2008 Koenigsegg CCXR Edition

KOENIGSEGG CCX EDITION

In the upper sphere of very exclusive manufacturers, there is, in Sweden, a craftsman like no other: Koenigsegg. His first production model, the CC8S, was launched in 2000. Since it is the arms race, until the arrival of the CCXR. Guided in part by environmental concerns, but mainly by an obsession for performance, Koenigsegg has chosen the path of bio-fuel to maximize its missile. Remember that this supercar "green" based on the CCX (806 hp already!) Promises to run on either bioethanol E85 or unleaded 98 classic or with a mixture of both.

If the car runs on E85 bio-ethanol pure power claimed reached 1018 hp, 888 hp cons when it runs on unleaded. But to win almost 200 hp over the standard CCX, it was necessary to review the V8 injection system and increase the maximum boost pressure compressor, which increased from 1.2 bar to 1.6 bar.

This year, the novelty lies in this special series called Edition, available in very limited numbers on the CCX and CCXR. The edition, imagined as a kind of "customer competition," is particularly characterized by aerodynamic refinements and an impressive showing off her body carbon soul, but it is always possible to choose a dress painted.
In detail, we see new and polished forged wheels, a new spoiler, bigger, and a reworked front fascia, thereby gaining support at higher speeds, the order of 350 kg to 250 km / h. Recall here that the first CCX were facing problems due to lack of support sufficiently effective spoiler.

Koenigsegg also announced new dampers, firmer springs, stabilizer bars of larger diameter and a lowered body. Clearly, whatever it takes to try to beat a speed record on track!
 The Swedish manufacturer also claims to have changed the CCXR for this purpose and even offers an option of Michelin Cup proper. Aside from that, the CCXR Edition pushes exclusivity even further by offering a reworked interior in detail including a welcoming center console and specific elements in anodized aluminum. Pallet control the gearbox and driving are also now available on all Koenigsegg.
As for performance, this near-car race over 1000 hp claims a top speed exceeding 410 km / h and a 0-100 km / h in 2 "9. The Swede wants the skin of the Bugatti Veyron! Finally, note that the CCXR Edition has exclusive play to the end since it is proposed that six copies, not one more. The price of the machine, too, has something to give the thrill, since it will rely, without options, 1.5 million euros each!

2008 KTM X-Bow

KTM X-BOW

The standard KTM X-Bow with 220 hp and a weight of 700 kilos of course not all needy. But tunert MTM believes that they have more power from the 2.0 TFSI can fiddle block. And so they are fast becoming the X-Bow with less than 380 hp to deliver!

Much time will this development not going to cost I think. Because the block from the X-Bow is also used by Audi and Volkswagen. And for those brands as the MTM S3 with 380 hp and the Scirocco with 380 hp developed. Since the kit is still in development has not yet define MTM tive performance, but 380 hp and 700 pounds sounds like music to my ears!

Incidentally, KTM would have to work to develop an X-Bow R with 280 hp . But that seems quite unnecessary if MTM is already there ;)

When more is known of course that you hear. Until that time we have to do with these teasers.

2008 GMC Denali XT Concept

GMC DENALI XT CONCEPT

This pick-up GMC proves that big, tough, American cars do not always need to consume lots of gasoline. This concept is in fact equipped with flex-fuel system allowing a normal petrol and ethanol. It saves you quite in the slurptax . However, the Denali is no shortage of power.

The Denali XT will make its debut at the Chicago Auto Show, which begins next week. The engine is still a major U.S. 4.9 liter V8 with 326 hp. This block is more economical efficiency through the ability to injection, and a number of cylinders to switch off. Also the V8 lust ethanol and to finish it off, he is further coupled to an electric motor that takes over at low speeds. If you add everything up, the engine consumes 50% less fuel than a conventional system. Who tips Shaquille O'Neal ?

Another novelty is a unibody meaning that the Denali XT a whole and not a separate chassis with a body up there. This is the pickup lighter and stiffer and he must be in accordance with GMC sporty driving. GMC probably means something else in sports than we do because the latter dare I doubt it.

The design is round but muscular with wide wheel arches, a large grill and 23-inch wheels who are not bad.

2008 Nissan Skyline R35 GT-R

NISSAN SKYLINE R35 GT-R

The GT-R series were a late 2001 ahead of Tokyo Motor Show on the study presented the same name and the end of 2005 a prototype. Unlike its predecessors, the GT-R (R35) marketed for the first time not only in individual markets such as Japan and Britain but also in countries with left-hand drive .
The car had its premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show 2007th The successor to the Skyline GT-R (R34) is not a descendant of the Skyline series, but a separate model in the Nissan range. Like its predecessor, the GT-R models have four-wheel drive, but with new, patented technology. In an effort not to let the weight get too much in the new model was the four-wheel steering (HICAS S) dropped.

The GT-R is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that is supercharged by two turbochargers. It achieves a power of 357 kW (485 hp) at 6400 min ^-1 and a torque of 588 Nm at 3200-5200 min ^-1, via the transaxle is six-speed dual-clutch gearbox distributed variably to all four wheels. While the vehicle is usually rear-wheel drive and on, as was the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, only added to the front wheels slip too much.
Top speed is around 312 km / h In the United States.
  

