One of the most interesting in this edition of Goowood, which begins Thursday, will be the Jaguar F-Type, the new sport of the British company to be presented to the public for the first time in prototype form.
The Jaguar F-Type will go on sale in mid-2013 as a roadster, smaller than the XK. A little further awaiting the arrival of the coupe. It is a lightweight sports car with its body made entirely of aluminum and will have as main objective to provide a high driving pleasure.
Little is known about the mechanics that will push this new model Jaguar. The manufacturer has indicated that only the F-Type will have two options mechanics passing a supercharged V6 and V8. The most powerful version exceed half miles of horse surely as Jaguar and uses a supercharged V8 in one of its models, a 5.0-liter with two power levels: 510 hp and 550 hp.
Adrian Hallmark, Managing Director of Jaguar Cars, commented that "the race at Goodwood Festival of Speed, in addition to turning around its iconic hill, allows the public to see, hear and smell the cars, so thats why it we chose as the best place to show for the first time the Jaguar F-Type prototype.

Tata Pixel to be unveiled at Geneva Show
Tata Motors unveiled the new Pixel concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The PIXEL will be powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder diesel engine. With clever technology, the city car will have class leading turning circle radius.
This car which is at its premature stage will be primarily made for the European market. It features three Gull winged doors (doors which open in the direction of the sky) and is built on the Nano base which means it’s around 3 meter but comes with better equipped and large interiors keeping in mind the European market. The unveiling will be done by Chairman Mr Ratan Tata.
Press Release
The Tata Pixel, a new city car concept for Europe
- Most package efficient four-seater in the world
- Zero turn drive maximizes manoeuvrability when parking
- Innovative scissor door system allows entry and exit in the tightest of spaces
- CO2 emissions of just 89 gm/km and combined cycle fuel economy of 3.4 litres/100km
The Tata Pixel, with Zero Turn drive and an innovative diamond-shaped door system, is a new city car concept for Europe from Tata Motors. Based on the Tata Nano, the Pixel - at just over three metres in length - is the most package efficient four-seater in the world, comfortably accommodating four adults, unlike a typical city car which is either a two-seater or can accommodate two adults and two children only.
The Tata Pixels ability to manoeuvre and park in the tightest of spaces is made possible by its Zero Turn toroidal traction-drive Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). This highly efficient, cost-effective system assists rotation of the outer rear wheel forwards and the inner rear wheel backwards during low-speed manoeuvres, while the front wheels turn at acute angles. The result is a turning circle radius of just 2.6 metres. The glass area on the scissor doors provides excellent visibility even in the most extreme turning manoeuvre.
The scissor doors rotate upwards from the front to allow all four passengers to effortlessly enter or exit the Tata Pixel, even in the tightest of spaces, while the doors large glass area provides excellent visibility.
A forward sweeping roofline, with minimal front and rear overhangs, accentuates the youthful styling, while the window graphic features an interchangeable island that can be used to change the exterior appearance whenever desired.
The Tata Pixel also introduces My Tata Connect -- the first integrated human-machine interface (HMI) concept from Tata Motors for its new generation programmes. My Tata Connect enables seamless integration of the users smartphone or tablet with the vehicles infotainment system and also allows controlling key functions of the car. This provides a customised, user friendly, all-in-one touch screen display, while also allowing the driver to remain seamlessly connected to the external world in much the same way as they would be when at home or in the office, listening to favourite songs, internet news and sport or stock updates. In addition to serving as the infotainment display when docked in the instrument panel, the tablet also allows temperature, ventilation and air-conditioning settings to be adjusted through its touch screen, as well as displaying information on the vehicles performance.
A 1.2 litre three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, positioned at the rear of the Tata Pixel, gives lively performance. The engine is a low-friction design, featuring variable coolant and oil pump and rapid warm-up technologies. With optimised aerodynamic drag, low rolling-resistance tyres, stop-start technology, and intelligent battery charging, the Tata Pixel returns European combined cycle (NEDC) fuel economy of 3.4 l/100km and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Carl-Peter Forster, Managing Director and Group CEO of Tata Motors, said, "Tata Motors holds true to its belief that there is an opportunity in Europe for a city car, which is optimal in space, manoeuvrability and environment-friendliness. The Tata Pixel is a reflection of Tata Motors idea of what such a car should be."

Taking its pursuit of electric vehicles forward, Tata Motors is also displaying the Tata Indica Vista Electric Vehicle at the Motor Shows Green Pavillion. The Tata Indica Vista EV will be made available to fleet customers this summer in the UK. The four-seater family car has a predicted range of up to 160 km.
The Tata Indica Vista EV bagged two trophies for its performance at the Royal Automobile Clubs Brighton-to-London Future Car Challenge. A special version, the Tata Indica Vista EVX, participated in the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize contest, one of the worlds most prestigious events for environment-friendly vehicles.
The companys displays also include the Tata Aria, the first Indian four-wheel drive crossover, which was launched in India recently to rave reviews, the Tata Indigo Manza, among Indias best selling sedans scheduled for launch this year in select countries, and the Tata Indica Vista, a top selling hatch already launched in select geographies. In Europe, the Indica Vista has already been introduced in Poland and Italy, and is planned for launch in Spain. The Tata Aria too will be launched, further enhancing the companys portfolio in these markets.

How to Add Automatic Transmission Fluid at an Oil Change
1. Drive the vehicle for ten minutes and then place it in park on a level area. Check the automatic transmission fluid prior to completing the oil change since its best to check and add transmission fluid at operating temperature.
2. Locate the reservoir and dipstick labeled ATF. It will be found opposite of the regular motor oil, on the driver side of the vehicle and is colored red.
3. Remove the dipstick from the reservoir and wipe it clean with a rag. Replace the dipstick completely and remove it once more. This will give you an accurate reading of the transmission fluid. If the measurement reads full do not add any fluid at this time as over filling can cause damage to the transmission. If the measurement reads between the full and add lines or below the add lines, then add fluid.
4. Place a funnel into the reservoir neck where the dipstick normally sits. Pour a small amount of transmission fluid into the reservoir and allow it to funnel down completely. Check the transmission fluid levels again by removing the funnel and replacing the dipstick completely.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the measurement. Add more fluid, if needed. Continue this process until the measurement reads full. Once finished, proceed to the oil change, as the components and oil will now be cool enough to complete the oil change.
