Article from a 1993 Holiday Auto magazine on what they thoughtvwere the best JDM engines from the previous 12 months.

TRANSLATION

Holiday Auto No.1 Selection '92~'93

engine department

Japanese power unit is the best in the world

The reaction to the “Twin Cam” feature in the opening feature of the 9/10 issue was tremendous. We have a wide range of products from current powerful engines to past famous machines and future models, but the one with a supercharger won the number one spot.

Boosted No 1 Nissan's RB26DETT,

Natural intake was Honda's C30A.

RB26DETT (equipped with Skyline GT-R)

King with supercharger

I'm really conscious of the race

Literally the famous machine that became the driving force behind the "R" myth.

Since its debut in 1988, the Skyline GT-R has shown overwhelming performance. The heart of this is the RB26DETT model. As the slogan of the BNR32 GT-R says, “In the beginning, the engine was there. The mechanics are transcendent."

The 6-throttle chamber has a butterfly type throttle valve for each cylinder to enhance throttle response. The turbo is a hybrid of the T3 type on the compressor side and the T25 type that uses a ceramic rotor on the turbine side. The intercooler has a large capacity. The main body is also fully armed with a cooling channel piston and an EX valve during sodium filling. All of Nissan's technology has been incorporated.

▲Metal sodium is added to the stem of the exhaust valve, enclosed. Solid at room temperature and liquefied at high temperature

Suppresses the temperature rise of the exhaust valve by using the properties of sodium

_______________________________________________

C30A

(Equipped with NSX)

King of naturally aspirated

I also want to focus on weight reduction

A V-shaped unit created with the ultimate in luxury

The domestic high-power engine has become a 280ps battle. However, the C30A is the only naturally aspirated engine that achieves this figure.

The C30A is the second VTEC engine. In addition to the technology of the B16A type, it also adopts a variable capacity device for the intake manifold. This is to close the valve provided in the manifold chamber up to about 4800 rpm, and to increase the torque by inertial intake due to pulsation change.

The V type with a 90-degree angle is lightweight, and the tuning of the rotation system is also carefully considered. These include molybdenum-coated pistons, titanium connecting rods, ultra-precision mirror-finished crankshafts, and a deep-skirt-type cylinder block made of aluminum light alloy.

▲Big Bore, Short Stroke and Honda Racing

Following the theory of Guengin. In addition to VTEC, intake

A manifold variable capacity device is adopted to aim for the top

2JZGTE

It's Aristo's heart

2nd place

2JZ-GTE (with Aristo)

It may have been upgraded, but it will be installed, but at that time it will be even more powerful. The torque value of 44.0-kgm is in the class for the Supra scheduled to debut this year

Maximum output:280 hp / 5600 rpm Maximum torque:44.0 kgm/3600 rpm

As mentioned in the top speed section, Toyota's strongest engine that supports Aristo is the 2JZ-GTE type. The base is the 1JZ-GTE type that debuted one step ahead, but the 86.0 x 71.5mm bore x stroke has been souped up and changed to the 86.0 x 86.0mm square type. Toyota's first two-way twin turbo system (sequential turbo) is adopted for this, and it demonstrates the maximum output / maximum torque of 280ps / 44.0kgm. The torque value of 44.0kg m is the strongest in its class. It will also be installed in the next Supra.

6G72

Big torque in low speed range

6G72

(with Mitsubishi GTO)

You can run the GTO fast without doing it. ▼ As you can see from the maximum torque at only 2500 rpm, it is a torque-oriented type. That's why it's a regular shift work

MITSUBISHI

V6 DOHC

Maximum output 280 horsepower / 6000 rpm Maximum torque: 42.5 kgm / 2500 rpm

Mitsubishi's heavy fighter, the power unit that pulls the GTO is the 6G72 type. Mitsubishi engines are originally characterized by their focus on torque, and the 6G72 is no exception. Rather, the turbo tune makes its character even clearer. The maximum torque value of 42.5kgm is proof of that. Mechanically, it will be a twin turbo & twin intercooler V6 DOHC that adopts an electronically controlled variable intake system, a new intake port, an active exhaust system, and a high-precision electronically controlled fuel injection system.

