
vehicle also comes with an exclusive numbered, full-size replica collectible
Death Trooper helmet.
"The Nissan Rogue and the first Star Wars standalone
movie share more than just a name. The Star Wars film franchise has pushed the
boundaries of technology since the debut of the original episode nearly 40
years ago," said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communications
& Media, Nissan North America, Inc. "Nissan is doing the same with its
industry-leading cars, trucks and SUVs like the new Rogue - our most advanced
Rogue to date - so it's natural that the two join forces."
The 2017 Nissan Rogue is showcased in a series of Star
Wars-themed marketing efforts by Nissan that demonstrate the vehicle's
Intelligent Safety Shield technologies and the Nissan Rogue's ability to
"conquer any battle." The first special effects-heavy commercials debuted
in late October. But while the marketing shows the new Rogue in a simulated
Star Wars battlefield, the Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Limited Edition
stands on its own as a truly unique, collectible, real-world vehicle.
Based on the 2017 Rogue SV grade level with Panoramic
Moonroof and offered in all-wheel drive, it features signature LED headlights,
black grille and lower finisher, black rear door finisher, black roof rails and
door handles, D-pillar "Rebel Alliance" and "Galactic Empire"
logo decals, "Star Wars" logo clear rear bumper protector and Rogue
One logo badging on the front doors.
Inside, special features include logo carpeted floor mats,
"Star Wars" logo illuminated kickplates, "Rebel Alliance"
and "Galactic Empire" logos in cupholder inserts and interior accent
lighting. It is offered in just two colours - Magnetic Black and Glacier White
- and one interior colour, charcoal.
Like all 2017 Rogue models, the Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star
Wars Limited Edition is powered by a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder
rated at 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Also standard are the
next-generation Nissan Xtronic transmission with Sport and Eco Mode switches -
along with Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Start, Bluetooth®
Hands-free Phone System, Streaming Audio via Bluetooth® and SiriusXM® Satellite

Lamborghini Aventador S (2017)
The
new Lamborghini Aventador S is characterized by new aerodynamic design,
redeveloped suspension, increased power and new driving dynamics. The 'S' is
the suffix of previous enhanced Lamborghini models and defines a new benchmark
for the V12 Lamborghini.
"This is the next generation
Aventador as well as the expression of new technological and performance
milestones in super sports car development," says Automobili Lamborghini
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali. "The Aventador S
is visionary design, cutting-edge technology and driving dynamics in pure
harmony, and elevates the concept of super sports cars to a new level."
Design and Aerodynamics
The design of the new Lamborghini
Aventador S clearly indicates the new Aventador generation. The Aventador S
features a number of exterior developments, particularly in front and rear,
while its profile remains clearly an Aventador. Every modified component is
redesigned for a purpose, achieving maximum aerodynamic efficiency while
accenting the Aventador's complex, muscular dynamism. Furthermore, Lamborghini
Centro Stile has intelligently integrated certain elements of past icons, such
as the lines of rear wheel arches reminiscent of the original Countach.
A more aggressive nose and longer
front splitter redirect airflow for better aerodynamic efficiency, improved
engine cooling and increased cooling to the radiators. Two air ducts in the
side of the front bumper reduce aerodynamic interference from the front tires
and optimize wake flow to the rear radiator.
The
rear of the Lamborghini Aventador S is dominated by a black diffuser, available
on request in carbon fiber, characterized by a number of vertical fins that
amplify the airflow effects, reduce drag through pressure recovery and generate
downforce. Three single exhaust outlets exit through the rear bumper.
The
active rear wing is movable in three positions depending on speed and drive
select mode, and optimizes the car's improved overall balance, working with
vortex generators created in the front and rear of the chassis' underside that
maximize air flow as well as assist in brake cooling.
The
Lamborghini Aventador S design results in significantly enhanced aerodynamic
performance. Front downforce has been improved by more than 130% over the
previous Aventador coupé. When the wing is in its optimum position the overall
efficiency at high downforce is improved by over 50%, and in low drag by more
than 400% compared to the previous model.
