Chevrolet ha estrenado una nueva versión para el Captiva basada en el modelo 2.0 VCDi LXT Automático. Las diferencias son meramente estéticas, ya que utilizará esta misma mecánica, y se venderá a un precio de 38.870 euros. Pasará a ser, por tanto, el más caro de toda la gama.Aunque no es la más potente, la nueva versión Sport pasará a ser el tope de gama de este SUV. Lo más novedoso de su equipamiento (evidentemente más completo) es el techo solar eléctrico, los asientos de cuero rojo con costuras también de este color y las nuevas llantas de aleación (el diseño es diferente).
El exterior del Captiva Sport es diferente por los cromados en los antinieblas delanteros, en la rejilla y los tiradores de las puertas. La rejilla inferior delantera tiene un diseño más deportivo y los grupos ópticos delanteros están oscurecidos. Las salidas de escape son más grandes y algunos elementos, como la línea del tirador del portón trasero, van ahora en el mismo color que la carrocería.
El motor 2.0 VCDi cuenta con 150 cv y un consumo (para la versión de siete plazas y cambio automático) de 8,7 litros a las cien. Su velocidad máxima es de 180 km/h y es capaz de acelerar de cero a cien en 12,2 segundos.
La plataforma del Chevrolet Captiva es la misma que utiliza el Opel Antara, aunque el precio de éste último para la versión más básica es superior (más de 26.000 euros).
El Chevrolet Captiva fue presentado en junio de 2006. Su gama comienza en los 22.220 euros y dispone de versiones con siete plazas. El motor mas potente que puede montar es un 3.2 V6 de 230 cv, no disponible por el momento para la versión Sport

latest Caterham car images
Spitfire
From inside it sounds like a Spitfire with the whine of the gearbox, a resonance through the uncarpeted cockpit and stones rattling like bullets off the underside (and on more than one occasion my forehead). From outside it sounds more like a big capacity sports bike and it starts up with that same muted explosion as the engine sucks in a massive gobbet of fuel and spits it out through the beautiful 4-2-1 exhaust. This, combined with a different air-intake help liberate 140bhp and 124lb-ft from the 1.8 X-Power K-series but it never sounded like this in a Rover and the rev counter certainly never flicked round the dial as quickly. It translates into a 0-60 dash in 4.7 seconds, over half a second quicker than a Roadsport with the same X-Power motor. The 130mph speed is largely academic and possibly rather conservative of Caterham (but that's just a guess, honestly officer).
Through town the car grumbles to itself, revs rising and falling from 1,250 to 1,750rpm at traffic lights and the clutch assaulting your nose with its own protest. But it's difficult to resist the occasional blip of the throttle when passing a bunch of schoolkids, making them stop and stare open mouthed. That engine reveals a great deal of flexibility, it's possible to stick it in top around town, smoothing out the power delivery and making it easier to pootle along at urban speed limits.

latest car Carlsson pictures
Arvid Carlsson (born 25 January 1923) is a Swedish scientist who is best known for his work with the neurotransmitter dopamine and its effects in Parkinson's disease. For his work on dopamine, Carlsson won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2000,[1] along with co-recipients Eric Kandel and Paul Greengard.
Carlsson was born in Uppsala, Sweden, son of Gottfrid Carlsson, historian and later professor of history at the Lund University, where he began his medical education in 1941. In 1944 he was participating in the task of examining prisoners of Nazi concentration camps, who Folke Bernadotte, a member of the royal Swedish family, had managed to bring to Sweden. Although Sweden was neutral during World War II, Carlsson's education was interrupted by several years of service in the Swedish Armed Forces. In 1951, he received his M.L. degree (the equivalent of the American M.D.) and his M.D. (the equivalent of the American Ph.D.). He then became a professor at the University of Lund. In 1959 he became a professor at the University of Gothenburg.
In 1957 Carlsson demonstrated that dopamine was a neurotransmitter in the brain and not just a precursor for norepinephrine, as had been previously believed.[2][3]
While working at Astra AB, Carlsson and his colleagues were able to derive the first marketed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, zimelidine, from brompheniramine.[1]
Carlsson developed a method for measuring the amount of dopamine in brain tissues. He found that dopamine levels in the basal ganglia, a brain area important for movement, were particularly high. He then showed that giving animals the drug reserpine caused a decrease in dopamine levels and a loss of movement control. These effects were similar to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. By administering to these animals L-Dopa, which is the precursor of dopamine, he could alleviate the symptoms. These findings led other doctors to try using L-Dopa on patients with Parkinson's disease, and found it to alleviate some of the symptoms in the early stages of the disease. L-Dopa is still the basis for most commonly used means of treating Parkinson's disease

3. Caparo Financials(NBFC)
[edit] Caparo Engineering India
Caparo Engineering India Pvt ltd has a majority of the locations in India (17). The rest 3 locations belong to the Joint Venture and Caparo's NBFC which has recently opened up its office s at Connaught Place in New Delhi.
CEIPL is into 6 main products in India:
1. Forgings
2. Castings
3. Fabrication
4. Fasteners
5. CRW/EDW Tubes
6. Stampings
Stampings is their main business and they have Light and Heavy vehicle manufacturers as their Customers. Their recent foray into engineered CFRP/GFRP composites along with their toolroom at chennai and their R & D centre along with their tandem and automated lines give an edge to Caparo.
A recent foray of the Caparo group has been into hospitality where they are setting up an international centre at Greater Noida in India. This is Lord Swaraj Paul's pet project.

Buick cars images
Buick is currently the oldest American automobile manufacturer, and among the oldest automobile brands in the world. It originated as the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company in 1899, an independent internal combustion engine and motor-car manufacturer, and was later incorporated as the Buick Motor Company on May 19, 1903, by Scottish born David Dunbar Buick in Detroit, Michigan. Later that year, the struggling company was taken over by James H. Whiting (1842–1919) [1], who moved it to his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and brought in William C. Durant in 1904 to manage his new acquisition. Buick sold his stock for a small sum upon departure, and died in modest circumstances twenty-five years later.
Between 1899 and 1902 two prototype vehicles were built[2] in Detroit, Michigan by Walter Lorenzo Marr. Some documentation exists of the 1901 or 1902 prototype with tiller steering[3] similar to the Oldsmobile Curved Dash.