B16A

You should enjoy the taste of this once B16A (equipped with Civic etc.)

2nd place

HONDA

continue to reign in The B16A model is the one that made Honda VTEC known to the world. high speed saga

Maximum output: 170 horsepower / 7800 rpm Maximum torque: 16.0 kgm / 7300 rpm

The B16A was the first model to adopt VTEC (Variable Valve Timing Wrist Mechanism). VTEC is a mechanism that uses cams with different profiles in the low speed range and high speed range, aiming to increase peak output in the high rpm range and practical mid- to low-speed torque. In the new model, the compression ratio was increased to 10.4, the valve timing and valve lift were changed, and intake and exhaust efficiency was improved by reducing intake and exhaust resistance. As a result, we achieved 170ps, which is 10ps higher than the conventional model.

4G92

4G92 (equipped with MIVEC, Mirage, etc.)

The cam profile switching mechanism is similar to VTEC, but in the case of MIVEC,

two of the four cylinders are cam-coupled

is rigidly connected to either rocker arm.

The valve will not open unless

the hydraulic piston is not moving

MIVEC

Mitsubishi's next-generation mecha

DOHC 16 VALVE

Maximum output: 175 horsepower / 7800 rpm Maximum torque: 16.0 kgm / 7300 rpm

20V 4A-GE

Behold the brilliance of 5 valves

4A-GE (with Levin/Trueno)

Maximum output: 160 horsepower / 7400 rpm Maximum torque: 18.2 kgm / 4800 rpm

The new 4A-GE is a 5-valve DOHC with 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. This is combined with VVT (variable valve timing), and a quadruple throttle is adopted to achieve a sharp pickup that does not take sink marks in VTEC and MIVEC.

Um dos carros vai ter o numero 007 fazendo mansão ao personagem James Bond que dirigi carros da marca nos filmes.

Cadillac

A Cadillac acabou o acordo com a Chip Ganassi e vai correr em acordo com a equipe Britânica Jota  e entrada de 2 carros.Recentemente a Jota e Cadillac anunciaram o line-up para 2025 mantendo o trio Sebastien Bourdais, Alex Lynn e Earl Bamber que correu asa 8h do Bahrein em Despedida com a Chip Ganassi Racing #2 e o trio que competiu com o Porsche privado #12 e #38 em 2024 com Jenson Button, Will Stevens e Norman Nato.

Porsche

A Porsche em acordo com a Penske  alterou a escalação do carro #5 para Michael Christenssen e Julian Andlauer que correu a temporada inteira com o Porsche da equipe Proton #99 que teve uma boa participação em SPA.

Ferrari

A Ferrari da fabrica manteve as escalações dos carros #50 e 51 para 2025,  más avaliam já fazer atualizações na 499 P para 2025.

Toyota

A Toyota não falou em mudanças de escalação e evolução do GR010 Hybrid até 2026 quando vem o novo carro a Hydrogênio.

Peugeot

A  Peugeot a principio  ainda continua em 2025 más já se gera duvidas  porque a marca Francesa já fez varias atualizações no 9x8 desde 2022 e tem uma curva de evolução em forma de “montanha russa” sobe e desse, provavelmente um dos fatores sendo o Bop das etapas, tanto que o grupo Stellantis já falou em até trocar a Peugeot pela Alfa Romeu no Fia WEC , más o grupo já gastou bilhões de Euros no 9 x 8 LMH.

Lamborghini

A marca Italiana acabou abandonando o campeonato do Fia WEC, pela nova regra de 2 carros por equipe de fabrica e por problemas mutuos desfez o acordo com a Iron Lynx.

Vanwall

A marca e equipe Austriaca esperava voltar ao grid em 2025 com 2 carros , mas a inscrição foi negada pela Fia e ACO.

