Tahoe also has details such as spray expanding foam, which helps to reduce noise, filling the space to remove the paths of sound. Foam, which is found primarily in the A-pillars, expands to fill the space. Quietness and smoothness is complemented Tahoe Autoride suspension, which is standard on LTZ. This segment-exclusive bi-state, real-time damping provides a tour of highly refined body movement significantly reduced. The system consists of semi-active control of two-position damping control, which responds in real time to road and driving conditions based on body and wheel motion sensors.
Tranquility and flow properties Tahoe full-size SUV customers completely depend. Tahoe offers up to 7700 pounds (3492 kg) towing capability (4WD models).
Increased efficiency of
A new Gen IV small-block V-8 family - the latest chapter 50, the small-block history - offers more power than comparable powertrains in previous models. The fuel economy of movement in demand technology also enables better fuel economy. When combined with other features of the entire vehicle, including improved aerodynamics, the small block V-8 helps give the Tahoe the segment-leading fuel economy. Preliminary tests with models equipped with 5.3 shows adjusted combined fuel consumption ratings of 20.5 mpg with 2WD models and 20.1 mpg in 4WD models. This is a better fuel economy than any other full-size SUV.
New engine choices allow consumers to choose the level of performance that meets your needs. A Vortec 5.3L V-8 with 320 horsepower (238 kW) and 335 lb.-ft. of torque (463 Nm) offers fuel economy of movement in demand for technology is standard at start of production. A 4.8L Vortec V-8 will be available later and will be standard on Tahoe 2WD models.
"The economics of the new Tahoe is tremendous," said Gary White, GM North America vice president and vehicle line of full size vans. "It not only provides better fuel economy than some smaller vehicles, it does so with full design capacity of a full-size SUV. This means you can tow a boat to his favorite lake for the weekend and bring children to school during the week without having to worry about - this is another personality trait Tahoe to do anything. "

OnStar also can assist authorities in locating a vehicle if it is reported stolen (ability to locate stolen vehicles varies with conditions).
2007 Tahoe is built at Arlington Assembly, in Arlington, Texas, and is available in the first quarter of 2006.
Chevrolet Corvette C1 is a sports car produced from 1953 to 1962. This is the first generation of Chevrolet Corvettes built and marketed by Chevrolet.
Design
Although the style of a car can be as important to some as to how the car, the car manufacturers have started to pay attention to car designs until the 1920s. It was not until 1927, when General Motors hired designer Harley Earl, the car's style and design has become important for U.S. manufacturers. What Henry Ford did for automobile manufacturing principles, Harley Earl did for car design. GM's most extravagant "Dream Car" drawings of the 1950s are directly attributable to Earl, leading one journalist to comment that the designs were "the American psyche made visible." Harley Earl loved sports cars, and soldiers returning from overseas service in World War II brought home MGS, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and others. Earl convinced GM that needs to build a sporty two-seater. The result was the 1953 Corvette, unveiled to the public at the Motorama car show this year.
The original Corvette emblem incorporated an American flag in its design, it was later abandoned when connecting the flag with a product that has been deprecated.
Taking its name from the corvette, a frigate combat small manageable (the credit for the nomination goes to Myron Scott), the first Corvettes were virtually hand-made in Flint, Michigan in Chevrolet Customer Delivery Center, now is a building University Kettering University. The outer body was made of a material called fiberglass revolutionary new compound, selected in part because of steel quotas left by the war. In this radical new body were standard Chevrolet components, including engine line "Blue Flame" six-cylinder truck, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, drum brakes and regular Chevrolet car line. Despite the engine's power is increased somewhat, thanks to a triple-carburetor intake exclusive to the Corvette, the car's performance was decidedly mediocre.
GM is seriously considering the project aside, leaving the Corvette to be little more than a footnote in automotive history, and would have done if there were two events. The first was the introduction in 1955 of Chevrolet V8 first motor (265 in ³ {4.3 L}) since 1919, and the second was the influence of a Soviet émigré in GM's engineering department, Zora Arkus-Duntov. Arkus-Duntov simply took the new V8 and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. This modification, probably the largest in automotive history, helped turn the Corvette from a two-seat curiosity into a genuine artist. He also earned Arkus-Duntov the rather inaccurate nickname "Father of the Corvette."
