The new Volkswagen Up for a small car has surely come a big way. The car with its transverse engines under the bonnet and drive to the front wheels has been an eye opener. The car has shared as many as liabilities as possible and it shows in the final cost. Overall the Up looks like a car with no comparison. The smiling face, the glass tailgate which resembles a giant TV screen, the same square-cut, solid stance with a wheel pushed to each corner similar to the original Mini gives the car a refreshing look. At the front, the short and sloping bonnet is also a never before with a brand new three cylinder engine with a capacity of one litre. Even the radiator can be easily sneaked in next to it instead of sitting ahead, making the front end really short and sweet. Even the name of the car comes with a different style. It forms the middle two letters of Lupo, a former tiny Volkswagen, and the experts claimed about its similarity to the Lupo becoming the new car's name once in production. However the name 聭Up was too tempting to give up. The car comes in three trim levels of Take Up, Move Up and High Up. The car is also unique with a low thirst which invariably leads to low CO2 emissions. The base level Up with the five-speed manual gearbox does not quite slide under the 100g/km barrier.
Underneath the bonnet of the Beetle Cabriolet is a 1.2 TSI engine with an output rating of 105 PS. This turbo-charged 1.2-litre four cylinder engine follows the downsizing principle in an extreme form, resulting in maximum power with low fuel consumption and emission values. Its maximum torque output of 175 Nm is available from 1,500 - 4,100 rpm. A brisk performance is achieved via a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG), with the car accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 11.7 seconds and a top speed of 178 km/h. It also has extremely low fuel consumption of 5.9 L/100km in the combined driving cycle, with a CO2 emission value of 139 g/km. Initially I wasn't quite use to it when the top was opened, because the windscreen seemed to become smaller and darkens.. I got used to it! Instead, I enjoyed the feelin' when the soft top was down and simply just enjoy the natural breeze from the outside..
I like how this car brought happiness to the people around me.. So when they got to sit in this Beetle Cabriolet, they got excited and that kinda mood which created happiness is not something you will always get. Furthermore, its a Beetle that is so cute and has a smile at the front! With that said.. I brought my parents, and my nephew and niece out with this Beetle Cabriolet.. With this car.. I can have the top up or down anytime. Enjoy the natural breeze outside. What I like most about this car is front LED lights and the back lamps which are really nice as compared to its predecessor. I also like the power it has when I step on the accelerator. Thanks to the 4-cylinder, TSI petrol engine with 8 valves, turbocharged engine! I can also have an option to switch to Sports mode when I need more power and speed!
Algae-based Omega-3s are a powerful dietary supplement, particularly for vegetarians. Algae are used in wastewater treatment plants to metabolize impurities. They can capture fertilizer in farm runoff, preventing those chemicals from entering rivers and lakes. The algae can then be reused as fertilizer, saving costs for the farmer. Algae farms offset carbon emissions from factories and power-plants. The emissions can be pumped into an algae pond or the algae growth facility can be placed atop a smokestack. The simplest way to grow algae is in an open pond. Although the yield-per-acre for an algae farm is notably higher than corn, soybeans, palm oil or other biofuel sources, the pond method still takes a lot of space. The ponds are also vulnerable to contamination and dependent on sunlight. Algae can be grown in vertical containers exposed to sunlight on two sides. They can be grown in the dark with glycerol as their food.
