Airlift Suspension System for Porsche 911 and Audi R8

2009-01-25T06:38:00.000-08:00

If you've ever driven a lowered sports car - or any lowered car for that matter- then at some point you will have definitely faced a problem 'negotiating' obstacles such as car park ramps, speed humps, high curbs etc. Cargraphic, a specialized Porsche tuner, has come up with a solution for this problem in the form of the "Airlift Suspension System". Available for the Porsche 996/997 and in the near future, the Audi R8, patented automatic level control system enables the car's front suspension to rise by 55mm.

As with other systems of this sort, the "Airlift Suspension" will automatically lower the car back down to normal ride height once it has reached a speed of 50 km/h (31mph).

However, one unique feature of the suspension system is that in the Porsche 911, it can work with the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management). The Cargraphic Airlift Suspension is available in 2 versions, a complete kit that includes BILSTEIN B16 suspension or as an upgrade kit for OE coil over suspensions

Goldish &Chrome Mercedes C63 AMG

2009-01-25T06:12:00.000-08:00

Slathering a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG in a goldish-chrome finish is one way of telling the world that a- you do have a lot of ~~petrol~~ spending money, and b- your taste buds are as dead as a dodo bird. Of course, it does not take a rocket scientist to guess the origin of this one-of-a-kind Merc – and yes, it’s Dubai, the world’s capitol of bling-bling. In particular, the chrome-finished C63 AMG saloon was spotted outside one of the world's largest shopping centers, the Mall of the Emirates.

Ferrari California 2009

2009-01-23T11:03:00.000-08:00

Already the source of hot debate thanks to its styling, the Ferrari California, the latest Prancing Horse from Maranello, is an open-top Grand Tourer designed to attract buyers who may not have considered a Ferrari in the past.

While the California features four seats in a 2+2 arrangement, a folding hardtop, and a pass-through for long items when the rear seats are folded, the new Ferrari hasn't forgotten its roots.

Built on a platform shared with the popular Maserati GranTurismo, the California features a multilink suspension in the rear instead of the double-wishbone setup more common to Ferraris.

Under the hood, Ferrari's first-ever direct-injected engine, a 4.3L V-8, punches out 460 hp, hustling the car to 62 mph in under 4 sec, according to Ferrari.

Bringing the power to the ground is another Ferrari first, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that borrows the 599 GTB Fiorano's F1-Trac traction-control system, but is expected to provide a smoother ride than Ferrari's F1-inspired paddle-shift gearbox found in the F430.

Bringing the ride to a halt are carbon-ceramic disc brakes clamped by Brembo calipers. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but is expected to be north of the F430's $210,000 price tag.

Suzuki Kizashi Sedan Spyshots Ahead of Uncovered

2009-01-23T10:56:00.000-08:00

Suzuki’s upcoming competitor in the ferocious mid-size sedan segment, the Kizashi, has been spotted by our spy shooters yet again, this time revealing the car almost entirely.

Camouflage that amounts to little more than extensive decal work is all that stands between us and the final Suzuki product, a tallish, yet forward looking car that will need every advantage to bring the fight to entrenched competition from the likes of Honda and Toyota.

A crossover version of the Kizashi, as well as a station wagon variant, is apparently in the works for the newest Suzuki lineup—both previewed by concept versions of the car over the last two years.

The engine range should be headed up by a 3.6-liter V-6 making roughly 300 horsepower and likely available with four-wheel-drive as an option—this is a Suzuki after all.

There should also be a 150 horsepower 2.5-liter four that will most likely be responsible for the bulk of model sales. Read the shooter’s comments below.

We have seen spy shots of Suzuki’s first mid-size sedan, the Kizashi, before but these are the best shots of that car so far.

We managed to snap this prototype wearing only light camouflage while testing in Germany earlier this week. Well, it’s almost completely without camouflage.

