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).
