｜你個癲佬吖……｜
Goodwood Festival of Speed將至，大家都動作多多。英國有人取一輛R56 MINI Cooper S，塞入來自BMW M3嘅4.0 NA V8同7DCT，名為「VINI, the Powerflex V8 MINI」，屆時將同大家見面。
部車望落斯文，但內裏其實相當open，基本上所有嘢都係bespoke。除咗引擎外，驅動布局改為後驅，底盤改用來自WRX STi嘅subframe，前麥花臣懸掛都係度身訂造。
內櫳可拆就拆，用大量裸碳纖，成品只重約1,300kg，輸出達414匹，車胎採用Toyo Proxes R888R，據講駕駛感可挑戰「物理學極限」。唔知聲底有幾癲呢？

｜一吋長，一吋強～｜
荷蘭有人登出一部Mercedes-Benz X 350D 6 Wheeler，里數10,538km，據講只此一部，靈感係「一輛『實用版』嘅G 63 AMG 6x6」。特長車斗下配備自制subframe同第三條車軸，懸掛升高10cm，仲有越野胎軨、大包圍、防滾架同AMG風格面罩㖭。至於頭冚下面，AMG V8就當然無啦，取而代之係原裝柴油3.0 turbo V6，輸出254匹／56.1kgm，賣家亦不忘sell佢比AMG慳家，暗串指「你可以真真正正揸呢部車（X 350d）去越野，唔需要喺油站呆等」喎。

【自製Classic Mini電動車】
繼Swind E之後，英國Swindon Powertrain推出電動Classic Mini Kit，直接安裝喺原廠subframe之上，畀你將部Classic Mini改成EV，摩打馬力107匹，個kit重約70kg，但就無提及續航力同性能，售價£8,850起，今年十二月出貨，聖誕禮物啱晒喎～

Body and Chassis Design
The 2018 Accord's new body structure is lighter and more rigid, utilizing 29 percent ultra-high-strength steel, the most ever for a mass-produced Honda car. Overall, the new Accord employs 54.2 percent high strength steel (above 440 MPa).
Key body features include the latest generation of Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure with crash stroke front frame, tailor-tempered rear frame members for improved crash-energy absorption, and the extensive use of structural adhesives for increased rigidity, cabin quietness and weight reduction. Total vehicle weight is down between approximately 110 to 176 pounds, depending on trim, while body torsional and bending rigidity are improved 32 and 24 percent, respectively, aiding ride quality, cabin quietness, and dynamic performance.
Mated to the new body is a more sophisticated new chassis design. The 2018 Accord's chassis is 6-percent lighter than before (not including wheels and tires) and features a new Macpherson strut front suspension with L-shaped aluminum lower arms mounted to an aluminum front subframe. The new setup better isolates and manages varying road inputs, improving handling precision, ride quality and cabin quietness along with outstanding high-speed stability and control. The new, more space-efficient rear suspension is a multi-link design mounted to a more rigid, floating rear subframe. Fluid-filled compliance bushings at all four corners further improve ride comfort and absorption of road irregularities.
Touring trims of Accord also feature, for the first time, an Adaptive Damper System with the ability to adjust shock absorber damping force every 1/500 of a second (0.002 second), using a proprietary Honda control algorithm, providing for a more compliant and controlled ride in all driving situations. The adaptive dampers are tied to a Two-Mode Driving System with Normal and Sport modes that allows the driver to dial-up/down the vehicle's sporty reflexes depending on the driving environment. The system engages with multiple chassis and drivetrain components, including the new dual-pinion variable-ratio electric power steering (EPS), automatic transmission, drive-by-wire throttle, adaptive dampers and Active Sound Control system, to provide the driver with an expanded range of driving characteristics. An ECON mode is also available that helps improve fuel efficiency by modifying throttle mapping and HVAC operation.
The new Accord has a 10-mm lower center of gravity. The adoption of lighter-weight turbocharged engines and other body design changes reduce the vehicle's moment of inertia, resulting in crisper turn-in and steering response. All models now have near optimal FWD weight distribution of approximately 60/40 percent front/rear. Accords with the new 2.0-liter VTEC turbo and 10AT check in at approximately 61/39 percent front/rear, a significant improvement versus the current V6 Accord with 6AT.
Along with the first application of structural adhesives to Accord, cabin quietness is further enhanced by a comprehensive sound-insulating package that includes full underbody covers (which also aid aerodynamics), front and rear fender and engine compartment insulators, alloy wheels with Honda-proprietary resonator technology, sound-absorbing carpet, acoustic laminated windshield glass – plus front door acoustic glass on EX and above – and a new, 3-microphone Active Noise Control system. The result is low noise levels with a well-balanced sound quality and a pleasingly sporty engine note.
Advanced Safety and Driver-Assistive Technology
For 2018, all Accords feature the full suite of Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment. Honda Sensing includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Lane Departure Warning, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and, for the first time, Traffic Sign Recognition (see Safety section for more details). Additional available driver-assistive technologies include Blind Spot Information, front and rear parking sensors, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor and Driver Awareness Monitor; and all models feature a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with dynamic guidelines.
Standard advanced active and passive safety systems include Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, Anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brake Booster, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), advanced front airbags, driver and front-passenger side airbags and new driver and front-passenger knee airbags. The Accord targets top U.S. government (NCAP) and IIHS collision safety ratings.