With several previews in the last 12 months, this is the closest one to production. Later a CUV and a wagon will follow. The CUV and the wagon have also been previewed as concepts and are official announced by Suzuki.

Engine line-up will be topped by a 3.6 liter V6 with about 300 horsepower, maybe even with optional four-wheel drive, while the volume seller probably will be the 2.5 liter, 150 horsepower strong four-cylinder engine.

Brabus SLR McLaren at Essen Motor Show 2007

2009-01-23T10:50:00.000-08:00

ESSEN, Germany — Brabus caps its display at 2007 Essen Auto Show with a new take on the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roadster.

This super SLR McLaren is under Brabus' typical fashion, upgrading with new camshafts of its 5.5-liter V8, along side with a fuel cooling system and a high-performance exhaust system. And output climbs to 650 horsepower.

Coupled with a clutch-type limited-slip differential to enhance traction, the Brabus SLR roadster rockets from rest to 60 in less than 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 209 mph.

An aero body kit includes a carbon-fiber front spoiler and rear diffuser. Brabus fits its Monoblock VI multipiece wheels, shod with 255/30ZR20 tires in front and 305/25ZR20s in the rear.

Customers can choose from Pirelli and Yokohama performance rubber.

Interior upgrades of Brabus SLR McLaren include hand-crafted leather upholstery and unique waffle-pattern leather carpeting, as well as carbon-fiber accents.

2010 Ford Fusion (American model)

2009-01-18T03:42:00.000-08:00

The Ford Fusion U.S. (nothing to do with Europe) is a mid-size sedan that despite not having great cons, not too stressed from the rest.

Now it seems that the blue oval has taken good note of what that great are being sold models equipped with the latest technologies (SYNC, for example), and for the review of 2010 plans to integrate a superpantalla 8.5-inch, possibly the same one that drives the new F-150. Truly wild for a vehicle in its class. Apart from that everything remains the same, and in fact the only change is the dashboard quoted in the relocation of the air conditioning controls immediately below the browser.

Suzuki Alto share with Nissan

Adorable and efficient are two words that serve to define the new Suzuki Alto. Also desirable and profitable use. Nissan plans to fill the gaps in its catalog with the help they need, and for that reason, has decided to dip into the newest of Suzuki, which will sell under its brand name with a new and perhaps some design changes. Paragraph mechanic, in theory, will remain unchanged, using a block of 1.0 extremely frugal.

Although by the time Nissan has not wanted to move his name nor appears that we will see the first photos to the Hall of Paris, everything suggests that the similarities with the High will be important. In any case both will be in the city of lights this November, and take for granted that you can not escape our goals.

Pre-Paris Salon: Suzuki Alto

Suzuki has today released the first pictures of its new Suzuki Alto, deseeded beginning to the new books for the Hall of Paris with a couple of months in advance. Little is known so far about the new generation of the model, except that seemingly has been designed with the Indian market in mind, where Suzuki has a major presence by collaborating with local manufacturer Maruti. In Europe, this versatile as coquettish as tiny will be marketed from the spring of 2009.

Paris Salon: Nissan and Suzuki Alto Pixo

No, we have not finished yet with the Hall of Paris, still has a few firsts for us to talk. This year the French sample has been loaded to bursting with interesting models such as Nissan Pixo and the new Suzuki Alto. If you have not been attentive to the news of recent days, you may be wondering how it is that we are talking about both in the same article, either because it is essentially the same car.

High and Suzuki Alto Pixo shared chassis, engines and internal components, differing only in the front of the body, to the extent that they are nearly indistinguishable seen from behind. Its production will be carried out in India, one of its markets "target" par excellence. Only this detail should tell us everything we need to know about both models: small engine (1.0 liters and 65 hp), consumption and a very low grades compared with just enough references in the segment.

