Through Pincar the family holds a majority stake of 50.7%. Selling the piece is a decision taken at a board meeting last week and was part of a debt agreement made with the banks in 2008. The end result would be that Pincar would no longer be the majority owner but at the same time the family would not leave the business completely.<br /><span class="fullpost"> <br /><center><img alt="Pininfarina Blue Car EV production version" height="268" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/3/large/pininfarina-blue-car-ev-production-version_1.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />A number of well-known industry names have been touted as possible new partners. One of them is Tata which owns the Tata Motors, Jaguar and Land Rover brands. The Indian company has an existing alliance with Fiat and was mentioned as an investor last year.

2010 Nissan Leaf electric car: In person, in depth -- and U.S. bound

<center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/nissan-leaf_hi_010.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />It would be easy to paint Nissan as late to the burgeoning U.S. green party, as the company essentially only counts the Altima Hybrid to sell among its alt-fuel offerings – and that sedan utilizes technology borrowed from Toyota, and it's only sold in a few states in small volumes.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/nissan-leaf_hi_008.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />While that may be the case, Nissan says their near-term prospects are really quite different. While the company has admittedly been cautious in marketing alt-fuel vehicles in North America, they have been hard at work developing electric vehicles – as well as the advanced lithium-ion batteries to support them – since 1992. What's more, officials say they are now singularly well-placed to leapfrog "transitional" powertrain solutions like gas-electric hybrids in favor of genuine zero-emissions vehicles, and they are promising that their first pure-electric car will reach U.S. shores late next year.<br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/nissan-leaf_hi_011.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />That car, the Nissan Leaf shown here, is the reason we find ourselves in the company's brand-new Yokohama headquarters today. Designed as a four-to-five seat, front-drive C-segment hatchback, Nissan says the Leaf is not just for use as a specialty urban runabout, but rather, it was designed as an everyday vehicle – a "real car" whose 160-kilometer+ (100 mile) range meets the needs of 70% of the world's motorists. In the case of U.S. consumers, Nissan says that fully 80% of drivers travel less than 100km per day (62 miles), making the Leaf a solid fit for America's motoring majority, even taking into account power-sapping external factors like hilly terrain, accessory draw, and extreme temperatures.<br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/nissan-leaf_hi_013.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />We were afforded an advance look at the Leaf ahead of the car's unveiling today, and while it was a hands-off affair, we did have the chance to formulate some in-the-metal first impressions and take a deep dive into the car's technology.

