Egyptian Rustic Art Cars

The Egyptian protesters in their quest for freedom have developed a rather unique form of art car creation. All that is needed, is an angry mob, gasoline, a lighter and a parked car. The angry mob picks a car at random, dosed it in gasoline and then sets it on fire. The process takes about an hour and after everything flammable is consumed a very unique and beautiful texture emerges on the car.

2009 Maybach Landaulet Exclusive Luxury Saloons Powered By an Uprated V12 Engine

2009 Maybach Landaulet Exclusive Luxury Saloons

The tradition-laden Maybach luxury brand is adding a fifth model to its line-up. The new Maybach Landaulet resurrects the legend of the classic luxury landaulets, a feature of which is that only the chauffeur’s area is closed. An extra-large folding roof opens up over the pampered rear-seat passengers when required, leaving no obstructions between them and the blue sky above. The Maybach Landaulet thus offers a majestic open-air experience currently unrivalled by any other automobile. Boasting a certain romantic quality and allowing its passengers the opportunity to savour closeness to nature, this exceptional vehicle also features the ultimate in comfort and technological sophistication and as such sets the new standard for the world’s most exclusive luxury saloons.

2009 Maybach Landaulet Exclusive Luxury Saloons

In November 2007, Maybach had revived the aura of the grand carriages of days gone by with its Landaulet study. The European premiere of this sparkling white one-off study is taking place at the 78th Geneva Motor Show. Even beforehand, however, the response from the public to this masterpiece has been overwhelming, so much so that Maybach decided to offer the hand-built Landaulet based exclusively on the customer’s own specifications.

A limited number of vehicles will be built in the Manufaktur workshops in Sindelfingenover a restricted period. The finest materials are painstakingly handcrafted by select specialists to meet the customers’ exacting requirements – just as the discerning Maybach clientele would expect. According to the latest Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI), a survey of 531 U.S.millionaires recently voted Maybach the most prestigious luxury automobile brand.

2009 Maybach Landaulet Exclusive Luxury Saloons

The Maybach name epitomises high-end luxury motoring. It stands for effortlessly superior automotive engineering at the very highest level, timeless and stylish elegance, and precision craftsmanship. Since approximately two-thirds of Maybach customers wish to tailor their cars exactly to their own tastes and ideas, Maybach is constantly expanding its exclusive range of customisation options.
In technical terms the Maybach Landaulet is based on the Maybach 62 S - which can claim to be the world's most powerful series-produced chauffeured saloon. Maybach technicians have removed the rear roof module in order to afford passengers an unobstructed view of the sky above. The side walls have been invisibly reinforced with an integral tubular steel structure. As these measures have not altered the silhouette of the luxury saloon, the generously dimensioned doors and the complete interior with reclining seats remain unchanged.

Maybach has adapted the luxurious rear compartment to the requirements of open-top motoring. For instance, the rear head restraints are slightly larger than on the saloon and effectively help reduce wind turbulence.
Designed from the outset as a chauffeur-driven limousine, the Maybach Landaulet is equipped with a partition. The lower section of the partition consists of an aluminium sandwich structure. The upper section comprises an electro-transparent laminated glass panel that can be lowered by electric motor.

The Maybach Landaulet is powered by an uprated V12 engine which Maybach engineers have developed further for the Maybach 57 S and Maybach 62 S together with the specialists at Mercedes-AMG. Thanks to twin turbochargers and water intercooling, the V12 develops a maximum output of 450 kW/612 hp from a displacement of 5980 cubic centimetres. This is continuously available between 4800 and 5100 rpm, and the engine also delivers an impressive maximum torque of 1000 newton metres between 2000 and 4000 rpm.

Equipped with the AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control) electronically controlled air suspension system and the Adaptive Damping System (ADS II), the Maybach Landaulet achieves an outstanding level of ride comfort whilst at the same time proving that even a prestigious automobile can display excellent agility and handling qualities.

2010 Jaguar XFR Dramatic Expression of a Bold New Jaguar Design Language

2010 Jaguar XFR

The 2010 model year XF features all-new 5.0-liter direct-injection V8 engines. There are also significant trim and specification changes – including many new features unique to the new XFR – and the introduction of a new Portfolio derivative.

