Ferrari - F430 Evoluzione


This is not the first Ferrari tuned by Nocitec. Not even the first F430, but is a special one. The “Evoluzione” word means that the “stock” Novitec Ferrari F430 was upgraded. The car has now 20hp plus, so the engine develops 656hp, almost like Enzo. The German tuner managed to thi by revising the compressor and updating the engine management system. The Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor manage a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) time in 3,7 sec while maximum speed is 216mph - 348 km/h.
For the brakes NOVITEC use Brembo brake assembly with 380mm metal brake disks in front and in the back, with 6-pistons at the front axle and rear axle.
The chassis is upgraded with KW high-grade steel - thread chassis sport (two-way adjustable), and sport stabilizers.
The aerodynamics are improved with the front apron, the tail diffuser, and the tail wing supersport.
The carbon is used at the engine compartment lining, carbon engine compartment exhaust lattice, tail lamp set in black, side turn signals in black.
The leather interior is two-colored Alcantara with sport seats supersport performance, steering wheel supersport, aluminum pedal set with driver and front seat passenger footrest.

Renault - Megane Trophy




The third model in Renault’s line-up at the Paris Auto Show is the Mégane Trophy, a concept that takes its inspiration from the lines of new Megane Coupe.
Under its composite outer skin, new Megane Trophy features the same mechanicals as the current car, including an FIA-homologated sports-prototype tubular chassis, a mid-rear V6 3.5 24V engine, a semiautomatic gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddle shift, double wishbone suspension with adjustable dampers and 18-inch wheels and Michelin tires.
A new inlet manifold, which is fed by roof-mounted air-ducts, has taken engine power from 330 to 360hp. Renault claims that the aerodynamic gains and the extra power output of the V6 3.5 24V engine will enable new Megane Trophy to lap in times similar to those of a Porsche GT3.
To all those who are drooling over this now, remember even if the Trophy does make it to production, Renault is still keeping its hand out of the North American market.

Maserati - GT





I’m very glad to publish a post on a car which takes place in my template. At the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, Maserati had unveiled a replacement for the current Maserati Coupe/Spider. The GT will go on sale in early 2008 at an estimated price of $110.000. Maserati is considering the new GT a competitor for the Porsche’s latest 911 models and Mercedes SL.
The initial model will be a classic coupe but featuring the same rear seats from the 612 Scaglietti. Later, in 2009, a Spyder version it is also expected that will be a coupe-cabriolet with folding hardtop and only two seats.
The Maserati GT is designed by the Italian design house Pininfarina and will be a mixture of modern and classic Maserati. The chief designer is the man behind the 599 GTB and P4/5, Jason Castriota.
The GT’s engine is based on the Ferrari’s 4.2-liter V-8, the same used in Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. The engine range will include a 4.3 liter V8, a 5.0 liter V8 engine producing 470 bhp (a bored-up 4.2). Also a V6 Biturbo (approx. 400 bhp) based on the new V6 of the Alfa Romeo 159 is being considered. The Spyder version will be offered with a 5.0 liter V8 engine. The 0 to 60 mph will be made in 4.2 seconds and will have a top speed of 192 mph.
Thus, I think this post will be help full for you to know about Maserati GT. Don’t go anywhere, update has begun…
