2010 Wheelsandmore Bentley Continental Ultrasports 702

Wheelsandmore has revealed the custom modifications to the Bentley Continental Supersports. With an output of 630 hp Bentley Continental series Supersports have the most powerful and fastest sportscoupe ever built by Bentley. But Wheelsandmore more thinking and developing the ecu upgrades, combined with one hand, stainless steel exhaust system. With special sportcatalysts, ecu upgrade and remote controlled valve in the cap, which increases power to 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.





As the Bentley Supersports is not only coming with the biggest engine, but also with one of the biggest carbon-ceramic brakes, measuring 16.54 inches, Wheelsandmore got to use all their experience and know how to construct special wheels for perfect handling and outstanding visual appearance. The 3-piece lightweight wheel set is outfitted with “C-Sport” model sizing 10,5×21″ with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres front and rear, wearing an enormous 4,5″ outisde lip in the rear. A special tyre approval allows a giant highspeed at 209 mph. In this case the wheels are painted completely matte black with a red racestripe, but wheelsandmore is able to offer unlimited colour and surface combinations.

Finally the suspension can be switched up and down by using an electronic lowering module from Wheelsandmore called “LowMaXX”, which lifts up the car automatically around 0.79 inches at a speed of 44 mph to recover comfort and safety. More informations at www.wheelsandmore.de

2011 Volkswagen Sharan

Presented at the 80th Geneva International Motor Show last month, the third-generation Sharan is the range of the company's first VP to be designed by Walter de Silva (Group Head of Design), Klaus Bischoff (Brand Chief Designer) is based entirely on DNA array designs new Volkswagen. This new generation of the Volkswagen Sharan for the first time equipped with a sliding door at the back and again be available with four-wheel drive (4Motion Sharan 2.0 TDI with 140PS).





The new Sharan presents four frugal engines. The Sharan’s four direct injection turbo petrol (TSI) and turbo diesel (TDI) engines are up to 21 percent more fuel-efficient! The two TSI engines deliver 110kW / 150PS and 147kW / 200PS, while the TDIs develop 103kW / 140PS and 125kW / 170PS. With power outputs of up to 170PS the engines use a start-stop system and energy recuperation (recovery of kinetic energy, which gets temporarily stored in the battery).

With average consumption of 5.5 litres per 100km (51.4 mpg, 145g/km of CO), the 140PS version of the Sharan 2.0 TDI – top speed 194 km/h (119 mph) – sets a new benchmark for fuel efficiency in this segment of the market! The theoretical driving range is correspondingly impressive: 1,273 kilometres (805 miles) from its 70 litre fuel tank. Both TDIs are also fitted with an SCR catalytic converter (SCR = selective catalytic reduction), which specifically eliminates oxides of nitrogen (NOx). For the first time, all of these Euro-5 engines will be available in combination with Volkswagen’s agile and efficient direct shift gearbox (DSG) systems – the automatics of the new age! In the case of the 200PS TSI, DSG comes as standard.

The new Sharan will be available in three equipment versions: Trendline (base version), Comfortline (mid-level version) and Highline (the most exclusive version). It will be sold in nine different colours. The standard configuration is initially a five-seater. However, there will also be a ‘6-seater pack’ and a ‘7-seater pack’. In addition to the three equipment versions, special options are also available to satisfy customers’ individual demands. Orders for the new Sharan have been placed from as early as the end of March, with the full launch beginning in the summer.

2010 Switzer Performance P800 Nissan GTR

In a race track, the mass is the enemy. This is what has motivated the owners of the Nissan GTR associated with the Ohio-based performance tuning of the Swiss company, asking to reduce the mass of GTR tuner. Less mass means more in the driver can control brake stopping power curve is greater, and better power / weight also means more miles per hour on straight. Performance of the Swiss team started working on the Super Silver GTR 2010, starting with the P800 proved gaming companies, replacing a car intercoolers, intake, and turbochargers with motor components beat Switzerland GTR 800 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque.





In addition, Switzer Performance fitted featherweight carbon rotors from AP, which cut a considerable amount of unsprung weight and rotating mass from each corner of the GTR, while improving fade resistance. Application-specific pads, high-temperature brake fluid (AP), and stainless steel braided brake lines round out the brake package with improved pedal feel and increase stopping power.

Weight was also cut with the addition of a lightweight (ceramic-coated) titanium exhaust system, dry-carbon decklid, and lightweight sports seats from Bride. Up on the scales, Super Silver 2010 GTR weighed in at a much-improved 3600 lbs. This is enough to make a significant impact on handling, braking, and straight-line speed.

Further, to enhance the handling, Switzer Performance provides the Nissan GTR with a fully-adjustable JRZ suspension system complemented by stiffer adjustable sway bars, an underbody diffuser, and an active-aero wing from Aeromotions. Switzer’s P800 and upgraded cooling packages are also available through Switzer dealers. Contact Switzer Performance for more information on this P800 for Nissan GTR as well as its other performance packages.

2010 Ferrari 599 GTO

The 599 GTO, which was built on the foundation 599XX, stating that the car advanced experimental songs, and can be considered almost the street version. The name of the car based on the number of subscribers is expected to reserved 599. One of the most significant innovations in the 599 GTO is a high correlation between the configuration of the chassis, which is located near the boundary handling, and the introduction of electronic controls to be developed to improve overall performance.





ust as significant are the technical specifications – 670 hp in a 1495kg car represents a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp. That ensures acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 3.35 seconds, giving a top speed of over 335 km/h. Benefiting directly from the technological transfer from racing, the 599 GTO set a record lap time at Fiorano in 1’24”.

The 5999 cc 65-degree V12 engine, which complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 standards, punches out 670 CV at 8250 rpm with maximum torque of 620 Nm at 6500 rpm. This result was obtained by working on the fluid-dynamics and components to reduce internal friction and by adopting, amongst other things, the 599XX’s redesigned crankshaft. The engine sound inside the car is carefully controlled to balance the intake sound with the exhaust, which features a 599XX-derived 6-into-1 manifold.

The 599 dry weight is 1495 kg with a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp. Benefiting aerodynamics significantly from Ferrari engineers’ experience in F1 and with the 599XX, the 599 GTO generates downforce of 144 kg at 200 km/h.

The GTO’s front tyres are now 285/30 on a 9.5’’ channel with 315/35 on an 11.5’’ channel at the rear. The 599 GTO has 20’’ rims. The 599 GTO boasts an excellent 100 to 0 km/h braking distance of just 32.5 meters. As well as their role in improving aerodynamics, the Formula 1-derived wheel doughnuts also improve braking efficiency by optimizing brake cooling. The public debut of the 599 GTO will be at the Beijing International Motor Show at the end of April.