When it was introduced last year, the XF was soon recognized as a dramatic expression of a bold new Jaguar design language. It also soon became apparent that here was a car where the driving experience exceeded the expectations created by the striking appearance. Now, the new XFR takes this driving experience to new levels, shifting the balance even further towards dynamic performance while still retaining the XF’s core values as a refined and luxurious sports sedan.

2010 Jaguar XFR

The enhanced exterior styling of the Jaguar XFR moves those sporting credentials on even further, to deliver the ultimate expression of Jaguar's new saloon car design language - carrying a number of visual design cues that are intrinsic to Jaguar's 'R' car philosophy. Its unique front-end design has a larger lower grille with new black-finished mesh, plus chrome outboard air intakes. The upper mesh grille retains XF's bright finish, while the bonnet carries distinctive louvres.

2010 Jaguar XFR

The Jaguar XFR's sporting character is clearly apparent in the 20-inch Nevis alloy wheels. It is the only car in its class to offer this size of wheel as standard specification. Those twin-seven-spoke wheels bear the wording 'Jaguar Supercharged' embossed around their centres, and are wrapped tightly around silver-grey brake callipers, which carry the evocative 'R' logo.The interior design theme is modern and individual.

2010 Jaguar XFR

The supercharged 5.0-litre V8 that powers the new XFR is Jaguar's new flagship engine, but it is only half of the petrol engine story - a naturally-aspirated version of the all-new engine brings additional advanced technologies and performance to other models in the XF range.
Power comes from an all-new 5.0-liter direct-injection supercharged V8 engine delivering 510bhp and 461lb-ft of torque. Immediately recognizable thanks to unique new 20-inch wheels, a new front end design with revised chrome air intakes, 'Supercharged' hood louvres, four polished exhaust tailpipes, an aerodynamically functional rear spoiler and side sills, the new XFR also sports discreet ‘R’ badging.

The new XFR features Active Differential Control and Adaptive Dynamics – technologies being introduced for the first time on this and the XKR sports car. The electronically controlled differential and suspension system work together to optimize traction under hard acceleration and cornering – highly appropriate for a car that offers an electronically limited top speed of 155mph and reaches 60mph from standstill in just 4.7 seconds. The XFR also adds a faster steering ratio and uses the XF’s largest ventilated disc brakes – although every version of the XF with the new, more powerful engines features upgraded braking specification.

2010 Jaguar XFR

The attributes that marked out the XF at launch are still very much new and in the public eye. The four-door XF has the visual excitement of a coupe, but room inside for five adults to enjoy an interior wholly contemporary in style yet uniquely Jaguar.

Jaguar has developed a unique, intelligent oil-pump pressure relief valve (PRV) which senses oil pressure deep in the engine's oil galleries to control the oil pump delivery. As a result, oil pump frictional losses are reduced during the warm-up period. New engine oil has a lower viscosity, contributing to an extension in service intervals from 10,000 miles to 15,000 miles or 12 months. Both V8 engines are now fitted with an electronic oil level sensor feature for added peace of mind.

2010 Jaguar XFR

Minimising internal friction is key to improving fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and as such was a key aim when it came to the design of the engines. As a result, the new Jaguar AJ-V8 Gen III engines achieve another best in class, setting a new industry benchmark for cranktrain efficiency.A sixth-generation, twin vortex system (TVS) supercharger is fitted to the Jaguar XFR's 510PS engine.
The all-new 5.0-litre AJ-V8 Gen III and the 3.0-litre diesel AJ-V6 D Gen III engines transmit power through an enhanced version of Jaguar's acclaimed ZF 6HP28 electronically controlled, six-speed transmission. Additional clutch plates and an uprated torque converter have been added for the supercharged V8 to facilitate the extra power.

SpeedART Turbo Porsche Panamera Sports Car

German tuner and Porsche specialist SpeedART celibrates its 10th birthday. As a celebration they have created an exhaust package for the Porsche Panamera Turbo.The PS9 package for the German sports saloon ups the ante with numerous aero add-ons and a bevy of performance upgrades. The Sport-Abgas system provides your Panamera with a more raw sound and twenty extra horses.

The Essen Motor Show, which runs from November 28 to December 6 and is best described as Europe’s answer to SEMA, will see Porsche tuning shop, SpeedART, revealing its take on the Panamera.

