ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH
Milton Keynes V12 Vanquish
For over 30 years, from 1969 to 2000 Aston Martin V8 Marek Tadek used in all "drive V range. But after a production period of a shade over 5000 against power units built V8 admired AML replaced with a new V12 engine to drive their highest level of cars through the first decade of the 21st century.
A V12 engine has been proposed for the Lagonda Vignale concept car in 1993, even if a work unit is not mounted actually in the car show. The Vignale was destined to be built around an extruded aluminum frame, a feature first in the production of the Vanquish. In 1996, Ford was up 6.0-liter V12 experimental work, initially based on a pair of 3.0-liter V6 Duratec unit, with a show car they called the Ford Indigo concept. Further development of the V12 has finally appeared in an Aston Martin with the 1998 road project is Vantage. The new V12 has finally been installed in a production Aston Martin DB7 Vantage in 1999.
Production V12 Vanquish, which resembles the Vantage project was finally revealed to the press and potential customers in October 2000, and the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2001. Production started soon after the Newport Pagnell plant restarted and customer deliveries began in summer 2001.
The Vanquish has been very active in the public eye since I met James Bond Aston Martin. Highly modified V12 Vanquish is the star of "Die Another Day", released in November 2002 with great success enormous.
To date, there have been two special cars modified based on the Vanquish, the Bertone Jet 2 unusual and wonderful Roadster by Zagato. Unfortunately, I think these cars have remained single.
The autumn of 2004 Aston Martin Vanquish, has unveiled the latest, 520-hp Vanquish S. Able 200 mph, was the flagship Vanquish S, or AM to describe it, their car "Hero".
In late 2004, around 1600 examples of the Vanquish was built. Demand remained strong in October 2005, the 2000th Vanquish left the factory in Milton Keynes famous for a new owner in Japan.
In 2006 it became clear that the two days of the Vanquish and the actual Aston Martin of Newport Pagnell production was coming to an end. First, cars are no longer marketed in the U.S. market, and production began to slow. Thus, in early 2007, AM announced the final version of the Vanquish S Ultimate Edition
At the time of Final Vanquish S was completed in July 2007 had been built only in 2578 Vanquish at Newport Pagnell. Aston Martin production at the plant had a sad end, after a period of more than 50 years. Much of the factory was demolished in early 2008 to make way for improvements in residential and commercial activities. As a note, the auction AM / Bonhams at 2008 1500, especially numbered bricks box, recovered after the demolition, was sold for charity. When they were available for purchase one day, the bricks are now coveted collectibles.
I am writing this in the summer of 2008, even with DBS, which has not yet replaced the Vanquish. The car has a loyal band of followers, Vanquish flag high and proud. It continues even after the removal of the price list, the ultimate "new era" Aston.

Aston Martin is the actual AMV 10?
No concept of interest. They do not even have a V-10, it will be necessary to be a completely new engine.
Right now the best car is a V12 Vantage, just released this year. Since the DBS V12, is a lighter, more agile chassis V8 Vantage ...
Or, One-77 ... which is more than $ 1 million, and making only 77 of them ... but it's still a V12.
I must say, however, that 10 is a great AMV. Infiniti Essence is another beautiful concept similay wth style that will never be made ..

Geneva 2011: Aston Martin Virage 2012 is a good thing
Actually, I do not see the need for a new Aston Martin, the gap between the DB9 and DBS, but after a little 'down on a new Virage 2012, welcomed him with open arms. It is based on the same architecture as the other cars of the VH line-up of the brand in England, using Virage Aston wonderful voice with a 6.0 liter V12 engine cranked out 490 horses and 420 pound-feet of torque. In Virage, a dozen cylinders are mixed exclusively for the company, six-speed Touchtronic 2-blade-change.
While the design of Virage is not very different from anything else in the portfolio of the manufacturer, it definitely has some punch. Like the great fast, we can not stop looking at this cut for long periods of time - that's just beautiful. Need proof?

