THE BRAND NEW COLORADO 2017 MODEL HAS NOW ARRIVED...
Rugged on the outside, Refined on the
inside.....Ready for off road and urban
adventures.
It’s time to re-think what you know about
trucks. Yes, Colorado gives you all the power
and performance of a rugged truck, but now
it’s more refined than you’d ever expect. Under
the bonnet, the Duramax diesel engine is tough
and yet surprisingly quiet, even when working
hard. No matter where your Colorado takes you,
it’s good to know safety is its top priority. Some
of the more advanced safety features are the
Forward Collision Alert with Head Up Warning &
Lane Departure Warning that are available on
selected models. Whilst the Trailer Sway Control
helps keep you safe for when you’re towing a
3.5 tonne load. For more information contact:

Honda Australia Director, Mr. Stephen Collins,
said the NSX would play an important role as a
halocar for thebrand. “Weexpect theNSX tobe
a very exclusive car and as a technology and
design statement, it represents the pinnacle
of Honda automotive expertise,” Mr. Collins
said. “It’s already gained rave reviews in other
markets, providing exhilarating performance,
handling and luxury in a supercar.”
The two-seater NSX is packed with the
latest hybrid and petrol engine technologies
and is built from a multi-material space frame,
featuring extensive use of aluminum. Inside
is a luxurious leather and alcantara interior,
hip-hugging sports seats and driver-oriented
cockpit controls designed to minimise
potential distractions. The airy cabin is both
functional and designed to ‘wrap’ around the
driver and passenger.
Powering the NSX is a 3.5-litre twin turbo V6
combined with a Direct Drive Motor and two
parallel high-performance electric motors
in the front, which provide instant torque.
The longitudinally mounted, twin-turbo,
six-cylinder DOHC engine is rear mounted,
combined with dual clutch transmission
(DCT) and nine speed gearbox, developed
specifically for the NSX. The combined output
of the 3.5-litre twin turbo V6 engine and hybrid
motors is estimated to be more than 425 kW.
At the rear, the Direct Drive Motor is
housed between the engine and gearbox and
enhances performance during acceleration,
brakingandgear changes. Inaddition, the front
wheels of the NSX are powered independently
by two parallel high-performance electric
motors. Combined, the engines provide all-
wheel grip.
