Motorisation & Performances de la BMW i8 La BMW i8 est une voiture hybride rechargeable, c’est à dire qu’elle combine un moteur électrique, une batterie et un moteur thermique. Ainsi, les roues arrières sont entrainées par un moteur trois cylindres essence TwinPower Turbo de 1,5 L et développant 170 kW (231 ch) pour un couple maximal de 320 Nm. La puissance est transmise aux roues à l’aide d’une boîte automatique à six rapports. Un moteur électrique d’une puissance de 96 kW (131 ch) et d’un couple maximal de 250 Nm entraîne les roues avant via une boîte automatique à deux rapports. La combinaison des deux moteurs via une gestion intelligente des flux d’énergie donnent une puissance cumulée de 266 kW (362 ch). La BMW i8 propose une accélération de 0 à 100 km/h en moins de 4,4 secondes pour une vitesse maximale de 250 km/h. En mode 100% électrique, il est possible de rouler jusqu’à 120 km/h, au delà, le moteur essence vient l’épauler.

The series has evolved through changes in body size and powertrain and now, more than 25 years after the original model’s debut, the all-new Vitara is set to hit the showrooms across Europe. Suzuki says the new Vitara has smaller dimensions to meet modern needs and incorporates the brand’s ALLGRIP four-wheel-drive system as an option.

Acura ILX Review

Image
The 2015 Acura ILX ranks 16 out of 16 Upscale Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Acura ILX, as well as reliability and safety data. While the 2015 Acura ILX is priced lower than many competitors, reviewers are let down by its uninspiring performance. The Acura ILX has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that some auto critics say has enough power for city driving. However, a few say that the ILX could use more power for highway passing. A few reviewers say the standard five-speed automatic transmission is outdated, and that the ILX would have better acceleration if it had a transmission with more gears.

According to the EPA, the 2015 ILX gets up to 24/35 mpg city/highway, which is good for t...
