Porsche Cayenne Hybrid and Diesel Specs
The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid will be in India abutting year, according to letters in the media. Like its aeon Ferrari (who employs KERS in the accessible F450) and Lamborghini (who ability plonk a agent agent beneath the Estoque’s bonnet) Porsche is acknowledging greener and another fuels and technology.
4-Cylinder ability with V8 performance
2010 Porsche Cayenne S Amalgam boasts of
A Supercharged Audi 3.0-liter V6 agent with DFI Max Power – 333 Bhp , Max Torque – 324 lb-ft
Also able with 52-HP, 3-phase ancillary electric motor that adds 221 lb-ft of torque.
86 mph top acceleration application aloof the electric motor
Porsche showrooms in India accept bristles variants of Porsche Cayenne in action currently. As they are CBUs they amount advancement of 50 lakh, so don’t apprehend the Cayenne amalgam to be bargain or affordable.
India has not apparent any Hybrid SUVs. The extreme exceptional car makers accept gone in India is alms agent models. If the approaching belongs to amalgam vehicles, the aboriginal planning can accord Porsche a arch alpha in India.
Porsche expects a agent Cayenne to addition sales of the Cayenne in particular. What’s more, Porsche expects this agent archetypal to annual for about 80% of the sales of the Cayenne range. This is all addition it a bit- Let me explain why.
Porsche claims a ammunition ability amount of beneath than 10 litres per kilometer of diesel. The German architect says that the agent Cayenne was alien to lower the all-embracing ammunition burning of the Cayenne range. The aberration in the fairytale starts here-how generally accept you appear beyond a ammunition ability amount claimed by the aggregation that has stood in the absolute world? Aloof think..
The agent adaptation is powered by a 3.0L V6 turbo agent agent produced by the Audi-VW accumulation that produces a bashful 240 bhp and 550Nm of torque. (modest compared to the blow of the range). We accept appear to apperceive that the Cayenne will be the alone agent archetypal in the ambit while the Panamera wont get any agent model.
Whatever said, the agent Porsche Cayenne will be accessible at the Indian Porsche dealership this year.
IAB Comment- We apprehend the 500bhp 5.0 V12 TDI from the Q7 TDi in the Cayenne soon.Stay tuned!
The Porsche 918 production road “2015″?
During the Show, and you walked Porsche we asking customers interested in buying a 918 to fill out a letter of intent to acquire a unit. The thing seems to have led, for statements published in Coach Michael Macht, chief of the house in Stuttgart, where he ensures that the precious concept will become the successor to the 959 and the Carrera GT, since the interest has exceeded firm expectations of the manufacturer.
What has left us a bit cold (after the rush of good news) is knowing that things could take five years, bringing the first 918 would tread the asphalt road registered in 2015. Porsche then you should be running (and possibly winning) at Le Mans with its LMP1 hybrid that appears, presumably in 2011 or 2012, so in some ways, this new vehicle “halo” would serve to bring to market the technique wins in the races, see and say a “race tested technology”. Can we wait that long?

Ferrari Enzo 2011
Considered by many enthusiasts as the ultimate modern Ferrari, the limited-edition Enzo’s replacement will be a tough act to follow up for the Italian automaker. The second-generation Enzo, also named after the marque’s illustrious founder, promises to take performance – and, surprisingly, efficiency – to a new level.
Like the original Enzo, the car’s successor will be a range-topping supercar aimed at immortalizing the legendary founder of the brand. Available only to select current Ferrari owners, the next-generation Enzo will serve as the brand’s performance and technology showcase.

2012 Lamborghini Estoque - A Four-Door Bull
What makes the bull run
Mechanically, the front-engine Estoque is unlike either of Lamborghini's current offerings, both of which are mid-engine two-seaters. The Estoque is loosely based on the ASF (Audi aluminum spaceframe) platform shared with the next Audi A8 and Bentley Continental families. For production, an ASF architecture is bound to be the most practical choice in terms of investment, weight savings, and commonality.

