2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Convertible

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Convertible

Car dealers do the strangest things to their vehicles. Just think how many cars are out there with terrible vinyl fabric roof and add-ons, manufacturers almost a generation later swore them completely. Manchester Subaru in Manchester, New Hampshire is not content to create some level of false-adhesive and ribbon-cutting in a top-dog 2011 Subaru WRX STI. Instead, the dealer has gone all the Massacre at rally-bred performance sedan. The result is a picnic basket of automotive woe.

 At least the “hold” left after all the chop-shopping remains a fleeting appearance of rigidity. The rest? Awful. There is an ill-fitting tonneau, chopped amounts of the doors and wing WTI huge mark still hangs off the trunk. The worst part? This price is supposedly poor Subaru $ 75,000.

 No joke. Sure, there’s an “exclusive” factor, but 75 great buys a huge amount of high-performance real-convertible, the kind that do not sing like a baked macaroni. The deal would have ordered five of these abominations, which probably five more that nobody wants

2012 Mercedes-CLS 63 AMG by Carlsson

2012 Mercedes-CLS 63 AMG by Carlsson

 In late 2010, Carlsson showed an impressive package of adjustment to the new generation of the Mercedes CLS. Now, the tuner has moved on the more powerful model line CLS: CLS 63 AMG.
For the package CLS 63 AMG, the 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo has been upgraded to offer an impressive 600 HP from the standard 518 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. Besides this, the tuner is offering a nice aero package that includes a new front spoiler, a front spoiler lip RS (available in real carbon), a new rear spoiler, a rear spoiler and a built-in diffuser, which works as a tailplane and provides extra downforce and more stable road holding at high speed.
For the outer package, Carlsson added a new front spoiler, a front spoiler lip RS (available in real carbon), a new rear spoiler, a rear spoiler and a built-in diffuser, which works like a tailplane and ensures extra downforce and more stable road holding at high speed. The car sits on new 20 “wheels, five-spoke design.
For the interior, the tuner is offering the highest level of materials. Banks and door panels were covered with contrasting stitching Nappa Carlsson Carlsson. The contrast with Nappa leather sports steering wheel Alcantara, while the rest of the foot pedals and are both made of brushed aluminum. Other additions to the interior carpets are velvet foot with the logo of Carlsson and yank the carpet to match

 To update the engine, Carlsson chose an optimization engine and a sophisticated technical performance kit that increases the production of V8 600 HP. The kit also includes the performance of a stainless steel rear silencer and two oval tailpipes for better sound.
The same performance kit can also be applied to smaller engines in the line-up. For the CLS 350 CDI, for example, the 265 horsepower can be increased to an impressive 320 hp and maximum torque was increased from 650-780 nm.

 Carlsson may be offering a package of adjustment for patient CLS 63 AMG – after all it’s not every day you have the chance to see a dean of sports with such power – but, unfortunately for them, Brabus achieved much more than that. Brabus package for the CLS 63 AMG offers an exhilarating 730hp, not to mention their package more attractive abroad.
Carlsson new package will be available this April. Prices will be announced at the Geneva Motor Show 2011