Corvette-Based SV 9 Competizione Ready to Impress

<center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_7.jpg" height="198" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_7.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The SV 9 Competizione combines the powertrain of the world-class American-made Corvette C6 with a new Italian-styled custom coachbuilt body and upgraded interior. While the 9 C retains the distinctive C6 Corvette shape, the new custom body is full of design cues that shout "That's Italian!" The result is one of best Corvette coaches we've seen in a field crowded with Corvette coaches.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_2.jpg" height="217" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_2.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The SV 9's unique carbon fiber body was designed to allow the passage of high velocity air around and through the body surfaces. The front end is the most striking change with the mesh grillwork designed to capture maximum air while the vents on the hood and rear ducts keep the engine bay temperatures down and brakes cool. The rear end gets the Italian treatment as well with the Corvette's dual brake lights converted from two per side to just one and the exhaust ports are split to each side.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_1.jpg" height="265" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_1.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />Along with the carbon fiber bodywork, SV has tweaked the interior, fitted a new intake and exhaust for a 14-horsepower boost to 450 and fitted a new set of wheels with Pirelli Pzero Rosso tires, giving the SV 9 Competizione a claimed 0-60 time of four seconds flat, a 12-second quarter-mile sprint, a braking distance from 60 of 107 feet and 1.03g of lateral grip. Not too shabby by any standard. And with configurations based on 25 exterior colors, five interior trims and four wheel choices, SV figures there's no reason any two of the 1,000 units to which production is limited will ever need to turn out the same. We wouldn't mind seeing one up close ourselves; the first example is set to debut in San Francisco this weekend ahead of its unveiling at the local Concorso Italiano next month.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_14.jpg" height="240" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_14.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />Inside the cockpit, the 9 C gets carbon fiber reinforced seating upholstered in hand-tooled Italian leather. Owners can opt for burlwood, carbon fiber or leather finished steering wheels that are custom matched to the instrument panel and console. In fact, SV takes the customization theme to a whole new level with the 9 C. 25 different exterior colors - 18 standard and 7 special edition colors - are available. Four wheel choices and five interior trim choices ensure that the odds of seeing two of a kind are virtually non-existent.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_6.jpg" height="285" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_6.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />Brakes and suspension have been specifically tailored for the SV 9 Competizione. Lateral acceleration is estimated to be 1.03g and braking 60-0 mph is an incredible 107 feet. Pirelli PZero Rosso ultra performance tires give the 9 C plenty of grip.<br /><br /><center><img alt="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_5.jpg" height="266" src="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/072109_5.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The SV 9 Competizione will be limited to 1,000 units at a cost of $99,995 which includes a new, well-equipped donor C6 Corvette purchased through their dealer network. Compared to other supercars and exotics, the Corvette-based SV 9 C might just be one of the best custom coachwork bargains of the year. The first showing of the SV 9 Competizione is this Saturday evening in San Francisco. The car will also be on display August 14 at the Concorso Italiano.<br />via: via <a href="http://www.corvetteblogger.com/index.cfm/2009/7/21/First-look-CorvetteBased-SV-9-Competizione-Ready-to-Impress">corvetteblogger</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Mercedes Innovation: The Crumple Zone in 1952

