Some parts, including the exhaust manifolds, will completely disappear by virtue of being cast directly into the cylinder head. Today, the engine line-up features 32 different left and right exhaust manifolds. On Challenger, for example, this allowed engineers to improve both the intake flow and exhaust flow resulting in more power.

Homeowners can illuminate the eaves with iridescent icicles, shroud their shrubs with twinkling mesh nets, or mount massive menorahs on their minivans. The earliest Christmas lights used miniature versions of Edison's pear-shaped carbon-filament bulbs, which had fragile exhaust tips that were prone to breaking. Altogether, Meggers.

Volkswagen will introduce its new third-generation Sharan MPV (minivan) this summer. For engines ranging up to 170 PS in power, a BlueMotion Technology pack is implemented with a start-stop system and battery regeneration (recovery of kinetic energy by storing it in the battery).

The engine should yield fuel efficiency gains of more than 50% compared to a downsized, turbo-charged gasoline direct injection engine, while reducing the overall cost of the powertrain system, said Fabien Redon, Vice President, Technology Development at Achates Power. It could also be the first of a family of OPGCI engines spanning 1.0

The Truth About Cars

There were simply fewer coupe buyers as Americans ran to minivans and the earliest family-friendly SUVs. Said relocation required a revision to the exhaust routing. Aside from the Mark’s sleek looks, that was largely achieved via mechanical and technological upgrades. Only trim remained to tell them apart. And that was all.

The back-end has horizontal LED taillights and round, chrome-tipped twin exhaust ends that are integrated into a wind-channeling lower fascia. If you are ready to scrap the minivan and SUV, get down to your local Subaru dealer and tell the sales representative you need to take a long, winding test drive. A Driver’s Interior.
