Facelifted Mercedes CL AMG


Mercedes revealed new information about its facelifted CL63 AMG and CL65 AMG.

As the standard CL, and AMG versions get changed grille, modified bumpers and upgraded headlights. Other exterior features include LED fog lamps, 20-inch wheels, and AMG exhaust system.

Inside the body gets leather upholstery, heated and vented front seats, steering wheel, new instrument panel (with a timer as for racing) and soft interior lighting. Technological features include GPS navigation, audio system with a visokogoviritelya, DVD / CD changer with six CD and 8-inch display system COMAND

CL63 AMG sets of twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine with a power of 537 hp and torque of 800 Nm. That engine is mated to seven-SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission, and the result is acceleration to 100 km / h for 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 250 km / h (electronically limited).

As for the CL65 AMG, he retained a 6-liter V12 engine with 621 hp power and torque of 999 Nm. In the case of Mercedes have chosen to lay down here on a five-speed transmission SPEEDSHIFT. This allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h for 4.2 seconds and rises 300 km / h (electronically limited again).

Few audience Bulgaria Rally


First Rally "Bulgaria", part of the world championship calendar in 2010, opened with a ceremonial start at the city stadium Iskar in Samokov. Nearly 4000 people attended the ceremony, beginning at the seventh set of rallies in the championship.

The best pilots in the world were welcomed by the President of ASN and Vice Chairman of the Organizing Committee George Yanakiev and Minister of Physical Culture and Sports Svilen Neykov.

Previously, six times world champion Sebastian Ozhie (Fr), his team mate Daniel Sordo Citroen Sports, F1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen (Citroen Junior Team) and pilots Ford Abu Dhabi World Rally Team Mikko Hirvonen and Jari-Matti Latvia gave autographs to run against the barbed wire at the crowd of fans sworn.

It should be noted that so-called Ceremonial start in Samokov garnered less than half the spectators present for the demonstration of Loeb and Sordo's Square last Sunday Knyaz Alexander Battenberg First "in the capital.

Today the competition includes four special stages (total length of 118.68 kilometers). They start with the longest leg speed - Batak (31.77 km) which is run twice. Her start is 10:05 pm Between the first two special stages (Batak Dam Belmeken - 27.57 km) has a 30-minute car service Airport Dolna Banya), then both stages will be driven again.

BMW M3 will directly burn tires power


Tuning fever seems to be captured and experts Emotion Wheels. Most popular with work on the design of the wheels, the company now has decided to expand your horizons a little, and on this occasion, developing a new comprehensive tuning package. Indeed, evidence of the intentions of Emotion Wheels is also a previous kit, for Audi Q5.

The newest model, which will pass through Slumber of Emotion, a BMW M3 (E92). Under normal conditions, this compartment can be found in atmospheric 4-liter V8 engine that produces power of 414 hp "Is this enough - however you say on Emotion. On this occasion they have decided to install 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which is generally used in the BMW X5 M and X6 M. For the information of those who are not familiar - the said unit has an impressive 547 hp

After some changes to the engine and after placement of modified sports exhaust system are able to Emotion targets 707 hp excavator of this beast. As word has happened before, when there is an increase in power must be available and appropriate modifications so that the car can handle it. As a result of Emotion are "touched" small chassis and suspension.

At this stage no evidence of any dynamic performance, but given the fact that the standard M3 accelerates to 100 km / h for 4.8 seconds, the tuned model should be significantly faster. Otherwise, there are optical tuning by including entering hood made of carbon fiber, new side skirts and 19-inch matte black alloy wheels Wasabi.

To be released price data and availability of the new package.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class direct adrenaline in the blood


Daimler prepare an entirely new Mercedes-Benz C-Class DR 520, which however will be only for the British market. Based on S63 AMG, a special edition to receive 60 k.s.poveche standard AMG. As a result, the new compact sedan boasts a substantial 520 hp and torque of 650 Nm.

Accordingly, the car comes in two versions, such as sedan is capable of speeds up to 100 km / h 4.1 seconds for a station wagon - for 0.1 seconds more. Both cars are electronically limit the top speed but not 250 km / h and 300 km / h. Otherwise, since the model is based on the AMG, it logically includes the AMG Performance Pack Plus, by including sweeping new pistons, new crankshaft and upgraded brakes with red calipers. It gets to the sedan and carbon spoiler.

There is an interesting point - AMG Performance Pack Plus generally adds about 30 hp, but hp and 60, as stated in the press release. On this occasion, probably C-Class DR 520 gets something should be referred to as AMG Performance Pack Plus, Plus or something.