Isotta Fraschini

A marca Italiana desfez acordo com a equipe Francesa Duqueine que deixou a Isotta Fraschini com uma dívida de 6,2 bilhões de Euros o que até fez que depois das 6 horas de São Paulo desistisse da temporada de 2024 para tentar estar no campeonato em 2025, até por causa da regra 2 dois carros por equipe de fabrica, que á possibilidade de retorno com equipes diferentes más era pequena.

Uma das mudanças será a aplicação de um sistema eletrônico em painéis de led de classificação nos carros.

AF Corse , a equipe cliente da terceira 499 P , vai continuar em 2025 no grid , que venceu as 6h de Austin , com mudanças de pilotos o Robert Shartzmann vai correr na Indycar com a equipe Prema Racing sendo substituído pelo Phil Hansson, esperava-se que Pipo Derani podesse correr nessa Ferrari.

Porsche

A única equipe por enquanto confirmada como cliente da Porsche será a Proton , esperava-se que pudesse até assumir um dos chassis que eram da Jota , e ter dois carros no grid.

A equipe Rodin Motorsport que compete varias categorias está interessada em entrar no Fia WEC, e pode ser um dos Porsche 963 que era da Jota , más não foi nada concretizado.

IMSA

Cadillac

Lamborghini

A Lamborghini anunciou continuidade no IMSA nas etapas de endurance ,que até tinha possibilidade de estar na temporada integral , más com a nova regra de 2 carros por fabricante no Fia WEC ,por questões financeiras isso não vai ser possível, no entanto a marca Italiana desfez o acordo com a Iron Lynx no Fia WEC e no IMSA e por conta de ficar “de mãos atadas” sem uma equipe para operar os SC63 e Huracan GT3 evo 2 nos dois campeonatos, mas permanece no IMSA ,podendo ter dois carros em 2025.

Drive Smart: The Hidden Costs and Top Picks for Savvy Car Buyers-FEATURE from Test Miles on Vimeo.

When purchasing a new family vehicle, it's easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of price tags, shiny features, and fuel economy stats. But if you want to truly maximize your investment, it's time to flip the script and consider those sneaky hidden costs that can take a toll on your budget. We're talking insurance, ownership costs, and the all-important resale value. These factors, often brushed aside, can make or break your financial peace of mind. The Analytical Approach to Car Buying Picture this: you're at the dealership, heart racing as you eye that sleek new ride. Your right brain—the emotional side—is in full control. But wait! It's time to engage your left brain—the analytical side. How much will insurance spike with this new car? What about repair expenses down the road? And crucially, what will it fetch when you're ready to sell? These questions are your secret weapon in making a savvy, forward-thinking purchase. Resale Value: The Unsung Hero Consider the end of your car’s lifecycle first. Brands like Lexus and Toyota are rock stars in the resale value game. These cars hold their value better than many competitors, making them smart buys. For off-road enthusiasts, a Toyota Land Cruiser or a Lexus GX isn’t just a rugged choice; it’s a financially sound one. These vehicles keep your budget intact and boost your confidence on every terrain. Tech and Performance: The BMW Benchmark Let’s talk tech. BMW is leading the charge with cutting-edge technology. The BMW X5 Plug-in Hybrid stands out, marrying stellar performance with exceptional value. With over-the-air updates, you save trips to the dealer, ensuring your software is always up-to-date. Imagine sitting in your car, ready for a trip, and finding the latest updates installed overnight. Now that’s convenience. And performance? BMW’s M Cars are legends on the track and road. Would it surprise you to know the best-selling M car is the all-electric i4 M50? This car shatters preconceptions about electric vehicles, delivering thrills and efficiency in one sleek package. Electric Dreams: Ford and Chevy Leading the Way Considering electric? Opt for a manufacturer with a solid service network. BMW’s 366 dealerships across the US make servicing and charging a breeze. If you’re eyeing a Ford, the Mach-E GT and Rally are fantastic choices, priced at $54k and $60k respectively. These models will satisfy both your practical and performance needs. Don’t overlook Chevy’s electric offerings. The upcoming Equinox EV is expected to drop below $30k with federal tax incentives. For something more robust, the Silverado EV boasts a range of 440 miles, a blistering 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and the innovative Mid-Gate feature. This allows you to expand the bed to 10 feet long—perfect for those unexpected DIY projects. My quick demo of this feature racked up over a million views on social media! KIA: The Dark Horse of Value For value hunters, KIA is hard to beat. Their all-electric EV9 is winning awards left and right, offering 300 miles on a single charge and starting under $60k. KIA’s upcoming lineup, including the EV3 and a potential pickup truck, promises exciting times ahead. With a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty, KIA combines reliability and affordability like a pro. Future Forward: BMW’s Bold Moves Finally, let’s indulge the left brain with BMW’s upcoming treats. From the fun and stylish SKYTOP model to the rumored M5 wagon, and the versatile Neue Klasse Sedan, BMW is set to redefine driving excitement and practicality. The Bottom Line The secret to getting the best value in a car isn't just about style, tech, or fuel economy. It's about looking at the full picture: ownership costs, resale value, and long-term reliability. Engage both sides of your brain, and you’ll drive away not just with a car, but with a smart investment. Ready to drive smart? Keep these tips in mind, and your next car purchase will be a triumph of both heart and mind.

