Publisher's Synopsis
Even if you have less experience than a normal driver, you are highly experienced or even a racing driver, I think this book will tell something you don't know, as it is written from the perspective of a young Automotive Engineer. Modern cars are a lot powerful than before, a lot cheaper, a lot safer and a lot easier to drive. Technology has changed a lot in the past few years, allowing engineers to develop new designs, engines and safety systems for cars. What I will cover in the upcoming chapters will be: Modern engine characteristics Modern safety systems How to drive your car economically How to protect your car What you should know about maintenance What you should know before you buy a car Comparisons between Gasoline and Diesel engines What you should know about Power and Torque Differences between naturally aspired, supercharged and turbocharged engines"