Four
masterpieces evolve driving emotion: Four-wheel drive, new active suspension,
new four-wheel steering system and the new EGO driving mode
The
Lamborghini Aventador S chassis retains the Aventador's unique and extremely
rigid lightweight carbon fiber monocoque with attached aluminum frames
resulting in a dry weight of just 1,575 kg.
The
Lamborghini Aventador S is redeveloped around a 'total control concept' to
provide a superior drive, ride and performance; every aspect of the car's
suspension and electronic control systems has been advanced, with the goal of
particularly enhanced control and driving emotion.
Enhanced
lateral control comes from new four-wheel steering, adopted for the first time
on a series production Lamborghini. The system provides improved agility at low
and medium speeds and more stability at high speed. On the front axle it is
combined with Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS), tuned for a more natural and
responsive feel with a sharper turn-in. It is specially adapted to integrate
with the active Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering (LRS) on the rear axle: two
separate actuators react in five milliseconds to driver's steering movements,
allowing a real-time angle and cornering stiffness adjustment.
At
low speeds, front wheels face in opposite direction to the steering angle,
thereby virtually reducing the wheelbase. With less steering wheel angle
required, the Lamborghini Aventador S is more agile with a reduced turning
radius, ensuring higher performance in curves and making it easy to maneuver in
town and at low speeds.
Conversely
at higher speeds both front and rear wheels share the same steering angle, thus
virtually extending the wheelbase, providing increased stability and optimizing
the responsiveness of the car.
Vertical
control comes from Lamborghini's updated pushrod and Lamborghini
Magneto-rheological Suspension (LMS), with revised kinematics adapted to the
new four-wheel steering. New suspension geometry, optimized for Lamborghini
Rear-wheel Steering, includes upper and lower arm and wheel carrier to reduce
caster and load on the system. A new real-time variable damping system
optimizes wheel and body control, and balance and ground stiffness is
maximized. New rear springs also enhance the car's balance.
Longitudinal
control is achieved via an improved ESC strategy with faster and more precise
control of traction control and vehicle dynamics, depending on the driving mode
selected. Extensively tested on surfaces such as snow and ice, the Lamborghini
Aventador S has improved adhesion detection to maximize grip in all conditions
and enhance its handling capabilities. The Aventador S permanent four-wheel drive
has been calibrated for the stabilizing effect of the new Lamborghini
Rear-wheel Steering, allowing more torque to the rear axle: when powering off
the throttle, less torque is shifted to the front axle to allow oversteer
behavior and a sporty, but safe drive.
Lamborghini
engineers have integrated the smart Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Attiva (LDVA)
control unit to manage these systems in the car. LDVA is the new brain of the
car, which receives real time and precise information on body motion via input
from all sensors of the car. It instantly defines the best set-up of all active
systems in order to guarantee the best vehicle dynamics in each and every
condition.
EGO
concept - customizable driving modes
The
Aventador S allows the driver to select between four different driving modes:
STRADA, SPORT, CORSA and the new EGO mode, which influence the behavior of
traction (engine, gearbox, 4WD), steering (LRS, LDS, Servotronic) and
suspension (LMS).
STRADA
stands for maximum comfort and daily use. SPORT provides a sporty, rear-wheel
drive feel and CORSA is suitable for maximum track performance.
EGO
is the new driving mode option. This provides several additional and individual
set-up profiles, customizable by the driver, selecting his preferred criteria
for traction, steering and suspension within the STRADA, SPORT and CORSA
settings.
All
driving modes have been recalibrated in the Lamborghini Aventador S, improving
ESC integration with all-wheel drive and the interface between engine torque
management system and traction control reaction. The continuous torque split to
front and rear axles in each driving mode is recalibrated for the Lamborghini
Rear-wheel Steering and the differentiation between the driving modes is
enhanced.