Declining Culture - Taxis

Hong Kong is known for their iconic taxis in green, red and blue. The iconic model, Toyota Crown Comfort is the fixed car for taxis and is heavily associated with Hong Kong taxis since 1974.

99% of Hong Kong's taxi drivers use this model, however in 2017, Toyota discontinued the production of the Toyota Comfort. In replacement, the Toyota JPN comfort Hybrid and Ford Transit Connects taxis have started to be used more commonly.

This may seem like a minor issue to many, but to Hong Kong people the iconic Toyota Crown Comfort is what will always be associated with Taxis. It feels like just another thing that is reducing Hong Kong's culture.

Toyota Tacoma Gen 4 Performance Upgrades

Congrats on getting yourself a Toyota Tacoma Gen 4 truck! The 2024+ Tacoma is a major improvement over previous generations. Available in popular trims such as the SR, SR5, Limited, and TRD versions, all of these new Tacoma trucks have one thing in common; the new 2.4L turbocharged engine! A turbo Tacoma means the world of modifications becomes much easier to gain power.

Why is gaining horsepower and torque important for Toyota Tacoma owners? The 2.4L already comes equipped with about 280 horsepower and the hybrid TRD Pro has 326hp which is good for the compact truck. But as you start to outfit your vehicle with more gear for your offroad adventures or weekend traveling, you start to add weight to the truck which slows it down. Many Tacoma owners are looking to add Overland accessories such as racks, rooftop tents, awnings, and more which is great for that weekend getaway. Tents can weigh an extra 200-300 lbs alone. Add on some of the other gear, your essentials, and provisions, and you can easily add on an extra 500-800lbs of equipment! So this extra weight can affect your performance needs. More torque and horsepower for the Tacoma 2.4L means massive improvements when climbing or powering through sand washes on the trail!

So what mods can help you increase the horsepower of your new Toyota Tacoma? aFe Power makes the perfect couple of first mods to do that are off-road friendly and won’t have your dealer up in arms for warranty.

Cold Air Intake

Turbocharged cars love to breathe. The more airflow you can get into and out of that turbo the more power you will produce. aFe has their new Cold Air Intake which is designed in a sealed box which is perfect for the Tacoma owner who likes to go offroad. As tested on a stock truck, this intake added 15hp and 17ft/lbs over stock. This alone is a 5% increase in power! In addition to the performance, the air intake will enhance the sound of the engine making the truck way more fun to drive.

Intercooler pipes

To further improve the airflow of the 2.4L turbocharged engine, aFe Power has upgraded intercooler pipes. These new hot and cold side charge pipes are designed to improve the airflow to the air-to-water intercooler core. Providing smooth bends that do not cause turbulence inside the hoses helps increase efficiency delivering you more power. Where most OEM hoses are rubber or plastic, these new hoses are a combination of CNC-machined aluminum and aluminum tubing with silicone couplers to provide a strong, secure fitting. The charge pipes were dyno tested and they added 10hp and 11ft/lbs of torque. In fact, the cold side was tested against the stock pipe and flowed 5% better. The hot side was also tested flowing 12% more than stock!