2009 Alfa Romeo Brera Q4 - First Drive Review
Alfa Romeo has a legacy, but a difficult history in recent years, particularly in the United States in the 90's, the Italian brand not to drink, like many of its 164 sedan had.
Rumors of Alfa's return to the United States is a subject of the annual forecast of the automotive industry. It now appears that the brand will officially be here with a face lifted versions of the Brera coupe and convertible in time for the 2009 model year Spider. The current plan is to create a sales organization built around Alfa Maserati dealers US 47.
Brera and Spider are based on a synthesis of the 159 sedan platform [Front-loading, C / D, September 2005]. European cars are different for petrol and diesel engines, but the U.S. model is only a 3.2-liter V-6 gas. It is based on GM's "well equipped" V-6, but adapted to the cylinder heads Alpha includes a direct fuel injection and cam phasing that offers continuously variable valve timing for intake and exhaust. It produces 256 horsepower and a rich exhaust note that Alpha is typically (but not all the GM).
The platform locates the engine transversely and room for front-wheel drive or four wheels, as Alfa Q4 call and employs 43/57 front-rear, torque distribution varies in response to wheel slip with a Torsen center differential. In Europe, V-6 comes with a six-speed manual transmission for the moment, but a six-speed automatic transmission should be presented later this year.
We drove the Brera in Italy and although we had some questions about adherence to the road to Euro versions only front-wheel drive - and staking disconcerting couple seemed to depend on tire size and type - the model we have in Q4 States had a quiet confidence. With its quick steering (2.25 turns lock to lock) and the distribution of torque to the rear of polarization, which was anxious around corners and then gripped hard.
There is no doubt that America is becoming the best version of the platform, the V-6 sedan Brera Q4. It's fast - 0 to 62 mph in 6.8 seconds, according to the company - but not a class leader, due to a curb weight of about 3600 pounds. With an estimated price of $ 42 000, Brera is some strong competition for cars like the Audi TT, BMW Z4 M Coupe and the Mercedes SLK. The Brera can say practical because it has four seats and a hatchback, but an adult can not travel in the back and the tailgate lip is so high that the loading of luggage is a struggle.
You can be forgiven for those things, but because it seems so good. Brera (the name of the artists 'district' of Milan, the birthplace of Alfa Romeo) was the name of a legendary car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro Concept brighter since 2002. It 'was so admired that Alfa plans to include the production of a new Giugiaro ideas and gave the V-shaped hood and Triple-light in front and 159 and the overall shape of the rear-drive coupe concept. The proportions are slightly different, but the substance remains, and is beauty.Continued ...