As regards the interior, then there are sports seats upholstered in leather and Alcantara, the special atmosphere is enhanced by contrast stitching on them. Otherwise, the same materials are used also for the dashboard and door panels. There is a steering wheel and AMG Performance.

So far not mentioned, but the new C-Class DR 520 will be limited, and only 20 pieces. All of them will be sold through Mercedes-Benz World in Brukland, Surrey, England. Accordingly, the model is available in matte or black or matte white. Wheels, grille and emblems, however, are coated with titanium.

Adding a name to the car will cost 9995 pounds over the standard C 63 AMG. Accordingly, the sedan would cost 62,430 pounds, a station wagon - 63 680.

Pale is the new black, considered by Mercedes


Customers in Canada will have the chance to choose between a new palette of matte colors when purchasing model Mercedes-Benz. Designed to minimize scratches and injuries on the surface of the car (that provide a little more exotic types), matte finish (here shown in option Allanite Grey), called MAGNO, available for almost all models of Mercedes design through program the company or by special order.

In addition, representatives of the model 2011, which are customized through a program Designo Mercedes, will be offered in Allanite Grey, Cashmere White and Platinum.

"Possession of Mercedes-Benz is for personal style" - said the head of Mercedes Marcus Braytshverd to Canada. 'Designo Program allows customers to choose between thousands of exclusive configurations, distinctive colors and maximum quality materials so as to create a car that meets their own individual taste and preferences. "

Proposed to individualize cars through that program include CL, E, G, M, S, SL and SLS AMG. Otherwise, other features offered through the program in question include additional proposals in relation to leather interior.

And while the former interior configurations were Deep Black Piano Lacquer, Fine Wood Glossy, Labrador Blue, Natural Stone and Star Galaxy, it now has several new choices: Bamboo, Curly Maple, Tamo and Olive. The company's leather range is available in Deep White, Jet Black, Light Brown and Platinum White.

Latest Designo program options are already available for orders. . .

A more powerful version of the BMW M5 and M6 - as with last V10


To celebrate the withdrawal (ie actually "killing") of its V10 engine designed for the BMW M-models, Nowack Motors decided to reveal a special modified M5.

Called N635S 5.8 Hans Nowack Edition (not very easy name to remember), the engine has two specific air manifold, which are colored so as to match the exterior color. Furthermore, the car is equipped with tuned ECU. More importantly, the company is replacing all the internal engine components with specially-made sports equivalents. This allows the 5-liter V10 producing 708 hp power While at this stage no additional sports performance, it probably N635S 5.8 Hans Nowack Edition will at least accelerate to 100 km / h faster than you can say his name.

As in the case just a matter of tuning the engine, all current M5 and M6 models can be overturned in N635S 5.8 Hans Nowack Edition. But because each unit has practically brand new after this procedure, it offered the company a 12-month warranty without any restriction hover kilometers.

BMW M5 down from production


BMW is officially ended production of the present generation of the BMW M5, designated as E60. That model was in production for five years. Accordingly, the fourth generation M5 is produced in total 20,548 units, as most of them are sedans.

Accordingly, however, are constructed units of 1025 BMW M5 Touring, as the station wagon was marketed in 2007.

E60 M5 comes with a 5-liter V10 gasoline engine providing 509 hp power and torque of 520 Nm. Combined with the SMG transmission, seven-or six-speed manual, the vehicle is capable of speeds up to 100 km / h for 4.2 seconds. And although in theory could lift M5 337 km / h, the maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h.

Otherwise, from BMW will probably begin to modify its factory in Dingolfind, Germany, to prepare it for a proizvodstovoto F10 M5. The fifth generation of the M5 is expected to get 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, also used for the X5 M and X6 M. Perhaps it will be reconfigured so that it provides power of 570 hp and torque of 680 Nm.

Bugatti break speed record



The most powerful Bugatti - Veyron Super Sport, broke the world speed record for production car during the official presentation of the car on the track of Volkswagen in Germany. Supercar managed to lift 431 km / h before the strict eyes of the people of the Book of Guinness Records.

The first 5 copies of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has been sold for 1.434 million euros each. The company did not specify how many cars will be made yet.

So far, Bugatti has disposed of 260 "normal" model Veyron, one of which is owned by a Bulgarian businessman Rumen Gaytanski and 35 Convertible Grand Sports.

Fastest vehicle in the world, however, will be released to customers with electronic speed limit of 415 km / h, because over this indicator is likely to tire burst.

During the two main track mileage in Germany Bugatti Veyron Super Sport track record of maximum speed of respectively 427.933 km / h and 434.211 km / h and the average score was 431.072 km / h.