<center><img alt="1959 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE: first crumple zone production car in the world" height="294" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/9719957.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />It was an inventor Bela Barenyi who pioneered the idea that passengers were safer in a vehicle that was designed to easily absorb the energy from an impact and keep that energy away from the people inside the cabin.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes-Benz 220 SE crumple zones" height="188" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/6701162.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />It may be the Volvo name which is most associated with automotive safety in the consumer's mind, but it was, in fact, Mercedes-Benz which first developed the most basic tenet of passenger car safety - the so-called Crumple Zone.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes-Benz safety engineering genius Bela Barenyi" height="613" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/7318241.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Barenyi devised a system of placing the car's components in a certain configuration that kept the kinetic energy in the event of a crash away from a bubble protecting the car's occupants. Mercedes obtained a patent from Barenyi's invention way back in 1952 and the technology was first introduced into production cars in 1959 in the Mercedes-Benz 220, 220 S and 220 SE models.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Mercedes-Benz " height="532" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/6807918.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />For example, Barenyi arranged the steering column and other heavy components so that they would not form blocks that would heighten the impact on the cabin. The system was designed to have the car's body crumple around the cabin, absorbing the worst of the kinetic shock of impact.<br /><br /><center><img alt="First sketches of the patented crumple zone" height="579" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/7119402.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The inventor/engineer Barenyi is credited with about 2,500 patents, more than half as many as the more famous inventor, Thomas Edison.<br />via:<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109071020379/mercedes-innovation-the-crumple-zone-in-1952">worldcarfans</a><br /><center><img alt="Patent for the crumple zone: Patent No. DBP 854 157" height="679" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/3093660.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Press Release</span><br /><br /><p style="font-style: italic;">Patent No. DBP 854 157: The "Crumple Zone", Life-Saver of Thousands</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">* Mercedes-Benz engineering mastermind: Bela Barenyi and the invention of the crumple zone<br />* Rigid passenger cell, interior designed to reduce injury hazards in an accident: Mercedes-Benz 220, 220 S, 220 SE model year 1959<br />* "Terracruiser": Bela Barenyi's contribution to the company and other milestones</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Stuttgart - Almost 60 years ago Mercedes-Benz presented what would become a common life-saving fixture on cars: the crumple zone.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">On 23 January 1951, Daimler-Benz AG applied for patent number DBP 854 157, using the unadorned description of "Motor vehicles especially for the transportation of people". Concealed behind this was the invention of the deformable areas at the front and rear of a car that is still today generally referred to as "the crumple zone".</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">In the decades that followed, this patent revolutionised the entire automotive industry and became the decisive factor in "passive safety".</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">In more recent times, it has even been applied in railway locomotive and carriage design.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The ingenious mastermind of the idea was Bela Barenyi for whom the maxim of the time - "a safe car must not yield but be stable" - was completely inappropriate.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">He was the first to discover that in a collision, kinetic energy must be absorbed through deformation in order for the occupants to be protected. He logically split the car body into three "boxes": a soft front section, a rigid passenger cell and a soft rear section.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The patent was granted on August 28, 1952.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Rigid passenger cell and interior designed to reduce injury hazards in an accident</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">On a global scale, Barenyi's safety bodywork made its debut in production cars in the first six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz 220, 220 S and 220 SE models of 1959, their most striking feature being distinctive tail fins.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Developments under the engine hood were equally revolutionary: the steering gear moved far to the rear and the auxiliary units were arranged in such a way so as not to form blocks with each other in the event of a collision, but rather to slip past one another, permitting more effective crumpling of the bodywork.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Inside this Mercedes, the most significant improvement was only to be detected after giving it a second look: for the first time ever, the interior was completely redesigned in order to reduce the injury hazard in an accident. Hard or sharp-edged controls were replaced by yielding, rounded or recessed units, combined with recessed door handles, a dashboard which yielded on impact, padded window ledges, window winders, armrests and sun visors and a steering wheel that featured a large padded boss. Under heavy impact, the rear-view mirror was released from its bracket.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">In 1961, anchorage points for seat belts were fitted as standard in the "tail fin". Lap belts were available from 1957, and the first diagonal shoulder belts appeared in 1962. Round-shoulder tyres also made their debut on this car.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">"Terracruiser": Bela Barenyi's contribution to the company and other milestones</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">In October 1948, engineer and inventor Bela Barenyi signed his new employment contract with Daimler-Benz AG, where he had worked previously between 1939 and 1946. He contributed his concept for a "car of the future for the two-to-three litre class", the "Terracruiser" as he called it, which had been in development for several years.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Striking at first glance on this design was the car's body, which was split into three sections, giving it a front end, a passenger compartment and a tail. The two outer sections were strictly separated by the passenger cell which itself was flexibly mounted in a "cradle position". This mounting was to absorb vibrations as well as offer protection in the event of a collision.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">One other thing: to protect the driver as effectively as possible in a lateral crash, the driver's seat, including all instruments and controls, was arranged centrally in a complex "bridge".</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The Terracruiser was designed as a three-box body with outstanding aerodynamic efficiency.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Barenyi developed a huge range of trailblazing safety elements alongside the Terracruiser. These include such essentials as the safety steering column, the steering wheel impact absorber, the "disappearing windscreen wiper" and, highly important for interior safety, the protective side moulding.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">His modular design principle, which he developed so early on, has become relevant only recently.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">By the end of his professional career, the restless Bela Barenyi was able to call 2,500 patents his own. To grasp the scale of his relentless pioneering work, famous US inventor, Thomas Edison, has just over half as many.</p><br /><br /></span><p>

Greek court rules against Daimler on China SUV

The court found that visual and price differences between BMW's X5 and Shuanghuan CEO were enough to prevent consumers from confusing the two. After winning the case against BMW, Shuanghuan resumed the sale of its CEO SUV in Italy.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Shuanghuan Noble" height="494" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/6409131.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The Greek court determined that "an informed buyer would not confuse the Noble with the Smart Fortwo." They also stated that because the two vehicles offer different technical specifications, any exterior styling similarities are irrelevant and almost inevitable because they're both mini-cars.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Shuanghuan Noble" height="268" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2008/2/large/9080214.023.Mini1L2.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Chinese auto makers reportedly have 'borrowed' inspiration from BMW's X5, Daewoo's Matiz and the Mercedes-Benz SLK.
