Nissan GT-R with tech ATTESA E-TS

Nissan GT-R sedan considered the most bizarre in-class supercar. Just a quick defeat by the Porsche 911 Turbo S when pitted against on one circuit in Germany, the principal of Japan to expand by adding technology ATTESA E-TS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System Electronic Torque Split) at all four wheels which adopts a motion all-wheel drive (all wheel drive). Technology itself is not new for Nissan and Infiniti.

Nissan was curious about the performance of the GT-R a little below the Porsche 911 Turbo S. In fact, they both have the power 530 HP engine 6-cylinder turbo-double and double clutch transmissions. With that similarity, when accelerate from 0-100 km per hour, the GT-R needed 3.5 seconds, 0.2 seconds while its competitor more quickly. It may be because the GT-R weighs 150 kg heavier.

Another factor, which BorgWarner dual clutch transmission on Nissan, when the shift takes 200 milliseconds. While the Porsche with the gearbox MDD only 8 milliseconds.

Now, to overcome the shortage, the Nissan engineers try to add ATTESA E-TS. For the version of the GT-R which uses two parallel coupling as in front-engine, ATTESA E-TS has been in custom. With this enhancement, when the car in a stationary state, the system sends 2 percent of the available torque to the front wheels and 98 percent to the rear wheels.

When the car road, flat torque was shared 50:50. This is thanks to the use of multiple sensors (four in the ABS brakes, three in the G sensor, girbok and engine ECU) and UFO technology from Nissan. As usage of these two coupling as an almost parallel. Power is sent to the front wheels in particular through the open differential.

If one front wheel (it will spin faster than a flat on the asphalt) while maneuvering around the corner, tires that will brake automatically. Thus, the sensor that controls all four wheels, depending on driving.

New Car Carrera GTS: Most Hot In The Porsche 911

This new family of the Porsche 911, the Carrera GTS. Greatness, a more sporty character due to use of the Carrera engine modifications again. The result, Carrera GTS counted as the most hot when encouraged than 911 other family members.

Not enough? Porsche also widened the track or the distance of front and rear wheel departure. The result, this sports car more stable and syuur time driving and testing the balls used.

To make the attraction more aggressive, GTS was given a Boxer engine, six-cylinder 3.8-liter, and direct injection. Previously, the machine is also used on the Carrera S is modified again to produce an increase of 23 PS 408 PS.

Other positive results, the maximum torque of 420 Nm at 4200 rpm to get 200 rpm or below the Carrera S. All material was obtained from the manufacture of special resonance in the suction channel. With it all, the fuel consumption of 10.2 liters for the distance of 100 km or 9.8 km / liter.

Porsche claims that the roar of voices was heard on the car thanks to the unique structure of the exhaust pipe is specially designed. To emphasize its sporty appearance, exhaust tip is made with two-two formation.

To move the engine power to the wheels, Porsche relies on manual six speed transmission (standard). Nevertheless, transmission was also offered seven doppelkupplungsgetriebe acceleration with Sport Chrono Plus package and that could make this car sprint 0-100 km / h in 4.2 seconds. With manual transmission, 0-100 km / h in just 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 306 kilometers / hour.

GTS motion of the rear wheels is 44 mm wider than the Carrera 4 (4 x 4). Not only that, but also a wider range of departure for using RS Spyder wheels black-clad 19-inch tires 235/35 ZR19 front and 305/30 ZR19 at the rear.

The figure GTS are easily distinguished by the use of the tip of a black front spoiler, bumper design and new sideskirt, GTS logo on the door, and rear engine cover. Cabin mostly black coated high-quality Alcantara leather.

GTS will be shown in Paris with two models, kupe and kabriolet. In Europe, he began to be sold in December, while in the United States beginning early next year. GTS will be offered 103 100 dollars (kupe) and 112 900 U.S. dollars (kabriolet)

New Bentley Continental GT 2011

Overview difficult to distinguish between this latest Bentley Continental GT with its predecessor. Moreover, the front face, like the grille and the matrix model dual round headlamps, the same shape. Even into the lower grille. The same can also be seen in the back, especially in light combinations. Any changes or new things visible when the exterior of this car be considered carefully. But certainly, Bentley retains exclusive design philosophy basically-with typical British aristocrat - spiced with contemporary style of modern design products.

Sepatbor front is now more muscular impression became part of headlight that connect homes with larger grille. The main lights are surrounded Daytime running LED gives a modern impression. Taillight enhanced with inspiration from the Bentley Mulsane with new combinations, each side forming two ellipses (top and bottom).

With a wider track, making it more stable British supercar. His ability was encouraged 0-100 in 4.6 seconds kpj with the ability to reach a top speed of 318 kpj and combined fuel consumption of 6.1 kilometers / liter

Dragger GT Supercar Fastest

What is the fastest and largest supercar power in the world today? Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Murcielago, Pagani or Koenigsegg. Ever heard Dragger (Dagger) GT! Perhaps, this is the fastest supercar with PS and power 2000 exceeds the maximum speed of 400 km / hr.

The concept of this car from the Cheetah Corvette with the main objective, namely to break the record in all aspects. Includes shot of the fastest in the straight road, particularly at the Nurburgring, Germany.

Dagger GT Twin Turbo equipped machines from aluminum-powered 2000 PS and 2710 Nm of torque to bring the body is made of carbon fiber material. TranStar Mendeola transmission using a 6-speed.

If it is not believed to be the fastest Dagger, here's the proof. for acceleration 0-100 km / h is achieved in just 1.5 seconds. As for the distance of miles or 250 meters seperampat carved 6.7 seconds. Want to know the maximum speed? Can reach 483 km / hr.

The price, an estimated 450 000 U.S. dollars. Initial production of only 10 units in 2011 and handed over to buyers in 2012.

The new Jaguar RSR racing car makes its European debut this week at the 2010 Autosport International at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. It is the first and only chance for the public to see the stunning new XKR GT in the metal before it heads back to the US to compete in the entire 2010 American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in North America.

The competition car uses the standard Jaguar XKR lightweight aluminum monocoque together with additional steel reinforcements and safety structure developed by RSR. The 5.0-litre V-8 engine boasts 550 horsepower at 7000 rpm and a maximum speed of 180mph.

The Jaguar RSR XKR GT made its racing debut during the Petit Le Mans event at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, in September 2009. The car took its first green flag in the American Le Mans Series season finale at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in October and is set for a full-season championship effort in 2010.

Mike O'Driscoll, managing director of Jaguar Cars said: "Our designers and engineers have taken the best of our standard road-going XKR and with Paul Gentilozzi's motorsport expertise created a first-class competition car. Paul and his RSR team are confident that they can compete against some serious competition in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS).
