2012 Mansory Ferrari 458 Spider Monaco Edition

Refining of sports cars is more than just a business for Mansory. Extraordinary customisation is what the German supercar modifier is all about. Based in Brand, Germany and owned by Kourosh Mansory, the company has now modified the prancing horse’s 458 Spider, and only three will be made.

The customised Spider gets carbon fibre all over enabling a weight saving of 60kg. There’s a striking side skirt with optimised air intakes, the new bonnet and side sills exude an aggressive aura and adds to the drive dynamics steadying the air flow between axles and feed additional air to the engine compartment through integrated routed channels. The diffuser built into the new rear skirt stabilises the rear at high speeds and creates downforce with the serial air wing.

But the MANSORY convertible does not impress only with its fascinating design. As a result of an optimised engine management, a sports air filter and a sports exhaust system engine performance as well as acceleration both improve significantly.

Thanks to 590 hp / 434 kW and 560 Nm the eight-cylinder accelerates from zero to one hundred (km/h) in a breathtaking 3.2 seconds. The top speed is 330 km/h which is also higher than the base vehicle. As the perfect wheel-tyre combination MANSORY has built forged rims with central locking in 9 x 11 and 11 x 21 dimensions with Michelin PS2 tyres in the VA 245/35, ZR20 and HA 305/30 ZR21 sizes.source:lincah.com,zigwheels.com

2012 ABT Audi AS7

 The design is simply exciting. The Audi A7 is among the most elegant silhouettes in the entire premium segment. The “Sportback” is a really chic model – and sporty at that. This particularly applies to the ABT AS7, which is not only a paper tiger but also a real one, exactly as its drivers would expect. Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of ABT Sportsline, summarises what these expectations are: “You should be able to feel that you are actually sitting in a ‘sports car’ all the time. But the car also has to be comfortable and suitable for everyday use.“ It goes without saying that the “AS” in ABT AS7 stands for “astonishingly sporty”. After all, its development was based upon all the motorsport and touring car experience of ABT. The AS7 embodies all the know-how that the largest tuner of cars of the Volkswagen Group has.

The new premium Sportback’s facts are impressive: We may disclose, even before the extensive tests have been concluded, that it has at least 520 hp (382 kW). By comparison with the very dynamic sstandard version, this is 100 hp (74 kW) more. The top speed is 290 km/h. The elegant luxury car is a vehicle that is also huge fun when being driven at high speeds. A torque of 650 Nm lets the V8 cope with every situation. “Our AS7 is powerful, torquey, but also easily controllable”, says Hans-Jürgen Abt. This chic sports car from Bavaria is simply an ideal travel companion and racer.

Befitting the sporty potential are the CR orDR alloy wheels in 20 or 21 inches. It goes without saying that ABT also sells these design wheels in combination with high-performance tyres. After all, it is only at high speeds that the potential of the fast ABT AS7 can be fully utilised. The right suspension springs guarantee an even more sporty feeling when taking a curve. Alternatively, ABT can also provide a lower air suspension setting called ABT Level Control.

And all those who would rather want a real limo or Avant station wagon but not do without the sporty ABT spirit, this could be interesting news indeed: ABT Sportsline is currently developing a similar performance package for the S6 as well. This is the A6’s faster brother, as it were. We will shortly provide you with this premium car’s exact specifications.source:seriouswheels.com

2012 Mansory Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

Saving the visuals for later, the power mods Mansory added is really the standout factor for this kit. The CLS63 AMG comes standard with a handcrafted 5.5-liter twin turbo V8 motor, which produces 557 hp and 590 lb-ft. With the addition of an air filter and a upgraded ECU, the tuner version puts out 631 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque with the optional AMG sport package.
Sticking it to the pavement is a set of tires sized 256/30ZR20 up front and 305/25ZR20 at the rear, wrapping a set of 20-inch wheels.
Mansory was not shy with the carbon fiber treatment both outside and in. The exterior of the CLS63 AMG is fitted with a front and rear wing, rear diffuser and side sills.
Inside, the carbon fiber was extended to the dash, steering wheel, doors and center stack. In addition, black leather covers the dash and seating with contrast stitching.

The design of the MANSORY CLS not only looks sporty; the modification also has plenty to offer under the bonnet. From the V8 unit of the Mercedes-Benz CLS (5.5l, 557 PS, 700 Nm), the MANSORY engine technicians have managed to squeeze out 640 PS / 471 kW and a maximum torque of 900 Nm at 2,000 to 4,500 crankshaft revolutions. The modifications required for this include a newly programmed control unit, as well as a sports air filter for optimised oxygen supply to the high-performance engine.