SpeedART Turbo Porsche Panamera Sports Car

The kit brings the total output to 520bhp. The sprint of the 4.8 liter twin turbo V8 will probably be hit the 4.0 seconds. Top speed will not increase a lot but 303km/h (190mph) isn’t too bad for a four-door sedan.Set to be officially unveiled at the Essen Motor Show, the range topping PS9 features 650 hp and 890 Nm of torque thanks to bigger turbochargers, a sport exhaust system (with a sound switch), a sport catalyst, and a revised ECU. These changes enable the car to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed in excess of 200 mph. If 650 hp is too hot to handle, the company also offers more modest performance packages that allow the engine to produce 550 and 600 hp.SpeedART claims that the most powerful version of the car accelerates from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.5 seconds and goes on to achieve a top speed in excess of 320km/h or 200mph.

SpeedART Turbo Porsche Panamera Sports Car

In terms of styling, the PS9 is outfitted with an aerodynamic body kit which consists of a front chin spoiler, hood vents, a rear diffuser, a roof spoiler, a modified rear bumper (with air outlets), and aggressive side skirts. Other design details include 22-inch three-piece 'LSC FORGED' wheels and the aforementioned sport exhaust system (available in polished stainless steel or matt black).Inside, the cockpit will get a SpeedART steering wheel with F1-shift paddles, real carbon-fiber trim and accents, new leather upholstery with colored stitches and a revised instrument panel.At the back, we see a new bumper, and the trapezoidal exhaust pipes. A new rear spoiler will also be mounted.

All New Full Size Honda Accord: Dimensi Baru Kemewahan Sedan

Honda semakin mempertegas posisinya sebagai yang teratas di pasar sedan Indonesia dengan menghadirkan generasi kedelapan dari Honda Accord. All-New Full Size Honda Accord, yang diluncurkan di Jakarta 3 Maret 2008, tampil dengan desain yang lebih mewah dan dimensi yang terbesar di kelasnya, juga fitur-fitur dengan teknologi terdepan dan mesin yang lebih bertenaga.

Keunggulan Honda Accord telah diakui secara Internasional dengan lebih dari 50 penghargaan otomotif bergengsi yang diterima dari berbagai negara sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan pada tahun 1976. Di Indonesia sendiri, Honda Accord pun dipilih sebagai “Best Big Sedan” oleh majalah Autobild pada tahun 2004 dan berhasil meraih gelar “Indonesia Car Of The Year” dan “Best Sedan” dari majalah Mobil Motor pada tahun 2005.

Sejak diluncurkan pada 1976, Honda Accord telah mencatat penjualan 15,1 juta unit di 160 negara di seluruh dunia. “Dengan torehan prestasi dan catatan penjualannya, Honda Accord benar-benar merupakan sebuah sedan global yang mewakili reputasi kendaraan Honda di seluruh dunia,” ungkap Yukihiro Aoshima, President Director PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM).

Di Indonesia Indonesia, Honda Accord telah diterima dengan sangat baik oleh masyarakat dan menjadi benchmark bagi sedan premium di Indonesia dalam hal desain dan terobosan teknologi.

“Honda Accord ini diciptakan dengan segala kelebihan dari sebuah sedan kelas atas. Dengan dimensi bodi yang terbesar di kelasnya, performa yang lebih sempurna, serta desain yang lebih mewah, Honda Accord kini telah naik kelas dan tampil sebagai sebuah sedan full size yang dapat disejajarkan dengan mobil-mobil mewah di kelas atas,” Yukihiro Aoshima

Jonfis Fandy, Marketing & Aftersales Service Director PT HPM, mengungkapkan keyakinannya bahwa model terbaru dari Honda Accord ini akan kembali menempatkan Honda Accord sebagai market leader di kelasnya. “Model terbaru ini merupakan revolusi yang sempurna dari model-model terdahulu Honda Accord, baik dari segi dimensi eksterior dan interior, mesin, fitur keamanan, maupun efisiensi bahan bakar dan performa yang ramah lingkungan,” kata Jonfis.

“Dengan dimensi full size, Honda Accord sekarang naik kelas dari kelas medium menjadi setara dengan sedan premium. Konsep Bigger, Better, Bolder yang digunakan Honda Accord menggambarkan dimensi yang lebih besar, teknologi yang lebih maju, serta desain yang lebih mewah, memberikan standar baru bagi sedan di kelasnya, dengan fitur fitur-fitur inovatif yang tidak dapat ditemukan di mobil-mobil lainnya,” tambah Jonfis.