Exhaust

Now that your turbocharged Toyota Tacoma is breathing better, it’s time to improve the exhaust flow. Exhausts are always the biggest restriction on a turbocharged vehicle. Turbos need to just blow straight out the hot side. But if you did this, it would be extremely loud like a trophy truck! So aFe has developed their new catback exhausts in different tip variations for the off-road enthusiast. A catback will not only add more horsepower and torque, it will help improve the sound of the truck giving you way more enjoyment as you go through the RPMs. The catback exhaust tested added nearly 13 horsepower and 15 ft/lbs of torque as tested on a Dynojet dyno.

Adding these mods gives you a combined horsepower increase of 38hp over stock which substantially improves the 2.4L Toyota Tacoma performance. Do you have more questions? Contact our Off-Road Specialists by Chat, Phone, or Email!

Despite the rather high price, this is the most affordable Lexus crossover The Lexus LBX crossover , introduced in June of this year,  went on sale in the home market. In Japan, they ask for from 30.5 to 38.2 thousand dollars - not cheap, considering that the length is only 4.19 m (wheelbase - 2580 mm), and is based on the Toyota Yaris Cross platform (TNGA-D) . [caption id="attachment_81207" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Toyota Yaris Cross[/caption] Lexus LBX is equipped exclusively with hybrid powertrains based on a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 91 hp. The total engine power of the front-wheel drive version is 185 hp, the all-wheel drive version is 191 hp.

end of oct

since my last post:

went with my parents to toyota north hollywood with the intention of test driving a corolla cross hybrid - they are looking to replace their 2003 highlander. my parents had purchased the highlander in 2003, a lexus sedan in 2013, so it *made sense* to purchase another car in 2023 lol. instead, we walked out purchasing a gas rav4. it was a 5 hour process, and i left early because i had I&I's wedding to attend. it's a cute panda color car but i haven't had the chance to drive it yet. there was a lot of negotiating on the price; they would not waiver on the markups and we ended up purchasing the car for about 11% over sticker price. i didn't get a chance to do much research before the car buying process and it seemed my dad just wanted to get the process over with because i was in town. so, we got an OK price - not the best but wasn't overly ripped off either

my ultrasound results came back fairly normal. the gyno office also looked at my results and said things are fine now, and to do a follow up ultrasound in 6 months. the transvaginal thing wasn't too bad. there is a 14mm echogenic area around my right ovary that may represent a small benign ovarian dermoid. i should keep better track, but i think i feel the most tension during ovulation. i have scheduled an in-person visit with my PCP in january to do a physical examination and pap smear.

I&I's wedding was very sweet, my first and last korean wedding (as i have no other korean friends). we were surprised that we got invited because the wedding was pretty intimate (<120 people) and we haven't kept in touch besides a few zooms for years. G&I got ready at M's place, where she helped me do make up. it was much heavier than usual, so i felt uncomfortable looking in the mirror that night lol.

the stress of everything (matt's long working hours - he again had to work a 100+ hour week, job search failures, not moving at the same speeds because of his work hours, constant state of limbo, also my moms daily questioning of his job prospects) had me feeling extremely overwhelmed after this whole redlands incident. i had asked for chatgpt to give me some advice, which it churned out very insightful words- the thing i struggle with most is having *realistic* expectations. it's been difficult for me to come to terms with choosing to stay in NYC longer than i want to, because i feel we should be more in control of our situation after training. anyway, recently i have taken job searching into my own hands. now there is a better understanding of what jobs matt is looking for. i have way more time and energy to search for jobs/email people and monitor job postings. norcal, we may be coming for ya. thanks chatgpt for helping me with writing cover letters and for being a virtual therapist.