For production, an ASF architecture is bound to be the most practical choice in terms of investment, weight savings, and commonality.
A front-mounted engine is a given, and odds favor a twin-turbo V-8. To be on the safe side, the engine bay is just big enough to house Lamborghini's V-10, but that thirsty and expensive engine is more appropriate for a hard-core sports car. The show car's V-8 is derived from the V-10, but for production, Lamborghini is more likely to modify the next A8's new 4.0-liter, direct-injection twin-turbo V-8. Rated at about 420 hp and 400 lb-ft in A8 guise, it would probably get a power and torque boost to 500 hp and 480 lb-ft (although that would still put it behind the 620-hp, Lambo-sourced V-10 in Audi's next S8).
A transaxle would be nice but is difficult to accomplish with four-wheel drive. "Even with the transmission bolted to the engine, we think we can achieve a well-balanced, 55/45 percent weight distribution," states Reggiani. "Instead of the fixed torque split preferred by Audi, I would vote for an active, electronically controlled on-demand system that is even more responsive and progressive."
As for brakes, why look any further than the industry's largest-diameter rotors, which Bentley currently installs on the Continental GT? The Estoque almost certainly will get the same setup, with optional carbon-ceramic discs, of course.
The A8/Bentley architecture also offers a control-arm air suspension, but Lamborghini prefers a more pure (and lighter) approach. "For the Estoque, a more straightforward coil-spring suspension tuned by means of Audi Magnetic Ride or a similar system might be a better solution," says Reggiani.
Lamborghini Reventon
Lamborghini revealed its new Reventon supercar at the Frankfurt auto show in 2007 and a week later in the U.S. at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new Lamborghini Reventon is latest Supercar for the super rich. With a price tag around 1.4 million dollars this car is for an exclusive group of high performance car fans.
Sporting the same stealth fighter-inspired angular bodywork as the standard Reventón that was unveiled two years ago at the same auto show, the new topless Lamborghini will reportedly make use of its all-wheel drive system to help the run to 60 in just 3.4 seconds.

Rolls Royce Phantom VI
The chauffeur of the Lord Mayor of London has been charged with drink-driving in a ceremonial Rolls-Royce.
Michael Dore, 55, was driving Lord Mayor Ian Luder’s £200,000 official Phantom VI when he was stopped by police.
He was breathalysed and his blood was allegedly found to contain 54mg of alcohol per 100ml. The legal limit is 35mg.
Mr Luder was not a passenger in the car at the time of the arrest, although Dore was only a short distance from the Lord Mayor’s historic official residence, Mansion House.
Dore has also been charged with not holding a valid driving licence.
The 6.25-litre Rolls-Royce has been owned by the Lord Mayor’s office since it was bought new in the Eighties.
It is 20ft long, weighs two-and-a-half tons and bears the number plate LM 0. Only 374 were made and the Queen has two in her fleet of cars.
Dore appeared in connection with the alleged offences at the City of London Magistrates’ Court last week and was remanded on bail until next month.
When approached at his £300,000 home in Ashtead, Surrey, Dore said: ‘I am not prepared to talk about this.’
A spokesman for the Lord Mayor’s office said: ‘We cannot comment. This is a matter for the police.’ But a source said that Dore has not been suspended from his post.

