Prius III to be given turbo boost

Post by conan »

Our insiders have blown the cover on a turbocharged prototype which is being tested in Japan. Auto Express was the first magazine to reveal plans for a 100mpg-plus successor to the Prius in issue 904 - and now we can spill the beans on how it will be done.

In its efforts to come up with a car that blends economy, low emissions and performance at an affordable price, Toyota has decided to use a lean-burn 1.8-litre turbo engine. Meanwhile, the THS-II hybrid system will be upgraded with efficient lithium ion batteries, which will allow the electric motor to deliver greater performance because the cells recharge quickly and hold more power for longer.

To further improve efficiency, it's also thought that Toyota is considering a plug-in system, similar to that used on the Amberjac Projects Prius. The socket will allow owners to top up the battery when it's parked. Insiders at Toyota are excited about the newcomer, and are promising greater performance and super-low emissions for less than £20,000.

Siapa tahu di masa datang shopping2 mall / gedung perkantoran akan menyediakan recharge station gratis bagi para pengunjung utk menarik jumlah pengunjung / fasilitas bagi tenant.

Listrik utk recharge station didapat dari solar panel atau wind turbine bila mall / gedung berada di daerah yg kecepatan anginnya cukup tinggi.

Utk di resort area / tempat wisata di luar kota listrik bisa didapat dari kincir air di sungai yg mengalir selain dr wind turbine.

'Terjemahan' mobilku.com :

Next Prius dua kali lebih irit

(07/06/2006) - Toyota Prius generasi mendatang dikabarkan akan menggunakan turbo dan batterei lithium-ion hingga bisa mencapai efisiensi 94mpg. Sebagai pembanding, Prius yang ada sekarang menawarkan efisiensi 50mpg (4.7 liter/100km atau 1 liter tiap 21 km).

Menurut majalah AutoExpress, mesin 1.8 liter turbo akan dipasangkan dengan THS-II hybrid system dengan batarei Litihium-Ion yang sangat efisien untuk meningkatkan efisiesi. Toyota juga mempertimbangkan plug-in capability sebagai fitur standar.Saat ini, banyak pemiliki Prius, mobil hybrid paling laris didunia, yang memodifikasi mobilnya agar bisa di plug-in charging. Namun hal itu bisa menggugurkan waranty.

Majalah Inggris itu juga melaporkan Prius generasi mendatang punya daya akselerasi 0 -62 mph kurang dari 10 detik. Exterior kemungkinan mengalami perubahan-perubahan. Toyota memang mempertimbangkan akan mengunakan disain untuk men-differensiasi hybrid-nya dari model-model lain.

top deh persaingan keiritan mobil masa kini....

kayanya memang 'the most stupid' car maker in the world ialah General Motor... yang pada jaman minyak mahal seperti sekarang ini tetap berlomba-lomba membuat mesin besar & boros BBM !

ngga heran sekarang mau collapse....

Nantinya mungkin buat motor juga akan dibuat, soalnya pangsa pasar mobil Hybrid di Amrik dan Eropa sekarang ini permintaannya tinggi. Sehingga banyak produsen mobil berlomba2 menciptakan mobil irit dan ramah lingkungan spt Hybrid.
