Company Saleen is known to the general public not only by itslegendary expensive superkarom S7. the lion's share of automobileswith the emblem in the form of red flag it comes on the thoroughlypererabotannye mustangs. "Skakuns" disperse well, but the bosses of California firm decided to whip demand for their production, aftermaking the proposal, from which the amateurs of the "chargedAmericans" hardly can refuse by Modifikaqi4 it iscalled S281 RF it stands cheaper than 50 "kiloes-Bax", or moreprecisely - 49 thousand 995 dollars. For these money you will obtainthe wonderfully equipped automobile, which has completely new leathersalon with the red line, the outdoor rugs with inscription S281 andbeautiful cover plates on the thresholds. Ah yes, in addition toeverything machine is decorated firm with gluings by Nohighly improbably, that the buyers of such machines interests asimilar tinsel. And even to the pathos-arousing 20- one inch"chromium" wheel disks these comrades it is glanced only in passing.Where it is more important for them that the speedometer is marked azhto 200 miles an hour (but this of almost 322 km/h!), and this, it isnecessary to say that not without purpose. We do not undertake toassert that S281 RF will drive away to such "formula" speeds, but,after placing under the cowling the mechanical supercharger of its owndevelopment, engineers Saleen of raskochegarili regular 4,6- liter"eight" to 465 horsepower. So that "nonsense" under the cowling issufficient Cto of zh, proposal is actually very worthy.Hardly now on the market it is possible to find so stylish, powerfuland, you will notice, new "projectile" for the comparable money. Butit is worth hurry with the armor: proposal is limited only by hundredof copies.
Heico brought into Las-Vegas the improbable Volvo S80
German city Darmstadt (Darmstadt) is remarkable for several reasons.First, this is the native land of the wives of the immediately twoRussian emperors: Aleksandr II and Nikolai II. In the second place, inthe 30th and 40's of past century local residents actively supportedNazis, in consequence of which this city was one of the basicstrongholds of Hitler regime. Well and thirdly, precisely, in theseedges is located firm Heico Sportiv.Kontora this it is interesting,first of all, because it is occupied exclusively by tyuningom Volvo,completely ignoring the production of domestic avtoproma. But fellowsknow matter their. And proved this repeatedly and not two. Moreover,Germans love not only to finish series copies, but also to constructexhibition models. For example as VOLVO C30 for snoubordistov, whichcould with its own eyes observe the visitors of exhibition Sema-2006.Apparently, it was there greatly pleased to Germans; therefore theydecided to visit into Las-Vegas still of razok. And not with the emptyhands, it understands. To subjugate America darmshtadttsy left on the the amazing VOLVO S80,singlehandedly brought to the mind. They worked above the machine notone month, but the result of that cost. It suffices to say that onecoloring alone of automobile was conducted into seven approaches andengaged two weeks. Then now large Swedish sedan dazzlingly shines byall bends of its body and it seems literally poured from presentalyuminiya.Poka house-painters they worked, engine specialists did notsit idly. They conjured above with a plant the in-line "six" volume of3,2 liters, without having been satisfied by the declared power by 281horsepower. As a result motor they transferred on the the fuel- E85,reprogrammed "brains", was replaced interkuler and was placedcompletely new exhaust system made of the stainless steel. After thesemanipulations the power of turbomotora ran up to 350 hp torque alsoperceptibly it grew: in the interval from 1500 to 4000 r/min it isheld on the mark of 550 newton meters. This result satisfied thePresident of company Holger khedtke (Holger Hedtke), although it didnot fail to note that also this not predel.Posle of this the Germanssolved, which one system alone of the complete drive Volvo will be notenough. Therefore sedan from Heico obtained completely new suspensionand became lower by 40 mm. With the brakes the same history. Now afterthe luxurious light-alloy disks VOLUTION BY X, specially developed forthis automobile, hide themselves pale blue six-piston supports and355- millimeter retarding discs. Not less does impress the size of"foot-wear" Continental: 255/30 r20.Nu and so that the visitors ofexhibition SEMA finally would fall into fainting and no longer theyarose, darmshtadtskiye magicians to the conscience worked above thesalon. Now there guide ball blue skin and silvery carbon. Yes thatthere, even belts of safety - blue and are prepared to order. And thelast prime: on the thresholds of doors and on the blue rugs stand inbeauty logotypes Heico, in order to each, who will be sat down intothis prodigious Volvo, he did not forget about his origin Cto and to speak, stunning came out exhibit. There is it in thesole copy and it is terrible to think, into what sum it managed tocreators. However, money in this case not main thing. Children fromHeico wanted to show everything, on that they were capable, and, it isworthwhile to recognize, they lustrously managed their task.

