  • America vs. Asia vs. Europe

    Despite the hard financial circumstances some car manufacturers keep developing and releasing sports luxurious cars. The three cars in question here are: The 2009 Audi S6 coming from Europe, the 2011 Infinity M coming from Asia and the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V.

    3 cars, 26 cylinders, more than 1300hp altogether and let the fun begin.

    Being sports cars first of all, it is power on the first place. All three have lots of it, but the Cadillac has 121hp more than the Audi and 136 more than the Infinity. Being supercharged the Cadillac has the most torque as well – 551 NM.

    Both the Audi and the Cadillac can be equipped with a six-speed automatic, while the Infinity offers a seven-speed transmission. If you are more conservative, the Cadillac is the only one to offer a manual gearbox – a 6-speed one.

    Having such immense amount of power feels great and engineers were well aware of this. All three cars can benefit from at least 350mm rotors on the front wheels. The Audi has the largest brakes – 385mm and two-piston sliding calipers. The Cadillac’s are just 5mm smaller; the Infinity has 356mm rotors.

    America vs. Asia vs. Europe
    America vs. Asia vs. Europe

    So it seems the Cadillac has it all in terms of driving experience. It lacks some other stuff though – No DVD player is to be found inside. Also, it is only sold as RWD, which is indeed fun, but AWD provides more stability and control especially if you have more than 400 hp.  Another small detail -it does not have a sunroof unlike the other two that have one as standard. At the cost of $62,360.00 the Cadillac is the second cheapest but mpg wise it is doing the worst of all three.

    So which is the most fun to drive? The Cadillac is RWD, so maybe young people would prefer it, hence the supercharged Corvette engine and 556 hp. The Infinity is the only one offering 7 speeds meaning you always have enough power and torque to get your back firmly on the seat. The Audi has 2 cylinders more and offers the best picture under the bonnet, also its peak of torque is at the lowest RPM and the peak of power is at the highest. Also it costs 14-16k more than the other two.

    Which is the fastest – definitely the Cadillac, considerably.

    Which one is the most beautiful – the Infinity for sure slightly reminding of a Jaguar or a Maserati.

    What does the Audi lack?

    – A little more power to face the competition and let’s face it

    – Arguments to justify the 14k gap in price.

  • 24 Hours Le Mans: June 11/12, 2011

    At a glance: All three Team Peugeot Total cars made it to the end, but Audi R18 LDI no.2 is the winner. The race was full of accidents and interesting moments.

    “The die is cast, we are set for a magnificent duel between two great manufacturers,” commented Olivier Quesnel.

    “We feel that we have done a good job. But this is sport, and the outcome will now be decided out on the track,” added Bruno Famin. Throughout the 24 hours of the race, the Peugeot 908s demonstrated the performance level and reliability of their cars. Twenty four hours at an incredible pace, without any let up for mechanics or the drivers, twenty four hours that held the attention of hundreds of millions of fans, TV viewers and web users.”, he added.

    As forecast, fine rain began to fall at around 11am. Thanks to making the right choice of tyres, Peugeot Sport engineers help Simon Pagenaud to close to within 30’’ of André Lotterer.

    The end of the race looked on course to be a head-to-head fight between the two men. At 14:24, both cars dived into the pit lane at the same time for a final stop. Pagenaud kept his Michelin tyres, whereas Lotterer opted to put on a new set of tyres. The two leaders came back out separated by less than ten seconds! Taking full advantage of his fresh tyres, Lotterer pulled away a little as the laps went by, and went on to clinch the win. Peugeot’s three 908s finished in second (no.9), third (no.8) and fourth (no.7) positions. The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP run by Oreca rounded off the top five of one of the closest ever editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

  • Audi R8 GT Spyder

    Audi has announced the R8 GT Spyder, just a year after the R8 GT. It will be run in limited edition of just 333 cars. However, all units of the open-top sports car are already sold out.

    R8 GT Spyder is powered by the famous 5.2 FSI V10 engine from Gallardo – 560PS (412 kW) and 540Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h (197 mph). Just staggering results, mainly because of the curb weight of the car – 1640 kg, which means 85 kg less than R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI Quattro.

