Project Car Prokhorov, "develops a fantastic pace. It took only 180 days, and already shows teasers of the first two models. Living machines will demonstrate to the public at the end of the year. Production will start in the second half of 2012. Representatives of the project "City Car", the joint brainchild of companies and ONEKSIM Yarovit, argue that the design - not the point. Like, why the show teasers before the official presentation. Importantly - a universal platform, which underlies these machines. Based on it, you can create vehicles for different purposes with minimal differences between the chassis and different powertrains. Moreover, the platform plans to open and put in shared all of its parameters. So everyone could try themselves as creators of design of the machine, according to a press release. The basis of the platform - aluminum frame of rectangular cross section weighing just over a hundred pounds. It installed a hybrid power plant, built on a consistent pattern - the internal combustion engine turns a generator and is not directly connected to the wheels. From earlier schemes with a motor at each wheel has been decided to abandon in favor of a more simple solution. Only the electric motor 15 kW (20 hp) is placed at the axis and rotate both wheels through a gearbox with differential. If the car is all-wheel drive, the motor and, accordingly, two. Electricity is stored in supercapacitors. They have better than a lithium-ion battery performance at low temperatures and longer life. And besides, fast charging. For example, while the complete "filling" electricity "Prokhorov-Mobil - 10 minutes. Aggregates the power plant compact and lightweight. For example, a block of supercapacitors is placed under the rear seats and weighs only 100 kg. Details of the internal combustion engine - at least. Chief Designer Andrew Ginsburg, said only that he had a rotary-piston, but not built according to the scheme Wankel. It is known that the engine will develop 61 hp and operate on natural methane. Consumption, in terms of petrol, will be only 3,5-4 liters per 100 kilometers. In this case, a universal platform of the project "City Car" provides various options and schemes of power plants. For example, a consistent scheme can be replaced by a parallel, where the internal combustion engine and electric motor will be connected to the wheels. ICE itself can be replaced by a turbine or installing a fuel cell. The construction of all motors is easily scalable, so their capacity can be increased if desired. Therefore, based on a universal platform will create a whole family of cars. While the first two show cars - three-door hatchback and a city with fashionable contours crossover coupe. Designer Andrew Trofimchuk was instructed not to get involved and not too away from the generally accepted canons of the automotive market. Although the design has turned a harmonious and modern, but the first "Prokhorov-mobiles" are similar to all the machines at once. City hatchback with a spectacular break parapet line resembles an abstract "Asian." And the youth of crossover-trehdverki can find features BMW X6, Infiniti EX, Auidi TT and the Renault Megane Coupe. All machines will have a two-tone paint, invented by Belarusian artist and designer Sergei Cesler. The developers promise that the city's hatch on the space for rear passengers is comparable to the BMW 7-Series. And in the trunk can fit two bags of potatoes. In this case, due to a universal platform could make the car very compact - 3,891 mm in length and 1,611 mm in height. At the same wheelbase car at a golf class (2550 mm). Based on the hatchback will be produced and the delivery van with a double cabin. On the dimensions of the crossover yet unknown. Speed ??car is electronically limited to 120 km / h. This is done for security reasons. In this family hatchback 750 kg accelerates to 100 km / h for 12 s, and a more powerful crossover - 8 seconds. Previously reported that the body of cars will be made from composite material based on basalt fiber, like fomenkovskih "Marus". This lightweight and durable material has been developed in the Soviet Union back in the seventies. But apparently, the development of basalt fiber zatyagivaetcya. Therefore, the final decision on the car body material is not accepted. Obviously only that it will not steel. Vehicles equipped with airbags, and according to the developers, it can withstand certification crash tests. However, the possible outcome of more stringent Euro NCAP tests, the designers said evasively. But the promise that the most expensive car in the line will cost no more than 450 thousand rubles. And if you refuse to complete the drive, throwing an electric motor, and save on tools and safety equipment, the price tag is empty the machine will fall to 350 thousand rubles. True, it is cheaper to buy Kalina, Priora, Renault Logan and Sandero. But the creators of "car Prokhorov," argue that the cost of their child, including maintenance, will be much smaller, and the units have multiple safety margin. But it's still the word. Have not even announced the name of the new items. Although the final version, they say, has been selected. A nationwide competition for the title of "Car Prokhorov," turned out to be quite modest - it was attended by about 7,500 people. People's options did not differ ingenuity - Prokhor or beg, and various derivatives of ONEXIM and Yarovit. Name, recognize the best, optimistic, does not inspire: "777", "Az", "Advance", "Chariot." Plant parts and the first assembly plant will appear in July 2012. However, the teaser Moreover, the St. Petersburg plant company Yarovit "the project has nothing to do and will continue to produce trucks. Localization of about 80%. But the project will cost just 150 million. In the future we plan to create a regional assembly plants. It's easy, because the build cars will be very simple. Where will the construction of the first companies to produce rossiskih hybrids, still a secret. However, if you look closely not released figures, the numbers on the cars can make out the figure of the region - 07. That Kabardino-Balkariya. CEO of the project "City Car" Sergey Biryukov was confident that even the owners of Mercedes want to change seats at a unique Russian car. But while the annual plan modest - 10,000 hybrids. And then it all depends on demand. Like a fairy tale? Yes, but this tale is gradually becoming a true story. And the production, "Prokhorov-Mobil promise to start exactly on time.
