These are the "Cats" most sold in the first quarter in Spain

The vehicle dynamic segment is very active and either compact multipurpose as more and more attractive proposals. In Spain sales figures have been increasing in recent months, making quite important but always away from other markets such as the UK figures.

Among small MINI sets the tone with good sales of the Cooper S / Cooper SD which are widely accepted. It has separated the JCW version so you can check it also has a relatively strong pull. Worse luck has passed the Juke Nismo has not settled or a unit, with the DIG-T 190 hp which is itself well positioned.

The Ibiza Cupra which will normally have good sales has been somewhat behind, losing even against the Polo GTI with promotions has a very attractive price. Opel Corsa OPC and Peugeot 208 GTI remain at fairly low levels.

Complicated place the "dynamic" concept with diesel engines but we understand that the most powerful versions with 180 hp or more and have a fairly loose walk. In the case of a mechanical and Ford Focus linked ST will finish while Peugeot or SEAT are GT and FR respectively. Take advantage of these data and additional information without much regard for sportsmanship.

Among the true "GTIs" it should be noted the excellent progress of the Leon Cupra 290 range taking advantage leading to other proposals. The Civic Type R is the surprise beating many other models usually used to be above. Aesthetics and mechanics along with a fair price seem to be the key.

We've gotten into this group for its close MINI Clubman features a compact but it really is a difficult car to classify. Sports or more powerful versions of the Kia Cee'd, Hyundai i30 and Nissan Pulsar have no particular relevance as the Peugeot 308 GTI has not entered strongly, achieving total sales in September (only 1 250 hp).

The new BMW M4 is already listed with four units registered and although it is far from the 45 AMG Mercedes, looks like it could soon make some noise. Yes, the Audi RS3 Sportback works really well even leaving far behind the Audi S3, much cheaper.

You know what the carbotanium ?: For hallucinates with the mixture of carbon fiber and metal ...

Yes, we all know what is carbon fiber, but the world of composite materials is simply stunning. Worth checking the brake and stop and see what they are made of some of the most spectacular models of the planet, do not you think ?.

The carbotanium or carbo-titanium is a high-tech composite material that combines rigidity and lightness of carbon fiber with the durability, lightness and hardness of titanium. Too much lightness and toughness?

The material is used in the aircraft industry but it was a crazy manufacturer who decided to introduce in the motor world to this mixture, it is not impressive ?.

The carbotanium is also known as a composite material patented by Modena Design, industrial arm of the Italian car company Pagani. It is a combination of titanium alloy with carbon compounds really advanced.

When the combination is completed by adhesives, the two sides will approach the maximum strength. The composite of titanium and carbon are combined by a first abrading titanium, covering the titanium with platinum, aging the titanium or by spraying a primer on titanium and subsequent application of an adhesive to which is paste subsequently fiber carbon.

This compound has the best properties of each component of the combination, and a whole improves the properties of both parties. This material is strong, durable and lightweight time.

The inventor of this thought the best idea would be to combine both in a single material and the best name, or rather, the most original they could think of was to unite both names ...

When it is desired to provide the titanium some elasticity should be combined with carbon fibers. This combination displays good properties at ambient temperatures and temperatures up to 315 ° C.

The latest version of Pagani Zonda R is the first car made a monocoque carbotanium. Given the success, his successor, named Huayra.

Thanks to this material, the latest creation from Pagani weighs a mere 1,350 kg but the weight is not only what matters. During an accident, the carbon fiber splinter and pilgrimage into a thousand pieces, something very dangerous, however, with the introduction of titanium in the equation ensures that the materials will always be united and simply deform as does the veneer or aluminum vehicles normal street.