Super Sport has a W16 engine with 1200 horsepower deadly maximum power and 1500 Nm of torque.

World premiere of the Veyron Super Sport will be held at the Pebble Beach competition in August, while production will commence in autumn this year.

Joss JP1


It seems that Australia has gone one step closer to that of the world to offer its own supercar. This conclusion came after by Joss Developments announced that they have reached agreement with the supplier of transmissions, and it is currently working on a new agreement for the supply of the JP1 project powered by a European company.

"Our goal is to go on sale from mid or late 2011. We are currently working on 18-month development program "- says Matt Thomas, technical director Joss Developments to carsguide.com.au. "We go with a pretty good test of chassis engineering. The goal is to have two working prototypes by early next year. They will be called JP1 - by Joss Prototype 1. "

Superavtomobilat average driver will use a transmission that is manufactured in Australia from Albins. That gearbox will be able to cope with very high levels of power and torque, so in practice will be comfortable and track experiences - in fact very important fact because Joss Developments in a long time have certain fantasies associated with motor sports, but now may eventually become a reality.

"We would like to tear the bonds of this should be a small Australian company. In this case, not to mention a single supercar. We want to be successful and reliable company supercars. We want to include in all of this very innovative idea - again said Matt Thomas said before the release.

Joss JP1 was presented for the first time at the Melbourne Motor Show in 2004. From digging stress that they plan to use V8 engines, although they are willing and six-cylinder engine. Superavtomobilat will initially be released as a limited edition in Australia will offer only 25 units.

Positive sides of Chip-tuning

First I will say that the pleasure of driving is unmatched. It's as if your new, powerful car.

High-speed characteristics facilitate the process of governance in the city.

On the road with heavy traffic making for a great opportunity for a sharp acceleration which leads to easily advance.

Always leads to reduced fuel consumption as odd as that sounds.

How does Chip-tuning of the various types of engines?

Atmospheric engines. Experience shows that when they increase power and torque is within 5-10%. This applies equally well for both petrol and diesel engines.

Turbine engines. This type of turbine engines allow pumping of large amounts of fuel mixture, and hence achieve more power. In the case of power and torque can be increased by 20-25%.

Resource engine after Chip-tuning is one of the most frequently asked questions. Opponents of tuning are of the opinion that with the increase in reducing power resource of the engine and leads to intensive wear it. Main engine wear depends behind the steering device (driver). The point is that everyone has their own style of riding. If the driver knows only two positions of the throttle the engine it will wear uniform as possible with or without tuning it. The thing is that if the driver uses the rational beauty of Chip-tuning of the engine resource it would be different from the standard.

The most important features that optimize the process of Chiptuninga

- Control of ignition - the fuel to be used effectively it must be calculated at all times the best moment of ignition, depending on speed, load, temperature and other signals at controlled diesel engines - the optimal pressure of fuel injected.

- Control of injections - in relation to the quantity of air, speed, load and other collective factors, the electronics calculate the time required for ignition and the amount of fuel mixture. This ensures the reduction of fuel consumption, reduce emissions and increase engine power.

- Control of pressure - in turbo engines, additional pressure is calculated to increase the usefulness of the above calculations explained.

ECU and benefits

ECU is mainly composed of one or more small microcomputer which is responsible for regulating the engine. Microcomputer control program that is stored in memory (EPROM / Flash). ECU is responsible for managing and controlling the entire engine, verify, manage and adjust all the important features of the car / engine. This is consistent with the dependence of the load of the engine speed and surrounding conditions (outdoor temperature, air density and temperature of the engine ...). All this is possible thanks to information received from multiple sensors that are capable of measuring pressure, temperature, speed, speed and quantity of air with very high accuracy. ECU then reads pre-stored values of the fuel mixture, ignition, pressure lamda probe, etc. .. In this way all the time to calculate the optimal ignition timing, the optimum amount of fuel in combination with appropriate pressure.

All this information is optimized in the process of Chiptuning. This means that the parameters of the fuel mixture and pressure are measured throughout the range of engine speed, calculated and optimize the characteristics of the engine load / speed in its smallest details. This is done in such a way that reaching maximum power and torque possible without shortening engine life and achieve the highest possible fuel economy. Accordingly, a detectable increase in power and more torque. The improvement in power and torque is feasible by 20-30% for turbo engines and 8-12% in normal engines with fuel injection, which causes noticeable improvement in acceleration, agility and maximum speed. The engine will be more agile and powerful, but his time of life will be under the servicing requirement.

Pagani a second more compact model


New Pagani model with V8 engine may be under development. At this stage it is only rumor, which was launched by the company founder Horacio Pagani.

