It was not exactly a secret that an extra-hot version of the 488 was in the works deep inside Ferrari factory in Maranello, especially since Porsche released their GT2 RS last year. Now the first complete picture of this beast has leaked and we get our first look at the new 2019 Ferrari 488 GTO. And in case you are in a hurry to know, it has 700 horsepower.  Ferrari 488 GTO is the successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia, and the 458 Speciale. But this one is apparently so good, they went ahead and gave it the venerated GTO badge. The name has not yet been confirmed officially, but a lot people are calling it that. So it is almost certainly the official name. Now, those three letters hark back to what is possibly the most glorious part of Ferrari’s history and perhaps the entire automotive culture. So the new boy had better be damn good, or Ferrari will get some serious stick from their hard-core fans. But of course it is gong to be awesome in every way, this 488 GTO, because it’s a new Ferrari. Sources tells us 2019 Ferrari 488 GTO is a hard and stiff race car built for the streets, so in that sense at least not much has changed since the Stradale days. Other , ...ادامه مطلب

You’ve installed your amp, tued on the stereo and discovered the sound performance isn’t giving that kick you want. I’ve experienced the same and many others. Surely there is nothing wrong with the amp but rather us. I knew there had to be a way to tune the amp to give me the sound I wanted. And luckily for me I found it. Fine tuning the amp is easy as one, two, three…four. Before we jump into the step you must do a final walk through of the car system: Do the amp, speakers and subwoofers have the power it needs to drive powerful sounds? Are RCA wires connected properly? Are you using the car’s factory speakers? If so you may want to replace them as they can alter sounds. If everything is in order and your amp is not producing full volume sounds then follow these steps. They’ve helped many others and I’m sure the same will happen to you. Step One: Set the Volume and Gain Control Many people forget this step when setting up the amp. The volume and gain control must be adjusted. These two need to work together to provide the best sounds your amp can produce. All you need to do is to put your volume on the 80% mark of the maximum volume. No speakers must be connected.

The fact that it is extremely hard to improve an electric car has not stopped aftermarket specialists from trying. Here you see the Novitec Tesla Model S, a European take on the highly celebrated American EV, and it boasts a number of key upgrades that make the ownership experience of the car more satisfying.  On the styling front Novitec Tesla Model S is given a light treatment in form of some carbon fiber components that do more for the aerodynamics of the car than its looks. The package include front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser, plus a neat boot spoiler. Because they are made of naked carbon, they look their best on a white car. The aero parts are complemented with a set of a bespoke Vossen wheels made exclusively for the Tesla, measuring 9,0J x 21J with 245/35 R21 tires on the front and 10,5J x 21J with 265/35 R21 tires out back. Customer has full control over the color of the rims. [embedded content] Having taken care of the looks, the tuner then set about technical improvements. And this is the difficult part with an electric car, because there isn’t much that can be done to increase the power and range that the manufacturer hasn’t done already. So Novit, ...ادامه مطلب