The power remains unchanged at its maximum value, the torque experienced for more than 80 seconds, an increase of only 20 Nm. The SpecV is to implement various measures to reduce weight about 80 kg lighter than the standard version. Various accessories are made in carbon fiber, the interior, the rear seats removed and replaced by the front carbon fiber racing seats. The braking system now has ceramic discs, also received the vehicle lighter rims. The exhaust system now consists of titanium. In addition, the chassis has been strengthened, but is now no longer three-stage adaptive as the standard GT-R.

2008 Ford F-650 Super Duty

FORD F 650 SUPER DUTY

In comparison to this car itself looks well proportioned to the lobster - and Mercedes M-class suddenly looks like a toy car. No other cars on German roads is as large as the Ford F-650. The strand is 6.50 meters long, as wide as a smart and parked across almost as tall as a double-decker bus. This goes beyond the usual standards in the streets, and the licensing authorities are likely to have problems with the Colossus.
Ford offers the car in this country because of its dealers not. More surprising is that it seems despite fuel price shock and CO2 debate are plenty interested in the monster. The Munich-based importer GeigerCars can save themselves from inquiries about their claims to be - although even be due for the base version of 99.000 Euro.
With a few extras shimmering chrome one is fixed at EUR 109,000. "We sell every month at least one car," said company president Karl Geiger, supposedly it could be much longer. "We get from the USA not just cars."
 

The engine is a curmudgeon with sheer force
If you do not irritate the hiss of air brakes, the subtle waves of air suspension and the idiosyncratic keys for the six-truck-auto can be had, with the giant easy game - as long as the road pretty wide, is just empty and most of all. When he was a small car with a slender four-cylinder engine, the giant leaves of Detroit will go almost to the little finger. It rolls up at the front and two rear four 21-inch wheels on the asphalt, which has a wider than all four wheels smart together.
And under the hood is a colossal truck diesel engine with six cylinders stomps and 6.7 liters of displacement, identify the documents for the breathtaking 325 hp and 1000 Nm. This enormous power is routed through a propeller shaft on the thickness of a tree trunk to the rear axle. Fast you can drive by car, not, however, the F-650 record-breaking tractor. Anyone wishing to tow a jet, or just want to pull his weekend house to the sea - for this car is likely to be an easy exercise.
 

Just because the downgrade 5.2 tons heavy vessel thickness and the maximum weight was limited to 7.49 tons, is the pick-up in this country should ever draw a driver's license - if the test before 1 Was passed January 1999. Before you start driving is still a bit of sport announced. Finally, we need some strength until you have ascended the throne of "King of the Road." And you should be afraid of heights, if you stand in the door and looks down again.
They can get it behind the big steering wheel, does the F-650 surprisingly conventional. The view is something special, and more space than a Ford Ranger or a Mitsubishi L-200 has one also. But the gray leather seats, the simple cockpit, comfortable back seat and the numerous electrical helpers were also attached to another large rustic model.
 

The car giant will soon close

However, once the roads are narrow and close to other cars, it is narrow. City tours are therefore a delicate exercise that can be handled only with great sensitivity and permanent view in the two large mirrors cover plate. Who not only on wide boulevards heischen for attention, but actually do some shopping in the center wants to get up as early as possible. Later in the day that is sinking the chances of finding a parking space of sufficient size to zero.
On the other hand, the bed of the, F-650 so great that they probably only twice a year for the wholesale market needs, and once anything goes - as it is to move on too tight - you can take advantage of the huge cabin as a lounge. Or for an extra nap, until the situation has been resolved.
 

People react puzzled, curious, angry
The reactions of other road users sufficient in view of the F-650 has puzzled by curiosity to angry. The car clearly belongs in the category of climate killer. On the other hand, you win with this car at least one new friend - the gas station attendant. Because the chrome barrels under the tread strips hold more than 400 liters of diesel. Is tapped to that amount, you can easily render a drink plus sausage and chat with the man at the cash register. The likely end around 600 € charge. Faster you can collect Club Smart or no payback points.

2008 Hummer H2 SUT

HUMMER H2 SUT

Like the H2, H2 SUT can carry passengers and cargo, but does so in its own way: an open cargo bed enables you to easily place large objects, or roll down the beach a crowd of girls in bikinis - standing in an open body, they will be more comfortable these bikini waving. If you want to create a large space for luggage, on the H2 SUT is possible to increase the size of a pickup truck body 2.44 to 1.22 m for this rear window with electric retracts into the wall, which then develops forward in the same way as the back seat. If the car are four passengers, the wall behind rear seat back is upright, but the car has great potential for the transport of luggage.

H2 SUT is not only practical, it can also provide a delightful experience to travel in an open car. The driver simply click on the button to lower all four side windows and rear window. Using a separate switch can be opened and the upper hatch (which is included in basic equipment) and enjoy the traffic in the open. 

It remains to wait until both cars go on sale here. Then you can touch them with his hands and figure out where to get some money to buy. Or think of the new H3 model, which we'll tell you as soon as possible.