In an article for the British magazine Evo Pagani said he would like his company to market and lighter model that is more compact compared Zonda (C9 and its successor).

If it comes to designing his car will be twice as expensive to costing one million euros Zonda. Perhaps it will hit the market in 2015 and possible production levels are 500 units per year. Just for reference - Zonda currently produced in 40 copies a year.

Pagani stresses that the design of the car can be based on that of Pagani C9, which is to be released later this year. C9 will generally use the 6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine of AMG, a price will be around 900,000 euros.

Sportec SP580 Porsche 997 Turbo



By Sportec created a new package called Sportec 997 Turbo SP580 and designed for Porsche 997.

Swedish engineers tuning company increased the power of 500 hp car 580 hp

If some of these numbers seem familiar, it's because of Sportec already developed with the same power envelope, called SP580 (as the name is logical and power down). The value of the maximum torque of the new car is slightly lower, but at least the same as the facelift version of the standard Porsche 997 Turbo.

After the change model achieves acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h only 3.2 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h - in 10.3 seconds. Able to develop a maximum speed of 323 km / h. Accelerations in the old and new version are identical, but the old can lift 338 km / h.

Tuners are fitted Sportec 997 Turbo SP580 with specially made 20-inch alloy wheels. Aero kit, designed for the model includes a front spoiler, large rear wing and side skirts (these features are also part of a package of improvements designed for the standard Porsche 997 Turbo).

SSC Ultimate Aero


In principle, one of the most interesting criteria by which to compare modern cars, the maximum speed. Eventually one of the things that cars must wear a pleasure. . . But some just love it in excessive quantities, while others (companies) like to boast that they have contributed to this peculiar ecstasy.

Thus we think to introduce you to the next story in the car, namely SSC Ultimate Aero. The most interesting is that a representative of this model can be found in Bulgaria, is owned pharmaceutical trader Veselin Mareshki. More interesting is that basically it's the fastest car at the moment. . .

SSC Ultimate Aero is an American supercar with a mid-engined and designed by Shelby SuperCars. He has more powerful and highly limited edition, called the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, it is even more hardcore than the standard specification. The model achieves a maximum speed of 411 km / h, it was recorded during tests on September 13, 2007 in Richland, Washington, Washington. Subsequently they have been verified by the Guinness Book of, so everything is official. Specific element here is that no real Ultiamate Aero relies on any electronic aides such as ABS brakes and traction control.
Aero and Shelby SuperCars are "offspring" of Dzherad Shelby (which has nothing to do with the popular Carroll Shelby automobile design). Originally Dzherad began to make duplicates of supercars, including Ferrari F355 and Lamborghini Diablo. Diablo project has been developed, however, since the platform was subsequently used for the development of SSC Ultimate Aero. As became clear later enterprising American refusing the creation of lines and began to develop its first own supercar. Only after seven years, the project began to yield form. And although the base model Aero no longer being manufactured, Ultimate Aero, it continues to be offered at a price of around 650,000 dollars.

Prototype SSC Ultimate Aero SC/8T # 001 e precisely constructed chassis through duplicate Lamborghini Diablo, it is equipped with twin-turbocharged engine borrowed from the Corvette C5R. That engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox G-64, which otherwise do enjoy a Dodge Viper. The car weighs 1,270 kg, sold by the auction Barett-Jackson Palm Beach in 2008. Its price is 189,000 dollars.
And while the prototype is 2004, then in 2006 the project now has a little more finished. The style of the car relies on the Lift-up doors, which reminds of proven players like Mercedes McLaren SLR, Saleen S7, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and the Ferrari Enzo. Quite thoroughly used carbon fiber and titanium, which allows the mass of the car to be reduced to 1293 kg. In this line of thinking was rumored that the Ultimate Aero TT will actually be a little more "stripped down version of the basic Aero, with only very limited (including without air conditioning). It turned out however, that the rumors were unfounded.

The engine in base model V8 with Aero is a compressor, again borrowed from the Chevrolet. It provides power of 1062 hp (More famous Bugatti Veyron) at 6600 rpm and torque of 1357 Nm at 5800 rpm. Ultimate Aero receives an engine capacity of 6.34 liters, and in addition has increased the pressure. As a result, power jumps to 1147 hp at 6950 rpm and torque - at 1113 Nm at 6200 rpm.
Air tests in specially designed tunnel show that the Ultimate Aero can in theory accelerate to 439 km / h - but in ideal settings of the transmission. With the available maximum speed gearbox can reach "only" 418 km / h. As regards the basic Aero, he raised about 380 km / h. Ultimate Aero accelerates to do 100 km / h to 2.78 seconds - less than Bugatti Veyron, which does the same exercise for 2.46 seconds (this is partly due to the fact that it has AWD

Subsequently appeared specification in 2007, then as the base engine in the Aero is the same. Ultimate Aero is already a unit volume of 6.35 liters, output of 1183 hp and torque of 1483 Nm it (at 6150 rpm). The previous compressor had already been replaced by two turbochargers. The car is scheduled for 91-octane fuel. Transmission is set to do that in theory Ultimate Aero could lift 427 km / h.

