Aston Martin V12 Vantage - 'Top Gear' Review

Here is video from last episode of this season Top Gear. Jeremy Clarkson share with us experience and information about exclusive new Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Great video review so I just can't skip that and don't share with you...

New Vantage GTR Porsche Cayenne

TOPCAR Company has prepared a limited series Vantage GTR Porsche Cayenne. Only 25 cars will be manufactured, each of them manufactured in compliance with client’s wishes and will have its personal number.

While tuning the car, designers of TOPCAR Company combined aerodynamic kits from Advantage GT and Vantage – each of 25 Porsche Cayenne will have this integrated aerodynamic kit, where front optics remains standard, but the car receives enlarged rear wings with impressive air inlets from Advantage GT. In this way, SUV visually transforms into coupe, but it has no round lights of 911 model in 997 body. It means that in the near future another 25 fierce and aggressive Porsche Cayenne, will be on road, making horror to their standard fellow creatures.

When a new body kit is installed, hood, radiator guard, front bumper, sills, rear bumper are replaced and rear wings are equipped with moldings. Knobs of rear doors disappear. Neat buttons replace them; they are thoroughly hidden in big side air inlets, as in Advantage GT Project. Similar to the previous aerodynamic body kits from TOPCAR Company, Vantage GTR body kits are manufactured of reinforced Kevlar, and some elements are produced of dry carbon.

But TOPCAR Company places its stake not only on exterior of the project. As usual, the interior is also subject to substantial re-development. TOPCAR Company offers even more expensive leather, alcantara, exclusive woods, parts of carbon, and also clear stitches and decorative solutions, including, among other, a plate with individual number on the central console.

German company 9FF is a traditional partner of TOPCAR Company in tuning of engines of Porsche Cayenne.

Within the frame of this project TOPCAR Company has already manufactured 7 cars. The price of aerodynamic body kit for Vantage GTR is EURO 45,000. This aerodynamic kit can be created on the basis of any Porsche Cayenne, even from previous generation.

The new Lamborghini LP670 R-SV by REITER Engineering was unveiled to the public few months after the official presentation Geneva. Lamborghini GT1 race car is presented to the public at the 24-hours of SPA. Car is based on the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4.

It is equipped with a more powerful 6.5 V12 engine, which produce 670 PS/493 kW. The FIA-ECU from Magneti Marelli regulates the engine control.

The Lamborghini P670 R-SV is designed and manufactured to comply with the FIA 2010 regulations. The FIA allows 6 automobile brands to be nominated. The race car is targeting to be nominated for the GT World Championship.

A complete carbon outer skin clothes the Lamborghini racer. Its new visual appearance is unmistakable – extreme and uncompromising. The significantly modified aerodynamics improves the aerodynamic efficiency compared to its predecessor the Murciélago R-GT.

In addition, the engineers could also improve the suspension geometry. Compared to its forerunner, the new suspension geometry with modified roll-centre height and improved steering geometry, modified track width and re-engineered suspension components characterise the new Lamborghini race car.

The race braking system, comprised of carbon discs and pads, was also re-engineered and is now equipped with superior cooling.

UK Police Replace Imprezas With New Lexus IS-F

Objects you do not want to see in your rear-view mirror: Hungry dinosaurs, pissed-off exes holding rifles, mushroom clouds and this guy. Indeed, you're looking at a Lexus IS-Force, an IS-F that's been converted to a cruiser for police duty in the English county of Humberside, which includes the notoriously criminally minded port city of Hull. For the past few years, Humberside bobbies have been chasing baddies in Subaru Imprezas, but the AWD cars just weren't up to the task at hand. What to replace 'em with? Here's what the cops were thinking, according to Sergeant Mike Peck:

"The Lexus was tested during a 12-month period along with similar vehicles and proved itself to be ideally suited in providing a dynamically safe high performance chassis along with an electronically stable platform for the computer equipment. In the past this equipment has placed huge demands on vehicles but the Lexus IS-F easily met with our requirements. The final product provides a most formidable package and is undoubtedly one of the most advanced police vehicles in the world which in turn enables my officers to deal with the criminals who use the roads for serious and organized crime."

Well, not quite extras, because if you know the Lexus brand well enough, they rarely come with an options list, as all the trick stuff is fitted as standard kit. It’s one of the brand’s main selling points, apart from the near faultless reliability and subsequent cost of ownership.These options include on-board computers and communications equipment.

However, Lexus produce mostly soft luxury cars don’t they? Mostly.

But this is the Lexus IS-F, powered by a 5-litre V8 engine, which has been specially tuned to deliver blistering acceleration and a top speed of 270km/h.

''Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition''

World famous tuning company “Gemballa” presented new modification of Porsche Carrera GT. The name of this supercar is “Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition”.

This Mirage GT has 650hp and is capable of 0-100km/h (62mph) in 3.7 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the stan­dard car. 0 – 200km/h is also dealt with in 0.2 seconds less, 9.7 seconds in total. It tops out at 335 km/h (208mph).

The exterior looks stunning as always with Mirage GT’s. The mix of matte black paint work and silver accents really make the car stand out. As with most tuners, Gemballa have added a garish ‘one-off’ theme to the car. A mixture of black material, blue alcantara and a space age-looking silver material...

The “Gemballa Mirage GT Matt Edition” will be sold in extremely limited numbers with a price tag of $420,000.
