In order to put in perspective where the technology in the new Porsche Panamera Hybrid comes from, the German automaker has gone to a lot of trouble shooting a commercial starring the star race car, the Porsche 919 LMP1. The reason it was troublesome was because they took the racing car straight through London in the rush hour! Porsche 919 LMP1 needed a huge crew and a couple of vans to keep it working on the street and stop it from bursting into flames because of running too hot at low speed. But it’s all been worth it because Porsche’s E-mobility family is here to stay and showing people that it uses technology from a racing car warms the heart of Porsche purists everywhere. Oh, and by the way, that is Mark Webber driving the 919.

In one of the coolest and yet most pointless publicity stunts Volkswagen has ever conducted, the American branch of the company tuned a VW Beetle and sent it to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah for a speed record. The number this Beetle LSR managed to score was 205.122 mph over a flying mile. OK, so this exercise has not been as pointless as said above because, for one thing, Volkswagen runs a Beetle in the Rallycross series and this record could boost that car’s track cred. What’s more, this stunt puts in perspective the potential of VW’s 2.0 liter turbocharged engine for tuning. The unit they used in the VW Beetle LSR, modified by THR Manufacturing, develops a colossal – for a 2.0 liter – 543 horsepower and 421 pound-feet of torque at the wheels (more than 600 hp and nearly 500 lb-ft. at the flywheel). To be fair though it’s been practically rebuilt by the tuner with new turbochargers, pistons, camshafts, connecting rods, and head modifications.

It is always a big deal when you see a multi-million dollar car parked on the street like an ordinary family sedan, especially one that has no business being there in the first place. This road-legal McLaren P1 GTR is a pretty crappy car to drive on public roads for obvious reasons, but it could very well be the coolest thing ever to grace the streets. It is amazing to think that somebody paid nearly two million dollar for a regular McLaren P1 – because that’s how qualify to buy a P1 GTR – then spend twice that on a racing McLaren P1 GTR, and probably the same amount again on making the thing road-legal. All that for what? To show us that he can? Well, yes, that’s how these things work really. Granted, the guy could have saved many lives spending all that money on fighting hunger and disease in Africa or someplace like that, but he decided he would feel better showing off. And that’s okay.

Volkswagen has launched a new version of the iconic Beetle in the UK featuring new styling details and upgraded specs. Don’t expect a whole new car though, as 2017 VW Beetle comes only with a revised bumper and some new fog lamps. That’s about it really, except for the new R-Line trim, which is the highlight of 2017 VW Beetle range. The R-Line gets a sporty front apron with extra air intake openings along the upper edge of the bumper. Brighter instrument panel lighting and new dials and dash styling for the Design and R-Line models as well as refreshed upholstery design are among the other notable upgrades. The R-Line version of the 2017 VW Beetle, which is what you want, replaces the previous Sport trim level and comes with a 2.0-litre TDI 150 PS diesel engine and a choice of either six-speed manual or six-speed DSG transmission. You also get 18-inch ‘Twister’ or ‘Ashmie Adamantium’ alloy wheels, body color rear diffuser, twin exhaust and a rear tailgate spoiler. Kaylami cloth seats, leather-wrapped sport steering, and 2Zone climate control are also standard. But if you want a regular Beetle with some of R-Line equipments VW offers the Black Style Pack among the new options. It includes 17-inch ‘Rotor’ black alloy wheels and a black painted roof as well black trim pieces and stripes. The package costs £625 on top of the base price of £16,820.

As we have already mentioned once or twice, this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed McLaren’s special operations unit will showcase a road-legal version of the P1 GTR created in collaboration with Lanzante. This is it, and it’s officially called McLaren P1 LM in honor of the old F1 LM. Now, Lanzante’s McLaren P1 LM is not the first road-legal P1 GTR to hit the roads. We know of at least two other examples converted for road use by private owners of the hyper track car. But it is probably the best of them, seeing as McLaren’s own MSO engineers had been involved in the development and fine-tuning of the car. What’s more, McLaren P1 LM is even more hard-core than the track version in the sense that it is actually lighter and more aerodynamic. They have removed the onboard air jack, revised the aero kit for more downforce, swapped the bucket seats for lightweight units form the F1 GTR, and used plastic for windows. So although the 1,000 horsepower powertrain remains untouched, the LM should in theory be even faster than the track car upon which it is based, which is a bit ironic. Another irony is the fact that Lanzante takes away some of the P1 GTR’s equipment in making it road-legal, and charges you more for it. Official pricing has not been revealed yet, but sources have mentioned numbers as high as three million pounds. But hey, McLaren P1 LM is as unique and as high-end as road cars get. So it’s probably worth it. Via TopGear VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

