What sort of roads do you drive on? Do you regularly do above 60mph?
Its 838kg with a 0.25 Cd.
On the K20 the lack of drag allows 19:1 AFR to run fine on a non lean designed engine.
IMA is a 20mm sandwich between box and engine, no extra mass really as the magnets serve the purpose of a flywheel. The batteries are just 22kg.
No sorry, the point I was making is the IMA is sandwiched between the engine and gearbox on the IMA cars, its very much part and parcel of the drivetrain and would be nigh on impossible to retro fit really.
19:1 would melt a K20 in a Civic. Its the low drag of this that makes it possible.
Am i the only one reading this thinking that this is probably a loaner or a car through his work or something and this is a joke? It has to be a joke, right?
thing that annoys me more than anything though, the technology i don't have a problem with, but why make the cars so ugly, i mean, it wouldn't look half as bad if it didn't have rear wheel covers, what's actually stopping them lookin like normal cars, same with the prius too. Why don't they take Teslas idea and actually make a good looking hybrid/ electric car?
Just read through your insurance thread!! Cant believe all the bs the insurers have done.
I thought sky ins had a good rep?!? Dont think i'll be renewing with them.
Has your claim been settled yet? What was the outcome?
