First Lincoln Hybrid Delivers Efficient Luxury

The first and the most: the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid delivers more than a comfortable ride and luxury. This is the first hybrid for the Lincoln brand, and it is now officially the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America with an EPA-certified 41 mpg rating in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. Building on Ford Motor Company’s reputation as a world leader in electrified technology, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid uses the company’s second-generation hybrid technology – the 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine – named one of Ward’s 2010 “10 Best Engines.” The system combines the best attributes of the gasoline engine and electric battery-driven motors to deliver optimal performance and fuel economy. The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid tops its nearest competitor – the 2010 Lexus HS 250h – by 6 mpg. It also trumps the Lexus HS 250h with room for one more passenger and more standard luxury and segment-exclusive safety features. Industry-leading fuel economy comes without sacrificing power. The combined gasoline engine and electric motor provide 191 net horsepower. Plus, the pure electric mode on the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid extends to 47 mph – compared with the Lexus HS 250h battery-only mode, which reaches just 25 mph. The SmartGauge™ with EcoGuide cluster in the instrument planel of the MKZ Hybrid coaches drivers to optimum fuel economy and lower emissions with growing leaves and apple blossoms as rewards for efficient driving. Within one year, efficient drivers are expected to save nearly 200 gallons of gas and reduce their carbon footprint by almost two tons of CO2. “The 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid provides a real choice in the marketplace for customers looking for a vehicle that not only makes a statement about who they are but also reflects their ideals,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president, Global Product Development. “It offers the best fuel economy in its segment, a host of advanced safety features, and all the amenities and modern design of a true luxury sedan.” The 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid comes standard with features and technologies that are either not offered on the Lexus HS 250h or are available only at an extra cost.

New Tires Coming...,



They have been testing them for several years now. Resilient Tech was developing them for the military application.



Amazing new tires.....Michelin Tires. Kind of SCARY looking. Look for them in August.
These tires are made in South Carolina, USA



SEE THROUGH TIRES

Radical new tire design by Michelin.
The next generation of tires.
They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show.



Yes, those are 'spoke' like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread 'wrap!' The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion.



Makes you wonder how the ride feels, doesn't it?



These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.

Just think of the impact on existing technology:

A. no more air valves.
B. no more air compressors at gas stations.
C. no more repair kits.
D. no more flats.
