Nissan Leaf



Three days ago, the Japanese automaker Nissan has revealed its latest car. It is called Leaf and it is the first electric car that is designed to be sold worldwide, like any other regular car.



The Leaf can reach up to 100 miles (160 km) on its lithium-ion battery, which can be full charged in about an hour with a quick charger, or in about eight hours on a regular plug, at home.



The Nissan Leaf is the natural evolution of cars in these days where people and governments are hunting CO2 high production rates. Indeed, this car does not produce any CO2 or any other greenhouse gases. Yet, although the autonomy is quite good, the Leaf is going to be a great city car, but not a long runner.

Well, at last a good-looking electric car!

The New Ferrari 458 Italia

The famous Italian automaker has recently revealed its latest jewel. As it can be seen on the official website of the marque, the brand new F458 Italia will be officially released at the next Frankfurt Motor Show. And what we can see on the pictures is already mouth-watering!



A car one more time designed by Pininfarina, the F458 Italia is a two-seater berlinetta with a mid-rear engine. The technology used is allegedly taken from the Formula 1 experience. And the sound is said to be typically Ferrari! I didn't have the chance to listen to it but it must be a good one.



According to the figures provided by Ferrari, the F458 is producing only 320g/km of CO2 and the fuel consumption is just 13.7 l/100 km,which makes it the most effective car in this segment. In the same time, this beautiful car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4s with a maximum speed of 325 km/h.



Fast and beautiful. This is going to be a great Ferrari.

A Focus on Peugeot

On this blog we will try to write some articles about cars as a rule. Today's article will focus on the French make Peugeot.

Originally a grinder maker, Peugeot has released its first model in 1889, and the Peugeot company was then founded in 1896 by Armand Peugeot. Although the current headquarters are located in Paris, the historical place of birth of Peugeot is Montbéliard, eastern France. Nowadays, the plant in Sochaux (next to Montbéliard) is the biggest plant in France with more than 12,000 workers.

Peugeot is the second largest auto manufacturer in Europe after Volkswagen, with almost 3,500,000 units produced in 2007. The famous models of Peugeot include the 403 (Lieutenant Columbo's car), the 205 or, more recently, the 406.

In 1976, Peugeot bought the French automaker Citroën and formed an entity called PSA Peugeot Citroën. It is interesting to know that the Peugeot family is still a major shareholder of the company.

The future Peugeot models to be announced are a 308 coupé and the 408.
