2007 JE DESIGN Audi Q7
True to the motto of “everything or nothing”, the car styling specialist from Leingarten,Germany, customizes the Q7 to create an impressive car. In addition to the muscular wide body kit, which makes this Audi look even more powerful, JE DESIGN is also offering a performance enhancement, new rims and an electronically lowered suspension.
Brute supercharger power with 2.3 tons of unladen weight are not that easy to gloss over. With that much weight, every scrap of power and every Newton meter of torque counts. The basic specifications of the 4.2-litre Audi Q7 do indeed make quite an impressive read. After all, 257 kW / 350 bhp, 440 Nm at 3500 rpm, a top speed of 151 mph and 7.4 seconds for the sprint from 0 – 62 mph are not exactly chicken feed. But JE DESIGN turns the Q7 into real high-flyer, with no less than 500 supercharged horses (368 kW) rearing and bucking under the hood. 600 Nm of torque, available at 3,850 rpm, propel this heavyweight from a standstill to 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. And it does not stop till it reaches an impressive 169 mph. The supercharger conversion includes a water-cooled intercooler, an exhaust system from the manifold, special forged pistons and modified engine management. JE DESIGN also takes care to ensure that the Q7 still complies with the emissions regulations. The conversion also includes TÜV certification.

2005 Thalon Design Ford Mustang GT
The 2005 Mustang is very well designed and appreciated by many and serves as a homage to the old vintage designs of the first Mustangs. It therefore felt natural to build an Eleanor for the 21’st century on the body of this new Mustang.
During the winter of 2004 the design process started, first as a clay sculpt and then refined in a 3d program. Images were printed out in full scale to be used as reference for the sculpting team.
Just a few months later the car was unveiled for the first time at one of Scandinavia’s greatest car shows.

Introduction To Chassis Design
The automotive chassis is tasked with holding all the components together while driving,and transfering vertical and lateral loads, caused by accelerations, on the chassis through the suspension and two the wheels. Most engineering students will have an understanding of forces and torques long before they read this. It is suggested that the reader has a good understanding of the concepts of axial forces, shear forces, bending, torsion, angular and normal deflections, and finally mass moment of inertia. The key to good chassis design is that the further mass is away from the neutral axis the more ridgid it will be.

The Audi allroad quattro with additional shift stage Design and Function
After a 20 year history of four-wheel drive, Audi presents the allroad quattro. For the first time, a production model with off-road capability. The Audi allroad quattro is the synthesis of the classic estate and the traditional off-road vehicle. It combines the outstanding driving dynamics of the Audi A6 with the off-road capability of a four-wheel drive. Featuring the proven quattro drive, the improved running gear with ”4-level air suspension”, the optional ”low range” additional shift stage and the changes to the bodywork and the interior, the Audi allroad quattro combines two previously separate vehicle categories thereby offering ”the best of both worlds”.