The new compact crossover from Volkswagen, represented by autumn inFrankfurt, until only make its first steps, and tyuningovye firmsquickly they already develop for Tiguan the adornments and"uluchshatel'stva of every kind". The first serious claim made knownAbt Sportsline. Pricem Germans they approached thematter is very critically and they did not limit to some commonplacesta1ling- packet. It's a pity, that Abt Sportsline does not reportdetails, but for its specialists, one way or another, it was possibleto raise the power of standard motor 1.4 tsi from 140 to 200"horsies"! So that, it appears, "pulyaet" to 100 km/h it where morerapid than for 9,6 sekundy.Ne they forgot also about the diesels - totwo-liter "solyaroyadnym" (140 and 170 "horses") they added on 30 morehorsepower. But so that the addition of power would not be wrapped upby the ploughed cell, literates from Abt Sportsline established newbrakes with the 345- millimeter front disks and sport suspension.Well, who now will dare to give to the 200- strong turbodizel'nomuTiguan offensive nickname "tractor"?

The Chinese automobiles Geely obtained the new emblem
In the designer competition Mazda was determined the conqueror
However, conqueror - is not the word. Therefore as girl won. By Dada,from the avalanche of original and talented claims designers Mazda andvisitors of site Facebook selected precisely the work of 21- summerMellori For makmorrou (Mallory McMorrow). This dear lady learns at theuniversity Notre Dame (Notre Dame) that in the state of Indiana, andhe specializes in the industrial design. She is fascinated byautomobiles from the small years, for which also was obtained from itssokursnikov nickname Car Girl. to Po conditions formeasure, for the participation in the competition it was necessary tosend to organizers the description of concept of 150 words and, whendesired, figure. On undertaking MAZDA Of mellori it learned from itsprofessor, floor of Down (Paul Down), and without delaying itundertook to write essay. It wrote that see "three rubles" 2018 ofoutwardly similar to sportkar, but he without fail have to be fivedoors, places for the friends and the dog, and also completely glassroofs. Certainly, automobile is simply obligated by its appearance todisplace necks to passer-by. But most important "chip" lies in thebody: for it it has to be such revolutionary that could not beunambiguously said that these are - sedan, sleeping compartment orkhetchbek. is Takie theses of vpechatlili and designers MAZDA, and public Facebook, which made it possible Car Girl to beopened into the finale. There to it into the pair they put regulardesigner Jacques flinna (Jacques Flynn), who by her professional handwas received to personify the fantasies of girl on the paper. Fruit oftheir joint creation was the designer sketch, which brought togetherwith the essay victory in you konkurse.Dumayete, on this the historydoes conclude? Not a bit. Everything only begins, since the mostcomplex part of entire measure today starts. To Mellori were joinedpersonally Franz von khol'tskhauzen (Franz von Holzhausen), chapter ofthe California design- studio Mazda, with their command. Together forthem it is to be done a full-scale mock-up of the drawn concept.Moreover the most interesting, that entire process of generating themock-up can be will be observed with own eyes. For this altogetheronly will have to visit auto-salon in Los Angeles (LA Auto Show) andto visit to stand Mazda. There from 16 to 24 November, daily from 12to 20 it is hour, designers will draw, smooth, equalize yes topractically lick MAZDA of future Prezentaqi4 it takes placeon 24 November at three P.M. local time. On this this project will becompleted, but this main thing. Indeed according to Franz vonkhol'tskhauzen, should be noted, in the first place, the enormoussuccess of contest, and in the second place, thousands of ideas, withwhich were armed the mazdovskiye designers practically for nothing.There is and one additional moment: now these people considerablybetter began to understand, by what see automobiles Mazda potentialbuyers and, can be assured, these wishes will be takeed into account.
