Fuel Culture Hyundai Genesis Coupe Turbo Hot On Your Heels

What do you get when a supplier of tuning products allows complete freedom in the design of a normal coupe? Right, an awesome level with the right fire under. This happened between FuelCulture and Hyundai. Result: the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Turbo Concept with robust 320 hp and a maximum torque of 328 Nm under the hood.

320 hp is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is not usually expected, but this has usually offer the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Turbo only respectable 277 hp. But if to be pimped, then boasted instead spilled. Since 43 hp more directly be fetched from the box. To keep the extra power under control, built the makers a “boost controller” and a new “ARK DT-S” exhaust system in order to ensure a better response during switching and reduce the top speeds the boost pressure. The improved pulling power to the inmates literally squeeze the smile on your face.

If up until this point has not yet been possible to twist the head will not turn away his eyes from the optics, for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe Turbo Concept of Fuel Culture comes up with a beefy front. The rich dark red color “Candy Apple” exudes an air of sin. The new hexagonal front grille seems to grin smugly, as if he knew exactly what he looks like.

New, deeply drawn, dynamic bumper, striking side skirts and a rear apron with integrated diffuser stately pull the car by 50 millimeters apart. In the new 19-inch wheels made by Rotiform that support the aggressive sporty look, attracted the makers of “Continental Extreme Contact DW” tires (front with 225/35 and rear 265/30).

Changes in the interior reduced Fuel Culture to a minimum. The comfortable Alcantara sport seats, the rear bench and the insides of the doors are color matched and stitched diamond pattern. If that’s not enough, you can also still turn up a sonorous sound system from Rockford Fosgate. At least here, not only have all heads turned, there are also a lot of stalk eyes. Guaranteed!

Dodge Adds Fuel Sipping Dart Aero

Dodge has been rightfully accused of both getting wrong and completely misreading the compact car market in North America for years. The advent of the Alfa Romeo based Dodge Dart, which has been on sale since last summer is going a long way of reversing that, but Dodge is hardly resting on its laurels. While enthusiasts await the sporty Dart R/T this month, Dodge has announced the addition of the Dart Aero.

In an economy which is still lagging, and in the face of rising fuel costs, there is a strong focus on compact sedans. Buyers not only demand style, performance and technology, but strong fuel economy as well. Most of the major players like the Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus and Honda Civic offer a more fuel efficient version of their car, and Dodge now joins those ranks with the Dart Aero. To improve fuel economy over other Darts, the Aero features weight-saving aluminum chassis components, active grille shutters for improved air flow at the nose, an under body aero kit, a lower profile and low rolling resistance tires.

The Dart Aero will start at $19,295USD. Standard will be a 1.4L MultiAir turbocharged four cylinder rated at 160hp. Since fuel economy is the name of the game, a Dart Aero with a six-speed manual will get 41 MPG on the highway. Opting for the six-speed dual dry clutch transmission drops that figure to 40 MPG. Production of the Dart Aero commenced this summer, but Dodge gave no word as to when it would arrive in showrooms.

Under the guidance of parent company Fiat, Dodge has done an about face with its compact car offering with the new Dart. Yes, the bread and butter mainstream models are fully accounted for, but the performance oriented R/T and the fuel sipping Aero show that Dodge is finally in-step with the competition in offering something to suit most compact car buyers tastes, whatever they may be.

The picture says it all: 11L/100km of the Pug vs. 7.6L/100km of the Pogo. The pogo definitely have weight plus gearbox advantage ... so this is quite a cheap car to run (translates to RM0.15 per km) not to mention my speeding and this is a new car so it might improve a bit later on.
