* Horsepower and torque expected to top previous model (testing is ongoing — check media.gm.com for updates) * NOx emissions reduced at least 63 percent over 2010 models * Quieter operation * High - pressure (30,000 psi / 2, 000 bar) Piezo - actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency, improved performance and reduced emissions * Exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes * Selective catalytic reduction after - treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection to provide the best overall diesel characteristics and performance — with a range of about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) between DEF refills * Combustion and after - treatment have been optimized to provide about 700 miles (1,125 km) between diesel particulate filter regenerations — a 75 - percent improvement over the previous system and significant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process requires additional fuel * B20 biodiesel capability for an alternative fueling option * Internal revisions that improve durability

The perfect complement is the Audi drive select vehicle dynamics system, which enables the driver to freely vary the throttle response characteristic, the shifting points of the seven - speed S tronic, and the boost provided by the servotronic steering system.

• Variable vehicle set - up using the new Driving Modes option by means of rotary switch at the base of the gearshift or selector lever; in addition to the standard setting MID mode, the modes SPORT and GREEN can be activated; choice of mode influences the characteristic curve of the accelerator and steering, as well as the shift times of the automatic transmission and the Dynamic Damper Control where these features are fitted; GREEN mode in conjunction with automatic transmission enables coasting with decoupled drivetrain.

However, the DYNAMIC SELECT system not only makes it possible to select the suspension characteristics in combination with DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL or AIR BODY CONTROL, it also enables the driver to influence other vehicle settings — such as the throttle response, ECO start / stop function, shift points of the automatic transmission and more.

In order to obtain this power increase the tuner is offering a special PowerConverter that sharpens the electronic gas pedal characteristic curve, causing the heavy vehicle to react even more spontaneously to acceleration commands and enabling powerful acceleration from the very bottom.

The perfect complement is the Audi drive select vehicle dynamics system, which enables the driver to freely vary the throttle response characteristic, the shifting points of the seven - speed S tronic, and the boost provided by the servotronic steering system, which comes standard with power outputs of 140 kW and higher.

The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control) from three settings — Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track)-- to suit his individual preferences.

This latest stage of the car's testing program will enable Kia's 100 - strong Stinger vehicle development team to fine - tune the car's handling in both rear - and all - wheel drive configurations, as well as the characteristics of the various electronic aids on offer to drivers.

These characteristics enable Subaru vehicles to be inherently more responsive, safer and more stable, with quicker handling, flatter cornering and a more planted feel overall.

The driving modes modify the fundamental vehicle performance characteristics including the understeer characteristic and also enable varying emphasis to be placed on aspects such as tire slip and energy efficiency.In this study, control and wheel torque allocation techniques are used to produce three driving modes.