Maintaining optimum contact with the road are 20-inch rims with 265/30ZR20 tyres at the front and 305/25ZR20 tyres at the rear. The sporty and elegant look of the ultralight forged wheels fills out the wheel arches perfectly. In conjunction with the complete modification, the MANSORY saddlers enhance the interior with a set of tailored carbon-fibre components for the dashboard and centre console. source:lincah.com,egmcartech.com

2013 Hamann Range Rover Evoque

 New design for the Range Rover Evoque and Evoque Coupe from HAMANN-Motorsport. The Range Rover Evoque has undergone a special kind of muscle training if you will, as the HAMANN-tuned model has grown 70 millimetres at the front axle and 80 millimetres at the rear axle compared with the standard version. As a result of the interplay between the different HAMANN components, including a high-performance exhaust system, a sports air filter and an optimised engine map, the 2.2 Si4 delivers a full power increase of 38 hp (28 kW). In the case of the diesel models (2.2 TD4, 2.2 ED4 and 2.2 SD4), engine performance is boosted by up to 31 hp(25 KW). Meanwhile, the vehicle’s torque soars by 65 Nm in the tuned model, propelling the sporty SUV from corner to corner with ease.

 The suspension-lowering springs in the HAMANN programme lower the SUV’s centre of gravity by 30 millimetres, benefiting its handling. Thanks to the three-part EDITION RACE “ANODIZED” aluminium wheels, the Evoque is transformed into a sports car. The 22-inch wheel rims with their anodised anthracite spokes, titanium screws and high-gloss polished rim flange are produced using forging technology, making them extremely light and reducing their unsprung mass.

No matter how many bends the driver must deal with, the Evoque never loses contact with the road surface.

Inside the SUV too, HAMANN customers are offered more features that take account of their desire for individuality. As a complement to the existing range of interior features that come as standard in the vehicle, HAMANN Motorsport also offers an extensive array of extras, ranging from personalised foot mats to a perfectly finished full leather interior. Decorative stitching finished by hand to perfection on the dashboard and the seats creates a visual focal point and completes the overall
impression of beauty.source:lincah.com,seriouswheels.com

novo voyage 2013

 Durante 12 anos, ficou de fora do mercado. Em 2008, a Volkswagen resolveu trazê-lo de volta. O Voyage foi lançado no Brasil em 1981 – e comercializado por aqui até 1996. Porém, apesar de possuir o mesmo nome, o Voyage atual não tem nada a ver com seu antecessor.

Configurações e motores

Concebido, planejado e desenvolvido simultaneamente ao Novo Gol, o sedã da VW está disponível nas versões 1.0, 1.6, 1.6 I-Motion, Comfortline e Comfortline 1.6 I-Motion, todas com quatro portas. Com o bloco 1.0, ele atinge 72 cv (gasolina)/76 cv (etanol) a 5.250 rpm. Já com o propulsor 1.6 esses números sobem para 101 cv e 104 cv, respectivamente, também a 5.250 rpm. A transmissão pode ser manual ou automatizada de cinco velocidades (1.6 I-Motion e Comfortline 1.6 I-Motion).

A novidade fica para as datas de lançamento. Segundo nossa fonte, Gol e Voyage 2013 chegam ao mercado em aproximadamente quinze dias, sendo que a fábrica já produz o automóvel em série para estoque de vendas. As versões Power e Rally do hatch e Comfortline do sedan terão de série freios com sistema antibloqueio (ABS) e duas bolsas infláveis (airbags), sendo um para o motorista e um segundo para o passageiro.

Vale lembrar ainda que embora exista a confirmação dos modelos 2013 com a inclusão dos itens de segurança mencionados, estranhamente não houve alteração no código dos automóveis para os concessionários. Isso demonstra possibilidade do Gol 2013 não incluir novidades de visual, ou ainda de existirem duas versões 2013, tal qual ocorreu no ano passado com o Polo, que teve duas versões para o ano modelo 2011/2012, sendo que apenas a segunda apresentou alterações de visual.

2013 Tesla Roadster |review-price-interior-exterior

The Tesla Motors Model S 4-door sedan has long been in the likely rumor category, but that all changed this week with a surprise official Tesla Model S introduction. Tesla has made big news with its Roadster model, which with over 250 deliveries has been the first real sport standalone electric car model to see mass production.

 If the spec sheet put out in an official Tesla press release was from any other car company, it would be unlikely to be taken seriously. Tesla makes some bold claims for the Model S, which has an early estimate on-road date of mid-2011.

The Roadster has done well on the open market for a pure start-up car company, but at $100,000 and with less utility than a Mazda Miata, its hip factor and novelty value have been big selling points. At double the size and half the price, with a more-powerful engine and battery technology that benefits from the many roadbumps in the Roadster program, the Model S will compete well in the emerging electric vehicle segment if it can stay true to early form.
Certain Tesla Model S show car details, like the rather ridiculous 20-inch wheels, probably will not make it onto a car that is supposed to be all about efficiency. Still, the Model S electric sedan has all the goods where it counts, and new technologies may allow the first affordable all-electric family sedan to see the light of day to be a big hit for fledgling Tesla Motors.
