GTR VS ZR1 Who win$ according to me!

Well its simple the ZR1 beat the GTR in a half mile drag race and also on the Nurbugring. Well here is the proof, being probably the biggest fan of the GTR i finally accept defeat. But that does'nt mean that the GTR is crap !! no no no! its still the coolest car on the planet and i believe that the 2010 V Spec has beaten the ZR1. That shows if GTR costed as much as a ZR1 it would be a ton and a bit of complete OWNAGE. But for now i would like to show you this. I am not biased ;)
ENJOY!
Just something for you to think about: the ZR1 has nearly 200bhp more than the GTR so.. what is all that power doing? giving it JUST 2 seconds worth a lead at the Nurguring? imagine a GTR with that much power..look at my earlier post for GTR 700 by Hennessey. NOW THATS WHAT I'm TALKING ABOUT ;)

Spy shots: Facelifted Porsche 911 GT3 RS up close

Porsche’s current iteration of the 911 has been around for almost four years and is currently in the process of a mid-cycle update. We’ve already seen the introduction of the facelifted Carrera and Carrera S, AWD 4 and 4S models, as well as the GT3, but still in the works are the more extreme Turbo, and GT2, plus the track-honed GT3 RS – the latter captured here in these latest spy shots.



It will be hard to spot the difference between the new and the old as the images reveal. This is because most of the planned changes will be taking place under the sheet-metal.

Power levels should receive the same 435hp (320kW) boost as the new 3.8L GT3. In line with the changes in the facelifted Carrera range, the engine in the updated GT3 RS will also sport bigger combustion chambers, a new crankshaft, an upgraded oil and water pump, and possibly direct-injection technology as well.



Acceleration times over the current model would likely be improved if Porsche adds its new Doppelkupplung dual-clutch system, but a conventional six-speed manual is likely to remain the only option given the intended purpose of the track special.

The GT3 RS will also once again based on the Carrera 4 body and should feature the same widened track, carbon-fiber interior and plastic rear window as the current model. Styling updates include new LED daytime running lights, revised taillights, a cleaner front end with larger intakes in the lower skirt, and a new lip spoiler. Expect to see the new model make its debut at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

All 49 FIA GT cars take to the track

The 2009 season of the FIA GT Championship got underway with the official media launch and test days, which took place at the Paul Ricard HTTT circuit earlier this week. Cars from the FIA GT Championship, the FIA GT3 European Championship and the GT4 European Cup were entered for the test days, with a total of 49 cars taking part over the two day event. Two special cars, built according to the 2010 GT1 technical regulations, were also included in the event. They were the Nissan GT-R and the Ford GT1.



A number of changes to the motorsport series will be taking place for 2009, including a calendar reduced to eight events, the removal of development tires, and less team assistance. The FIA also announced plans for the GT1 World project.



The 2010 GT1 World project aims to set up a World Championship title for independent teams, with 12 events in 12 countries, on five continents. Letters of intent have been received from circuits in Argentina, Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Romania, Russia, Bulgaria, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. The single GT1 class would consist of six brands, a maximum of 24 cars, two cars per team and two teams per brand.



Hans Reiter, from Reiter Engineering, also confirmed at the event that he would be building a new generation GT1 car : “As some of you may know, Lamborghini has recently released a new version of the Murcielago, SV version, 670hp, 6.7L, and this will be our car for the GT1 World Championship. Unfortunately, the car is not ready yet as the car was only launched in March, but should be ready for the second part of the season,” he explained.

Sony’s PSP Controlled Remote Car

The proposed system has the car, which is moved via a wireless link to a PSP system, capture the environment with a mounted camera. Visual data from the car’s camera is beamed back to the PSP so the user can navigate around obstacles or record and save a movie. The patent specifically says, “a user may control the car 200 so as to spy on their friends… then upload the stored video images to a website.”



A patent filed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe details an invention where the PSP could be used to operate a remote car with a camera.


Here is a rough look at the car’s schematics. What you can’t see is Sony plans to give the car a speaker and/or microphone. The speaker can be used to play music or reproduce the sound of a particular car like a Ferrari or with editing, perhaps, the Mach 5. Sound effects like engine noises may be preloaded in the car’s memory.






The car can also be used for a racing game within “augmented reality zones”. These are explained as areas with virtual markers and paths that players physically create. Think of it as a build your own race track video game. When you’re inside an augmented reality zone the car moves. Leave the zone and the car freezes so you don’t drive it down a staircase, for example. The patent proposes the augmented reality areas may show the real environment or replace objects with computer generated images. In other words the car can take your sofa and translate it into say, an alien mother ship.



Since this is a patent the PSP remote car system is theoretical. As a new idea there is potential if Sony uses it for more than a spy car. How about Gran Turismo Mobile Camera Car?

Your cute little Audi TT has learnt how to GRUNT!



