The Volkswagen Golf and VW Polo are to enter the RAC Future Car Challenge, it is the very first of the RAC event, and the challenge will take place on the 6th November 2010. The route the cars will take is from Madeira Drive in Brighton to Pall Mall in London. The winner of the challenge will be the vehicle which uses the least amount of energy.

Along with the Golf and Polo, Volkswagen have entered the prototype Golf Blue-e-Motion, it is an electric vehicle with 115bhp and 199lbs of torque. The power is delivered though an electric motor which is powered by lithium-ion batteries with a total capacity of 26.5 KWh.

Despite its electric power and drive train the Golf Blue-e-Motion can do 0-62mph in 11.8 seconds. The new Golf electric prototype is a good indicator of the future direction of VW’s electric vehicle programme; the first production model is to go on sale in 2013, so this prototype is very close to the real thing.

Competing alongside the Blue-e-Motion are two production models, these two models are amongst the lowest pollution traditional engined cars. The Volkswagen Polo and VW Golf BlueMotion emit just 91 g/km and 99g/km of CO2 respectively.

Based on the figures given by VW the Polo BlueMotion should be able to complete the 57 mile challenge using just 3.21 litres of diesel, in today’s petrol prices that is just £3.78! I am very eager to see the results and if the predicted figures are correct. The Golf Blue-e-Motion will be on sale in 2013 alongside the conventional <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.eurocanterbury.co.uk”> Volkswagen Golf in Kent </a>.

Different Types of Golf GPS Navigation Systems

Golf GPS systems are a fairly new technology that has helped many golfers improve their game. These GPS systems, or global positioning systems are meant to help the golfer judge distance along with a variety of other features. As the technology has become more popular among golfers so has the variety of golf GPS systems available to them. Different golfers want and need different information as they seek to improve their game, so in choosing a golf GPS system, the golfer needs to know exactly what he or she is looking for, while also considering price and convenience in using each type of system.

One type of golf GPS system is a sports watch with GPS capabilities. These watches are very convenient since the golfer does not have to carry around an extra piece of equipment with him or her while on the golf course. These watches are defiantly bigger then a traditional watch and are not recommended for wearing daily, but while on the course they are very functional. They can judge distance and some can even recommend which club to use. These watches are able to gain information about a particular golf course when the owner downloads information from the internet about the course into the watch; this eliminates the need to manually put in all of the information.

Sonocaddie is another type of golf GPS. These handheld devices are able to tell the golfer the distance between him or her and anywhere else on the course. Just like with the watch, these devices allow the person to download golf course information from their computer into the GPS system, making the information very accurate.

Sureshot GPS systems are also very useful particularly for those that like to travel to different countries to play golf. These GPS are capable of working worldwide and measures distance in both meters and yards. They are very portable, making it easy for the golfer to carry it along with him or her as he or she plays golf.

For people who have certain types of cell phones, there is also technology available that allows the person to download golf GPS information directly to their cell phone.

Along with these different types of golf GPS systems, there are others being developed. One type of technology is GPS golf balls. The use of this technology will allow the golfer to locate his or her ball if it is missing and will be able to tell the golfer how far the ball actually traveled.

There are many other types of golf GPS systems available to choose from. The different choices available to golfers interested in this type of technology could easily become overwhelmed as he or she tries to decide which one is the best. The best golf GPS system is the one that gives the individual golfer the information he or she needs and is the most convenient based on individual circumstances and individual person. The GPS sports watch may be perfect for one person, but may actually interfere with another golfer if that person is not used to wearing a watch, especially since this watch is larger then a normal watch.

Some golfers may be very comfortable with technology and would benefit from a golf GPS system with many features and capabilities. Other golfers, who are not as comfortable with technology would probably not benefit from very complicated systems and would prefer a simple model. The technology of any GPS system will not benefit anyone who does not know how to use it and take advantage of the information that comes from it.
