kobayashiGT Internal Moderator July 12, 2019 Share July 12, 2019 [Join This Event!] More than 20 years in the making, the world’s first production variable compression ratio engine is now available in Singapore. INFINITI, a Japanese luxury car brand that would challenge the prevailing American and European luxury brands with more human-centric design and empowerment in your drive. Partnering with sgCarMart & MyCarForum for the very first time, HangOut with them as you discover the works of this technological revolution. What's a VC-Turbo engine? As a thread starter, I will explain what a VC-Turbo engine is in my own terms. These pictorials should further illustrate how it works to you petrolheads. In simple words, it is like a car tuner who is constantly tuning your car to your needs - transformative in nature. As some of you may know, a high-performance vehicle usually comes with a shorter compression, which will result in more horsepower. And a fuel-efficient car often has a longer compression ratio to utilize the fuel combustion to make it more efficient. Watch this video for full illustration. None of the manufacturers in the market has mastered this technology, but INFINITI managed to achieve a revolutionary breakthrough. Utilizing an advanced multi-link system, VC-Turbo can adjust its compression ratio on-the-fly and at running speed automatically. While other engines are trapped within a fixed compression ratio, providing the same balance of power and efficiency regardless of the situation. The VC-Turbo continuously adapts and reacts, raising or lowering its pistons’ reach seamlessly and continuously. In short, this is one engine I have always wanted. There are times on the highway where I wish I can sprint faster, and there are moments that I just want to ensure my fuel consumption can help me save that extra dollar. Don't mark my words, go and experience the world's first VC-turbo engine yourself! Still curious? Find out more when you join this event!

kobayashiGT Internal Moderator July 22, 2019 Author Share July 22, 2019 INFINITI QX50 Review. - FInd out more here. The Infiniti QX50 is a mid-sized SUV that will hold its own well against the Germans. "With its creased sheet metal, purposeful stance and bold front fascia, the Infiniti QX50 that you see here is an eye-catching SUV that goes against the likes of the Audi Q5, the BMW X3 and the Lexus NX."But it's more than just a pretty face. - sgCarMart's Review Infiniti's new variable-compression-ratio engine is proving reliable, if not particularly efficient. "Quiet while cruising, impressive passing power, comfortable ride quality." Every QX50 is powered by an innovative turbocharged four-cylinder engine - Car & Driver's review Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdf4786k Twincharged July 24, 2019 Share July 24, 2019 (edited) Go & see and later 'sim hong hong' thinking of changing how .... https://www.caranddriver.com/infiniti/qx50 Not really sure leh.. after reading the link from the Thread, seems like it’s a drinker and it’ comes with the famous CVT .. The unique engine is a breakthru.. just not sure how the local agent will be able to support it. Am sure there will be people train in this. It’s still a worthwhile opportunity to attend to find out more n decide later. Edited July 24, 2019 by Sdf4786k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSP415 Supersonic August 5, 2019 Share August 5, 2019 (edited) U will get the car for the weekend. Likely fri evening to Monday morning. So itâs equivalent to at least 2 days weekend rental, hence the value involved. Hyundai meet up also had this prize n in fact there were even more cars up for the lucky draw. Think 3-4 at least. VW meet up also had a Tiguan drive as prize but it was weekday. Ah, complimentary use of the vehicle over the weekend as prize. Thanks for the clarification. Not attended either of mentioned events hence the mountain turtle rears its head or tail. Edited August 5, 2019 by PSP415 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash2017 Twincharged August 5, 2019 Share August 5, 2019 I had the opportunity to test the whole range (almost) of Infiniti, including driving with front windscreen blacked out, accelerate and emergency stop, tight multiple turns challenge, including live on the road test. Worth the experience. Encourage those who already own and those who is thinking of buying a car to attend. I enjoyed myself very much with a great buffett after that. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
