2014 Renault Clio Cup【Video】Renault has released the first details for the 2014 Clio Cup. The 2014 Renault Clio Cup will be exclusively offered will go on sale in September of 2013 with pricing starts at €37,800.


Volvo is making the new five-cylinder 2-liter turbodiesel introduced in the all-new Volvo S60 available throughout its 2011 model range.

The new five-cylinder diesel unit is in principle the same engine as the 2.4-litre diesel, but its displacement has been reduced (with a shorter stroke) to 2.0-liters. It will be offered in three different variants in terms of output.

For the Volvo C30, S40, V50 and C70 models, the new 2.0 liter diesel comes designated as a D3 with 150 hp (112 kW) and 350 Nm of torque. A D4 variant of the same power plant is also available with 177 hp (132 kW) and 400 Nm.

In addition, Volvo updated its 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbocharged petrol T6 that now offers 304HP and 440 Nm of torque.
The six-cylinder 3.2-litre naturally aspirated engine has also been upgraded and features an improved crankshaft and less internal friction. It now produces 243HP and maximum torque is 320 Nm.

Upgraded engines and lower fuel consumption in Volvo Cars' 2011
models

The new five-cylinder
2-litre turbodiesel introduced in the all-new Volvo S60 is now available
throughout Volvo Cars' model range - and there are upgraded six-cylinder
petrol engines too.

"The new engines offer greater driving pleasure across the
range. What is more, our strong drive to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
means that fuel consumption has been cut as well," says Magnus Jonsson,
Senior Vice President Product Development at Volvo Cars.

The new five-cylinder D3 is in principle the same engine as
the well-established 2.4-litre diesel, but its displacement has been reduced
with a shorter stroke to optimise fuel consumption.

The engine has been optimised for low fuel consumption and the injection
system has a different type of piezoelectric fuel injector compared with the
D5 engine. These injectors minimise consumption with exceptionally rapid and
precise injection pulses under high pressure. This promotes extremely
efficient combustion.

In order to give the car better driving properties, the
turbocharger has been fine-tuned to provide high torque from low revs.

In the Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60 the newly developed
2-litre diesel engine produces 163 hp and 400 Nm of torque. In these models
the engine is badged the D3.

XC70 D3Man 5.9 154
XC60 D3 Man 5.9 154

The Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60 can also be specified with
the high-performance D5 engine that produces 205 horsepower and 420 Nm of
torque.

All the variants of the new two-litre turbodiesel can be mated to a
six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox. In the D5, the
automatic transmission now also features a Sport setting for more agile
gearchanging.

Two 2-litre variants in the C30, S40, V50 and C70

In the Volvo C30, S40, V50 and C70 the new 2-litre turbodiesel is available
in two variants:

  • D4 with 177 hp and 400 Nm of torque.

  • D3 with 150 hp and 350 Nm of torque. This engine will be
    introduced in the C70 during the spring and later in 2010 it will also
    become available in the C30, S40 and V50.

Both the new D3 and D4 meet the Euro 5 emission standards.

All the variants of the new two-litre turbodiesel can be
specified with a six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual
gearbox.

D2 with 114 g CO2 emissions

The C30, S40 and V50 are also available with the 1.6-litre diesel engine D2,
which also complies with the Euro 5 standards. Fuel consumption in all three
models is 4.3l/100 km (EU Combined), which corresponds to CO2 emissions of
114 g/km. The engine produces 115 hp and 270 Nm of torque and now comes with
a six-speed manual gearbox.

Sharper T6 and 3.2-litre naturally aspirated engine

Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60 also get upgraded petrol engines:

  • The six-cylinder, turbocharged T6 has a displacement of
    3.0 litres and it now offers even sharper performance, thanks mainly to
    a reduction in internal friction. As in the all-new S60, it now offers
    304 hp and no less than 440 Nm of torque. Maximum torque is achieved
    between 2100 and 4200 revs. This results in rapid acceleration and
    smooth driving properties. All-Wheel Drive is fitted as standard.

  • The six-cylinder 3.2-litre naturally aspirated engine
    has also been upgraded and features an improved crankshaft and less
    internal friction. It now offers 243 hp and maximum torque is 320 Nm. In
    order to meet US legislative requirements, there is also a PZEV (Partial
    Zero Emission Vehicle) variant that produces 231 hp and 300 Nm.