Rolling off the factory floor with 272hp (203kW) from its 2.0L TFSI engine, the small and svelte TTS offers impressive performance from day one. But the Germans at mcchip wanted more, so they applied a quick ECU tune to get another 43hp (32kW) and 66lb-ft (90Nm) out of the four-banger, bringing totals to 315hp (235kW) and 325lb-ft (440Nm) of torque. Top speed rises to 171mph (275km/h) as part of the package as well.

Pricing is fairly reasonable as well, at €849 ($1,115) for the tune and another €2,990 ($3,930) for the wheel and tire setup.

Overall YES YES YES for the TT

Nissan GTR 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds! tuned by Hennessey

The top-speed figure was set at the Texas Mile using a Hennessey Performance Nissan GT-R GTR700. It's not surprising considering the brutal 700hp (522kW) and 630lb-ft (853Nm) output of the upgraded Godzilla, and it's within 4mph of the car's maximum speed possible on stock gearing, which maxes out at 197mph at redline in top gear.

Getting to that top speed is a brutal experience, pulling 1g in acceleration to get to 60mph in 2.8 seconds, 100mph in 6.7 seconds, and 186mph in 24.79 seconds - well under half of the 53.3 seconds the stock GT-R requires to hit that speed. For a visual illustration of what that is like, check out the video below. What you are about to see is just FAN BLEEDIN' TASTIC!

Mercedes E63 AMG Official Video!

ENJOY!

OF COURSE THIS IS THE HIGH-END MODEL WITH ALL THE LATEST UPGRADES.. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT.. I LOVE THE C63 AMG MORE!!:)

MTM’s new Audi R8 leaves onlookers green with envy


Audi’s R8 already delivers stunning performance in standard guise, coming close to rivalling the cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini, but with a little help from Germany’s Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) there would be no stopping it. The tuner’s latest program for the R8 is without doubt highlighted by its “Porsche 2D8” green paint scheme – the same as the 911 GT3 RS.

Showing MTM’s attention for detail, on all four black brake calipers and on the black fuel cap there is a green “R8” nameplate. The ultra-light MTM Bimoto light alloy wheels measuring in at 20in also features a green nameplate stating “MTM forged” on one of the spokes.

In the interior, the same color repeats at the seams of a suede steering wheel and the “Quattro” nameplate on the glove department flap. Also, the “R8” logo on the gear-shift shines in green.

Thankfully, MTM hasn’t left the mechanicals untouched. A new supercharger kit for the R8’s 4.2L V8 engine that boosts output to 560hp (418kW) and 427lb-ft (580Nm) of torque is available, but owners of the new V10 model haven’t been left in the dark. MTM also offers an ECU upgrade for the 5.2L FSI engine, which lifts output to 560 hp (418 kW) as well.

Other modifications include a new exhaust system with valve control that leads into four black ceramic-coated end pipes. Re-engineered side-blades that direct the airflow from behind the doors right into the middle engine provide the necessary air supply.

In order to transfer the newly gained power on the road, an extensive aerodynamics package renders the necessary downthrust. At the front, a new splitter made of carbon-fiber, which is painted green on the top and matt black on the bottom, thrusts the R8 on the tarmac. The side skirts and the rear diffuser, both also entirely made of green varnished carbon-fiber, hold the rear axle of the car to the ground. Finally, to protect the car from road bumps or garage exits, MTM added its Lift-up-System, which can raise the car a full 40mm.

New York Auto Show is here!

Yes guys its here, NYAS, the event that nearly every car enthusiast looks forward to. The highlight this year is the new Bentley Super Sport, which is apparently "GREEN" well thats what they say. I mean they're not fooling anyone, especially when theres a W12, yes thats right a W12 that is 2 V6's combined for those of you who didnt know(just like the Veyron which is W16 which means 2 V8's madness that is !). The Super Sport is going to the be sportiest Bentley to date and its a looker. A Bentley coupe is always gonna be a looker, all yours for $273,000!. Well it was never going to be cheap was it?. The engine is capable of running on normal unleaded and E85 biofuel or any combination of the two fuel-sources. 0 to 62 mph for the Bentley Continental Supersports comes in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph. Offset by gloss black wheels, the arctic white duco on this bad boy is just begging to have a gaggle of smokin’ hot, Fifth Avenue gold diggers bent over the hood ornament. Fuck HSV’s, I just want one of these!


On the other hand GM had less that 10 people visit their stall's RECESSION to the MAXX!!!!. Poor GM, they were probably expecting this. Keeping the topic of 'Sports Cars' alive, BMW showed off the new 'M' upgrade for their part SUV/ part Coupe(which they like to call SUV coupe) the X6, the upgrade includes s new body kit, the V8 gets a boost, so now it produces 575 BHP and 600 Nm Torque.


Nissan showed off its new 370Z convertible, the real sports car as they say. The Z is definately a very beautiful car and smaller than you might think it is, its gets the same V6 375 bhp as the 350Z but this one is lighter so it will probably make better use of the amazing Nissan engine. Anyways thats all i have from the first 2 days of the Auto Show guys.
