Car Cover

Auto Clinic - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Using a car cover can be a good way to prevent many types of damage if you use one properly. If you must park in an area that leaves your car covered with cat pawprints, bird poop and tree sap, a cover can help preserve your finish. It's also possible to do serious damage with a car cover. A dirty cover, or a clean cover installed over a grungy car, can scratch the finish.“

Cadillac Vizón Unites Best of Several Vehicles (#)

„As the driver approaches the vehicle, a system called EZ Key identifies the owner through a chip embedded in the key fob; the car unlocks itself and sets seating and mirrors to the driver's position. As the engine starts, a sliding cover on the instrument panel opens to reveal a reconfigurable three-panel instrument display, which allows the driver to choose how and where data about the car is displayed ...“

Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The rear features powerful sides with the embedded teardrop type transparent rear window which also acts as engine cover and from which ceramic-coated exhaust tips peep out, as on racing cars of the Sixties. “The entire vehicle – stresses Ken Okuyama, Director of Pininfarina Styling – expresses elegance and fluidity with the clear-cut, uncluttered lines that are typical of Pininfarina’s style.“

BMW Announces Market Introduction of the BMW Hydrogen 7 (#)

„Gaseous hydrogen able to escape in this way is diluted in a venturi pipe and oxidated in a catalyst to form vapor. The period in which a half-full hydrogen tank will be emptied completely in a controlled process is about 9 days, and even then the car is still able to cover approximately 12 miles (20 kilometers) in the hydrogen mode with the fuel remaining in the tank.“

Renault : The New Twingo (#)

„The exterior design of the New Twingo retains its original timeless aspect. Even so, its looks have been freshened and renewed thanks to new smooth-cover headlamps and front fog lamps in polycarbonate. Their complex surface reflector provides improved lighting. This material also affords the advantage of greater resistance to impact and to scratching.“

„This particular Veyron is listed as Silver in color, presumably the dark and light silver two-tone popular on the car, though oddly no pictures on the listing show the exterior of the car, aside from two shots of the unmistakable Veyron shape under a blue car cover.“

Green Car Congress: Solar-Power-Augmented Prius Takes the Grid Out of Plug-in (#)

„The solar cells themselves are very thin and thus very light. In a future version the cells could be stuck to the roof and hood of the car directly, and covered by e.g. a teflon coating. In that case the extra wheight would be negliable and the aerodymics would not be influenced.“

2008 Chevrolet Malibu breaks cover (#)

„I want it to be a winner for GM's sake, but the proof is in the details, price-point, and potential resale value. Cars in this category have to be such a broad stroke to cover this category's customer base. The nose looks a bit truckish; the wheels”tiny.“

Hymotion Plug-In Conversion Will Also Use Solar Panels (#)

„However in future, I think a nanosolar sheet could be put over the car when parked, like a car cover. Should be cheap enough too, and great surface area. Could be deployed automatically.“
