Corvette Centennial Design Concept pics

The rear window is all you need to understand how this car’s style was developed. Its sloping lines escape towards the rear, reflecting the purity of a stingray. It has plenty of cinema charisma, as Corvette shows the first images of the Centennial Design; the mysterious concept car destined to be a protagonist in “Revenge of the Fallen”, the colossal sequel to Transformers.

We love the evocative rear, but aren’t so convinced about the front - too little Corvette, too much invention, which doesn’t continue with the rear lines. But for the film, it could nearly steal the show.

New Concept Audi R25 Design

Created by Audi of America Design Center California, the R25 was designed to compete in futuristic racetracks with high-velocity tunnels which allow cars to race inverted. Among the features are a Dynamic Space Frame and active surfaces which optimize airflow.

The Audi R25 isa futuristic prototype for the brand's racecar lineup.

"The inaugural Los Angeles round of the ALMS 2025 incorporates innovative features never previously seen in any form of motor sports, such as high-velocity banks and tunnels, which allow cars to race “inverted” and the opportunity to pass anywhere with aerodynamic racecars."

All top sections of the tunnels and banks are also WiTricity wireless electrical charging zones, which encourage the drivers to utilize these free energy zones instead of fuel stops.

The R25 is designed to utilize and excel in this new racing environment, with features such as:

1. The new Dynamic Space Frame, allowing much greater degree of flexibility, integration of circuits and rigidity
2. Algae bio fuel for endurance and electric motor capability through Wireless power transfer technology
3. Audi Design: Staying true to the “Form is Function” philosophy, there is not an ounce of needless element in the R25, which incorporates advanced technique and efficient form management into one.
   The car also uses: active micro-control surfaces which optimize airflow during the race; Man Machine Interface, which inputs all vehicle data output into the driver’s helmet visor; all-around vehicle dynamic sensors and integrated on-board HD cameras with real-time data links to allow for spectator interaction, allowing fans to virtually “sit” and experience the race in any racecar through monitors and virtual reality booths.

Acura ZDX Concept

At the New York Auto Show Acura has unveiled the ZDX Concept, a premium crossover that blends styling elements from a coupe, a sedan and a SUV and offers a luxurious and flexible interior. The production version will go on sale in Fall 2009.
Debuting at the 2009 New York Auto Show, the ZDX was designed to explore new possibilities for the Acura brand, blurring the distinction between coupe, sedan and sport utility vehicle.

The design is characterized by a sharply raked roofline and bold fender flares; flowing lines start from the headlights and run the length of the car.

In keeping with the coupe-inspired styling, the rear door handles are concealed in the C-pillar.

The all-glass tailgate opens wide to reveal a highly functional cargo space with integrated under-floor storage.

From the very first sketch of the ZDX, I wanted to create an emotional vehicle that challenged conventional thinking of what a sports coupe should be,” said Michelle Christensen, ZDX exterior designer.

Inside, the ZDX exudes modern luxury while focusing on pampering the front passengers. The cabin is enveloped in leather, which gives the interior a luxurious and inviting feel.

The hand-stitched leather dash and instrument panel sweep down to form a dual cockpit layout.

The premium leather seats are highly bolstered to support the passengers during sporty driving and at the same time provide comfort during a long getaway.

A black monochromatic center stack leads to the textured metallic center console, which complements the black and pearl white leather trim.

The thick leather wrapped steering wheel provides ample grip and is framed by racing-inspired paddle shifters.

The revival of Lagonda fulfils a long-term vision and will bring performance luxury into new markets and territories around the world for Aston Martin Lagonda.

Lagonda will be a strong presence in 100 global territories, increasing the global brand reach of the company and extending to new customers.

Reflecting its history, the brand will return to Russia, enter emerging markets in the Middle East, South America, India and China, as well as responding to demand from the dynamic, innovation-focused consumers of Europe, North America and the Far East.

Aston Martin Lagonda Chief Executive, Dr Ulrich Bez, commented “The Lagonda is [...] a combination of total usability, a new form and innovative new technology and materials.”

The brand will allow the exploration of alternative powertrain solutions including flexfuel, low emission diesel and hybrid systems.

The intention is for Lagonda to enter the market place with a unique performance avant-garde luxury product, a vehicle that combines exceptional ability with unsurpassed elegance, inside and out.

“An Aston Martin is an authentic, pure sports car,” says Dr Ulrich Bez, “but Lagonda is something else, a new brand that will reach into new markets. Lagonda will create a new kind of customer relationship, instilling the spirit of travel, adventure and style

R35 GT-R Transmission and Clutch Upgrades

The R35 GT-R uses a completely new transmission for Nissan, the Borg Warner GR6 dual clutch transaxle gearbox. The GR6 is an automated manual transmission, even though the misinformed masses call it an “automatic” transmission it is internally much more efficient and shifts faster than an automatic transmission.

Another issue that has come up recently is with high horsepower/torque(700+hp) cars not wanting to shift gears. This is a TCM/ECM related issue that is being worked on. SP Engineering posted up some information on the problem.

After any work to the transmission, and also as part of the performance optimization service, the clutches in the transmission generally need to be adjusted with a Consult III. The Consult III is a Panasonic Toughbook laptop with software to work with Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. However, to work on the Nissan GT-R, you need a special “GT-R card” .The Consult III and GT-R card are very difficult to get a hold of. Mostly only certified Nissan dealers have it. A few aftermarket companies around the world have Consult III’s, but they are not common, and they are expensive. There are 15 different settings for the clutch touch point and capacity,which adjust how the car drives, and the firmness of the shifts.

The factory clutch starts to slip with the factory fluids at around 650 wheel horsepower. There are upgraded clutch pack, and OEM replacements available.