    The R8 GT Spyder comes standard with an automated 6-speed R tronic gearbox with two fully automatic modes. There is a launch control program, too. Nice!

    All power is put on the road through permanent all-wheel-drive – Quattro. More of the power is send to the rear wheels, which means less understeering and more fun.

    The whole car is lowered with 10 mm and sits on 19” alloy wheels fitted with 235/35 tires at the front and 295/30 at the rear. The large, lightweight carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs decelerate the car with supreme ease. The ESP stabilization program has a sport mode and can also be deactivated entirely.

    The soft-top roof deploys or retracts in 19 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph).

    2011 Audi R8 GT Spyder is priced at €207 800.

  • Audi A1 Clubsport Quattro

    Audi will unveil A1 Clubsport Quattro at the 2011 Wörtherseetour in Reifnitz, Austria, which will take place from June 1st to 4th.

    The time attack machine is powered by an upgraded 2.5 liter five-cylinder turbocharged petrol featuring direct-injection. The massive power is 503PS (370 kW) and 660Nm (486 lb-ft). The performance is outstanding – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, to 200 km/h in just 10.9 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. However, we have no doubts that A1 Clubsport will easily pass the 300 km/h barrier. 80 to 120 km/h in 4th gear takes 2.4 seconds.

    The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, which delivers the torque to all four wheels.

    A1 Clubsports Quattro has a curb weight of 1390 kg (3064 lbs), so it won’t be fast only in straight line, but in the corners, too.

    Furthermore,  A1 Clubsport Quattro comes with a full aerodynamics wide body kit. The width is increased will full 60 mm. There is also an adjustable coilover suspension.

    The vehicle stands on enormous 19” alloy wheels fitted with ultra-performance 255/30 ZR19 tires.

    The interior is very poor – bucket seats, a leather finish for the center console and a crossbar instead of rear seats. Still, this is an ultra-performance car, so it doesn’t need anything else.

  • Best looking 6 concepts that never reached the market

    Best looking 6 concepts thumbAs you know what you driving is a result of serious R&D, drafts and arguments. For many reasons your car was(is) available in the showroom. However there are many examples of cars that did not manage to go further than the draft or clay. Here are the best looking 6 concepts that never reached the market.

    Number 6

    Toyota FT-HS Concept

    This beauty was introduced in 2007 in North America. It was quite up to date with the current tendencies, so speed and power were not the only thing the car was focusing on. Safety and ecology have definitely been taken into consideration. That’s why the idea of the car is to have a hybrid powertrain. Despite this the car would still remain light and a great fun to drive.  Being a fast RWD car it takes Toyota back to the golden years of the AE86 Corolla and would definitely be a total hit both for teenagers and grown-up boys that once dreamed of having AE86 Corolla.


    Number 5

    Nissan Intima

    Nissan’s luxurious sedan concept was seen for the first time in 2007. Two things came into sight right away. First of all the rear doors were to be opened towards the back of the car instead of the conventional opening – parallel to the front door. Also the windshield would go all the way to the back of the roof creating incredible atmosphere for the passengers. Surprisingly for Nissan, the Intima is constructed to have an efficient, environmental friendly 6 cylinder diesel engine. Last but not least , the Intima is equipped with a 4-zone air conditioning system that would make sure all of the passengers feel comfortable.


    Number 4

    Honda Accord Coupe Concept

    In the beginning of 2007 Honda showed this coupe in Detroit and this was for a reason – Accord is the best-selling Honda in USA. The accent when presenting the car was the fuel economy and safety features. In terms of design, the Accord coupe looks aggressive due to the long hood and the headlamps that go deep behind to reach almost the middle of the fenders. The four exhaust pipes in the back promise to also touch the heart of the driver giving out the 6 cylinder engine at the touch of the throttle.


