New Hot Tesla Cars Reviews

The electric version of Toyota iQ will debut at Tokyo Auto Show 2011, two years after the FT-EV II concept was launched.

According to Nihon Cars, Toyota will launch a full-electric version of their iQ by the end of next year. The model will be equipped with an electric motor and a set of lithium-ion batteries. Tokyo Auto Show 2011 will be the place where the electric version of Toyota iQ will have its world premiere. The model might occur in the production version only two years after the FT-EV Concept II was presented, announcing the zero CO2 emissions of iQ.

The electric version of iQ will hit the European market after in the second half of 2012. The model will be tested alongside with the PHeV version of Toyota Prius, that can be recharged from a regular outlet. The debut will be made it Strasbourg, but everyone expects Toyota to offer the electric iQ on other markets. At the time, Nissan, Renault, Opel, Chevrolet, Citroen, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen and other automakers will already have had their electric models on the European roads.

But Toyota were not so enthusiastic about launching a EV, saying that the batteries are not developed enough to offer the cars big-enough autonomy for day-by-day drive. Then the partnership with Tesla Motors came into scene and with it the electric version of RAV4, the car entering in Toyota’s history books. The Toyota iQ electric drive train is not developed with the help of Tesla Motors.

Tesla And Panasonic Cars Combinitions

The Model X project of those from Tesla Motors will receive an investment worth 30 million dollars from Panasonic.

Tesla officials announced that they will introduce an electric SUV in the range: Model X. Although is not the first electric SUV put on sales in the world – the guys from Toyota have the premiere with Toyota RAV4 EV, the model will be the first to be produced in series and sold without any contractual obligations or other restrictions. The guys from Panasonic have decided to invest 30 million dollars to achieve the Model X Project. The investment will focus on the development of electric batteries for that model and for the future Tesla Motors creations.

The guys from Tesla Motors have already a partnership with Toyota, so they will receive the help from both parties to achieve an electric SUV. Some time ago, Tesla Motors have a partnership with Daimler, which gave them special technology in exchange of used propulsion trains used by electric versions of Smart Fortwo . Now, DaimlerCorporation has partnered with Renault-Nissan concern, with which it could develop electric vehicles in the future. For now, the concern is limited to mini-class models and to engines for bigger models.

Toyota will present the concept of an electric RAV4 at Los Angeles Auto Show. The concept that will be presented on November 17 is not related so closely with Tesla technology and not represent the X Model from Tesla. In other news, the Panasonic’s investment would help the people from Tesla to solve the financial problems, following rumors that seemed aimed the S model and the mode that Elon Musk has spent the respectively money.

What can a room in Palo Alto, California with  governor and superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Toyota CEO Akio Toyodabe all about? A fantastic partnership between the two companies, Toyota and Tesla, on electric vehicle development  that will take place in California. For starters Tesla will take over the recently closed NUMMI factory in Fremont, CA and will start producing the Model S sedan.

Toyota will invest $50 million for a private placement of Tesla common stock and the state of California will provide a sales tax abatement to Tesla for capital equipment expenditures to tool up the plant. This state abatement will sum up to around $20 million over the next couple of years of activity, if laws remain mainly unchanged regarding taxes in the auto field.

According to Musk, production of the Model S will bring about 1,000 employees back to the NUMMI plant to produce about 20,000 cars a year at first. But this is only the beginning, future development of the plant, quantity wise and regarding more models, may open around 10,000 jobs for California workers! Gov. Arnold is keeping his word of doing whatever possible for the financial rehabilitation of California. Musk revealed that some employees have already been rehired, but was non-committal on the subject of union representation.

Tesla Model S prototype, first model to benefit fro Toyota+Tesla California deal

This partnership means more however, Tesla will benefit from Toyota know-how and supply lines, while Toyota opens up to new markets and has a stable supplies demand. Add on top of that the publicity benefits for both parties – Toyota first of all, and you got yourself on heal of a deal. Not to mention that all of this is for the future of electric cars.

As always, things have a downside. The The deal for the NUMMI plant leaves Downey, CA in the air, and the mayor of the aforementioned place stated he feels “stabbed in the back by Tesla”. The Toyota deal apparently came together very quickly and Musk acknowledged that he would still like to work with Downey, perhaps for a future Space-X facility.

The Tesla-Toyota deal for EV in California brought no changes, up to now at least, on the release date for the Model S. The actual production only starts as of 2012, but prototypes will be revealed as changes and updates will be, progressively, applied. In former days of glory, the plant in Fremont CA was able to assemble more than 300,00 cars a year, but no official statement on how many Model S plus other possible models will be built.

Tesla Roadster, the first electric series sports model begins to be known and recognized in the FIA competitions also. Although it seems hard to believe, the  model with an autonomy  of only 200 miles  won their first competition at the  Alternative Energy Monte Carlo Rally.

The supercar won against competitors who ran all powered by alternative fuels or electric energy. Tesla Roadster succeeds as the first electric  model to win a competition homologated by FIA.

To lift the trophy, Tesla had to go through nearly 620 miles during  three days, tailored distance on freeways, mountain roads, through cities and on the Formula 1 circuit inMonte Carlo.The  supercar which accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds, was led to success by the former Formula 1 pilot, Eric Comas.

Many where surprised when, at the end of the three days competition the roadster could boast by only 25 euros spent on recharging.

With a new engine on which Americans say is more powerful but more efficient, Tesla Roadster will certainly be a compulsory acquisition for American celebrities eager to show their support for environmental protection. Carbon fiber used without  stinginess and the fine leather will delight the eyes of the new owners.

So, here are the first images with Izaro Motors GT-E, a sports car that will have a starting price of $70,000 and a look fit for a torpedo by hundreds of thousands dollars. But do not expect to multi-cylinder engine and a lot of HP.

The car weight will be quite low, due to intensive use of aluminum and magnesium inchassis construction, as well as other lightweight materials for body panels. Therefore, no surprise that are advertised performance as a maximum speed of 174 mph(compared with only 124 mph for Tesla Roadster) and a start from 0-60 mph in just four seconds.

More information about Izaro Motors GT-E is to find at the end of the month, on August 28 was announced a press conference with company officials. Remains to be seen how fast the GT-E will be required before the Tesla Roadster, given that the Spanish green supercar will have a much better price.