The first generation is commonly called a solid axle, based on the fact that independent rear suspension (IRS) was not available before 1963.
The fuel injection
The first generation began in 1953 and completed in 1962, an addition worthy of note for the optional fuel injection in 1957. This is a new air intake system first saw regular use of gasoline engine two years prior to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster "Gullwing". Although the Corvette GM-Rochester fuel system is used for continuous system fuel of style, unlike diesel nozzle style measurement system is the Mercedes' six cylinders, the system nevertheless produced about 290HP. The number was reduced to advertising for Chevrolet 283HP/283 in ³ (4.6 L) HP ³ a year with the slogan, and it is one of the first mass-produced engines in history to reach 1 hp / in ³. In 1962, the GM Small-Block was extended to 327 in ³ (5.4 L) and produced a maximum of 360 hp (268 kW). Other options include power windows soon (1956), the hydraulically operated retractable roof (1956), four-speed manual (mid 1957), and heavy duty brakes and suspension options (1957).
Compared with British sports cars and Italian for the day was low-powered Corvette, required a great effort as well as open the door to get him to stop, and even missed a transmission "good" book. Until then, the Chevrolet division of GM entry-level brand, known for excellent cars, but no frills. Nowhere more evident than in the Corvette. A compressor Paxton became available in 1954 as a dealer-installed option, greatly improving the Corvette in a straight line performance, but sales continued to fall.
The car was produced to celebrate 100 years, meeting the businessman Charles Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce engineer. The numbers speak for themselves, but to get a better idea of the size of the car in solid silver Spirit of Ecstasy is seven feet (2.1 m) from the driver. The outputs of the engine are not specified by the company, but the motoring press estimate about 700 hp (520 kW) and 700 lb.-ft. (950 Nm) of torque is close to the actual figures.
Much has been made to its unveiling of a production version, but Rolls-Royce said they will not produce. But the car was very easy to put into production as the work pieces. The company would not be profitable with the current Phantom sedan, and this model will help ensure the viability of the brand. This car has replaced the defunct Corniche (2000 - 2002), as was the same type of car and target the same market.
However, by 2005 it was confirmed that two-door four-seater convertible inspired by the 100EX and codenamed RR02, will enter production in 2007. Be slightly smaller than the 100EX. Power will come from the 6, 75 liters V12 engine, the new model will share with the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
9.0 liter V16 engine 64 valves
A 6-speed automatic
Dimensions: height 1,561 mm, width 1,990 mm and a length of 5669 mm.
The result was the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Built on a new state-of-the-art factory in Goodwood, this flagship Rolls-Royce secured its revival by combining the spirit of his ancestors celebrated with advanced technology and technology visionary.
Design
Creating a strong identity for the Rolls-Royce Phantom was important, says chief designer Ian Cameron: "Our priority was to create a car that was obviously a Rolls-Royce from any angle, even if the Spirit of Ecstasy and the grid could not be famous to be seen. "
To identify this core essence, the design team immersed themselves in the brand and its history. It highlighted the elements of classic style, a long bonnet, wide C-pillars and discrete windows, all of which were incorporated into the design of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Its powerful, permanent and dynamic, rising profile also unmistakable Rolls-Royce.
However, advanced features like an aluminum frame and single motor gasoline direct injection pioneered leave no doubt that this is a car in the forefront of technology.
A feature of Rolls-Royce Phantom, and in particular how the most advanced technology combines with traditional crafts by hand to produce something extraordinary. Switches, power windows and audio system are beautifully crafted 'violin keys', while Chrome vents operated by "organ stop" traditional. In conjunction with the use of best leathers and wood veneers, it is this fusion high technology and craftsmanship that gives the interior its unique and luxurious feeling.