    Number 3

    BMW Concept CS

    This Gran Turismo masterpiece was first to be seen in Shanghai and it did look stunning. A 4-door coupe with sleek curves and very low profile. Definitely something Mercedes need to be careful with when developing the CSL. Looking at the car you almost feel Bangle’s shade in it. The return to the “shark shape” is obvious, magical and… I love it! Is this going to be the positioned above the 7th series and benefit from the 6.0 V12.


    Number 2

    Mazda Nagare

    This car definitely deserves its place here. It is undoubtedly something unique that cannot be seen every day. The name of the car means “Flow” and indeed even when standing still it looks like it’s moving. The “doors” are a flashback to the Mercedes Gull-wing – they open not sideways but from the roof and give an overview to the whole interior. The Recaro seats and the plane-like steering wheel finish the sporty feeling of the car. Despite the fact no details have been disclosed about engine or specifications, the Nagare is expected to use a rotary engine well known for it’s high revs and great response.


    Number 1

    Audi RSQ concept

    This car has been designed and created especially for the movie “I robot”, where Will Smith would use it to fight some “evil machines”. Indeed, it shares a lot with the TT, but it is so much different at the same time. The door are hinging back to open up like the wings of a butterfly. It is also mid-engined which is great prerequisite for it to be a pleasure to drive. Now the sweetest part – as this was Audi’s vision for the future, it definitely needed something indeed futuristic, and there it was, the wheels are… spheres and as you can figure, the side panels are shaped accordingly to make the car more and more resemble a sculpture. The interior of the car is really close to a plane cockpit. The steering wheel, the instrument cluster, all this aluminium and a windshield to go over the driver’s head create intoxicating atmosphere once you sit in the bucket seat. How likely is this car to show on the streets? Not really huge  it seems. However a lot of it could be used for the Audi TT.

  • Impressive TDI engine for the new Audi R18

    Audi had  to develop a new TDI engine for the R18 Race car, because of the regulations.

    “Audi invented the TDI engine and is convinced that this technology remains one of the most efficient and modern forms to power a car – especially at Le Mans where engines with high specific power, low fuel consumption and low emissions are a necessity.”

    The new compact 3.7 litre V6 TDI is much lighter than its V10 TDI predecessor fitted to the older R15 TDI Race car. The V6 TDI engine powering the Audi R18 TDI, which has a cylinder angle of 120 degrees and an extremely low center of gravity, is technically generations further along the line and is also a technology-demonstrator for future production engines. It is fitted with a single turbocharger that also sits above the engine and draws its air directly through the air scoop mounted on the roof.

    The 3.7 litre V6 TDI has a power of more than 540PS (397 kW). Simply an incredible result of such small, light and compact power unit.

    Furthermore, the Audi R18 TDI is probably the quietest race car Audi Sport has ever built.

    “Noise is unused energy,” underlines Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich who is delighted by the whispering murmur of the R18 TDI.

    “The sound is unique,” raves Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen.

    “It’s hard to describe. You have to hear it yourself. I think it’s fantastic.”, he finished.

  • BMW 1-Series M is faster than E92 M3 at Hockenheimring

    BMW 1-Series M once again proved, that it is amazing small sports car. It managed to outrun the bigger and more powerful E92 M3 around Hockenheimring circuit in Germany. Sport Auto took a stock 1 Series M Coupe and let it race against a current-generation (E92) M3 with ZCP competition package and dual-clutch transmission.

    1-Series M is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline six-cylinder with 340PS (250 kW) and 500Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a 6-speed manual transmission. The E92 M3 has mighty 4.0 liter naturally aspirated V8 with 420PS (309 kW) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque.

    Despite the more power, E92 M3 achieved a best lap – 1:14.1 and the 1-Series M finished around the track in 1:14.2. The difference is insignificant, but the both Motorsport BMWs are a lot faster than Audi RS5 with 1:15.3 and TT-RS with 1:14.3.

    Still, Cayman S made a lap around the track for 1:13.9 with automatic gearbox and 1:14.0 with manual transmission.

    However, 1-Series M is not only a great sports car, but it reminds to the old BMW, which were made for pure driving pleasure.