Probably the most graceful of the two is the High, with a considerably more attractive design. The Suzuki Alto Pixo, meanwhile, presents an extremely insulso style and lacking in imagination, more of the models from India that the studies of Japanese design (in fact we will not be surprised if it were a local development). The sensations are transmitted by the carrier fully correspond with the outside, through the use of hard plastics everywhere and some elements of cut little refining (the aerators not closed either side, for example) that otherwise do not get a cab pretty detracting given its broad dimensions. Neither High nor Suzuki Alto Pixo, however, are models that sell for aesthetics, but because of a price-quality relationship is anticipated that really balanced.

New Suzuki Grand Vitara GT Pack

We have mentioned many times that the segment of the terrain and all road are full now, not only in European markets, but also in Latin America, Asia and even Africa.

The models are the most successful SUV, vehicles more suitable for the road to the area, the style of the Chevrolet Captiva, BMW X3 or Hyundai Tucson. Instead, the real all-terrain kept its sales and in some cases, decrease, except for the Suzuki Grand Vitara, an all-terrain looking SUV.

To further increase these sales and a more youthful and fun, launches the European market a package called GT, which includes roof bars in black, steps in tractors moldings and contours of the bodywork and alloy wheels.

In addition, paragolpes debuts later with a double chrome exhaust outlet, a small spoiler on the tailgate and the moons are tinted. For now, the price for the Spanish market this kit you know but in other European countries is available for 1,500 €.

2010 Ford Shelby GT500

2009-01-02T17:38:00.000-08:00

The famous Cobra badge has returned on the latest generation Ford Mustang that was revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year. The new Shelby GT500 that will be available in both coupe and convertible versions will make its world debut at the Detroit show later this month with sales following in

spring 2009. Upgrades over the standard Mustang include an aggressive bodykit, retuned sports suspension and of course, a more powerful 5.4-liter supercharged V8 that delivers 40HP more than before for a total output of 540HP and 510 foot-pounds of torque.

Ford also lamely supports that the new GT500 will "provide better highway fuel efficiency" - as if anyone who buys a 540HP supercharged muscle car cares about what he will pay at the gas pump...

Apart from the revised 5.4L V8, Ford engineers have also upgraded the twin-disc clutch on the six-speed manual transmission while the discs on the 2010 Shelby GT500 are larger – 250 mm in diameter compared with 215 mm in diameter on the outgoing model – and made of copper and fiberglass to make them more robust.

In terms of driving dynamics, spring and dampers have been optimized for better roll control while the coupe sits on new 19-inch Goodyear F1 Supercar tires and forged aluminum wheels ( 18s on the convertible).

"We're proud of the many enhancements that were developed jointly by the Ford and Shelby Automobiles team last year that we've now incorporated into the new 2010 Shelby GT500," said Carroll Shelby, founder of Shelby Automobiles. "Building on what we learned to create the Shelby GT500KR, this new car offers a great combination of power, handling and braking. It is truly a special car that is a great deal of fun to drive."

2010 Zenvo ST1

2009-01-02T03:29:00.000-08:00

Brand New Supercar From Denmark - Zenvo ST1

Fledgling Danish supercar manufacturer Zenvo has just released the first official images and final details for the ST1, a brand new supercar from a brand new manufacturer that will join the ranks of the automotive world's elite should it make its production date of early next year. The Zenvo ST1, on paper, looks to compete with the likes of Pagani, Koenigsegg, SSC and Bugatti for the fastest and meanest cars in the world. Probably most expensive as well, though no base price information has been released as of yet.

Zenvo ST1 Design - Wholly Original Supercar, Familiar Elements

The Zenvo ST1 exterior design works from nearly every angle, and apes notable features from everything from the Lamborghini Gallardo to the Nissan GT-R, to the Porsche Carerra GT. Though some ST1 details are familiar, the Danish supercar as a total package manages to avoid looking like a who's-who mashup.

Zenvo designed the car in-house, and its big gaping front air vents draw the eye over the tight, taught bodywork. Though obvious Lamborghini comparisons are made when speaking of the front end, the ST1 has softer body corners leading along the main body line toward the rear, keeping it original.