In one of the most ridiculous things they’ve ever done – and they’ve done a fair few – Volkswagen has launched a new version of the Beetle, the first car to be named as its own hashtag. They call it the PinkBeetle and insist we use the hashtag (i.e. #PinkBeetle) which we refuse to do. The car is silly enough being a Beetle and pink, it really doesn’t need that hashtag. The reason Volkswagen has done these awful things to the poor Herbie is because, they say, they want to be a “social media influencer,” by which we reckon they mean they want to go viral. Now, as you know, in order to go viral on the social media you don’t necessarily have to be amazing. Most of the things that do go viral are silly stuff people share because they want to laugh at the sheer stupidity of the thing. So yes, VW PinkBeetle probably will go viral. Available in coupe and convertible guises, the 2017 VW PinkBeetle is, mercifully, a limited edition powered by a 170 PS and 184 lb-ft of torque 1.8-liter turbocharged direct-injection TSI engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It comes with Fresh Fuchsia Metallic paint, 17-inch multi-spoke Linas aluminum-alloy wheels, a bunch of LED lights, Pink Club cloth seats,leather steering wheel and standard MIB II infotainment system with Apple Car and Android Auto features.

Anybody with the tiniest insight into the automotive world knows how cool this is. But for those few who don’t, seeing a Porsche 911 GT1 on public roads is kind of a big deal on account of the car’s rarity, astronomical price, and the fact that it is in essence a pure racing car. As the name GT1 clearly suggests, this ultimate version of the 996-series 911 was built initially to go racing. But as per rules and regulations, Porsche had to produce a handful of road-going models to be eligible, and that resulted in the conception of the road-going Porsche 911 GT1. Despite being road-legal, the 996 GT1 came with the same basic engine as the racing version, a twin-turbo flat-six unit with nearly 540 horsepower. Seeing as the whole car, despite its massive size, weighs no more than 1,150 kg, the performance that results from that power is pretty amazing, at least by 90’s standards: 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, top speed ~310 km/h. There are a few converted Evolution racing versions of the GT1 which pack up to 600 horsepower. As for the value of this bad boy, just a few years ago fine examples of Porsche 911 GT1 used to go around $1.2 million USD. In 2016, and only a few days ago, an Evo version was auctioned for $3.1 million. It’s better than gold and diamonds, this car.

GT-R fans the world over are rejoicing at the accomplishment of a feat that’s put their favorite car in the world in the Guinness bool of world record. The feat in question is the fastest drift ever conducted, and it’s been done by a specially prepared version of the Nissan GT-R Nismo. The 1,380 horsepower Godzilla, converted to be rear-wheel-drive only, managed to execute a 30 degree slide at a mind-bending 304.96 km/h, which you’ll agree is pretty impressive. It’s mindless, but really rather exciting. The location for this stunt was the Fujairah Inteational Airport in UAE and the superhuman who did the job was Masato Kawabata, the Japanese drift champion and title holder for the Japanese drifting series. [embedded content] The record-breaking Nissan GT-R Nismo was prepared by GReddy Trust who had to set up a camp at the airport to make sure the car functions properly for the event. The car was running Toyo tires. “Once again, Nissan has broken a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title and has made inteational history for the fifth time in the Middle East,” said Samir Cherfan, Managing Director of Nissan Middle East. “The Nissan GT-R is one of the world’s most iconic supercars, proving time and again the incredible breadth of its capabilities, and has clearly demonstrated its performance leadership by beating the best drift cars out there. The fact that this achievement was set here in the UAE makes it even more special for our region. Setting this incredibly difficult world record was a clear demonstration of the excitement we are bringing to the Middle East with the Nismo brand.” VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب
