The EuroDrift Administration has decided to begin re-construction of the homepage.  The homepage will receive a new template as well as new mods and widgets.  The site will still operate during construction, but is subject to random service interruptions.  The blog will not receive new posts until the homepage is completed.  EuroDrift is also considering changing the blog to include the following sections: News, Automotive News, & Videos.  The News section will include news about EuroDrift, the Automotive News will include articles on upcoming vehicles, and the Videos section will include videos related to european automobiles.  Currently, EuroDrift is considering allowing open commenting to all members but due to the amount of spam that is received each day, the commenting will not open until more users show their support for open commenting.  To support commenting or share other ideas for the site, please send an email to admin@eurodrift.com.

Have a Happy New Year!

The New Sound of Bentley

“Welcome to the new sound of Bentley — a stirring and thunderous soundtrack and the prelude to a potent new Bentley driving experience that begins in 2012. And for a first glimpse of things to come.” (Bentley Motors Description on YouTube)

Audi A1 – FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid match

This video by Audi Spain features the Audi A1.  The Audi A1 is a supermini-class car that Audi launched in 2010 at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.  The car is assembled in Brussels, Belgium.  It is available with 1.2, 1.4, 2.0 L TFSI I4 Engine (TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection, I4 stands for Inline 4 cylinders).   Depending on the motor, a 5 or 6-speed manual is available.   For the 2.0 L, s 7-speed S-tronic transmission is offered.

Audi has also worked on the Audi A1- e-tron.  The A1 e-tron is a concept car with is an electric variant of the A1.  The A1 e-tron is a series plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that was first displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010.  The electric motor has a continuous output of 45 kW (60 bhp) and a peak of 75 kW (101 bhp).  The A1 e-tron uses a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery with an allowable distance of 31 miles (50 km).  Once the battery is depleted, a 254 cc Wankel engine is used to generate 15 kW (20 bhp) with a 3.2 US gallon gas tank (12 L).  This adds 124 miles to the range, allowing the car to run for up to155 miles before recharging and refueling.  155 miles is okay for the first version of the car, but Audi should be expected to double if not triple the current mileage created by the current electric motor.