The outleted hood and rear C-pillar line, with the wraparound rear spoiler, calls to mind the new Lotus Evora. And, of course, the air intake grills just aft of the front wheels are a clear reference to the Nissan GT-R.

When all is said and done, though, the design works very well and befits a supercar with more than 1,100 horsepower. Zenvo will surely win some design awards for the 2010 ST1, should this beautiful beast make its production date of early next year, as promised.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia

2008-12-30T11:34:00.000-08:00

Making the world’s best sports cars even faster, more powerful and more individual is the specialty of NOVITEC ROSSO. The world’s leading tuner for the cars from Maranello now also offers a sophisticated tuning program for the new lightweight-design model Ferrari 430 Scuderia. At the heart is the NOVITEC ROSSO Supersport Bi-Kompressor engine that bumps power output from standard 510 hp / 375 kW to 717 hp / 527 kW and increases top speed from 320 to 348 km/h.

There is no such thing as a too powerful sports car. The NOVITEC ROSSO specialists have developed a special twin-supercharger version of the Scuderia’s four-valve eight-cylinder engine.

Each cylinder bank is equipped with its own toothed belt driven high-performance mechanical supercharger and a generously dimensioned water-cooled intercooler. Boost pressure of the superchargers is limited to 0.48 bar. A newly designed heat-insulated intake manifold with larger ports provides the engine with pre-compressed air. Two high-performance air filters and eight larger injectors complete the engine conversion on the intake side.

The perfect interaction of all NOVITEC ROSSO performance components is coordinated by a newly programmed engine management system. This benefits perfect running smoothness as well as maximum power output and unquestionable durability.
The conversion further includes higher-capacity coolant systems for water and oil plus additional dedicated coolant cycles for both compressors and intercoolers.

The elaborate NOVITEC ROSSO Supersport Bi-Kompressor conversion is also available for all other Ferrari F430 Berlinetta models and costs 47,000 Euros. It delivers performance that sets it apart even from other super sports cars.
717 hp / 527 kW at 8,350 rpm represent an increase in maximum power output of 207 hp / 152.3 kW over the production car. Simultaneously peak torque grows from standard 470 Nm to 722 Nm at 6,250 rpm.

Performance of the Scuderia benefits accordingly: The tuned Scuderia sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaches 200 km/h after just 10.1 seconds. Only 26.1 seconds pass before the two-seater reaches a speed of 300 km/h. But
the NOVITEC ROSSO Bi-Kompressor also improves performance beyond those speeds: Equipped with optionally available longer gear ratios top speed increases to 348 km/h.

The custom-tailored NOVITEC ROSSO tire/wheel combination for the Ferrari offers more striking looks and further improved driving dynamics. The stock Scuderia comes with 19-inch wheels while the tuner offers three-piece 20-inch wheels for this car.
The NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 double-spoke wheels were designed to in effect widen the Ferrari’s track thus allowing even higher cornering speeds. They are mounted in size 8.5Jx20 in front and in size 12Jx20 on the rear axle. Technology partner PIRELLI provides custom-tailored high-performance tires in size 235/30 ZR 20 in front and in size 325/25 ZR 20 in the rear.

NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs further lower the center of gravity and also contribute to optimized handling characteristics. The tuner further offers a suspension feature for the Scuderia that optimizes its suitability for everyday use. The innovative hydraulic lift system for the front axle can be activated with a switch in the interior. With seconds the front is raised by 40 millimeters, making entering underground parking garages or driving over low curbs or speed bumps much easier. Upon a second push of the button or automatically when reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the front reverts to its original position.

NOVITEC ROSSO refines the exterior of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia with discrete components such as black tail lights, lateral turn signals and reflectors.

