2016 Ford GT Review
Ford presents the new 2016 Ford GT a true super sports car that could not be more aggressive and has the finest racing technology on board. About 600 horsepower, producing a rich propulsion, so that even the current Ferrari 458 Italia with "only" 570 hp in terms of yield strength has left behind. The launch is scheduled for the end of 2016 and in Europe.
Sophistication in every detail: Design with a trick
The dynamic design of the deep squat Ford GT draws attention to the emotional line of a super sports car up, the look, the makers closely which are basically the iconic predecessor, the celebrated prestigious achievements on the worlds racetracks. At the same time, the new super sports car with its modern, functional and just beautiful lines represents the start of a new era.
Huge air intakes at the front and the side already indicate the enormous power potential, while sleek air guide elements are made of carbon aerodynamics and sharpen the look further. Meanwhile, can be positioned in the mid engine engine admired through a transparent window.
The rear features a powerful carbon diffuser, two round, reminiscent of engines tail lights and two huge, center and far top-mounted exhaust pipes. About the modern drivers cell spans the flat roof, which also contributes to the excellent aerodynamics of the 2015 Ford GT.
The highlight: The new Ford GT has air guide elements that adjust adaptively to the driving situation. The thus generated variable pressure allows especially at higher speeds extremely high driving stability and combines this with an optimized aerodynamic drag coefficient.
The sophisticated aerodynamics also reflected in small body details, such as the silhouette is inspired in the perfect shape of a water droplet. In combination with the highly curved windshield, reminiscent of the cockpit canopy of modern fighter jets, this leads to an outstanding aerodynamic efficiency without including the clarity would suffer.
Thanks to numerous active aero components, such as the variable rear wing, the new Ford GT is also standard in terms of braking performance, handling and stability. Depending on driving conditions and speed, the rear wing fits both the height and the angle of the situational requirements to ensure the best possible performance.
Engine: The strongest standard EcoBoost engine of all time
When driving the hitherto most powerful EcoBoost petrol engine series used at all: a 3.5-liter V6 with two turbochargers, which has real racing genes and will develop over 600 hp. The mid-engine drives the rear wheels of the two-seater. The engine drives an endurance prototypes as they go, for example, in the "IMSA Tudor United SportsCar Championship" (USCC) and at the 24 Hours of Daytona at the start. Right in his debut season this aggregate celebrated three victories in 2014, reached seven podiums and finished this race almost 25,000 kilometers.
The torque yet unnamed Ford will extend over a wide speed range and provide high fuel efficiency. Weve come full circle: Also on the race track performance and efficiency serve as a guarantee for success. His power transmits the twin-turbo 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which provides almost instantaneous switching operations and the driver can have full control over the action.
Weight reduction is one of the most effective measures to achieve performance and efficiency. In the 2015 Ford GT, the makers implement the most modern composite materials and carbon fiber elements. According to Ford, to achieve the GT one of the best power to weight ratio in its class.
Even chassis of reach innovative racing technology used. This is testified, inter alia, the pushrod suspension with pushrods and active stabilizer which can be adapted in height. For best possible grip performance tires provide the type "Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2", developed its structure and tread compound, the tire manufacturer for the new Ford GT. Behind the multi-piece 20-inch alloy wheels do carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo their service.
Interior: A steering wheel like in Formula 1
About the drivers cell spans the flat roof, which also contributes to the excellent aerodynamics of the Ford GT 2015. Access to the ergonomically designed interior of the supercar allow upwardly opening doors. The two seats Ford built directly into the carbon monocoque - this saves weight and ensures an optimum connection between driver and chassis. The result is an even more solid feel. Thanks to the adjustable pedals adjustable steering wheel and also the driver find virtually any body type fast optimal seating position.
The interior impresses with modern controls, comfort and safety. The steering wheel in the style of the current Formula 1 racing car bears all the relevant control buttons and shift paddles for the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Thanks to the freely programmable central digital displays the driver retains all vehicle information is always in view. The display unit can be freely programmed depending on the driving situation and selected driving mode.

GRMN Sports FR Concept Toyota GT 86
"GRMN Sports FR Concept" said Toyota wants to study at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 29 June to 1 July 2012 to show what can be put in the new Toyota GT 86. Toyotas Gazoo Racing team has given the sports car a particularly strong version of the four-cylinder boxer engine. Usually the cause Saugotto creates 200 hp and 205 Newton meters. Help in the study, a turbo and a supercharger to the two-liter engine with an output of 320 hp and maximum torque of 421 Newton meters.
95 millimeters above the ground
For racing purposes, the study was a specially tuned sports suspension and bigger brakes. 18-inch wheels and an exhaust system with four tail pipes, wider bumper, rear spoiler and a powerful point to the features of this compact sports car. Moreover, the body was lowered, so that the concept car is now only 95 millimeters crouches on the floor. Inside the concept car has a roll cage, bucket seats and four-point racing harnesses. In the center console displays for boost pressure, and water and oil temperature were integrated.