Ferarri 430 Spider
The F430 is just about perfect on a road like this. The village recedes in the rearview mirror, you select Race mode, flick the left-hand paddle down twice, and lay rubber. The car is soulful and pure and direct, something you wear as an extension of your body and mind and eyes. It isn't that small, yet it shrinks around you and seems the right size for these narrow passes, whereas something like a Ford GT or a Lamborghini Murcilago-let alone a Ferrari Enzo or a Mercedes SLR McLaren-would feel big and clumsy. There is no lack of pace, however; Ferrari claims the F430 will sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds and go on to a top speed "in excess of 196 mph," which is more than most of us will ever need.
After two hours of maximum attack on these hill roads, you select a friendlier pace for the journey back to Maranello and Ferrari's Fiorano test track, where you get the chance to wring the F430 out without worrying about cars coming the other way or the proximity of the scenery. As the pace drops, you notice that there's plenty of head, leg, and elbow room and decide that the carbon-fiber trim on the center console looks pretty good, even if the optional alloy accents you saw earlier look classier. The instrument binnacle, with a tach in either yellow or red, and the dashboard are new, although you spot carryover stalks and power window lifts.
The steering wheel is not only gorgeous to the touch, but it also looks fabulous. There's a start button on its lower left quadrant and a five-position, anodized-metal switch (the manettino) on the lower right to select the gearshift regime and traction control. Very F1. Ferrari got rid of the lift-up toggle for reverse and replaced it with a simple button, which lives on a slimmer center tunnel. The cabin ambience is businesslike, simple, plain, spare-what you need in a driver's car, without the plethora of buttons that companies such as Porsche have been introducing lately.
At Fiorano, you park in the small paddock, step out, and admire the bright yellow Ferrari on its optional Challenge Stradale wheels. Yes, admire rather than ogle: like the Modena, the F430 is striking yet hardly beautiful. Think Cate Blanchett rather than Charlize Theron.
Although more than 70 percent of the car's components are new, it doesn't look that different from the 360. Ferrari cites the Sharknose 156 F1 car from 1961 as inspiration for the huge nostrils at the front and the 250LM and 196/246SP sports cars from the early 1960s for the intakes over the rear fenders, but the styling is truly dictated by aerodynamic function rather than form. The combination of a new nose, revised engine intakes, a larger rear venturi, and a more pronounced tail spoiler has increased downforce compared with the 360. There is a total of 617 pounds at 186 mph, an improvement of 187 pounds over the 360; at 124 mph, the change is 99 pounds. The drag coefficient of 0.33 is the same.
The basics of the car are unchanged, too. The F430 uses an aluminum spaceframe chassis that is 10 percent heavier than the 360's, but it also has 20 percent better torsional stiffness and is 8 percent better in bending. Ferrari says that improved crash performance is the reason for the extra weight. Overall, the car is 132 pounds heavier than the 360, but the power-to-weight ratio has improved from 7.1 pounds per horsepower to 6.2, thanks to the new, larger engine. Some castings on this 4.3-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V-8 are shared with the Maserati Coupe's, such as the block, but most of it is bespoke, including a single-plane crank. The engine has all the goodies you'd expect, including variable valve timing on intake and exhaust, a dry-sump oil system to lower the crank center line, and a variable intake manifold. (See Techtonics sidebar.) The twin-plate clutch is smaller to minimize inertia (for faster shifting) and to help reduce powertrain height. The F1-style transmission is expected to account for more than 80 percent of sales, but traditionalists can opt for a six-speed manual.
Ferrari 485
The second option is cheaper and if you find a great vinyl the visual effect will be impressive. This camouflage vinyl for the 458 Italia was created by a German company called Cam Shaft which is not specialized in camshafts as their name suggests, but they are experts in vinyl wraps and could offer probably anything to their customers.
They could change the car’s look almost completely by wrapping it in vinyl and they could even modify it’s design by applying bits of vinyl on headlights that would make the car even more unique.

The New 2012 BMW K1600GTL
The BMW K1600GTL’s seated with the world’s lightest and most compact six-cylinder engine in a production motorcycle. Transversely mounted, the 1649cc in-line 6-cylinder engine is comparable in size to a 1000cc 4-cylinder plant. The engine produces 160 horsepower at 7,750 rpm with a maximum torque output of 129 ft/lbs at 5,250 rpm (of which 70% is available at just 1,500 rpm). Surprisingly, due the ability of the 6-cylinder configuration, the BMW K 1600 claims bigger afar per gallon (MPG) than the K 1300 GT.
The GT is advised to awning a lot of ambit in a abbreviate bulk of time. The GTL fills the role as a added ambrosial best for two-up riding, able to bear above abundance while actual almost sporty.
The 2013 Volkswagen BlueSport Car
The Volkswagen has resulted in the dreams of sports cars since 2003 but has yet to make a reality. That may be about to change. Sources say that in Europe the brand’s famous for what is now the world’s third largest automaker will likely add an affordable mid-engined two-seat convertible in standardized BlueSport from 2009 Detroit Auto Show. Just do not rush to your local dealer. Those same sources say that the Roadster VW is not likely to materialize until at least 2012.
The 2013 Volkswagen BlueSport will probably come with electro-hydraulic power steering, an engine stop/start system, and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes with a regenerative function for keeping the battery charged and powering certain accessories. In addition, the car has new feature of the main series will BlueSport Volkswagen 1.6 TSI engine with 220 hp, matched with 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG.
