Test drive Mitsubishi ASX 2020 - part 4

 Against the background of a 2-liter 150-horsepower engine, it seems the 1.6-liter version will be a loser: after all, 33 hp. and 43 Nm difference. But no - surprisingly, the 1.6 liter engine "suffices" when driving around the city and on the highway about "hundreds". After all, this version of the Mitsubishi ASX 2020 is noticeably lighter (160 kg), plus a traditional 5-speed motor is paired with a motor. Manual transmission and front-wheel drive: less transmission losses. As a result, we have a linear relationship between pressing the accelerator pedal and real acceleration: pressed - received. And also due to its lightness, the car seems more agile and agile, it is easy to drive it on tight city streets, the crossover is quickly rearranged in rows.

 Although the engine is noisy: starting quietly, when it reaches 3.5-4 thousand rpm, the engine breaks into the cabin with a noticeable rumble. True, to the credit of the motor, accompanying all this with a tide, albeit a small, but noticeable wave of additional acceleration and dynamics. The familiar "mechanics" offers a good selection of gear ratios (perhaps only 5 would like to be more "stretched"), as well as light and precise shifting, even despite the long lever. There is only one global comment to the transmission - the clutch pedal with a long travel and an incomprehensible moment of operation.

 The 1.6-liter version can offer energy-intensive suspension and short overhangs (195 mm clearance): enough for rough city roads and rural dirt roads, but nothing more. But what surprises us is the "sufficiency" of the motor: thanks to the successful selection of gear ratios of the "mechanics" (wow, and a long lever!) And overall lightness: 1290 kg, which is 160 kg lighter than a 2-liter car with all-wheel drive. And another 1.6-liter is pleased with the consumption: in the city it is possible to consistently bring 8 liters per 100 km, and with empty roads and smooth driving - even 7-7.5 liters per 100 km, in traffic jams it still receives no more than 9-10 l per 100 km.

In the summer in France, a book by Michel Demurger, Doctor of Neuropsychology, "The Screen Idiots Factory", about the impact of new technologies on the development of children, was published. And immediately became a bestseller. As the name suggests, the book was pretty scary. It turns out that over the past 20 years, the IQ of young people has not ceased to fall, while over all the years of the twentieth century that have passed since the appearance of this concept, IQ has steadily increased. Demurger listed the negative consequences of long-term use of screens by children: 1 lag in the development of speech in the smallest 2️⃣ motor problems 3️⃣ poor concentration, 4️⃣ sleep disturbance, 5 decreased creativity of thinking 6️⃣ memory impairment 7️⃣ various emotional disorders (depression, aggressiveness and tendency to addiction). ... “Of course, you need to live in step with the era, but our brain is not adapted to this, it was formed in the Neanderthal era.

 British automaker Bentley Motors has decided to celebrate its 100th anniversary with the release of the Bentley EXP 100 GT electric car concept. The model is intended to show how premium electric cars of the Grand Tour class will look in 2035.  The design of the Bentley EXP 100 GT combines features of the brand's historic GTs with futuristic solutions that will be more appropriate decades later. The hull is 5.8 meters long and 2.4 meters wide with a panoramic roof made of aluminum and carbon fiber.  The two- meter wide doors rise vertically, which allows the driver and passenger to comfortably get to their seats (the model is two-seater, but if desired, it can be transformed into a three-seater). The interior uses luxury materials, including natural wood, leather, wool, fabric and crystal.  The concept is built on the new Next Generation Traction Drive platform with four electric motors that provide separate torque control at each wheel. The power of the installat...