2011 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider
Engine power as well as coupe and a convertible bond is another Italian thoroughbred, Maserati Quattroporte, but has expanded to 4.7 liters of displacement. Makes 450 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 347 Nm of torque at 4750 rpm with 7500 rpm redline. Ferrari-built motivator is positioned behind the front axle and a low center of gravity and ideal weight distribution of 50/50.
The choice of transmission will be a single six-speed sequential manual with paddles mounted on the rear axle for better weight distribution, as is the current fashion. The transmission of Q-Select will have five different modes: Manual-Normal, Sport Manual, Automatic-Normal, Automatic-Sport and Ice.
Carbon fiber car body hides a steel unibody near the Maserati Coupe as well. The landing gear was shaped in a wind tunnel to reduce lift at high speeds the car will probably be able to do without even breaking a sweat.
A stability control high threshold on the table and, in collaboration with the double wishbone suspension to keep the car on the road.
The wheels are 20 inch versions of Pirelli P-Zero Corsa, with six-piston brakes, ventilated and perforated four-piston front brakes behind evidence of their ability to shoot.
The car shares its name with the Alfa Romeo 8C 2009 to 1934, dominated the race in 1935-1938 and 1000 Miglia 1947. It was powered by a line-8.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
The 8C Competizione is a sports coupe with performance, style, fiery sensation ... and a price of £ 100,000. Originally debuting in concept form at the Motor Show in Frankfurt in 2003, the car is ready to be ordered for delivery in about a year. To see what these lucky buyers can expect, Auto Express was the first to take the wheel.
When unveiled the Alfa 8C off, few people thought it would make production unchanged. But, as you can see here - and how visitors found out last week at the Paris Motor Show - keeps all the amazing details of the concept.
In the front air intakes open and the lights claims are a very aggressive, and they are accompanied by visual theater exhaust only four and two circular lights in the rear. But it is the form of classic sports cars, with a long hood and short tail, is the real star feature. It was made possible by a low aerodynamic protection model hopefuls on the road at full speed, eliminating the need for ugly wings and spoilers.
The plant itself is bang up to date, is also carbon fiber frame is a steel spaceframe. Sitting right behind the front axle near the center of the heart 8C Car - 450bhp 4.7 liter V8, which is divided in the future Maserati Coupe. Two models are built on the same production line in Modena, Italy.
Just as Alpha of the transmission of the past, and differential thermo-INSI are mounted back, helps to give the 8C a perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Double wishbone suspension is large, but the huge Brembo ventilated disc behind 20-inch alloys.
Inside, the cabin is a classic Alfa, with individual screens, and the speedometer and tachometer, and a little bit easier with carbon fiber trim. Shell-type sports seats, including carbon fibers, coated with high quality leather used by Ferrari.
Our model was one of the first prototypes 8c, and was equipped with a manual six-speed conventional. Customer cars will use a semi-automatic version that will allow the driver to shift gears via steering wheel paddles. With some chassis fine-tuning left to do our driveway was short, but it is obvious that the 8C is a true Italian sports car.
V8 roars into life, press the start button, turns angrily and loudly that the thoroughbred competitor. Stab the accelerator and 470nm of torque is not to start problems with 1400 kg car from the line. Alfa says it will do 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 190 mph - and the driver's seat, certainly seems ruthlessly fast.
Backing up this huge acceleration of the rock-solid brakes, which slow the 8C as if you hit the wall. And even if he could not put the Alfa through its paces on the corners, the steering is alive with feeling, even at low speeds. Stiff suspension offers an immediate response, promising a real involved in the drive.
Is there a downside to the 8C? Just one: the fact only 500 models built. If you have that kind of money, we advise you in the queue now!

Acura RSX Review
The Acura RSX is a two-door sports sedan. Replacement Cup Integra, Acura RSX served as the entry-level car from 2002 to 2006, when the brand decided to move to the highest level itself and the car no longer fit the company's system. However, as a car, two versions of the RSX should appeal to consumers who want a car that offers a reasonably affordable sports coupe like the style and performance available. Like most Acura, the RSX has a high level of refinement and a reputation for above average reliability, competitive prices and high resale value.
In road tests, we found a performance RSX provider of the most important strengths of handling and responsive steering. The Type-S has been especially rewarding to drive. The entire cycle of production, the Acura RSX was one of our favorite sports sedans, but towards the end of several new and redesigned versions of both competitors abused in our favor.
Recent Acura RSX
Almost all the features of the Acura RSX was standard for finding a vehicle, preferably with easily. Throughout his life there were two available trim levels: base and Type-S. The base model should work well for consumers interested in having fun to drive a car that is comfortable for daily commuting. The RSX Type-S mechanical improvements that increase the performance potential of the car.
Base RSX has become standard features of convenience will be a car of this class. Highlights included an automatic climate control, electric windows and mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, CD player and a moonroof. Smooth rotating four-cylinder engine was standard, and was coupled to a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Base RSX was originally produced 160 horsepower, but the new SAE horsepower ratings in 2006, has changed the number to 155 leather seats were the only option.
The RSX Type-S added a six-CD touch brakes, leather seats, 17-inch wheels, a firmer suspension and more powerful set. The Type-S also had a four-cylinder engine tuned to produce more power (200 horsepower, later increased to 201). A six-speed manual transmission is the only option for a transmission.
Because of its four-cylinder engine and front wheel drive available seat, the Acura RSX boasts fuel economy better than many other sports coupes and sedans. In front seat passengers is good, but adults are sitting in the back of the head to find the missing space. The rear seat is split 60/40 and can be calculated to increase the load capacity. So configured, the RSX is nearly 18 cubic feet of storage space.
Consumers interested in using or owning a RSX should have no trouble finding one that matches their desires. Only minor changes were made after the departure of the car. The most important of these products in the 2005 model RSX, Acura and a revised suspension for better steering feel and response, the updated style exterior and a slight increase in production of horses in the Type-S to 201.