Engineering
The essence of Rolls-Royce Phantom is a sophisticated, lightweight aluminum space frame - a single platform and advanced specifically designed by the team of engineers from Rolls-Royce experience to provide a refined and implemented to drive.
Built from more than 200 three-dimensional box of aluminum profile extrusion blown Rolls-Royce Phantom is the rigidity of a
Formula 1 car. Entirely by hand, using about 120 meters of welding, the frame is finished as if it were a precision instrument: Each is controlled by laser to ensure accuracy in a fraction of a millimeter. The frame is placed on a platform of computer-guided machine - the largest car industry - at the critical points are machined with unprecedented accuracy.
Without the need to provide structural support, the panels of Rolls-Royce Phantom bodies are simply placed on the chassis.
Made of lightweight aluminum and composite materials, which adds a minimum weight of the car. Only the boot is made of steel, designed to facilitate 50/50 weight distribution so desirable for perfect handling.
Rolls-Royce Phantom is a lightweight and rigid provides the basis for the extraordinary dynamic capability. This is an excellent handling - enthusiastic drivers will appreciate the precision with which can be placed on the road - but not at the expense of travel that is as quiet and comfortable as you might expect, the Rolls-Royce. Space Frame also helps to eliminate noise, vibration and harshness, to promote the tremendous calmness and tranquility of the Rolls-Royce Phantom interior.
The extraordinary integrity of the spatial structure of aluminum also offers significant advantages of security, which provide excellent occupant protection. But this is not the only area where safety is integrated into the design of Rolls-Royce Phantom. The location of the rear seat behind the pillar C, for example, is inherently safer than the traditional position next to the door and deny the need for rear side airbags. In a collision, so the effect is progressively absorbed by crumple zones designed to dissipate the force through the chassis and underbody. Of course, Rolls-Royce Phantom has been designed to pass all current safety laws.In addition, Rolls-Royce Phantom contains a number of safety systems using the latest technology and to guide the
Intelligent Safety and Information System (ISIS). ISIS takes readings from sensors located in different parts of the car, and the event of a collision, will make up to 4000 calculations, the second to establish its severity, and before the use of airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners, or necessary . ISIS works in conjunction with other security systems installed by Rolls-Royce Phantom, including Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control.
Conduct
In the heart of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is the 6.75-liter naturally aspirated V12. Designed specifically for the Rolls-Royce Phantom and hand assembled by Rolls-Royce technicians, this sophisticated engine develops a massive 720 lbs-ft of torque, 413 lb-ft available at 1,000 rpm. On the road that leads to an instantaneous power, muscular, bearing the Rolls-Royce Phantom from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds. Maximize traction extraordinary Rolls-Royce Phantom V12, a six-speed transmission with automatic electronic control helps to achieve a transparent and effortless progress for which Rolls-Royce is famous.
Rolls-Royce Phantom offers a unique passenger experience, but many owners have suggested that the best place to sit behind the wheel. The view from the driver's seat is elevated along the bottom of the field hat Spirit of Ecstasy is the most inspiring in motor sport, while beautifully crafted, thin steering wheel rim is a pleasure to hold and provides immediate feedback on the wheels. Despite its size, Rolls-Royce Phantom excellent dynamics and are easy to precisely position when cornering. Intoxicating and yet extremely relaxing, it offers a driving experience of purity and precision.
The exterior finish

Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Step
In 2005, the ghost was joined by a longer model, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase, which provides additional space for rear passengers while maintaining the beauty of the standard Phantom and his class of first driving performance and comfort of each of the four occupants.
To create the Phantom Extended Wheelbase, was an additional 250 mm added to the back seat behind the B-pillars. The extra length is achieved simply by using longer overhangs in the construction of the space frame, which was developed specifically to allow long wheelbase models. Consequently, no torque loss, Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase retains not only the powerful look of the standard car, but its outstanding performance and refined driving dynamics. The only major need for new parts is a new aluminum roof and door panels - and thanks to Goodwood flexible production processes extended wheelbase Phantom will be built next to the Rolls-Royce Phantom without problems.