For now, only one study
It was developed as GRMN Sports Concept Design Study for FR motorsports fans from around the world. Whether the super-car goes into production, will be decided. First comes the weaker version of the GT series 86 in September 2012.

2012 Infiniti M35h GT Premium Reviews
With the Infiniti M35h also offers a hybrid model.
In North America, Infiniti is one of the most popular brands in the premium segment in Europe, the luxury brand of Nissan is still trying to build the sales organization in order to inspire consumers for cars.
Comparing the Japanese premium brands with the German, it is a perfect blend between Infiniti, BMW and Mercedes. It relies on extremely luxurious features and combines them with a very dynamic design.
The latest product is the Infiniti M, which is located in the premium and luxury to attract new customers with a sleek design. As a special highlight, the Infiniti M also with hybrid technology, we have also selected the same test for our model of the most innovative series and tested in the M35h GT Premium version.
The Infinti M35h in GT Premium version pampers passengers with every conceivable luxury and safety extras.
In addition to mandatory ESP, ABS and six airbags, the Infiniti is safety even with intelligent speed control, a blind spot warning system, a Collision, a lane departure warning system, bi-xenon headlights with adaptive cornering lights, an intelligent brake assist system including emergency braking and a cornering brake assist come up.
For the comfort features can be air-conditioned leather seats with electric adjustment, a multimedia package with touch-screen navigation system and DVD player, a Bose premium surround sound system with 5.1 decoding and 16 speakers, the Forrest-air system with automatic air recirculation, mode breezes and air purifier, heated steering wheel and 18 "alloy wheels forward.
As dynamic as the exterior appearance, the Infiniti will also show the interior. Here you can see a lot of attention to detail and a perfect finish, which is combined with quality materials.
At first glance, you have quite a knob-maze in front of him, which, however, because of the many features of the Infiniti offers is necessary. Once you have made so familiar, which switch on which function is to find your way quickly and intuitively.
The shiny aluminum center console blends perfectly with the wood trim, leather seats and aluminum applications in the doors. You feel the Infiniti definitely very well right away and enjoy the comfortable seats, with a well-functioning hot summer days cooling also make it very tolerable.
In space, you can look forward to the class corresponding dimensions. When stopping the engine, the steering wheel also automatically swings away from the driver continues to facilitate the exit - and here is the Infiniti so very accommodating. Of course then takes the wheel when you start back on the previously set position.
The only downside of the Hybrid Infiniti is the trunk, which are due to hybrid components positioned behind the back seat, has shrunk to 350 liters and so does not fit into a luxury car.
Will be compensated but by a top mix of gasoline and electric motor. Under the hood lies dormant, the proven 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine with an output of 306 hp (225 kW), which is supported by a 68 hp (50 kW) electric motor. The system performance is thus at 364 hp (268 kW).
The gasoline engine comes to a peak torque of 350 Nm at 5,000 r / min, the electric motor to 270 Nm at 1770 r / min. In combination this results in a massive thrust whenever you press the gas pedal toward the floor plate. In only 5.5 seconds to sprint from standstill to 100 km / h, top speed is 250 km / h It remains in the interior stehts whisper, as one would expect from a luxury sedan in the premium segment. The courses are in the Infiniti M35h by a 7-speed automatic, both very fast, and very gently moved, which fits well with the vehicle characteristics.
Despite the enormous power you can also slide very slowly with the Infiniti, and then enjoy the benefits of hybrid drive. The Infiniti M35h features namely a very ingenious hybrid technique that surprisingly often allows vehicles to operate in electric mode alone.
The switch between gasoline and electric operation takes place instantaneously. Sideslip as the "sailing" mode where the engine is turned off at 100 km / h on the highway and just type short for a planned overtaking on the gas, turn on again immediately to the internal combustion engine, and you can get fast.
This gives the nearly five meters long been Infiniti sports car feeling in terms of performance, without even bringing the hybrid selector in the position of sports, where the Infiniti is still a trace of sporting approaching the matter.
Also, the whole trimmed for comfort chassis and suspension are in the sports mode, a bit harder. So satisfied the Infiniti, which can be quite fast around tight corners measure exactly the needs of comfort, such as sports fans.
The energy flow between the battery, combustion engine and electric motor can also follow the big screen in the center console. Especially in city driving the Infiniti is often driven purely by the electric motor, which also results in excellent fuel economy.
On average, our test vehicle Infiniti M35h satisfied with 7.7 liters of petrol per 100 kilometers, an absolutely fantastic value for a 360-hp car. Especially since we have also enjoyed the excellent acceleration values more often. Without this you will certainly approach the work from the promised 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers.
The 2012 Infiniti M35h is certainly one of the biggest surprises in our test fleet. It combines absolute luxury with outstanding performance at extremely low fuel consumption, and the whole thing at a very reasonable price for a car of this performance and equipment category. The question remains whether it can be kept secret even from a best seller in its class. Except with his little trunk, the Infiniti that is convincing in all areas.