i arrived in NYC last wednesday morning (red eye flight), and we had a weekend getaway at the same machimoodus getaway cabin on saturday. hertz gave us a chevy bolt this time. it was a little stressful to figure out the charging situation (and it charges much much more slowly than a tesla). i actually quite enjoyed driving the car and may consider purchasing a non-tesla EV in the future. we got to hike and see beautiful fall foliage. prepared hot pot this time, and a yummy miso-garlic butter pepper steak (marion grasby recipe). i also enjoyed skim reading the "how to get away book" written by the getaway founders.

i saw my japanese friends M&K yesterday, and got to meet baby girl E. it was about a 3 hour hangout, and we were at a coffee shop's rooftop the entire time. we stumbled across this coffee shop randomly and it worked out perfectly. the rooftop was private, spacious and the weather was great. per my usual self, i was very nervous to meet them again because i had not seen or talked to them much in 4 years. my social anxiety is dormant more frequently in my 30s, but it still reactivates often enough haha.

there were two friend's bdays this month: S & K. K was supposed to meet us at the getaway, but ultimately she and M have decided to break up. it was one of the hardest decisions she's had to make and it's been a difficult time for her.

Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing with regards to electrifying overall performance vehicles, Mercedes-Benz feels there’s no silver round. The automaker’s Mercedes-AMG overall performance unit has recently designed EVs like AMG EQE SUV additionally the S63 AMG E Efficiency sedan, a plug-in hybrid that sets electric help with among brand’s standard V8 machines. AMG’s newest electrified design — a hot-rodded form of the GLC-Class lightweight crossover SUV and a rival to show SUVs like BMW X3 M and Porsche Macan — sits someplace in between those extremes. Arriving in showrooms when you look at the last half of 2024 as a 2025 design, the Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Efficiency, whilst’s officially understood, is a plug-in hybrid like newest S63 — but one which utilizes electrical power to pay for a radically downsized motor. In place of a large V8 like S63 and last-generation GLC63, it utilizes an even more affordable turbocharged four-cylinder motor. In place of managing electrification like essential medication, this AMG plug-in hybrid embraces its opportunities. Design and interior The GLC63 is applicable slight styling modifications to a currently slight redesign associated with the base GLC, which premiered for 2023 design 12 months searching just about like its forerunner. To that particular nondescript base, AMG adds a grille having its trademark straight slats, bigger front side atmosphere intakes, a rear diffuser, prominent tailpipes, many outside badging. Just real vehicle lovers will more than likely observe these variations, which provides the GLC63 some included cool element. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing Like other GLC variants, the GLC63 is available in standard SUV and coupe body styles. The term “coupe” traditionally refers to a two-door car, but Mercedes and fellow German automakers BMW, Audi, and Porsche have stretched that term to include four-door cars with low, sloped rooflines. These vehicles are still true coupes in the sense that they offer less rear headroom and cargo space than old-fashioned SUVs. The GLC63 is applicable slight styling modifications to a currently slight redesign associated with the base GLC. In standard SUV kind, the GLC63 provides similar cargo area to similarly-sized deluxe SUVs like BMW X3 and Porsche Macan. That’s among advantages of an AMG Mercedes: under the overall performance improvements, it is nevertheless a typical vehicle. The inside employs a familiar but gratifying meal. Mercedes’ present home design motif seems razor-sharp. The angled dashboard, freestanding displays, and large round vents give the cabin an exceptional appearance and convey this is not a regular Honda or Toyota. AMG designs obtain the anticipated performance-car callouts, including a mixture of microfiber and Nappa fabric furniture and recommended recreation seating with additional bolstering. Tech, infotainment, and driver assist The infotainment system holds over from non-AMG GLC designs, indicating it provides a 12.3-inch electronic tool group and an 11.9-inch touchscreen. Both tend to be freestanding, aided by the touchscreen angled somewhat toward the motorist to produce an even more cockpit-like experience, based on Mercedes. Cordless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard as well. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing The screen setup and underlying Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) operating system are similar to other recent Mercedes models, such as the S-Class and C-Class sedans. As in those vehicles, it’s hard to find fault with the interface, which uses what Mercedes calls a “Zero Layer” arrangement that eschews menu pages for small widgets displayed side by side, or the graphics. Instead of traditional dials, for example, the instrument cluster uses a cool wave pattern for the tachometer. Mercedes’ voice control is also excellent, so much so that we ended up using it by default instead of fiddling with the touchscreen. It’s hard to find fault with the infotainment interface. The GLC63 also adds a

