Gold Audi R8 on Moscow streets

Variants of non-standard colouring of the car becomes more and more: already you will surprise nobody with an aerographics, a covering with effect chameleon or a black matte body, but here cars shining by gold have not become familiar yet in capital streets. Precious metal on boards of this Audi R8, photographed on a parking in the centre of Moscow, looks very naturally. The owner of this original device should take care of protection. Hardly probable capital car thieves are so naive that will accept a body covering for the present gold, however the owner similarly decorated Porsche 911 last year has lost the gold sport car.

Aston Martin DB9 updated

Aston Martin has published the first information about modernised super car DB9. Outwardly changes is not enough, though super car also has received a new front bumper, hardly other radiator enclosure, new tail lights. Besides, the car will differ other 20-inch wheel disks.

However another is more important. Aston Martin DB9 will be equipped henceforth with a new adaptive suspender which will appear in a base complete set. Also there will be a monitoring system behind pressure in tyre covers, other microphone for system Hands-Free and new "music" from Bang and Olufsen. Engine is same: V12 in volume 5,9 l, 477 h.p. and 600 Nm.

Spirra. Koreans have made the first Super Car!

In 2001 small South Korean company Proto Motors has presented a prototype of future sport car PS II which promised to start in a batch production in the nearest year-two. But it does not happen. Required the whole nine years to finish super car, received name Spirra.

Because working out on car has actually begun in the last century, it is difficult to name design Spirra modern. If not to pay attention on middle motor configuration it is possible to accept Spirra for a usual Japanese sport coupe the beginning of the century. However, it is necessary to recognise nevertheless that Japanese cars of ten years' prescription had nevertheless more expressive design. As to technical characteristics here again Koreans have not thought up anything original. A spatial frame with body panels from carbon and 2,7-litre six-cylinder engine Hyundai established before a rear axle capacity of 175 h.p. and 245 Nm. An indicator worthy any "warmed-up" hatchback of a golf class. But it is the base version. There are versions more powerful, and all of them are equipped with the same motor Hyundai.

The version a class above already carries name Spirra Turbo and has turbo motor capacity of 330 h.p. (471 Nm). But also in such kind to name Spirra super car very difficult. Koreans perfectly understand it and consequently two more versions have offered all with the same 2,7-litre motor which, develops 400-420 h.p. (490 Nm), and the top version with two turbines already gives out quite decent 450-500 h.p. (539 Nm). All versions are equipped with a six-step manual transmission.

Depending on version first hundred conquest leaves from 6,8 sec to 3,5 sec, and the maximum speed makes from 212 to 310 km/h. Also depending on the version the car has 18 or 19-inch wheel disks with rubber Kumho dimension 225/40 in front and 275/40 behind. The Passenger compartment is finished by a skin, inserts from carbon and can brag of sports "ladles" Recaro. The price of the first Korean a super car while is unknown, as well as commodity markets. It is quite probable that Spirra will not appear outside of Korea.

Jaguar prepares new super car!

Management Tata has told recently that mark Jaguar belonging to them next years will present at once some new models: roadster F-Type, new generation X-Type, the versatile person on the basis of XF. However, under the version of English edition AutoExpress, engineers Jaguar already have started now creation of new super car which will be faster, more powerful and more expensive than present coupe XK.

The new car yet has no name. However already now it is known that it will receive an easy aluminium body, and under a car cowl will appear 5,0-litre V8 with a supercharger which will give out an order of 550-600 h.p. Thanks to the power unit and an easy body of the car. Jaguar dispersed from 0 to 100 km/h less, than for 4 sec.

Bugatti will receive 1200 h.p.

Apparently, engineers of company Bugatti have started creation of the new version of the super car Veyron. And, the new model will possess the engine capacity not 1001 h.p., as now, but 1200 h.p. It was mentioned in the lecture at the Viennese technical university by Ferdinand Pih, the former chairman Volkswagen, and nowadays the head of the supervisory board of concern (speak, Pih became the initiator of creation the most expensive car in world Bugatti Veyron).

However it is not known yet, which car will receive the 1200-strong power unit. Versions here only two. Or the new engine will put under a cowl of present generation Veyron, or now there is a creation of essentially new coupe which becomes more, more powerfully and, certainly, is more expensive than present model.

The second variant seems to be more truthful. After all in Bugatti for a long time already said that all will be assembled only 300 Veyron, and all of them are already sold. Therefore it is necessary for engineers Bugatti to create new model which will help to be fixed the companies at top of world car industry.

Management Bugatti is ready to give «green light» to a new super sedan which will appear in the market in three years. This car will receive name Bugatti 16C Galibier. It is supposed that Bugatti will construct only 300 similar super sedans, each of which will cost about 1,5 million euros. The car will be equipped 800 h.p. eight-litre W-shaped 16-cylinder engine from Veyron.

A basis undertakes, for example, Dodge Viper, Chevrolet Corvette or Ferrari F430 then the minimum changes are made to a weather-cloth.

Last characteristic for Underground Racing creation – "pumped over" Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera.

Americans have fitted to 5,2-litre "ten" two turbines, have slightly finished cooling and release system then capacity of the power unit increased to 1500 h.p. The car have been sent on racing line "The Texas Mile" where it could dispersed to 403 km/h. And,"Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera"could show and a great speed but the matter is that "The Texas Mile" is a former airdrome with rather small runway.

Unlike legendary McLaren F1 (circulation – 107 copies), the new project is aimed at serial release supercars – to 4 000 pieces in a year. Besides, after MP4-12C the firm plans to exhaust variety of new cars and to impose struggle Ferrari not only on lines "Formula-1", but also in a car business.

It is expected that besides MP4-12C in scale McLaren will appear two more models with the same ideology: central-motor double coupes.

Still before the first car is sold to the buyer, the dealer is obliged to complete a warehouse of spare parts with all necessary details which only can be necessary. Thus if on a metre panel the indicating lamp testifying to this or that failure is fired, the driver can send pressing of one key the SMS-MESSAGE with an error code to the general database McLaren and simultaneously to the dealer that for arrival on service of the master had time to prepare all necessary and to make repair in the shortest terms.
