The driver can also set specific personal destinations via an SD card and four alternative routes can be displayed on the navigation map, one of them an economical variation. The fast hard-disc navigation system of COMAND also has new features such as 3D city views and recording of drive routes which can be recalled later. This features an additional MOST amplifier with DSP and an output of 8 x 50 watts plus ten high-quality, high-performance loudspeakers. All the amplifier channels of the sound system are equipped with frequency compensation individually suited to the vehicle acoustics. The cylinder liners distort as if the cylinder head were in place, and are only then given their mechanical surface treatment. Unique "Spectacle" honing is another measure to reduce friction and therefore fuel consumption: in this sophisticated and complex process, the cylinder liners receive their mechanical surface treatment when already bolted in place. Cast-in Silitec cylinder liners ensure low friction for the eight pistons. Because reports of incentives vary considerably and often include hard-to-quantify infrastructure spending by local governments, Molot (2005) lists a low and high estimate.
The setting up of a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure for electric vehicles with fuel cells is an important factor for the market success of this technology. The Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG is the perfect embodiment of the new AMG brand claim of "Driving Performance": in the compact high-performance Roadster segment there is nothing to compare to its combination of tangible driving dynamics, superior sportiness, unique high-technology and low fuel consumption. Its new AMG 5.5-liter V8 engine featuring cylinder shutoff combines the ultimate in performance with the lowest possible fuel consumption. In line with its "AMG Performance 2015" strategy, the new V8 engine continues to reduce both the fuel consumption and emissions of new models over the next few years - while reaching new heights with the central brand claim of "Driving Performance". With a range of models on offer from mid-size sedans to SUVs, the iconic German automaker sets the standard for performance and class.
Standard driver and front passenger, optional thorax and side-curtain air bags add extra protection. They will also feature the ECO start/stop function as standard. Alongside certain menu items, such as trip data or consumption figures, the driver can now also view the navigation display data or the ECO display in the instrument cluster. Numerous design features are identical, such as the displacement, bore/stroke, distance between cylinders, ECO stop/start system and direct gasoline injection technology. At the moment, there are around 32°C at the Sepang Circuit just outside the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, with increased chances (60 to 70 %) of thunderstorms at the hour of race (16:00 Local Time). In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. The model start-up of the new minibuses will be staggered and will reflect the availability of the Sprinter: it will start later this year with the Sprinter Transfer 23 and 35, the Sprinter Mobility 23 and the completely re-engineered Sprinter City 75. The rest of the models in these series will follow next year, as will all models of the Sprinter Travel.
The company was initially financed by Bertha Benz, and Gottlieb Daimler finalized the patent in 1886. Wilhelm Maybach’s conversion attributed to the petrol engine later that year. Cost varies on year. This is because the operating point is transferred to the higher load range. As soon as the driver has a need for more power and leaves the partial load range, cylinders two, three, five and eight are activated. Audiophiles are able to choose the optional Premium 1 Package featuring Harman/Kardon surround sound system. AMG knows how to package it, too. The crankcase of the new AMG 5.5-liter V8 engine features a diecast allaluminum construction. No other gasoline engine features direct injection at a pressure of 2,900 psi, spray-guided combustion and piezo injectors, all in conjunction with map-controlled cylinder shut-off, an all-aluminum crankcase with "spectacle" honing, fourvalve technology with continuous camshaft adjustment, a high compression ratio of 12.6:1, a stop/start system and generator management - while revving to a maximum speed of over 7,000 rpm.
With a peak output of 415 hp and maximum torque of 398 lb-ft, the 2012 SLK55 AMG is poised to outperform all of its direct competitors. The Mercedes Sprinter, which can tow up to 5000 weight, also offers the maximum payload capacities in the class, as nicely as the longest listing of productive safety features and driver tools. The cylinder shut-off function is available over a wide engine speed range from 800 to 3,600 rpm if the driver has selected transmission mode "C" - Controlled Efficiency. The AMG main menu in the instrument cluster informs the driver whether cylinder shut-off is active, and whether the engine is currently running in four or eight-cylinder mode. No less than 170 lb-ft of torque is still available in four-cylinder mode - enough power to ensure plenty of acceleration in most driving situations. This concept study is equipped with the all-new OM651 four-cylinder diesel.
