(FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, today announced that the all-new Subaru WRX (US specifications) has made its world premiere at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The product concept for the all-new WRX is“ Pure Power in Your Control”. Reigning in the intense power and superior environmental friendliness of the 2.0-liter Horizontally-Opposed direct injection turbo“ DIT” engine with a body and chassis thoroughly stiffened, the new WRX has drivers rejoicing at the free reign they have over this high-powered machine. Also, along with the standard six-speed manual transmission, Sport Lineartronic has newly been adopted to the transmission. In addition to smooth shifting mode, the Sport Lineartronic comes with an eight-speed manual shift mode with sharp shifting response, allowing more drivers to enjoy a spirited drive. Equipped with a Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel drive) system built around Subaru’s Boxer engine, the WRX is the symbol of Subaru AWD sport performance. Ever since the first model hit the streets back in 1992, the WRX has gained worldwide support from sports car enthusiasts as a distinctive sports sedan combining impressive sport performance with the practicality of a four-door sedan. Subaru WRX (US specifications) ［Main features］ ■Product concept “Pure Power in Your Control” The product concept“ Pure Power in Your Control” was established during development of the new WRX.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing

    The Lexus Range Experience Amazing

    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

So, generally, play increases at the beginning of use, but decreases over time. When free play reaches zero the clutch will begin to slip because the release bearing is turning at all times.

    The Bcd Model for Biomechanical Application

    THE BCD MODEL FOR BIOMECHANICAL APPLICATION F. Robache*, H. Morvan*, P. Polet**, M.-P. Pacaux-Lemoine**, F. Vanderhaegen** * LAMIH- Human-machine Systems Team ** LAMIH – Biomechanical Team UVHC – UMR CNRS 8530 – LE MONT HOUY 59313 Valenciennes Cedex 9 – France email : {frederic.robache; herve.morvan; ppolet;marie-pierre.lemoine ; vanderhaegen}@univ-valenciennes.fr Abstract For years, automotive engineers have been working to improve vehicle safety by using dummies, human corpses and animals to test safety systems. However, in most cases, crash tests do not consider drivers differences, much less their reactions. In reality, no one can make real crash tests with living drivers. Current approach is to simulate crashes using a driving simulator to analyze driver’s behaviour, especially before and during a crash incident. A campaign was organized on a static simulator, during which 40 subjects were asked to drive a 50- kilometer runway and finally were exposed to a virtual crash. Some driver pre-crash positions are analysed with numerical simulations, reproducing the situation of a head-on collision at about 50km/h. The results of runs highlight critical situations which could lead to serious injuries. Designers provide their car with protective barriers. These barriers are efficient if some postural condition are respected. This paper describes most particularly how we used a BCD approach to understand why drivers land up in critical position at the time of pre-crash. The goal of this study is to purpose a framework in order to describe and analyse the consequences of a deviated behaviour faced protective barriers such as air bag. Keywords : Biomechanics, BCD model, Safety, Car driver, Crash 1 Introduction The BCD approach was initially based on indicators that assess the consequences of deviated human behaviours on several criteria.