built-in data logger, dubbed AMG Track Pace, that can record lap times and data traces for things like steering angle and brake pedal use at racetracks. That kind of data can be useful for improving driving technique and shaving tenths of a second off lap times, but we doubt many owners will take a luxury SUV to a racetrack and make use of this feature. Like the rest of the GLC lineup, the GLC63 includes expected driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep help, however won’t get a hold of any cutting-edge tech like Drive Pilot system today moving call at minimal places in the Mercedes S-Class and EQS. This vehicle only is not about this. All the technology when you look at the GLC63 adopts making the driving knowledge much more concerning, perhaps not less. Driving knowledge A complex powertrain tends to make great usage of both gas and electrical energy. It begins with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder motor that on it's own creates 469 horse power and 402 pound-feet of torque, with a tiny electric engine to help keep the turbo rotating at power-producing rates. This will make it the absolute most effective series-production four-cylinder motor on earth, based on Mercedes. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing The gas motor, which will be combined to a nine-speed automated transmission, can potentially run the vehicle on it's own, but Mercedes in addition included a power engine mounted in the back axle along side its very own two-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential. A 6.1-kilowatt-hour battery power permits 107 horse power of constant production with this engine, or 201 hp simply speaking blasts. Combined production is 671 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque, or 168 hp and 236 lb-ft above the final GLC63 got from the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Mercedes claims the GLC63 will achieve 60 miles per hour from a standstill in 3.4 moments. For research, the GLC63’s primary opponent, the BMW X3 M, gets 503 hp from a non-hybrid powertrain in top competitors kind. But despite an important energy benefit, the Mercedes is 0.3 moments faster versus BMW. Both have actually top-speed governors, aided by the Mercedes restricted to 171 miles per hour additionally the BMW achieving 177 miles per hour aided by the recommended M Efficiency Package. whenever unleashed, the GLC63 seems remarkable adequate to justify the AMG badge. Regardless, a sub-4.0-second operate from zero to 60 miles per hour remains impressive regarding car, aside from an extravagance SUV. Additionally impressive may be the selection of equipment Mercedes always result in the GLC63 manage less like an SUV plus like a sports vehicle. Transformative suspension system may be made luxuriously smooth or sports-car company, and a dynamic roll stabilization system keeps the human body from tilting over in sides. Rear-axle steering and beefed-up brake system (with 15.4-inch front side and 14.6-inch back rotors) come also. Between the mixture of gas and electrical power, drive settings, and specific configurations for such things as suspension system, steering body weight, and regenerative braking, this really is a vehicle of several characters. it is feasible to dial every thing down and produce an appropriate cruiser hardly perceptible as a performance vehicle, or drive-in electric mode with all the framework configurations in hardcore mode for a sporty EV-like knowledge. If you decide on the many hostile configurations, you obtain an eager, snorting pet that is like it is tugging at its leash whenever you’re obligated to trundle through a tiny city at reasonable rates. whenever unleashed on a twisty roadway, the GLC63 seems remarkable adequate to justify the AMG badge. However it’s nearly because razor-sharp as old-fashioned overall performance SUVs like BMW X3 M and Porsche Macan, which saps self-confidence. Others German overall performance SUVs feels smaller and less heavy than they really tend to be, yet not this Mercedes. And even though the