In
STRADA, the progressive damping is smoothed for better comfort and stability on
rough roads. Torque is split 60/40 to the rear and front as standard: safe and
stable with maximum adhesion, the car is easily driven and controlled.
In
SPORT mode, the stabilizing effect of the Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering
allows up to 90% torque to the rear wheels for maximum sportiness and driving
fun on curving roads. Driving precision and driver feedback is improved, while
maintaining safety and without compromising on comfort. When powering off the accelerator,
less torque is shifted to the front axle to enhance the car's agility, with
oversteer and drifting easy using light throttle and steering wheel control.
In
CORSA, drivers experience less intrusive dynamic and traction control
intervention while maintaining driving precision and traction. High levels of
damping force maximize driver feeling and feedback from driver inputs including
steering, braking and throttle. Counter-phase steering is enhanced in
high-performance situations and torque is balanced to both axles, with a
maximum 80/20 split to rear and front for more neutral behavior and to maximize
track-oriented performance.
The
engine and exhaust
The
Lamborghini Aventador's naturally aspirated twelve cylinder, 6.5 liter engine
outputs an additional 40 hp over its predecessor, to a maximum 740 hp, with a
690 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. To achieve the power increase, both VVT
(Variable Valve Timing) and VIS (Variable Intake System) have been optimized in
order to obtain an enriched torque curve. Additionally, the maximum engine revs
have been increased from 8,350 to 8,500 rpm.
A
dry weight of just 1,575 kg provides a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.13
kg/hp. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is reached in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed
of 350 km/h. Transmission is provided by Lamborghini's lightweight Independent
Shifting Rod (ISR) 7-speed shifting system, providing robotized gear shifts in
up to 50 milliseconds.
The
Aventador S adopts a new exhaust system developed as the result of a
significant R&D project. More than 20% lighter than its predecessor and the
product of testing multiple configurations, the results are an enhanced
Lamborghini sound and resonance from the already inimitable V12 aspirated
engine, with the three single pipe outlets at the rear of the Aventador S a
visual reminder of the new exhaust system.
As
in its predecessor, the Lamborghini Aventador S is equipped with a
stop-and-start system and cylinder deactivation for optimized engine
efficiency. When full engine capacity is not required, six of the twelve
cylinders are temporarily deactivated by switching off one cylinder bank. When
the driver accelerates, the system switches back instantaneously to
twelve-cylinder mode, with the changeover virtually impossible to detect by the
driver.
Tires
and braking system
The
Aventador S sits on a new, specially developed set of Pirelli P Zero tires.
Designed to optimize steering, traction, lane changes and braking efficiency,
the tires are specifically designed to respond to the dynamic behavior induced
by the Lamborghini Rear-wheel Steering, ensuring handling consistency and
driver feedback. With improved force generation from both front and rear tires,
the Pirelli P Zero tires provide a higher lateral acceleration and reduce
understeer characteristics.
Carbon
ceramic brakes are standard equipment for the Aventador S. The ventilated and
perforated carbon ceramic discs (Ø 400 x 38 mm - Ø 380 x 38 mm) enhance braking
performance from 100 km/h to standstill in 31 m.
Lamborghini
Aventador S - a driver's environment
The
cockpit of the Aventador S brings new functionality and refinement. A new TFT
digital dashboard can be customized according to the driver's preferences, with
different kombi screens for STRADA, SPORT and CORSA in conjunction with the EGO
mode. Selected from the driving modes options on the control panel, the EGO
button reveals further options on pop-up digital screens, allowing the driver
to choose his preferred settings.
AppleCarPlay
comes as a standard specification, allowing the cockpit's occupants to manage
voice activated communications and entertainment from personal Apple devices.
The
Lamborghini telemetry system is an optional specification: recording lap times
and track performance as well as trip data, the telemetry system is especially
appealing to the owner who wants to take his car on track.
The
interior specification of the Aventador S is virtually limitless through
Lamborghini's Ad Personam customization program.