Smart Fortwo Concept

Smart Fortwo Concept

The smart fortwo is not so much a small car as a short. With only eight meters from stem to stern, is by far the shortest car on the market. What is the difference between small and short? A small car can stay low to the ground to achieve excellent handling and fuel economy. A small car only excels at one thing: parking unlimited parallel. The first generation Smart proved the point. As reviewed on TTAC, it was a noisy, slow, poor handling, stiff-legged bouncy, and a car with meh mileage crashy. Thus, Daimler says it’s corrected the flaws of the first-gen is. The version 2.0 heads stateside in 2008 – ready for prime time?
The new ForTwo maintains its Tonka toy proportions and look at me I’m wearing designer sunglasses (without prescription) unconventionality. There is now a bracket painted around the driver’s compartment: a clever if unsuccessful attempt to reassure drivers that Smart has your back (as there is nothing much behind them). From certain angles, the bar marked Four Two looks like a Pokemon with weird sideburns. Anyway, there’s no denying that observers (especially women) fight the urge to muss her hair metaphorical, the ForTwo and pinch your cheeks figuratively.
cabin.jpgThe new cabin ForTwo uses shapes, textures and fonts with a little less original than before. The dash is now in monolithic form powerful Mercedes. And it’s a shame the periscopes single signature (rpms and clock) are not standard issue. On the positive side, the interior is still very airy and spacious: a paradise for a brace of urban art loving. The quality of materials and finishes Ye Olde SMART overcome by a wide margin. Better yet, the trunk of the ForTwo can now swallow a full 58 liters of luggage. Another Tumi for the road?

The stateside Smarts are motivated by one liter three-cylinder engine. The powerplant is an old beast revvy little, even at idle. Annoying vibration steady hand, the mini-mill certainly gives his all-70 horses to push the cause forward. Tachometer needle guide for 6500rpm redline and you can only accelerate (if this is the right word) from rest to 60 mph in 12 seconds. The ForTwo also relatively comfortable cruising at 70mph. That’s provided you can wait that long and overcome the stubbornness of the gearbox of FourTwo passion to kill.
SMART bus.jpgThe original was correct and roundly criticized for halting its transmission. The new gearbox also changes in sequence (on request) or automatically (when he feels like it). Gear change times are reduced. But unfortunately, the new ForTwo has changed the way you speak Frank Costanza. Driving smoothly, the gearbox swaps with no problems. But the hard acceleration will make you and your passenger look like diehard (hopefully) headbangers. Even worse, if you need a burst of glamor to the passing of emergency, the smart fortwo will pause for a moment or two before calling more stick while you contemplate a premature death and messy.
The suspension ForTwo is also improved, but not enough. For a city car that is shorter than an NBA player carrying a midget on the shoulders, the ForTwo v2 rides very well. For any other type of car, the suspension is crap. You would have to be a fan of sadomasochism light to appreciate the Smart hard not to say wagon ride quality. If potholes mar your local landscape, so a smart owner will have his chiropractor on speed dial.

 

A outra desvantagem de um carro duro suspensa: você pode estar enganado em acreditar que trata bem. Sim, os cantos ForTwo plana. E é verdade: a minha direcção não assistida testador era mais carnuda como um caldeirão de pimentão Texas. Mas limita o ForTwo são inferiores aos quadris cobra, ea babá manipulação ESP está sempre de plantão. Não é para colocar um ponto demasiado fino sobre ele, um motorista agressivo pode colocar o ForTwo em qualquer atitude de manipulação que eles gostam, enquanto ele é um slide de subviragem.
back-end.jpgSo o Smart é um desagradável de dirigir, pônei de um truque. E ainda existem muitas pessoas, algumas 30k americanos pioneiros na última contagem que não poderia me importar menos sobre a sua dinâmica de condução terrível. A saber: em um fininho milhas trezentos junto ao Rio Mosela, minha namorada se apaixonou com o ForTwo. Ela ficou encantada com as questões colocadas pelos belgas amigável rural, e divertido quando o motorista de um caminhão de vinte toneladas buzinou e deu-nos um polegar para cima à medida que passamos de uma sinuosa estrada de montanha (eu estava paralisado de medo).
Calculo que o smart fortwo é o equivalente automotivo dos Cone Maxwell Smart do Silêncio: uma grande idéia na teoria, um dispositivo risível na prática. Então, novamente, o ForTwo é uma declaração. E ele carrega uma semelhança notável com o Porsche 911: um conceito ridículo feito por drivable obsessivo-compulsivo engenheiros alemães. Mas, enquanto a Porsche tem quase sempre ganhou dinheiro, o Smart nunca. Julgando v2, que provavelmente nunca será