All-New Full Size Honda Accord mengusung beberapa teknologi terbaru yang untuk pertamakalinya diterapkan pada mobil Honda di Indonesia, antara lain mesin 3,5 liter i-VTEC V6 yang dilengkapi generasi kedua dari Variable Cylinder Management (VCM).

Fitur VCM berguna untuk mengatur jumlah silinder yang aktif dalam melakukan pembakaran sesuai dengan beban mesin, medan yang dilalui, serta kecepatan kendaraan. Dalam keadaan mendaki atau akselerasi tinggi, VCM mengatur mesin agar beroperasi penuh dengan 6 silinder untuk menghasilkan kekuatan yang besar. Saat beban mesin dalam kondisi sedang, mesin bekerja dengan 4 silinder untuk menghasilkan tenaga yang efisien. Sementara saat kendaraan bergerak dalam kecepatan rendah atau dalam kondisi cruising, maka hanya 3 silinder yang bekerja untuk memaksimalkan efisiensi bahan bakar

Fitur canggih lainnya adalah Speed Sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC), yang mengatur volume suara berdasarkan kecepatan kendaraan sehingga kenikmatan menikmati musik dalam kabin tidak akan terganggu dengan noise akibat deru mesin. Keheningan di dalam kabin semakin sempurna pada Honda Accord berkat fitur Active Noise Cancelation (ANC), yang secara otomatis mencegah masuknya suara-suara dari luar kabin.

Selain itu, kabin Honda Accord masih dilengkapi dengan berbagai fitur canggih seperti cruise control, paddle shift, audio steering switch, Dual Zone Auto Air Condition, Rear Air Vent, Power Rear Sunshade, electric sunroof dan masih banyak lagi.

Tidak hanya nyaman dan mewah, All-New Full Size Honda Accord juga semakin bertenaga. Mesin 3,5 liter V6 i-VTEC memberikan tenaga besar dengan maksimum 275 PS pada 6200 rpm, dengan torsi maksimal 34,6 kgm pada 5000 rpm. Mesin ini menggabungkan teknologi Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), Valve Timing Control (VTC), Drive By Wire (DBW), dan Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) yang secara otomatis mengatur jumlah silinder yang bekerja sesuai dengan kondisi perjalanan. Kombinasi tersebut menghasilkan tenaga yang besar, akselerasi yang mulus, serta efisiensi bahan bakar dan emisi yang lebih bersih.

Sementara mesin 2,4 liter DOHC i-VTEC kini memberikan kekuatan maksimal 180 PS pada 6500 rpm, lebih tinggi 10 PS dari model sebelumnya, dengan torsi maksimal 23.0 kgm pada 4500 rpm.

Honda Accord telah dilengkapi dengan fitur keamanan, seperti Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), lampu High Intensity Discharge (HID) dengan teknologi Auto leveling, struktur bodi G-CON dengan teknologi Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACETM), Front Dual i-SRS Airbags, Side Airbags dengan sensor OPDS yang dapat melacak posisi duduk penumpang, Dual Pretensioner seat belt with 2 steps load limiters dan active head rest restraint. Honda Accord juga lebih aman bagi pejalan kaki jika terjadi tabrakan karena telah menerapkan pedestrian protection body. Untuk menjamin keamanannya, Honda Accord juga telah melalui uji tabrak dengan berbagai ukuran kendaraan dari berbagai sisi, dan lulus dengan rating tertinggi yaitu 5 bintang berdasarkan standar NCAP.

Tersedia 6 pilihan warna untuk Honda Accord, yaitu Alabater Silver Metallic, Silver Stone Metallic, Nighthawk Black Pearl, Brilliant White Pearl, serta dua warna terbaru yaitu Polished Metal Metallic dan Bold Beige Metallic.

New Honda Accord seri VTi akan dipasarkan dengan harga on the road Rp. 380 juta untuk transmisi manual dan Rp. 395 juta untuk transmisi otomatis. Sementara seri VTi-L akan dipasarkan dengan harga Rp. 428 juta untuk transmisi otomatis. Sedangkan varian 3.5 liter V6 i-VTEC dipasarkan dengan harga Rp 575 juta (on the road Jakarta). /PR
