New Most Powerful Natural Gas Engine and Car From Iran

yawn, car news must be slow today

Iran is developing each day. They already launched a satelite, have their own cars,and now trying to lead the way in CNG. you have to give them credit. No other country in the middle east is developing with no assistance. the arabs get money from everywhere and Israel from the US.

i would never get in one of these.

are you sure this isn't a photoshop job? :)

It's Top Gear Iran

you can't stereotype a whole religion there are psyc people in any religion this is what i believe in

move over ford, gmc, pontiac, buick, saturn, lincoln, dodge, cadillac, mercury, hummer, jeep, honda, nissan, acura, toyota, lexus, infiniti, daewoo, kia, hyundai, vw, bmw, mercedes benz, porsche, opel, fiat, ferrari, alfa romeo, seat, vauxhall, subaru, mitsubishi, mazda, isuzu, volvo, saab, tata (pushing it with this one) etc etc the Samand Soren ELX four-door has arrived...i apologize if i have failed to mention your favorite automotive company

I don't believe how people can easily say something like "Islam's stupid rules..." without any foundations...I can only say: try to be less ignorant before criticizing a whole religion... I am a muslim, however, i came here to talk about cars, not to continue this kind of stupid debates.. So i'm gonna talk about cars: the title says this is the most powerful natural gas engine with 150hp, but i think there was already a special tuned version of the M3 running with natural gas that is way powerful than this car, am i wrong? does anybody have an explanation?

The figures aren't too shabby. I wonder what is it's range on a single tank.

Motor_Yakuza is absolutely hilarious :) Love it

I love how they didn't disclose any info about the car (It's a matter of national dignity)

Engine code:EF7 Turbo Displacement:1700cc 4 valves per cylinder 16 valves in total Max power:156Hp Max torque:210Nm EF7 N/A Compression ratio: 11.1 Max power: 115Hp@6000Rpm Max torque: 155Nm@3000Rpm More info and pics: http://www.tuningtalk.com/forum/elx-t25641-15.html

..wow 1.7 ltr with 156 hp ? woww is that real ? i don't think they can get that kind of power from a cng 1.7 ltr cng engine...Motor_Yakuza, your freaking joke can start a war..so shut the hell up..

Is it nuclear? No offense meant.

now this topic is about a car from Iran, why the hell you mention the religion in your comments?!

I think it's an interesting concept

It has offended me, and I can forget about it, but why do you have to stirr up more and more silly stuff? Some people have got enough reason (or think they have) to hate people and blow people up without an silly person like you making silly racist comments. Don't rock the boat.

This company is kind of good, I drove one of its 206 and now it's making a powerful gas engine...nice!

Lie, many people have converted 4.6L ford engines to CNG or propane and have hit much better figures. Hell we have buses that run on CNG in my city and they get 300hp and 750lbft. Maybe they meant the most powerful production consumer vehicle, by far not the most powerful tuned natural gas, and by far not the most powerful industrial CNG engine.

I thank both of you "Lucifa" & " Motor_Yakuza" for your comment about this sensitive subject. Being a muslim or Christian or a jew or any other religion, there are some political and religious rules about the religion itself let's say politico-religious rules. I am a muslim - and I don't know about you Christians - but in islam It is Prohibited to make a joke about islam at any pattern. Making a joke of something means that you don't - really - respect it. What I want you to know is that the Islam is not only a religion, it is a way of life - if you don't know- . Don't take my words as a complement of the islam. But it teaches you everything. From worship God up to how to clean yourself after you go to the toilet. In Islam it is also Prohibited to make fun of any other religion. Please don't make my speech offensive. But this is what Islam teach us. Al-Salam Alaycom all