plug-in hybrid powertrain is a remarkable technical accomplishment, it is not really charming. Full-throttle speed does not feel because intense once the figures advise, and rather than the classic noises of an inside burning motor or perhaps the stark silence of an EV, the GLC63’s sound recording is an odd mixture of muted fatigue noises and whines and whistles from the a number of other technical elements. Gas mileage, electric range, and security Fuel economic climate and electric range quotes weren’t offered at the full time of book, nonetheless it’s safe to state the GLC63 is much more about overall performance than effectiveness. And as it’s really the only plug-in vehicle with its competitive ready, additionally the design it replaces had a twin-turbo V8 ranked at only 17 mpg combined, the club is quite reasonable. Safety rankings may to-be determined, once the Insurance Institute for Highway protection (IIHS) and nationwide Highway visitors protection management (NHTSA) hadn’t introduced any for newest GLC designs during book. Whenever those security rankings do come, it is uncertain if rankings for smaller GLC designs will carry-over into the GLC63. How DT would configure this vehicle Mercedes does not provide many choices beyond paint colors, rims, and carbon fibre trim, but that is perhaps not really the only concern to inquire of when contemplating an AMG GLC63. This will be Mercedes we’re speaking about, and this plug-in crossbreed overall performance SUV will share a crowded showroom along with other designs revealing some significant components. The exact same plug-in hybrid powertrain is employed when you look at the AMG C63 S E Efficiency sedan. Meaning you continue to get 671 hp, in a lighter sedan human anatomy with a reduced center of gravity. That sacrifices some cargo area, and rear-seat guests will undoubtedly be only a little less comfortable, nonetheless it’s the most obvious option with regards to operating characteristics. Stephen Edelstein/Top Reviewing By the full time the GLC63 achieves showrooms, Mercedes will have an AMG GLC43 design readily available. This really ditches the electric area of the GLC63 powertrain, maintaining the gas motor as a standalone energy supply. The GLC43 nevertheless boasts 416 hp and can do zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 moments, based on Mercedes. it is perhaps not area of the electrified zeitgeist, nonetheless it could be much easier to stay with versus dauntingly complex GLC63. The GLC63 presents a middle surface between AMG’s standard overall performance vehicles and EVs. Although it’s alot more entertaining than AMG’s just present all-electric SUV — the AMG EQE SUV — it is nevertheless perhaps not an upgraded to get the best internal-combustion overall performance SUVs. It monitors containers with a strong gas motor and plug-in crossbreed system, in an easy method that produces the GLC63 feel just like a placeholder until even more appealing all-electric overall performance vehicles arrive.

weekly entry 20/10

I want to start documenting my life as a junior doctor weekly so that one day I can look back and say I made it. This week has been hectic and tough, but there's a blessing along the way. I have been told that I am involved in a datix for a mistake back in August. Although my consultants reassured me that I don't have to worry as this wont affect my progression it is something that I reflect deeply and not wanting to do the same mistake again. I cried hard when I first got the email but then I come to my sense as I can only be a better doctor moving forward.

This week is my on call week but I'm blessed that I got to buddied up with a clinical fellow, M and she is so lovely. I am always always so anxious with on call as I am nowhere near the confidence level I'd like to be at but she always tell me that I'm doing the right thing I just need to improve with implying my plans. I think that's the push I needed.

I've also been car hunting and finally put an offer for a Toyota hybrid car, hopefully it goes through. Otherwise I have to opt for a dodgy car from a garage lol.

After getting datix-ed the one thing that I'm still trying to wrap my head around is that I am going to make so much more mistakes from this point onwards until I become a specialist as we are all humans and not robots. But I struggle with dealing with it and it affects my confidence so I just have to move on if I ever make one again.

I am of course so grateful that I have H supporting me and reassuring me always, honestly don't know what i would do or function without him. My mom, is also my biggest source of support eventhough she's on the ohter side of the world.

I came across so many unfortunate events ie patients that make me so grateful (always am but took a step back to thank God for the good health). When I am worrying about something and then hearing and listening to all these stories my problems are really minuscule compared to what some people go through.

Just sitting on the dining table now looking over etihad stadium in this very wet weather. Few years ago this is the stage of life that I've been praying for, I've had so many setbacks but I never gave up and I don't think I should give up now. I am living my dream, I just have to stay focus, move on and take one step at a time. God knows how hard I've worked for this and I know He is watching and wanting me to give and try my best in order for me to get where I want to be in life.

Trying to stay positive when everything is going against me. I guess I just have to trust the process.

Until then.