Rim of the base model are 18-inch front and 19-inch rear, while the Ultimate Aero TT were higher with 1 inch.

Interestingly, the 2007 models are heavier, the base model has a mass of 1293 kg, and Ultimate - 1250 kg. Unlike the previous year's models now have the basic navigation system, 10-channel audio / CD / DVD system, rear view camera, air conditioner, and even less space in the trunk. All this however is an option in Ultimate.

The first serial Ultimate Aero TT was sold on eBay for 431,100 dollars. In the period from 2006 to 2007 were sold only 24 copies of it as the official premiere was in November 2006.
As for the latest on this car, it with its latest specification Ultimate Aero has 15% more power and in theory should have a top speed of 470 km / h. Sixth gear is adjusted accordingly for a maximum speed of over 430 km / h. On this occasion of the SSC emphasize that if you find a long enough straight, their car actually could lift 430 km / h. To avoid overheating the engine, the flow of air to it has increased by 20% through new carbon ventilation holes. The front is also slightly amended so as to make the car more aerodynamic. Changes were made in the interior. Interestingly in this model is, however, air brake, in which the rear spoiler rises to a height of 20 cm to have brake

Dagger GT


Dagger GT has the ambition to become the most looming car ever made. Definitely it's quite "ambitious ambition. In 2011 will be produced only five pieces of that model, three of them are already sold. Since the US-based company TranStar emphasize that the design is based on the conceptual model Corvette Cheetah, himself a car should break every record more popular - the highest speed in a straight line to a best time of the Nürburgring.
But how all this is achievable and it is from a company which is not so popular. For starters TranStar Racing have made a list of the best among the automotive industry - from engineers and designers, won awards, the aerodynamics experts from NASA and the designer himself Saleen S7. Thus TranStar team can actually boast that it has the cream of the automotive industry.
Regarding mehnikata TranStar mnogogoriven offer 572 (petrol / methanol / hydrogen / ethanol) twin-turbocharged racing engine, borrowed from Nelson Racing Engines (creators of the monster Mosler Red Devil with a capacity of 1800 hp). Same model can be praised for its incredible power of 2000 hp and a torque of 1710 Nm. That fearsome monster and time is transmitted to the wheels through six-speed transmission of TranStar / Mendeola.
Dynamic indicators remain still fantastic: acceleration to 100 km / h start with a place for 1.5 seconds elapse quarter mile in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 483 km / h. Karoseriyaa is made of carbon fiber, while the internal structure consists of extremely strong steel chassis.
These strictly limited five cars can be ordered in three versions - a hardcore racer, road sport version, and convenient uksozen GT-X model, which combines both speed and comfort.

After those five cars are ready to launch sales - respectively in 2011. In 2012, however, are planned 20 new cars as the price of each of them will be 360,000. . .

What is chip tuning?

What is chip tuning?
Penetration of injected totally changed internal combustion engines. For a more precise operation of the engines have their e-regulation. This regulation is carried out through various electronic sensors of the so-called engine computer (ECU). It hosts the processor that controls all processes and memory which is stored in software management. The very name "chip tuning" in translation means setting the software in memory. By modifying the software that can achieve improvements in power and engine torque, and elimination of various restrictions, factory-set (maximum speed, etc.)..
What can be expected from chip tuning?
For atmospheric engines - increase power and torque to 10%. For turbocharged engines - up to 30%. Besides more power and acceleration through chip tuning is possible and eliminate various types of electronic limiters (eg speed limiter - most 250 km, speed limiter, etc.).. After increasing chip tuning and sensitivity "to the engine throttle. By chip tuning to achieve lower fuel consumption due to improved torque at low engine speeds.
Are changes to the engine?
Optimizing software engine control unit (ECU), requires no other changes to the car. Changing the optimized software is done in three ways depending on the model of ECU-it:
Are changes to the engine?
1. Hardware replacement of memory in the ECU-it

2. Reprogramming of the memory in the console diagnostic (OBD Tuning)

3. Reprogramming the software in the ECU-direct it if it is not possible replacement of hardware support. (BDM tuning).