NOVITEC ROSSO also offers exclusive and functional details for the interior of the lightweight-design Ferrari. The NOVITEC ROSSO sport steering wheel with its leather/carbon-fiber material combination features a flattened bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle while its ergonomically correct shape provides optimal grip. The carbon-fiber NOVITEC ROSSO shift paddles are longer than their production counterparts and make manual gearshifts of the F1-SuperFast2 transmission even easier.

Lamborghini Reventon

2008-12-30T11:25:00.000-08:00

Clearly a Lamborghini, but nothing quite like it. A super car without equals: the Lamborghini Reventón is a road vehicle with an extreme specification and, at the same time, a limited edition masterpiece - a coherent style, angular with sharp lines, inspired by the very latest aeronautics.

With just 20 produced, each 1 Million Euro (without taxes) Lamborghini Reventón is a symbol of extreme exclusivity, yet still offering the extraordinary performance that makes the Reventón so unrivalled: under the completely autonomous design, the Reventón possesses the entire technical and dynamic competence of the twelve cylinder Lamborghini.

Lamborghini prides itself on being the extraordinary manufacturer of extreme super sports cars without compromise. Sensuality and provocation characterise every Lamborghini, with an aggressively innovative style. "However, the Reventón is the most extreme of all, a true automotive superlative. Our designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre took the technical base of the Murciélago LP640 and compressed and intensified its DNA, its genetic code," affirms Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

Born in Sant'Agata Bolognese
The Lamborghini Reventón has been entirely designed in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the original birthplace of the Lamborghini and the native home of every super car born under the sign of the bull. The design drawn up in Lamborghini's Centro Stile (Style Centre) is fine-tuned in close collaboration with the Lamborghini Research and Development Department. Thus, the Reventón is not only "haute couture" but it also stands out for its elevated dynamism whilst being entirely suitable for every day use.

The Lamborghini Reventón is not destined to remain a one-off. A total of 20 Lamborghini friends and collectors will be able to own this extraordinary car and, naturally, enjoy the incomparable pleasure of driving it.

The name Reventón has been chosen according to Lamborghini tradition. Reventón was a fighting bull, owned by the Don Rodriguez family. It is included in the list of the most famous bulls ever and is known for killing the famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943.

Inspired by the fastest airplanes
The present day Lamborghini models are distinguished by the clear language of their shape. The coherent proportions of the Murciélago and Gallardo highlight their power and dynamism. Sharp edges, precise lines and clean surfaces: these are ingredients of a style reduced to the essential. Each element is created exactly according to its function; ornaments and decorations are totally foreign to a Lamborghini.

With the Reventón the Centro Stile designers have coherently developed this philosophy, inspired by another sphere where speed and dynamism reign absolute: modern aeronautics, responsible for the fastest and most agile airplanes in the world. This has created an extremely precise, technically striking style with a new vitality: interrupted lines and contorted surfaces create a fascinating play of light, giving the car incredible movement.

Made of carbon fibre and precision
Although it is based on the extraordinarily successful Murciélago LP640, the exterior design of the Reventón is completely new. Just like the base model, the exterior is made of CFC, a composite carbon fibre material, which is as stable as it is light. The exterior components are glued and fixed to the body comprised of CFC and steel.

The front is characterised by the acute angle of the central 'arrow' and by the powerful forward-facing air intakes. Although they do not supply air directly to the turbine like an airplane, bearing in mind the 650 hp, an abundant volume of air is necessary to cool the carbon brake disks and the six cylinder callipers.

Characterised by coherent functions
Naturally, both doors on the Reventón open upwards - since the legendary Countach this has also been a symbol of the V12 Lamborghini product line. With their asymmetric configuration, the large air intakes below the doors provide an example of the extreme coherence with which a Lamborghini fulfils its function: on the driver's side it is large to increase the flow of oil to the radiator. On the passenger's side of the vehicle, the air intake is flat because in this case, it only has to ensure the flow below the floor. The aerodynamically optimised flat floor structure terminates at the rear with a diffuser featuring an accentuated shape. This guarantees excellent road grip and stability even at 340 km per hour.