After the naming convention began with the revolutionary advanced sedan concept unveiled in Los Angeles, Acura has introduced a concept called Advanced Concept Detroit Sports Car After having been out of the sports car market in 2005 the last NSX , Acura seems to be preparing for the start, although purists will be disappointed that NSX the following sports car company is unlikely to be an engine of semi-exotic, but a front engine Gran Turismo, possibly a 2 +2.
The most private of all exterior trim, door handles and even the grid, the Advanced Sports Car Concept as otherwise provided in a fairly accurate look at what the future might look like the GT Acura. Long, sloping hood, sleek roof and muscular hind legs formed a mixture of curved surfaces and edges of the folded form would seem to be a showroom.
If (and it is little, if) something similar to the concept of advanced sports car could ever find its way into production, it is rumored that the 5.0-liter V-10 making at least 450 horsepower can power all four wheels through Acura Super Handling AWD system. We expect a price in the low six figures, putting the car head to head with the Lexus LF-A in a test for future comparison.

Gorenchem, Netherlands, February 2008 - automobile design and building firm Ugur Sahin technical design announced plans to build a Corvette Z03 Chevrolet Corvette supercar concept right. The vehicle will be built in limited production of only 100 units that use the platform of the world famous Corvette Z06 and have a redesigned body of carbon fiber. Rebodied further out, no change in the power plant, suspension and interior.
Ugur Sahin Design, which was founded in the summer of 2007 by Axel van Mourik and Ugur Sahin is positioning the company's partners more expensive and coachbuilder capable of producing a limited edition vehicles utilizing existing manufacturers chassis. Manufacturers platform is currently under review additional design projects include Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Bentley.
For the team of Ugur Sahin Design Corvette C6 chassis rolling is presented as the ideal platform to start working. Partner, Axel van Mourik had this to say that it is a chassis that has proven to be a very competitive package on public roads and more on the professional circuit, with wins in the American Le Mans Series and Le Mans 24 hours in terms of influence of design, the designer Ugur Sahin car as a designer, the most important goal of this project was to be able to determine the appropriate balance between past and current design language of the Corvette brand. After studying the brand identity and history of the Corvette, which was able to create a final feeling was clearly the fundamental principles of the project.
You can take the concept design to reality the company has organized a team of innovative partners like Flybrid Systems (Winner of the Innovation Motorsports labor market engine 2007), Modes Design (technical studies and engineering), Fischer Motorsports (fiber production carbon and fine-tuning of the engine) and Kirkham Motorsports (aluminum body and panel production). In addition to expertise in automotive legend and former Corvette chief engineer Dave McLellan had a role in the management consulting Ugur Sahin Design of production, limited edition Corvette Z03.
In terms of performance, replacing body panels with stock carbon fiber parts, there is a weight reduction of about 100 pounds. The vehicle will have three performance packages available ranging from 500 to 750 horsepower. The above package is equipped with oil Tial / Garret dual liquid-cooled, lubricated ceramic bearing turbochargers combined with a revolutionary engine, Motec electronic management system. More detailed specifications of the engine and transmission components will be published shortly. All aspects of the customization of the vehicles will be selected by the customer including custom mixed paint, improved treatment, including the inside of the gauges, dashboard, created custom Recaro seats and more. Home improvements are an important part of the vehicle.
Information on prices and availability announced in March. The first production vehicles has been submitted to the U.S. market in late 2008.

