Axio GT||The beauty of sports cars that will attract all car lovers

Axio GT
The Toyota automobile industry has been the most popular bound in Bangladesh. They are maintaining world wide popularity by being one of the top in terms of global sales and competition with other major manufacturers. The reason Toyota is so popular in our country is because of the fact thaat it provides very decent and reliable cars for a pretty modest price, while also retaining very low maintenance cast. But the key cause for their fame is their ability to offer a number of different family sedans over a large price range, making them very easily available to the people. 
However, Toyota has recently not had a very strong line of street sports cars. In the early days there were the Celicas and Supras that were major sports icons but they have slowly melded into the shadows after the 90s, while their major competitors, Honda and Nissan have kept their sports line strong through the ages. But due to recent change in Toyota's management, there was a glimmer of hope for something faster than the average sedan and that would be the Toyota Axio GT.
The Axio apr GT, which is a supercharged racing machine built for the GT300 class of supersport track racing. Seeing how it is modeled after a supercar, it should be easy to understand that this will not be just on average sports car with a big engine. It boasts a modest 1.5 litre engine, but it passed through the hands of the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) team who have tweaked it extreme measures. The engine now carries a complete custom turbo and intercooler unit, while also having a modified ECU, giving it enough power to rival its competitors on paper as well as on the street. While being a fast car, TRD have also boosted its handling performance by adding a full sports suspension, dampers and anti-roll bars for those tight corners. The only disappointment that many have an effect on car enthusiasts is that this is a ront Wheel Drive sports car.
In terms of looks, the Axio GT can be distingushed from its lowly 'rn of the mill' sedan version by the large 17-inch alloy rims, the very intimidating grill and the customized body kits provided from the factory by default. Inside, it still retains the comfort and luxuries of a regular car such as air conditioning, GPS systems, etc. seeming almost similar to the standard Axio interior with the only difference being this one having a manual stick shift instead of an automatic.
On paper, the Axio GT is said to have enough juice to rival competitors such as the Civic Type-R although this may be a bit of a long shot. However, it will be refreshing seeing a new Toyota sports car on the street, reviving a long lost legacy.

BMW i Concept


2012 BMW i8 Concept - The i8 Concept combines the advantages of two different drive systems. As a plug-in hybrid it reaps the benefits of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine for maximum efficiency with maximum dynamics. At the front axle is the electric motor adopted from the BMW i3 Concept and modified for use in the BMW i8 Concept’s hybrid power train, while a 164 kW/220 hp turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine developing up to 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque drives the rear axle.

Together, the two drive units take the vehicle to a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Like the electric motor, the 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine was developed entirely in-house by the BMW Group and represents the latest state of the art in conventional engine design.
Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds combined with fuel consumption in the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp) are figures currently beyond the capability of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance. Depending on charging habits and the nature of the route, it is even possible to improve on these figures.

The hybrid concept means that the BMW i8 Concept can also run purely on electric power. The energy supplied by the application-designed battery system installed between the front and rear axle modules to the electric motor at the front axle gives the BMW i8 Concept an all-electric driving range of approximately 35 kilometres (20 miles). The battery can be fully recharged in two hours at a standard power socket.
