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).
He said the materials will lighten and improve precision. Almost all components are made of aluminum and processed by CNC machines. Component was also developed with a modular system to facilitate replacement or repair components.
Chairman Semar UGM Team Manager, General Prasetya Semar also add cars using PSS technology (Pedal Steering System), which control the car but no longer use the hand using a foot pedal.
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

Koenigsegg Agera R, Candidates for World's Fastest Cars

 Koenigsegg hypercar manufacturer from Sweden perform various repairs on superfast flagship car, the Agera R. Koenigsegg are now preparing to test the upper limit of the speed of his car.
An estimated 1,140 bhp-powered car to break the 440 km / h. And when that happens, then this car was captured in the title of world's fastest production car from the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hands.
Current crown holder of the fastest production cars on earth still held by the Bugatti Veyron when the car is running up to 431 km / h. However, Koenigsegg Bugatti would not hold the record was too long.
Any repairs they do on Koenigsegg Agera R 2013 model year they just showed at the Geneva Motor Show.Personnel who previously were 1,115 bhp figures are now already in the up-grade to 1,140 bhp with E85 ethanol fuel. The engine speed limit was increased from 7,250 rpm to 7,500 rpm.


Koenigsegg new concoction is expected to be able to carry off the Agera R up to speed 440 km / h and seize the crown of world's fastest production car ever held, but is now in the hands of Bugatti.
Besides the engine, Koenigsegg one of the main focus this time is on the legs where the rim of the car now uses a lightweight carbon fiber material and are developed with Aircore technology.


Koenigsegg claims that with this new rims, the car's total weight can be trimmed up to 20 kg. That is, the load per wheel that is in this car will be lighter 5 kg. Moreover, a new exhaust fitted on this car is also claimed to be lighter and able to improve the performance.
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.

PAGANI HUYRA Worth Rp 30 Billion

 Price of a super car sometimes does make heads tergeleng. How not, just look at this one super car. Pagani Huayra is sold at Rp 30 billion.

Of the machine as well, believe Pagani Huayra capable of driving up to 370 miles per hour and accelerates from rest to 100 km per hour in just 3.3 seconds. The ability to accelerate quickly, many aided by an aerodynamic body design.
Carbon fiber is light but strong was also helped Pagani Huayra run fast. Pagani claims, Huayra made almost like a plane wing in which the body is designed to cut the wind and use it to push power.
In the interior, the cabin Huayra made more spacious with the added touch-screen sat-nav and Bluetooth.