At a development cost in the neighborhood of $ 3 million, the GT90 was certainly worth drawing style elements from the original Ford GT, and although it was never intended for production, was built according to a press release from Ford as a test bed "with the technology, engineering and design concepts, and driver-focused, which can potentially be used in the production of Ford vehicles."
Officially presented to the public in January 1995 at the Detroit Motor Show, the GT90 is finished bright white and blue interior carbon fiber. In the mid-engine V12 quad-turbo, which produces about 720 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it was claimed top speed of 253 mph, which is still by today's standards would make it one of the fastest car in the world - even faster than the McLaren F1, which was widely considered the world's preeminent super-time machine.
A small specialized team of more than Ford's SVT little more than six months, the temporal development concept was very narrow and therefore the shares borrowed from other vehicles. The team mainly borrowed from other parts of the super car, which was also well ahead of its time, the Jaguar XJ220.
The engine, which was 48 and six-liter V12 valves had to be combined with four T2 Garrett turbocharger systems to comply with its 720 horsepower and estimated based on the Ford Modular engine. Created with pieces of two V8 engines Lincoln, engineers remove the last pair of cylinder rear engine and the first pair of rollers in the front of the engine. The engines were cut and welded with the end result is a 90-degree V12, which used a 90.2 mm bore and stroke of 77.3 mm for maximum power.
The GT90 is the gearbox FFD-Ricardo five-speed manual available on the XJ220 and, given the torque load that is designed for management, is seen to have a relatively slight shift quality. Also taken from the XJ220 is about double wishbone suspension has been designed to allow the car to handle and high speed.
Using Ford's new philosophy of "Edge" design, combined with the mixture of advanced automotive technology flat planes, angles, glass and triangular in shape, apparently, all colliding with each other. GT90 was the first car created a new design directive Ford, who has left the responsibility for the creation of other Ford products, like the Ka and Cougar. The effect is impressive and wonderfully executed setback style to his predecessor, GT40, which is at the same time remain true to its heritage, but to recognize the modern design. Taken directly from the racing-car technology GT90 body panels are molded in carbon fiber, a body made out of aluminum honeycomb monocoque section.
GT90 is a test platform for advanced technology and design. Sport colored, laminated bubble over the cockpit and the rear spoiler, which rises from the overhead at high speed. According to Ford, it is a "sealed design of mechanical, without wasting space, high-tech lighting and blind spots, and the positioning of the tiles as the spacecraft points to protect the exhaust pipe of the V12."
The car's interior can be easily accessed by holding a small yellow sign located on the B-pillar, which allows the door to open. Surprisingly for a supercar, it is relatively easy climb to the cockpit, the threshold is low and narrow, and the arches of the roof glass and attached to the door. Reminiscent of an aircraft cockpit, the interior is finished in blue suede and leather, carbon fiber center console and custom indicators in blue. A lot of polished and brushed aluminum adorns the interior, the door opened and the links are moved from the center console controls for the car key.
Ford engineers added some options, which are designed for use in the display circuit, the tires were specially made for "GT90" directly affected by the tread, and the doors and all internal and external lights, could easily be opened or power via remote control.
After its presentation in Detroit, has been running the circuit GT90 Car Show in 1995, to travel around the world as far away as Frankfurt and Tokyo. And a few more times between the presentation, the car had recently been sent to Europe is on display in 2008, Ford of Europe exhibition, the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After returning home, the car transported to Alabama, where he was exposed as part of the forty-fifth anniversary of the Mustang.

Ford GTX1 is the dream of a man, Kip Ewing, a Ford SVT engineering supervisor. Kip had designed the convertible version of the Ford GT on a mat using the 1966 Sebring winning Ford GTX1 roadster as his inspiration - hence the name.
Ewing took a 1:18 scale die-cast model of the Ford GT and modified it, first by cutting the roof and remodeling regular car with mastic. He finished it off with a paint shop. He used this model to convince the higher powers that his project was possible. GTX1 Ewing talks about design history.
"I spent my education between engineering and fine arts, but my career was engineering," said Ewing. "To be able to do my design work recognized in a show is something I've wanted all my life."
GTX1 is not only a great concept, some clever engineer went to the multi-roof mounting.
GTX1 The roof system consists of four individual hard panels. These panels can be configured as a coupe, T-top, or full convertible. The panels are painted the same yellow with silver stripes Valencia tungsten covering the entire car. Therefore, when the car is configured as a coupe, it does not lose its attractive design, a problem with most convertibles. All panels on the roof of the Ford GTX1 stored properly in the car, which means that if a sudden summer rain begins to stay dry, but not for long.
Genaddi Design Group, a Wisconsin coachbuilder based on the experience of cutting the roofs off expensive and exotic cars, was chosen to build the car.
Ford GTX1 was presented at the 2005 SEMA show, one of the Premier Automotive products trade event in the world.
