Semar team from UGM Back Follow the fuel-saving race at Sepang Malaysia.

 Semar team Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) re-enter the competition energy efficient vehicles Shell eco-marathon Asia 2013. This year the competition was held at the Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia on July 4 to 7 2013.
In this competition Semar UGM team will follow two categories namely the Urban Concept category and diesel fuel with category Car Prototype Gasoline fuel. Number of team members as much as 14 students and one supervisor is Dr. Jayan Sentanuhady.
"Both cars are designed and developed with a monocoque body construction that uses a carbon fiber composite material," said Jayan when saying farewell to Rector Prof. Dr. Pratikno at GMU Center in Bulaksumur office, Monday (06/03/2013).

This is to improve ergonomics as broad view, the position of the rider's body and akseabilitas out a better rider in a very narrow space vehicles.
According to the Court, this car also uses primary mover gasoline fuel capacity of 80 cc and a high compression ratio with the SEC design code 1 (Semar Engine Concept - First Generation). SEC 1 engine with sequential techniques namely two double spark plugs popped in sequence.
"With this technique combustion in the cylinder becomes more perfect so that the fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly," he said.
Further car while Semar Urban Supreme, using the diesel engine capacity of 220 cc are adopting technology called Near Adiabatic Diesel Engine (Nade). The system uses a high compression ratio and cylinder insulation system for increased thermal efficienc

Besides those two things, many more improvements made to the car Koenigsegg anyarnya.
Even some of the technologies implemented in the car is relatively new in the automotive world one of them is the application of nano materials in the cylinder which is claimed to reduce friction, which in turn will reduce fuel consumption and provide more power perfect treat.
This sector is considered important because, according to research by Koenigsegg there are about 6-9 percent of energy is lost when there is friction in the piston and cylinder. The use of nano materials is said to reduce the friction of 30-50 percent, which in turn enhance the performance of engines between 1.8 to 4.5 percent.

Ferrari 458 Italia Manettino, Launch Control and Interior

The 458 Italia is equipped with a racing manettino switch leading toward more sporting set ups and giving the driver a wider selection of electronic controls parameters. The ICE setting saw in the F430 has been removed, while the CT setting has been added in order to deactivate the traction control and at the same time maintain the stability control. There are five different manettino positions and conditions: Low Grip, Sport, Race, CT and CTS. Low Grip setting provides maximum grip under all driving conditions, and it is particularly suited for low grip surfaces. The emphasis is on comfort and stability without compromising the handling. Sport is the best setting for day to day driving and guarantees great safety under good grip. Race is particularly suitable for track driving providing maximum performance and stability in optimal grip situations. CT helps the driver improving his driving skills in safety, by keeping active the stability control. It allows over-steer right to the edge of the cars limits and guarantees enhanced driving pleasure and fun behind the wheel, particularly on the track. Under CTS setting, both stability and traction control systems are deactivated, giving the driver maximum freedom and control on the track. No electronic systems intervene on the vehicle stability with the exception of E-diff3 and ABS.

On the 458 Italia, the driver can decouple the suspension damping from the electronic configuration selected on the manettino. The suspension decoupling button offers improved filtering of uneven road surfaces in order to improve performance and handling on uneven broken surfaces, such as the ones at the burgring race track.

The launch control button is instead designed to offer the best possible acceleration from standstill. It delivers the maximum possible torque to the ground and prevents wheel spin as the car accelerates away. Its activation is indicated in the instrument panel. To start using the Launch control, the manettino must be selected on race, CT or CTS setting. With the car still at standstill, the driver then needs to put the gearbox in manual, selects first gear, pushes the launch control, presses the accelerator pedal and then releases the brake pedal.

The stylistic interior choices developed by Ferrari Centro Stile reflect a functional, ergonomic cockpit design. The driver is set in the center of a streamlined and intuitive layout, which is very much in line with the marquees signature styling cues.