In spite of the extreme and innovative language of its shape, the Reventón not only maintains all the strong features of the Murciélago LP640, but also offers further amelioration in terms of aerodynamics, the important engine cooling system, the air intake system and brakes. The airflow and the section of the variable geometry air intakes of the engine and the rear spoiler (also adjustable) have been modified.

Owners of the 20 examples will be able to test the performance of his or her Lamborghini in person.

Perfected to the ultimate detail
The engine hood made of glass laminate with open ventilation slits offers a glimpse of the beating heart of the twelve cylinders of the super car. The glass also features the marked arrow angle that characterises the design from the front to the rear spoiler. The Lamborghini designers' love for detail is beautifully illustrated by the fuel tank lid: a small mechanical work of art, achieved by milling a solid aluminium block.

The combination lights transform the incisiveness of the design into light: the front features the most modern light-emitting diodes alongside Bi-Xenon headlights. Seven LEDs ensure continuous daylight while there are a further nine diodes for the indicator and hazard lights. Another technical innovation is found in the rear light LEDs. Because of the high temperature in the rear low part of the car, special heatproof LEDs are used for the indicator and hazard lights, stoplights and rear lights with a triple arrow optical effect.

A new body colour
Naturally, such a refined language of shape also demands an extraordinary colour. For the 20 examples of the Reventón, the designers from Sant'Agata Bolognese have created a totally new hue: Reventón, a mid opaque green/grey without the usual shine. However, thanks to the metallic particles, in the daylight this colour tone features surprising depth.

Opaque and brilliant colours for the wheel rims
This play of opaque and lustre is also featured on the wheel rims, especially created for the Reventón. Opaque carbon fins are screwed onto the black aluminium spokes, not only creating a visual effect with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel, but a turbine effect also ensures optimum cooling for the powerful ceramic brake disks.

TFT display similar to an airplane
The same innovative force applied to the exterior design characterises the cockpit of the Reventón. Designed and created using Alcantara, carbon, aluminium and leather that comply with the top quality standards, the interior is inspired by the next generation cockpits: just like in modern airplanes, the instruments comprise three TFT liquid crystal displays with innovative display modes. At the touch of a button, the driver can choose from two vehicle information display modes. The instruments are housed in a structure milled from a solid aluminium block, protected by a carbon fibre casing.

The G-Force-Meter is also completely new: this display shows the dynamic drive forces, longitudinal acceleration during acceleration and braking, as well as transversal acceleration around bends. These forces are represented by the movement of an indicator on a graduated 3D grid depending on the direction and intensity of the acceleration. A similar instrument can be found in the airplanes. Formula One teams also use a similar device to analyse dynamic forces.

Customisable instruments
The instrument on the left of the speedometer associates the number of revolutions in the form of a luminous column with the display of the selected gear. Finally, every Reventón is equipped with a robotised e.gear controlled by two small levers under the steering wheel.

By simply pressing a button, the driver can switch to the second, quasi-analogical display, where the classic circular instruments, speedometer and engine speed indicator are configured in an equally innovative way and transformed into luminous pilot lamps with varying colours. The G-Force-Meter naturally remains at the centre in this display mode.

Electronic system developed entirely by Lamborghini
All this is possible thanks to the fact that the entire electronic platform of the Reventón, together with all the control devices, has been autonomously developed by the Lamborghini experts.

The same process for integrating the electronic displays in the car was applied to the Lamborghini Engineering Department.

From the conception of the very first radical ideas, the entire Reventón has been developed in Sant'Agata Bolognese thanks to tight teams of remarkably creative experts. An extremely refined and efficient process was employed: CAD design and development, creation of the prototype in the Prototype Department, all carried out under the constant supervision of the Research and Development Department's technicians and testers.
